After all, there is uo virtue- greater than that charity which "suffereth long and is kind.'' Holies! EOS)! may honestly ditlcr about a thousand things. Not all. trust magnates are robber baron, not all politicians are grafters, not all Socialists are revolutionists. A good deal of hysteria is evident in the public . temper of our time . Thu war passions have not yet wholly subsided . , The economic depression of the past four years is in reality due to the fact that the war bills sooner or later will have to be paid. The emotional unrest, th fears, hatreds, jealousies, revolutions, political upheavals, are part of the same debt . . . Even the economic depression is largely a state of mind. Human needs are what they always were. Human effort is required to supply them. In one form or another, value received is still available as a basis of exchange. If we are big enougn to ne content with simpler living,, to be patient while intricate problems are being solved, to ad mit that our neighbors, even across national frontiers, are presumably as honest as we are. we shall tuak pr.ogres's toward stability and a sound social order. The supreme need of the world today is fur mutual understanding and mutual confidence. The first step in that direction is the simple virtue of charity, the willingness to see the other -man's point of view, to desire his welfare no less than our own. Add the other irtne of patience, and make sure of our mm fundamental honesty of pur pose, and civilization -may vet be sav et AL.

Siler Article VIII WHY THE MOUNTAINS ARE BALD THIS legend was told to me by Albert Siler, my i i :i. : ,i:.,4.1.. f.-,.,, 1-m iainer-in-iaw, wno reeeiv.eu u uuccuv iunu mv. lips of Cherokee Indians. The story goes that before the white man set toot on this continent the high mountains in the country of the Cherokees, said by scientists to be the oldest mountains in the world, were all covered to their crests with noble timber. Todav most of our highest mountains are bald and many of them are so desig nated by their names, .such as Wayah Bald, ..Co wee Bald, Ki'msey Bald, Tellico Bald et cetera. Many have wondered why this is so, for the tops of these mountains are not above the timber line. Many years ago, while the Indians were still build ing mounds in which to bury their illustrious dead, a terrible thing happened. A great bird, or monster shaped like a hornet with far-reaching wings, evil eyes ami huge talons, swooped down from the clear sky among a group of happy Cherokee children playing in the sand near the village of Naquessee, seized a small child and carried it swiftly away. The people j were filled with terror and their apprehension increas ed as they heard reports of children in other Indian villages being carried away by the demon bird. The tribes for many miles around gathered to dis cuss what thev should do. Thev decided to place watchers on the tops of the high mountains, near enough together so they could call from one to the other with a loud "halloo" and thus pass the word from mountain top to mountain top when the mons ter appeared in the skies. The Cherokee word for 'halloo" is "tau-keet.v Some think the name the Indians gave the fearsome bird was "tau-keet-a" and I have heard that they also applied this name to Way ah Bald, because the top of this mountain was sup posed by some to have been the home ol the great bird. But, according to the legend as told to me, the "tau-keets," or sentinels, finally traced the monster to a hiding place, or den, among the great cliffs on the southern side of Standing Indian, known to the Indians as "Vou-wah-chula-nar-ya" (Indian Standing.) The bird's lair, however, was not found without a great deal of toil, for the Cherokees could not trace its flight until they had cleared the timber from the tops of all the tall mountains so their sentinels could have a clear vision of the sky and the surrounding mountains. This, of course, was a tremendous task and required the efforts of many men for a number of months. Then the bird was finally seen to fly into the cliffs on the southern side of Standing Indian, but the nest v.as inaccessible. Two braves managed to crawl into the lops of two of the tallest hemlocks beneath the cliffs and from there to peer into the lair. ( )n a great ledge of rocks the' saw a brood of voting bird:., to which the monster had been feeding the Indian children. The Cherokee tribes gathered beneath the cliff and tried for days to reach the demon's nest-to de stroy it and its offspring, but their efforts were in vain. The walls of granite were perpendicular and were worn slick by ages of rain and snow ; they were impossible to climb. After many days of useless effort, the savage tribes decided to pray to the Great Spirit to come d i heir aid. as it was beyond human power to destroy the fearful enemy. For days and nights they called on the Great Spirit and final! were rewarded. One morning a terrible clap of thunder came from a dear sky. The earth around the mountain where hundreds were gathered in solemn prayer was shaken as the great cliffs were rent asunder by lightning so vivid that everyone fell with his face to the ground. Heavy thunder rumbled and dark clouds rolled up M LOW GRADE FEEDS CAUSE POULTRY LOSS OST of the dangers of food poisoning of chickens can be attributed to the use of low-grade materials in home