PERKINSON, Supt. Warren Man Tells of Great Southwest Flagstaff, Ariz., Sept. 3, 1919. Editor Warren Record. Dear Sir: You will please pardon this liberty of addressing you, however being a Warren county boy who has been ex ploring and. traveling about the great Southwest for about three years while seeking health which I lost while in the navy after serving 8 years, being honorably discharged by board of medical survey latter part of 1915 at Tas Aumias, Colorado, now that the great war has been won and peace has come and the American people have turned their minds to reconstruction and pursuit of happiness I feel that I would like to tell the home folks something about the wonderful scenes of the Southwest. After -having visited the famous parks and historical cliff dwellers of Colorado and New Mexico, the great scenic wonders of, the famous Yellow stone National Park in Northwest Wyoming and the greatest of all nat ural wonders the great Grand Canyon of Arizona and a few lesser objects of interst I fail to see why the great American traveling nublic should spend thousands of dollars to see mountain scenery in Italy or Switzer land that our's greatly surpass in beauty. Ought not our motto be, "See America first." It would take several years indeed to see the wonders of America take the Grand Canyon, only 60 miles from the main line rail road (Sante fei) with branch lines running out of Wil liams right up to the rim of the can yon, splendid hotel accomodations. Yet only about twenty thousands go up to see it annually and a great per centage of these are foreigners who have come many thousands of miles to see the magnificence of that giant rent in the earth's surface. Imagine a hole in the ground 13 miles wide, 52 miles long and more than a mile deep with its ever chang ing colors. After" one has made - the perilous decent by donkey down the Bright Angel trail we come to a flat about one mile down which gradually slopes to the river, in a 12 hundred foot cut which it has eaten out by its own violence, a mighty raging tor rent of muddy water racing with the speed of an express train. On the flat in the bottom of the canyon lives a tribe of indians who subsist by their skill in pottery and basket weaving. They find sale for their wares at the hotels on the river. We will take Flagstafr, a very nice mountain town near the summit oi Sanf rancisco peaks, 1400 feet altitude, the town itself is about 7000 with great lumber industries boasting sev eral large saw mills and 5 big logging railroads over the country for many miles in all directions from Flagstaff. It has a deposit of cinders and lava from a few feet to many feet deep over its entire surface showing vol canic originality. Indeed crater can be seen several miles in distance. Splendid crops of potatoes are raised however without aid of irrigation as the rain is quite sufficient near the big peak. Then in vicinity of Flag staff there is a host of points ot in- terest. The mountains soutns oi me town and railroad is full of wild game and a number of ancient cliff-dweller's ruins, also many cave ruins and out in the fastness of the mountains, a considerable distance south there are many towns of those old ruins of our early day Americans. Now, Mr. Editor, I trust your in- i - T dulgance a few moments longer, x fear you will be bored and not at all interested in the history of our an cient settlers but I am, very much so, in fact. I am getting together an expedition to explore those ruins now. I will leave Flagstaff next week equipped for a couple of months exploration. I will take snapshots of the ruins visit ed and will explore and endeavor to unearth some of their secrets. They are- rhummyfied in a good many in stances in a splendid state of preser vation. I will keep an accurate diary daily of my fmdings and observations and would be pleeased to forward same to you with photos at the earli est opportunity. Will take a few days however to get on the ground and get (agoing) and mail conveniences will be bad, but I will forward my find ings as often as circumstances will permit. I feel sure my relatives and friends in Warren will enjoy reading (Continued On Fourth Page) aonneisginiM - r IFB&mne Every Effort Being Put Forth To Make October 1st A Great Day For Men of Great Wat; Parade, Speeches, and Dinner Expected To Draw 5,000 People. Word has come from Naval head quarters that a twenty piece Marine band can be expected here Wednes day October 1st, a telegram from Langley Field in response to a re quest for a plane for the Celebration is worded, "Request has been made to director of Air Service to send an air plane to Warrenton October 1st. Will advise if granted," invitations to ad dress the gathering have been dis patched to Congressman Claude Kit chin, Governon T. W. Bickett and General B. S. Royster, and details are being perfected to make next Wed nesday the greatest day in the history of Warren. Interest over the County in the Cel ebration is being aroused. Public spirited men and women are learning with pleasure that Warren is to give expression to its pride with a celebra tion unprecedentedly glorious. Over and again within the county x people are pointing out that Warren losi, twenty-five of two hundred and -fifty white men engaged in this war, that its war calls whenever a demand was made, for