This project has been uppermost in the mind of Governor Morrison as one of the main features of his state development program, and his calling the general assembly into ex traordinary session so near the close of his administration, shows his de termination to bring the matter to issue and to sqccessful conclusion if possible, during his term of office.

" v ? - t > Raleigfi, N". C., June 19. ? "If yon waht new fruit trees of a desirable variety, these may be secured by taking buds from a tree of the variety wanted and inserting them on seed ling stocks or on new wood of old trees. June is the month that this is generally done because the barq slips easily. . . . Stone fruits such ar> peaches, cher ries, and plums ' are always budded. Other I'rvrffs as apples, quinec, and pears may be grafted but are usual ly budded because it is a cheaper, quicker, easier, and a simpler process, explain horticultural workers cf the State College and Department of Agriculture. Shield budding is the type most used. The bud is -placed on a stock about the size of a lead pcncil. This j ".usually mpans one year old wood- with the peach and two year wood with apple. A cut is made on the stock about 3-8 inch around the tree and another one about 1 1-2 inches long above, vertical to ai\d dividing this horizon tal cut so it will look like an invert ed T. ' The buds to be used are taken from precent season 's growth where the leaves have been removed but part of the stem left to be used as a ':andle. Make a cut. about 3-4 inch above the bud so that it wil| bo about half way through the stick when it reaches the lower end of. the bud, there the bark should be cut square across. Then taking hold by the stem remove the bud from the stick and insert on the tree to be budded, under the flaps until the lower end comes in contact with the lower part of the inverted T. Press down the edges and bind with raffia or any other good string. ! After the union is made this string should be cut to prevent binding. The top may be cut off next spring after the bud starts. ^ ? O "? REALTY TRANSFERS Bill Cogdill to R. M. Crawford, lot in Sylva, $10.00. ' L. B.

Is it a , succors or not? Anion? others, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butlel says it is a t' ^failure, and that the Constitutional Amendment giving us national p"o, hibition should be repealed. It. would be unkind to say 4 "the wish is father to the thought'', and yet one is driven to the belief that these who most loudly acclaim the failure of prohibation are the same pecple who most ardently wish we had 110 pro hibition law. ,1 Prohibition is not proven to be a failure bv the fact that some people do not obey the law prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages. One of the Ten Command ments furbids murder, but we iro right on killing people just the same. Should we therefore cress rut the sixth comjuondoient? The eight com mandment says we must nr.t steal, but "i lice the war we have been do ing it on a large scale, as well as otherwij-. SlinJI ;we J .'refoije dis pensc with the eighth commandment idealise we are ii.jI keeping it/ The failure about prohibition is not in the law but in the folks. The. way to make prohibition a success to make human nature over. And we can do that better by holding up high aims than by pulling them down. , Prohibition is a success. It is al ways a great accomplishment for ;? people to set up high standards of behavior, and work toward them. There may be a good deal of illegal dealing in intoxicants, but the suc cess of prohibition is seen in the fact that such dealing is acknowledg ed to be illegal. We have won a great victory in getting the business outlawed. Let us not bemoan our failure. We have not failed. We have done wondrously and now, that we have got the whole nation to outlaw - the whiskey business, there is hopi* that sometime-we may get rid of the outlaws. GEO. M.
