VOL. XLIX THE ISSUES FOR 1924. President Coolidge Promises to Carry Out Mr. Harding's Policies, Heuce the Same Issues. Washington Correspondence. The change in the office of Chief Executive does not change tho fact that the Presiden'ial campaign of 1924 will be fought out on questions of party policy. One of the first announcements of President Coolidge was that he would carry out the policies of President Harding, and he gave the best evidence possible that he intends to do so by retaining the full membership of President Harding's Cibinet. President Coolidge therefore should have full credit for complete sincerity in making this promise. The is "~sues of 1924, in view of this promise, remain unchanged, how ever they may be supplemented by issues raised by the new Presi dent. "What 'will be the issues in 1924?" is a question often asked. The most specific and comprehen sive answer so far has been made by Cordell Hull, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Chairman' Hull says: "All the live and mental issues of 1924 cannot now be forecasted, eitlier in genoral or in detail, both on account of changing conditions and of the ability of the party in power to make and unmake some issues by acts of omission and commission. All pressing and vital issues materially affecting the welfare of the people, or of most of them, should be kept abreast of each other. The next Democratic National Convention aloue can define the issues for Democrats. From present-day opinion and discussion, however, the following may be pointed to as the more imj>ortant is sues of the present and the im mediate future, without reference to the order of their importance: "The demonstrated failure of the Republican administration, dominated by the Old Guard at all times, which has been aimless, instable, and unable either to understand or to solve most of tho acute domestic and inter national problems. "The broken Republican plat form pledge to reduce the high cost of living and to prosecute the profiteers. "The Fordney-McCumber tariff law, already costing the people four billiou dollars a year in ex cessive and extortionate prices. "Special privilege in its many other aggravated forms,as prompt ed by the Repub lican administration. "The practical application of the principle of international co operation, embracing the essen- and fundamentals of the for eign policies of the recent Demo cratic administration, to existing conditions, contrasted with the humiliating failure of the Republi can administration to deal de cisively with any important phqpe of foreign affairs. "A constructive patriotic mer chant marine policy as against the proposed $750,000,000 ship subsidy. "A sound and humane indus trial policy to solve industrial problems,—to insure full and equal justice to labor and capital, and to sustain their peaceful rela tions —in contrast with hopeless Republican failure during tho past two years. "Relief in transportation and tansportation costs. "A more progressive and con structive remedy for the desperate conditio* of agriculture, especi ally as it relates to transporta tion and distribution, and foreign markets. "Speedy and equitable tax re duction—Federal, Suite and local —accompanied by rigid economy. "States rights and local self government in matters purely local in their nature. "Honesty and efficiency in the public service, contrasted wiih corruption and almost anarchy in a number of Government depart ments. "Republican betrayal of the Civil Service. "A much higher standard of Tin: ALAMANCE GLEANER. public and political morals in contrast with Newberryism and Daughertyisni. "Application of the great body of intelligent, sound, liberal, and progressive sentiment to th«* prompt solution of conditions and problems affecting the commer cial, economic, industrial and social welfare of the people. "The adoption of sound, eco nomic and trade policies, domes tic and foreign, in contrast with existing wholly unsound policies, or none at all, of the Republican administration." Lime Pays in Union County. The use of lime and legumeSjn improving the fertility of p'obr soils in Union count}' has no more ardent supporter than County Agent J. YV. Broom. Mr. Broom has worked long and consistently for better soils, more cows, more pastures and more legume crops in his county. He tells a story about the effect of lime and le gumes on the farm of G, S. Lee, near Monroe. Here is the story exactly as it comes from him: "It is marvelous to see the effect of lime on the growing of red clover. At Mr. G. S. Lee's farm lime has worked wonders. Mr. Lee had tne go over his farm with him and see the acres and acres of red clover