true blood or an appeal made to the heart were given true answer by its citizenship, and that a county-wide expression of its heart throbs is now due the men who made the supreme sacrifice and that a glorious universal welcome is also duT those others who stood ready to ans wer wherever duty called. Every family in Warren is request ed by the committee to bring ample provisions for their use. Barbecue will be jproyided for the honor guests and soldiers who will be served a special banquet. Tentative plans call for a big spread at the Academy -for the people of the county from the bas kets which patriotic women of War ren are expected to gladly prepare for this occasion. Lemonade is to be fur nished in, barrels at the street corners nd if ample 'cue can be provided this will be served the public in addition to their basket dinner, but the com mittee expects this to be impossible. A big parade will unquestionably be the feature of the day. This is to be headed by a chief Marshal who with twenty or more assistants, all mounted, are to -keep the line of march clear. The Old Confederates, the speakers and others prominent in war work in the county will take part in the parade. Every soldier, sailor and marine is expected to wear their uniform. The parade will form fol lowing the speeches on the street in front of Miss Effie Ellington's, circle the two blocks, come into mam in front of Burroughs Grocery Company and straighten out down main for the march to the academy. Over North Carolina similar cele brations are being held in apprecia tion of the, men who fought. It is the purpose of the committee, whose one aim is a fitting expression of the pub lic appreciation of Warren, to make the celebration October the 1st a tre mendous (faff air which will live in memory as the greatest celebration ever staged in the county. Help us boost -the Fair at Norlina. We are going to make October 9th and 10th two big days in the history , of Warren county. Everybody , will be welcome. Council Is To Be Permanent In State MICKIE SAYS r !' PS County ., Supt. J. Edward Allen and Public Waif are Officer Raymond R. Rodwell have returned from Chapel Hill where the State and County Coun cil, which has been in session at the University: of North Carolina, Sept. 35-19, was attended. More , than three hundred officials and their vol unteer allies from 76 counties were present. Described by Governor Bick ett, who presided, as destined to prove of inestimatable value to the State, the Council, in response to a widely voiced demand, has been made a per manent institution, and a committee was appointed by the Governor to make plans for next year's meeting. This committee consists of Dr. E. C. Branson, Chairman, A. T. Allen, Mrs. Clarence W.y Johnson, W. C. Jones, and Dr: 'Fl M." Register : The University News .Service says: "Problems of public education, pub lic health, taxation, highways and rublic welfare, most of which have i risen because of the new public wel fare laws and the new officials charg ed with carrying them into effect, were threshed out during four days of discussions. After every speaker the meeting was thrown open and questions were asked, views exchang ed, and experiences described. "Governor Bickett, in addition to presiding at most of the discussions, explained the -revaluation act and made a plea for support of it. 'An act to make the tax books of North Carolina speak the truth,' was the title he gave to the law. 'North Car olinians have never told the truth about their taxes because they have rever been allowed to,' the Governor said, 'but they are telling the truth now, and the moral effect will be tre mendous. Under this revaluation act and the proposed income tax North Carolina will be able to take notable strides in public welfare.' "The system of procedure in the new juvenile courts was thoroughly explained by' Judge Charles N. Feidel son, of the Childrens Court of Savan nah, by R. F. Beasley, Secretary State Board of Public Welfare, Jy Mrs. Clarence W. Johnson, Director of the Chiid Welfare Division of the State Board of Charities and Public Wel fare, and by A. S. McFarlane, County Suprintendent of Public Welfare in Forsyth County, a pioneer -in this work in North Carolina. The largest indivual group at. the Council was the County Superintendents of Public Welfare, and they perfected an or. ganization of their own by electing R. F. Beasley President, A. S. Mc Farlane, Vice-President, and Mrs. Blanche B. Carr, Secretary and.Treas irer. Hon. Frank Page, Chairman of the State Highway Commission, told the Council that 85 trucks had already been received from the Federal Gov ernment for roadbuilding purposes, i nd there would be available a total cf $1,500,000 worth of road building i jachinery from the Federal Govern ment, 'IWith the exception of Wake coun ty, from which 28 State officials alone attended the Council, Perquimans led in attendance. All but four of the land-locked mountain counties had representatives present, and the Pied mont section of the State was almost solidly represented." Farm Agent Tells Value of Pasture Every farmer in the county who is without a good permanent pasture on his farm is. loosing money. I do not advocate the seeding of a large acre age to pasture for commercial produc tion of: live stock, but every farmer should