mixed feeds or allowing mashes to become damp and decompose, says K. S. Dear- styne, head of the poultry depart ment at State College. Feeds mixed from the best ma terials, particularly ingredients known to be good chicken food, will not poison the birds. Birds, however, may be poisoned by eating fertilizer or feeds which have come into contact with fer tilizer. Hence, Deirstyne warned against permitting chickens access to freshly fertilized fields or to buildings where fertilizer is stored. Many causes of high mortality are found in chilling, over-heating, crowding, poor sanitation, and genu diseases, and not so frequently in poisonous foods as some poultry men seem to think, he said. When bothered by a heavy loss of birds, the poultrytuan should check every possible cause for the high death rate. Then if he can not determine the cause, he should send several specimens of his flock to the poultry disease laboratory at State College. With the birds should be a careful description of the trouble and the way he has been managing his flock. He also advised that there is little use for a poultryman to send 1 . 1 , .1. Ci.. a rcauy-mixcd masn 10 me piaic laboratory for testing to see wheth er it has a detrimental influence on chicks. In the mixture the various elements lose their identity and it would be almost impossible to tell which element, if any, is causing trouble. i He also pointed out that the only practical way to test a feed is t,, give it to chickens for some period of time. This is rather slow, am! when done in the laboratory it is also expensive. The Farmer's Question Box Timely Questions Answered by N. C. State Collv Experts Question: How much nitrogen fertilizer should be applied to apple and peach trees? Answer: The amount of this fer tilizer needed may be judged by the diameter of the tree. For apples the general rule is to ipply in pounds the amount equal "'- one half the diameter in inches. Teach trees get the amount in pounds equal to one-fourth of the diameter. Moderately pruned trees on poor GROWING MARKET FOR HOME-MADE CHEESE TH E increasing demand for North Carolina cheese is expected to send the production of cheese fac tories in this State to new all time record this year, says F. i. Farnham; dairy extension specialist at Stale College. North" Carolina merchants have shown a decided preference for cheese manufactured within the State, he added. In one hour, while he was in a North Wilkesboro fac tory, eight rush orders came in by telephone and telegraph. In view of the growing demand and the ract that local factories produced only 500,000 pounds of cheese in 1933 as compared wi h the 12,000,000 pounds that had to be purchased from other states, I l eal farmers should find the market sandy loam soils will require a ' for their milk expanding rapidly. slightly heavier application than trees on clay soils and orchards in sod require more than those in cultivation. Question: Should eggs with a slight coloration of the shell be used for hatching purposes? Answer: The coloration oft shells from purebred flocks shows a devia tion from breed and should not be used for hatching, especially if the baby chicks are to be sold as ptire breds. I'nless the birds are trap nested it will be difficult to identi fy the birds producing off-color eggs and, where the poultryman is doing his own breeding, it would be well to discard the present male birds and replace them with birds from flocks that have not shown this trouble. Already the factories are pro ducing around 25 per cent more cheese than they were at this time last year and the prices paid for milk have advanced sharply. Indications are good, he said, that present prices wilt hold up fairly well, or possibly increase, and that the demand will continue strong. HOME GARDEN ACRE HAS HIGH VALUE The value of a home garden has been demonstrated by the detailed reports of 10 farm women who produced $1,0.25 worth of truck on a total of 12 1-4 acres of garden, says E. B. Morrow, cxtcn- $35.03 for cotton, Morrow says sion horticulturist at Stall College. Of this amount, sales amounted to $94477, fruits and vegetables used at home were valued at $751. 03, and 1,803 quarts of canned goods were preserved at a value of $270.45. The 16 gardens represented $122. 89 for eacli family, and a per acre value of $160.51. The cost per acre for seed, fertilizer, and spray ma terials was $10. This compares well with the State average of 1124.15 per acre for tobacco and BEANS WITH CORN MAKE GOOD CATTLE FEED ELVET beans grown with corn, for soil improvement make an excellent cattle feed, says 1.. I. Case, animal husbandman at State College. George I- I'ate, Kobcson county iarniei, has demonstrated their val ue for wintering cattle after part of the corn has been removed or when 'hogged down with the corn. On a 20-acrc field this winter, after 225 bushels of corn had been gathered and the rest allowed to remain with the beans, he wintered 30 head of yearling and two-year-old steers and 26 head of hogs. In less than two months the steers made an average gain of 2.05 pounds per head each day. There also remained enough feed to maintain 18 head of breeding heifers for 28 days. His total gains were 3,415 pounds of beef, 1,265 pounds of pork, and a considerable improvement in the soil. LEGAL ADVERTISING LEGAL ADVERTISING Their voices, my, oh mv. oh my!
