j Raleigh, Nov. 22.—(/P)—Otto Wood.
< serving a twenty-two to thirty-year
j sentence at State prison for t'iie mur
jdor of A. W. Kaplan, pawnbroker of
{ Greensboro, escaped from prison early
i today. It was his third escape,
j Wood had been in solitary confine
-1 mint until September 14th 'since his
Ifoicppe and recapture last November.
| til September the board of directors
j over the protests of Superintendent
I Pou, ordered that the prisoner be giv
<m the freedom of the back yard of
.the prison.
James A. Leak, chairman of the
j board, issued a statement today ab
j solving prison officials from blame for
| the escape.
j Wood's escape this time was the re
' suit of carefully laid plans in the opin
| ion of prison officials. It was made
| through the rear gate from which a
I pin had been removed and the iron
! gratings sprang enough at the bottom
ito allow the prisoner to squeeze
I rtirough.
Joe Hux, guard on duty at the gate
! last night, was charged with "gross
I negligence” by Superintendent Pou,
j who stated that he would be dis
charged as soon as he returns to the
prison. Hux was not on duty at
the time of the escape, but was during
j ing the night when the gate is thought
j to have been tampered with, and yes
terday asked for leave of absence to
day.
Wood was last seen by prison of
ficials when lie was turned out of the
cell at 6:30 this morning aud started
toward the boiler house where he was
scheduled to relieve the fireman ti*.*u
ion duty. At the time he was wear
• ing stripes.
! He was first missed at the checkup
; at breakfast, and questioning oi the
! night fireman revealed he had never
I shown up for duty. The guard on
| day duty declared he had seen nothing
of him and was not aware t'iiat the
supporting pin had been removed from
the gate until after daybreak. The
prison officials expressed the opinion
that Wood escaped while it was still
dark. Following the break other pri
' on inmates stated to officials, it was
said, that they had seen Wood in con- 1
versation with Hux on several occa- '
sions and the guard appeared very
friendly toward him.
News of the escape was broadcast
I immeediately, and a $250 reward for
9is apprehension offered.

cotton seed meal
: i IN FEEDING LIVESTOCK
; Recent Experiment Made by Expert
at State College.
Raieigh, Nov. 22. —(4 s ) —Cheap cot
' ton has produced a cheap by-product,
cottonseed men!, which recent experi
-1 merits show may be used to advantage
j in feeding livestock.
•| One of the most logical uses for
this by-product is as a protein ration
for swine, or at least this is the con
clusion arrived at by Earl H. Hostet
■ ler. in charge of swine research work
jat State College. The swine'experts
i to determine the place of cottonseed
; meal in the pig's daily ration have
I proved disappointing, but that cotton
| seed oil,, cheap as it is now, is stead-
I I ily gaining popularity.
“Experimental results show that the
meal cannot be used as a substitute
for corn or other high carbohydrate
feeds for pigs as it can for cattle.*’
! Mr. Hostetler stated, “but on the oth
er hand, if the meal may be .used as
a supplement to the protein ration
and fed -with corn, the inerease in
the value of the meal to the whole
south will be tremendous. We have
conducted two feeding trials at the
North Carolina experiment station
which indicate that this meal can be
used as a protein supplement.”
The first trial conducted at the up
per Coastal Plain station near Rocky
Mount with purebred Hampshire pigs
showed that when cottonseed meal was
a part of the protein ration, the hogs
could be fed at less cost and the profit
per pig was greater. With two lots
of 25 pigs each fed 55 days, it cost
$7.35 to produce a hundred pounds of
gain using shelled eorn, fish meal and
mineral. The profit per pig was
$5.28.
When the fish meal was reduced
one-half and this made up with cot
tonseed meal, the cost of producing
a hundred pounds of gain dropped
to $6.73 and the profit per pig jumped
to $6.08. The cottonseed meal used
in was valued at S3O a ton
and the price is now below that
point.
The second test was conducted on
the State College farm at Raleigh and
fifteen purebred Berkshire pigs were
used in each lot. The pigs were fed
for 84 days and during that time it
cost $8.04 to produce 100 pounds of
j gain when the pigs were fed a ration
of shelled corn, fishmeal and fineral.
The profit per pig was $6.30.
