THE GLEANER GRAHAM. N. C., MAY 8, 1930. I88UKD KVEEV TH1 B8i>Al . J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Bote red at ttie Pon'offlce at Urahara. N. C.. an ?ecouu-clasH tuatt-r. ^ ? ' I U. S. Senator Carter Glass of J Virginia is the unopposed Demo cratic candidate to succeed him self. Did Senator Simmons wait till all hope of Judge Parker's con tinuation had vanished before saying a word in his behalf? State Insurance Commissioner Dan C. Boney has just given out that, on the 31st of last December North Carolinians had in force 1,891,984 life insurance policies, totaliug $1,314,229,029.99. Near ly one-fourth of this was written during 1929. With an expenditure of $337, o3G,U00 recommended by Douse Appropriations Committee for naval purposes, if favorably con sidered, it does not appear that the London treaty for naval limi tation is being taken very seri ously. This action on the part of the Appropriations Committee seems to presage a fight on the approval of the report of the Naval Conference. What's the matter with Mr. Hoover? For one thiug, he does not appear to ''stand in" with the bosses in his party. They sup ported him for President. Some of them took the stump for him and sung his praises from start to finish, early and late- When he starts in one direction, the same is a signal for a counter move. If Mr. Hoover had Teddy's "Big Stick" and knew how to wield it. he might get somewhere, but he appears lacking in the use of such a scepter. Immediately upon the heels of the defeat of Judge John J. Par ker's confirmation fur Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, the ultra san guine came forward again with the name of Chief Justice W. W. Stacy for the post. Just so much time, energy and breath wasted. If Judge i'arker, a Republican, qualified and fitted, with a record that should not have been a hin drance in the light of unbiased reason, could not pass, then a real Southern Democrat, matters not what his qualifications might be, or how blameless in speech and judical conduct, stnhds not a ghost of a chance at the hands of such a combination as defeated Parker. A notion had gained Borne cur rency that a voter, offering to reg ister for the Jnue primary, could be quizzed rather unduly about his politics. Recent rulings by Attorney General Iirutnniilt and Judge J. Crawford Biggs, Chair man of the State Board of Elec tions, put a limitation to what a voter may be asked. Brummin rules that only oue question nun be aBked, to-wit, "With which party do you affiliate?" Judge Biggs rules that "independents" cannot vote in the primary of either party;Mbat no voter can vote part of the ticket of one par ty and part of the ticket of auoth er party; aud that a voter becom ing of age before the general elec tion can vote in the June primary. The question of separate ballot boxes for each party has not yet been determined. Two hundred pounds of cucum ber seed have been delivered to growers In Hoke county. More than 150 acres of the crop will be grown this season. The cabbage crop of eastern Car olina, particularly Carteret Coun ty, has begun moving in bulk with good demand and fair prices so far. Alleghany farmers purchpsed two pure bred Shorthorn bulls, two Shorthorn heifers ' and one pure bred Angus boll In April. JUDGE PARER LOSES. Thesunry elements in the Unit pd States Seuate "deviled" the e,:..r in ft way that Judge Pai l:< ? '* continuation tailed by the close vote of i>9 to 41. Voting for con firmation were 29 Republican* liad 10 Democrats; against, 17 Re publicans, 1 Farmer-Laborile, anil 2d Democrats. Sixteen members wete paired. Virginia, North Car olina and South Carolina Sena tors were for confirmation. What induced some of the Sen ators from the South and South west to enter a combination to defeat the nominee is scarcely un derstandable. It was a political tragedy and a species of unspeak ably unseemly politics. EGGS AID HEALTH, SAYS FOOD USE MODERN MACHINERY One tractor, two mules and three men now do the same work former ly accomplished by eight mules with eight men on a Camden coun ty farm belonging to G. G. Mark ham of Elizabeth City. "Mr. Markham has a 400-acre farm typical of those usually found in the northeastern section of the state," says A. T. Holman, agricul tural engineer at State College. "A few years ago he grew cotton and corn with some livestock as did the other men about him. Within the last few years, however, the farm has been completely changed. Large areas of cleared and cutover lands have been developed into pasture which Mr. Markham says gives the biggest return of any part of the farm. The pasture land Is ditched, fenced and kept free of coarse