Service, made public today by tfie
Statae Department of Agriculthre.
The figures quoted are for August,

In the eastern counties, the New-

CHEMIST FORESEES
NEW SOCIAL ORDER
James F. Norris Says Discoveries Will
Produce Limitless Energy in the
Future. 1
Philadelphia, Sept. 15. —A remak
ing of the eutire social order in mas
tery of the atom by science, was fore- 1
seen by Prof. James F. Norris, of the j
Massachusetts Institute of Techno!-|
egy, In bis annual address tonight as >
president of Hie American Chemical
Society.
-‘.'WV know the atoms cousist of un
thinkable, amounts of bound up ener

ton the energy will spring out ahd
we can use it,” he declared.
“There will then be no underground
lUtyes and no coal barons. A limit
less supply of energy will make over
the world. Every man will have
time to taste the joys of life.”
May Replace Gold Standard
Asserting that suc’.i a discovery
would destroy our present system of
social values, he predicted “an econ-.
oinie upheaval that would force' upon
the world a change from the present
unsatisfactory system based upon gold
to a more rational one based on some
thing more fundamental —perhaps the
value of a man's labor, or in neces
sary commodities.” •
.“Whatever the result,” he said, “we
would sea new standards set up which
would change society in such away
that a more equable distribution of
wealth- would follow. Property rights ,
in natural resources would disappear.
“A family would not live for gen
erations in affluence and produce noth
ing as the result of the purchase by
a forefather of a copper miue when
the demand for the metal had not de
veloped. It ia impossible to con
ceive of the extent df the social revo
lution that would follow practical
transmutation of the elements.” |
Chemists to Utilise Energy I
Professor Norris denied these views
were a fantasy and contrasted life a
century ago with that of today to
prove the practieability of bis state
ments. I
Chemistry, he said, now is learning'
how to obtain and use energy with a
high intensity factor. f
He told of a drop of colorless oil
that had been formed from methane—}
the chief contituent of natural gas— i
as the result of the action of this form j
of energy upon it. . / j
“That droplet,” he said, “meahs a i
supply of combustible liquor to run 1
our automobiles when petroleum is ex- J
hausted.”
“We can make methane from car-;
bon and hydrogen when the supply
of natural, gas fails ua. The Bun will
always be able to convert carbon dtox-,
ide into a form from which we can
recover carbon.”
He decried critics who would say
the cost of producing this liquid would
be prohibitive and pointed out that
the coat of electricity when first pro
duced also was prohibitive.
A feature of the evening session
was in presentation of the Priestly
medal for 1026 to Dr. Edgar Fahs.
Smith,, former Prevost of the Unlver-,
sity df Pennsylvania, and a former
president of the society in recognition *
of bia work as an electro-chemist and ■
his researches in the history of chem-j
istry. The medal ia awarded by the'

