Doing Away With
Speed Laws
The Ohio Legislature is now
considering a plan to abolish
auto speed laws on county roads
and make a blanket statute
about reckless driving cover ev

have adopted such a law and
others in addition to Ohio are
investigating results.
The Salisbury Post notes thai

lacking but .i-iti.it- that "Un

New Homes and Barns
When CYops Rotated
Raleigh, March 18.—One of
the visible effects of following
a good rotation of crops is the
building of new homes and
barns since such rotations have
been put into effect.
"The success of sound crop
rotations is shown not only in
bigger yields per acre and high
net income from the farm but
also in the general appearance
of the farm as well." says K.
('. Blair. extension agronomist
at State Collegt-. "Such farms
look neuter a.'id a»v better cul
tivated. During the past sev
er;-.] ye vs. \v. have place.!
denv■ ii:-ti ; i>n v.i'h lV.rnv.'iv in

eonitv age a' work. T'i
! iiesi' demonstrations, we have
applied tile p'iiKiples of soil
iniprov -nier.t with Ifgumes. fer
tilizers, manures und lime
stone to the whole farm in a
practical way. Ti irty-tliree of
these »!■ m r.sirations have been
running long enough to get the
rotation well established. On
these 33 farms. 3l per cent of
the cultivated land grew some
sort of legume in 1928. The
average for North Carolina is
only 14 per cent oi the culti
vated land."
Mr. Blair says that a farmer
cannot offord to suspend other
farm projects to improve his
soil. Therefore the rotations
advocated allow an income,
either in the form of a money
crop or feed crop, from each
cultivated acre each year.
-Meanwhile, legume cro.vs for
turning under are inter-plant
ed with the income-producing
crop, or else grown at a differ
ent season of the year.
On one farm, a twelve-acre
field made 83 bushels of corn in
1924. This same field, after
having a crop of lespede/a
turned under, made ">OO bushels

A HALF-MILKED COW
When you milk a cow, you get all the milk you
can. Why not get all the yield your coil will
give you?
When a man has worked hard, he ought to get
a good crop. But he can't unless there's the
right kind of plant food in the soil for the crop
to eat. The better the plant food in the toil the
bigger and finer the crop will be.
Royster's of Known Quality
fertilizer of known quality is the only kind to
buy. You know this about Royster's: it's been
doing the job right for 44 years. It's always
superior quality. Easy to put down. Always
fairly priced. A perfectly blended, perfectly
aged, perfectly balanced formula for every crop.

in 1927. On the same farm,
another twelve acres produced
240 bushels of corn in 1925
and 598 bushels in 1928 as a
result of a crop rotation with
legumes.
On farms where these rota
tions are followed, a surplus ot
feed is produced after two or
three years and the amount of
livestock is then increased.
Judge Stack Had
Pistols Destroyed
All pistols confiscated by of
ficers in Mecklenburg county

get a sledge hammer and break
them to pieces. Then briny
the pieces to me. 1 want to see

Two of tlie pistols destroyed
figured in a tragedy that had
resulted in the death of \V. R.
Moore, landscape gardner, anil

Intyre, Charlotte boxer and
automobile salesman, to serve
20 to 25 years in the State pris

one with which Melntvre shot
and killed Moore feXir Charlotte
in February. The other was
Moore's pistol, which he was
carrying to Charlotte to pawn
for food for his family when he
was shot, according to Dillard
Price, brother-in-law of Moore.
He so testified at the trial of
Melntvre.
All the surplus lesjiedeza seed
grown in Anson county went
