George Eastman, multimillionaire bachelor of Rochester, N. Y., inventor of the roll-film camera, committed sui cide by shooting at the age of 78. He had been in poor health and said: “My work is through, why wait ?” Here’s A Ten-Plank Farm Platform The following ten planks have been adopted by The Progressive Farmer Ruralist as its platform—for Southern rural progress—a platform which ev ery Southern farm family would do well to consider:— 1. Richer lands for every farm. 2. A home of beauty, comfort and convenience for every family. 3. A "Blue Ribbon Farm Family” in every home. 4. Modern equipment for every worker. 5. Club work and vocational train ing for every child. 6. Every crop from purebred seed, every animal from a purebred sire. 7. Support of farm organizations, farm and home agents, and co-opera tive marketing by every family. 8. "Equality for Agriculture” in every form of legislation, taxation, and education. 9. "Full gardens, corncribs, smoke houses and feed barns to insure a good living at home plus at least two mon ey crops and an important cash in come from cows, hqgs, or hens” as the business policy of every farmer. 10. A love of the country com munity, of church and school and Sun day school, of ^country things and country sports and recreations, of books and music and art, to enrich and enable life for every individual. Gives Five Rules * For Red Clover There are five definite rules, which if followed strictly, will nearly al ways bring success with red clover. These five rules as outlined by Fnos C. Blair, extension agronomist at St ite College, are: First, be certain that the soil is sweet enough for the crop. This means lim ing at the rate of a ton to the acre for the average soil; but, soils which have been well limed may be kept sweet by much smaller applications, applied ev ery four or five years. Second, use the right kind o>' seed. The germination of these seed should be at least 8 5 percent and the purity at least 98 percent. There should be no obnoxious weed seeds such as plantain and dodder. It is preferable that the seed be grown in the eastern part of the United States. Home-grown seed is all right if clean. The foreign-grown seed sold mostly now by local dealers should always be avoided. These seed are often subject to disease which wipes out the stand when all other condi tions are favorable. Foreign seed may be identified by the bright green stain which the Government inspectors in ject in‘o each sack when such seed en ters this country. Third, always drill clover seed on small grain with fertilizer. The grain drill distributes the seed much better than by hand sow ng and only 5 to 6 pounds an acre are needed for a stand when this method of planting is used. Putting in 100 piutids of superphos phate or basic slag with the 'eed helps them to start quick';,. Fourth, sow the clover about March 2 5. After this" date there is little like lihood of freezing weather. Such freez es as that of the past week will kill clover. The date given is also early enough to give the clover a start in growing before hot, dry weathe-. Fifth, do not depend on a volun teer stand of clover. Seed is too cheap now to risk failure from such a cause. Annual Farm Gathering Planned For Late Summer The North Carolina State Farmers’ Convention will be held this year dur ing the week of August 2 9 to Sep tember 3, about one month lat;r than usual so that the gathering will not conflict with the tobacco harvest which is in full swing in eastern Car olina during the last week in July. Decision to change the date of this meeting was made by State College of ficials following conferences with Convention leaders and because of the discussions last year about the meet ing date. Boys’ and Girls’ Club week Newest Rose Eleanor Holm, Olympic swimming champion, is showing the new ‘Olympiad" rose, exhibited for the first time at the International Flower Show in New York. will be held during the week of July 25 to 30 when 4-H delegates from the various counties will gather for their annual short course. $15,000 PAID FOR BOUNTIES ON WILDCATS Augusta, Me.—Steel traps have clicked a cash register song through out the State of Maine during the past year, reducing the number of wildcats by nearly 1,000 and enriching the trappers to the extent of nearly $15, 000. The forest felines, wildest of the wild creatures sought by sportsmen, as elusive as shadows when stalked by the man with a gun, have suffered heavy casualties in traps because of a weakness which they share with hu mans—the desire for something for nothing. When roaming the woods in search of his natural food, live game, the wildcat enjoys comparative safety, for his habitat breeds no animals capable of engaging^ him in combat and he is gifted with uncanny ability to sense the presence of and evade his most dealy enemy-man. TV 1 11 1*1 1 • JL) U L L11C LcIWIiy UIlLdHldUlC, 1HVC 1115 two-legged foe, usually finds the Jure of "something for nothing” most dif ficult to resist. Thus the success of trappers on capturing the game that se'ems to meow in derision at rifles and shotguns. Thus the cash register song, echoing along the traplines, a dirge for the cats, but a joyful chorus for those to whom it means "shoes for the baby.” Each time the jaws of a cat trap snap together the State parts with $20 in bounty money. The cat, snarling in rage and pain, has his fury aggravated by the discovery that the bait—food which he had attempted to seize with out earning it through the usual stalk and kill, "something for nothing”— is just beyond the reach of his paws. Records of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Game show that during the year 1931 the number of wildcats trapped was 873. Until July 31 the bounty was $10, but on August 1 it was doubled. The claims was $13,110. In addition to this amount paid to those proving bounty sum the trappers received more than $1,700 for the pelts, an average of about $2 each. Much of this money went to men who turned to trapping for a liveli hood when unfavorable economic con ditions deprived them of earnings in the usual occupations. Wildcat catching became an im portant factor in the relief of trying conditions brought on by the business depression. Penn Stamp Urged For Anniversary Philadelphia — A commemorative stamp honoring the 250th anniversary of the landing of William Penn in this country has been urged by historical societies in Pennsylvania. In a petition to Postmaster General Brown, the societies stated that, due to the fact plans are now under way to make the 250th anniversary of Penn’s landing a commemorative year, a stamp should be issued. Penn landed in America on Novem ber 7, at New Castle, Del. After a few days he then came to Philadelphia, but it is not known exactly when he arrived. Observance, however, will extend much later than the actual landing date. The anniversary which has been set for October 24, will be commemo rated in public schools and other insti tutions in Pennsylvania.
