Formerly they celebrated the month of roses by planting some in the garden, now they go down to the drug store and huy some arti ficial ones for their cheeks. A Grain Harvest Rumor Corrected / Raleigh—Many complaints and inquiries have bdne made to the Department of Agriculture, Coun ty Agents, and local agricultural teachers concerning the rumors that a prohibitive license is to be madd for each threshing machine operated this yidar. While no license fee or charge is to be made, each operator is re quired by State Statute to procure a license card from the County Register of Lfedds before he may begin threshing this summer. With this license card is given a free record bodk for recording threshings of each farm. This book may be kept by the operatoi for his future reference. The Department of Agriculture is simply striving to aid thresh jermen in keepinig good record' iwhich, in turn, will help with the I email grain and peanut official county allotment figures. A far mer will do well, therefore, to be sure that the machine threshing his crops is licensed, apd that a full record is made of his acres, as well as threshed productions. The popular idea on graft is not so much that it should be abolish ed, as that more people should get their share. ‘ Parade of Events Before the News Cameras WASHINGTON . . . (Top),.

Traveling Around America Photo Grace Line— " " \ -^~V> <. '*•■! SKY VIEWS OF THE ANDES SPECTACULAR views like this make the flight across the Andes pne of the most thrilling air trips in the world. The route' commencing at Panama, runs down the west coast of South America and from Santiago, capital of Chile, crosses this mighty mountain chain to Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, and Monte video, capital ot Uruguay, over or between the most beautiful of the Andean peaks, many of which tower 20,000 feet above sea level. This cordillera, which forms the backbone of South America, for cen turies has made communication be tween coasts extremely difficult. Al though the overland distance be tween Valparaiso and Buenos Aires is less than 900 miles there was a time when the only way to travel be tween the two ports was to go by sailing vessel way down around Cape Horn, or by steamer through the Straits o£ Magellan which shorten the voyage by one thousand miles, or to follow the mule trail overland across the icy peaks—any one of these trips consuming sev eral weeks. Then, in 1910, the Trans-Andine Railway was opened which cuts the time to 37 hours. Still later the sky route was initiated which, with its luxurious Panagra airliners, has cut the time to eight hours and has become the Trans Andine route most favored by trav elers taking the weekly 'Round South America cruises from New York and California. legumes In Rotation Increase Crop Yield! The almost universal value o: legumes for building up differin' kinds of soils is being attested b) reports from ovdr the State of in creiased yields when legumes ari rotated with other crops. Two farmers of differeht sec tions in the eastern part of th< State have recently given a gooc example of how their productioi has increased when legumes weri utilized to improve soil fertility. B. B. Howell, of Edge|comb< county, rotates lespedeza with cot ton. peanuts, and oats. In 1933 ht made 31 bales of cotton following the growth of Mspedefea as com pared with 22 bales in 1932 on tht same acreage. In 1932 the cotton followed peanuts instead of lespd deza. In 193 3 he harvested 1.671 pounds of peanuts per acre, after the( soil had bean built up with lespedeza, while in former years he had averaged about 970 pounds to the acre. He statxfcl, "The rotation,' bears out fully my argument that I can make just as much produce on the land with two years’ cultivation with lespedeza as I could with three years’ -cultivation in thiej old way. I thus save the expense of one yelars’ cultivation and produce the unit cost of production.” In 1929, Ralph C. Mason, of Hertford county, decided, that he wante higher yields on fewer acres. That year he started a rotation in which Vettch was turned urider for soil improvement. Now he sows and turns under 35 acres of this crop every ytfar. "Before I began my rotation,” said Mason, "I did well to mak4 12 bags (48 bushels) of peanuts to the acre. Now I can easily make 18 bags (72 bushels).’’ He also said that it is much more satisfactory to farm in this way than to have the pleasure of cul tivating a large acreage* of low yielding land, as he did formerly.] NEEDLE KILLS MAN New York—Falling asleep while he darned his clothes, the needle with which Nemiso Santiago, a widower, was working became e)rlged upright in the mattress. When Santiago turned in his sleep the needle was driven ijhto his hpart, causing his death. Was Marcus Polo a monumental liar or a truthful historian?
