Lime And Legumes For Vacant Land While cotton and tobacco farmers are aiding in the fight to remove the surplus of these crops by reducing their acreages drastically during the next two years, the opportunity is of fered to improve the land so that it will never he necessary to plant such large acreages again to obtain equally as good yields. This is the opinion of Agricultural Extension workers at State College who are urging a return to the old slogan of .“Lime, legume* and live stock” this fall. About 95 per cent of the tobacco growers have signed agreements promising to reduce their acreage by as much as 30 per cent of that plant ed during the past three years. Cot ton growers will be offered a rental and benefit payment plan by which the acreage must be reduced by 40 per cent under that of the past five years. This means considerable land removed from the cultivation of cash crops. To make the best of this situation, extension workers are urging an in creased acreage to legume crops this fall. Th advantage of having such crops on the land is well 'known to most farmers tout there is this year the additional incentive of producing seed for sale. Indications are that there will be a shortage of all kinds of legume crop seed and those in a position to grow certified seed which may enter the channels at interstate commerce may secure an excellent profit from the project. The prevailing droughts of summer also makes it imperative to grow as much hay as possible during the win ter when there is sufficient moisture in the soil. Dean I. O. Schaub, director of the, Agricultural Extension Service, says further that it is imperative to save all the legume seed possible this fall, especially of soybeans and leqpedesa.

ADVERTISE TO ROOST BUYING, SAYS JOHNSON Washington.—Advertise and help the public find the goods it needs, is the message to industry from Hugh S. Johnson, Recovery Administrator. Citing statistics which prove beyond all doubt that costs are rising all along the line, the administrator em phasized “now is the time to buy” and urged co-operation in the Imying campaign. v Johnson said factory employment was up 24 per cent during August compared with August, 1932; pay rolls, 40 per cent; steel ingot pro duction, 246 per cent, while business failures decreased 47 per cent. He said: “In view of these developments we pelieve that the opportune moment is at hand for American industry to bend every effort toward increased sales. “In order to increase sales at the present moment we believe that two courses of action are absolutely es sential. They are: First, give the pub lic attractive, up-to-date merchandise, fairly priced, and second, aggressively promote your products to the public. “American industry must help the public to find the goods it needs. The modem method is advertising. The American public looks to adver tising for news of good merchandise and good values.” There is a good local demand for aUjeedLAbruzai rye^harvested in [5TtartSSk JfSSflSnSl?* Mrs. G. P.

Grady Miller Lends Inspiration To Glee Club At University H. Grady Miller, whose job as head of the music department -in the Greensboro city schools was an econ omy casualty, seems to be “fitting in" nicely at Chapel Hill, where he went to join the state university mu sic faculty. In its leading editorial Wednesday morning, the Daily Tar Heel, student newspaper, had the following to say: “In Grady Miller the university has at last obtained a singing instructor who can not only produce results but who is willing and interested in doing his part to revive student spirit at Carolina. “Appearing yesterday for the first time before the student body, he gave a truly masterful exhibition of song direction. Unfamiliar with Memorial hall and a total stranger to the 700 students gathered to learn the new songs, Miller lost no time in getting them intensely in the rather droll pastime of song rehearsal. “The pep and enthusiasm which he himself evidenced seemed to spread over the assemblage and the students, somewhat ashamed, soon sang the two songs with the reflected enthu siasm. Any timidity on- the part of anyone was soon erased by the per sonality of Miller. The 30 minutes passed too quickly and everyone left the building whistling or humming the songs. “A guiding personality, and one that is interested in restoring the lost prestige, is just what the uni versity glee club needs. H. Grady Miller is just the man and the club is bound to climb again to the heights it once attained.”—Greensboro Daily News.

Lame Duck Adoption Of 20th Amendment To Constitution Abolishes This Short Session. Record Is Set In Adopting The Amendments Senator Norris Has Fought Years For Its Passage. The twentieth amendment to the constitution abolishing the so-called lame-duck session of Congress became effective Monday with two unique rec ords in American history. Besides changing the dates for the inauguration of the president and the beginning of congressional sessions, the amendment established a record for being the only change in the con stitution that had the unanimous ap proval of the 48 states. The speed of the ratification set another mark. Sponsored by Senator Norris, Ne braska Republican Independent, the amendment was passed by the senate six times before the House had a chance to vote on it. For a decade. Republican leaders in charge of the House blocked a vote an the' amend ment because it provided' for two in determinate sessions of Congress each two years, but after the Democrats took over that branch in December, 1931, it was approved. It wipes out the age old lame duck session that used to begin on the first Monday in December after the fall elections. Instead, the amendment, first to ibe ratified since that granting suffrage to women, provides that Congress shall meet on January 3, each year and remain in session as long as it pleases. It also moves up from March 4 to1 January 20, the date on which- Presi dents are inaugurated. In the last Congress during Her bert Hoover’s administration, there were nearly two hundred lame ducks, or members of the House and Senate who had lost their seats in the Novem ber elections. Not in the history of the country had there been as many defected members serving hr the two. branches. For many years members of the House and Senate, under the leader ship of Norris, fought for the aboli tion of the lame duck session. They held that those members defeated in the November elections ahoafcj- -aot pass laws .in the lame duck session that continued during the three months from December to Maieh 4. every two years. i Care In Harvesting: Means Better Potatoes Success in keeping sweet potatoes through the winter depends on har vesting the crop before the potatoes are injured in the soil, immediate and thorough drying and ventilating after harvest, and maintaining temperatur es in storage that will prevent cold injury or excessive drying. “We overlook the fact that sweet potatoes may be injured by excessive water in the soil in late autumn when the temperature is too low to allow the soil to dry out,” says Dr. R. F. Poole, plant disease investigator for the North Carolina Experiment Sta tion. “It seems to be a custom to har vest sweet potatoes in this section im mediately following the first killing frost whether this frost occurs in late October or late November. We have found that when the crop is harvest ed between October 10 and October 20, it will keep better in storage than when harvested at a late date.” Dr. Poole says there are some 20 fungi which cause disease and rot of the sweet potato. Some of these will enter the roots whether they are injured or not and when soil condi tions are favorable trouble will fol low. This is why the specialist ad vises digging before the soil becomes water-logged in late fall. It is poor economy, says Dr. Poole, to store any potatoes that are dis eased. Therefore he advises inspec ting the riots before storage. None that are broken or cut should be plac ed in the houses. Good ventilation in the storage house is also advised. Excessive heat is .to be avoided because this not only results in shrinkage but also in poor quality. Washing Milk Vessels Soap does not remove or dissolve the fat left on the walls of all milk containers. An alkali powder will dis solve this fat and should be used. There are many kinds of powder on the market, but, in buying, be sure that it is alkali and soap powder. Where it is impossible to obtain thi3 powder, ordinary baking soda may be used and is just as effective. To Resume Work at Capitol Work on the Capitol Theatre will be resumed next week after a few days delay and the open date will be announced soon. This theatre will make two up-to-date moving picture houses for Aaheboro and will accom modate the picture lovers of this sec tion of the state. Melted fat should not be hot when added to cake mixture, as hot fat is likely to make cake tough, coarse grained and heavy.
