1 HE GLEANKR GRAHAM. N. C., FEB. 13, 1930. 1881'ID KVEkY THURSDAY. J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. ?nterad at tne Postofflce at Graham. N. 0.. aa ??ooiiu-olaea matter. C. L. Shuping of Greensboro has been named state manager and former Judge James S. Manning of Raleigh named as chairman for Josiah Williams Bailey's campaign for the Senate. The manager for Mr. Simmons has not yet been an nounced. Thomas A. Edison, electrical wiz ard, celebrated his 83rd birthday Tuesday at his winter home at Fort Myers, Fla. ? Abraham Lincoln, 16th President ol the United States was born In -Hardin county, Ky., 121 years ago Wednesday. Mr. Hoover crossed this state a day or so ago on his way to the Florida coast to engage in the sport of Ashing for big fish. With all the ple&sant diversion that Ash ing affords, it is wondered if he is not a little rattled when he reads his papers and sees how his friends are dealing with his appointee for Chief Justice. The enforcement Investigation of prohibition has developed much speech-making. The Volstead Act does not appear to grow in favor after ten years' trial. Some are bold enough to say the prohibition amendment ought to be repealed Without any prohibition laws at all, bootlegging could not be much worse than it now is. It the law can be enforced, the government should do It and not allow it to be come a dead letter and a farce. The state prison authorities are considering the purchase of an other farm with the hope of re lieving the congestion at the pen itentiary and that the convicts may contribute In some measure to off set the cost of their keep. Accord ing to late reports published, the penitentiary is literally swamped \ with prisoners?more now than within the history of the institu tion. Whether a farm can be made to pay expenses is not the big question. There are many prison ers who are still youthful- and who have the possibilities of becoming useful citizens after their terms of confinement have expired. To keep them confined with out employ ment of some sort is a menace to their health and to their subse quent reformation. Though they are criminals and classed as such, the door of opportunity should not be closed in their %faces. This is the fourth day that the confirmation of Charles Evans Hughes, appointed Chief Jv ,tlce of the Supreme Court by f-.esldent Hoover last week lmmedi.: tely up-, on the resignation of William How ard Taft, has hung fire. The real and' potent objection comes from the Republican side of the Sen ate, Mr.Bo rah. leading the same. Mr. Borah who spent his 1928 con gressional vacation scurrying over the county, from one end to the other, telling the people to vote .for Mr. Hoover. Now he Is fight ing the confirmation of Mr. Hoo ver's appointee to the last ditch. Benator Heflin, a Hoover Demo crat, was about the first object on the Democratic side, but his ob jection seems to have been based chiefly upon the assumption that Mr. Taft was not sick enough to quit the office. There is a possibil ity that Mr. Hughes may fall to be confirmed. If so, the attack can not be charged to the Democrats. But the opposition is growing. When Mr. Hughes was named, the country at large seemed to take It for grant ed that his confirmation would pass without any hitch, great lawyer that he Is. Cheerful news comes dally that ] former Chief Justice Taft contin ues to improve. Independent merchants are mak- , Ing a drive against the chain stores. < rhe latter sell for less money and j i are getting the trade. Buyers, who I are scarce of money, are making 1 the little they have do the best ser- , vice possible. A Poultry Flock on Every Farm The (arm poultry flock Is not ex pensive and because of the excel lent food it produces, should be found on every farm. "During a part of the year, a flock of from 50 to 100 hens will forage for much of their food," says Dr. B. F. Kaupp, head of the poultry department at State Col lege. "The chickens consume bugs and worms which are Injurious o crops and clean up waste grain about the cow and horse barns. The flock needs to have a comfor table house which can be kept clean and plenty of mash and grain feed. Com, oats, wheat and barley to feed the flock may be grown at home and made into a ration that Is just as satisfactory as any commercial mixture. For mulas for preparing these rations may be had from the poultry de partment of State College. Dr. Kaupp says that every per son should eat at least two eggs every day. This means that two cases of 30 dozen eggs each Is needed for each person In the State each year. Twenty to 25 pounds of poultry should also be consumed by each person on the farm In a year. To find out the potential market for poultry and eggs in a county, one