THE GLEANER GRAHAM. N. C., APRIL 2, 1931. ? . 1 . _J. * ISSUED EYEKY THURSDAY. J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Entered at tne Po8?offlce at Graham. .N O.. an second-oia*? matter Raleigh got on an air mall route yesterday. The route Is from Jack sonville to New York. We rejoice with our Capitol city In the acqui sition of this coveted modern con venience. For the past few days the Leg islature has been going through a "backin' and filltn'" operation?do ing and undoing, that is trying to do and undo, without any marked success. The Legislature is working out an endurance record. It convened 12 weeks ago yesterday and has al ready used up 24 days in addition to the time for which pay is allow ed by law, but the members are still standing by their guns with the end not yet in sight. Some of them won't ever want to go back again, and some of them won't if they want to. TWO APPLE BULLETINS ARE NOW AVAILABLE "Soil Management for Apple Or chards" and "Apple Spraying" are the titles of two excellent, new ex tension circulars, recently prepared by H. R. Nlswonger, extension hor ticulturist at State college, and now available to commercial orchard ists or to owners of home orchards In North Carolina. , In these two publications, Mr. Nlswonger has drawn upon his years of experience with the suc cessful and practical apple growers of the state and the facts are de termined lasgely by the field dem onstrations which certain orchard - lsts have conducted in co-operation with Mr. Nlswonger and the county farm agents. The bulletin on soil management for the apple orchard Is an entirely new thing. For many years, Mr. Nlswonger has conducted demon strations in the use of cover crops, the plowing under of legumes, fer tilization with nitrate of soda and other practices. As a result of the field work, he Is now In a position to advocate the practioes which he sets forward in his new publication. The bulletin on apple spraying was also prepared after similar field Work. Mr. Nlswonger makes the point that under North Carolina conditions, it Is Impossible to pro duce a crop of apples absolutely free from Injuries caused by in juries by Insects, but It Is entirely possible to produce a crop that will grade out 90 per cent of U. S. No. 1 fruit. This can be done of course, if the right principles of spraying management are followed. These principles consist in the cor rect timing of sprays, thorough ap plication of the mixtures, and the use of materials that will control the particular Insects being fought. The bulletin gives the facts In re gard to these three matters. Copies of both publications may be had free of charge as long as the supply lasts on application to the agricultural editor at State college. TWO THINGS ESSENTIAL IN CORN GROWING Proper plant food and plenty of moisture are two things essential In growing profitable yields of corn this year. "In this part of the country, we have sufficient rainfall to make two or three average crops of com ev ery year, but this rainfall does not always come when it Is needed,", says C. R. Hudson, veteran farm demonstration worker at State col-! lege. "The problem then is to catch this rainfall and retain It for use In dry weather. This means deep breaking of the land, the turning Under of cover crops two or three Weeks before planting, and the turning under of cover crops two or three weeks before planting, and the maintaining of a moisture-sav ing mulch. After the com Is up, deep cultivation will cause heavy lots of moisture and will seriously Injure the com after it Is from one to two feet high." Mr. Hudson says using a turn plow for cultivating com is little short of criminal. It destroys a large percentage of the small feed rootlets and throws up ridges that ?ry out quickly. Every good corn glower cultivates his crop shallow and on the level but often enough to keep the aod loam on tap. I RALEIGH LETTER By CARL GOERCH If you ever want to give a party of any kind and if you want that party to be peaceful, quiet and harmonious, don't ask anybody from Beaufort county to be pres ent. That's my county. We raise folks down in this neck-of-woods that can cause more trouble and con fusion in ten minutes than the rest of the State can cause in a year. Look at the legislature, for ex ample. Who is it that has been re sponsible for all the fuss in the house? A. D. MacLean, of course. He's from Beaufort county. And who is the most colorful figure in the senate? Hot Stuff Ward. He's from Beaufort county too. I've heard it .eported on the best of authority that there always is great uneasiness In heaven when ever anybody from Beaufort coun ty applies for admission. Plans for financing operation of the MacLean bill took up most of the past week. The bill calls for a six-months' school term, to be paid for by the State. Let 'em have it. Then add a six-months' sentence for the entire legislature, and everybody would be satisfied. They've been jumping at the Governor kind of strong like. In some circles he Is accused of be ing in cahoots with the power companies and with various and sundry other Interests. All of Ul.i. I. - l_i. ?S 1 rrUnnA WHICH 15 a 1UI/ Ul uuiuncy. urcic are a lot of times when X don't agree wltlj everything he advo cates, but I always know darned well that he is influenced by only one motive?to serve the people of North Carolina to the best of his ability. I'll give him credit for that every time, and I think that every one else, with any degree of com mon sense, will do the same. Commissioner Maxwell and Jo sephus Daniels have been shooting figures at each other rather pro miscuously during the last few days. The only thing lacking to make it a perfect party is for Cam Morrison to Jump into the melee and take a hand in straightening out things. As this is being written, the sales tax bill has passed