Here’s Corn That
Will Make Money
CORN, being one o£ the major items
produced on American farms, de
serves ample fertilization.
Above we picture a section of the
corn field of B. C. Holland, of Holland,
Va. “Junior” seems as well pleased as
his father with the splendid condition
of this corn.
In this field the rows were side
dressed with Arcadian Nitrate of Soda
which accounts for its perfect con
dition.
While soil conditions vary in differ
ent sections of the South, better corn
and bigger profits will result from side
dressing with approximately 150 lbs. of
Nitrate of Soda about six weeks after
planting when the stalks should be
about eighteen to twenty inches high.
Carefully supervised tests have
proved that net profits are increased
amazingly if this is done.

Perjury Charges Will Fail, It Is Believed
LAWYERS DOUBT
CONVICTION OF
YOUNCE-BRINKLEY
Do Not Think Coroner’s
Jury Was Legally Con
stituted When iDefend
ants Were Sworn And
T estified.
Geo. A. Younce, Greensboro, form
er solicitor, and W. F. Brinkley, prom
inent Lexington attorney, cleared of
charges of manslaughter in Davidson
superior court in connection with the
death of Sheriff James Leonard of Da
vidson, will never be convicted of the
remaining charges of perjury for sev
eral very good reasons, prominent at
torneys familar with this case and
with perjury trials in general, state.
While such attorneys admit that
the two men "told lies,” they remind
that perjury is defined as swearing
falsely to a material fact in an action
before a duly or legally constituted
court, and, with this in view, they say
the perjury charges will not stand, for
several reasons:
1. When Sheriff Leonard was kill
ed, the county coroner automatically
and immediately became sheriff of the
county, and, as such, he was no long
er the coroner, so he had no authority
to hold a coroner’s inquest. His court,
therefore, was not a duly constituted
court, so the testimony offered at the
first coroner’s hearing, not being be
fore a legal court, was not perjury.
2. A coroner’s jury must be em
panneled and sit in the presence of the
body. The hearing was at the office
of the chief of police of Lexington and
the body was not present at the first
hearing. Also, on that score, the cor
oner’s jury was not a legally consti
tuted body.
3. The jurors, composing this first
so-called jury, are said to have been
sworn in by holding up their hands,
not by touching and kissing the Bible,
the legal form prescribed for an oath.
The jurors were, therefore, not sworn.
4. The witnesses, including Younce
and Brinkley, were also sworn by hold
fore, were not sworn at all. It is point
ed out that the higher courts have held
that when a witness holds the Bible in
his hand while being sworn, and fails
to kiss the Book, he has not been prop
erly sworn, so, these not being prop
erly sworn, could not swear a false
hood.
Either of these reasons, it is^point
ed out, is sufficient to cause the per
jury charges to fail, while still other
defects are said to exist in the alleged
evidence against the men.
Farmers Must Plan
For Profits
WHEN selling prices are low, the
only sure road to profits is the one
which leads to lower production costs.
The farmer cannot control market
buying prices. But he can control his
own operating costs and he can plan
to maintain a fair margin of profit.
To reduce production cost (even
though the farmer cultivates fewer
acres) PER ACRE PRODUCTION
MUST BE INCREASED.
This calls for more intensive fertili
zation which will make every acre
under cultivation give maximum re
sults. Since labor costs remain about
the same per acre, regardless of pro
duction volume, increased per acre
production really means a proportion
ate saving in labor cost. Better ferti
lizing means also better quality which
in turn means higher selling prices.
This is not mere theory. It has been
proved over and over again in number
less practical farm tests.
Nitrogen is the growth element in
all fertilizers. Arcadian Nitrate of Soda
used as top dressing or side dressing
supplies this growth element in a
quickly available form at a time when
this type of plant food :s vitally needed.
Only the short sighted farmer will
neglect to give his fields adequate
nitrogen if he hopes to make a profit.
1931 Banner Year
For Ice Industry
Akron, Ohio—Nineteen-thirty-om
was a banner year for the ice industry
despite the increasing use of electric
refrigeration and the depression, ac
cording to Leslie S. Smith, national
secretary of the National Association
of Ice Industries.
More ice was sold that year than in
any other year in history, Smith said.

