The Fruits of Idleness.
"For Satan finds some mischief still j
For idle hands to do."
Charlotte Observer
Among the mill operatives
thrown out of employment at
Kaunapolis, six weeks ago, were
three young men who, at least,
chafing under exactions of en
forced illness, conceived the idea
of stealing an automobile, al
though the operation involved re
sort-to banditry. They lured a
jitney owner from Coucord to a
remote place near Statesville,
where they assaulted him, cram
med a hankerchief down his
throat, bound him hand and foot
and left him in a deserted house.
They took 1100 from his pockets,
then getting into his machine start
ed out **for Texas." They were
shortly overhauled on the high
way and taken to Statesville
where they are locked in jail. A
newspaper report says "much
feeling exists" in the community.
Naturally this should be the case
in contemplation of a crime of
that nature and one to which the
people of this State Have been
strangers. These yoang fellows
are no doubt headed for the peni
tentiary. That they are to suffer
no worse fate may be set down to
the conservatism of the people
and law-abiding disposition of tho
community they have outraged.
In a country accustomed to l>er
formances of the kind they might
never have seen the inside of a
jail.
Primarily the strike mandate
THE ALAMANCE GLEANER.
they obeyed is responsible for the
plight they find themselves in,
but not wholly. From tho cotton
mill these young men entered the
devil's workshop, wherein only
mischief is patterned and turned
out. It was under the influences
of that workshop that the evil in
their natnres found nurture and
propagation to the blossoming
out of ics victims into the charac
ter of full blown highwaymen.
There had been ' other occupai ion
to their hand, if they had desired
to work, and the trouble hatched
up during their moments of idle
ness was a matter of their own
responsibility.
' Crop Conditions.
Below is a report from the De
partment of Agriculture showing
condition of crops ending with
June:
The wheat crop is being thresh
ed and harvested in the Piedmont
district. The reports show a very
j light yield; harvesting is practi
cally over. Corn averages a fair
crop with improvement being
noted recently, Rust has been
bad generally. "Fair to poor"
sums hp the present condition of
cotton, with several Piedmont
counties reporting improved
stands, averaging 67 per cent of
a normal crop. Tobacco is poor
and small everywhere, but im
proving. Truck and pastures are
fair, but drying up for the
lack of rain. Hay and grasses
also need rain; the present con
dition averaging fair to good.
Except in Moore, there is a ve-y
good crop, fruit is scarce and
poor all over the State.
The live-stock supply is normal
or above, and conditions good.
A surplus of pure-bred stock is
reported in Catawba and hogs are
mentioned for sale in Richmond,
Pasquotank, and Catawba.
Reports indicate that the fields
are in good condition as far as
cultivation goes, and that the
crops are generally in good shape.
Cooperative Marketing is the
"main topic of conversation"
everywhere, and membership
campaigns are making very sat
isfactory progress.
The labor supply is plentiful
though not of the best grade.
Richmond and Anson report in
creased use of soda but the amount
of fertilizers used generally this
year is about 55 per cent of nor
mal.
The crops over the United
States are also variable. The
wheat crop is reported to be
"light and shriveled" as a result
of the hot, dry weather that they
too are suffering from. Oklaho
ma had enough wet weather to
damage the shocked grain.
Oats have .improved iu the
middle west and a fair crop is ox
pected. The cotton belt has a
late and irregular stand, with
69.2 per cent of a full crop—
forecasting 8,433,000 bales.
The general fruit crop is de
clining, due to hot and dry
weather.
What is a Bushel?
"Thirty-two quarts make one
bushel," recites Young America
glibly and positively. But the
.housewife who has purchased
family supplies for years is not at
all sure but that this is one of
the many rules that have their
exceptions. Specialists of the
Bureau of Markets, United States
Department of Agriculture, say
that the heaped bushel varies
with the price of the product and
