Building Ivand With Clover.
Monroe. N. C.. June 2n. —A striking
demonstration of how to build up poor
land by the use of lime and legumes is
to be seen on the farm of Mr. I\ T.
Belle, who lives ten miles north of Mon
roe in Union county. The demonstra
tion g was put on by Mr. Belk at the re
quest of County Agent T. J. W. Broome,
and under th«* supervision of E. C. Blair,
extension agronomist for the State Col
lege and Department of Agrictultnre.
In telling about this demonstration, Mr.
Blair says that the soil on whicl\ it is
located is of a gray,-floury type, very
low iu fertility and full of rocks.
The demonstration began in 15)21 when
Mr. Belk spread two tons of limestone
per acre over one-half of his field and
left the rest of the field without lime.
This was done (luring the month of May.
Soy beans were grown on the land that
year, followed by wheat in the fall. It
was found that both the corps responded
well to lime, and that the wheat 'was
much hotter where the sjoy beans were
turned under, as compared with where
they were cut for hay. Only a small
amount of fertilizer was used per acre
on the field that, year.
“In the Spring Os 15)22,” says Mr,
Blair, “Mr. Belk drilled red clover on
top of his wheat. By July 10th the
clover on the unlimed part of the field
was nearly all dead, while that on the
limed land was doing well. Since that
time the clover has marked where the
lime was used and weeds have shown
where it was not used.”
In March of this year Mr. Belk ap
plied 200 pounds of a 10-0-4 fertilizer
per acre over the entire field. The
clover grew twenty inches high
with an excellent stand where the lime
was list'd. The harvest was over two
tons of hay per acre by actual weight,
according to Mr. Blair’s figures, and the
best yield was secured where the soy
beans were turned under two’ years ago
in 15)21. Ms. Blair found that on the
unlimed part of the field there was only
an occasional bunch of clover scattered
among the weeds. Where the soy beans
were cut off the yield of clover was only
5)00 pounds of hay, as compared to
about 1,700 pounds where the beans had
been turned under, showing that organic
matter and lime were both needed for
the* most ‘successful growth of crops on
this soil.
In lamortiug the experiment, Mr. Blair
says, "Every acre of the good clover on
the Jimed area gathered at least $lB
worth of nitrogen from the air. Had
the eorp been turned under this would
have gone to enrich the soil, but since
it was cut for hay no great improvement
is to ,be expected from the crop this
year. The second crop, however, should
do as well as the first, and as it is to
be turned under, it will furnish a larger
quantity of humus and nitrogen to the
soil. The clover hay that Mr. Belk
cut this Spring will more than pay for
the lime, fertilizer and seed, and the im

STATE EDITORS WILL MEET
NEXT IN-' SAND HILLS
Newspaper Men Put on a Program of
Stunts That Were Said to Be Really
Humorous.
Lenoir, June 21.—Pinehurst as the
next meeting place, a code of ethics for
North Carolina newspapers, and the
address of President John B. Sherrill
were some of the high lights touched
today by the North Carolina Press as
sociation in session at Mayview Manor.
Blowing Rock. The elements have’ con
spired to make this meeting a specta
cular one. Last night lightning put the
big power, plant that furnishes current
for the hotel out of business for a short
time. Today the wonders of an electrical
storm wWe revealed when one formed
over Grandfather mountain and passed
over Globe valley, a half mile from the
hotel.
The address of the president this
morning was based principally on news
peper ideals. Following ,his address dis
cussions of short problem were taken
up. The big idea brought out in all of
the shop talk was making bigger and
better newspapers for dach community.
One of the most interesting incidents
of the morning program was the tilt be
tween Sanford Martin apd R. F.
Beasley over the adoption of a code of
ethics. Mr. Martin’s motion ,* was that
the code advanced by the American
Society of Newspaper Editors be adopt
ed by the North Carolina association.
Mr. Beasley was against the motion, and
said that the true code of ethics be in
every newspaper man’s heart. Martin
came back with the proposition that
•Moses was given a code of ethics when
he was delivered the ten commandments.
This floored the opposition, and the
motion went through with every mem
ber. including Mr. Beaslely, for it.
There has been much regret that Mrs.
Edith Vanderbilt was not able to be
present. Mrs. Vanderbilt’s address was
to have been this afternoon. Historian
M. L. Shipman was also unable to at
tend. His paper was read by Sanford
Martin. - , :
The percentage of newspaper readers
among the citizenship of- North Caro
lina has not reached the point it should,
was the thought, conveyed in the address
of George Stevens. There is a Total of
only a little over 200,00 circulation
among the papers of the state. Taking
the population of the state into consid
eration this does not show such a good
average.
Last night the meeting of the As
sociated Press club was held, and fol
lowing this was the address of I)r.
Henry Louis Smith, of Washington and
Lee university, and the annual address
by .T. F„ Hurley.
The variety program of songs, stunts
and other things^—mostly of a humor
ous nature —was a fitting &Hmax to to
day’s program. It was really funny to
see what some newspaper men could
do.

lasting for one year.
Statistics showing that American's
are wearing out more rapidly than
Europeans have been collected by the
council to show the”need-**of such a cam
paign.
Two great bodies of persons wefr>
examined by the Life Extension In
stitute to ascertain the cause of the in
crease of the American death rate.
These were life insurance policy hold
ers and employees of large commercial
houses.
Os the first le«s than two and one
„lmlf per cent were normal; more than
ninety-seven and one-half per cent need
ed advice regarding their physical condi
tion or living habits. Nearly sixty-six
per cent were referred to physicians
for treatment. More than ninety-three
per cent were unaware they were iu
danger without medical attention:
Os the commercial group a few more
than tlire per cent were found to be
normal and fifty-nine per cent were sent
to physicians for treatment. Associated
with the National Health Council in

Use Dead Fish For Fertilizer.
Washington. N. C., June 23. —Farmers
near Swansboro are using dead fish re
cently washed ashore along the “SrtJantic
Coast in Onslow county for fertilizing
purposes, according to reports reaching
here. Thousands of dead fish line the
beach along scores of miles of shore line,
reports state. *
A number of theories as to the cause
of the killing of the fish have been ad
vanced. Some suggest that oil leaking
from ships poisoned them while others
think that volcanic disturbances occur
red off the coast, killing the fish.
Included among the finny corpses
stranded on the beach below Lookout,
are carcasses of sharks, eels and turtles,
it is said. It is understood that the fish
eries commission is at work on the prob
lem.