CAMPAIGN ORATORY
It Is Hoped That Senators Simmons
and Overman Will Take Part.
Tribune Bureau,
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, Sept. 15.—A flood of
Democratic oratory will shortly be
! unloosed in the state, according to
! the plans now being worked out by
John G. Dawson, chairman of the
i State Democratic committee, who is
in Raleigh today putting the finish
ing touches to arrangements for the
opening of Campaign headquarters
which is expected to take p’ace in «
few days. The- committee la hbpWff tV
iwcafed thb
"Sir Walter Hotel.
Despite the modest statement of
the over-modest chairman that no
spectacular or elaborate speaking
campaign is being planned in the
State, and that the campaign is going
to be conducted on a more or less
, modest scale, judging from the list f
prospective speakers which have al
ready tentatively agreed to assist
tho-eommittee in stumping the State,
the brand of spell-binding which may
be expected will be of the first water.
In fact, it looks ns if the Republican
forces and the Protective league will
have to get additional protection
against the verbal barrage that soon
}is to be forthcoming from the Demo
cratic ranks than that which is being
put up by Johnson J. Hayes, Re
publican-Protective League candi
date for the United States Senate
and Federal Judge.
1 It is hoped that Senators F. M.
Simmons and Lee S. Overman will bo
able to take some part in the cam
paign but nether tbeir time will per
mit them to take much part is still
problematical. However, all the ten
congressman from the State have
been called upon to assist the cam
paign and will be expected to do
1 their share of spell,binding in their
j respective districts, Mr. Dawson
I said. But those will by no means con
stitute oratorial battalion which will
hurl verbal, barrages at the opposi
tion in order to continue to make
; North Carolina safe for Democracy.
I Although the complete list of
speakers has by no means been com
pleted, when finished, it will com-
f prise a score of more of the out-1
standing men in the State who al
ready are well known for their abili
:ty aa speaker.
! While it is frankly admitted by the
committee that there is no big con
test in prospeet and that there is a
decided dearth of principles at
'stake, they see in the present cam
paign an opportunity to take numer
jous pot-shots at the Coolidge do
nothing administration and to follow
tip the advantage being gained
through the constantly increasing
renunciations of the. present adminis
tration in other States, especially
the recent defeat of Lenroot, and
administration supported in Wiscon
sin. In-other words, the members of
the committee realise that a most
.favorable psychological attitude ex
-1 tats all over thO country exists at
present toward the Democratic
. party, and they believe that now is
'a good time to utilize this favorable
'attitude. They believe that while no
l vital question may be at stake this
.fall, that seed sown on favorable
. ground now will undoubtedly bear
'fruit in 1928; that open minds now
; will be convinced and decisions
[crystallized that will be of value
I later on. t

CROPS GOOD
North Carolina’s Prosperity Continues,
Despite .Pessimism.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Ra'.eigh, Sept. 15.—North ~ Caro
lina's prosperity is continuing despite
,thc that exteted this /spring
when everybody thougfit crops were
going to ruin and that nothing would
be left but the land, according to the
crop reporting service of the United
States and State department of agri
culture, and it is only necessary to
refer to the government crop report |
for September, which shows an aver-1
age condition of 72 per cent, for ail
crops in tbe state. This means that |
in spite of early adverse condition, j
recovery not only is possible but that
the harvests are actually good, as
viewed from actual results of past
years.
Iu fact, the only prospect that does
not look as good now as it did some
weeks ago is cotton, the condition of
which has declined from 73 to 0!) per
cent, of a normal crop, with indica
tions that this estimate will drop
much lower iu subsequent reports, due
to far more extensive weevil and
hopper damage than had been antici
pated, and a damage tbut the farmers
even yet do not realize, according to
Frank Parker, of the crop reporting
service. There is a very light top
; cotton crop, due to the ravages of
the cotton hopper, and this forced the
weevil to attack the lower bolls with
the result that man# nearly mature
bolls that from casual observation
seem to be good, are seriously damaged
by the weevil.
However, the prospects for other
crops are of tbe best, corn rating 83
per cent, of a full crop, tobacco 79
per cent., apples 79 per cent., sweet
potatoes 78, with the other crops along
about the same. The indicated yield
of the corn crop is 47,931,000 bushels,
which is considerably better than last
year, showing an improvement of 3,-
000,000 bushels during the last
’ month. From a bad beginning, the
pastures and hay crops now are in
excellent condition. Peanuts, while
off stands somewhat, seem to indicate
, fair results if good weather continues,
while soybeans and cowpeas never
. looked better. A good crop of pecans
is in prospect from the pecan groves.
A summary of additional crop con-
ditions shows the following : late Irish i
potatoes, 64; cultivats haj's, 77; (
meadow hag. nine-tenths of a ton |
• yield to the acre; clover hay, 68 per |
cent, of a full crop; alfalfa, 75; pea
nuts, 78; cowpeas, 82; soybeans, 80; ,
sorghum cane, 83; pecans, 78; grapes, i
| 85; pears 67. The peach production ]
’ was 07 i>er cent, of a full crop.
This dhows, that North Carolina ;
has a large variety of important hay (
crops, even more than the states to
the north aud iu the west. The al
falfa, millet, sudan and Johnson grass ,
’ crops are estimated to be from three
. to four per cent, of th« total acreage.
, This shows that every kind of farm
in the state can grow its Own bay, .
the department points out.