growth. The planting system has been changed from cotton to hay,] soybeans, corn, and sunflowers." Mr. Holman says that six mules have been replaced by one general, purpose tractor. Now this one trac-: tor, two mules and three men do the same work formerly done by eight men and eight mules. The tractor Is used for plowing, discing, listing, planting and cultivating as well as harvesting. While the new plan has not been followed long enough to determine its advantages over the old, Mr. Markham says it cannot be less profitable. He has secured little or no profit in cotton growing for some years. Now he finds his crops of hay, soybeans, corn and sun flowers to be easily marketed. Many of the products are turned into cash through the livestock route. Cattle and sheep cost very little to feed as they are carried on pasture throughout the summer and use much of the roughage and other by-products in winter. The soil is growing more fertile instead of poorer and Mr. Markham appears to be satisfied with his reorganiza tion, says Mr. Holman. EGGS AID HEALTH, SAYS FOOD EXPERT. Eggs rank high In the list of foods to be Included in a well se lected diet. The yolk Is a gold mine r* ?? ? ? ? ??- 11 ii of health and the white is almost a pure protein food. ? When we use eggs in the diet, we are availing ourselves of one of nature's richest storehouses of food," says Miss Mary Thomas, nu trition specialist at State College. "Not only does the yolk contain a fine quality of protein and iat for building material and energy but it also contains a rich store of miner als and vitamins necessary for growth, health and vigor. The egg yolk is one of the richest sources of iron so essential in making red cor puscles in the blood. This yolk con- [ tains the vitamins A, B, D and E. It is particularly rich in vitamin a| needed for growth and for build ing up resistance to pulmonary di-1 seases." Miss Thomas says also that egg' yolk is the best of all the common foods for vitamin D which is now known to be necessary in building strong, straight bones, sound teeth and to prevent rickets in children. Formerly it was thought wise to substitute other less expensive foods for eggs in winter when they are high. This is a mistake, says Miss Thomas. Eggs contain such vi tal food elements that every effort should be made to include them in the diet at all times. Particularly is this true of small children. She rec ommends that the baby's diet in clude some egg yolk each day and that the child two years old and older have at least one egg each day. Eggs are easily and quickly di gested if cooked so the protein is not toughened or coated with grease. To cook eggs well they must be cooked at a low temperature, that is, below the boiling point of water, and cook them for as short a time as possible, advises Missj Thomas. DOGWOOD BEATUTIFUL BUT AL SO VALUABLE. The dogwood tree adding so greatly to the beauty of North Car olina forests may be harvested as a crop without destroying the beau ty of the landscape. t This is the opinion of R. W. Grae ber, extension forester at State Col lege, who was recently requested by an official of the State Federation of Women's clubs to aid in the movement to prevent the destruc tion of dogwood trees. This official expressed great concern because of the dogwood tree being used for commercial manufacturing purpos es. "Dogwood in bloom presents a beautiful scene," says Mr. Graber. "So does a field of golden grain; but. we do not ask the farmer to refrain from harvesting his wheat crop. A new crop will take its place next season. The same thing ap plies to dogwood. It is a commer cial necessity, supplying wood from which shuttles are made for use in weaving cotton, silk or rayon. No practcal substitute for this wood has been found, but since trees less than five inches in diameter are not merchantable, the owner leaves his younger and more vigorous trees for future crops." This means that there will be left plenty of dogwood to add beauty to our forests in the future. The tree -1 THE THINKER LEADS MODERN PR06RESS By JOHN G. LONSDALE President American Banker*) Association rT'HE greatest need of the world to * day Is Interpreters of our times ?modern Daniels in agrlcnlturs. finance, politics. Industry ? who can see through the fog and haze that enshroud our difficult problems and advise. In struct, and influ ence those who are either Indif ferent or limited in their percep tions. Through the thinker and the Internreter. u n John G. Lonsdale known situations are disclosed or puzzling conditions explained in logi cal ligbt. Tbe American people are so constituted that they can meet and combat any situation once it is known