A NOTE IN THIS MORNING’S MAIL FROM MRS. D. B.
Hamrick of Kings Mountain, brings another interesting
animal story. This Mrs. Hamrick, I believe, is the same good
friend of the column—tho we don’t know each ohter person
ally—who has on previous occasions contributed the story
about the “cat hospital’’ between Kings Mountain and Shelby
at which stray and homeless cats are cared for, and the story
about Doris White of Kings Mountain who was unusually
successful with making friends with the birds last winter
during the snowy weather.
Today’s story again concerns
Doris, who must have a Pied Piper’s
charm for animals. This story is
about one of her pets, an Eskimo
Spit* puppy, an affectionate young
fellow, to which she became much
attached. However, as pets have a
way of doing after they have
wormed themelves into your affec
tions, she had to be disposed of,
when she became afflicted with
running fits.
Dotia wept over the loss and de
clared she’d **get Trixie back,” and
failed only because she couldn’t
ffnd her pet. Sometime after Tri
xie's departure, her young mistress
discovered another puppy so like
Trixie that she decided it must be
’’one of Trixie's children.” So ,in
fact. It proved to be and the “child"
seemed as moeh drawn to Doris as
she to ft.
tt formed the habit of coming
out: to meet her each afternoon as
she passed on her way from school
and finally, capped the friendship,
by going to her classroom at school
one day, picking out her desk and
taking possession et It, while the
child was tn another part of the
room. And there he seemed deter
mined to stay until teacher “turn
ed Mm out” as she did Mary’s

A good example of the colored
person’s gift for imitating is the
way the maids about town copy the

the term. ta poisoning effects are
due to its ready combination with
the oxygen-carrying element of the
blood, to the exclusion erf the vi

The victim of carbon monoxide
poisoning is more asphyxiated than
poisoned. This accounts for the res

likely to be suffered by those who ;

State Adapted
To Hog Growing
Says Specialist
North Carolina is well adapted to
hog production, according to Earl
H. Hostetler, professor of animal
husbandry at State College.
The State has many advantages,
he said, and three are particularly
outstanding: temperate climate,
nearness to market, and a good
supply of protein supplements.
In the temperate climate, each
sow can farrow two litters of pigs
each year without her owner hav
ing to provide expensive housing
during these critical periods.
However, some housing is nec
essary, Hostetler said, to protect
them from the cold and rain in
February and March and from the
heat in August and September, the
two best farrowing periods.
From practically any place in
eastern North Carolina, he conti
nued, hogs can be shipped to Rich
mond or Baltimore In 36 hours or
less, and this is a distinct advan
tage.
Producers living farther away
from the markets have to pay
more transportation charges, and
the hogs undergo heavier shrink
age in transit. Eastern markets also
say higher prices than those In
Chicago.
Com is the cheapest and most
satisfactory carbonaceous feed for
rattening hogs, and plenty of com
is available in this State. Last year,
more than one-fourth of North
Carolina’s crop land was in com.
Machines for knitting circular
stockings were invented in 1816.
The first knitting machine in the
United States was smuggled into
this country in 1818. burled in a
cargo of salt. England, in order to
protect her knitting industry, had
made it illegal to carry a machine
away to another country.

TRIAL OF DENTIST AT
WINSTON IS CONTINUED
WINSTON-SALEM. Oct. 36.—(JP)
—The trial of Dr. Ralph C. Flow
ers, Winston-Salem dentist charged
with complicity in the holdup of a
dental warehouse in which $700 in
Dental gold was stolen, was resum
ed in Forsyth superior court today.
Officials said it was likely the
case would not reach the jury until
some time tomorrow since, they be
lieved, today would be consumed in
the presentation of testimony.
The dentist denied any part In
the holdup.
Leroy Blackman, a negro indicted
as the gunman in the case, pleaded
guilty, and was called by the state
as a witness against Dr. Flowers.
In 1865 cotton sold at 43 cents a
pound, which is believed to be the
highest price established during
the Civil War period.
LINCOLN FARMERS '
MAKE SUCCESS OF
ALFALFA GROWING
Agent Morrison Says
Proper Methods
Are Used
Ten years ago very little alfalfa
was grown in Lincoln County. Now
It Is one of the foremost hay and
soil-building crops, said J G. Mor
rison, county agent.
At first, fanners planted small
patches here and there, but as they
learned of its value and gaindd ex
perience in raising it, they plant
ed more and more.
Now it is not unusual to see
large fields of alfalfa. It makes a
good hay, and large quantities are
harvested, Morrison stated.
Lincoln fanners found that pro
per preparation of the soil and
good fertiliser are essential to suc
cess with this crop.
First, they plough the land deep.
Some suboil it, with the ripper
penetrating to a depth of 17 to 20
inches. Then they rip it both ways,
going 10 Inches deep.
Then they apply two to live tons
of agricultural lime to the acre and
cover the land with stable manure,
well disked into the -soil. After j
each rain, they go over the land
with a drag harrow to keep down
grass and to conserve moisture.
The last week in August is the
best time to plant in that county.
The farmers use 18 to 22 pounds of
Grimm or North West seed that
has been inoculated, going over
the field both ways with a cyclone
seeder.
Then they run a culter packer
over the field, and in about a week
there is a good, thick, even stand.
By late fall it is six to ten inches
tall and has a good root system.
Winter freezes do not kill it easi
ly and the next spring and sum
mer it produces four to five cut
tings of hay.
Once seeded, a field will Stay in
alfalfa for four to seven years. One
acre will feed a mule for a year,
and mules will do good work on
alfalfa hay, Morrison stated. “Our
farmers say their alfalfa fields are
the most valuable land on their
farms.”
