P. Frank Buchan, one of the di rectors of the foundation, announced a contribution of $500 to this educa- n'onal fund by a resident of Southern IMnes. The work the foundation is do ing is entirely supported by contri- *)utions from residents of and visi tors to the community. Richandi Tufts, Pinehurst, is treasurer of the fund. E. Y. Floyd of the State Depart- r'ent of Agriculture at Raleigh will have field men in this section within the next two w?eks to take samples of tobacco fertilizer from those de- Mring to have it analyzed. B. B. Saunders, head of the Saunders To bacco Warehouse in Abred:en, is in iiceipt of a communication fjom E. (i Mos-, Senior Agronomist of the I'. S. Department of Agriculture and A.^ .sistant Director of the Tobacco Sta tion in this* section, relative to the use of fertilizer in, planting the next tobacco crop hereabouts. Mr. Moss’s letter states: Dear Sir: In reply to your etter of March SI relative to the use of fertilizer for tobacco will state that an 8-4-6 fertilizer is what we are recommend ing for the light sandy soils of North Carolina. It is very important that this mixtur^e does not contain over 2 per cent chlorine. In 1929 there v;as considerable injury to the young tobacco plants on light soils caused by the use of an excessive amount of chlorine. I think it a good policy v^'herever practical to have some of the fertilizer tested for chlorine con tent prior to the time of planting. I am enclosing copy of these recom mendations for your information. You can have them published or any part of them you think will be helpful to \our growers. You will notice that it is recommend'ed that two units of potash should be derived from high grade Muriate and the remainder from Sulphate Potash or Sulphate Potagfc Magnesia or both. If these recommen dations are followed, there will not be enough chlorine in the mixture to cause any injury to the growing plant nor in any way aff^t the burning quality of the cured lefa. . —E. G. MOSS. Senior Agronomist U. S. D. A. A forest fire, the fii'st of any conse- (,u_nce in the Sand.hills in some time, 'attracted many residents and visitors to the neighborhood of the Knollwood Airport on Tuesday. The blaze start- ( d somewhere east of the Pinehurst- Carthag’e road and burned over con siderable area. Game Warden Alex Firld was f>>re ed to flee to the protection of the dam on the Barber Pond when the wind shifted. Pilot Colton of the Air port did patroL duty in his airplame, l eporting the spread of the fire to tne fire wardens. No great damage result ed, but the fire furnished a thrill for ih'3 spectators and some hard work for the wardens. EASTER ORCHID SHOW AT JUDGE WAY’S GREENHOUSES The great mine laying campaign affected successfully over a sweep of 280 miles from the northern end of Scotland to the coast of Norway, to combat the German submarine, was interestingly described to members o^ the Kiwanis Club at their Wednesday luncheon by Richard Tufts of Pine- hurst, who as an ordnance officer during the war had a hand in the making of the bombs used. The week ly meeting was held in the library room of the Court House at Carthage, and was one of the best attended meetings of the year. Mr. Tufts told of the gigantic task which fell to the lot of America upon its entry into the World War, a task (.1 which little has been known, that oi minimizing the great shipping loss caused by the submarine. The Eng lish channel beinp- well mined and guarded by airplanes, the shipping was forced around the northern end of the British Isles, and there the submarines played havoc with it un til the possibility of mining that great '-tretch of water was conceived. Ralph C. Blown, a Salem, Mass., inventor, ?de possible the laying of a mine 1 arricr over so great an expanse 'Ivough th3 invention of a new type ('f mine which utilized the effect of -ale water'/upon conflicting- metals f('r its modus operandi. At a cost of ?-'79,00(),00’0, in round numbers, 70,- of the?«e mines were madie in the T'nit?d States assembled, shipped to ];'>ints in Scotland and laid within one year. Worth the Cost The effect was worth the cost, Mr. Trfts stated, as six submarines were ('efinitely known to have been de stroyed, six otheis damaged and five lo-^t which were probal)]y destroyed l^y the mines. What these U-boats v/ould have destroyed in dollars and lives no one knov/s. but the loss w’as ti rmsndous in ships and cargoes be- loro the laying of the mine barrier. The moral effect on the German navy was also i^reat, and Mr. Tufts said il had much to do with the mutiny which started in th? U-boat service i nd spread through the n?vy during ihe latter stages of the war. The min:s being discharged through chemical reaction when approached by steel-hulled vessels made the clear ing o fthe mined area almost as grert a pioblzm after the war as the laying of the mines was during it, hut this, Mr. Tufts said, was solved by the use of wooden sailboats hav ing no steel in their construction. Thsse swept the sea clear of the dan- g:r when hostilities had ceased. Mr. Tufts was engaged, in the mak ing of the secret explosive instrument used in the mines. He stated that the comphte min:s were made in 100 different factories in this country j-nd not assembled until all parts had been shipped from various parts of the country to the shipping point. They were then sent under convoy lo Scotland and transferred to the mine layers. Reviewing “Long Hunt,” James Foyd’s new book published last week by Scribners, the New York Times says in part: Mr. Boyd, in telling the story of Murfree, makes no attempt to paint out the crudities, the wildness, the moral freedom, of the life of the long hunters in the Tennessee and Mississippi territory. His picture is admirably composed, from the log houses of Hill Town, N. C., to the “Hell’s Half-Mile” of the Natchez waterfront. Thei'e are thrilling epi sodes aplenty in the narrative, rang ing from close contacts with bears to band-to-hand struggles with Indians. By and large, Murfree Rinnard is a successful hunter, but he is success- lul by right of character, not by dis pensation of an author determined upon pxitting the redskins in their place in a hemisphere that is divine ly appointed for Nordic exploitation. Mr. Boyd is an artist, not a dispen ser of “historical” hokum. If the slight streak of romanticism is unde ni? bly present in “Long Hunt,” the validity of the picture as a whole is not impaired. And above all, “Long Hunt” is a good story. MR.
