PLOW LAND NOW
FOR BEST YIELDS
(F. II. Jeter)
Raleigh, Nov. 24 Full plowing of
farm hind in North Carolina pays
large dividends in irurea.-ed yields as
well as in the saving of tinu normal
ly used in planting.
"The fall plowed soil, if left rough
through the winter, will freeze and
thaw out a number of times," says E.
State College. "This action causes
the soil to crumble and st-t into a fine
seed bed for work the following
spring. Another feature which should
not be overlooked is that the rough
plowed surface absorbs and holds
more moisture than the uuplowed
land."
According to Mr. Blair, the soil,
when plowt d in the spring, is very
likely to break up into heavy clods
which will require five or six borrow
ings to get into shape for the seed
bed. This is especially true of the
heavy clay soils. This extra work
takes time and is an added expense
that could be eliminated by plowing
in the fall, he says.
Fall plowing not only benefits the
soil by creating a mulch that aids in
planting and cultivation hut in many
cases it destroys insects that prey
upon field crops. This is especially
true in the eastern patr of the State
where the insects live over in the soil.
The process of freezing and thawing
of freshly plowed land will destroy
many of these pests as well as kill
the organisms of many plant diseases.
Mr. Llair states that the plowing
should be done in November if pos
sible but should always be done be
fore Christmas. For Western North
Carolina the plowing should be done
in November and December on all
soils intended for cotton, corn, soy
beans and other spring crops. There
is no part of farm work that will pay
as big a dividend for the labor invol
ved as fall plowing, he says.

$875 was borrowed on a note and
that he had left $513.92, which, if
applied on the note, would leave a

Governor Gardner has declined to
call a special session of the General
Assembly in December, as requested
in a petition presented by officers of
theh N. C. Tax Relief Association, on
the ground that it would interfere
with the preparations for the regular
session in January and wou)d result
in two sessions, without adequate, or
ganized preparations for either. "I
have reached the conclusion that it
would not be wise nor in the interest
of the public welfare to call the Gen
eral Assembly into extraordinary ses
sion in December, and therefore can
not comply with the request made in
the petition," Governor Gardner stat
ed, after saying he had given the mat
ter and the facts presented serious
consideration.
Although Chairman R. A. Doughton
does not look with favor at the pro
posal to increase the gasoline tax
from five to six cents a gallon, he is
frank to admit that he can see no

maintain the 45,000 miles of high
ways in the 100 county systems in the
State, thus taking this burden from

The last General Assembly added
one cent to the gasoline tax, bring
ing in about $2,500,000 and appro
priated $500,000 additional, the $3,
000,000 going to the counties to main

If another cent should be added and
another $500,000 allotted to the

the words being
given out b y a
statesman who
used an old-fashioned
spelling lion;
such as we were
familiar with sixty
years ago In the
district schools of
the country. It
didn't take long to
lot, and they went
clown like a row of untrained sol
diers fining tlie tire of machine guns.
The simple truth is we don't know
how to spell. If a misspelled word
creeps into our correspondence, we
blame the error upon our stenogra
phers. It is rather interesting to see what
common words floored the statesmen
"salable," and "mortise," and "tran
quillity" and "initial." Words which
one should expect every Intelligent
person to be able to manage wore
too much for them.
In my own experience there are a
dozen simple words in common use
which more than half the high school
graduates who come to college lire
likely to stumble on. "Sophomore"
find "laboratory" and "athlete" and
"truly" and "receive" and "embar
rassment" and "judgment" fire quite
commonly too much for the young
student. "Accommodate" and "trans
ferred" are more often misspelled
than spelled correctly. Even In rail
way stations, I see "Pullman Accom
odations'' in gold letters.
It seems now to be no disgrace not
to know how to spell.
"Oil, I can't spell," a healthy, Intelli
gent sophomore says to me, and Unit
with liim seems to em it. fie admits
the fact and feels no obligation np
,rirrntly to strengthen his ortho
graphic weaknesses. I had n brief
no(. last week from n high school
hoy who managed in si short page to
misspell seven words. Pretty good, I
tlioii'jfit, considering he opportunity
VI hirh he had.
In the ol, days there were two or
throe lliiii'.'s uhiih we did iearu in
s jiiml - iMic k nritlmikMical cnleuhition,
flic graiiim'iiii al construction of sen
tences, and spelling. Not to he able
to work all I lie problems in Cay's
Third Pan. Arithmetic was a disgrace.
If one could not diavriim, analyze and
parse the words in any sentence
which came iilong he was analliemn,
find spelling was the chief indoor
.sport. We drove miles on winter eve
nings to demonstrate our ability In
spelling contests. I was the pride of
the community once when I vvns fif
teen, for I entered a spelling match
at the ISurrili schoolhouse a dozen
miles from home and spelled down
seven school teachers. It would not
be so much of a task today, I suspect,
nor so much of an honor.
It still gives me a shock to get a
letter from a mini of standing and to
find In It misspelled words. It sug
gests carelessness. Inaccuracy, Inex
cusable ignorance. I liad always
thought well of Carson. He is a grad
uate of one of the great educational
institutions of the country, nnd he
goes into good society. I had a letter
from him Inst week in which In three
distinct places he speaks of the "nluin
nae" of an organization to which ho
belongs. Curson doesn't know bow to

sufficient to maintain the 45,000 miles
of county roads at their present
standard and at about 75 per cent of
the present cost, 'Chairman Doughton
thinks.
This would enable the State to take
all the road maintenance cost from
the counties, except administration
costs, but the proposal will meet with
strenuous opposition from the nearly
half a million automobile owners, who
would pay the shifted tax.

Failure of the Central Bank and
Trust Co., Asheville, a $21,000,000
bank, last week, and the sympathet
ic failures of several other smaller
banks in Asheville, Biltmore, Hender
sonville, Waynesville and other plac
es, is not a reflection of conditions in
general i nthe State, but is an after
math of the boom conditions, infla
tion of real estate values and highly
valued real estate in now frozen as
sets, carried on some three years ago
by high-pressure operators after the
Florida boom, according to John
Mitchell, chief State bank examiner.
Mr. Mitchell warns the people of
the State against hysteria, a condi
tion which often results in a "run"
that few banks can withstand. An
nouncement ofthe Wachovia Bank &
Trust Co., thai a million or more dol
lars was ready in its Asheville branch
for any depostiors who sought to
withdraw is believed ti have helped
to allay the fears of many people of
Asheville and vicinity.
Many will undoubtedly suffer from
these failures, as well as failure of
the smaller bank and its branches in
Stokes county last week.
