France has not yet paid her annual installment on the War Debt due the United States on Dec. 15th.

Prune Peach Tree For Open Center. The open-center or vase shaped tree i9 the desirable form for shaping the peach tree under 'forth Carolina conditions and this 3hape should be given to the tree as early as possible after jn inting the young tree in the orchard. In giving the desirable form for the peach tree, E. B. Morrow, ex tension horticulturist at State Col lege, says the pruning at trans planting time should consist o f heading back the tree to a height of 24 to 30 inches and cutting 'back all side branches to one bud each. This will cause the young tree to put forth some vigorous shoots dur iag the first season's growth and will permit a selection of branches for building the framework of the tree. The main branches bf the young tree may be seh eted bv pinching the young shoots as they start, or i the framework may be decided upon j at the regular time for winter | pruning. At any rate, select 3 or 4 shoots from 6 t > 8 inches apart arrant 1 around 'he main trunk in such a way that a well-balanced tree i? secured. After the second season's growth. Mr. Morrow advises selecting 2 or 3 strong lateral branches on each of the main branches to continue developing the framework <?," ibl i tree. Pruning after the third s?a ! son of growth will be to continue the building of the framework of ! the tree by selecting two or three I side branches on each of the secon I dary branches left the year before. Thin out the rem ining limbs and head back those that are left to I outward growing branches. Peaeh | es should be pruned moderately un til the trees come into full bear ing, Morrow advises. ! it rains, otherwise they will take 1 cold. Plenty of le;; ime hay 'is all the feed they wlU need. The breeding herd of b?ef cattle should be fed on a cheap ratilrfn which will maintain their weight. The fanner who has plenty of green forages In January is to be commended. Provide a good warm bed for this will save feed. Feed the bred ewes about one half pound of grain per day and as much legume hay as they will clean up. Keep the brood sows in thrifty ' condition, but do not make them too fat. For fattening beef cattle, fee i not more than one pound of cotton seed meal for each 100 pound's of live weight. Poultry Provide the breeder* with a well balanced ration, and ample sunny range. Mate ^reeding pens about two weeks i a advance o f securing hatching eggs. | Vee one male to each 15 hens in Mediterranean breeds, one > to li [ in American and English breeds. ' Repair brooder house and g e. brooder stove ready for use. | Plan to secure some egg>s or chicks f-om high producing etock for floe a improvement. Prevent the apn ad of colds in the flocks by using one-thir-* tea | spoonful of potassium permangan Good Cabbage Seed Pays Handsome Return The adoption of the Reed's strain of Danish cabbage by growers i n -iro mountain counties during the t season increased the income the growers by $10,000 over that ;red from the use of ordinary seed. For every dollar invested in the improved sood a return of $25 was secured. "This is a return not to be re garded lightly," says H. R. Niswon ger, extension horticulturist a t State College, who was responsible for Introducing the new strain of cabbage into North Carolina. "The income would have been increased still further had the past season not been So unfavorable for cab bage production in th*x late pro ducing region. In Jackson County alone where the new seed are be ing extensively used, the value of the increase at a seasonal price of $11 a ton amounted to about $5000. This is more than the county has invested iD the farm agent's salary for the past four years." Mr, Niswonger declared that the Reed's strain of Danish cabbage has yielded from 1.5 to 6 5 tons a a acre more marketable cabbage thap ordinary seed. One of the largest yields reported to him was that by A. C. Holt Of Highlands in Macon County who grew 14 tons to the acre. It is not uncommon, however to secure a yield of 20 tons an acre when good seasonal conditions pre vail and fertile soil is used for yhe cabbage field. Approximately 600 acres werepiyt to late cabbage in the nine western counties during the past season and of this acreage 360 were planted to the Reed's strain of Danish cab bage. Mr. Niswonger began the work of Introducing this new strain ibout five years ago and is pleas ed with the progress being made. "Jays Trench Silos Cheap and Efficient The "experience of 39 North Car ina farmers with the cheap "and easily constructed trench giloa s o far this season has demonstrated that these silos will serve an im portant place with the small dairy farmer who keeps a few cows as n farm sideline. The dairy extension office at State "ollege first advocated these silos after a trip of inspection by P. K Farnham in early July. After Mr. Farnham had seen the silos in some ' 'her states, and had talked with e farmers owning them, ho was nvinced that such a type of silo t Uht have a place in this State. IfB then prepared a sketch of asi lo and sent the information to the county farm agents. As a result, 39 were constructed during thelat t?r part of the summer1. Some of these have been care fully inspected in recent weeks and in every case the silage is keeping perfectly. The saen who own the silos say they would never have had the succulent winter feed now available had it not been for this type of silo. One of the principal advantages is the low cost of con struction, averaging less than $1 a ton capacity. No blower is need ed to put the silage in thetrencli and this in itself cut9 the cost ma terially. As a result of his observations, ! Mr. Farnham declares that the trench silo is the answer to the Question of how ^he small dairy farmer may have an abundance of succulent roughage for winter feed ing and he looks for a rapid ex pansion in building this type next summer. Mo9t of the trench silos constructed last summer were in the piedmont and mountain ares. Haywood and Cherokee counties led and in every case th^ farmers owning the silo9 are well pleased with the result being obtained, he says. ate to (Bach gallon o f drinking water. Find a reliable source o( hatch ing eggs or baby chicks for I n rrea*ing or improving the flocks this year. Provide the flock with green feed or supply finely chopped alfalfa hay. Repair the brooder housts and make other necessary arrange - ments for the year. Get your Incubator read y for an < arly hatch for broilers. Keep records during this year on ' your fJocks. Give the breeders free range and feed liberally to insure good pro duction and strong embryos. Buy chicks for broilers from re liable hatcheries and avoid long distance shipments in cold weather. Slaughter of Millionaires Raleigh Times Belated figures of