WV 1 ?T1^ 0TV ??f<l I FARMiiNG system Shocco Farmer Is Harvesting 150 Acres of Wheat; Lespedeza Second Crop TURNS TO MACHINERY By BIGNALL JONES Because a doctor :ln Korea ten years ago sent a packet of seed to America, John B. Davis, farmer of Shocco township, Warren county, this week is harvesting 150 acres of wheat, incuding 115 acres of his own, and 35 for his son, Van K. Davis and son-in-law, Tom Burton of Warrenton. The seed were Korean lespedeza. Started in the experiment station at Washington, the new lespedeza has spread over the country and finally was introducted into Warren county by Frank Davis, who became interested in the clover after talking to farmers in western North Carolina. Last year J. B. Davis planted ten acres of wheat as a nursery crop for the lespedeza. Encouraged by his success the Shocco farmer last fall planted 115 acres of the golden grain, and the past spring seeded this to lespedeza. Old methods of harvesting were not adequate to handle this acreage. Last fall Mr. Davis bought a tractor. This year he added a binder, a thresher and a baler to complete his unit. Ifext year he plans to add another tractor and possibly another binder to aid him in his work of manning the 2200-acre farm in] Shocco township. Stretching for hundreds of yards over a level plain the 50 acres of waving grain in one field attracted the admiring glances of many citizens who traveled a nearby road. This week the thresher has been placed under shade trees in a grove on the edge of this field and bundles of wheat are being hauled to the machine with two-horse wagons and a truck. Two men are to be seen unloading the wheat straw into the thresher, two others are sacking the grain as it pours from the side of the machine. The wheat straw is carried by conveyors into the baler and bales of the straw, bound with wire, emerge from the series of machines, as the last step in the harvesting of the wheat crop. Both thresher and baler are operated with power from the tractor. A carpet of green lespedeza is seen nestling over the entire wheat fields where nothing but stubble is usually to be found. Within a few j weeks this second crop will be a rank growth over the entire 150 ! acres, shading the land from the hot summer sun that would other iwise rob it of its plant food and is storing hundreds of dollars worth of nitrogen into the land by way of nodules on the roots of the plants. Early in September this crop will be ready to be harvested, and again the binder, the tractor, the thresher and the baler will be put into use. This time the baled product will not be wheat straw, but very valuable legume hay that will feed the TE of naHla that nOW TOam IU llbUVi VI Vt?>iv>w ??^>. , _ .. over a three hundred acre pasture, placed therein by J. B. Davis, Van Davis and Tom Burton, and the teams of horses and mules that are used in running this large farm. Mr. Davis said that he hoped to obtain more than 250 tons of this hay, much of which he plans to sell. In September it will not be dollar-a-bushel wheat that will pour from the side of the thresher, but lespedeza seed that last year sold from 40 to 50 cents a pound. Three hundred pounds of seed to an acre is a moderate yield of seed. In addition to the wheat and lespedeza grown this year on the Davis farm there is also cotton, corn, tobacco. This year there are six sources of revenue replacing the usual two or three. This time instead of one harvest season there is three. This is diversification. There is the usual cotton and tobacco and perhaps corn to be sold In the fall. There is wheat that will begin to travel to market in a few days. There will be seed and hay in September. There will be sale of cattle at any time of the year that the market justifies tTTe sale and) ready cash is needed. | This year marks a new day on the J. B. Davis plantation. Machine farming, land building, cattle raising, a modern well balanced system that should lead to prosperity. pi Negro Stabbed With Diirk; Officers Seek Bennie Williams Stabbed over the heart with a dirk, Wiley Gaynor, negro, lies in 1 a serious condition at his home here as the result of a quarrel last Saturday afternoon in the negro pool , room over Ramsay's Cafe.

MOST OP THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 26 NURSES TO HOLD TYPHOID CLINIC Commissioners Reject Offer Made By Physicians On Economy Grounds TO BEGIN ON JULY 7TH The Diptheria and rryphoid clinic will be held in Warren county by Mrs. J. S. Jones, county nurse, with the assistance of two nurses from the State board of health and a bookkeeper. Beginning,' on July 7 the clinic will continue for eight weeks, Mrs. Jones said yesterday. After debating the matter for several weeks and making proposals and offering counter proposals, the board of commissioners on Monday ordered that the work be performed this year by nurses instead of county physicians as heretofore. The physicians have been paid 8 1-3 cents , for each vaccine doee given. The commissioners offered five cents instead. The physicians took the matter up at a meeting of the Warren county medical society and agreed upon 7 cents and so reported to the meeting on Monday. Commissioner John L. Skinner made a motion that the work be given the physicians as heretofore. His motion failed to receive a second. The board then ordered that the work be given the county nurse, and instructed her to secure the necessary help. The physicians pointed out at the series of meetings that the clinic should be in the form of an intensive drive with ?.11 the doctors of Warren participating in order that the best coverage possible might be obtained, claiming that unless such coverage resulted, the clinic would not serve its purpose. The commissioners said that the cost of the election and a desire to hold down expenses to a minimum would necessitate the work being done at a much lower figure than heretofore, and that they saw no reason why the work could not be done by the county nurse. The board ordered that John C. Powell of Fork township receive a reduction from $15 to $10 valuation on his low-acre tract known as the Martha G. Alston place on account of timber cut and removed. Any person owning a dog in Warren shall not be accepted on the insolvent list, the board ruled upon motion of John L. Skinner without dissenting vote. The board ordered that Mrs. Hawkins, one of the heirs of the T. C. Alston estate in River township, be allowed to pay her part of the taxes on said estate, together with penalty and costs; it being on one brick store and Hunt residence on Mosby avenue in the town of Littleton. Further, should the county attorney so rule, the auditor is instructed to reduce the penalty to 6 per cent. The board ordered that the premium on the Warkmen's Compensation Act bond be paid according to the property valuation of each township. Commissioner Newell voted no. _ 4 Warrenton Precinct Elects Committee All Warrenton precinct Democrats in good standing are privileged to attend the county meeting at Wara. a Jt 9 ?? 4-Via renton on saiuraay anu cast uw precinct's 23 votes for delegates to represent the county in the State Democratic meeting at Raleigh on July 3.
