THE GLEANER IBBDKD IYEBY THORflDAT. X J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Entered at the Postoffloe at Graham. N. C.. ai aeooud-olasa matter. GRAHAM, N. 0., MAY 31, 1928. The Primary Saturday.' ? In this county there are no con tests to be run off for Republican nominees for county offices, nor for State offices either. The primary Saturday will be purely a Democratic show. Can didates for two State offices will be voted for, namely, Lieut.-Gov ernor and Commissioner of Labor and Printing. The candidates for Liieut.-Gov ernor are W. H. S. Burgwyn, R. T. Fountain and John D. Langs ton; and for Commiaaioner of La bor and Printing, M. L. Sbipman, Frank D. Grist and Oscar J. Peterson. For county offices, candidates for Judge of the General County Court and County Commissioners will be voted for. For Judge there are two candi dates: Hon. W. H. Carroll and Judge D. J. Walker. For County Commissioners there are nine candidates: James Guthrie, Clarence E. Fogleman, W. 0. Warren, H. Frank Mitch ell, S. II. Webb, Ed. L. Boswell, Walter H. Stockard, W. J. Crutch field and R. N. Cook. Of these the voter will mark five as hjs or her choice, and it has been agreed among the candidates, as we are informed, that the five re ceiving the highest number of votes shall be the nominees. No Second County Commissioner Primary Jim Guthrie, one of the nine Democratic candidates for county commissioner to be voted on for the nomination in the primary to be held Saturday, makes the proposition that the five receiving the highest number of votes shall be declared the nominees. This proposition is made in the inter est of economy. Now let the others meet his proposition, and a second primary will be eliminat ed, even though the five leading candidates do not receive a ma jority of the votes cast in the pri mary next Saturday, and the trouble and costs of a second pri mary will be cut oat in any event. Later?It is learned from Dr. Will S. Long, chairman of the County Board of Elections that the other candidates for county commissioners have agreed to Mr. Guthrie's proposition; so the five receiving the highest number of Votes will be the nominees and there will be no second primary. The result of the preclnet meet ings held lsst Saturday la an un known quantity. They named delegates to -the county conven tion, which in turn will name del egates to the State convention. So that any boast that this or that candidate is in the lead is as yet pure guess work in large measure. It is different, however, in differ ent localities.

In part he "Two hundred ancUorty-six years ago there came to America a man In whose soul burned the fires of civil and religious liberty. Devoted to his God, too proud in spirit to oow to the intolerance of old-world religious bigotry, he settled on the shore of the Delaware and there es tablished the family whose name we honor today. One hundred and twenty eight years ago loving hands laid to rest in this grave the descendant of that immigrant to the shores of America .k ??me to America 10 what was men Orange county, to old Ala maoce with the same religious zeal and enthusiasm that fired the hearts or his forefathers. He was of French stock. In the sixteenth century the French King granted to his subjects the Hugue nots the right to worship their God in weir own way, and in accordance r\ th? dictates of their own hearts. This act of his was known as the Edict of Nantes. In the seventeenth ceuturv this Edict was revoked, with the result that thousands of French Protest ants lied the country to escape the persecution that was meted out to all who would not yield to the dic tates of the rulers of the kingdom, and the then Established Church. Such was the character of the men who came to America for freedom's arte, literally for Christ's sake, tney and their children formed the backbone of what was to become the grttitoat of Republics. They cut the trails through the wi derneas and built their homes, and their churches upon the princi ij ^ Unto God' and 0od alone would they bend the. knee and rem aer their allegiance.

