THE GLEANER I GRAHAM. N. C., AUG. '20, 1931. I8BUBD BTEKY THUE8DA1 . J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Bnt?r?d at toe Pos'offlc? at Graham. .N O.. an MMHJuu-olaaa matter Running For Office Quite otten It Is seen in print that "so and so" has been running for this or that office for some time ?even for years, before the time is ripe for a formal announcement. A self-constituted candidate, as a rule, does much running and rarely reaches the goal. The rule is that the people start the run ning when they find a suitable person in whom to repose confi dence. They put him in train ing, or on trial, inspire him with appirations and watch develop ments. If developments are pleasing and satisfactory, the people press ' it along until the time comes for the subject to do the formal part. If that formal part is not in ac cord with the sentiment that has been nurtured, the candidate rare ly gets further than the candidacy stage. The successful candidacy is a fu sion of popular sentiment with the things which the candidate stands for, coupled with the native strength to exploit and put them into successful operation. The Federal Farm Board's sug gestion to destroy every third row of the growing cotton crop to re lieve the low price meets with small favor, notwithstanding the price has dipped lower than at any time ^the past 35 years. Over in Oullford county the offi cial activities and conduct of Jus tices of the Peace and some other officers are being investigated on account of illegal practices. The commission of one J. P. has been annuled and others are under fire. The Lindberghs on their hop to Japan Wednesday encountered fogs and, before reaching Japan, were forced to land on an un inhabited Island. If they had re mained they could have paralleled the Imperishable story of Robln son Crusoe. Fortune Is a fickle mistress. Just a year or so ago Maclo O. Menocal was president pf the Cuban re public. He was restive, having once headed his government and being succeeded by another- He supported a revolt against Presi dent Manchado. He became a prisoner of war last Friday. A Congressman wants to pass an act limiting the planting of cot ton. And a legislator wants Gov. Gardner to convene a special ses sion for a like purpose. Such leg islation would seriously interfere with personal liberty and it Is not believed it would stand. If such a law could be passed and upheld, then by the same token every ac tivity could be regulated. Hon. J. C. B. Ehrlnghaus of Eliz abeth City has formally announc ed his candidacy for Governor In 1933. When this star front the East came upon the horizon It was not a profound surprise. The halo of his coming had preceded him for some while. Mr. Ehrlng haus accompanies his announce ment with the things he stands for. He Is for the progressive movements launched by his pre decessors which he believes will better the State at large. Mr. Eh rlnghaus, ever since he broke Into public notice 25 years ago, has been watched with Increasing In terest. Besides being a leading lawyer of the East, he is one of the State's most effective orators. Use wood as a fuel, advises R. W. Graeber, extention forester at State QoBege. The farmem have the wood and Use labor, and mopey tfsed for fchfi will b? spend in the community tor taxes, clothing, and other HscesfMes, he sayy, A "Budget Estimate" of expenses for Alamance county for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1932, has been made out by the county accountant and a copy of same has been fur nished The Gleaner. We have been unable to get It into type for this issue, but are planning to pub lish it in unabridged form in our next issue, so that our readers can see each item for which it is pro posed to spend the tax money. Gilliam Grissom, Federal Rev enue Collector at Raleigh has sug gested to Mr. Hoover that the two or three million bales of cotton held by the Federal Farm Board be converted into cotton bagging. Why, what the dickens would the government do with that much bagging? Grissom expects to be Republican candidate for govern or of North Carolina next year and he might use some of it to "bag" the election. If he didn't need all of it, Mr. Hoover will need all that is left over to help him "bag" the presidency for another four years. Mr. Grissom is a far sighted, providential politician! bankerTfavoT gradual change National Commission Believes Local Sentiment Should Gov ern Evolution in Methods of Conducting Banking. |F substantial changes are to be * brought about in branch banking in the