1HE GLEANER GRAHAM. N. C., AUG. 27, 1931. I8BUBD BTBBY TH DEB DAT. J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. S1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. BnUr?d at toe Postoffloe at GraOem, .IV o.. as woouo-oIah matter. COTTON The cotton situation is bewilder ing. Everybody has a plan. Gov. Gardner wants the Presi dent to convene congress to do something about it. The Legislature of Louisiana is in session for the purpose of legis lating against planting any in that state in 1932, and maybe long er. A bill has passed its first read ing unanimously to prohibit plant ing. The Governors of North and South Carolina are requested to call special sessions to take action. Other states may do likewise. The situation is tragic, to be sure, but legislative prosperity is a myth. The farmer knows the situation better than anybody else. He stuck his hand in the fire last year one time too many and it is not believ ed he will do it again. He needs a cure now, but why cut his hand ofT? County Budget The school budget for Alamance county is not ready to be passed, upon by the County Commission ers, due to the fact that it has not yet been approved by the Commis sion in Raleigh. Supt. Yount has it ready so far as his office is concerned, but there are differences to be reconciled, hence the delay. It Is the desire of the Gleaner to publish both the County and School budget at the same time, and the publication of the County Budget is being held back until the School Budget shall be ready. The Lindberghs have reached Japan and the reception given them was fit for royalty itself. Col. Lindbergh's solo flight to Europe still stands out by itself as a feat in aeronautics. Carl Ooerch, according to his communication this week, is bid ding for a place on the commis sion for the regulation of head gear. Lest The Gleaner might be Included In a blanket charge for publishing a too liberal allusion, to an article of the Ex-Secretary of the Navy's apparel, It now offers Its opologies. Hoovervllle is said to'be the name of a town near St. Louis, Mo., com posed of citizens who have been ejeeted on account of being unable to pay rents. The residents of this new borough live in houses built of discarded goods boxes. The town has an organized government with a mayor. To say the least, the name of the town and its con struction smacks of irony. After about one month's hearing the trial of former U. S. Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee, Luke Lea, Jr,. and W. B. Davis, president, ,were convicted at Ashevllle Tues day of conspiracy to defraud the Central Bank and Trust Co., of Ashevllle, of $1,131,000. The elder Lea gets 8 to 10 years In State's prison, the younger Lea gets 3 to 8 years or a line of $28,000. Davis was given 4 to 6 years. Notice of appeal has been made by all the >. defendants. Major L. P. McLendon ) of Durham, former Solicitor of this Judicial District, ably assisted the State In the prosecution. Two QwweU County farmers In theidronght area last season report ed recently that they had canned over ISO cans of fruits and vegeta bles on their farms this season. They are typical tobacco growers Chatham County will produce much of its own leepedesa seed this sessnn according to harvesting plans now befog made. At lease bos half of the seed needed for | planting next year will be saved eohoaso farms. L ? JUST ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER By Carl Ooerch Along with the depression, the un employment situation and :hecr me wave, it is time that something was done ahout Josephus Daniels' hats. Mr. Daniels is a high-toned. Chris tian'gentlemain ; a statesman who has served North Carolina and the nation well; a newspaper ed tor an t a writer of great ability ; an affable, courteous and friendly individual whom it is a genuine pleasure to know.but I consider that his laste in hats isofsuch an outrageous na ture that something drastic ought to be done about it. It is oneofthte important items which the Wickersham Comm.sslon completely overlooked. Take his winter hats, for example. They're kind of low as to crown, flat on top and of rather wide brim. Solid .black as to color. Not a snap py, flashy black, but a gloomy black that makes you think of Democra ,c election returns in New Hampshire. It doesn't- make any difference what the prevailing fashion may be as to the general run of men's hats, Mr. Daniels never varies his style Other men may come out with pearl grey felts rakish derbies or spoit 1 >0*11 a :nps but the formersecrc cary 01 the navy pays no heed ; he sticks to the same old black hat. Man/ of his friends, who have bis best interest, at heart, have talked to lum anout this important matter but be rbtolultlt disregards all sug gestions and advice. 'A hen he gets to heaven he won t be satisfied with the ordinary, eve- ., day run-of- heaven halo; he'll proo ably insist on having one made up to look like thy*. old black bars thai he used to wear back here on eaith. When summertime comes, he sheas the sombre looking headgear ana blossoms forth in a straw. Not a panama, or a bankok. or a milan, but a plain, old-fashioned straw. Tbe kind that are marked 98 cents and can usually be purchased for 49 cents. All of us were down at Roanoke Island last week, celebrating Vir ginia Dare's, 344th birthday party, although everybody said she didnt look\ a day over 342. Mr ? Daniels was there along with the rest of us. He and his straw hat. it looked as though he might have tied a a ring to it and let it drag behind his car all the way from Raleigh to Manteo. It's an interesting looking ha-.. Sticks straight up behind and falls all over itself in front. Sometimes be carelessly puts it on backward and then there is a marked resem blance to Napoleon standing on the shores of St. Helena. At other limes be lays K down on a table, and then there is a marked resemblance to a ben's nest One of these days, when he puts it down that way, a hen is go.lng to come along and lay an egg in it, and then everybody's going to be surprised. However,interesting as his straw hat is, it can't b^gin /to compare with the old black bonnet with the black rfbbon on It which he wears during the Winter months. Thd. band ol black ribbon, by the way, serves two purposes. For the first six or seven years of the hat's existence, the band helps to hold It toge.her. When this is no longer possible, Mr. Dan iels dismantles the headpiece, cuts off the ribbon and use it for a neck tie. You've probably noticed those neckties of his. After he has worn them for three or four years ana they begin to get rather frayed, he makes use of them as shoe-laces. It's a great system and one which merits the appreciation of everyone who is interested in originality, ana economy. Sheep Have Place In Carolina Farming. Landowners seeking sources of additional income and a market place for surplus forage and other feedstuffa may turn to sheep tin the farm flock basis. "Farm flocks of sheep may be put Into advantage particularly in eastern North Carolina where there are few sheep at present,'' suggests John E. Foster, animal husbamd -man at State College. "The low price of cotton, damage by boll weevil and the need for more bal anced farming methods is already causing many alert Carmera in this section to add a few sheep. There are few farms on which there is not<.some waste land, home pasture or some extra forage crops which may be used to advantage In feed ing sheep.'' Foster says the native ewe lambs riiay be crossed with pure bred rams to build up the flocks to where the lambs will be heavier than their dams. These cross-blooded lambs will glso have better quality wool and a closer conformation to type. Farm flocks developed in this wa> may provide spring lambs for sale to the nearby markets furnished by the large cities of the Base. Sheep fit well on any general farm, believes Mr. Foster. They glean from the fields that whics would otherwise be wasted ano they keep many injurous weeds under control. In eastern Caroli na the flocks may be grasert throughout the year by 'urning them on cover crops after the sum mer pasturage has ceated to furnish -sufficient grazing. A good ram atati a Ilock of native ewes may1 soon be turned into a profitable investment on any Caro lina farm, believes Mr. Foster. Calf Club Members Offered Real Money Farm boys and girls who are en rolled Jn the dairy calf project of 4-H club work are being offered over $5,000 in cash premiums oi .various kinds at fairs and shows this fall. \ "The offering of these liberal cash premiums is stimulating great in terest in the dairy calf projeo'," says L. R .Harrill, club leader at State College. "In addition to the cash, a number of gold and silver medals and other valuable tropn ies are also being offered. By w.n ning these trophies, the calf dun member not oily gets great per sonal satisfaction from his work but his animals receive attention from breeders and others interested in buyvtB 'good cows.1' Mr. Hanrill looks for the calf club show at the Stalte Pair this fall to again be a feature of the wees The show will be housed In a largv tent *and arrangements are being completed now to have a Junior live stock banquet on Friday evening. October 16, when all the awards foi this work will be announced. The State Fair la offering $101 in cash and valuable medals to those 4-H club members who show their ani mals and win places for show manship, fitting and judging. Any club member who has been actively engaged in calf club wort this year may compete for the prises to be awarded. Mr. Harrill says more than 1,000 boys and girls are eligible for the competition a. the present time. Of the $6,000 in cash offered as rewards for the work, the Ameri can Jersey Cattle Club offers a maximum of $34 a county for club shows. The State Fair offers about $600 supplemented by another $600 from the Jersey and Guernsey Associations. The Occidental Life Insurance Company of Raleigh is offering a two-year scholorahip at Static College worth $000, says, Harrill News of Whitsett. Whltsett, Aug. 25. ?

