COOPS Desperate Tactics Against Farmers- Most Who Now Sue Association Delivered Tobacco Outside. Judge Robert Binghatn, uative North Carolinian, millionaire owner of the Louisville Courier- Journal aud founder of suc cessful association of Kentucky Burley Tobacco Growers, which received nearly two hundred mil lion pounds of tobacco ia^tsea son, commencing on the opposi tion to cooperative marketing of tobacco, in some sections of North Carolina, stated last week that "The auction crowd are pursuiug tactics of desperation." Judge Bingham, after reading a recent issue of the Wilson, N. C., "Tobacco Farmer," telegraph ed the following message to Ral eigh headquarters of the Tobacco Growers' Cooperative Associa tion: ' "Examination of issue of To bacco Fanner, Juue G, convinces me auction crowd are pursuing tactics of desperation aud I can not believe the sound, intelligent men who compose great majority of tobacco growefs in Caroliuas and Virginia citn be misled by baseless and apparently ft envied statements published in that pa per, emanating as they do from the same group who have so long exploited the helpless individual grower and who now 'realize that the tri-state cooperative, by com bining 90,000 individually help less people, has given them a combined strength which will pro tect them from exploitation and enable them to obtain a fair price for the product which their energy and labor have brought forth."' The majority of the farmers folio have to sue their own association in Eastern North Carolina for recovery of their contracts are found to have sold.tobacco from their 1922 crop on the outside, instead of deliver ing it to their own association. Although less than two out of every thousand members of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative As sociation were involved in the ef fort of a few Eastern Carolina farmers to aga'n avoid deliveries, their action has brought indig nant protest from the loyal mem bers of their own counties and from association members in three states, according to reports from many of the county and local or ganizations reaching Raleigh headquarters this week. , t Clipping Red Clover. Whpn red clover is sown 011 small grain in the s» ring, it usually makes but little growth before the grain is harvested. The grain of course has a better de veloped root system than the young clover, putting the clover to a disadvantage in getting suf ficient moisture The shade fur ther retards the clover's growth. "But when the grain harvest re moves this shade," says E. C. Blair, extension Agronomist for the State College and Department of Agriculture, the soil moisture is left to the clover—and to the weeds. The weeds are likely to become stronger competitors than was the grain if some precautions are not taken." Mr. Blair* suggests that to pre vent this, run the inower over the field as often as necessary but do not wait until the last of August. By this time the weeds are waist high and have gone to seed. "Watch the weeds, and when ever they begin ttf overtop the clover, or to bloom, cut them," is Mr. Blair's suggestion. This will keep many clover plants from dying, and many weed seeds from sprouting next year. A cleaner crop of hay will be assured nebct year by raking up the weeds and the grain stubble. This will make a fairly good roughage. The clip ping will not hurt the clover, for the taller stems would later be winter killed if left alone. On rich land er land that has been well limed the clover often grows so vigorously as to keep the weeds in subjection, and makes a good crop of hay the first year. But under ordinary conditions tests have shown that the clip ping is time and labor well spent. Acreage cut of timber in this country a year Is about 10,000,000. GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. JULY 12, i 923 The Fountain of Youth for Soils "Ponce de Ledn wasted a part of his life in riotous living aud a part in seeking the Fountain of Youth. His dreams never came true. The farmers of this state have been doing th» same Miiiig in their farming operations, in hunting for some magic substance or short cut to keep up aud in crease the producing capacity of their soils. Drainage hasn't done it, good seed prolongs the agony, deep plowing is not a panacea, Crop rotations extend the end, plant food, in the form of fertiliz ers, delays the inevitable. All of theSe prescriptions are pood, even necessary^.provided there is con stantly added to the soil a new supply of decaying organic matter —and this is the Fountain of Youth for oUr soils. Without it the face is lost, and with it the limits of crop production are un bounded," says Agronomist W. F. Pate of the North Carolina Ex periment Station. * "Blessed with plenty of sun shine, and even distributor! of rainfall, a loDg growing season, a great variety of crops and .ioils, it is possible for our farmers to constantly sow crops and turn them back into the soil