the Bureau of Internal Revenue in Washington make a graphic chart of the rout of the army of mUlionares. Thus, while in 1929 there were 513 of these aureate personages in the country, in 193:), the number had dropped to 150. At the sam? time it is announced officially that yearly final reports for 1931 show that this class has been reduced to a measely 75, while, as well known, the casualties have been growing in the last twelve month9. It is to shudder to think of the millionaires of the United States brought to something like the size of a corpor al's guard. As to North Carolina, in 1930 we had only one person who was listed^as a millionaire! Note must be taken of the dif ference in the meaning of the word as used by the bureau and as it is commonly employed. Thus, (the common people speak of any man who owns approximately $1,000, 000 worth of property as a "million aire." But suctr a locally pompous person is to the Bureau of Inter nal Revenue just a dealer in chick en-feed. When it classifies a man as a millionaire, it means not that he has a fortune of ten hundred thousand dollars, but stuff which returns him that amount in annual income. All the same, we are wondering what has happened to the "hundred millionaires" of Winston Salem! The Klondyke Guernsey herd in Surry County averaged 448 pounds of fat per cow for the past year, reports county agent J. W. Craw ford. This record includes dry cowg as well as those in production. Live at-Home Program Must Again Be Followed The outlook for prices for a 11 farm crops next season means that again the North Carolina farmer must plan to grow hit crops as economically u> possible and must follow the live-at-home plan if he is to weather the coming year. Ralph H. Rogers of the depart ment of agricultural economics and Charles A. Sheffield, assistant ex tension director, attended th' re cent outlook conference at Atlanta and then with the aid of ail gov ernmental information prepared the outlook for conditions In this state next, season. This material has been studied by workers of the School of Agriculture and is now being printed for distribution to farmers of the State. The idea is to let the growers have the fasts so that from them, they may plan their enter prises next season. ?While the outlook is distinctly discouraging for most crops and livestock next year, still, sho'J|d there he an upturn in business con ditions, tobacco and peanuts may show a better price. Cotton can not move to much higher price le vels unless there is a decided in - crease in the takings by textile mill s. There is a need for more feed in the state and the piflco of goodgeed is low which should encourage t.ie planting of more legumes and of high grade seed of the general farm crops. The price for hogs and beef cattle will remain low apd there should be no expansion i n dairying except for local market where the need exists. The same thing applies to poultry. North | Carolina still imports eggs and but jter Negroes Battle Police To Save Black Rapists While the Supreme Court was considering the case of the seven Scoitaboro negro rapists, radical sympathizers attempted to picket the building wherc^the justices 8;it. The result was a series of clashes with the Washington police, in which many were hurt and fourteen arrested. The hut less and disheveled figure on the right is a policeman about to throw a tear bomb. The decision of fho United States Supreme Court, giving a new trttl to the seven young negro men o I Scdttsboro, Ala., convicted i n the Alabama calurts of an attack upon two white women and th s camo as a result of an appeal brought before the Supreme Court through the efforts of the American Civil Liberties Union Th;j is a communist organization used by the communist party to fight couK decisions unfavorable to com munism and to stir up legal bat tles in their cause. The communist party in the Unit-| ed States, through its legal agency, the American Cis 11 Liberties Union, . is carrying on a very determined and adequately financed fight a gainst all laws in Southern states enforcing the segregation of blacks in public schools and on public con veyances, and against the laws pro hibiting the Inter-marriage o f blacks and whites, and against all other laws affecting the social e Quality of the negro. Since January 1st, .1929 the American Civil Liber ties Union has been active in six cases in the North Carolina courts, either in the defense of persons on trial for creating so ill disturbance, murder, etc., or In bringing suits against officers of the law, against whom action was brought as a re suit of the performance of thei. duty in attempting to ke?p the peace. It will be remembered that just prior to the national election o! November, the communist tried to have the names of their presiden tial electors placed upon the officiil North Carolina ballot. This w.t deried them by the State Election Board and the laws of the state. One pf the two candidate! for whom these electors were to cas their votes was a negro Jame* Ford, who had aided in the defense of the Scottsboro negroes. The white man, William Z. Foster, wa arrested during the war for burning wheat fields in Kansas. The creed o? the communist is "No God. no country, social equal ity." Ask Your Representative To Vote For A State Bill Against COMMUNISM To All Who Suffer Stomach Agony, Gas and Indigestion Money Back If One Bottle of Dare'* Mentha Pepain Doean't Do You More Good Than Anything You Ever Uted. Why bother with Blow actors when one tablespoonful of this splendid and pleasant liquid remedy will cause gas, bloating, heaviness, heartburn or any upset condition of the stomach to speedily vanish. And why should any man or woman suffer another hour with Indigestion or any stom.ch misery when the rem edy that acts almost Instantly can be easily procured? But there is more to say abowt this remarkable remedy?something that will interest thousands of despondent people. Dare's Mentha Pepsin not only quickly relieves stomach distress, but It also conquers stubborn Indigestion, dyspepsia and gastritis, and puts an end to ditslneas, nervousness, head ache. sleeplessness and despondency which distressing troubles are nearly always caused by chronic stomach disturbance. Dare's Mentha Pepaln Is a supremely good remedy that druggists every where guarantee?a fine tonic that builds you up and makes you work with vim, eat with relish and aleep I soundly. * Mules will go *o higher prices if crop prices improve because there is a shortage and the mules on farms pow are old. There may be an improved price for stumpage timber. The outlook is not so good for .Improved prices for truck crops, except strawberries. The acreage of sweet and Irish potatoes "should not be increased, tho report will ? ay. Wishing You a Happy New Year. -J Commissioner's Sale of Land.
