i In all meetings with the restau
rant men, Baskervill stressed Ute
growing volume ot tourist' business
m North Carolina. He pointed out
that in 1930 the state had more than
3.000.001) motor visitors who spent
approximately $102,000,000 in this
state.
He called attention to the fact that
this made "tourists" second only to
tobacco as North Carolina's princi
pal "cash crop". This year, he added,
the tourist trade may produce for
I Tar Heels an even greater revenue
| than tobacco, because the tourist
business is still on the upgrade,
while there is likely to be quite a
slump in tobacco prices.
liaskervill commented on the great
interest in better food and service
displayed by Air. Wilson, who in
spects eating places for member
ship in the National Restaurant As
sociation.
I "He is much more hard boiled
than any health department inspec
tor and you ought to hear the way
he gets those fellows told when their
establishments do not come up to
the required high standards." said
the Hospitality committee chairman.
Mr. Wilson commended the Char
lotte eating establishment. Basker
\ ill added. He pointed out, how
ever. that only a very smaO percen
tage >>t North Carolina eating places
hav e so far measured up to the very
exacting standards of the national
organization.
"I believe that we are on the right
track in getting rapid improvement
in all hotel and cafe service in North
Carolina".-Baskervill said. "Certain

operation showed by hotel and res

North Carolina Farmers Plan
Green Blanket Over Land
College Station, Raleigh. July 29.
—North Carolina farmers are plan
ning to spread a green blanket over
their land again this winter, K. Y.
| Floyd, AAA executive officer of
State College, said today.
Up to the present time. Tar Heel
growers have ordered -140,000 pounds
I of vetch seed and 1,561.DUO pound-:
| of Austrian winter peas. They will
|plant these seed this fall to provide
cover for their land during tin- win
ter. Throwing a green cover over the
l land will ward off some of the ravag
ing effects of soil erosion.
The amount of seed ordered by
|North Carolina farmers is part of
! more than 5,000,000 pounds of vetch
|and winter peas ordered by growers
in six of the seven states of the AAA's
East Central region.
Floyd explained the Pacific north
west, particularly Oregon, is sup
plying American farmers with seed
lor these valuable winter cover crops.
,These supplies are taking the place
| el European imports which have
been cut oil' as a result of the war.
However, the State'College AAA
'executive officer urged those grow
ers wln» wish to use these legumes
tn place their nrders promptly, lint
weather has led to an early harvest
in Oregon, anil storage may become a
problem.
Orders for vetch and winter pens
under the AAA grant-ol-aid plan
may be placed in the same manner as
'orders for lime and phosphate. The
winter peas are charged against con
servation payments at the rate of
five cents a pound and vetch al nine
and one-half cents.
No money i> required from the
i farmer at the time the seed are
!delivered if he is cooperati " in the
Agricultural Conservation i ograin.

The Sequoia Irish potato. one of N.
C. State College's latest contributions
to the field of horticulture, is receiv
ing abundant praise in many s<
lions where it has been tried on an
experimental basis. This potato was
tried on an experimental basis in
. Vance county for the first time this
year.
; This new variety has out-yielded
1 established varieties consistently din
ing a five-year test period in tin;

I Ample ('are I'rpcd for I'ullet Flock.
Poultrymen caring for their pullet
flock during the late summer and
fall should keep in mind that a little
neglect now may be costly later.
The good poultryman will see that
his birds are well fed on growing
• mash, whole corn, whole oats, and
' green feed. Here's why these items
1 are so important in the pullet's die):
1 The growing mash helps to build a
; good egg factory. Corn puts weight
on the bird and lays on a reserve of
■ fat for the heavy laying period. Oats
? furnish fiber, and help build resis
tance against disease, leather-pick -
I ing, and prolapses. Green feed fur
' nishes succulence, minerals, and
J vitamins, and is rich in other essen
1 tial food factors.
A liberal supply of green feed cub
feed bills and aids in growing a more
> healthy pullet. While green feed i>
1 more important during the growing
i I stage, it does have a definite place in

'Scientists Solve
Mystery of l>;ilil
Mount Rumblings
Lake l.ure. July :!!» (AIM The
mystery of rumbling I'.ald mountain
has been solved.
Members o| the National Spccleo
logical society, who show scant re
spect lor the laws of gravity and the
tempers of sleeping copperhead
snakes, came here Irom Washington
and exploded the myth that the
mountain's rumble comes from the
depths ol' the earth.
The scientists crawled through the
precipitous fissures that honeycomb
the huge rock a thousand feet above
Lake Lure, and found that the noise
is caused by boulders which break
loose from the top of subterranean
crevices and thunder down to the
I bottom of the caves.
The shape of several of these caves
is such that they act as sounding
boards, and the rumble can be heard
in lite valley far below.
The caves never had been explored
fully before, the state news bureau
said.
Law can embody and realize the
j conscience of the better half ol' u
j people, and can force the wor.ser
■ half np 1o its standard.