have at least a few acres of permanent pasture to carry the live stock that he has on hand. I know nothing that will bring the average farm greater returns that a few acres seeded to permanent pasture. Pork can be produced at about half the cost where the hogs are run on pas ture as compared with dry lot feed ing. In other words pasture spells "gain" in pork production, whereas dry lot f eeting spells "loss'. It - is equally as important in feeding other kinds of live stock. Experiments have proved that the fall is the best time to seed these, pas tures. So if you haven't already a good pasture, now is the time to make a start toward getting one seeded. In preparing seed mixtures for pas tures it is desired that the combina tions embrace grasses that begin growing early in the spring and grow throughout the summer and early fall. The -mixture should also be made up of grasses that attain their maximum development in succession throughout the greater part of the year, so that, although the nature of the pasturage may - be gradually changing somewhat as the season ad vances, abundance will always be resent during a normal season if the number of animals per acre is not too large. Orchard grass, Timothy, red top, Kentucky blue grass, Bermu da, tall meadow oat, the fescuts and rye grasses are the main grasses, al falfa, white, red, - mammoth, alsale and J apan clover are the chief clov ers in making pastures. In the mix ture we should have two grasses and two clovers selected from the above list. A good mixture for most soils in this county is as follows: Tall oat grass, 10 pounds; orchard grass, 10 pounds; red clover, 6 pounds, white loves, 3 pounds a total of 29 'pounds pvvx acre. ' ' . ' .. -. - Mr. C. L. Sams, specialist in bee keeping will visit the county this week. He will be, at Miss Lucie Webb's farm Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. At 2 p. m. he will be at Mr. W. H. Pridgen's farm. All inter erested in bees should arrange to meet Mr. Sams at one of these places. The County Agent will meet with farmers in the Court House Saturday at 10 a. m. The subject for discus sion will be Liming the Land. AH in terested in the use of lime are invit ed to attend this meeting.

EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OF LATE JULY RESPONSIBLE Corn, Cotton and 13weet Potato , Crops Not As Good As Last Year Reports Field Agent of Agricultural Department, Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 12. The low conditions of the primary crops in North Carolina are due to the contin ued damaging effects of the July ex cess rainfall and the unfavorable weather conditions, including the hot days, cool niglits and drought seasons that followed. The latest informa tion given out by the North Carolina Crop Reporting Service embodies the combined efforts of the State and Federal Departments of Agriculture in releasing reliable agricultural in formation. These estimates are large ly derived from farmers, who report that corn has an average , condition over the State of 80 per cent (same as U. S. average) , this being five per cent below last month's condition. The late Irish potato crop has a con dition of 81 compared with 70 per cent for the other states. Sweet po tatoes are 85 compared with an 86 per cent national crop average. To bacco shows 65 per cent compared with 72 for the entire tobacco belt. Apples , are but 38 per cent, while the American crop has 51 per cent con dition. Our average cultivated hay yield is 1.3 tons per acre and the quality is below the average, . with a very small per cent baled; other states produce an average of 1.6 tons. Reports indicate an increase of four per cent in the number of fattening hogs compared with last year's, while there is a decrease of 45 per cent. throughout the United States. The peanut crop has a condition below 80 per cent, which about- equals that of other states. Corn Tlie corn crop,, with, its 80 per cent condition, i;T three per cenff below the ten year average for this period and six per cent below a year ago, and forecasts a production of . approxi mately 58,769,000 bushels for the State. There was much abandon ment of corn on lowland, the heaviest being in Bertie, Halifax, Edgecombe, Pitt, Wayne and Johnston Counties, due to excess grassiness and over flow. Sweet Potatoes With the advent of the sweet po tato drying houses, wherby the crop may be kept in good condition better than in banks, and too the increased introduction in the northern markets, and good prices, there has been a great increase in the acreage of this crop. The yield is not as good as promised, but this may yet improve some. Its 85 per cent condition is fair. Tobacco The tobacco crop shows a, 65 per cent condition, the poorest areas be ing largely through . the important producing belt. The present condi tion is 20 per cent below that of a year ago, which is due to the heavy damages of the July rainfall and strong sunshine and other adverse climatic conditions that followed. This has resulted in extensive dam ages to the crop through the form of leaf spot, blight, small leaves, light weight and general poor quality. The color being good, however, has been the saving factor. Selling is heavy in all open markets, and the price aver ages 25.20 forever ten million pounds sold during August in this State.
