Tlio Alabama lynching, this week, is to be deplored, as are all lynching; but it is more than probable that if New York lawyers, employed by an a'ien organization, known as the.

MORE THAN MILLION ARE BACK TO WORK BY RECOVERY DRIVE \ Washington. ? It is conservatively estimated ?hat more than o.ne and one quarter millions of persons have al ready been put haek to work in the National Reeoverv drive. The goal is reemployment of six millions before winter. The estimate of at least 1,250,000 reemployed at this stage is based on the codes of fair competition already in effect, by temporary code agree ments, and by industries that have acme under the blanket code with some modifications. This estimate does not take account of workers re employed by firms which have put the Preside!;! 's reemployment agree ment into effect without n edifica tion. No figures have been compiled :vi this group, although (he number undoubtedly is large, probably run ning i n<to several hundreds of thou sands. Tinte d, it probably would not b" an over statement tp say that fully two million* of unemployed have al ready got their jobs back ns the re sult of the recovery pioirrain. The industries wlreh have signed the "blanket code" agreement with some deviations from its original terms include two groups of retail stores which, a'one, will reemploy 1,100,000 workers. Between 10,000 and 1*2,000 are be ing put back to woik in the coat and suit industrv. * > Private shipbuilding plants are taking back an estimated 27,000. The cotton textile code was esti mated to mean reeirployim nt for 125,000. No estimate has been m:nle <?f the number reemployed iu industries al lied to those mentioned, but here again many thousands unquestionably have been put back to work. Analysis of the 1930 census figures shows that 5-1 out of every 100 work ers normallv employed in the. United 1 States will be directly affected by the recovery campaign-? either by getting their jobs back, or having their present hours shortened and their wages raised. The census puts the number of Americans gainfully employed in normal times lit 49,000, 000. About 29,000,000 of these conic under the classifications affected by the XHA regulations: Approximately 200,000 workers arc ?r??i?i?r to lose their jobs out in ly, but no one is sorry about it. The census figures show t lint this number of child mi miller Hi have lwe.n employ ed in the past in factory, mill, store, | ami other industrial lalior. All tin codes thus far approved, and the h'anket reemployment agreement, con tai.il p'edges against industrial em ployment of children under 10 years of age. Many of the codes bar all under IS. The recovery pro ?riam has gained universal acclaim in this one respect, at least ? it has wiped the stigma of child labor off the industrial map of America. CULL POULTRY FLOCKS AND INCREASE PRODUCTION At the present low prices for poul try and poultry products and with the outlook for higher prices this fall none too bright, all poultrymen should begin .now to systematically cull t|icir flocks and e'iniinate all hens that lay just enough egjjs to pay feed cost s. "Hons thai lny from .six to nine eggs n mouth cannot make money for the flock owner at present farm prices and should be killed, sold <?' canned," savs C. J. Manpin, poultry extension specialist at Rtme College. "Such hens will eat more r eed than tl eir total market value and should l>e taken from the flock in order to lower feed costs and increase the quality and production of those birds left in the fleck." For proner culling, especially \vher? the flock contains .r>0 or more hens, some form of patching coop should be pmvided. Such a eoop can be made of slats or just a frame covered with wire and should fit the poultry house door so that the hens can be driven into it without injury. With such e eoop the poultryman can cull ?t any time of the year. Maupin advises that closAjitojitior. also be given to the breeding males as this will determine, to a hirge extent, the profit made from pu'ls*!:. hatched and raised i.eit year.

