Tngwell Is Confirmed
Washington, June 14.—The sen

Tug^well knew enough about farm

pay and the title of under-secre

his nomination for that position
after conservatives in both parties
attacked him as “a very handsome
gentleman who would starve to
death if he had to make a living
on a farm.” Tugwell was promoted
from assistant secretary of agri
culture. Confirmation of the for
mer college professor and leading

N«wtm, June-18.—Sheriff O.

Sato^^ called off his six depu

was established' Tharsday after
noon on the farm of R. L. 8htt>
toM fire miles west of Newton,
preparatory to ejeetment pro
ceedings against Shoford and
son. instigated by the Oreens-
boro Stock Land Bank ot Greens
boro. The Sheriff’s action fol
lowed a hearing earlier la the
day before Jndge Wilson War-
Uek, in whteb he appointed a co-
receiver,* George West, deputy
sheriff.
Six deputies established camp
on the farm late Thursday after
noon under orders ot Barrs fol
lowing the serving of papers on
Shuford and his son. The Sheriff
expected trouble and placed his
men on the farm. Then tension
was somewhat eased with the ap
pointment of the co-receiver.
At a hearing Wednesday be
fore Judge Warllck, Jenka Har-
rin, representative of the
Greensboro bank was named re
ceiver and all present help on
the farm were ordered discharg
ed. Harrill took over the man
agement of the farm Friday
morning.
Shuford, badly shaken np over
the prospects of losing his 465-
acre farm.on which he bad spent
his life, remained in bed during
these proceedings, but was re
ported to be up Friday.
Fifty feet from where the
deputies stayed stood a large
barn which housed ouq of the
largest and finest and most fam
ous Jersey herds in the south.
Several years ago this herd was
valued at well over $200,000

A number of court battles have

SmS-DR^ING EASLY _
FOR BEST RESULTS
Best results will be obtained
when com is side dressed eariy.
according to the results of experi
ments made by toe agronimiy de
partment of toe North Carolina
expetimeni station at Raleigh.
This crop absorbs most of toe
nitrogen u^ in the production of
seed daring the early period ofLthe
plant’s development. Usually com
should be side dressed when knee
high. ^
Many fanners have been misled
by toe fact that late applications
of nitrogen are effective in increas
ing the yield and color of stover,
but this does not mean that the
maodmnm yield of grain is ob
tained.
If a good growto of legumes has
been turned under before planting
the com, the amount of side dress
ing needed will be much less-
On light lands 100 to 126 pounds
of nitrate of soda per acre will
pro'vide all the side dressing need
ed under average normal conditi
ons. From 75 to 100 pounds per
acre is enough for sandy loam
soils. Heavy sandy loams, clays
and similar soils require only 60
to 76 pounds to the acre.
Only readily soluble forms of
nitrogen should be used; such as
nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammo
nia, leunasalpeter, calurea, calni-
tro, and other inorganic sources of
nitrogen.
With weather conditions favor
able for the crop, Irish potatoes in
eastern Carolina are growing well.
Digging began in Beaufort county
last week.
