TOBACCO TEST FARM
TO BE ESTABLISHED BY STATE
Stokes Is Among the Counties Being
Considered —Farm Is Being Xuch
Sought After.
Raleigh, Sept. 6.—Major \V.
A. Graham, of the department
of agriculture, is away with the
committee appointed to select a
site for the tobacco test farm,
and is looking over the bids for
that farm.
Surry. Stokes. Granville, For
syth, Durham and perhaps other
counties have made offers. The
farm is to be conducted by the
two governments, state and na
tional. and there has been a
strong pull by the several coun
ties for the demonstration work.
Durham offered a site of 100
acres and other counties have
done one or another thing as
inducements. The test farm
committee put the matter in the
hands of a sub-committee ar.d
those gentlemen will spend today
and tomorrow on that subject.
It is not expected that the
selection will be made at this
meeting. A portion of the busi
ness of the committee is the
securing of many soils for analy
sis. by which it hoped to find the
best ground fur cultivation.
This will be thoroughly gone
• ver by the scientists of both
State ar.d National departments.
It wi'.'. ! e a long time before the
choice can be announced.
This farm is being much
sought because it is the only one
slated for this section, perhaps
the on >n? ir. half a dozen
southern States. That it will go

Why the News Likes Kitcfcin.
I We shall support Governor
Kitchen because we believe he
will best represent the progres
sive. militant Democracy of
this State, and because of his
ability, experience, and loyalty
to the principles of his party,
which demands equal and exact
justice to all people. As a young
man he withstood the tempta
tions and pitfal Is c f ashington.
and in his mature years he will
not forsake the cause of the
people
The lamented Aycock was
known as the Educational Gover
nor. Glenn is known as the Pro
hibition overnor, and Kitchen
should be known as Progressive
Governor, because the State has
made more progress in almost
every line during his administra
tion than in anv like period in its
whole history. The Clayton

A Dry-Weather Lesson.
!
In the intense drouth now pre
■
vailing in North Carolina it is
easy to note the damage that
was done in many a fine-looking
field of corn by laying it by .iust
at the close of the seasonable
weather, in early July, with a
turning plow, and a big ridge
turned to the corn, the roots be
ing torn off in the process. I
saw corn that promised a good
crop from the growth made
when this laying-by process was
accomplished. Now. that corn
is fired up to the ears and the
ears are stunted, and the crop
cannot be one-half of what it
would have made, even this dry
'
season, had it not had its roots
butchered and the soil turned up
to dry o'jt.
Dry weather succeeding a
growing early summer is bad
enough on corn that has beon
prcperiy cultivated, and even i
corn that promised a big yield;
and has had the best of cultiva-!
i
tion and the level dust mulch!
will come far short of the normal
yield, while plants butchered
with a turning plow cannot make'
even a half crop.
I have noted, too. the fields of
late corn stiil being cultivated.
Where the cultivator has been
kept going during the dry weath
er. the corn looks green and
flourishing, while in fields right
alongside, where the farmer
stopped cultivating because the
weather was so dry that there
were few weeds, the corn is pip
ed up'and yellow. This is be-
I
cause the surface crusted and
i
there was nothing to check the
.
evaporation and the soil dried
out completely, while where the
I
surface was kept stirred the
evaporation was checked- and
some moisture retained.
Similar results can be seen in
the cotton fields. Where the soil
was thrown up with the plow or
sweep and left, the soil has dried
out and the red spider finds
splendid forage and is taking off
the leaves and squares, while in
fields where the dust blanket has
been maintained there is more
moisture and less spider. The
red spider or mite cannot thrive
in moist conditions, but revels in
arid ones, and if it were possible
to spray the crop daily with clear
water, just as we do in a hot
house, it would keep down the
spider. But this is. of course,
impractical in the field, and the
i only thing there ie to nuintain
the moisture conditions and keep
the plants thrifty till rains stop
the spider. The men who have
, ruined their crops by deep cul
jtivation and ridging up will
blame it all on the dry weather
■ when they were the first cause~of
the damage from the drouth.'
Some sections of our territory
■ have suffered from rain rather
than drouth this year, but the
dry seasons come sooner or later
to all sections, and all farmers
need to learn the folly of wasting
moisture and cutting corn roots
by ridging and deep plowing.
WHAT WE NEVER FORGET
according to science, are the
things associated with our early
home life, such as Bucklen's
Arnica Saive, that mother or
grandmother used to cure our
burns, boils, scalds, sores, skin
eruptions, cuts, sprains or
. bruises. Forty years of cures
prove its merit. Unrivaled for
piles, corns or cold-sores. Only