that was grow ing ou land which threa years ago was as poor as any land in the county. Mr. Lee acted upon our advice and bought a car of lime three years ago and applied two tons per acre on a twenty acre field. He sowed part of the field to oats and red clover, the other part was sown to oats with lespe deza put on part of it in February, the other part was planted to cow peas, the peas picked and the vines left on the land. The les pedeza was cut for hay and yield el two tons per acre. The peas land and the lespedeza land was prepared and sowed to oats and red clover last fall. The oats on the lespedeza land were about Bix inches higher than on the pea land and the red clover was look ing better. However, a good stand of clover was on both plots. Mr. Lee estimated that he would get 100 loads of hay from the 20 acres at this cutting. "Mr. Lee is so well pleased with his experience with lime that he bought two csrs last fall, and will buy another car this fall. Mr. Lee sowed 50 bushels of lespedeza this ,spring, and is very enthusi astic over it as a soil builder and forage crop. He has adopted the practice of sowing lespedeza with red clover in order* to thicken up the thin places that may occur in the red fields. Where the red clover is thiu the lespedeza is thick. We have tried this method out on our farm and find that it works well. Mr. Lee says that there is uo excuse for any farmer farming on poor laud if he will apply lime and give rod clover and lespedeza a chance." Good Pasture and Water j Will Keep Sheep Healthy. Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 4.—"Grub in head is not a serious sheep trouble in North Carolina," says G. P. Williams, Sheep Field Agent for the State College and Depart ment of Agriculture. "Shortage of feed and water and keeping sheep to old age is more often the cause of low vitality and death when grubs haVe been blamed for such conditions. Keeping the animals on small pastures and close-cropped grass results in a multiplication of stomach worms in the sheep sometimes, and the owner mistakenly thinks they have died of grub in the head. With ample shade and water in summer and a satisfactory crop of grass at all timesi, practically no losses will occur from grub in the head." Irish potatoes from home grown mountain seed were trom 7 to 10 days earlier than those from Maine and Canadian seed, and the yield was equally as good, as shown by report* from the Tide water counties. A value of S3OO was put on the ten tons of hay which' one farmer cot from a aix-aoredemonstration plot in-Pasquotank.^He says the hay paid all expenses of putting out the pasture. GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 6,1923 CO-OPS TO GREET SENATOR SMITH Farm Bloc Leader Will Address the Organized Tobacco Farmers at Danville and Henderson. United States Senator E. D. Smith of South Carolina, famous as a founder of the farm Woe at Washington and as an advocate of cooperative marketing, will ad dress what promise to be the record meetings of this year at D;mville on Wednesday, Septem ber 12,ind at Henderson ou Thurs day, September 13. cotintiesftavo been called to mobil ize next week and huge meetings are looked for whicii ave expected to rival the celebration of East ern Caro.ina tobacco growers in Pitt county last week. Senator Smith will bo welcomed by the Virginia growers at the Tarbernacle* the largest assembly hall of Danville. The North Carolina growers will welcome him in their own association ware house at Henderson. Since the recent speeches of Souator Smith to thousands of South Carolina growers the asso ciation has had a landsjido of to bacco and new members in the Palmetto State. The Tobacco Growers' Coopera tive Association received 5,>00,- 000 poundsof tobacco in the S'>uth Carolina belt last week, which brings the deliveries of the organ ized farmers to their association to date, well over half of the total recmpts for last year in South Carolina and the border couuties. Contracts by the hundreds and tobacco by the millions of pounds are pouring into the association every week. In Eastern North Carolina fifteen thousand people attended mass->meetings last week at 31 co operative markets when nine directors of the association and other speakers met with the mem ber stockholders of the nation's largest cooperative marketing as sociation. The earnest support of their as sociation by Eastern Carolina members was evident *in the crowd of tobacco growers who l'-ft their urgent harvesting and cur ing of a bumper crop to hear and applaud their elected leaders at every important market of the East. Between fivo and teu thousand farmers attended the record