Time
sVr have almost reached the point j
where the v ork of the world can be
done jri half of the time thai it took
twenty years ago- The shortening of
the hours of the working day in industry
has mly just begun, according
t?; the LT. S. Department oi LaThe
eight-hour day is general '
in many industries, but in some sec- '
lions the ten-hour day still prevails. '
It is the belief of those who have
. studied the subject closely that a j
9 universal seven-hour day would give
T everybody work all the time, except '
for a reasonable vacation period, and
would not slow up production below
the demand for finished products, in 1
any Hm>. The difficulty is to Ret
competing industrial establishments 1
;> the chaftge. Such difficult
tie.-* are not insuperable, however.
Twenty years ago nGbody would have '
beiieved that it would be possible to :
get ail of the department stores in 5
Now York to agree to close all day
Saturday in summer, but it has been !
brought about.
Buildings
The newest thing in building con- j
st ruction is the "hung" building. Jr.- ]
stead of a foundation as big as the j
building? with posts at the four corners.
the building is hung from a
single steel pole set in concrete and .
resting at its lower end on bedrock. ,
Two1 such "hung" buildings have ,
Ween constructed in New York. The ,
center pole is in the middle of the ,
building, and all of the steel floor j
beams are suspended from it and j
braced against sagging- The outside |
6t the buiiding^ls merely a shell of .
brick or terra-cbtta to keen out the \
weather and does not have to sup- ;
port anything more than its own ]
weight. ,
Now efforts are being made to in- ^
traduce lighter materials tor the
walls and floors of hung buildings, ,
including featherweight, fireproof
concrete for floors and glass for the j
outer walls. Another innovation is j
steam radiators only ankle-high. [

Light ,
A yoGng man named Elmer Sper-j
ry went to Chicago fifty years ago j
. i Bg and began to make electric arc lights.
Ke built a tower on top fo the Boanl
of Trade building and installed 20
electric, arcs which gave 40,000 can- i
die-power of light- It was the wonder ;
of its time, but another young man
named Edison about, that time
brought out incandescent light and ,
that Soon replaced arcs for the lighting
of cities.
Elmer Sperry kepi. 011 experiment !'
ins with arcs, however, and <ievel-|
/?-" oped the searchlights which are used j i
today by every navy in the world and I.
by most armies. Sperry died a few;
v.eelte ago at the aye of 70. hut be-J
fore his death he.gave the city or]
Chicago the most powerful light ever |
built. It is known as the Lindbergh]
Beacon, and was first used during .
the national air meet in August. Itj
stands on a tower 600 feet above
Lake Michigan, ant, throws a light
more intense, per-souare inch of radiating
surface, than that of the sun.
It can be seen for 250 miies, to guide
fliers to the Chicago Airport.

(In W tnston-Salem Journal)
Refreshing rains of the past two!
weeks have "changed the face" of i
the mountains and valleys in Watauga
County, bringing out green grass:
in the pastures and meadows aiulj
giving now life to late crops. It is;
believed that despite the unprecedented
drouth of the summer months.
Watauga farmers will reap large!
profits this year from their varied!
crops.
vju lot c?> can ut' ceaxniHi 110 v* iitauga
"attic were shipped "down the!
country*' to pasture on the fresh!
vegetation of Eastern Carolina, although
for a time it appeared that
necessity of forage would compel
?uch a move. Nor have any Watauga
farmers, so far as can be learned,
been forced to sell their cattle at the
iid!C?h??>Kly low prices prevailing during
the past two months. Although
not more than half a crop of hay
was cut and stacked this fall, corn
stover and other feeds, every ves-1
tige of which was carefully saved, is
believed to be sufficient for winter
reeding.
Farmers in this county who paid
from nine to ten cents for cattle fori
summer grazing, were loathe to part
with them at the prevailing prices
n five and six cents per pound. The]
recent rise in the market has been i
witnessed with much satisfaction'
iiere and farmers Were again made
iopeful by the gradual rise also in
;he price of lambs and wool. Some
section5 of Watauga are tributary!
;o the large cheese factory in Ashe,|
end parts also sell dairy products to |
North Wilkesboro plants and others]
farther east. However, the grazing!
erritory is devoted to beef cattle
ind sheep and it is from these thai
lie largest income is received.
As fast as the potato crop is taken,
from the ground a market is dound
for it- Irish potatoes grown in Waauga
County from certified seed are
0 great demand throughout this and
ither states anil farmers are reoeivng
large re turns fiom their fields.
Hie average yield of Irish potatoes
s from 150 to 200 bushels per acre,
planting-and digging are the principal
expense factors, potatoes beytp
1 crop which requires but little cuiivation
during its brief growing peiod.
In Watauga County as * c-lsowhere i
n the mountainous region, il is estinatcd
that there is perhaps little
norc than a half a crop of corn. Dry
leather cut the cjop short. However, j
'aimers- are rutting the stalk at the
round, thus saving every portion of
t. Some is being used for silage but
ly far the greater portion will fill
ip space in barns and sheds formerly
aken up by hay. Fall pasture just
low, as a result of recent rains, arc
icing used to great advantage some

Barley tobacco growers in Wa-I
auga will this year receive thousands j
if-.dollars for thaiv.V'Ctap '-.which is I
onsidered of belter average quality j
lan that found anywhere in the Burey
robacro belt either ir. North Car
dina or Tennessee. The Burley ivue
f tobacco averages around 1,500 to
1.000 pounds per acre and is air
lived in sheds, the whole stalk being
ut and taken in at one operation,
tpproximiiiely 200 farmers in this
ounty began raising tobacco this
ear- The crop of Burley in 1029

Phe expansion of the tohaceo indusry
here depends largely upon the
inaneial success of the venture this
ear, it is said.

ovoduces a fine quality of v.hoat,

ir.d almost an average crip was harvested

Large quantities of buckwheat, j

md practically every rural family;
provides its own larder with native-i
jrown hogs, heef and mutton.