CHAMBER
OMMERCE
OLUMN
By R. E. L. NIEL
"We will need easy shipping facili
ties and we are thinking of Salisbury
as a location because of its railroad
facilities both to the East and to the
West”, writes an inquirer seeking an
available location for an industry in a
letter received by the Salisbury Cham
ber of Commerce during the past
week. Evidently there is still drawing
power in railroad facilities despite the
inroads made by commercial trucks
taking advantage of improved high
ways, and Salisbury does not have to
take second place to any community
in the matter of rail accommodations
and connections in addition to its ideal
situation on main intersecting high
ways.
The "nibble” for the establishment
of a new industry in this city may not
materialize into a real "bite” but the
fact that there is a functioning cham
ber of commerce to receive and fol
low up such prospects should be an
incentive for renewed and substantial
support for the Salisbury organization
which has been, is and will ever be
alive to every opportunity looking to
the progress and development of the
| community.
"I want to compliment you on the
first issue of The Salisburian after its
period of suspension,” said a well
known citizen to the editor of that
modest candidate for public favor. His
kind words called to mind a few lines
noted in a recent magazine which
read:—
Give tribute to the living, knowing
that
A little compliment about a hat
Is worth more to the soul than great
things said
In solemn, stately tones about the
dead.
Speaking about "prospects” there
has been an exchange of no l^s^chan
rliret. l^rt-orc lnt-^lv witV. «
CJhio about Salisbury and Rowan coun
ty. In the last letter received l|y the
Chamber of Commerce dated March
31st among the questions propound
ed was "Have you had any bank or
building & loan failures in the past
two years?” Again is Salisbury fortu
nate in being able to assure the writ
er of the letter that not only has there
been no such failures in two years nor
in five years. Another question pro
pounded by the inquirer was "Is there
a Presbyterian church in Salisbury?”
And still again this was an easy one
to answer with the two fine Presby
terian churches here and one in Spen
cer to say nothing of the several in
near by localities. Information on
schools and colleges had already been
supplied and Salisbury can well boast
of its educational institutions and ad
vantages.
It won’t be long now until Salis
bury takes on its dress of green; until
stately oaks, graceful elms and maples
make leafy bowers of street and yard
and vari-hued roses fragrantly adorn
each walk and bed. Already tiny
shoots peep forth, certain harbingers
of Spring, and give promise of the
beauty and attractiveness to come. Of
Salisbury can be said what Rev. De
Witt Talmage denominated the home
town of the writer, "It is a City built
in a Park.” Visitors can but find the
charm that exists here, and particu
larly in the spring-time. So bounti
fully blessed by nature, surrounded by
so fertile a section and peopled with
the very finest of God’s creatures can
there be any doubt of the ultimate fu
ture of this community? What if lean
years come? Certain it is that lean
years also go and Salisbury and Rowan
county will march on leading the ci
ties of the Old North State and the
new South to greater achievements and
lasting prosperity.
Over in Salisbury’s sister city of
Charlotte April, has been termed "Loy
alty Month” for the chamber of com
merce. It is proposed that 400 new
members be given that organization
during the month. Every month should
be "loyalty month” in Salisbury for
support and encouragement of the
Chamber of Commerce. Something
like an even hundred new members
pledging their confidence and aid to
this organization would enable the
new administration to carry out its
ambitious program and would un
doubtedly rebound to the benefit of
the whole community.

Lack Of Hay Is
Poor Dairy Farming
A hay mow filled with nothing but
air by March 1 is too common an oc
currence in North Carolina and is fatal
to success in dairy farming.
"A dairyman had better have too
much hay than too little,” says John
A. Arey, dairy extension specialist at
State College. "This means that a good
acreage should be put to legumes dur
ing the spring and summer so that
each cow will have at least two tons
for feed next winter. Some of the cows
may not need all of this especially if
they get plenty of other feed but it is
best to have a little hay left over by
the end of February. The difference
will be seen in the milk pail.”
Mr. Arey finds from his work with
the progressive dairymen of North
Carolina that those who have a bal
ance on the profit side of the ledger
usually provide plenty of hay. To do
so will keep the cows from the per
manent pasture befoe it is ready. When
a pasture is still soaked with winter
rain and the grass is nearly all water,
is a poor time to turn the cows on it,
Arey says. To do so will ruin the sod
and cause a decrease in growth of grass
later in the summer. Then, too, the
grass early in the season has little food
value.
What We Need
Standing beside the grave of the Un
known Soldier, President Coolidge said:
"We do not need more national de
velopment;
We need more spiritual develop
ment.
We do not need more intellectual
power; •
We need more spiritual power.
We do not need more knowledge;
We need more character.
We do not need more government;
We need more culture.
We do not need more lav.';
We need more religion.”—Ex.
The Shipping Qualities of
Tomatoes j^fovcd-Pileog
|N TESTS conduced by the West
* Tennessee Experiment Station, to
mato plants that received heavy ap
plications of Nitrate of Soda in ad
dition to mixed fertilizer made high
yields and produced as well fruit of
improved shipping quality.
A commercial shipping test was made
to a receiving point in the North,
where they were examined The fruit
from the heavily fertilized plants were
found to be superior.
Growers have long recognized that
side-dressing with Arcadian Nitrate of
Soda brought increased yield. Now they
know that fruit of good shipping qual
ity which obtains better selling prices
calls for heavy fertilization.
Today much of the responsibility for
promoting the welfare and prosperity
of our state rests upon the shoulders
of banker-leaders n. each community.
They can favorably mduence the in

guidance in r.e vital problem of ferti
lizing crops.
This season more than ever before
bankers are recommending the use o
the American-made Nitrate of Soda
This product by innumerable tests ha
proved its real value and since it i
made in this country, employing Amei
ican labor, its use by farmers aidt
in promoting American prosperity.