should ascertain how many hens there are within Its borders. These hens should average at least 100 eggs each. If each hen lays 100 eggs and each person con sumes 500 eggs, It would mean that there should be Ave hens for each person to supply only the home needs. More hens than this should be kept, however, so that ? sur plus of eggs may be available for sale. Then, too, says Dr. Kaupp, pul lets must be raised each year to replace about one-half of the ma ture hens. Five eggs to set will be needed for each pullet In the breed lng pens. If the farm flock is to be kept at 100 hens, this means that 250 eggs must be set. To do this without an Incubator requires 15 setting hens. If the family con sumes 200 pounds of poultry on the | table, 25 hens and 50 fryers will supply this amount. | PREPARE FOR WEEVIL EARLY THIS YEAR J Cotton growers are beginning to I realize that control of the boll wee vil Is a regular part of the routine | In growing cotton and that to con tinue growing the crop at a profit, a provision must be made for this work. "We are receiving hundreds of requests from all parts of the cot lnte Information about the boll weevil," says C. H. Brannon, exten ton growing section asking for defll inlte Information about the boll slon entomologist at State College. "Manufacturers of dusting ma chinery and calcium arsenate tell us that they are receiving orders and indications are that a number of dusting outfits will be sold throughout the state this season. Those who buy these expensive im plements must keep In mind one Important fact. Dusting must be done exactly right or no results will> be obtained." Mr. Brannon says that In most farm operations there Is no exact way of doing things. One must use his own judgment within cer I tain limits about how he shall cul tivate. plow, apply fertilizers or harvest, but when It comes to pois onlng the boll weevel by dusting there Is only one way and grow ers should not Jump into weevil control without being adequately equipped and fully Informed. Much money has been wasted in the past because poisoning has not been done right. Yet the" methods have been standardized since 1917 and are both practical and efficient. There are a number of North Carolina cotton growers who have poisoned successfully and have pro duced good crops of cotton despite ravages by the weevil. Mr. Bran non offers to send detailed Infor mation about how this Is done to any grower who will write him for the Information. S. J. Childs of Hendersonville has recently opened one of the best equipped small hatcheries In < North Carolina. It has a capacity i of 25,000 eggs. J Farm Tax Burden Too Heav.y Farmers are carrying the chief burden of taxes today because taxing systems are based mainly jn an antiquated property tax. The anly hope the farmer has for per manent tax relief is thru a com plete and thorough revision of the present tax system In North Caro lina and the establishment of an effective tax administration. This Is the opinion of Dr. O. W. Forster, agricultural economist at State College, who made a thor ough study of farm taxes for the State Tax Commission In 1928. As a result of these studies, Dr. For ster believes the farmer Is unfair ly taxes. He advocates a system in cluding a personal Income tax de signed to reach all. personal in come derived from whatever source and emphasizes especially the need for reaching Intangible personal property, which now in a large measure escapes taxation. The property tax should be mod ifiied so as to relieve property owners and also to eliminate doub le and triple taxation which is so common now and which is the cause of so much dissatisfaction. Dr. Forster also advocates a bus iness tax or tax on the net income from business enterprises, which is entirely separate and apart from the personal income tax. Such a diversified system of taxation ef ficiently and justly administered would give farmers real and perm anent relief, he says. Dr. Forster recently declared that the administration of our tax laws is Inadequate and needs to be revised. The chief defects are ir responsibility of tax officials, in efficient and dishonest personnel, and unscientific methods used in, the assessments of property and in the levying and collecting of reve nues. The remedy to this, he said, is the creation of a fiscal commis sion with broad powers to study tax problems and effect the neces sary reforms. CLUB WORK POPULAR SAYS STATE LEADER One evidence ol the increased popularity of 4-H Club work in North Carolina is indicated by an enrollment of 23,704 farm boys and girls in these junior farming pro jects in 1929. "One of the gratifying features of 4-H club work last year is that 62 per cent or 14,791 members com pleted their