THE GLEANER 1 GRAHAM. N. 0., NOV. 13, 1930. ISSUED EVEKY THURSDAY. J. D. KERNODLE, El or. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADY CE. Entered at tne Pon'offlce at < ?n>. N. 0.. an leuouu olaM matter A CAUSE. Already a revision of the tariff is being mooted. A tariff for revenue only is an age-old Democratic doctrine Any lariff at all, be it ever so low, is that much protection. Hut a teriff so high as to exclude imports from other countries is ecotu inically wroug, unless it is desired o have no commercial nelations with foreign countries. Other coun tries produce articles which Ainer icaus want and will buy and use; likewise Amersca makes and pro duces things which other coun tries could use and would like to have, but if our tariff wall is so j high that the foreign product cannot get over it at a margin of l>rofit, then our mutual trading comes to an end. All trading is based on a mar gin of profit. The things we make and sell, we must sell at some profit or quit making them. Tee outsider that sells to us ex pects a profit lie is entitled to it the same as we are. The last tariff is so high that the foreign producer cannot get over it at a profit, and, not being able to do so, he could not buy from us, and so, little by little the world trade has been undermined, and today the world's business is stagnant. Does it nut follow then that the Republican tariff wall is re sponsible for thealinas8 universal stagnation in business? The 18th amendment is looming as an issue in Republican ranks. There are the pros and cons. Sena tor Simeon I). Fees, Chairman of the Republican national commit tei, says that "if the Republican party stands for repeal, it might as well say good-day." To this sentiment Dr. Nicholas .Murray Butler, PresdeutofColuml ui Uni versity, equally known 11 m mally as a Republican as Senate' Kess, replies that "if the R' lican party does not stand for r. al, it might as well say gee . night.' Here is au exemplification of the epigramatic expression "you'll be damned if you do, you'll be damn ed if you don't." Dr. Butler thinks the result of the late election is the handwritiug on the wall. (Quebec, Canada, tins a liquor commission which closed it fiscal year on the 30th of last Ji ue and has just made its statement. The report shows that the protits, in cluding the license fees, amount to $11,809,402. With a slice of revenue that size, it will be a _ difficult matter to getjhat city to try the "noble experment." It would be interesting to snow just what percent Uncle Sam's folks contributed to that fund. As long as Canada keeps open house, denizens of tho border States in in easy reach of that domain will hardly show any great concern about prohibition enforcement. "Lame ducks" a-plenty is one o( the outstanding results of the elec tion of Nov. 4th. They are expect ed to swarin about Washington, looking for a place to perch about the time of convening of the short term of Congross in early Decem ber, aud 110 doubt many of them will be accommodated to the hurt of the national exchequer. If there were bad practices in the conduct of the late electiou in Alamance county, this county is not an isolated case, for the same thing, judging by the results, swept over the entire country? from Maine to Mexico aud Wash ington to Florida During October automobile thieves stole 214 cars of which 84 were returned to the owners during the months, and 38 stolen in pre vious months were recovered. FALL CLEAN-UP WILL REDUCE DISEASE LOSS When weeds and grass are allow ed to grow in profusion and pro duce seed, they are more trouble some to combat the following > If 'hey get the upper hand one ye. r lo<out for them the next year his is a timely warning mad I R, F. Poole, plant pathologist of the North Carolina experiment station, who suggests a thorough fall clean-up as one way of success fully combatting the trouble. Dr. Poole says many fungi live over In the soil. The soil is the chief home j of the fungi and here they are pro tected from freezing weather and other variable conditions. Some ! fungi live over on the stems and leaves of dead plants, while others may pass the winter in green plant tissue. "If a little attention is given to cleaning up the gardens, ore mrds and even fields at this time of the years, many common plant disc ases will not be prevalent next season," says Dr. Poole. Therefore he recommends to prune out all dead wood and re move the infected parts of peren nial plants and burn them. Cut the dead plants of annual growth, rake up or plow under so that decay will be complete before next season. Rake up all the leaves and veg-: etable matter and compost with manure or plow under. Where plants have been diseased with the nematode, plow up and burn the roots. Many of the worms will be killed during the winter. Plow under tomato vines, old summer cabbage plants, beets, mel ons and other garden plants. It Is not necessary to rake these up. Pull off the cedar apples or galls on red cedars in a mile radius, and near apple orchards to keep down | apple rust. UNION COUNTY ADOPTS ONE COTTON VARIETY By adopting the Mexican big boil ed variety of cotton for the county, Union county fanners are making a reputation for themselves for grow ing cotton of uniform grade and staple. "Union county now has the en viable reputation for growing cot ton that suits the textile spinners," says Jerry H. Moore, champion corn grower of the South and agronomist at the North Carolina experiment station. "This reputation did not j come by accident but by the adop tion of one single variety and keep ing it improved through the use of pure seed. The Mexican Big Boll va ; riety, which is the one adopted by - he leading rowers of that county, i nduces a desirable quality of I ten with about one inch staple .it i g nws well on Union county soils." Mr. Moore has been urging more Union county growers to concen trate on this variety. He says the cotton is now well established, has given satisfaction for a number of years and that pure seed may be obtained easily within the county. However, he cautions, any pure variety will quickly run out unless the seed are kept pure at the gin. This Is something which should concern the growers this fall. Spe cial gin days on which only the one i variety is ginned are effective In preventing the mixing of seed The ; other growers who are using the short cottons with undesirable sta