KU KLUK THREATEN ALLEGED BOOTLEGGERS Elizabeth City, Oct. 26. —A warning to quit selling liquor anti a threat of another visit in two weeks if the warning was not heeded was served last Friday night upon Jack Colson and Lee V.'ikon, residents of the Hog Neck Section of Parquimans county by the Hertford Ku Khik Klsn, ac cord ng to reports reaching here to day. Colson and Wilson have been re puted bootleggers for a long time. Colson was recently convicted un der the Volstead Act in Federal Court and paid a fine, but the fine has not slowed up his bootlegging operations to any appreciable extent, acording to hearsay reports. Whether the Ku-Kluk threat will be any more effective than the Fed eral Court remains to be seen. I Professional Cards i I A. R. HOUSE ATTORNEY AT LAW Office in Old Citizens Bank ZEBULON, N. C.

IS GAINING IN; FIG "IT ON T. 3/S Figutre Show Big Gain Control of Disease North Carolina during the past 10 years has been carrying on a victori ous fight against the ravages of tu berculosis. While there were 2701 deaths in ! this state from the disease, in its various forms, last year, nearly one for et-ch 1,000 population and despite the fact that that figure, being high er than the number 1923, is discour aging to those interested in seeing i the disease brought under control, a comparison of figures for the past 10 years show that there is a gradu ally decreasing number of deaths in this state from tuberculosis, and an even larger decrease in the ratio of deaths in comparison with population. The figures complied by the bu reau of vital statistics of the State Board of health show that the to tal number of deaths in this state from tuberculosis in all forms de creased from 3,710 in 1915 to 2,545 in 1923. The figures also show that the number of deaths per 100,000 population dropped from 166.4 H 1915 to 94.7 in 1923. In 1914 there were 3,260 deaths in North Carolina from tuberculosis, or 139.3 for every 100,000 population. The next year, 1915, showed a big increase, both in the number of the deaths and in the rate per population. The total number jumped to 3,710 in 1915 and the number for each 100,000 population to 156.4. Since 1915, there has been a steady decline, both in the total number of deaths and in the rate of deaths from tuberculosis for each 100,000 popula tion. The decrease continued steadi ly, each year, through 1923, but last year showed an increase. The total number of deaths from tuberculosis in 1923 was 2,545, as compared with 2,701, an increase of 156, in 1924. The rate per 100,000 population increased from 94.7 in 1923 to 99.1 in 1924. Commenting on the death rate in North Carolina from tuberculosis, Dr. I P. P. McCain, superintendent and medical director of the North Caro lina Sanatorium for the Treatment of Tuberculosis, at Sanatorium, gives an explanation of the high rate in this state. His statement, also, may par tially explain the increase in tuber culosis deaths last year, although he does not refer to that. He points out that there are tu berculosis patients from all over the United States at the government hos pital at Oteen, and says further: The death rate from tuberculosis in North Carolina is also considerably higher than it would be were it not for the number of deaths in this government hospital, and on account of the large number of deaths of Western North Carolina, due to the fact that it is a tuberculosis resort for people from all over the United States.”—News and Observer. Formulas Given For Fertilizers Because of recent agitation about the use of muriate of potash and sul phate of potash in fertilizers for to bacco, a committee of agronomists re cently met at State College here to outline recommendations for the fer tilizing of bright tobacco and dark tobacco in the slates of North Caro lina and Virginia. • % This committee was composed of Dr. W. W. Garner, of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, Prof. T. B. Hutcheson, of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute E. G. Moss, director of the Tobacco Branch Station at Oxford, and L. G. Wills W. F. Pate, and C. B. Williams, of the division of agronomy at State College,..- . After a study of the question, the committee, agreed in so frr as bright obacco w£s concerned, that’ from 800 o 1,200 pounds pf fertilizer per acre should be used in the drill .at, or just before, planting. For the Piedmont Section, it recommended either an ■8 3-3 mixture or a 10-4-4 mixture. It recommended for the coasoil plain section an 8-4-4 mixture, and stated that where the sandy loam soils con tain large amount of organic matter, the nitrogen should be reduced "one per cent. Where th e soils are very sandy, the potash should be increased two to three per cent. Where sand drown or magnesia hunger prevail, the committee stated that ths ferti lizers should carry at least two per cent of magnesia. This may be de rived from sulphate of potash-mag nesia, dolomitic l mestone, or other material carrying magnesia in a form ZEBULON RECORD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30 10? F,. available to the plant, it was pointed out. As to the sources of the plant food constituents, the committee recom m- rides that the phosporlc acid !><• do- j rived fro mao-id phosphate. The sul- ' p.hate of potash-magnesia, muriate of j potash, or sulphate of potash. Diseu. ; i: 7 the use of potash, the 1 committee says: Available experimental data at this | time from bright tobacco sections of North Carolina and Virginia have' shown that muriate of potash gener-! ally produces tobaco of equal or bet- j ter yield and market value than that reduced by the use of sulphate of j potash. In view of the fact, however, that experiments have shown that an excessive amount of chlorine in fer tilizers for tobacco ijurres its burning qualities, it is recommended that such fertilizers be compounded with the above named sources of potash in such proportions that the fert.li zers shall contain not more than one unit of chlorine for two units of pot ash.” Stable Manure Good For Grains By C. B. Williams, Chief Department of Agronomy, State College of Agriculture Small grains are usually greatly benefitted by applications of stable manure, or by plowing under the stub ble or whole of such crops as soy beans, cowpeas or red clover. In a case where a moderately large quan tity of manure is to be used it will usually be the better practice to ap ply only a small amount of it before seeding the crop, reserving the great er portion to be applied broadcast daring the late fall or early winter. Large applications of nitrogenous ma terials either in the form of manure or commercial fertilizers should be guarded against as they will tend to promote an excessive growth of straw which will ferquently show a ten dency to lodge. For sour soils, aplications of ground limestone at the rate of 2,000 to 3,000 pounds per acre will prove beneficial, especially so where vetch or crimson clover are sown wit hthe small grain. The lime should be ap plied, when practical to do so, at least two weeks in advance of seeding and should be thoroughly mixed with the soil by harrowing or disking. A large vigorous growth of stalks and leaves of of a dark green color is a very good sign that for that particular soil nitrogen is not necessary to be added, but if the plants perviously grown on the land have been small and of a pale green color, if the phy. sical condition of the soil is good, nitrogen is indicated to be necessary in the fertilizer application. For average wheat soils of the Pied mont section of North Carolina that have beei) well prepared, the use of something like 500 to 600 pounds per sere at the time of seeding of the small grain of a fertilizer mixture analysing 10 to 12 per cent available phosphoric acid and about 3 per cent of nitrogen and 1 per cent of potash at seeding time will be found to give profitable returns where good seed are used and they are sown at the proper time. Should the small grain in the sprin gat the time for the for mation of seed not make satisfactory growth, are of good color and the land is well drained, a broadcast ap plication of 75 to 100 pounds of ni trate of soda or sulphate of ammonia will usually prove beneficial, especi ally so for those lands that are poor. For small grains in the Coastal Plain section it is suggested that 400 to 500 pounds per acre of a fertilizer mixture containing 8 per cent avail able phosphoric acid, 5 percent ni trogen and 3 per cent of potash be used at the time of seeding. When small grains are selling at a fairly reasonable price, fertilizers properly selected an dused will gen erally prove profitable, especially so with these crops grown on clay and sandy clay soils.