for larger crop yields in the future. "On account of their nature to make use of the nitrogen in the air it is best to sow legume crops. By their use more nitrogen will be added to our soils and, of course, our fertilizer bill will be lowered," he continues. Mr. Pate states that it is now too late in the season to have much success with legumes, but that cowpeas, velvet beans and soybeans may still be plantel for soil improvement. Especial y should all small grain be followed with these legumes. When they are sown in the corn at last work ing the land will improve in fer tility. If the hay is needed for cattle, the manure will again help greatly on the farm. Promoting Education ■ Charlotte Observer. The State Government at Ral eigh has apportioned the sum of $1,103,939.52 among various counties in the state in the nature of an equalization fund, tire pur pose- being to bring the more backward counties forward. There yet remains a fund of over 850,000 which is to have distribu tion later. The incident gives tokeu of educational advancement in rural North Carolina, the pro gress in system being further in- j dicated in onq item of $20,000 f">r transportation of pupils to and from the school hoi:ses in motor busses. The consolidated school and the transportation service is giving the children of the rural districts about, the same advan tages as are enjoyed by childrenl in the towns. Politics play no part in the distribution of this money. It is uoted that some of the largest Republican counties in the state have been given the larger apportionment, as, f>r in ssance, the county of Wilkes, which draws over $75,000. All counties, regardless of politics, share alike in the blessings of a home Democratic Government. Four Tons Hauled Mile For Nickel by Southern. Five cents for handling one ton of freight four miles, or four tons one mi.e, was the average received by the Southern Railway System during l'J22. Figures which have just been compiled, covering the operitions of the Southern for the year, show that 51,327,045 tons were handled au average distance of 170 52 miles. The average amount received by the Southern for hauling a ton of freight this distance was $2.24, making the receipts from carrying one ton of freight one mile 1.20 cento —equivalent to carrying one ion four miles, or four tons one mile for a nickel. These figures cover the receipts from every class of freight from sand to silk shirts and for all dis tances, from local hauls of a few miles to transcontinental ship ments and exports and imports. Holland exports $55,000,000 worth of dairy prod nets a year.

VT OVER.'. 7/ Textile Department Norlh Carolina State College During the past year the Textile Department of the State College, which is the Textile ' School. of North Carolina, has had a larger registration than in any previous year, and a larger graduating class. , To keep pace with the develop ment of the textile industry in tiie State and in the South $70,000 has been appropriated for an addition to the present Textile Building and $35,000 for additional equip ment. This will plac\i the Textile School of North Carolina in tit" front rank a*nd make it one of the best equipped schools in the coun try for instruction in cotton manufacturing. Graduates of this school are fill ing responsible positions in the mill and allied industries, such as second hands, overseers, secre taries, treasurers, machinery salsman, dye salesman, etc. During the past year several donations have been made to the Textile School, the most impor tant being two complete hun.idi fying systeins, one by Parks- Cramer Coinpan/, Ch irlotte, North Carolina, for the carding and spinning room, and one by the liahnson Company, Winstou- Sileni, North Caioiiua, for the weave room. The Whitin Ma chine Works also donated au eight head comber of the latest type. The Garden in July. F. E. .McCall, garden specialist -for the State College and Depart ment of Agriculture - wonders what has become of that garden begun so auspiciously.early in the spring. The hot weather causes many to neglect it, especially those town folks who might find it easy to buy vegetables from the corner grocery. But for the in in who is sticking to the jot) and de termined to have a supply of health giving, coot cutting yege tables all through the year, Air 1 McCall stales that good culture ! in July is more important than lever. Good culture means more i palatable vegetables because dur [ ing hot weather many Kinds will become bitter if the vegetables i are forced to quick growth how -1 ever, this will lie overcome. | Home of the things which need attention in the garden during I this mid-summer month, Mr. Mc- Call gives as follows: "Transplant tomato* for the ! early fall' garden The Stone, j Greater Baltimore aud Norton are j good for this purpose and are quite free from blight. "Bush lima beau-, the Seiva j t»ean, Henderson'* oush and Ford | hook bush are