THE GLEANER 1 GRABAM. N. C., AUG. 25, 1932. IBBCID ITKBT THLE8DAT . J. O. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. ?st?r?d at trie 'iftofflc* at Graham. .N O.. aa aat- . .-clai" uiatier Mr. Hoover has taken on an other secretary?already h a d more than any of his predec.es oers ever had. Just fighting un employment by making a job J for one more at the rate of S or 10 thousand per year, perhaps more. The extra cent on tho gosoline lor postage stamp will help to pay it. A1 Smith has turned editor. He is to rejunivate "The Out look" which was founded by Henry Waid Beecher. It will sail under the name of "The New Outlook." The first issue is to appear in October ? a monthly?non - partisan?non sectarian.. It will flourish? for a while, at least. The annual State Farmers' convention will be held at State College next week, opening Monday. The advanced regist ra tion indicates therejwill be 2,000 or moro farmers and farm wo men in attendance. A group of interesting speakers for the convention has been secured, several of these coming from other states. It is hoped Ala mance will be well represented. Cotton and tobacco selling at better prices is cheering news. These are primarily money crops. Their production is lim ited to certain areas and does not embrace the country at large. With the advance in these, stimulating buying pow er, it is reasonable to expect an advance in the prices of farm products generally. When that happens, and not before, prosperity may be sighted at the corner. The only depend able prosperity must be based on a reasonable return to the producer?the alpha?the foun dation. m . I lax payers in many counties are clamoring for lower taxes, that they may make ends meet and keep from being 3old out. They are asking for a reduc tion in governmental expenses ?cuts in salaries, elimination of unnecessary employees and cutting costs everywhere possi ble. Some have willingly taken a reduction in pay, while others whose cpmpensation is fixed bv statute are resisting demands for reductions. In some coun ties where concsesions are re sisted, it is plainly intimated that the matter will be carried to the Legislature or a change in county officers made. Bishop Cannon, now in Lu rope, takes a long range shot at President Hoover. He isn't at all pleased with Mr. Hoover's pronouncement on prohibition in his acceptance speech. The Bishop was a lime-light oppo nent of A1 Smith in 1928. At the same time he was as vig orous in favor of Mr. Hoover who passed up the prohibition question as a "noble experi ment". It was a straddle, but he sat steady and rode in. The Bishop, chief trumpiter of the prohibition cohorts in the South, is conceded to have done no small part in turning Southern support to Mr. Hoover. At this time the Bishop, who claims to be a Democrat, finds himself without a candidate in either of the major parties that he can support and make his influence felt. He is chagrined. 1 > News Note:, of Week on Alamance Farms. ? t Prepare For Kj lot; (Grazing Now. Dairymen should make ample provision this fall for early graz ing next spring. After the cow j has assed through the winter largely on dry teed, her digestive system longs for an appetizing succuient food, such as can be se cured from a good temporary pas ture. This feed is not only ap petizing, hut it is also very nu tritious and is oue of the most ecouo nical milk producers that the dairymen can provide. The supply of home grown ro tghage on the average North Carolina farm is usually exhaust ed about the fiist of March. This is especially true on the farms without Silos aud where only a small number of cows are kept for cream production. These cows are usually turned on per manent pasture when the hay gives out, regardless of the growth ( of the grass or the condition of | the soil. Such a practice results iu great damage to the sod by the cattle tramping it while the soil is wet aud before the grass roots get a good start. Besides the damage to the sod the quantity of food nu trients secured by the cows from the short, watery grass is small, not enough to replace the rough age portion of the ration. By providing temporary graz ing for March aud Apr 1, the cows can be kept oil "f the permanent pasture until III grass has made a good growtli and the soil is dry enough so that the sod will not be injured by tramping. In the past Abruzzi rye has been quite generously used as au early spring grazing crop, how ever, a mixture composed of the small graius will give more aud better grazing per acre than any one. The following mixture is recommended for seeding one acre: one-half bu. Abruzzi rye, one-half bu. beardless wheat, 1 bu. Norton oats, 1 bu of beardless barley aud 10 lbs. of crimson clover or 15 lbs. of hairy vetch. For early grazing seeding should be done by the middle of Septem ber. If fall growth is rapid, it will be necessary to graze during the late fall aud early winter to prev. nt the rye and barley from winter killing. Heavy seeding and a fertile (-Ml are necessary for the best res. Its An applica tion of four to five bunc.