Lime under soybeans will not onl/ increase the yield of hay when the crop is cut from the land, bnt when the soybeans are turned under for soil improve ment, the yield of corn followiug is also materially increased. For two years, H. E. White, county scent in Surry county, working with one of his local banks, has conducted a number of soil building tests with some of his best farmers. These demon strations had for their purpose to show the effect of liming on soy beans and the injurious effect of removing the vines when the land was to be planted to corn. Lime was used at the rate of one ton per acre on some plots and no lime was used on the other plots. Fonr hundred pounds of an 8-3-3 fertiliser was used uuder the crops. As a result of his tests, Mr. White states that in plot one where no lime was used, the soy beans produced 5040 pounds ol hay per acre. The following yeai an average of 11.6 bushels of corn i was produoed on the same land. , On plot two where the soybeans i were limed and cut for hay, 606C ? pounds was produced and the fol j per acre was made on this land. On plot three where the land was limed and the soybeans turned under tor soil improvement, an average of 30.9 bushels of corn per acre was secured. On plot fogr, where the unlimed soybeans wero .turned under, ouly 22.6 bushels of corn per acre was pro duced. "It will bo seen from this," said Mr. White, '?thift lime increases the yield in hay 1040 pounds, or enough to pay for the cost of the lime and a small profit in addition. The yield of corn the followihg year was also increased. Where she soil was limed aud the beans turned under, there was a sub stantial and profitable increase in the Corn yield. We used Laredo soybeaus and Southorn Beauty corn in these demoustra tions. Both years were unusually dry and the soil type was the Cecil Sandy Loam." State's First Farmer * Gives Cotton Advice Cotton farmers in North Caro lina may ftud it advantageous to follow suggestions used by cotton growers of Cleveland county, one of the leading farming counties of the South. "While talking with Honorable 0. Max Gardner, unopposed Democratic nominee for Governor of North Carolina and one of the leading farmers of this section, he made some excellent suggestions about.producing a crop of cotton this year," says Alvin Harden, county agent of Cleveland. "In Mr. Gardner's opinion, the grow er should do four important things. He must stir his laud as fast as the cotton comes up. This will break the crust of packed soil, will enable the cotton to grow faster, will keep down weed aud grass and will conserve moisture. Second, the thinning or chopping should be done as quickly as pos sible after the cotton comes up to a stand. Third, side applications of nitrate of soda or some such quick-acting source Of nitrogen should be used immediately after chopping. ? Fourth, the side-ap plications might be divided into two parts, one applied immedi ately after chopping and the other about July first." Those who know Mr. Gardener know of hie interest in the rural life of the State. His own farm is a model of efficiency aud through his leadership, Cleveland county has become one of the most prosperous fanning commu nities of the State. ( The suggestions made by Mt. Gardner are therefore of great importance at this time. yVhile the agricultural workers at State College do not ad vocate the late aide application, this may be used to advantage if the cotton is to be protected by dusting for con trol of the boll weevil. Mineral Food Needed by Dairy Cow. The ordinary old scmb cow needed little, mineral in her diet because she could get enough from the natural food consumed; but, the cow^ found in North Carolina today is a highly specialized milk producing machine and since milk is rich in mineral salts, it is necessary to add these materials to her food supply. "Fortunately," says John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist at State College, "the feeds grown in North Carolina are deficient iu only fonr of the minerals most needed. These are sodium, chlorine, calcium and phosphor us. These essential minerals can be supplied in an inexpensive form by using common Bait, finely ground limestone and odorless steamed bone meal. There is no advantage in buying and feeding complex mineral mixtures because some of these contain a number of unimportant mineral elements which are not needed by the cow aud sometimes cause injurious ef fects." Mr. Arey states that comuiou salt furnishes both sodium and chlorine, and can be mixed with the grain at the rate of oue pound of salt to each ten ponnds of the grain. In addition, salt thouhl be placed in the stables or pasture so that the cattle may have free access to it at all times. The practice of salting at inter vals of one or two weeks is not recommended, he states. v The need for calcium and phos phorus is apparent when one real 1 izes that 85 percent of the skele ton is composed of these two ele , ments. Also fifty percent of the i minerals in the milk is composed ? of the same two elements. Both ' are essential for growth reproduc 1 tion of young and production of > milk. They are generally de fioient in the feed ration and if i not supplied, the cow will draw I on her own skeleton for" a supply ? and thus develop a case of weak The Progress of Dairy Cows in Eli Whitney Community. ? I In 1915, in what is now called Eli' Whitney Community, we. had no purebred cows. No thought was given, such a thing, in fact we had very few good milk cows; what we did have were fed with food which was not fit for the horse and pastur ed where there was no grass. No care was given therri, except to milk and turn them out id the pasture to make their own way. But in 1921 a few people began thinking about purebred cows. Six men of the community bought pure bred Jersey calves. Since then great improvement has been made. In the past year, by the aid of Mr. Kerr. Scott, our coun ty agent, we have an Eli Whitney community calf club with thirty one members, each member has a pure bred Jersey calf. We had a calf show at Whitney last fall. We had a fine show; some of the winners were taken to the Mebane Fair and won several prizes there. We have one hundred five pure bred cows in Eli Whitney commun ity, but that is not all the improve ment that has been made. The other cows have been improved; we keep only the highest producers. We no longer depend on the south side of a straw stack for shelter, but have nice comfortable stalls. Prac tically every farmer sells cream to the North State Creamery Company at Burlington, N. C. To prove what progress has been made, in 1925 there were, approxi mately, (5,800 pounds of butterfat sold to the creamery from Whitney community. In 1927 there were approximately 25,000 pounds of butterfat sold. The North State Creamery Com pany is largely responsible for the progress that has been made in the dairy business. We should feel proud that we have a market that can handle our butterfat at a fair price. If it were not for the cream ery I doubt if butter would sell for over twenty cents per pound.?A Club Member.
