Sorghum molasaes has become »
war crop, now that sugar is being
rationed. Dan F. Holler, assistant
Extension agronomist of N. C.
State College, says tliat Zeb Nor-
ville of Rutherford County is one
of the heat sorghum molasses-pro
ducers be knows'anything dxmt
The Cane Creek section • e#
Rutherford, in whkh Mr. Norrflie
lives, has long had a fine reputa
tion for the quality of its molasses;
Practically every farmer in tho
community grrfws enough cane for
molasses for his home needs, and a
few extra gallons for sale.
Mr. Norville consented to give
other farmers over the State the
benefit of his experience. “I
have been gT'owing and making
molasses ever since I was large
enough to be around a cane mill,”
the Rutherford farmer said.
"Last year I planted 1.7 acres
of Silver Dip molasses cane, and
from this acreage produced 370
gallons of molasses and 50 bushels
of cane seed. The surplus molas
ses sold for $1.00 per gallon, and
the seed brought $1.76 per bushel.
Thus, the 1.7 acres of cane was
worth $457.50.
‘‘The cane was planted between
April 20 and 30. Six hundred
pounds of 4-12-4 fertilizer was us
ed at planting time, and when the
cane was about knee high, I ap
plied 600 pounds of nitrate of so
da. A special cane plate was used
in the planter, which gave a spac
ing of about 8 inches in the row,
and which placed about three seed
per hill. By using this plate, it
was not nece.ssary to do any thinn
ing. The rows were spaced three
feet apart.
‘“The crop was cultivated three
times, the firsrt and second times
with a one-horse, three-foot, walk
ing cultivator which was equipped
with small shovel plows. The first
cultivator was shallow and was
made when the stalks were three
to four inches tall. The second
cultivation was made two weeks

an associate related today.
“The navy made public an
eyewitness accounts of Bennion's
heroic death by a junior officer,
who reached his battle station
beside Bennion Just after the bat
tleship commander had been hit
by a bomb splinter. It follows;
“He was lying severely woun
ded and still conscious on the
signal bridge with the top of his
stomach laid open. I was the on
ly officer with him, and he was
very anxious to know how the
battle was proceeding and wh;ti
action our own ships had taken.
“I kept him informed as much
as possible, and then, in the ab
sence of morphine, I attempted
to give him ether.
h remained with him about
one-half hour and moved him In
to i| shelter, but he refused to be
moved from the bridge or in‘o
the conning tower for protection.
“Later a senior officer arrived
and attempted to direct his re
moval from the bridge or In o
the conning tower but Captain
Bennion again refused and insis
ted upon remaining there. A
pharmacist’s mate arrived to ad-
ministed as much first aid as
possible. When all of us on the
bridge had been cut off from be
low by fire, it was again sugges

moved from the ship but he re
fused and it was necessary be

to take him up to the navigation
bridge just aibove the flag bridge,
where he ^remained un‘11 his
mangled body was removed later.
“He wanted most of all to
know how the battle was proceed