-ed lbs. j of a high grade fertilizer should j be applied pe- acre at seeding time. Two to .s of ground lime stone per acre will also be highly beneficial, not only to the growth of the crop but also to the value of the feed in that it will contain more lime, a much needed miner. 1 in milk production. Care should be exercised in grazing temporary pastures when the soil is wet, especially if it is a clay soil which puddles easily. In order to prevent injury to such soils by grazing when wet, it is advisable to cut and haul the feed to the barn for feeding on rainy days. The acreage needed per cow to furnish grazsng until the first of May will depend largely upon the productivity of the soil. On good land one-half acre will produce sufficient feed for oue cow aud a good amount of material will be left to cut for hay or to turn un der for soil improvement. Lexpedeia Helps Corn. One of the most outstanding demonstration in soil improving, is lespedeza turned in the soil on the farm of O. C. Stewart,-Snow Camp. Mr. Stewart seeded lespe deza onvfive aeres in the fall of 1930. This lespedeza was closely grazed by both sheep and cattle during 1930-31. The land was brolceu the winter of 1932 and planted in corn t f.s spring. Mr. ! Stewart states th t he used prac Itically no fertil zer to this com l but in spite of the dry weather it will make an unusually good crop of corn. Most stalks have two good ears. During the present dry spell when most corn turned I yellow, this held of corn held its , green color throughout. \rw Soil Improving Crop Rotation started Five farmers adopted soil im provement cropping systems for their farms this week under the supervision of Mr. E. C. Blair, I Extension Agronomist, State Col lege. These rotations embrace the farm as a unit and call for the seeding of a success on of soil J improving crops on the land dur ing the year. These rotations have as their aim the building up jof the firtility of the sod, the prevention of soil erosion throngh I the keeping of n ost of the land on the farm in soil .mproving crops, the bet'er utilization and m..nage jment of the farm lands, and the I keeping of reco.ds on each farm. The following farmers started these projects this week: Mrs. J. I. Chandler, Burlington R. F. D., J. Walter Johnston, Burlington, R. 5, E. May, Bur lington, L. E. Guthrie, Saxapa haw, R. F. D., and R. B. Troxier, Altauialiaw. There are now thirty of these projects under way in the county, most of which were started since last fall. Poultrymen Will keep Record* Fourteen Alamance county poultrymeu have pledged them selves to the keeping of definite e <sts and production records on their farm flocks. The poultry record keeping year will start October 1st. C. F. Parrish, Extension Poul tryman, who spent two days last week in the county, supervised the beginning of these projects. A poultry meeting was held at the farm of Mrs. L. B. Walker last Thursday afternoon. Twen ty fivo poultrymeu attended this meeting which was held for the purpose of instructing farmers in belter methods of housing, feed ing and care of poultry. Alamance County Jersey Herd Makes Good Record The Fair View Dairy Farm Jer sey herd, owued by J. A. and John Aldridge of Haw River, av eraged 31 pouuds butterfat from Coo pounds of milk for the mouth of July. Tnis purebred herd of sixteen Jerseys is in the Ala mance - Chatham Herd Improve ment Association. It is the scc-| oml highest producing herd iu the State iu official testing work for iho month of July. Through the use of proven purebred sires, rigid culling, and good manage ment, this herd has always madeS a high production, leading the eutre State iu production in 1930. The purebred herd of V. T. Woods of Graham was second in production iu the county and in the association for the month of July, averaging 24 pounds of fat irom 22 cows that month. Alfalfa Pays Wlieu H. A. Garrett, Burling ton, R. F. D., put over $125 in a five-acre field last year in seeding alfalfa, the cost including lime, fertilizer and seed, some of his neighbors told him that it would be a long time before he would get his money back. However, Mr. Garrett has already harvested tons of alfalfa from this field. Pricing this hay at the lowest poeible price per ton, $15, his in vestment has already brought him $180 and there will be another cutting of hay to take from this field before winter. I Purebred Jertty Han fourteen Calves. While visiting the farin of 0. C. Stewart we saw the old foundation Jersey cow that Mr. Stewart pur chased from Ohio some years ago. This old cow has been a remarka ble producor of off-spring as well as butter and milk. She will freshen again within a few days and will drop her 15th calf. Mr. Stewart estimates conservatively that he has sold at least 81000.00 ' worth of calves of this old cow toj say nothing of the uiilk and but ter she has produced during tbisj period. Adopt Soil Improve Die nt Rotation On two farms in the northern j part of theconnty owned by S. F. Scott