Letters have been received tell ing of the safe arrival In Iowa of the party of four who left here two weeks ago for a visit to several of the western states. Mrs. Donnie I. Davenport who has been here on business for sev eral days will return to Wake county tomorrow to make her home with her son, Rev. R. K. Dav enport. ? For the past few weeks there has been an epidemic of petty thefts from gardens and fields through out this section, of corn, melons, tomatoes, and vegetable crops. Chas. E.

Misses Emily and Ruth Hlnshaw will have charge of a special meet ing of the Whltsett Christian En deavor society next Sunday eve ning with "Missions" as the topic for the occasion. ALAMANCE COUNTY FARM NEWS Cattle Buyers Visit County Mr. O. E. McMahon, Lee county farm, agent, accompanied by a group ol Lee county farmers spent Friday of last week in the county for the purpose of buying regis tered Jersey cattle. Purchases were made from Mr. Harry 8tout of Snow Camp, and Mr. Rufus Woody of Snow Camp. The party was very much pleased with the cat tle they saw and expect to come back in the near future for more.

C. Loy and others cooperated with their agricultural teacher, Mr. J. W. Bason, in buying a carload of ground limestone. This lime was unloaded at Graham last week.

Pure Bred Jerseys Have Paid This Man Mr. Rufus Woody, prominent farmer and Jersey breeder in the southern part of the county, has bred up a herd of seven pure bred Jersey females from one cow pur chased thirteen years ago from Ohio. The offsprings from this one cow include ten heifers which Mr. Woody has sold within the past twelve years, five bulls and six others which he has in his herd now, to say nothing of the butter fat and milk that has been sold from them. Through the use of a good bull Mr. Woody Is constant ly improving th etype and pro duction of his cattle. Tobacco Curing in the Northern Part of the County Has Been Considerably Delayed by Recent Rains. The quality of the crop has also been damaged. As usual, during wet seasons tobacco diseases are beginning to be very prevalent. Un less seasons are very favorable Jt is possible that the quality of the leaf will not be as good this ..year in that section as last year.