the weight bushel varies widely
in different States. A bushel of
sweet potatoes is 4G pounds iu
Dakotas and 00 pounds in Mary
land. A bushel of tomatoes is 45
pounds in Oklahoma and GO
pounds in Virginia. A bushel of
unshelled green peas is 28 pounds
in Massachusetts and 56 pounds
iu Pennsylvania. The Bureau of
Markets recommends the adop
tion of the "struck" bushel —the
Wiuehester bushel of 2,150.42
inches —as the unit for
standards.
If what they have to Ireland be
war, Sherman's definition is more
than vindicated.
Less than a third of the world's
population is white and |s being
bled whiter.
GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. JULY 7. 1921
Rice a Delicious Food
When Properly Cooked.
Many Americans do not realize
that millions of people eat rice as
Americans and Europeans eat
bread. It is a palatable food, too,
and when proplrly cooked it can
be combined in many ways with
more expensive and highly flavor
ed foods into nutritious dishes.
Farmers' Bulletin 1195, Rice as
Food, just issue by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
is filled with directions for cook
ing rice in many attractive ways
not now known to American
housewives who are concerned
daily with the task of providing
properly balanced meals. «
Although the Orient produces
about 97 per cent of the world's
rice crop, the United States now
grows more than enough for its
present annual consumption.
Cultivation began in the Caroli
nas and Georgia in colonial days,
and has now assumed commer
cial importance in Lousiana, Tex
as, Arkansas, and the Sacramento
Valley iu California, and there
are scattered plantings in Miss
issippi, Florida, and Missouri.
The rice fields here are large,
often several thousand acres in
extent, and modern machinery
much like that for seeding, har
vesting, and threshing wheat, is
used.
The varieties of rice grown in
this country rank among the best
in the world. Of the many test
ed here two varieties, Carolina
Gold and Carolina White, seem
best adapted to the Atlantic
coast fields; the Honduras and
several Japanese varieties to
Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas;
and the Japanese to California.
The bulletin, Rice as Food, may
be had upon application to the
Division of Publications, Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. 0.
Boys' and Girls' Clubs
Work on Adult Problems.
Very important improvements
in farm practice frequently
introduced into a county tnrougli
the medium of the boys' and
girls' dairy, beef, poultry, or pig
clubs, specialists in club work iu
the United States Department of
Agriculture point out. Iu one
county in California purebred
swine have been developed by
the boys and sold to over 80 per
cent of the farms of the county.
Farmers who are doubtful cou
cerfjing the wisdom of uuy inno
vation suggested by the county
agont otttau approve when they
see the results obtained by the
boys.
"We cau think of the boys un
der 20 in a community as either
the 'iu.i' or the 'ouis,"' the spe
cialists say. "Those from (5 to 14,
are still in school, are ( the
'ins.' Our work is moie directly
with the 'outs'—from 14 to 20 —
the Uoo,ooo boys in the 33 North

have some sort of iuslruciiou aud
stimulus to accomplishment, be
cause they have dropped out of
school. Our theory cau be illus

alent statements:

One ol Intercut to Our Header*.
Good news bears repeating, and;
when it is confirmed after along l
lapao of time, even if we hesitated to I
believe it at first hearing, we feel Be-1
cure in accepting its truth now. The J
following experience of a Graham
man is confirmed after three yearß: !
W. W. Garrett, prop, restaurant,!
Court Houae Sq., Graham, says: j
"I had a bad attack of kidney trouble j
and I thought my back was broken.!
I would be laid tip for days, unabiej
to help myself. My kidneys caused 1
me a great deal of trouble, 100 I
bad these spells while j
until I began using Doan's Kidney!
Pills. They did me more good than)
anything else I ever used. My back J
got stronger and my kidneyK began j
acting as they should."
Over three years later, Mr. Garrett j
added: "I have had no need of Doan's
Kidney PiMs lately. I think this'
remedy is just what it is represeted
to be. Every word of my former!
statement still holds good."