the house and is scheduled to come up before the senate. My guess is that the sen ate will defeat the measure. Then it wil lbe up to both branches of the general assembly to effect some sort of a compromise measure. Perhaps they will pass the Hins dale bill, or perhaps they will draw up a new sales-tax measure, mak ing the percentage of taxation one half of one per cent, instead of one per cent. If they do that, it will be necessary to look around for other things to tax. Naturally, there will be a lot of squabbling , and fussing about the various pro posals that are suggested. Tak lng everything into consideration, I think that the State ought to consider itself lucky if the legisla ture adjourns by the time Christ mas rolls around. The real trouble with the gener al assembly is that its membership is composed almost exclusively of married men. They've been used to fussing and quarreling for many years. Whenever they suggest any thing they expect an argument to follow. A bunch of bachelors would have fixed up everything inside of three weeks without the slightest bit of trouble and would have for gotten all about it by now. That's a good point to remember the next time you get ready to vote on a candidate for the legislature. The consolidation of the State's three leading educational institu tions went through without any fuss. So did several other minor bills. The Seawell banking bill is still hanging fire. A new congres sional district also was created, due to the fact that North Carolina Is entitled to an extra congressman under the new census. Just as though we didn't have enough wor ries as it is! It looks as though the legislature If a cover crop is turne dunder early before 'planting the crop, It will help to save moisture and will furnish humus and some nitrogen. One reason why com yields in North Carolina are so low. In Mr. Hudson's opinion. Is the lack of cov er crops turned under. Then, too, he says It is never ad visable to put all of the fertiliser under the com at planting time. Use the split application. Otherwise much of the plant food may be used up before the com neeeds It most. The nitrate of soda Is best applied when the com Is about two feet high. Earlier applications do not pay so well. It Is Impossible to produce a good crop without a plentiful supply of plant food and sufficient water to dissolve this food and carry It up Into the .stalk where it Is needed, he concludes. Is going to stay up in Raleigh at] least another week after this one. However, they're Just as liable as not to stay there another month. For men such as these, we thank thee, oh, Lord! I Smith, Garibaldi, Harris and Ward. Moss and MacLean; Young and Tobe Connor? Statesmen of valor; solons of hon or. i Woodard and Hanes; Fountain and Neal? The highest regard for all these we feel. But alas and alack! How we're disappointed In these noble men? these sages annolnted. For weeks they have tolled and long have they labored For various measures that strongly were favored. But only to find, despite concen tratlon, They could come to terms on no legislation. So on goes the session; no won der we cuss At all of this turmoil; this unend ing fuss. They heed no advice; suggestions they spurn. Oh, Lord; let us hope they soon will adjourn! GROW WATERMELONS ADVISES MR. HUDSON Watermelons are neither difficult nor expensive to grow and few food products produced on North Caroli na farms are so delicious. In addi tion, they contain some of the well known vitamins which the nutri tion people say constantly are nec essary for health. "The Important thing to do," says C. R. Hudson, practical farmer and veteran extanslon worker at 'State college, "Is to get some melons planted as early as possible and then plant more every three weeks until the first of July or later. Properly matured melorfs of the late crop will keep over until next Christmas If put Into a refrigerator or handled without bruising and kept in a cool, well ventilated place. "When a man Is tired, hot and thirsty, few things will give him so quick and satisfying relief as a good watermelon. The thrifty farm woman often makes pickles and preserves of the rind, and hogs and poultry will consume the seed with relish." Mr. Hudson says any well drain ed, sandy loam soil, containing some organic matter, will produce good melons. Simply lay out the rows six to eight feet wide, make (hecks across about the same dis tance apart, and at the junction of these rows put in two shovelfuls of stable manure and a handful of complete fertilizer. Mix this well with the soli; throw up low ridges and put the seed in the ground about one-half to one Inch deep. A little nitrate of soda stirred Into the loll just before or after planting will give the vines a good start. A little hoe work around the hills and the same thorough and fre luent cultivation given other crops will result In good yields. Don't dis turb the vines after they begin to "un and plant some cowpeas In the nlddles at the last cultivation to five the vines something on which jo cling. For bigger melons, pinch >11 some of the runners, he advises. Seventy-seven 4-H club members 'ouraeyed with the club agent of Wayne county to the Coastal Plain iranch station near Wlllard to :tudy the research of seven pure >red Jersey bulls and one heifer at a sale recently sponsored by the county agent. Some of these parlor economists make us laugh. In one breath they will advise the farmer to raise Jess grain and In the next will upbraid him for spending so much time in his flivver and not staying at his home to attend to his crops. It now develops that the Farm Board with the power of the feder al government behind it could not repeal the law of supply and de mand. We doubt whether even Congress can do it even if It tries again. Chattel Mortgage Blanks?For sale at The Oleaster office.