projects and made re ports to their home or farm agents" says L. R. Harrill ,club leader at State College. "As usual in re cent years, the girls out-numbered the boys, according to records. There were 16,365 girls enrolled in the home demonstration projects in which studies with nutrition, food preparation and conservation, clothing and room Improvement were made. There were 7,339 boys enrolled largely in live stock and crop projects. This enrollment a mong the boys was an increase of 20 per cent over 1928 and shows that they are beginning to take more interest in 4-H club work." Mr. Harrill said that the club members were engaged in many different lines of work. Some of them had two or three projects and others had only one. Studies were made in handling dairy calves, poultry, corn growing, swine feed ing, and nearly every other branch of farming. Forestry received some attention last year and a number of boys put an acre of pines under i management. Some planted waste places to trees. In a few cases crop rotations were started. The girls were principally con- j cerned with clothing and food studies, although many of them' improved their rooms, beautified! the home grounds, or canned and! preserved foods. In addition to the individual pro-I Jects, the organized clubs con-, ducted community projects for the | betterment of the whole neighbor-' hood. One Cumberland County farmer never goes to Fayettevllle but that he carries vegetables, poultry, eggs or cured meats for sale. He grows tobacco and cotton for his main crops but never falls to have money throughout the year. Cooperative poultry sales are be ginning over North Carolina, Far-j mers of Pitt county recently sold 7,052 pounds at the poultry car for $1,457.41, The Farmers' Exchange in Cur rituck County is saving buyers over 13 a ton on their purchases of fer tilizer this spring. County Agent Claude B. Paris of Qraven County was recently voted one of the most useful citizens in the county. jl Did You Ever Stop To Think | (Copyright 1928) By Edsou R Wait*. Shawnee, Okla. Prank Grimes, Editor of the Abi-' iene (Texas) Daily Reporter and Morning News, Says: That a good many merchants ex pect too much of advertising Ad vertising 1s a powerful factor in i merchandising, but it Ian' t magic. It has its limitations. For instance, it is up to the ad vertiser to back up his ads with service. You can't advertise worth while goods at low prices, then skin the customer with inferior! goods and expect to get away with it. The ad-readers are a wise bunch. J It is hard to fool them. Once burnt, forever shy, is their motto. If you [ don't deliver what you promise, you'd better not advertise. If the customers don't flock to your store j on the crest of an advertising wave,' don't blame advertising. Look into your service. See if you're keep ing your end of the implied con tract with the customer. Skin-game merchandising and: advertising do not go together worth a cent. They don't mix any better than oil and water. If the skin game merchant advertised, he would be ruined Inuch quicker? simply because the public would get his number quicker. So this is a pretty safe rule: The merchant who advertises is safe to do business with. He is depend able, chiefly because he wants to be, but also because he has to be. He can't advertise bargains and palm off shop-worn goods, or drive a hard deal with his customers. Beware the merchant who does not advertise! Maybe he can't af ford to?let the public in on the secret. The development of the ship ping business of the port of Los Angeles is amazing to the man who visits Los Angeles only every few years. With the same team work, breadth of vision and enterprise which these people have shown in the building up of their tourist business, and the development of their industries, they have brought their port from obscurity to the very front ranks of the ports of the United States in ten years. The number of tourists visiting southern California is constantly Increasing because the city is con stantly offering increased attrac tions in the form of the best fa cilities for visiting the major points of interest. in the west, with Los Angeles as the logical center. As qn example of this, six years ago they practically annexed the Hawaiian Islands, which are situ ated 2100 miles out in the mid-Pa cific. This last development was made by the very popular costwise steamships, Yale and Harvard in regular service between the coast ports of San Francisco, Los An- 1 geles and San Diego. The management of this com pany claimed that there was much in common between Hawaii and Southern California and that visi tors to Southern California would be glad to add the romance and charm of Hawaii to the other at- 1 tractions