After an illness of three months Joseph Martin Reece, Editor of the Daily Record, died at his home in Greensboro on Aug. 24th, last. He was bopi at Jamestown in Guilford county on June 10, .1848, and lived in that county all his life. Early in life he took to the printing business and liked it. On Nov. 17,' 1890, he and Mr. Elam founded the Record. Later he bought Mr. Elam's interest. The paper was regularly issued from the day it started, and widened in influence. Mr. Reece was a plain spoken ecTitor and hi* paper was sought after and read for the good sense it contained. Mr. Reece was a true Democrat. He is survived by his widow, who was ever helpful to him in his work. * Takes Her Place. At the court here last week a 6ne example of fidelity was set. A col ored man named Morris Graves, whose wife bad been sentenced to jailor six months upon a conviction for selling liquor, asked leave of the Court to serve his wife's sen tense. The Court was touched by the offer, lie allowed the husband to plead guilty in a made-up case, sent him to tho roads for thre6 months, and let the wife go. It is a rare thing to see such fidelity; rather one sees shirking and conniving to escape regardless of whom tho hardship falls upon. Such examples are rare Morr's Graves is a credit to bis race. Tho last note of President Wilson lias borue fruit. The demands of the United States upon Germany in regard to submarine war fare havje been accepted and Germeny assures America that passenger vessels will not in the futuro be torpedo ed with out warning. This is what Presi dent Wilson con'onded for all along. It was not an unreasonable demand and was in the interest of humanity. A statue of Joan of Arc, astride her charger in bio/.e, to be erected at Riverside Drive and Ninety third street, New York City, will rest upon a pedestal made from the stones of her prison at Rouen, France.

A dispatch from Little Rock, Ark., says that with hundreds of families driven to the high lands by the floods, appeals have been sent out for aid in caring for thousands of homeless and desti tute persons. One thousand fami lies have been driven Into New port, Searcy, Augusta and George town, Ark., where food and money are needed. More than 4,000 persons, virtually the entire popu tion, were unable to enter their homes because of flood waters. The war Department haa invit ed sculptors and designers to aub mlt plans for the memorial to Francis Scott Key, author of "The Star-Spangle Banner." De signs will be received until Octo ber 15. Congress appropriated $75,000 for the memorial, which will be at Ft. Mcllenry, Baltimore. A diapatch from Hartford, Ky., aaya the long atruggle of the au thorities with lawlessness In thai portion of western Kentucky cul minated In the Circuit Court at that place last week, when a group of a total of more than three-score persons were placed on trial for alleged participation in night rid ing outrages.

There has been talk for mouths that the manufacturers of the Ford automobiles would establish an auxiliary plant in this State. The Charlotte Observer says buildings have been leased in Charlotte for an "assembling plant" for the Ford people—that is to say, the part* of the machines will be ship ped to Charlotte from the main plant at Detroit and pnt together there.

DEFINITION OF DRY FARMING Principal Things Ar» 'Water Con servation, Drought Raalatant Crop* and System of Rotation. Dry farming simply means good farming. There la no place in the ! United States whore crops are not | reduced to some extent every year on account of an Inauflcient aupply of i water. The principal things then in dry farming are water conservation, the proper aelection of drought re , slatant crops, and a wise system of crop rotation, large proportion of the land devoted to forage, and feed crops, ! with a sufficient number of animals to consume all the cheap roughage pro duced on the farm. t In controlling the water supply the first thing to do is'to get the water Into the ground and then prevent per colation and evaporation. The soil will absorb water more rapidly and hold a greater quantity If It is prop erly tilled. Hence, fall plowing of the land, If It doee not blow, Is advis able. The plowing should be deep and thorough, since organlo matter will hold much more water than an equal volume of soil particles, the addition 4f vegetable matter is very Important. After the water Is In the soli much of the exaporation can be prevented by frequent and shallow? cultivation. An endeavor should be made to keep the loose soil mulch, but not a dust blanket, as it is frequently called. Dry farming consists of: Hirst, till ing so that the water will be absorbed by the soil; second, * good selection of drought resistant crops and the proper utilization of the crops. There have been several good bul letins published on this subject Uost of these bulletins can be secured free of charge by writing to the Afferent stations mentioned below: Bulletin No. 112, Utah Experiment Station, Logan, Utah. : Bulletin No. 61, New Hexloo Experi ment Station, Agricultural College, New Mexico. , Montana Experiment Station, Boie man, Mont.