' I* ^ _ Bankers Association President Asks If Unfair Aid Is Given Motorized Transport? For Rail Mergers. JkTHW YORK.?Pair treatment for the railroads fa respect to highway motor competition was called for by Rome C. Stephenson, President Amer ican Bankers Association, in a recent address here. He also strongly en dorsed "sound economic railway CoU . eolidation" and praised President Hoo ver for his initiative in this respect. "I am very strongly of the opinion that one of the measures which would help materially to put back busineLs where it ought to be is the Eastern four-system plan of railroad consoli dation as annoupcCd recently follow ing negotiations instituted by Presi dent Hoover,'* said Mr. Stephenson. "Its adoption by the Interstate Com merce Commission would tend to stabi lize the transportation industry, fa cilitate operation And exert a favorable influence on business in general. "It is a fact Well known to business leaders that our railroads are now fac ing a crisis. Not only do they need protective laws to meet competitive situations arising from increased use of our highways and waterways by other carriers, but they need uniiica tion such as the proposed four-system plan provides. Our President has I acted wisely in assuming a leadership in this respect and his move deserves I the support of every clear-thinking citizen." Mr. Stephenson declared that the railroads have served this country "so superlatively well that we are prone in our public affairs to overlook our de pendence upon them and our obliga tions to them. The past, present and future progress of the United States is inseparably bound up with their wel fare. In neglecting just consideration for them we are even more neglectful of the public's best economic interests. 4 A Question of Public Interest "We are confronted with the ques tion as to how much more the public economic interest will stand an inva sion of the welfare of the railroads by forces and difficulties not of their own creating and not within the scope of their own unaided powers to combat," said Mr. Stephenson. "I refer especially to new competitions that are undermin ing the hard-earned position of tho rail roads, not only with the aid of natural economic forces but also through the aid of government policies which, poci tively or negatively, tend to give these competitors undue advantages over the. railroads. "It goes without saying that the rail roads hove no right, nor claim any, so far as I have been able to discern, to complain at legitimate competition iu the field of transportation, for the pub lie is entitled to the best possible trans portation at the lowest practical cost But equally does it go without saying that this cannot be fairly brought about by using, or by failing to use, the tax ing powers of government to enable competitive methods of transportation to do things they could not otherwise do as unaided private enterprises, par ticularly when such action impairs the invested rights held in good faith by great masses of our people in estab lished enterprises that are serving tho public well." ivtr. oiepueiiauii tsaiu it was nut uis purpose to argue against such com petitive transportation as the highway passenger motorbus and motor truck as such, when conducted under proper conditions and in keeping with public welfare and benefit. He declared, how ever, there is need for serious consid eration whether such competition is being developed under conditions that are unfair to the railroads, because either the outright or obscure aid of government policy is the deciding eco noihic factor in that competition. Would Investigate But Traffic Railroad rights of way, he declared, represent tremendous capital invest ments, on which the railroads have also heavy current costs to meet. "They pay every day a million dollars In ta::cs and most of this is on thqir rights of way," ho said. "Also they spend daily over two million dollars ad ditional for the proper maintenance of way." He asserted that the motor buses have not had to pay for their rights of way in any sense that the rail roads paid for theirs. "They have simply taken possession of public highways built by public funds, both state and national." he con tinued, "and they have extensively made those highways vastly less com fortable, less safe and less serviceable for private motorists and others who are contributing chiefly to their crea tion and maintenance." Mr. Stephenson declared that all these matters should be thoroughly in quired into by competent public bodies, both state and national, with a view of determining the equities and basic public economic interests in volved, "particularly in respect to their effects upon the nation's railroads. "I venture to say," he adjed, "that snch inquiries would sbow whether it is to the public Interest to let things repaln as they are, whether the situa tion calls for a new basis of motorbus and truck taxes to satisfy the equities of the case or whether it would call for such drastic action as the exclusion of this traffic, from' onr public general highways, and thq requirement that, even as the railways. It provide as a part of Its own private capital Invest ment its own rights of way and for its own maintenance of way out of operat ing Income." SAVES LIVES OF / MANY MOTHERS, v" ?^ / Lives of 10,00? women (^ould Df > saved each year in the United States by means of adequate ma ternity care, according te figures vouched for by life insurance statis ticians who analyzed records of 4,726 mothers cared for by the Maternity Center Association. A ' reduction of two thirds the prevail ing death rate was recorded. Methods used to achieve this saving of mothers' lives were de scribed by Mrs. Jehn Sloane, Presi dent of the Maternity Center Asso elation. "The care given ttiese mothers," said Mrs. Sloane, "is that prescribed by a medical board of leading authorities, and includes: "1. Examination by a physician as soon as it is known a baby Is expected, and regular visits there after. "2. Regulation of work, rest, ex ercise and diet to suit the individ ual mother in .accordance with her physician's advice. "3. Supplementing this with skilled medical care at the time of delivery, and during the weeks that' follow providing such nursing and household help as will assure rest in bed for at least te^aays and an easy and gradual jettfrn to usual activity on the advice of the doctor and after his examination." The Maternity Center Associa tion, 574 Madison Avenue, New York City, is an organization spon sored and supported wholly by public spirited men and women. They are planning a national Moth er's Day campaign for May 10 and offer to send free to anyone inter e^ed, suggestions for losal use to mike Mother's Day really mean a better chance for mothers every where. * EXECUTORS' NOTICE.