and operated by Messrs. W. B. Brooks and Arch Bowland, a soil improving rotation has been under way siuce last fall. This rotation was adopted for a two fold purpose, the building up of I the fertility of the soil and the! control of tobacco wilt. As a part of the rotation program lespede zs, cow peas, soybeans and crim son clover have been planted on these farms this year. I'rotert 1.1 \ r*tur tl The grounding of wire fancesl at intervals of about 150 feet will save livestock in the field from possible death by lightning, ac cording to specialists of the L*. S. Weather Bureau. Both galvan ized iron pipe and steel angle are good for this purpose. Galvan ized iron pipe should be cut in pieces about 5 feet longer than the wooden fence posts, driven into the ground close to and level with the posts, and fastened to them with plumbers' clips. If steel angle is used, substitute a metal post for a wooden post about every 150 feet. Drive the metal post well into the ground. Plow t'nder or Destroy Tobacco stalk* i Tobacco growers should plow under or destroy tobacco stalks just as soon as harvesting is fin ished. Tobacco stalks which are left in the field for second growth after harvest serve as food and breeding ground for millions of Insects which go into winter quar tero healthy ami well fed, coming | out the next year.to cause tre mendous damage. If the entire neighborhood would cooperate in this progam, tobacco insect dam age could be reduced tremendous ly. This is the most important control measure and the cheapest for tobacco insect pests. The growers all over the state should by all means put this into practice. This is a good farm measure and is cheap. Those who carry out this program will notice re sults the first year. If entire communities will cooperate in carrying this out, tobacco insect pest damage will be reduced to a minimum. Iu addition to destroying, the plowiug under of the stalks will aid materially in gettiug the laud iu condition for plantiug winter cover crops, a practice which should be put into use on evsry farm. ^V, N. C. SHIVER, County Agent. Good Gardens Help Feed the Family j t^aii ana winter Garden Letter The recent dry weather dam aged most garden crops consider ably but that August is here, it is time to get ready and plant fall and winter gardens. If the ground has not been well | plowed recently, give it a good breaking and harrow it until it is in a well pulverized condition, so the seed will germinate promptly and grow rapidly. Stable manure, if not too fresh, is always good for a garden. Broadcast it before harrowing the laud. Heavy applications of com mercial fertilizers should be ap plied broadcast before harrowing. Remember that plants cannot grow without plant food. If you want your vegetables to grow fast so that they will be crisp and ten der and make large yields, then you must prepare the soil well and fertilize it liberally. This is important. What to Plant. Bunch snap beans properly planted right away will be ready for use in from six to eight weeks or before a killing frost comes. Rutabagas and turnips should be sown on a good rich soil by the 1st of September. Later plantings rarely do well. Plant Irish-, potatoes in August. Radish and other root crops should be planted in September. For salad, such things as mus tard, kale, rape, lettuce, spiuach, swiss chard, salsify and tender green should be planted now and and a later planting made the middle of October. Cabbage and collard plants should be set now. Be sure to make a goodly plant ing of carrots and parsnips now for use in December aud January wheu other vegetables are scarce. Plantoniou sets in September and October. For best results keep the garden soil well cultivated from now on through October or later if mois ture conditions permit. Stirring the soil helps to make the plants grow better. Let me know if I can help you with your garden or with other things that you are interested in. J. W. Jeffries, Local Agent. Only Best Cows Pay Their Way. Cow-Testing or Herd Improvement As sociation Teaches How to Select Those Animajs The North Carolina dairyman making money on his herd at this time is the person who kuows how to feed, how to cull low-pro ducing cows, aud how to raise the best calves from the highest pro ducing animals. The best way to find out about these things is to have a cow-testing or herd im provement associatiou in the community. Fred M. Haig, Associate Dairy man, gives five sound reasons why dairy farmers should associ ate themselves into such an or ganization. First, he says, a cow-testiug as sociation takes the guess out of dairying and puts the herd on a business basis. Nothing will point out the low-producing cows more quickly or accurately than a pair of scales and a Babcock tester. Second, by knowing what each individual cow is producing, the dairyman may cull out his un proli able or boarder cows, for i boarders can sxm place a herd in the loss column. Third, yearly figures will show from which cows to save calves so 1 as to build up a