for wheat and clover, smaller pros

Frost and stums and the large crop

Commissioner Graham thinks that the

brew in the field, but who applies
knowledge and science to his land.
Commissioner Graham deplores that
fact that the general assembly failed
to authorize the department to erect

thought it unjust to put an item in a

Commissioner Graham recommends
that the positions of botanist and

Commis-ioner Graham suKKests that

little more than keep books, the com
ini sioner says, and merely duplicates
what is done at the farms.

er, a month old infant boy is III a little
cot at Uex ho-pital while the police
officers are searching for the woman,
l.ula Collans, who left the child at
Hotel Turner Monday afternoon. The
only tangible clues that the police have
to work on are a bottle of pariiKoric
purchased from the "Kast Durham

note written by the woman and left
on the bed in her room and the pho

elderlv woman found in a handbag

be learned. She told the clerk that
her home was In Macon, (la., and
others that she hailed from Norfolk.
She was apparently about 25 years
old and registied nt the hotel about
noon Monday. It was the crying of
the deserted baby that caused the
search lor the mother and the sub
sequent information that she had left
the child to the hotel people.
State Treasurer I.acy is preparing
for an issue of fl,142,."t0 in North
Carolina four per cent bonds, bids
fur which will be opened June 11 at
noon. It is no! thought that the state
will have any trouble tloating the issue
as the last bonds offered were suh
fcribed nearly four times. The bonds
will take care of deficits and appro
priations al public institutions.
Insuiance Commissioner Young
thinks it would be Ihe part of wisdom
for municipalities to restrict pre-slng
clubs to territory on the outside of
the lire district. He said that he had
noticed that a great many lires orlg

careless management are a menace to
