FIELD MEETING
HELD NOV. 13
Field Meeting and Fertilizer
Demonstration Held on
Farm of Mr. W. E.
Lewis
A field meeting and fertilizer dem
onstration conducted on the farm of
W. E. Lewis by the students of vo
cational agriculture of Cool Springs
High School, November 13th at 3
o'clock, was well attended and very
interesting. The test plots had been
harvested by the students and their
results showed that profit of a lit
tle over 37 per cent resulted from
adding a side dressing of nitrate of
soda at the rate of 200 pounds per
acre when the corn is about knee
high.
The students had piled the corn at
the end of the rows in each of the
5 plots and Mr. Homer H. B. Mask,
fertilizer expert from Raleigh, con
ducted the discussion. The 5 plots
had been fertilized as follows: Plot
one, 200 pounds of acid phosphate
and 100 pounds of cotton seed meal
per acre. This plot yielded 17.8 bush
els of corn per acre. Plot two. The
chepk plot, had no fertilizer at all
and yielded 13 bushels of corn per
acre. Plot three; 200 pounds of ni
trate of soda, yielded 21.6 bushels
per acre. Plot four, 250 pounds of
acid phosphate, 25 pounds of muriate
of potash, with 200 pounds of nitrate
of Soda added as a side " dressing
when the corn was knee high, yield
ed 27.6 bushels per acre. Plot five,
used the same formula as four ex
cept 300 pounds of nitrate of soda
[was applied. Its yield was 27 bushels.
Thus, the experiment showed that
1 plot four is the best formula for this
section. 200 pounds nitrate of soda
side dressing pays. The gain being
10 bushels per acre over the'common
fertilizer used. The students are well
pleased with the results of their test.
Mr. Mask showed in his discussion
the relative merits of the kinds of
fertilizer and the value of quickly
available nitrogen to growing crops.
Mr. Mask was assisted in the demon
stration by J. M. Osteen, district
supervisor of Vocational Agriculture.
An estimating contest was held, at
which the persons present estimated ;
the yield of corn from each plot. 6
prizes were given by the Chilean Ni
trate of Soda Educational Bureau to
the persons estimating most accurate
ly. The first prize of $3 was won
by Billy Avant, a first year agricul
tural student. The other five prizes
of $1 each were won by W. G. Lewis,
John Watkins, Hoyle Kennedy, J. S.
Morgan, and George Avant.
About 30 farmers and boys attend
ed the meeting.
TWO COUNTY FARMERS
SUFFER INJURY TO EYES
i
Rutherfordton, Nov. 19.—Two
Rutherford farmers suffered severe
injuries to their eyes in far removed
sections of the county during the
past week, one of them losing sight
of his eye permanently, in two freak
accidents.
W. H. Waters, of Rutherfordton,
R-3, ran down a hill int« his yard to
scare a chicken hawk away, and
bumped into a clothes line, which
struck him in the eye. He was treated
at the Rutherford hospital, and it is
believed that the sight will be sav
jed.
While driving a nail, A. R. Queen,
of the Union Mills section, lost his
right eye, when the nail glanced and
struck him in the face. Mr. Queen
was rushed to a Charlotte sanitarium,
and is improving, but it is feared he
will not see again from the injured
eye.
Mr. Queen's son, Earl, lost an
eye exactly one year ago, when a
piece of . steel flew into his eye
while he was at work.

I his friends. Although 54 years of age,
:he is rugged of constitution and is
! expected to round out a full period
?of useful and happy old age."
j Early has been a problem to
| state and nation for a quarter vf a
| century. At times he has slipped
'out of the hands of the authorities
; and roamed the country. His cun
! ning industry and will power gave j
I him a nationwide notoriety. Last'
1 year he escaped from the national
j leper home at Carville, La., and
' made his way to his old home at
Tryon, in Western North Carolina j
J where, for a time, he defied those i
who sought to send him back to.
j the institution provided for him,
land others Buffering from leprosy. |
j For several years Early was j
treated here by United States |
health service experts, but in 1921
he was transferred by special ar
i rangements to Louisiana, where he
'has been since, except when dodg-j
J ing about the country. {
• Early was tl-eated with Chaul
j moogra oil. He rebelled against his
(fate, the routine of the painful 1
• 0 |
treatment, the discipline of the in- j
fctitution, and the segregation of
himself and other lepers, and de
serted the place occasionally, in
defiance of interstate quarantine
laws, departing in stealth at night,
to make his way by automobile
j and train to North Carolina. In
' 1923, he came to Washington and j
registered at a downtown hotel.?
During his visit to North Carolina j
in 1927, old neighbors petitioned (
the United States public health j
service to suspend the law and
permit him to remain there. I
"The surgeon general," the j
health service said today, "was j
sympathetic, but was unable to\
grant the petition." j
Early resisted, and kinsmen j
threatened violence against the i
federal officers, but the govern
ment persuaded them to yield. The j
leper was taken back to Carville. j
It was explained by health of- j
ficers today that Early, although j
well, will be subjected at inter-»
vals to microscopic tests and rou- J
tine examinations.
