GRAHAM, N. C., JUNE 30, 1927.
PLANES CROSSING OCEANS.
On Tuesday at 7:09 a. 111.
Lieuts. Maitland and Hegenberger
hopped oft from Oakland, Calif.,
for Honolulu. At 8:52 a. m.
Wednesday they landed safely in
Oahu, Hawaiian island, crossing
the Pacific in 25 hours and 43
minutes. ,
Wednesday morning, Com
mander Byrd, after waiting more
than ten days for favorable wea
ther, hopped off at 5:24 for Paris,
where he will land this afternoon
on the same field on which Col.
Lindbergh landed, over a month
ago. Byrd had three companions.
PASTURES AND LIVE STOCK.
With These, Hillsides Can be Saved,
More Profits Realized and Newlin
Township Made a Beauty Spot,
Says Mr. Dixon.
I have just had the pleasure of
seeing practically every farm in
Newlin township. I have long be
lieved that Southern Alamance had
wonderful possibilities for live
stock growing and my recent trip
has confirmed my former belief.
The possibilites are here. Nearly
every farm is well watered and has
ideal land for pasture and then
enough acres left for cultivation of
all needed farm crops, hut I did not
find the live stock on very many
farms.
As I rode along and saw acres
and acres of hillsides that would
make ideal pasture land being cul
tivated and washed away, how I did
wish that these owners could see
how much better, it would be for
them, if these steep hillsides could
be put in pasture grasses. How
quickly those barren spots would
set over in green and erosion stop.
What a beautiful country this would
be if all these rugged hillsides were
set in grass and you could see from
half a dozen to two dozen head of
good dairy or beef cattle along with
a few sheep and hogs on the greater
part of these farms.
How quickly, too, would you see
better corn, cotton and other crops
from the manure of the live stock.
Yes, sir, the possibilities for live
stock growing in Newlin township
is great, and I am glad to see that
some farmers are realizing this.
The opportunity is also here. There
is a market for cream, whole milk,
beef, mutton and pork. Further
more, we must realize that the old
type of farming is changing. We
can no longer hope to make money
from selling grain and we all realize
that cotton and tobacco acreage is
too large. Then, why not seed down
these old hillsides to grass and cut
out a part of the cotton and tobacco
and make Old Newlin township a
live stock section and one of the
beauty spots of North Carolina.
It can be done.

Southwest Alamance
Mrs. H. D. Foster and H. D.,
Jr., of Qreeusboro are spending a
few days with J. R. Foster's fam
ily.
So many people visit the Mt.
Ziou Cemetery from a distance
and find it in a bad shape, all
grown over in weeds and briars,
when jast a few hours work would
keep it in fine shape, if those in
the community would take more
interest and remember that some
were buried there a century ago
with no relatives to look after the
graves. For the sake of humani
ty they should be fixed up. It is
not because people don't want a
well keptcemetery, but just a lit
tle carelessness and neglect. If
somedne would say* "come help
do the work,'' I think it would be
done.
Mexican bean beetles are des
troying the bean crop in piedmont
and western Carolina. Dusting
with poisons like calcium arsenate
will control the pests.
Jnne showers have aided Tar
heel farmers to get in good acre
age to cowpeas, soybeans and
' sorghum for hay and soil improv
meat.
European grapes will surpass
the peach crop as a profit-maker
for the Sandhill farmer, say some
?nthusiaste.
THE MORTGAGE ON THE FARM
I! to Increase Efficiency and Produc
tivity, it is Good Business?If to
Buy Luxuries and Consumptive
Goods, it is Unwise.
Speaking of farm mortgages
the News Letter, after going into
the matter thoroughly, says that
the 1925 Census of Agriculture
shows that relatively few North
Caroliua farms are mortgaged.
Of our 132,010 farms operated by
full owners only 24,983, or 18-8
percent, were mortgaged. In oirly
two states are the ratios of inort
gaged farms lower than in North
Carolina,?Virginia 18.0 percent,
and West Virginia 11.9 percent.
For the United States slightly
more than one-third of all farms
operated by full owners are mort
I gaged.
Whether or not a large percent
of mortgaged farms is good or bad
depends entirely upon the nature
of the debt secured by the mort
gage. A farmer who goes in debt
to increase the earning power of
his farm does just what other
properly conducted businessess
do. It is just as good business
for a farmer to us'i borrowed cap
ital as it is for a railroad, or a
I factory or for local, state, an(1
national governments. The
farmer who mortgages his farm
in order to buy luxuries aud con
sumptive goods is acting unwisely,
of course, and such practices
should be discouraged. Many
farms are mortgaged during peri
ods of depression in agriculture,
and this is unfortunate. Hut to
incur debt in order to make the
I farm more efficient as a producing
unit is good business.
I What Ratios Are High
It is interesting to note that the
ratio of mortgaged farms is usual
ly high where farmers are wealthy
and prosporous and low where
I farmers are poor. The farmers
of Denmark are conceded to be
among the most prosperous in the
world, yet their farm debt is ap
palling. The debt has been in
curred to make agriculture more
productive and the farm more
efficient. The Danes operate |
largely on borrowed capital, and
much of their prosperity is due
to their wise use of this borrowed
capital.
The ratio of mortgaged farms is
high in such states as California,
Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Ne
braska,and Wisconsin, and lowest
in West Virginia, Virginia, North
I Carolina, Florida, Vermont, and
I Tennessee. The low percent of
mortgaged farms in the South is
due largely to the fact that mort
I gage houses have not considered
Southern farms good risks.
