CANDIDATE SEAWELL OPENS CAMPAIGN Charlotte, Oct. 6.—Free text books for North Carolina children and lower taxes for the farmer, busi nessman, merchant and manufactur er, and a reduction in the number of employees on the payroll of the State government, will be advocated bv Herbert F. Seawell of Carthage, republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, who Monday opened his campaign, when he spoke ift Lumberton. Mr. Seawell asserts that taxes in this State have increased 168 per cent in the last decade, and that the mimb<*»* f'* ''mnlovees have in creased all out of proportion to tb increase in per capita wealth of the State. In his addresses in the 50 coun ties of the Coastal Central, Piedmont and Western sections* of the State Mr. Seawell will, according to his announcement made here, advocate also the shift of the burden of schools from counties to the State govern ment, where, he says; it is placed by the State constitution. In advocating these policies of reform in State government Mr. Seawell will be assisted by Jake F. Newell, of this city, Mr. Seawell, it was explained at State republican headquarters here, is unable at this time, due to having undergone re cently a severe operation, to deliver a lengthy address and will relie on Mr. Newell to carry the burden. THE CHATHAM RECORD BUILD MANGUM TERRACES TO CONTROL SOIL WASHING Raleigh„ Oct. s.—ln one Piedmont county; of tforth Carolina-90,000 ac res of land have “been permanently ruined by erosion and in another county of the Coastal plain, 70,000 acres have been gullied beyond re pair. Yet this damage could have been averted by terracing the land. “We have two kinds of erosion in this State,’’ says A. T. Holman, agricultural engineer at State col lege. “One we easily recognize as gullies causing heavy damage all ev er the State and the other is sheet erosion which removes a small depth of soil from an entire field. In North Carolina, 88 per cent of this erosion occurs in the four months of June, July, August and September. In some cases we have found that the top soil in many cotton and to baceo fields will be washed away in 50 years if some protection is not given. Grass sod, on the other hand, will prolong the life of the soil several thousnad years. Cultivated slopes can be -saved fii only one way and that is through the use of terraces.” Mr. Holman states that erosion not j DR. J. C. MANN <► !! the well-known <[ EYESIGHT SPECIALIST o !

Three times as much fertilizer is needed to produce a crop on a clay subsoil as on a loam or clay loam soil. To rebuild an eroded top-soil takes a good deal of time, much Work and money. The value of the plant food lost through erosion will exceed 200 million dollars' annually in the whole United Spates, estimates Mr. Holman. The Mangum terarces is the best known means of controlling erosion on North Carolina farms, said Mr. Holman.
