He was house, and that the real object in starting it was to try to prevent the 20 cent reduction in the 1930 •tax rate or at least to try to force the County- Commissioners to raise the rate higher than $1.75 which is the figure fixed for this year. If the people of Johnston County really want relief from high taxes, they should stand firm with the pres ent board of County Commissioners, and give these worthy men their loy al support, regardless of the sland erous and fake reports that ane be ing circulated. It is not thought that the taxpayers will fail to recognize their best friends. That Billion dollar lie that Mr. Tillotson is expected to talk about over the radio at 7:00 o’clock next Monday night must be quite a good size lie; but he will no doubt take its "measure before he is through with it. He is expected to trace it direct to” Democratic National Headquarters in Washington, D. C., and to nail it so securely that it can not be successfully circulated thereafter. There are now indications in John ston County that there may be some nailing of Democratic lies nearer home before the end of the present campaign. There probably has never before been a campaign in the history of this County in which so much cash, and so much effort was expended in trying to fool and mislead the vot ers, as is now being done by Tam many and the “me too” D.emocratic politicians all along down the line from New York to Smithfield. A citizen from another township ■who was in Smithfield Monday, said the thing that had brought more .en couragement, and inspired more hope for relief from high taxes than all else that had been done in. recent years was the cutting of the school budget by the County Commissioners, and then reducing the tax rate from $1.95 to $1.75 on the $100.00 worth of property, which was a real serv Ice to the peoplie of Johnston Coun ty at this time. For years we have heard promises and promises, and then some more promises, about reducing taxes and y^et very little has been done except to raise taxes higher from yeor to year. In 1925 the Republicans cut the rate .for school tax from 70 cents ter 68 cents on the $100.00 ■worth of property and asi soon as the Democrats got back into con trol they raised salaries and in creased expenditures, and then put taxes much higher than they had ever been before. It is reported that on next Mon day at 7:00 o’clock P. M. Mr. Tillot- son, a prominent Republican leader of Connecticut will be heard in a radio speech' over the National Broadcasting system, and that his subject will be “A Billion Dollar Lie Nailed.” Mr. *Tillotson is an orator, as well as one of the best informed men in the country, and will no doubt furnish entertainment for those who tune in on station W. P. T. F. at Raleigh at 7:00 o’clock ntext Mon day evening. The announcement in the Johnston- ian-Sun last week that Congressman George JI. Pritchard would speak in the Court House at Smithfield at -7:00 P. M. on Sept. 29, has created cor.sid----'hle interest over the Coun ty. Mr. Pritchard is the Republican -..v.Klidate for U. S. Senator to suc- eoed Senator Simmons, and is the opponent of J. W. Bailey. It is ex- 'pected that there will be a large rrowd in Smithfield to hear Jit. Britcha fd.

Among the interesting- communications reaching the Govern ment was a letter from former At torney General Albert Ottinger of Ne-iv York which told of the efforts of the Anglo-American Mill Com pany, of which Maurice Levin is the head. The letter urged the use of home-mill feed mixed with molasses, on a wholesale plan which it de clared constituted a sound farm re lief measure. In order to get the plan under wa> Mr. Levin offered to donate 2,000,000 gallons- of mo lasses and the use of a great quantity of his ‘company’s feeding machines, in addition to the services of his entire staff of engineers, and make the initial installation at his own expense under the supervision and guidance of the Farm Bureau.

Blair, extension agronomist at State College. “The Kobe, a large grow ing late variety from Japan, led in hay production on these tests with a iied of 3,160 pounds an acre. The common variety usually grown in this State, was second making a yield of 3,060 pounds an acre, while the Tennessee 76 variety, a selection from common but maturing later, was third with a yield of 3,040 pounds of hay an acre. Korean came fourth with a yield of 2,700 pounds.” In making these field demonstra tions, Mr. Blair says the lespedeza was planted on a crop of oats plant ed the previous fall. About 30 pounds of seed an acre was used and covered with a weeder. Sowing was complete on the oht-s about March 20 and no fertilizer or lime was used on either the oats or the les pedeza in this particular case. After the oats had been mown for hay in Hay, the weeds were cripped from the field in June. This was the only attention the lespedeza received from the time it was plant ed in March until it was out on September. 1. An early cutting was done so that enough second growth could be secured for the crop to mature seed. Mr. Blair says the demonstration is located on the farm of I4. P. Andrews about 2 1-2 miles north of -Goldsboro and on a Norfolk fine loam soil. County Agent A. K. Robertson of WayHe County cooperated with Mr. Blair and Mr. Andrews in con- lucting the work. Feed System would save million^ of dollars worth of wheat and other additional crops, and by the grind ing and mixing of this forage and damaged crops would convert them into feeds and balanced rations^ so that they could be supplied to live stock and thus make it unnecessary to ship cattle out of stricken areas only to be shipped back at a great expense later on, because of the lack of pasture or feeds.

Marvin, Chief of the Weather Bureau, United States De partment of Agriculture, recently in vented a simple instrument through which a v.ieather observer can look at clouds over airports at night and determine their height, or ^ the height of ceiling,” as the aviator terms 'it. This instrument, nameil the clinom eter, resembles a v^ry short tele- . cope, although it has no lense, and is used in conjunction with a search light. The beams from the. search light are projected on the bottom of a cloud, usually straight up. Five hundred feet from the searchlight— .sometimes 1,9^^ feet—the ob.'ervei stands and look's-through the clindm- .“ter, ranging it on the light spot on the 'bottom of the cloud. A pendu lum hanging straight down from the under sige of the clinometer at all positions, is locked in position by a screw when the clinometer is prop erly aligned. The pendulum shows on a graduat ed scale the,, exact angle at which the cinometer was held. A prepared chart in the hands of weather 'ob servers readily shows, the. heiglit of clouds for each angle of the clinom eter and corresponding to different distances of the seaschliglit. Clinometers soon will be issued to administrations of the past, which | ,,gg iggded with, a good size charge; made the laws that it now requires 1 j ^vguRl suppose, but I would also .so much tax money to carry nut,, gugg.gst that you regulate your windgauge too, as there is a Sou’ Wester blowing from down in the- Radical , Corner, which is liable to- blow your shot but of line. lAell, ^0 long, Josiah, and good luck.