It is a mistake to infer that a
low ratio of mortgaged farms is a
healthy or favorable sign. The
I business of the world today is
I conducted on credit. Credit may
be used wisely or unwisely, by
Ifarmers as well as other groups.
The wise use of credit is as good'
business for the farmer as it is for
I the factory operator. But it must
I be used wisely, and too often the
I mortgaged farm is not the result
of a productive investment. Few
North Carolina farms are mort
gaged, either for consumptive or
productive purposes.
Small gavels made from timbers
taken from the White House were
presented to the four club mem
bers from North Carolina who at
tended the National Club En
campment last week. The gftvels
are to be retained in the families
of those who received them.
The county agents of State Col
lege have shipped over 300 solid
cars of properly fed hogs to east
ern markets this spring and have
helped to bring thonsauds of dol
lars in new money for poultry
shipments.
A bank at Alarshville in Uuion
county offers to finance CO per
cent of the purchase price of a
good cow for any farmer patron
of good character. The notes
may be paid in one and two years.
W. D. Graham and E. A. Stev
ens now take thfeir place along
with B. F. Shelton, R. W. Scott,
R. L. Shuford and G. W. Lathan
as the leading farmers of-North
Carolina.
Tom Tarheel says he looks on
his cows, chickens, and hogs as a
market for his extra grain and
feedstuffs. In this way, he sells
the material at a good profit.
A. E. Allen, a successful poul
tryman of Cary in Wake county,
raised 1,186 broilers to the age of
five weeks with the loss of only
14 chicks.
Cultivate the tobacco on a ridge
for best quality of weed. The
roots need air and drainage.
Nearly all the foods nqeded for
a well selected diet may be pro.
iduced on the home farm.
Fertilizer Demonstration
With Corn?Five Plots.
"Our fertilizer demonstration
with corn," stated Prof. Bason of
Friendship High School today,
"consists of five tenth-acre plots.
This demonstration is three miles
out of Burlington, located on the
right side of the road going from
Burlington to Bellemont, on Mr.
Norman Capps' farm.
"The plots are numbered from
right-to-left when standing in the
road facing the demonstration. The
fertilization of the plots is as follows:
Plot, one: 200 lbs. of S-2-4, all
applied before planting. In addi
tion to the aboye, a side-dressing of
soda will be applied later. This
fertilizing scheme is practiced by
many farmers of our community.
Plot two: 200 lbs. Nitrate of Soda
applied when the corn is from knee
to thigh high.
Plot three: Check?no fertilizer
is applied to this plot.
Plot four: 200 lbs. 10 percent
Acid Phosphate, 25 lbs. Muriate of
Potash and 110 lbs. Nitrate of Soda.
The Acid and Potash is applied be
fore planting. The Soda is applied
when corn is knee to thigh high.
Plot five:, .200 lbs. Acid Phos
phate, 25 lbs. Muriate of Potash and
200 lbs. Nitrate of Soda. In this
plot the Acid and Potash is applied
before planting and the Soda when
corn is knee to thigh high.
"This demonstration," Professor
Bason stated, "will show four
.1 ?
I lungs:
First: Influence of fertilizer in all
plots on yield.
Second: Whether or not our
farmers are using the best kind and
amount of fertilizer under their corn.
(A comparison of yields in plot one
with plots two, four and five.)
Third: To what extent phosphor
ous and potash increase the yield
when applied in addition to nitro
gen. (A comparison of plot two
with four and five.)
Fourth: Whether the yield can
be profitably increased by using
more Nitrate of Soda. (A compari
son of plot four with plot five.)
"The corn plant requires large
amount of nitrogen and the yield is
usually in proportion to the amount
of nitrogen available to the plant.
More corn can be made on our soils,
it seems, when the plant is from
knee to thigh high, especially if the
nitrogen is quick acting and readily
available.
"Your attention is called to the
location of this demonstration," Pro
fessor Bason stated, "so that all in
terested may study it as the season
advances. Signs will be erected on
each plot to indicate the kind and
amount of fertilizer applied."
This demonstration is being con
ducted by Mr. Norman Capps, under
the direction of ProfeSsor Bason.
Program Prepared for
Club Short Course.
Programs for the annual boys
and girls club week, July 11 to
16, have been prepared and plans
are being made to entertain be
tween 500 and 700 young visitors
at State College during the short
course.
According to L. R. Harrill, club
leader, and Miss Maude Wallace,
assistant state home demonstra
tion agent, many of these boys
and girls are coming to the college
with their expenses paid, either
partly or entirely by various busi
ness concerns and other organi
zations who want to reward out
standing boys and girls. In a
number of instances the club at
home is paying the expenses of its
delegate. Money was raised by
various methods during the past
year to send a representative to
the short course. Those who
coine are club leaders aud are the
cream of the work in North Caro
lina.
For five dajs, these boys and
girls will have a continuous round
of study, demonstration, recrea
tiou and social life at all times
carefully supervised by the facul
ty which is composed of the ex
tension specialists, district and
county agents from over the
State. ' The boys will take courses
in livestock, farm crops, poultry,
forestry and club recreation. The
studies in forestry aud recreation
will be new. R. W. Qraeber, ex
tension forester, has been secured
to teach the forestry project while
John Bradford of the National
Playground Association of Ameri
ca will teach the classes in recrea
tion. This project will be given
to only the most advanced club
members so that they might be
able to serve as leaders at club
encampments aud other gather
ings.
The girls will take work in
foods, clothing, room improve-|
ment, recreation and poultry.
There will be vesper services
on the campus lawn each evening
and sightseeing over Raleigh un
der the capable leadership of Col.
Fred A- Olds.
