Judge Way Finds Precocious Plant Among His Orchids at Knollwood Baby Matures in Nearly Third Less Time Than Ordinary Varieties of Flower Judge W. A. Way, and his wife, who is as enthusiastic and industrious in the work as he is, may have struck on another decisive advantage of the climatic influence of the Sandhills. They have developed at the Orchid establishment at Knollwood a new seedling orchid which they have named Brasso-Cuttleya Cordea-Prowe. This name is not so fantdstic as it looks on paper, but it is in keeping with the scientific custom of naming new crea tions with the help of their parent stocks in order that the people who are familiar with the work may know whence the new varieties have sprung. Just as the Jones or the Smiths or any one else passes along the family name with the addition of a personal name to distinguish one Smith from another. The creation of a new orchid is not essentially a new thing, for the grow ers of this wonderful family of plants liave brought out many new' and fine flowers. In that respect the Judge and Mrs. Way are not excited any more than the ordinary individual is over the arrival of a new member m the household, and this case appears to add somewhat to the refulgent peace of the Judge’s mental top-loft, for it is a delicate and handsome flow-! er, with many of the good points of | its ancestry. But the feature that j stands out in this particular case is i that the time from the planting of j the seed in April, 1926, to the date of blof^soming in November, 1930, is little over four and a half years. Or dinarily an orchid takes abouc six years from planting to blossoming, which indicates that the Ways have brought out a type that is precocious in early blooming or that here m the Sandhills the climatic influences stim ulate the early development of the plants to such a degree that nearly a third of the growing period of the plant prior to the blossom has been cut out. If this should prove to be the case it is evident that the W^ay orchid houses have an inside track on any greenhouse of the North, for to cut the time of feeding and waiting for a plant to come into blossom from six years to four and a half means a big item in the costs of producing i degres, interesting scientific the flowers and a bigger return on | botany, biology, evolution, and every other relation of science to life has been studied, which one reason why men of studious Bulls For Guam Pinehurst Ayrshires Leave Here For Cruise to Far- Off Island Two bulls tiiat have a three months ocean cruize ahead of them, a journey that will take them half way around the world, left Pinehurst today by truck for Hampton Roads, Va., where they start their long sea voyage which will take them through the Panama Canal. Some years ago the United States Government se nt a herd of Ayrshires to one of its smallest land possessions, the island of Guam, near the Phil ippines, as a dairy experime!nt. Dr. 0. E. Reed, chief of the the bureau of dairy industry of the United States Department of Ag riculture, recently selected two new bulls to join the Guam herd from the herd of Ayrshires of Leonard Tufts at Pinehurst. They are Pinehurst Lucky Masterpiece and Pinehurst Good King. Pinehurst Good King is a son of Pinehurst King Pan, a bull bred by Henry Ford at his old home farm at Dearborn, Mich. The other bull is a son of Pine hurst Masterpiece and Barbara of Beech Hill Farm, which was the highest producing cow in the Unit ed States in 1927. Liauor Manufacturers Have Bad Week Here Police Pick Up Three Sixty-Gal- Ion Copper Stills and One “Baby Grand” other new varieties that have been originated at the Way plant indi cates that the general influence here in the sand and warm sun justifies the hope that the whole orchid fam ily may be susceptible to the genial conditions, or at least those of the Cattleya or those other genera that form the basis of the some hundred thousand plants at the Way house. The orchid is a remarkable plant, and is of wonderful range and exceedingly numerous in the lineage of its poster ity, many thousand varieties of sev eral thousand species existing. It is accepted by florists as among the high royalty of plant life, and like any other royalty it has its eccentricities. Ic has been cultivated to the highest Officers have been very actively engaged in fighting the illicit liquor business in the county during the past week, and as a result of their efforts, several majiuf<acturing plants hjave been put out of business, or at least forced to shut down temporarily. On Tuesday of last week, a “baby grand” outfit was captured near Brown’s mill about six miles above Hemp. It was a complete copper dis tillery of five-gallon capacity. Three barrels of beer, or what Deputy Sher iff Slack termed a three days’ run for this little plant, was found. Two white men, Edgar Garner and Frank Garner, made a hasty get-away. Fed eral officers Harris and Roseland and county officers Lambert and ^lack were in the raiding party. This same group of officers cut down a galvanized distillery of sixty- gallon capacity about four miles be low Southern Pines on Wednesday, and destroyed 150 gallons of beer, but did not find the operators. On Sunday, Officers Kelly and Lam bert and Deputy Sheriff Mudd of Montgomery county cut down a sixty- gallon copper outfit near Samarcand, end pouned out 100 gallons of beer, fermented ready for distilling. The best outfit captured in a long time was a