United States they should origi nate within the states rather than from Washington on inter-state lines as proposed in "trade area" branch banking plans, a recent report of the Economic Policy Commission of the American Bankers Association de clares. Such changes, it adds, "should develop by evolutionary rather than revolutionary stages." "The extension of branch banking through state action would mean that states not now permitting state banks to have branches or else closely re stricting them, would individually lib eralize their laws aB an expression of changing local desires and conditions, and this doubtless would Insure a de liberate, evolutionary process," the re port says. "The Other method, that is, through Federal action, would mean a sweeping change for the country as a whole, for legislation granting branch banking powers to national banks in all states, regardless of local sentiment, would, of course, Induce equivalent branch hanking enactments in every state in the Union not now permitting or really wanting state banks to have branches, in order to keep them on a competitive equality. Upholds Ststa Privileges "We find some bankers who (eel that a proper stimulus to the develop ment ot branch banking would be given by the Federal Government tak ing the initiative through granting broader privileges within state lines to national banks than they now en Joy. It is argued that state govern ments could then follow suit as to state banks and that in this way a more progressive branch banking at titude mlgbt be promoted by the na tional banks taking the lead. While we do not deny that there may be some merit in this view as to some specific localities, we stand firm never theless on the principle that no such grant of powers to national banks should cross state lines, or exceed the privileges that state legislatures could and would grant to their state banks. "Moreover?we believe that if the choice between these two possible courses of extending branch banking were put up to bankors they would be generally opposed to any forcible imposition of branch banking on the states through the medium of the na tional bank system. We believe it would be preferable for any change to come about through the more grad ual and democratic method ot the states granting their banks branch banking powers state by state where, if, and as local conditions and senti ment might be ready for a change." Poultry Club Members To Get Purebred Males. Ths- use of better males to head up Use farm flocks is the outstande ing neekt of th'e poultry industry in North Carolina. To offset this neett, the Poultry Department at State College will distribu e at cost, through the extension service, p. a - greed male# of known performance to 4-H club member* wha are con ducting poultry projects. "To be eligible to eecure those birds," says Professor K. S. Dcar Sttytne, head ot the Poultry Depart ment, "club members must have kept records on their flocks for at least one year and must agree to keep records for two years after the male is issued. The price ol these birds will be figured from actual coat to the Department." The success of the poultry, in dustry lies In the breeding and too often tMs U governed hy select ion according to appearance with little stress laid on performance, states Mr. Dearstyne. Such selec tion is often wrong as a cockerel from a 100 egg bird may present a better appearance than ope from a bird that has produced 200 eggs. The worth of a male bird is re flected in the performance of his daughters and this fact carried through the entire progei\y. "While the introduction of pedi greed males into thp flock is a step in ? the right direction," s;(\>s Mr. Daarstyne, "there are other factors to bo considered in order to bring out the be*: results." On^ of the most important of theee factors is the selection of birds to whidhthe mils isto be mated and Mr. Dearstyne recom mends that breeding birds be se lected for vigor, type, and perfor mance. Vigorous, healthy birds will as a rule be heavy producers. The , type should conform to thir culling .I standards for the breed and the i performance records should be kept through trapnesting or legbandfng. By careful selectlno of breeders and the use of pedigreed males, club members can materially raise the State Average in egg production, ' ssys Mr. Dearstyne. One Duplin County farmer pro ' tiuced St. > bushels of onions an ' acre for sale for pickling pur i posits. He said this yield will pay him a profit. Let The Uleaner Of fice do your lob work.

