Page Eight THE PILOT, Aberdeen and Southern Pines, North Carolina s friday, August 26, 1932. Tufts Reaffirms His Confidence in Alfalfa as Profitable Sandhill Crop Experiments on Little River Farm and at Dairy Prove Its W orth to Dairyman Hion H. Butler Leonard Tufts, who is pretty much of a farmer, says alfalfa is a crop the farmer of this section can look to with confidence if he is wiilinjr to take the bother of learning how to raise it on his arm and caring for it in a way to make it profitable. The Pinehurst farms have tried out al most everything to provide for their big dairy, which is a model dairy m every way and not merely a toy oi an experiment. Its success is not only in its dependable milk supply, bui also in the fine herd of cattlc it has built up and the great influence the Pinehurst Ayrshires have exerted all over this section of the state as well as in more distant territory. Mr. Tufts is confident of alfalfa, the chief reason being that it is a stable dependence at the Pinehurst farms. Contrary to the opinion of those who may argue against the success of al falfa in this neighborhood, the Pine hurst farms have excellent crops of alfalfa hay, and excellent alfalfa grazing. Alfalfa continues to succeed itself and to make dependable crops, covering the ground at all times and improving the soil in various ways, one being in its nitrogen gathering ability. Another is in affording a steadily inci'easing accumulation of organic material in the ground on which to build soil fertility a.s well asj to improve the physical condition of th' ground. Pinehurst is the outstand ing experimental farm operation of the central part of North Carolina, and its experiments arc for the def inite information of the establishment. Pinehurst wants to know about all matters pertaining to farming, not to tell about it, but to profit by what is learned. Nothing theoretical sat isfies Pinehurst. The knowledge sought is the kind that checks up on the ledger page. Therefore it is pretty conclusive. The thing that does not check profitably is discarded. That which shows gain is pursued. Therefore Pinehui’st tnsts are worth studying. The McLean farm on Little river, ■which a few years ago came into the Tufts group of farm operations, is proba*bly the exhibit of alfalfa most often seen, as a field lies by th^ roadside where the traveler from Southern Pines to Carthage encoun ters it. While it may not be the best display of what alfalfa will do it is enough to show that the crop is worth while. The farm is a good farm, which is a help to begin with, but it is no better than many others, which means that many others could prob ably make as good alfalfa. That en tire farm plant there on the river, W’ith its excellent cattle and horses, its hogs, its crops, and its care, tell '^hat farming can do if carried on under the proper system. Yet it tells Tittle but what has been known for a long time. Always the Eureka neigh borhood has been a good farming country. The folks of that section have had much to do with their suc cess, yet it is to be remembered that through that area is good land, no doubt better than some that is farm ed' elsewhere with less success. Good ttotton, good tobacco, good cattle, good fruit, good poultry, good men and women‘have been produced there. New farms are opening gradually, and old farms are holding their own as a rule. Yet the farmers are not growing wealthy. May be farming is not an occupation that piles up much wealth. Yet it is certainly a business that has sustained the nation. And it has sustained this county. Older Hothouse Tomatoes .Judfre Way to Devote Part of Orchid Plant to Vegetable Production Judge Way, at the orchid green houses, is departing from the one line, and will this fall devote a consider able space to the production of to matoes. He has planted a lai-ge num ber of Marglobe seeds and an Eng lish variety that is giving good re sults other places in hothouse cul ture. He will devote one house to the crop this fall following the first har vest with a second crop, later in the winter. With his usual careful me- thod.^. he has gone inoo the matter pratty thoroughly and his early plants will soon be ready to set for the first crop. Another bit of news comes from the greenhouse. Rassie Wicker, who knows all the plants around this neighborhood, came in the other day with two or three new native or chids which he had found out in the woods, and he has brought some seed fro-Ti the new discoveries which have been planted in the orchid houses and will be crossed with other plants when the seedlings have developed fruit. The crosses will be watched with much interest as this is the way in which many new plants are developed. THE OLD MILL By William V. Cai ter, Jr. Sometimes at dusk when ripples leave the lake ■\nd mirrored ducks are fading in the west; Sometimes when frogs aie hushed within the brake And shadows chase the feathered birds to nest; Sometimes I go and sit beside the mill Wheh night is stealing on, and once again .\s in the long ago a song will thrill My soul. The mill is wed to Time and pain. And passing years are in its twilight song— The cry of men who toil—of those who saw And those who reap as well, and reap so long— The sound of running feet and tteps so slow With age—the hum of loneliness—then all Ls still.

Wallace Win- borne, new State chairman, announc ed, saying he expected to “shell the woods” with the excellent forensic ma terial to be found in the former fac tions, now the united and militant ranks, of the ])arty. Efforts of a few of minor factions to stir up a controversy over the chairman, both before and after the meeting of the State Democratic Ex ecutive Committee here last week, were fruitless. Mr. Winboi’ne was elected unanimously as was Mrs. Thomas O’Berry, Goldsboro, while John Bright Hill, Wilmington, man ager for Robert R. Reynolds in his second primary for the Senate nomi nation, was named by Mr. Winborne as secretary of the committee. The i Reynolds forces and the J. C. B.

Some of the Sandhill lands are thin ; ami sandy. Yet none are nmch thin-1 ner and sandier than some of that landj in front of the dairy barns at Pine- j hurst where Professor Massey, long; associated vvith North Carolina ag-ri-’ culture, said truthfully that some ot' the best com he ever saw, was grown,; and where alfalfa thrives and helps to ^ maintain the Pinehur.st herd. 5§ome i Sandhill lands are not advisable for ■ cultivation at the present, but much of the more substantial soil is as cap-1 able now as it ever was of producing the crops, and niuch better now than | then, that subsisted this country fori a century. .\nyAvay the ni^ument is that Leo-j nard Tufts raises alfalfa. Bill Har-; rington, the Southern Pines printer,; raises his living on his gardrn, in cluding a cow, fed on the same gar- ■ den. Elliots raise poultry in the edge | of the village to have a large egg: trade in the community. Mose McDon. | aid is still shipping peaches at West | End. The Deep river country lives at j home. Part of the answer is that the | man who raises things for his fam- i ily and live stock to eat, has a mar ket at his own table, while the man : who lives by selling things is not i always so sure of a market, and the ’ market is the difference. The man; who eats his wheat an3 poultry andi, beef does not care whether the price i is a cent or a dollar. Of course with; 400,000 automobiles eating $40,000,-1 OOO worth of gasoline a year instead of mules eating corn and hay grown on the farm there is a difference. The | only way you can sell corn to an au- j tomobile is in hootch, and some driv ers do not use it that way. 1 sevcial weeks’ in the homo of hi? niece, Mrs. Thomas L. Black.

This cora ioic«ed as though it would make 4.0 bushels of corn to the acre easily and is well worth the time of anyune to go and see. Mr. Parks has been converted to the idea of cover crops and is not anly using these hiujsdf but is encouraging oth ers to do the same thing. Also on the this for a cover crop this winter. There is a good crop of seetf in the County' now »nd I sThceTely hope that everyone of these can be p£aced on the farms of Moore County farmers.