COUNTY AGENT CALLS FOR FORESTRY MEET MONDAY It. (?. Lackey, county farm agent, has issued d call to farmers mid tim ber land owners of Jackson county to {rather at the properly of the Log Cabin Association at 2 o'clock next Moudav, August 21, for a study of forestry problems. Ta'ks, demonstrations and exhibits will be under direction of K. W. Orcaher, extension forester from State -College. Forest nursery, plant ings and thinnings on the property of the Lojj Cabin Association will be visited, showing how farmers can re juvenate their cut-over forests and abandoned farm lands. Mr. Lackey states that "America is waking up to the importance of her forests and the dependence of her people on the material income from the timber and broader influences of the forest. We recognize the forest lands of Jackson county are the back bone of our wealth and industry, both present and future." that will not be needed next year or young cockerels that are not develop ing properly should be removed from the flock. Where possible, one or two breeding cockerels should be se cured from trapnested flocks. "All culled birds, whether low pro ducing liens, undersized pullets, or undesirable males shouhl be taken from the laying or breeding flock at once and either killed for home coil sumption or sold/' says Maupin. A convention of the dry forces ot* Jackson county has been called to meet at the court house in Sylva on August 20, at 2 o'clock in the after noon. At that time a county chairman will 1m* elected, and a county organi zation o t the united dry forces will j he p.-rfcctcd. A candidate as delegate from Jackson county to the constitu tional convention, in ca.sc the con vention shall he called, will he nom inated and will take the field in the county. The drvs plan to organize, every township and every community in the county and to make every effort pos sible to place this county in the col umn that voles *'No Convention ? No Repeal" at the election in November. Acecrding to the North Carolina law, which the drvs state is the fairest v * of any passed by any State, for hold ing a referendum on the repeal of the 18th Amendment, the people will vote two ways: <'No Convention," if carried will mean that North Caro lina has refused to call a constitu tional convention, and has therefore voted to retain the Amendment. "No Repeal," just above the name of the county dry candidate, would mean that the 'voter is opi>osed to repeal, even if the convention is called, and that he is voting for a delegate from this county, pledged to oppose repeal in the convention, if called. The rep resentation. is based upon the repre sentation of the counties in the House of Representatives, which means thai it would be composed of 120 mem bers, three each from MeckleJiburg, Forsyth, Guilford and Wake; two each from Buncombe, Pitt, Nash, New lEanover, Rockingham, Robeson, Durham, Gaston, Halifax, Johnston, Wayne and Rowan; and one eacli from all the other counties of the State. This makes the elcctioni im |H>rtant in every county, for the rea son that most of them will have equal representation in the conven tion. if called, and the counties with one delegate each could turn the tide either for or against the repeal. It is possible for all the more populous counties to vote for repeal, and f?>r those with i (datively smaller popula tion to place the State in the dry column against r< p. al. In other word each county is a unit ill voting in North Carolina. In Tennessee a great majority of the counties voted dry; but the State was the unit in the vote, and the avalanche of wet votes in Memphis, Nashville, and Chatta nooga, put the State in the repeal parade. This cannot happen in North Carolina, under the act passed by the last funeral Assembly under which the r lection is to -be held. It' a county votes "No Repeal," its del egate in the convention will be? pledged to vote against repeal; while in every county where as much as a majority of one is recorded " For Repeal,*' the delegate or delegates will have to vote for rcj>eal. BARREN CORN HAS HIGH FEED VALUE Rarreii corn stalks should hp re lieved from the fields while still preen to obtain the greatest possible feed value. K. ('. Blair, extension agronomist at Si i*t ?? College, says thai, <4In IOV'1 'i-. in every dry year, many Xoriii Car olina corn fields will make ;i verw low yield, aiid sueh fields always eoi. tain a li'gh percentage of b;mvi stalks. . **In order to get the greatest |?os sible amount of feed value, the barren stalks should he cut from the field while still preen. They may be either fed preen, or cured in the shock. "When cut at this stage, the corn stalks and leaves will cure into a bright green roughage of higher feeding value and greater palatibility than the mature stover will be later on." He pointed out that an analysis shows that the green cured stalks contain three per cent digestable pro tein against two per cent for ordin ary corn stover, and the percentage of carbohydrates and fats is also 1 higher. "Another advantage in taking out barren stalks at this time is that fruitful stalks will not have to com pete with barren corn for moisture dturing the remainder of the growing season, " he Baid.