Event CieiiL tin Vj i.l Vaci R> 9 3* ZZ *t v/ * I —1 The second annual field trials of I the Central Carolina Field and Ken nel Club, of Raleigh, will be held Do- j comber 14-19 at Mount Vernon Spring In Chatham county. The initial event of the club held last year was a splendid success, and the interest manifested in the coming trials in such as to lead its promoters to the belief that Central Carolina will in due time stage trials that will assume national importance. The kennel club is sponsored by well-known Central Carolina men., Dr. Louis J. Pegram, well-known den- ’ tist is the president. P. H. Powell,; of Denton, is first vice-president, and Dr. W. T. Scarborough Raleigh vet erinarian, is the secretary-treasurer. The headquarters for the field trials will be at the Mount Vernon Springs Hotel. Mount Vernon Springs is five miles from Siler City and one mile from Ore Hill, in Chatham county. At the last meeting of the club members the following committees were appointed to look after the run ning of the trials: Field Trial Committee: Dr. W. T. Scarborough, C. E. Hornaday, D. M. Campbell, Penn Marshall, R. J. Bull ard, P. H. Powell and Harvey L. Hendric. Ground Committee: Harvey L. Hendric and C, E. Hornaday. Entertainment Committee: Penn Marshall and R. J. Ballard. Hotel and Horse Accomodation: D. M. Campbell and Dr. L. J. Pegram. Publicity Committee: Dr. W. T. Scarborough and Ellis Speer. The entries for the coming trials | will close on December 7, but post entries will be accepted up to the night o fthe drawing for an addi tional fee of $5. Present indications are that dogs from all parts of North Carolina will be netered, and that there will be a number of well-known entries from outside the State. The following stakes will be run: Open stakes: The All-age Open Stake, $lO to nominate and $lO to . start, open to all dags regardless of i previous winnings, with purse includ , ing 75 per cent of all entrance and I starting fees divided as follows: Fifty per cent to the wityjer, 30 per cent, for secon dplace, 20 per cent for third. !

The open stakes will be run first during the trials. The other two events are the Mem bers’ Stakes, open to members in , good standing. The events comprise the derby and the all-age. The nomi , nating fee for these events is $5 and the starting fee $5. A handsome silver loving cup will be given as the . award in the derby and in the all-age , The av/ard will be 75 per cent of the starting and entrance fees, divided as follows: Winner, 50 per cent, seeond place, 30 per cent, third place, 20 per cent.

Sevai of 23 United Stares Navy seaplanes hen* for a Navy page: nt tomorrow broke from their moorings near Hol lers Point in a 75-mile gale Sundw :.d were strewn ah og a Cve-rniio stretch of beach Fund ay night. One plan**, moored off P«ay Shore Park, was torn free : r.d disappeared. Seven of the derelict planes were total wrecks when found. Hopes are held out that the other ten might be partially salvaged. Commander T. G, hlly-ey in charge of the squadron, aid only the six which held their anchors would he able to take part n the pageant, which is scheduled to precede the Schneider Cup Race at Bay Shore Park. Two of three pur suit planes moored at Bay Shore Park rode out the storm and were safe Sunday night. No report had been received regarding the where abouts of the third. It pitched out of sight on the bay, riding a high running sea. SAFEGUARDS AGAINST FIRE Statistics of fire losses from dif ferent countries show that the United States has the worst record of any in per capita fire losses. The Engineering World discusses our annual loss which is now more than half a billion dollars, or over $5 per capita. It shows that the losses in 1924, as unofficially given, indicate that they are at least 10 or 15 million dollars more than in 1923. It draws one conclusion—any solu tion of the national fire loss problem, will be found in an educative process to overcome this increasing waste. The magnitude of the problem can be grasped by the statement that di straction from all kinds of fires haa increased 269 per cent in the 20 years prior to 1923.