"DRY FARMING" IN THE WESf i Just What It Means When Practiced Under Beml-Arld Conditions—Con gress Held at Denver. • 1 —— ( The extent to which "dry farming" has become a part of our national ag riculture is indicated by the prepare tions that are being made for the con -1 gress that is to be held in Denver, Sep tember 26 to October 10 next Thir teen states outside of Colorado have already made direct or Indirect appro priations, and seven other states are considering the matter favorably or have Indicated their Intention to make some kind of state display. These vir tually Include all of the states west of the Missouri river, together with Wis consin, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Minnesota. "Dry farming" consists essentially in the selection of crops suitable to semi arid conditions with such methods of cultivstlon as will secure the most fa vorable results in production from the scanty rainfall. These special methods of farming, remarks the Pueblo (Colo.) Chieftain, have already added hun dreds of thousands of acres to the pro ductive area of the western states, and millions to the annual crop value. A much larger benefit is certain to be realised from this source in the future, and It Is not surprising that the peo pie of all the western states should be desirous of learning more about the principles of "dry farming" and their application under the various local conditions. GET EDIBLE OIL FROM WEED Hitherto Worthless Plsnt May Bs Utilized for Food—lt is Also Val uable for Live Stock. The discovery that oil from the dev il's claws, a hitherto worthless weed, can be utilised for fpod'may result la making It a valuable Industrial product for the semarid regions of Kansas, ac cording to Prof. E. H. 8. Bailey, the University of Kansas food chemist Laboratory Investigations showed that this weed, now growing abundant ly on the waste lands of western Kan sas, Colorado, Texas and New Mexico, , produces a seed from which an edible ■ oil Is extracted that may take the place of olive or cottonseed oil. The press cake from the oil Is alsc valuable for stock food, as It has a high protein value.

Root crops grown in sandy soils are always more smooth than those grown on the heavy soils. How ever, these vegetables can be raised very successfully for home use in the home garden with a comparatively small amount of special care, on al most any type of soil. Practically all of our vegetables consist of over 80 per cent water, with some having almost SB per cent of wa ter. The quality of fresh vegetables is largely dependent upon this large amount of moisture. With crops such as lettuce, celery and cabbage, where the leaf parts, that contain a very high per cent, of water, are eaten, it Is very important to have an abunt dant supply of moisture. With insuffi cient moisture these crops are stunt ed and have a very Inferior flavor. The rapid growth resulting from an abundant supply of moisture produces the vary delicate leaf tissues which ai;e characteristic of vegetables of best quality. Some vegetables, such as to matoes and melons, need a very abun dant supply of moisture early in the season, but produce vegetables of best quality if the soil is comparatively dry during the ripening season. Soli moists ure can be conserved by frequent and continuous cultivation during the sum mer. In the sections having light soils, or soils deficient in moisture,, a very satisfactory plan during dry sea sons Is to cover the soil with a mulch of straw manure during the early part of the summer, instead of culti vating. EXCELLENT FOR WORK STOCK Capacity of Budan Grass to Live Through Hard Drought la Ite Highest Recommendation. Sudan grass is recommended as an excellent hay for work animals fed grain and one acre will furnish all the hay that one work horse or mule will need In IS months. And come rain, or come drought, Sudan grass Is one plant that will make more or less of a crop. Its capacity for living through a bias ing drought is its very highest recom mendation. Because of this quality It was brought to the United States and the recent dry years have served to call attention to its possibilities. Tezaa feeding experlmenta show that the stock prefer It to mllleta, the cattle and horses eating it greedily. The first cutting at the Kansas station In 1914, was made between the dates of July 6 and July 16, was of fine qual ity and waa readily eaten by stock. The straw remaining after tha aeed waa threshed out of tha later cuttings waa eaten by horaee with as much rel ish aa shown in their consumption of any other hay. Horses, cattle and hoga were fed with thla hay during the Kansss experiments. In Colorado It waa fad to dairy cat tle, in green forage form, with exeat lent results. The milk flow waa imme diately Increased. Professor Church ill of the Oklahoma atatlon found It waa readily eaten by all classes ol stock, none of tha stems being wasted. As both hay and straw, it waa cleaned up by cattle and horaea, tha work horaee of the atatlon being carried through the summer months oo a for age ration of tha hay and tha atraw. It proved slightly laxative, an added point In Its favor aa a forage. ROOT GALLS CAUSE TROUBLE No Way of Controlling Annoyanoe ■* capt by Rotation of Crops—Cern and Oate Net Hurt.