some good beau ] varieties to plant. The stringless I Green Pod i» the best of the bush ■ snap beans. I "Seedlings of the Cos lettuce may be made now and again late in July. Turnips may also be sown for the early fal? garden.' It is said that two-thirds of the entire coffee supply of the world is shipped out of the port of San tos, Brazil. MANY THOUSANDS LOSS IN BUREAU OF ENGRAVING Four Times Greater Uuder New Re- Rime Than All Before. It. li s cost the Federal Govern*! men! 8442 J'>2 a day in losses ofj negotiable hccuritie* during the first 427 dajs ihe Bureau of En-J graving and I'l iuiing qt Washing- j ton has been in charge of the Re-! publican politicians President] Harding ■substituted for the! honest, faithful and efficient- ofti-> cials and employes ho ruthlessly ! dismissed from their positions on I March :(l, 1922. Operatives of the Secret Service have been at work for several Weeks trying to locate Bl!l4,iio in I negotiable bonds \v Inch have mys teriously disappeared from the! Bureau, but 'heir efforts have been without result. The Gov-1 erumeut's detectives were con ducting for $101,000! in farm loan bonds missed from | the surface division of the Bureau | some two months ago when the second lot. of. $:»;},000 vanished' without, any clue. In addition to the actual loss of ihis aggregate of $200,000 of negotiable seenr-i iti«'s, the Government has been compelled io pay SO,OCO for waxed ! imper which lias been found use-j less. , Tin so lossi h are four times j greater in amount than all that ever have occurred in the history of tin* Bureau, now more than I two generations old. At the time President Harding dismissed the twenty-eight ofti-* ciais and employes of the Bureau , he declared that their removal was "for the good of the service" |" and left the impression that they were suspected of wrong-doing. I When they and members of Con-! gress pressed for an investigation, i he Treasury Department and the j Department of Justice conducted) inquiries which completely ex onerated the victims of Republi- j can politics, bul lie refused to ro instate them in their former posi-j t ions. It was announced that the Re-! publican pofiticiaus to whom the! printing of the Government's cur-! rency and securities have beerp entrusted would inaugurate "effl-j in the Bureau. The facts i now show that ilieir regime hasj been the most incompetent and j costly over tolerated by any ad-1 ministration. But they .'remain on the . job because Republican political leaders' have converted the Bureau into a part of the Re- I publican national "machine." j One official of the new "efficion-i cy" regime, promoted on the rec-! oniniendation of Congressman Nick Loiigwoith of Ohio, has been] suspended. The Farm Program Gastonia Gazette. Two thousand two hundred North Carolina farmers have signed a pledge to adhere strictly j to certain fundamental things in i successful farming in 1923. Ten provisions are enumerated | an 1 these ten provisions make a j mighty fine schedule for almost 1 any fanner anywhere to follow. They are: 1. Raise enough "orn and hay to carry me through 1!>24. 2. Raise enough meat to sup-1 ply m.v family this year. Have a twolve-niouths-in-! the-year garden. ■1 Provide milk and butter for family the whole year. o. Keep -.in average of tliisty hens on t lie farm. Improve orchard by setting out trees abd berries. - ! 7. Plant legumes and other soil-enriching crops. ft. Enroll at least one child in club work. 'J. Add some home conven ience. 10. Beautify the homestead. , This is a good program. It was drawn up by-a man who knows farming and who thinks. There is probably no community iu the south where the same program if would not prove profit able. If the 2,200 North Carolina farmers who have signed the agreement will live up to it they will ba far ahead of their less far-sighted neighbors in a few ■years. China has more than 1.«X(0,001* lepclS. TESTING STRESS ON PLANES "Accelerometer" Registers Informa tion of Value to Builder, as Well as Showing Pilot's* Ability. Not long ttKo the national advisory committee for aerorm'utlcs undertook to obtuln information about the i stresses that are produced In ma- j neuvering an airplane. At tjie begin- j nlng of a ijpries of experiments It was observed that, when the plane was flying a straight and level course, a spring balance with a one-pound | weight attached to.lt would 'register! just one pound. If the craft was put > Into a turn or made to rise, the ap- j parent weight of the one-pound object' Increased to two or three pounds, ] while on ft downward dip the spring: balance would Indicate less tlym one: pound or even zero. Based upon the' conclusions of these tests, an instru- i rnent, which has been called an "ac celerometer,'.' wus designed, to detect j and record the variation and relative magnitude of the forces that tend to | set up stresses In nn airplane struc- i ture when in (light. In doing this, i says