and understood. It is the unknown that comes like the thief in the night and brings disaster. Some one has defined prosperity as something the business men create for the politicians to take credit for. But America's present-day prosperity can be defined as a product resulting from the business man's ability to study and to interpret. Huge corpora tlons maintain research staffs and special bureaus to interpret the times for them. Disaster looms in the offing for any industry that goes blithely on Its way day after day without due re gard to significant trends in trade and business. I Keeping Up With Change Leaders of finance have discovered that they cannot remain passive in an age when all the rest of the world Is In a transitional stage. The modern banker not only must know about the changing styles in other lines of busi ness, but above all must be alert to the transformations which are taking place in his own. He must be a man of keener, broader vision, because the order of the day Is for larger units of service. Mergers and consolidations have taken place in great numbers. We now talk of billions where a few years ago we talked of millions. We have only begun our change*. What disposition Is to be made of the many problems that they bring will depend in large measure upon our leaders, upon the students and tbe In terpreters who can read accurately the signs of the times, so that we may base future actions and hopes upon their wisdom. Tha quickest way to go to the top is to go to the bottom of things, and let us hope that among tw-i ... in , r " d rinny who will not ? p hut will be goal. seeds freely and reproduces from sprouts and suckers. When one tree is cut, several take its place. In the management plan advocated throughout the state by Mr. Grae ber, dogwood is left protected as an understory beneath forests of pine, oak, hickory and other larger trees. It is shallow rooted and does not interfere with the growth of the deeper rooted trees. Mr. Graeber says that dogwood grows on 87 different soil types, in North Carolina but only on a few does it produce wood of commercial quality. In such areas it is protect ed by the landowners. 8UB8CBIBB FOB THE QLRANRR Seventeen five-acre corn contest demonstrations have been surveyed In Chatham county by the county surveyor.

DISINFECTING COTTON SEED HELPS DEFEAT BOLL WEEVIL SCIENCE bas evolved new means of assisting cotton growers In combatting the boll weevil. The new method Is to treat the seed for the purpose ot obtaining an early stand ot vigorous cotton plants, capa bio ot setting bolls la advance ot heavy weevil Infestation. It has also been shown that disinfecting the seed results In reducing damplng-off or "sore shin;" controls seed-borne anthracnosc; decreases damage from angular leaf spot, and protects against certain seed-borne boll rots. It, there tore, Is unnecessary to follow the common practice of planting an ex cess amount ot seed In order to secure good stands. In treating the cotton seed, an ethyl mercury chloride duBt Is used. It Is inexpensive and is easily and quickly applied to seed by agitating the seed and the required amount of tho disinfectant for a few minutes In a home-made duster or dusting outfits such as may be obtained from seed dealers. The compound was developed by scientists of the Bayer-Semesan Com pany working in cooperation with ex periment stations In several leading cotton states. For means of Identifica tion, the disinfectant has been given the name of "Cereean." Reporting the results of tests with seed disinfectants on cotton, the North Carolina Experiment Station says: "The least effective treatment result ed In an Increase ot t5 per cent in number of seedlings, while the tr.">st effective treatment Increased the stand by 355 per cent. The average Increase ot stand In all treated rows , over all untreated check rows was 14t per cent." i- f Cotton produced by an equal number of rowi ot planta from untreated aead and aeed treated with a new dlelnfectant. Above?The effect of aeed treatment aa ahown by the vlgoroue cotton planta at the right, and thoae from untreated aeed at the left. The North Carolina report further states: "It is now believed that the use of these disinfecting dusts on cot ton seed will in many cases give suffl cient protection to enable the grower to plant bis seed from a week to ten daya earlier than otherwise would be safe." In cotton tests made at Sumter, South Carolina, the Ceresan treatment Increased the yield from 1,147 poundr per acre on the untreated piota t' 1.S37 pounds on the treated plot, < an increase of 190 pounds per act At Orangeburg, the treatment creased the yield by 9.1 per cent.