Fitting Dairy Cattle For The Show Ring. | Well trained and properly fitted I animals place high in competition i and ownera should begin now to * prepare their cattle for showing at ' the XainS this fall. ! '"Preparation for showing should ' begin at least two month's before 1 the animal iS to be shown," sgys 1 J. A. Arsy, dairy specialist at Sta te 1 College. "This amount of time is 1 needed -if the animal is in fair 1 condition. If in poor condition more time is needed." I Each animal should be taught to 1 lead welhstand squarefyj on its feet ' and have good feed and '? attention, states Mr. Are'yf. If th|e ' hair is long the animal should be ^ clipped all over about si* weeks , before showing. This gives the I hair twnq to grow back and it will j present a smoth, glossy appearance. 1 Where ,tho hair Is not long the head, |ears, neck back to the shoul- i der (Vjein, the tail setting, and belly ? should be clipped. After clipping the animal should ; be.blanketed to improvr thq qual ity of the hide and hair. Burlap bags sewed together make a veqy satisfactory blanket, says Mr. Ayeg. A good brushing and rubbing e?(ch ' day will stimulate circulation and also improve the appearance pf the hair. About once egch week, the animal should be thoroughly wash ed using plenty of water, soap and elbow grease, he stated. The horns should be scraped with a piece of broken glass or a steel scrape and followed with sand paper. They can then be emothed with a fine emeijy. l or polishing, strips of flannel cloth should be used. Eor the ration during 'this fitting period Mr, Arey recommends a grain mixture of 30 pounds of corn meal, 30p"> inds of crushed' oats,'25 pounds of wn-at bran, and 15 pot|nd's( of linseed meal. If the animal is thin at the beginning of this period, ci small a-ro'.i,: of ready mixed mo lassos feed may be added to th.' grain ritiocr. This will put the animal in good condition for show ing he says Condition Cotton Before Ginning _______ | Cotton delivered to the gin nroper condition will pay an extr profit to the grow" Extremely wot or dry. cotton i? hard to gin and means a loss to grower, ginner, buyer, and consumer. "Savings of from CO cants to as high as $5.00 a bale have been made on cotton through a^dlcjal drying," COtton G^' engineer of the U. ?? ning Laboratory at St one videos. Imt cost of this drying is from to to 90 cents a bale, depending Upon the moisture content." Mr. Bennett points out that th moisture content varies wttti th different regions. Cotton "om'the Mississippi Delta has an excessive content while that'from dryland i-egiona is sometimes too dry for S beat ginning. The laboratory is now working on the problem findi,? the desirable amount of moisture for all regions, he states^ Where the cotton '? dr'?i plantation, growers should ha ginned as soon as It is in proper condition. Otherwise the cotton will absorb moisture and the g?* " trill take a loss through! imper ' Mr Bennett states that few plant ains have sufficient storage facdi ties for proper drying and for that reason artificial drying is becom [^popular with the larger grower^ The common method of storing;seed cotton on thp porches of tenant house, and under shed, cause, the cotton to become [too wet. Studies in artificial drying were begun ^ the laboratory in 1926 ana Uo driers have been developed which are inexpensive to build and are also wdi suited for use by K grower, says Mr. Bennett.

How To Grow Tbe Broccoli Plant Three different vegetable, known as "broccoli" are now hehig grown in North. Carolina but only two or these are important These are kkiown as broccoli salad and g luiroviting broccoli. "Both of these crops require fe - tile soil and heavy aPP'^'on* 'fertilizer for best results,' aay? E. B Morrow .extention horUculiur let at State College. "Where the fertilizer is applied in the drill rom 750 to 1.000 pounds of a 7-6-5 or other high grade fertilizer should be used to the acre. This should be thor oughly Wxed with the Mil to avoKl injury to tbe plants. When broad cast, aa much as2,000 pounds of the mixture may. be uaed." While the fertilization ia tbe same tor both crops, the cultural me.h ods are entirely different, atttesMr. Morrow. The broccoli salad is a hardy I alant and lor this reason is grown ' for late winter and early spring ' greens in the eastern part ol the State. Experiments conducted at :he Branch Station ait Willard gave jest results when the seed were lown between September 15 and 25. \bout two pounds ol seed are used :o the acre and these are drilled in rows about three leet apart. This Lime and method ol planting ptro- , luces a crop that is ready lor har vesting in February and March. The green sprouting broccoli is frown both as an early spring ana i fall crop. For an early; spring :rop, the plants are started under i coldtrame and transplanted alter he last Ireeze. The plants should be set 15 to IS inches apart in three or three and one-hall loot ?ows. When grown as a fall crop, the seeds are planted in late July and harvested belore the lirst kill ing Irost. This last named flype is new to growers in Norh Carolina and pro duces small .rather loose green heads, saiys Mr. Morrow. Re-Sale of Real Estate Under Deed of Trust.