Jto the second lot where the ration
was corn, fish meal, cottonseed oil and
mineral, the cost of producing 100
pounds gain dropped to $7.83 and the
profit per pig jumped to $7.78.
“The increased profit per pig where
pottonseed oil was used is not so
great,” said Professor Hostetler, “but
it would easily pay for the cost of
marketing a carload of two hundred
pounds considering the prices paid for
the feeds that we used.”
Professor Hostetler does not claim
his experiments to be conclusive and
he is conducting further research into
the problem.
A STUDENT STUNT
ENDS IN THE JAIL
Former President of Student Council
Given Six Months’ Term.
Norman, Okla.. Nov. 18.—A student
kidnapping at the University of Okla
homa last year Tuesday brought Lee
Thompson, former president of the
student council, a jail sentence of six
months and a SSOO fine.
Thompson was found guilty in
county court of violating the state
anti-masking law. enacted in 1023.
His attorneys gave notice of an ap
peal.
1 Joe Crowe, a student at the Uni
j versity last year and now a school
teacher at Camargo, instituted the
prosecution, alleging that a masked
band of which Thompson was m mem
ber abducted him from a meeting of
the Scabbard and Blade, a military
society,- and mistreated him after tak
ing him into the country. The ab-1
i ductors wore the insignia of the D.
D. M. C., a secret student organiza
i tion, which disbanded after the inci-
I dent, Crowe testified.
It was brought out that both
Thompson and Crowe were members
of the Scabbard and Blade.
Thompson did not take the wit
ness stand, his attorneys explaining
he wished to avoid revealing the name
of his companions.

ESTIMATED CROP FOR/
STATE 1.200.006 BALES
On a Basis of 186.3 Pounds Yield of
Lint Per Acre.
Raleigh Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. Nov. 22.—The cotton crop
in North Carolina showed a retuarka
j ble increase in the condition of—.
i per cent, of a full crop over the 73 per
eent. condition reported two weeks
ago and 71 per cent, a month ago.
The forecast is 1,2(50.000 bales on a
I basis of 186.3 pounds yields of lint per
, acres. This remarkable crop was not
• due to an increase in acreage, but
. rathejr to the remarkably good cotton.
1 weather this year. Last year’*
! was 1.102.000 bales with a yield of
J 262 pounds to the acre, according to
j the formal statement on crop condi
tions for North Carolina, issued by
j the North Carolina crop reportiri§ ser-
I vice.
Now that the cotton farmers really
see the evidence of tremendous cotton
production in North Carolina, they are
losing sight of their criticisms of two
■ months ago. The crop is now really
larger than most growers can appre
ciate. T'lie ginnings to November 34th
showed 863.417 bales for North Car
olina. This is by far the largest
crop the state has ever made. While
the production is probably equal to
this figure, there is a good probability
that not all of the lint will be picked,
especially so if the weather is bad
j after this date.
' Experience has shown that cotton
i crop yields can be forecasted fairly ac
| curately by counting the bolls. This
I method has been followed rather close
i ly for the past tliyee seasons, in ad*
1 dition to the condition and yield estf- v
! mates. Then the data this year has
I been strengthened more than ever by
i the comparison of ginners’ figures and
estimates. Statistical methods to pro
vide reliable forecasts of crops as well
as of industrial probabilities. • -
While the reporters showed that
the size of bolls were 92 per cent, of
the usual size, a year ago they re
ported 84 per cent. Thus this year’s
bolls are evidently larger than last
year s. Previous experience lias shotvn
that while the estimates might be for
75 per cent, ginned, the actual gin
nings computed for the same date, at
the close of the season were, about
twelve points less than this.* The pier
eent. picked has shown the same trend.
Thus by allowing a so-called spread or
bias, the actual per cent ginned or
picked can be closely approximated,
In addition to the low price being
received for cotton staple, the price of
$1.62 per hundred weig’lit being paid
for picking seed cotton, which is the
same as that paid a year ago. still 1
further reduces the margin or net
nrice of lint. Tt is estimated that
65 per cent, of the crop has been
ginned ami 75 per cent, has been
picked.
The weather has been unusually
favorable for harvesting the crop this
fall. The frosts and freezes have
done no great damage as the crop was
already - too large. The cold weather
always interferes with the t*ase of
picking but the absence of leave*
makes lint. The forecasted estimate
of ginnings to November 14th wan
880.000 bales