ples, should cooperate with the pro gressive growers and unite to keep the cotton from deteriorating. It is entirely possible for the good reputation now enjoyed by Union county to be further Increased if every grower would concentrate on the Mexican big boll variety and grow it to the exclusion of all oth ers. To do this would give Union county a reputation enjoyed by few | sections of the cotton growing South, says Mr. Moore. SELL FAT TURKEYS TO HOLIDAY TRADE With prospects In view for nil 1 citizens of North Carolina to have plenty of turkey available for the holidays this winter, growers should keep In mind that fat turkeys In good condition sell best. This Is the opinion of C. F. Par rlsh, extension poultryman at State - college, who urges growers to gel their holiday birds in condition be fore attempting to sell in the face 1 of more than usual competition thli season. The hot, dry weather thli year was exceptionally favorable for raising young turkeys and the proportion of the birds raised tc poults hatched was larger than us ual. This had the effect of offset ting the decrease In hatching due to poor prices last fall. In getting the turkeys ready foi the market, Mr. Parrlsh suggest! fattening only those which are ma ture. Select them one month before they are to be marketed and feed librally with old corn. If nepr core VELVET BEAN SEED BEST HOME GROWN Home grown velvet bean seed are more dependable than bought seed. "This is a valuable lesson learn ed this year by R. S. Porter of Bla den county," says Enos C. Blair, ex tension agronomist at State college. "Last fall Mr. Porter gathered a quantity of velvet beans by hand. He placed the clusters of pods in sacks and hung the sacks in a dry shed where they remained until spring. By this time, they were thoroughly dried out. It was then an easy mater to beat out the beans with a stick and to clean them by pouring the seed from one con tainer to another in a stiff breeze. These beans were planted this spring and produced an excellent crop." But at the same time, says Mr. Blair, Mr. Porter planted several acres of velvet beans in the same field with seed bought In the open market. They were the best he could find, though they did not look good at planting time and did not germinate nearly as well as the home grown seed. In fact, only 15 per cent germinated. Mr. Blair believes that these pur chased seed. were threshed and sacked or piled in bulk before they were thoroughly dried. They more than likely went through a heat ing process. Or the seed might have been left out in the field for a part of the winter, exposed to damage by rains. At any rate, Mr. Blair believes it to be a safe practice to save a good supply of home grown velvet bean seed each year. These should be gathered as soon as possible after frost and either spread out or hung up to dry in a well protected and ventilated place until the pods are thoroughly dry. Then the seed may be threshed. To do this is much cheaper and more certain than to buy seed about which the grower knows nothing, he says. INCREASE HEN HOURS BY USE OF LIGHTS Increasing the consumption of food by laying hens through the use of lights In the laying house will Insure higher egg production and greater profits through * the winter months. "The use of artificial lights to make hens eat more food and thereby lay more eggs has been suc cessful wherever the idea is follow ed with good judgment and with a clear knowledge of the purpose for which the lights are being used," says P. A. Seese, assistant poultry man at State college. "The correct amount of electricity to use is one 40-watt lamp or bulb In each 200 square feet of floor space. Smaller bulbs are uneconomical. The lights should be placed six feet above the floor and half way from the front to the back with a sixteen-inch re flector used to throw the light over the floor." But regardless of the kind ol lighting system used, the feed must be increased so that the birds get from 13 to 14 pounds of grain tc each 100 hens each day, says Mr Seese. This may seem high. Unless grain is feed heavily, however, the hens will lose in weight and maj go to pieces in March and April. Mr. Seese suggests the first part of November as the time to put the l lights on the early hatched pullets This will hold back the neck molt i of these young birds. No grower must expect to get higher egg production from the | flock through October, November and December and then expect | these same birds to produce breed t ing eggs in March and April. Ir i other words, Mr. Seese adviser , against using the lights on breed ing hens. Oive them the long rest needed for producing eggs that wil! hatch out strong, vigorous chicks If a grower has 500 birds kept foi j laying purposes only, it will pay hin I to install lights. It is best always t< use electricity, says Mr. Seese. must be used, feed it lightly at first and gradually increase the ratior as the corn dries. Mr. Parrish says also that sinc< all the turkeys in a flock do not mature at the same time, it is best to select first the largest and best matured ones and devote attentior to these. They will fatten rapidl; if fed heavily and are under goo< range conditions. The smaller bird may be kept on the growing feed: and marketed later in the coopera tlve calot shipments. It is an excellent plan to begii feeding the birds to be fattenei both night and morning, startlni one month before they are to b< sold and gradually increasing thi quantity of old corn and wheat un til the birds are receiving all the; will clean up. The percentage o corn should be increased as thi weather gets colder. A wet mash a noon, mixed with milk will alsi hasten fattening, says Mr. Par rish. Looking to Union of Methodists At the annual conference of the M. P. church held at Albermarle last week a resolution was passed, looking to a union with the M. E. church. It appears that leaders of the church have had the matter under consideration for some while, and [ that informal conferences have been held with leaders in the M. E. church. L. P. Kennedy, superintendent of the Norfolk Southern railway, told the farmers club of Craven county that his company owned 1-50 of all the land in North Carolina and paid 1-15 of all the taxes in Craven | county. j John Tiger of Shooting Creek in Clay county, reports harvesting three tons of red clover hay an acre from six acres of land in two cut tings.
