PAGE SIX Limestone’s Use Greater College Station, Raleigh, May 25. •—The use of limestone and triple ruperphosphate by North Carolina farmers has taken a decided jump shice 193(5, E. Y. Floyd, AAA*'execu tive officer at State College, report ed today. Applications for the superphos phate under the grant-of-aid pro vision of the agricultural conserva tion program in the first five months of 1939 have already far ex ceeded the total for the entire twelve months of 1938. Last year, growers used 951 tons in earning soil-build ing payments, while so far this year they have applied for 2,12-1 tons The applications for ground lime stone are also on the increase, the Triple-A official pointed out. In 1938, growers applied 91,000 tons to their cropland in cooperating with the conservation program. This year, they have applied for 38,410 tons under the grant-of-aid provi sion. In addition, the amount of lime bought privately and through the TVA demonstration program in Western North Carolina probably amounts to more than the grant-of aid applications. Floyd explained that Tar Heel growers earned $3,170,969 last year Stevenson Matinee .... 26c—Night .... 36c Children 10c TODAY TOMORROW Also: March of Time And Latest News of the Day STATE I Admission 10c and 25c I TODAY No complete show after 8:30 Gloria Stuart—in “WINNER TAKE ALL” News Comedy FRIDAY SATURDAY Chas.

This year with increased tonnage of lime and phosphate being applied, the con servation payments should go well above the 1938 figure The executive officer also said North Carolina farmers seeded 818,176 acres to legumes and grass es last year, including 101,605 acres of winter legumes. State Crime Bureau 'Shows Its Benefits (Continued From Page One) from each case. Director Handy wasn’t appointed until mid-year in 1938; he did not line up his personnel until about September 1; and then he found the quarters (three small rooms in a lo cal hotel) too small to permit estab lishment of anything resembling an adequate set-up. On January 1, the bureau moved into the fourth floor of the State’s “red brick” building, where it is now located and where it will stay only until completion of the new Department of Justice build ing. Up on that top floor there has been accumulated almost all the equip ment needed for a top-flight crime detection agency. There are micro scopes of all sorts and descriptions with which Firearms Specialist J. W. Powell can determine whether a bullet was fired from a certain gun. Identification Expert Melvin C. Hoover (once in the FBI bossed by his namesake, Edgar) can compare finger prints to his heart’s content, and with the newest devices for so doing. Documents can be subjected to all sorts of tests to determine their authorship or authenticity. Hairs can be tested to see whether they came from the head of a certain suspect or from another. There’s everything the scientific sleuth can want in doing his sleuthing. And so Agents Oscar Adkins, Guy Scott and Harry R. Paul can gather evidence in the field, send it into Raleigh and soon get the benefit of the soundest and best results of scientific research. That these men have been as suc cessful in their field as the famed FBI operatives is evidenced by scores of convictions all over the state and by scores of letters from solicitors, judges and sheriffs attest ing that these convictions came through State bureau efforts. The bureau enters cases only when requested by local authorities or up on specific direction of the governor under whose direct command it now operates. After July 1 it will become part of the new State Department of Justice, with the attorney general as its big boss, but Director Handy says there will be little but a nominal change; with the functions qnd ac tivities about as now. The bureau’s operatives have to date been successful by a judicous mixture of applied scientific, mod ern methods with the old, but still completely essential, application of common sense and everlasting stick to-it. On the one hand, as an example of applied science, was the case from Harnett county in which one of the commissioners had received an ex tortion note, threatening dire conse quences if he did not put a packet containing SIOO in a rural mail box. A tricky scheme to nip the writer as he called for a dummy package failed, but suspicion was directed to ward a young man; and a scientific comparison of his handwriting with the extortion notes brought from hirtj? a complete confession. On the other hand, illustrating thei use of horse sense and a refusal to give up, was the recent Murphy hoi> ror in which a nurse was criminally assaulted and a patient robbed by rf 1 marauder who broke into the hos-* pital at hight. * * Local authorities were frankly bas-» fled. Their theory laid the crime to a white man. But the State agent called in to help was convinced from the nurse’s story that the manner oi the assault pointed unerringly to a Negro as her assailant. He had no clues, but just kept circulating a round until he learned almost cas ually that a certain Negro had hired-, a taxicab to take him from Marion to Atlanta, Ga„ the morning after the crime. That was enough. Now the Negro is on Death Row* pending decision of the Supreme Court on his appeal from a first de gree and rape double-capital crime conviction. Then there was the recertt trial of three men and a woman for the mur der more than three years ago, of Oliver Hawn in Catawba county. There came an apparently insignifi cant “tip” from a convict at Cale-c donia prison farm that he could give some information about the Hawn killing. The bureau was called in. Agent’ Adkins went to work on the case and as the result of his unflagging work there was a wholesale verdict of guilty of second degree murder. On file in the Handy office is a letter from the sheriff of Catawba county which says flatly and with out equivocation that except for the* efficient work of Adkins there would have been no trial, much less a con viction of any one. The bureau has not sought pub licity, and has received almost none except that attending its efforts in the Goldsboro case. Your correspondent found Director Handy willing to answer direct ques tions, but not to volunteer material which might be used to popularize and advertise the bureau. Expert Hoover \fas courteous and competent . in showing the writer all the $6,000 worth of equipment and the nearly 10,000 finger prints now on file in the bureau. On the Goldsboro case investiga tion the director was discreetly mum, if not completely evasive; but he did remark smilingly: “That’s a case we’ll be damned if : we do break and we’ll be damned if we don’t”. But if it’s breakable, your corres-* , pondent predicts that Handy and . company will break it. Wnever SUSPECT CAUSE OF BACKACHES This Old Treatment Often Brings Happy Relief Many Bufferers relieve nagging backache quickly, once they discover that the real cause of their trouble may be tired kidneys. . The kidneys are Nature’s chief way of taking the excess acids and waste out of the blodd. Most people pass about 3 pints a day or about 8 pounds of waste. Frequent or scanty'passages with smarting and burning shows there may be something wrong with your kidneys or bladder. An excess of acids or poisons )n your blood, when due to functional lcidney disorders, may < be the cause of nagging backache, rheumatio pains, leg pains, loss of pep and energy, get ting up nights, swelling, puffiness under the eyes, headaches and dizziness.. Don't wait! Ask your druggist for Doan’e 1 ills, used successfully by millions fdr over 40 years. They give happy relief and will help the 15 miles of kidney tubes flush out poisonous waste from your blood. Get Doan's FiHs HENDERSON, (N. C.)
