The purpose of the association is to bring together the furture Christ ian Ministers into a unit for social and moral purposes. The association is doing some fine work in these above- j mentioned fields and with its Presi dent, Edward T. Plitt has succeeded ; admirably. The number of members have increased two-fold and the pro gram otherwise has been enlarged to 1 a greater degree. j cl ROWAN ! If ABM ) GLEANINGS By w/g. YEAGER County Agent The autumn weather has been rather unusual in the extended drought and many farmers have hesitated to seed fall grains hoping for a seasonal rain, but no rain in sight and the • season will soon be late for seeding fall grains. All land that can be pre pared for seeding should be done so as rapidly as possible. The wheat market out look has improved very much in past sixty days, giving encouragement to increase the fall acreage to this crop. Oats will be seeded most of the winter months, and with reasonable safety by using the Norton variety. All of the low yielding cotton land should be seeded to small grain this fall or winter and then to some of the clovers or grasses next spring. Many Rowan farmers harvested 3 5 to 60 bushels of oats this summer and are now harvest ing from 10 to 20 bushels of Korean lespedeza seed per acre. It does not take much figuring to show a profit of this combination over a low yield ing cotton crop. Some one has recently stated that cotton is only 42 per cent of prewar price, while meat animals are 79 per cent, dairy products y) percent anu poultry products 110 percent of pre war prices. These columns will fre quently refer to the live stock farmer as being enviable position and the above figures strikingly bear this out. The lowest price on feed grains in several decades - makes the livestock opportunities all the more attractive. New Corn is changing hands in the country under 40 cents per bu. and good quality hay is abundant on every side. Hogs and beef cattle are both safe feeders on the present market outlook. Take hogs for instance; a 35 lb. shoat will put on 160 lbs. of gain in approximately 135 days, consum ing 470 lbs. of corn, 50 lbs. wheat shorts and 50 lbs. fish meal or tank age. If fed in in a self feeder, produc ing live pork under 5 1-2 cents per lb. at present feed prices, including cost of the pig. Barley or rye can be substituted for on half or two thirds of the corn if desired, in fact, feed ing to hogs is the most practical market for rye when not used for seed. The rye should be ground or soaked and preferably fed in slop mixture. Caution should be exercised in feeding rye to bred sows. The question of pruning the scup resident r—.. .. 1=— .. . I EDWARD T. PLITT ■!{ ■!! •!! *!: •!>' . •!: lernong vine comes up every year and asually comes after the season for iruning has passed. All pruning of :he scuppernong should be done this month and early December. Many of :he old scuppernong vines of the county would be greatly improved n bearing by a judicious pruning, re moving all dead vine and part of the lew vine where the vines have become massed. The scuppernong is one of the finest fruits to be found in the state and should be growing on every farm in the country. In the next few sveeks is the time to make the trans plants of scuppernong vines, and lundreds of Rowan farms should plan :o get a start of scuppernong grape tune this fall. Our Costal Plain Experi ment station at Willard, N. C. has a shousand more different types of the scuppernong and also has done extens ve work in training and pruning the scuppernong vine and makes the fol owing recommendation; In starting s new vine there should be^ four caders developed and these placed on trellis in a quadrangle and thus de elope for five or six years without tuning. At this period one of the our main ars of the vine is removed nd replaced by new growth the fol iwing year. The following year an ther vine is removed and at the end f another five years the entire top las been renewed and the harvest of, ;rapes continues year after year. Plant scuppernong grape vines during the lext 30 days and other fruit trees ind vines from then on to February l. LABOR NEWS By F. T. CORNELIUS, Secretary lalisbury-Spencer Central Labor Union However unpopular it may, be vith some, the labor movement will never cease to function. In many instances it stands alone advocating humanitarian measures-laws which bring no direct benefits to the mem bership it never falters. It has been deceived and betrayed, both within and without, but it goes on and on preaching the doctrine of justice to those who make the wheels of com merce and industry revolve. The voice of its enemies grows weaker as the years pass, and in many localities can scarcely be heard. , CENTRAL BODY TO HAVE SPECIAL MEETING Monday evening November 23 rd. was selected by the delegates assembled at the Central Labor Union at its last regular meeting, as the evening to be set aside for a special meeting. The regular order of business will be dis pensed with and the evening will be devoted to a study of educational problems.

However it was the expressed S intention to co-operate fully with any :9 other enterprise of this nature that j may., develop in the future. ^ 1 .ROBBING LABOR S During these times of depression in 9 the midst of plenty, one hears a lot about some employers wanting to cut wages. It makes one wonder where are 3 those who have been admiring Abra- 15 ham Lincoln during the past few 9 decades? They seem to have forgotten 3 his great poem which runs as follows, ! and is as true today as then: !; All that serves labor serves a nation, j; All that harms labor is treason. No line can be drawn between these j: V tv VS* M If any man tells you he loves his § country, yet hates labor, he is a liar. g If any man tells you he trusts his 38 country, yet fears labor, he is a fool. $ There is no country without labor, ^ and to fleece the one is to rob the 38 other.