high-producing herd. Fourth, members of au associ- 1 atiou receive benefits from buy- < itig and selling collectively. Fifth, the aid of the official I1 tester will help the dairyman to feed his. cows more economically ' and to cut down overhead ex- < penses. , \ v For three years I'rofossor Haig was teeter for a herdi improve ment association which was com posed of 24 dairymen 'nod fiOO cows. Daring that time the cows gained 24 percent in their produc tion of milk and 32 percent in production of butterfat. The profit above cost of feed was 197.52 greater per cow in the \ third year than it was in the tirst year. This increase was secured ilespite an increase in feed prices at that time. Mr. Haig says the small cost to sach dairyman in such an associ ation makes the investment well worth while from the staudpoint at money returns alone. News of Whitsett. Whitsett, N. C., August 22. The, members of the East Burling ton Presbyterian church held their annual picnic here Saturday after noon. Rev. S. M. Rankin of Greens boro is pastor of this church, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. B. Wheeler had as their guests yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Rankin Wheeler and son, .Rob ert, of Winston-Salem,'and Mrs. Rosa McFarland and Mrs. Jenette Grain ger of Wilson. Prof. J. H. Joiner made an address Sunday morning before the congre gation of Priedens church. W, E. Rowland suffered very pain ful injuries one day last week in a well which he is digging near Clapp's store in this place. He was in the well when the large bucket containing several heavy tools fell a distance of about twenty feet to -the bottom of the well, and in the fall struck him a glancing blow. While his injuries have been very painful, fortunately, there seems to be no permanent injury. On Sunday morning Dr. W. T. W hitsett was the speaker at Sharon Lutheran church, Gibsonville, tak ing for his topic "The Day of Op portunity." Rev. D. D. Holt and Rev. Harold A. Gross closed on Friday evening a successful and well-attended series of services in the Whitsett Metho dist church lasting all last week. Large congregations were present each day at S P. M. and 8 P. Mi The boys and girls and young men and young women were organized into special choirs and helped to furnish excellent music throughout the services. A number from this place are planning to attend the Holiday re union at Spring Friends church on route 93 south of Graham next Sat urday, August 27th. The annual Coble family reunion was held last Wednesday at Coble's church, four miles west of Kimes ville. with an interesting programme for the day. Mrs. Arnold L. Holt and son of Burlington spent yesterday here with friends. There is great sorrow here over the death of Dr. M. L. Kesler of Thomasville in an automobile ac cident Friday night. He was one of the most useful and beloved men of the entire state. Misses Katie Dick and Cathie Hin shaw were the leaders for an inter esting meeting of the Whitsett Christian Endeavor society on Sun day evening. L. S. and E. T. Ingle have begun the building of a lake and large fish pond on the Ingle farm near Sprin'gwood church. The Sedalia Singers of Sedalia, N. C. have been secured for a special musical programme to be given in the Gibsonville High School audi torium at 8 P. M. on the evening of Friday, August 26th. These singers have won wide recognition for their excellent work. . Rev. Wm. Redd Turner, who was formerly pastor of Springwood arid Bethel Presbyterian churches, has been awarded a fellowship in the school of religion of .Vanderbltt Uni \ ersity, 'Nashville, Tenn., and will be there for the coming year.

' An especia'ly handsome filling station and camping grounds is just being completed on number 10 high way eaBt of here, \ \ ? All feed crops such as peas, soja beans, etc. have greatly suffered from dry weather. Corn has also been badly damaged. JUST A MOMENT The moment has no mirror of self-, consciousness. Travelers seek a nonexistent hybrid of abroad and home. Disowning of faults takes the form now of denial, now of repentance. Our only sure power over the future lies In the traits of character we Im port Into It. How disconcerting the shallowness of what we once thought so deeply subtle. We are always given a chance to re trieve our faults, but not the conse quences of them. Sometimes through thwarting our selves, sometimes through self-satis faction, we develop and attain. When we have found our own per sonally helpful gossip, we are no long er at the mercy of the world's claims and clamor. One's ideals are In their nature the antithesis of one's life, being the meas ure of one's self-dissatisfaction.? Stephen B. Stanton, In the Washing ton Post. , A Lincoln county farmer, sold 80 bales of alfalfa last week to a rab bit breeder near Charlotte. The al falfa acreage in Lincoln is being steadily increased. One cooperative carload of limestone was recently ordered for the crop. ADMINISTRATRIX'S NOTICE. All persons holding: claims against the es tate of P. D.