breaking barbecue mass meeting in Pitt County, hold at Ayden on August 3lst and gave the most enthusiastic demonstration in favor of the Tobacc > Growers Co operative Association yet seen in Eastern Carolina. The mooting proved a celebration on the recent sweeping victory of the coops iu the Pitt County court at Green ville. Other largo meetiugs were held at lvinston, Neiv Beru, Wash ington, Goldboro, Smithfield, Nashville, and Richlands. President Geo, A. Norwood, of tho association, Senator Joseph Brown of Columbus county, Judge S. F. Austin of Nash county, Dr. J. Y. Joyner and every director from the Eastern Belt with Direc tors E. C. Epps and Thos. B. Yonng from South Carolina were applauded at the meetings which resulted at many places in resolu tions commending and supporting the Association' The unquest : oued benefit of tho association to all tobacco farmers of the Carolinus by maintaining good prices for 1923 tobacco was made clear at llitse meetiugs. The salaries of association olieials were discussed and the members learned that their highest paid officers are receiving less than men who direct the handling of half as much tobacco as the mar keting association receives each year. Directors from the South Carolina belt predict that the as sociation will double iti receipts of last year in their territory. 10,000 girls are enrolled in the home demonstration clubs, aud 26,000 girls and women are enroll ed in the demonstration clubs and community clubs organized by the home demonstration work ers of the North Caroliua State College and Department of Agri culture. 'Lime is an ever present help around the farm as an aid to sani tation, and in helping to improve the soil also.

"Go to the circus?" asked the cashier of the bank of Fentonville as he dropped back in the barber's chair for his Saturday afternoon shave. "Yeah; 1 went a little while last night after I closed up. Some Circus.!" "Some circus is right," said the banker, "and it was some adver tising stunt we pulled. You saw our big sign and heard the ring master tell about our bank, didn't you?" "Yeah; I saw the sign and heard the spiel. Wouldn't have' thought of it again though if you [ hadn't mentioned it." "Pretty clever stunt we call j it," was the banker's reply. "Yeah; cleaver for the announ- '' per and sign painter. What did j jit cost yon?" the barber asked 1 sharply. t i The question popped out so un- ! expectedly that for once tho bank- 1 er told the bank's business andj admitted proudly that the expense 1 1 had been SI 12. j 1 "Say you! Listen to me!" bawl- j 1 ed the barber, as he swung his ] lather brush across his patron's I face and shut off anything he might have said further. "That; guy paid Bla for tho sign and got a hundred for shouting three minutes twice a day. He does 1 that six times a week because he 1 finds one iu every towu. Iu the seasou he in tkos more than your | bank does. You call that adver tising? You got an idea folks at; the circus bring any money to ] 1 your bauk because of a spiel at a three-riug circus?

C., Sept. 4.—'"One i reason why beekeepers have weak colonies in spring and suffer a re duced houey flow is because they take the honey too close before the bet's go into winter quarters," says C. L. Sains, Specialist in Beekeeping for the State College and Department of Agriculture. "Don't take the houey so close as to starve the bees during winter, if you would have strong colonies the following spring. I recently heard a prominent beekeeper in this State boast of the fact that he took 90 pounds of honev from each of his co onies. Unless 'his fbees have au opportunity to And flowers between now and cold weitther, they* will probably go | through the winter iu a starved condition." Mr. Sains states that the least amount of houey that a colony should have for winter is flften pounds and if there is a scarcity of stores, the queen bBCTWiII slow up laviug. This would? result in only old bees and a small number jof young ones iu th*s colony in spring. It is ouly those worker bees which are raised after Au gust 15 which live through the winter, and so it is important that the queen does not let up in her laying activity. Mr. Sams says that iu a normal colony, it' there are pleutv of stores and a young qileeu, the bees should pass the winter safely. He makes another point in that he has found a number of colonies ■ this year with drone combs in tae center of the worker combs. These should be pusned to one side or removed if possible. Under no conditions should they be al lowed to stay in the ceuter of tae worker combs. To permit them to do so will greatly weaken the colony next spring, think* Mr. Sams.
