Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, 0ct.23. —Tests lasting over five years at t-iie Piedmont branch sta i tion near Statesville show 'that now ; is the proper time to plant such small grains as wheat and oats, according to a statement issued yesterday by G. M, Garren, cereal agronomist for the North Carolina experiment station. Experiments in wheat show that grain planted on October first yielded 11.2 bushe'.s per acre over a period of five years. When the grain was ■ planted on October 15th the yield was 13 bushels and Warn planting was done ou November first, the yield was. 15 bushels. From November first the planting date was as late as Novein acre was'secured. “This indicates,” says Mr. Garren, “that November first is the best plant ing date for wheat at Statesville. Since all seeding cannot be done in , a single day, some margin must be allowed and ns better fields Were se cured from the October 15th planting than from the November loth plant ing, the margin should extend back into October. Thus from October 20th until November Ist appears to be the best period for sowing wheat in the piedmont section of the State. Late seeding should always be avoid ed according to the tests. Then, for the mountain region the seeding should have been completed. For the eastern section of North Carolina some delay after the regular planting dates may be permitted/’ Mr. Garren finds that the same dates also apply to oats. From October 15th to November Ist is a good period as the station secured its highest yield per when the seeding was done between those dates. Yields of 37.6 bushels per acre were secured when these dates were observed as com pared to 28.3 bushels when later seed ings were done. As a result of Mr. Garren’s studies on this subject, the experiment sta tion advises immediate seeding of fall grains. •> MACON COUNTV MAN FOUND DEAD IN ROAD.

C„ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23,1926 TALKING UNDER WATER IB NEXT SCIENCE FEAT Navy Experts Predicting Voices at Sea Bottom Boon Heard. By WILLIAM 8. NEAL (International News Service Staff Correspondent) Washington, Oct. 23.—Having made the atmosphere an almost perfect medium for transmitting the human voice, scientists now are redoubling their efforts to make it simple to tojk under water. Navy experts predict that in the fu ture it will be almost as simple to communicate in the depth of the i ocean as above it. Terming the new science, "super sonics,” the navy’s experts are bend ing their energies in particular to ward improvement of communication i between submarines. thy. World War great has• been made in the art of under-- water communication and depth sound ing, says an announcement by the navy depramtnet. Up until 11)18 the chief mediums were audible sound re ceivers and transmitters. Discoveries in the application of the Piezo-electric effect to underwater sound transmission and reception, however, have opened up n new field. Use of Short Waves “The term ’supersonics’ refers to frequencies above the limits of audi bility of the human ear,” says the navy announcement. "For instance, the human ear may be considered a sound receiver tuned to receive sounds lying between frequencies of 30 to 30,- 000 cycles per second. Bounds lying above this spectrum are inaudible and the reception of these sounds is ae coiuplished by the use of the hetero dyne principle. "By use of these short waves, it has been possible to telephone under water and to telegraph at speeds of 20 to 30 words per minute. This is con sidered by scientists as quite an ad vance over the older methods of audi ble transmission and reception under water.” So important does the navy regard i the possibilities of underwater com munication t-.iat the Naval Research I Laboratory at Bellevue. t>. C„ has ea tablished a sound division with I)r. Harvey C. Hayes acting as superin tendent. Two barges have been fitted ; up to be used in the sound experi ments. The research has been spurred, not only here but abroad, as a result of the submarine menace during the World War. At the beginning of the war, the navy's devices for detect ing the presence of submarines through sound receivers were unsatisfactory. Toward the end of the war great im provement was made. Now a sonic depth finder has been developed which it is declared will accurately place a submarine in depths of 40 to 4,000 fathoms and in a radius of forty miles. New Depth Finder A new peace-time use has been dis covered for the sonic depth tinder. When the navy department was called upoir to survey the route of the war department's submarine telegraph ca : b'.e which serves Alaska, the problem on a rough ocean bed, made up partly of submerged mountains faced it. But the use of the sonic depth find-- 1 er—measuring the depth of the water 1 by tbe angle of reception of the ves sell’s own propeller sounds which were reflected—the navy experts were able to make a map of the bed of • the ocean Without seeing it. J Another use for this war-born de -1 vice is in protecting Atlantic ship ! laned against huge ice-bergs. The ’ distance and bearing of the bergs is • obtained by means of echoes given off • by the submerged faces of the bergs. ■ While the range is still somewhat 1 limited, scientists hope to perfect the • sounder to a degree where it will be | comparatively easy to spot icebergs J and plot their cbnrse. 1 Spain was the first nation M • modern Europe to know cotton botji; • as'so agrieutural product and as aj - textile fiber. The Moors introduce.! cotton into Spain in the ninth an£] t tenth centuries and achieved grcaH wkill and artistry in its conversion. ,Ij| CO-OPS WILL HOLD The Cotton Association Will Handle About 300,000 Bales. , , Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Oet. 23.—Super staple and almost entirely without blemish are f'iiaraeteristies of cotton now stored by the North .Carolina Cotton Grow ers' Co-operative Association, but very little is being sold, according to an interview given last night by Manager C. B. Blalock, of the state association with headquarters in Raleigh. Mr. Blalock declared that a few thousand bales were sold at the open ing of the season, but from all parts of the co-operntive communities come requests that the association hold. The organization is primarily a hold ing corporation. It is designed to aid in the orderly marketing of the crop. .The work is made easier, Mr. Blalock indicates, by the cordial sympathy of the men who grow the crop. Mr. Blalock declares that the deliv eries are good. He has no complaint on that score, but the association which will probably handle 300,000 bales of the 15)26 crop will sell few bales while the price hangs about its present figure. It so happens this year that the cotton is exceptionally fine. That is according to a sort of Burbank or eugenics rule. The co J operatives have been encourage to cul tive a better staple. They are doing it and this year they will have far and away the best lint that can any where be found in North Carolina. Being primarily a holding corpora tion the association has not gone in for reduction as a regular business, but it is helping in that and in financ ing. The rewards for a fine grade of cotton quickly picked and adequately housed are not what an orthodox grower would like, but the tiller gets the spiritual benefit of doing a thorough job and never has that been so well done as this year. 17 AMERICANS REPORTED DEAD IN HURRICANE Perished When Great Storm Struck Isle of Pines—Total Deaths Num ber 32.

THE COTTON MARKET , i Prices Generally steady in the Early Trading. Alter Advance of 5 to 7 i Points.

Very little Southern 1 selling was in evidenee. while cover ing in advance of the week-end and Monday’s government crop report was probably stimulated to some extent by relatively steady Liverpool cables and'a belief that the market had al ready discounted a considerable in crease in the probable crop indica tions.

Another private report was issued . placing the condition of the crop at 80.2 and the indicated production at 16,920 bales.

It is probable that Olive Borden would not have been starred in four of her pictures if she had had a bob.. All four parts made it essentiul that the actress have luxuriant and long hair.
