Crotolaria In
Carteret County
By J. Y. LASSITER
County Agent
Several fanners in Carteret
County tried Crotolaria last year
for the first time, and were ex
ceedingly well pleased with the
splendid growth it made, and the
amount of legumes they had to
turn back in the soil. j
Since it is almost time to begin,
planting crotolaria, I am sure you
l urmers will be interested in some ;
of the facts about it. j
Crotolaria is an annual summer
legume used only for soil im
provement. No livestock will eat
jt. and it requires no official in
oculation. It is not a pest. It i-..-perially
good on veiy light soil,
and will make about three timis
;hc urowth of soybeans or cov
ueas. Fifteen or twenty pounds
'.,-r acre should be u.-c-i when
roadeast, and i ight t ten pounds
when planted in tin v e f h.i ?w s
ami cultivated. The seed should
V v. arified to injure quick jr. nil
liK'iloii. The price is eight t.. t n
eon'.- per pound depending on the
: ety wanted.
t'l nttdaria should be planted
between April 1st and May loth,
it is an excellent crop lor smoth

rn.-s in two years. The seed may
re disced in on sandy soil, or may
be plowed in on heavy soil.

Senator Bailey
Gives His Views
On "Hatch Bill'
(Editor's Note. When one
thinks of Washington these days
they think of the Hatch Bill, which
is 'in the limelight. In following
comments Senator J. W. Bailey
tfivvs his views on measure. A.
D.)
By Josiah W. Bailey. U. S. S.
Editorial comment in more than
one North Carolina paper calls for
an explanation of my vote against
the proposed extension of the
Hatch Act to include State, City
and County employees in activi
ties that receive Federal giants or
loans.
The effect of the proposed bill
I is to assert the right of the Con-
ill ss to use Federal loans and
i grants as a means of controlling
i lans upon failure
hihitions in the
Act. It would,
without
."ivmit our
public employ
the Civil Serv-
the benefit of
aws, place them under super
vision of the Federal Civil Service
Commission. And this would in
clude State, County, Town and
City employees.
It is unsound to put Federal aid
to such uses. Gifts and grants
ought to be made on their merits,
on the basis of need or welfare.
They ought not to be used as the
means of coercing the States, their
political subdivisions or their em
ployees in any manner or degree.
The States ate neither dependen
cies, possessions, nor dominions.
They are sovereignties, even
though some of them do not act
that way.
The State of North Carolina is
capable of forming its policy in
such matteis far more capable
than the Federal Government.
The moral and political level in
North Carolina is above the moral
and political level id' the Federal
Government.
I am opposed to giving the Fed
eral Government control over pub
!Y officers in North Carolina in
any degiee. under and circumstan
ces or upon any consideration, and
:.ni not inclined to believe that up
on ii flections those editors who
have seemed to favor the Act will
continue to do so.
Let me make a suggestion In-
wa v
,.eli
of showing what this proposed
y of i-mployir.g Federal funds
outre! State (-niployees will
to. If this extension of the
Ha.
Patch Act shall become the lae
and the precedent, the next step
will he to control our public schools

Hatch Bill, and tomorrow vou will

the "Recovery" Act, and there
were once many who were tin re
by deceived. We did not recover
undoi its operations, but such re
covery as had been made in the
spring anil summer of 1 '.),'.:! was
reversed.
Thomas Jefferson admonished
us to "follow the principles". ,And
the Bill of Rights of the State of
North Carolina advises as "that n
frequent recurrence to fundament
al principles is necessary to the
pie-onation of our liberties". It
s time to have a "recurrence", if
po-sildi if not too late.
We had Federal control once in
North Carolina. Sometimes it ap
pears that we must have another
large dose of that poison in order
that we may be reminded of its in
evitable consequences.
Granted that the use of official
position to influence elections is
not to be approved, the principle
of employing Federal pid as the
means of compelling State and lo
cal action is even more to be dis
couraged. On the other hand, the
people of North Carolina may be
trusted to make of their own ac
cord every necessary improvement
in mechanics of the democratic
process. This Hatch Bill is an in
terference with that process to ac
complish what is conceived to be
a good purpose, but that interfer
ence is more to be condemned than
the evil it i:s intended to remedy.

More than 600 Franklin County
farmers have requested direction.1
for building a home-made cotton
mop to be used in applying poison
for controlling boll weevills.
THE BEAUFORT NEWS BEAUFORT,
Eggs Are Cheap Now
Nutritious Always
Next to milk, eggs are the most
! perfect single food. "Eat eggs for
health always, and eat eggs for an
j economical dish at this season of
I the year," advises Miss Sallie
I Brooks, assistant Extension nutri
I tionist of N. C. State College.
The home economist endorsed
the "Springtime Egg Festival"
which is being conducted this week
by produces' and consumer, with
the support of thousands of mer
chants, including the Southeastern
Chain Store Council. Another
period of the Festival will be the
week of April 1 1-IS.
Miss Brooks pointed out that
I more than half of the total egg
' crop of the year is pdoruood in
March, April. May and dune.
"When production is at the peak,
prices quite naturally are at their
lowest, so that the family can now
revel in eggs have them in some
form at every meal," she said.
Citing the nutritive value of
eggs for pel sons of all ages. Miss
Brooks said: "Of ail the natural
foods, eggs are the best source of
vitamin P. with the exception of
fish oils. For this reason, child
ren who are given i ggs from infan
cy are better fortified against rick
ets than those who do not have
them.
"Egg also provide vitamins A.
B. and G. and they sue an excellent
source of iron, and a fairly good
source of calcium and phospho
rous. The protein and fat in eggs
are easilv assimilated bv the
body."
As a suggestion on egg cookery,
the nutritionist pointed out that
high temperatures make the white
of he egg tough. When the egg is
polled, the part where the white
and yolk come together often de
velops a dark green color. This
may be decreased, if not eliminat
ed by cooking the egg as short
time as possible, and by cooking
at once under water.
Yes, It Pays Farmers
To Fertilize Cotton
"Yes", is the answer to the ques
tion: "Poes it pay to fertilize cot
ton at present prices?" says Prof.
C. B. Williams, head of the State
College Agronomy I lopartim lit.
On the basis of expei inn-nts con
ducted by the State College A.
cultural Experiment Slotion over
a long period of yea is. n-t pioffit
avcrafing S'Jo.'o per acre were
obtained from the use of the prop
er kinds and amounts of fertilizer
with seed cotton selling at F cent-
p o pound. "The present prices
for seed lint are about equal to 4
certs for seed cotton, which would
afford fairly good net pioi'its per
i.ere," Prof. Williams stated.
His recommendations on cotton
fei tilization are as follows: From
UM to (UK) pounds of a 4-8-1 mix
in e per acre on sandy and sandy
oam soils in the Coastal Plain sec
ion; from -1(H) to 4."(l pounds of
1-1(1-1 for the heavier soils in the
"astern part id' the State, espec
ially the northeastern section:
from 10 to i'iOO pounds of a 4-10
nixture for piedmont soils in av
erage condition.
"However," said the agronomist,
'while heavy crops of legumes
have been grown on the land the
previous year and turned under,
or heavy applications of manure
have been made, the percentages