Popular Mechanics Magaalne, It also gives an unbiased record of the; relative ability of pilots In handling] their machines In the air, and iu mak-| lng a satisfactory landing. Kihg Tut's Discoveries. Mr. Howard Carter, the American archaeological expert, who recently! uncovered for the late Lord Carnarvon the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen In the Val-j ley of the Kings, is no amateur, but a j graduate of tfie school of experience,! In 1903 he was inspector general rl the antiquities of upper Egypt and! was entrusted by Mr. Theodore Da vies, a wealthy patron of archaeology, with the direction of some excavations that disclosed the tomb of Thutmose 111. In the same year the tomb ol ; Queen Hatshepßut was cleared out by him on a Davles' endowment. Under a Davles' commission, Mr. Carter dls-' covered the last resting place of Queen ! Tl, mother of King Akhnaton, prede l cessor of Tut-Ankh-Amen. He gave up his government post Jn 1004 to prosecute his recent search. Schools in Philippines. The Philippine Islands have a total of 8,174 schools, public and private, ! with an approximate enrollment of 1,100,000, uecording to the bureau of educatKm and the superintendent of | private schools. It Is estimated tlyit the Philippines have a population of 2,500,000 children of school age. Public schools alone number 7,041' and attendance reached a total of 1,004,472 during the last year, while private schools number 582 and have j an enrollment of 64,835. Eighty-five per cent of the private schools In the Philippines are religious Institutions, and only 15 per cent sec- j ulur. Seventy-seven per cent of the re ligious private schools are Catholic,! while the remaining 8 per cent are Protestant. The public school system. In which English Is taught, Includes 24,878 teach ers, 341 of whom are Americans. The Real Divorce Reason. One of these solemn statistical re searches Into the divorce qilestlon has, been completed back East, and the re searchers have announced with proper linpresslveness the result of their In-: qulry. They*announce eight principal reasons for the prevailing Instability of marriage, Otle reason Is: "Failure of contracting parties to | regard properly the solemn bonds of matrimony." • The other seven reasons don't mat ter. All divorce researches so far have been. In a sense, failures. That is, j none of them has yet discovered that 35 per cent of all divorces result from refusal of the party of the second part I to appreciate properly {he humorous anecdotes told by the party of the first port —Spokane Spokesman-Ilevlew. Martin Luther's Wedding Ring. The London library Is adding to Its: Luther exhibition a ring which ap pears to be Martin Luther's wedding! ring. The ring forms an entire cross, j on which,a figure of the Savior, over whose head a large ruby cross Is set, serving as a nimbus. Above oh a' label are the letters "I N It I," and emblems of the crucifixion are con tinued round the ring. On the Inside Is engtaved the Inscription, "D. Mar tlno Luthero, Catharlnn Borgp, 13 Jun 1525," the date of Luther's mar riage. Moral Struggles Revealed. You cannot hide the marks of your moral struggles. You wear them In the wrinkles of your face. , Every thought has a combination of wrin kles all Its own. Wrinkles are habits of the skin. As surely as you think thoughts, just so Inevitably will their wrinkles show In your face. If you habitually conquer obstucles, there will be no mistaking the fact In your counteaance; but If you often yield to forces aboat you, rest assured that whoever looks Into your face can read the fact* NO. 23 Trends in Agriculture. The new bulletin of Agricul i tural Graphics for North Carolina and the United States, 1866 to j 1922, by Miss Henrietta R Smedes of the department of Rural Social | Econo nicsat the State University, >; of which advance notice was I niveu some time ago, will be com ing from the press at an early date. It will be sent promptly on issue to all who have already asked for it. therefore requests already forwarded should not be | duplicated. , Others who desire i copies should apply at once, as x the edition is small. It is the design of this bulletin to give adequate graphic treat i merit to some important phasi s of our agricultural situation, and : to the extent that this effort is successful it, should be not only of special value just now, in a tiineof'agricultural and industrial changes and adjustments, but also sofeuduring value as a historical i record. Agricultural Graphite is based on government siaiislics, which lit presents iu readil. intelligible form. It consists of (!) a brief narrative of interpretation, (2) tables iu detail, and (3) graphs for each crop and each class of farm aiTiiuals included. It will- free of charge to all North Carolinians who want it and ask for it. Application should be made to J. D. Snoli, Director of the University Ei tension Di vision, Chapel Hill, N. (5.
