COT-TON CHOPPING TLME
Farm Work in 'North Carolina Gels
Underway in Earnest.
IBy lhe AhmmSiUml rrcNß.l
Kaleigh. .V. (’., May 10.—Col (on chop
ping time is almost here.
The hire of fishing and other pleas
ures coming with spring, to ,be enjoy
ed when crop preparations are not un
derway, now must lie conquered as
farm work in North Carolina gets away
in earnest, according to officials of the
Agricultural Extension Service.
Dr. It. Y. Winters, of the Division
of Agronomy, in a statement issued
tonight, asserts recent exjteriments
conelnded by him prove conclusively
that thicker spacing, of cotton will
inly in increased yields per acre and
early maturity.
•’When codon is allowed to stand
thickly in (lie drills, that is about 0 to
H Inches apart in the drill and witli
one of two plunts lo each hill, the
competition for light tends to make
the plant grow upright without much
spreading,” he says.
“Then we have the main stem and
a large manlier of short fruiting■
branches instead of a larger linmiier
of vegetable branches and lohger fruit
branches. It takes a shorter time to
produce this stem and short fruiting
branches and for that reason dose
spacing stimulates earliness."
I>r. Winters said the experiments
conducted near North Carolina State
College show that when he allowed
cotton to stand as planted, thickly
in the row, he made a total of 1425
pounds of seed cotton tier acre: spac
ing the cotton eight inches yielded
1202 pounds of cotton and S]iuciug 12
inches a yield of 1250.
This would indicate, he says, that
cotton need not he chopped as in the
irnst. lmt due to grass and weeds it
is necessary to give at least 0 to 8
inches between the hills so that these
may be cleared out.

G REENSBORO RAILROAD
PASSENGER STATION CASE
Will Be Heard Before the State Su
preme Court Next Week.
fßaleigh, N. C„ 'May 9.—Hearing of
the Greensboro railroad passenger
station case is expected befqre the
State Supreme court next week about
Thursday^-according to an announce
ment by Edward C. Seawsll, ciers, to
day.
In a letter to counsel in both sides
of the case, iMr. Seawell has advised
that th{t hearing lias lieeit set speciu.
the court, which starts, Itiesday, May
15. Tw6 days, it is thought, will be
required for the disposal of inner
cases.
Tlie case developed out of the
action of the.voters of Greens uro
favoring a bond issue of not to ex
ceed $1,300,000 to the Southern Rail- '
way to build an adequnte passenger
station here. The election was held )■
in the spring of 1922 and was earned
by the .bond advocates In tace of
strong opposition.
.After the contract was said to have J
signed between the city and the
Southern Railway and a Greensboro
bank, acting as trustee, and every
thing was in readiness for construc
tion to begin with the sale of the
bonds, C. C. Hudson secured a ,
temporary injunction, restraining the ■
city- from issuing the bonds.
When the bearing on the proceed
ings -was held before Judge W. F.
Harding, a permanent injunction was ;
denied and the constitutionality of!
the step taken by the city upheld. ■
Mr. Hudson tmmedia'ely excepted to
the opin'.on. however, and filed a
petition with the supreme court. '
Attorneys for Greensboro take the
position that the plan whereby the
Southern proposed to provide funds
with which to pay all interest on the j
bonds and retire the entire amount
jat the end of thlrti years is such
nature as to guarantee the city j
against loss.

MRS. POINDEXTER ASSAILS
PLAZA WOMEN WORKERS
Says Night Life Fills liovernment Ho
tels and Girls Pose at Windows in
Nighties.
Washington, D. May 10.—Mrs.
Miles Poindexter, who started the
tongues of Washington society wag
ging some time ago with her high
lights on, doings in inner circles here,
is still slinging a trenchant pen.
The latest expose of the wife of the
American Ambassador to P.eru has to
do- with thie women, worsts in -.cxoc*-
utive departmV'ht who lire in the gov
ernment-owned dormitories build on
Union Station Plaza.
To hear Mrs. Poindexter tell it, the
plaza hotels are centres of "night life"
ami idled with "admirers" of the come
ly young Government workers. Fur
thermore, the ainiiassadorial matron in
timates that the girls were positively
naughty at times.
She concedes that this era has pass
ed and that the hotels are now tilled
with decent women.
"Not much has been said about it,”
wrote Mrs. Poindexter, "but the city
attracted • wild women’ (during the
war) from all over the country."
Just to show that she kept her
weather eye open, Mrs. Poindexter
adds:
"Some of the war workers lived not
far from me, and they took a good deal
of pleasure, apparently, in posing at
their windows in extreme negligee for
the education of passers-by or peoide
across the street.”
Mrs. Poindexter advocates the clos
ing of the Government hotels, but con
cedes that the women have no place to
go.
Indignant denials were, forthcoming
from Mrs. Sarah K. Sumner, general
manager .of the hotels, and others.
"It is the most outrageous story I
have' ever read,” stud Mrs. Sunnier.
”To my knowldege Mrs. Poindexter
has never been inside the hotels and
certainly had no real knowledge of
them.
"The conditions here are, and always
have been, wholesome and moral.
“In the three years I have been man
ager there has been only one case that
had to be investigated. The women
here are business women, interested in
their work. The managers of each
building are women of high moral char
acter who take a real interest in
their guests. When the girls have
dances they are chaiieroned by women
whose duties are to act In that capac
ity and see that every tiling is con
ducted properly and in order. A ma
tron patrols the corridors of each
building all night long.
"I do not know what Mi’s. Poindex
ter means by night life. Os course the
girls have the average number of men
j callers, hut all must leave by 11
: o'clock. They receive them in the sit
ting rooms or lobby and the house
mannger or her assistants are always
nearby.'*
1 Many of the girls never have a call*
I er, according to some of the house
' managers. Many of them are college
graduates and not a few are taking
extra courses after working hours.
Most of them do their own washing
i and Ironing nud make their own
clothes.