sixty-gallon copper dis tillery which Officers Kelly and Slack located Monday pfternoon near Cole’s mill on the Glendon road six miles from Carthage. Two-hundred-fifty gallons of beer of the corn meal va riety ready to run, was destroyed. The officers did' not see anybody around the still. THREE ACT COMEDY TO BE PRESENTED SOON The three act comedy will be pre sented Decernber 14th by members of the Senior Christian Endeavor So ciety of the Church of Wide Fellow ship. Home talent plays are a rare treat in Sooitheirn, ^ Pines, and far surpass the average callibre of ama teur theatricals which some people at tend, either because they are ac quainted with those taking part, or wish to assist the cause for which the plays are given. “At the Sign of the Pewter Jug” is the title of the play which has been carefully chosen from a large number of comedies for pre sentation by the society. It will *be given by the following cast: the Misses Algene Edson, Doris Eddy, Evelyn Lyford, Nellie Simons, Doro thy Case, Eileen Loomis, and Messrs. Alden Bowers, Mark Manning, Gar land Pierce, Tho^rntoji Sl^ackleford, and Frederic Cole. This group of play ers is under the direction of Miss Ruth Sergeant who has supervised productions given previously by the Society, and to whom much credit is due for successful performances. MOORE COUNTY HOUNDS SEASON OPENS SATURDAY The opening hunt of the season for the Moore County Hounds, of which James and Jackson Boyd of Southern Pines are joint masters, will be held next Saturday afternoon from the kennels on Weymouth Heights. The card calls for hunting with the drag- hounds on Saturday and Wednesday afternoons and with the foxhounds on Monday mornings during the seas on. Hunting with this pack is by in vitation only. The season for the Sandy Run Hounds, of which Verner Z. Reed, Jr. is master, opened last Friday on the Reed estate beyond Pinehurst. A large field followed the pack over the coun try which Mr. Reed has been develop ing during the past year. Mr. Reed’s pack is also a private one, his card calling for hunts on Mondays, Wed nesdays and Fridays during the win ter by invitation. Nearly $100,000 in placer gold was washed last season from the newly mined tributaries of Cache Creek, near Talkeetna, Alaska. Bakers’ Food Store Everything Good to Eat Southern Pines, N. C.

DEPARTURE DELAYED BY ENGINE TROUBLE men Derailment of a Norfolk Southern locomotive hauling Pullmans from Pinehurst to the Seaboard connection at Aberdeen delayed the departure of a large number of persons from the Sandhills Sunday night. The locomo tive jumped the track at Aberdeen and it was 10 o’clock before the 6:45 train pulled out of Southern Pines. The train pulled two private cars in addi tion to a heavy load of Pullmans.

The seedlings grew and thrived. Every one of the thousands is catalogued in ! his record book, with its ance s-try, j for every plant is propagated as care- j i fully as the highest thorouzh-bred i I live stock it. Every seeding in the ! houses is the result of the pollena-! tion of individual plants from ihe pol-1 H len of plants that have been selected j H for the cross, and the Judg? knows | P the parents of every plant in his place. | U So when this new flower conies into | ^ •51 blossom he knows that its parents IS III were the Cordelia and the Prowe, and I U :: I that their ancestry 6f the second gen-! § erations goes to the Brasso~r.att*^lya | U stock, the strain entering the new j § plant from more than one line. The parents of the new plant were chosen v/ith due regard for what the off spring of the selected plants would produce, and while some features of father and mother stand out ri^ht plainly, some are suppressed by the antagonisms that oppose each other in the parentage, while some olhers are modified in interesting manner. From now on all new plants origi nated by Judge Way will bear the fo cal name of the greenhouses, which is Carolina. So the new flower is to be lobeled Carolina Corde-Prowe along with its Brasso-Cattleya name, rnd every other new flower will have that same Carolina addition to its name to designate the place of its origin, which will also be a certificate of its character. If it develops that the three months more of sunshine and the moisture | conditions of the atmosphere and of' the sandy soil prove to be so favor- I able to orchid growing as this preco- 1 cious flower appears to indicate it is | III likely that the Carolina Orchid grow- I i ers of' Knollwood will find their in-1 dustry not only taking a lead in the | »•♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦- »»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦ XX ♦♦ :: XX a Country Homes Between the Villages In this land of extended acreage it is not necessary for any man to confine his home to a fraction of an acre with his neighbors looking in his sidewindows, and no room to turn around on his lawn. An acreage site, two or three or a dozen or twenty- five acres, will give so much more comfort, and so much more individuality and freedom. The admirable plan of the Sandhills, with villages here and there affording the moaern conveniences of water, lights, telephones, electric power, good roads, and all those things to the lands outside of the villages, solves the plan of country privileges and town comforts. s H H it a H ♦♦ tt ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ H H EX1»'='!IIENCE COUNTS EXPERIENCE COUNTS We Have Arranged to Hav& DR.
