It looks like Governor Gardner has won out on his highway com- j mission re-organization. If it will j give better service and more eco- f nomically?the things aimed at,\ then there is no kick from this "neck of the woods." The six months state-supported school bill it seems is as good as , passed. If the state can raise the j money, all well and good. * The days of the life of the legis lature are slipping by at a pretty fast gait, and when the consitu tional limitation for compensation has been reached it is feared that all will not be able to keep their patriotism in high gear. Since there are" a number of things proposed in the legislature that will require the raising of more money than formerly, the fi nancially-minded are casting about for revenue raising subjects. When the proposition is made to tax this thing or that, then interest will come like an avalanche. That ten per cent reduction in salaries proposition is not standing1 out as prominently as a while back. It is not shelved yet?Just waiting | to get some other things out of he way. Well, here's hoping that the mill will keep on at good grinding speed, .so that some good and desirable legislation will not be left over and unconsidered. The legislature is fooling with' Ihe divorce law again. Maybe some body has a special case that a change in the law is necessary to make it fit. A committee waited on A1 Smith as to addressing the legislature. He I declined to deliver the address at i once as requested, but promised to ? do so about March 5th. About that time the body will be wrestling with some knotty problems and will need some pepping up. Sunday, February 22, is the 199th anniversary of the birth of Oen. George Washington, first president of the United States. President Hoover's notion as to payment of World War veterans' adjusted compensation is not ap proved by congress. It now looks Jlke congress will pass a bill to loan at least 50 per cent, and pass it over Mr. Hoover's veto should he essay to veto the measure. TUBE COTTON VARIETIES PRO DUCE BEST YIELDS Pure seed of improved varieties produced the best quality of lint and gave the best acre yields of aeed cotton as compared with mix ed seed and poor varieties, accord ing to a survey made on 232 farms In four ginning areas last year. The survey was made bv Jerry H. Moore, cotton technjlogist at State -college, who secured samples of all cotton varieties grown on the 232 farms. The samples were collected principally in Lenoir, Northampton, "Union and Mecklenburg counties. Mr. Moore says many Interesting facts were learned during the course of the study. He found, for Instance, that many (lowers got planting seed from neighbors without stopping to In vestigate the purity of the seed. In ( many cases, the seed so obtained were no better than those already being grown on the farm. It was found also that some growers Change their seed every year and awme never made a change. In those areas where one cotton vari ety predominated, the seed stocks I jhave been kept up to a fair stand ard without any special effort to i( Improve the seed or to prevent at the local glna I It was found further that the' length and uniformity of staple Is directly associated with the selec tion and care of seed stocks. Pure seed of the improved varieties j nearly always produced a superior staple as compared with the lnfe- j rior staple from the short staple, mixed or run-down varieties. As a result of the survey, Mr. Mpore Is convinced that the source antP>care of planting seed is the most Important factor In the con- J trol of the farmer by which he may produce a uniform staple' of good quality measuring 15-16 to one and one-sixteenth Inch. He urges grow ers to get good seed and then pre- > vent their being mixed at gins. RALEIGH LETTER <By Carl Goercb) The legislature Is Inflicted with a reading clerk who can't read. That's nothing. The State Is in flicted with a legislature that can't legislate. _! Things are In an awful tangle up at the capitol. Nobody seems to i know exactly what It Is all about. Did you ever see an amateur cook trying to boll a pot of rice, fry a| steak, toast some bread, scramble eggs and peel onions all at the same time? That's exactly the sta tus of things In the legislature just now. And there's no telling how they will turn out. i Whenever the members of the house can't think of a new bill to introduce, they turn their attenion to Mr. Lunsford. the alleged read ing clerk. One of these days some member Is going to introduce a bill "equivocating the differential of potentialities relative to adjudica tion of spontaneous and incompre- I hensible salubrity" and Mr. Luns ford just naturally will choke him self to death. It's a wonder nobody ever thought of that Idea. One of the most important bills passed thus far has been the six month's school bill. Having partial- ' ly adopted it, members of the legis- ' lature are now looking around for ways and means to tear it to pieces. By the time they get through with it instead of being a bill to finance the schools for six months b y | means of state aid, it is liable to be a bill for furthering the Interests of deaf and dumb spinsters in Pata gonia. ! The highway bill is the next im porant project to come up for con sideration. Many people throughout the State regard the legislature as being composed principally of a bunch of highwaymen, so it may be taken for granted that the highway !nm W,0,n tT g'Ve them any serl?us difficulty. In the long run, however, the county roads probably will be paved with good Intentions, instead of concrete. | A committee went down to Pine hurst last Friday "to interview A1 Smith and get him to speak to the legislature. When A1 came to Ra leigh in 1928 and made a talk, the State promptly turned around and went Republican. If he should ac cept the present h vitatlon and talk to the legislature, there's no telling what might happen. Something of a beneficial nature. Twe prisoners out at the peniten tiary were electrocuted last week. I happened to go out there that day, but I didn't have the nerve to witness the electrocution. Just about as terrible a sight is to look around and see several hundred men standing around in idleness, with absolutely nothing to occupy their time. And when you stop to think of the crime stories that are told, of he mingling of hardened criminals with mere novices, of the lessons in crime that are given mere boys, it sort of makes your flesh creep. Put a young fellow in the penitentiary for six months and there is little chance of ever mak ink a useful citizen out of him again. I certainly am in favor of , some sort of plan for segregating ' different classes of prisoners and of | providing something for them to ; do. It's something that George Ross Pou has been trying to accomplish for a long time. The prison business is really one of the most Important problems confronting the legislature. Come to think of it, this plan of having A1 Smith make a talk to the legislature might not be such a bad thing after all. Follow it up with a few hot remarks from Tom Heflin, then urge Bishop Cannon to deliver a lecture and wind up with a talk from Hoover on Republican pros perity. and by that time the minds of the various members of the leg islature would be in such a muddle that they'd vote for any bill that Max shoved at them. By the way, If he'd known that the senators and representatives were going to cause him all this | trouble, I'll bet he never would have , put out for so many free feeds at 'he mansion for them. If he had permitted them to stay hungry, they probably would have listened i to reason. You1 take a fellow when he's had plenty to eat, however, and he doesn't much care whether school keeps or not. And Just think of all the dishes that Mrs. Gardner has had to wash | after those suppers! To say nothing i of sweeping up cigarette-stumps all over the house the next morning! C. R. Pope of Cedar Creek in Cumberland county Is cutting down the acreage to cotton and tobacco on his large crop farm and is plan ning to grow feed crops and pasture for sheep, hogs and cattle. There are 75 ewes now on the farm. Negro farmers of Alamance coun ty sold three pure bred Jersey bulls to Negro farmers of Harnett coun ty recently, making a total of four the colored dairymen of Alamance have disposed of In the last few weeks. Columbus county tobacco grow ers are standardizing on the Cash variety this season and are re cleaning and treating their seed for diseases before planting the beds, reports county agent J. P. Quiner ly' I Land is being cleared In Rich-1 mond couty for pasture planting and preparations are under way to Increase the population of family ? cows. Summons by Publication <ORTfI CAROLINA?