of a Southern California ? trip. Therefore they built up a fleet of ocean liners providing a sailing every week to Honolulu di rect from Los Angeles and are now carrying upwards of 10,000 people in each direction each year. 1 Southern California friends of mine tell me that the great ocean liners, "City of Los Angeles" and "City of Honolulu," which head the 1 Lassco fleet in service between Los Angeles and Hawaii, are recognized as the finest and most luxuriously equipped passenger liners on the ? Pacific. Some idea of their lux urious equipped passenger service can perhaps be gathered from the fact that nearly all the staterooms of these ships are outside rooms equipped with beds and that two thirds of the rooms have baths adjoining?a degree of luxury not even found on big Atlantic liners. I also learn that the Oods have favored Los Angeles in this ocean travel matter as they have In many other ways, for mariners claim that the southern route traveled by the ships from Los Angeles to Hawaii is the smoothest lane of travel in all the seven seas, and as a con- i sequence this has become the pre ferred route by travelers from all ovr the United States. Ninety Alamance county farmers have already agreed to plant lm- j proved pastures ranging from two - to sixteen acres, reports County | Agent Kerr Scott and he expects to sign up twice that many more before the campaign Is closed. News of Whitsett Mrs. Kell Davenport and son, Geo. Davenport, of Gaston county were here last week visiting Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Davenport. The Guilford county road forces have been through this territory during the last few days cutting back the timber on either side of the public highway to a distance of 30 feet to allow sunlight and to open the roads fully over the right of way. During the absence In Texas of Rev. G. W. McClanahan the ser vices at Friedens and Peace churches are In charge of Prof. J. H. Joyner who on Sunday spoke at Peace church. The teachers of the Whitsett school spent Saturday In Greens boro attending the regular meeting of teachers held once a month. Dr. and Mrs. W. T. Whitsett were called to Greensboro Sunday by the death of their uncle, Dr. George W. Whitsett, who for 40 years had been a leading dentist In that city. His funeral took place Monday at Greensboro at 2:30 p. m. He was a graduate of the University and of the Baltimore college of Dental Surgeons, and Is survived by his wife, one brother, Alfred T. Whit sett of Chapel Hill and many rela tives. For several years he has been in declining health. There Is much inconvenience be cause of the condition of the pub lic road from Sprlngwood Church to Glbsonville via the Gibsonvllle cemetery. A splendid concrete bridge was built on this highway, but the road work was never com pleted and the road has been im passable for months. A movement Is on foot to rebuild the entire telephone system here and at Gibsonville and Elon Col lege. If carried out, it will also Include a re-adjustment of all the rural lines that connect with this system. Friends of the candidates for the judgeship have been active for the past week, and it Is found that all three, Messrs. Hoyle, Cooke" and Raper, have friends in this part of the county. The contest promises to become a very close one in this territory. The friends of candidate J. W. Burke are active in efforts for him as one of the county com missioners. J. W. Bailey has many friends throughout this section, and there are dally discussions as to the Bailey-Slramons contest. W. T. Whitsett, Jr., of this place was one of the members of the university glee club that won first place in the contest held In "Green ville, S. C., on Friday evening last. The club will go to New York later where It will enter the national glee club contest. The local representa tive sings first tenor In the club which is composed of thirty mem bers. Arrangements have about been completed for the early publication of a book of about 25,000 names In a work on the genealogy of 30 Df the earliest families of Guilford, Alamance and Randolph counties, which has been complied by Rev. D. I. Offman during a period cover ing more than 20 years In which he has been collecting data In this particular field. The book will be an invaluable work for all Interest ed not alone in the families repre sented but in many allied families as well. T. O. Sharp has placed several attractive signs at Rock Garden , Home which he will open soon as a place where rooms may be se cured by tourists. This will fill a local demand that has been felt for years. Miss Brownie Taylor has return ed to North Carolina College after a few days spent here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W- Tay- , lor.
