Locals Win Over Raleigh Eleven Score 7-fi; Raleigh Sport Edi tor Claims a Tie; I.oca Is (Jo to Goldsboro Thursday (Reported for the Hera!5) Smithficld opened He*r grid .sea son here last Thursday by defeat ing the aggregation from Raleigh 7-0. The local boys fought the!’’ way to victory on the football field but according to the sport editor of the Raleigh high school, it was a tic. The team and coach of Raleigh left Smithficld realiz ing that they had been in a foot hall game and that they had lost. Here is how it happened. In the third quarter an attempted punt by Parrish was blocked. Captain Bailey caught the ball and ran for a touchdown. Captain Bailey’s try for extra point was wide by several feet. Smithfield was fighting hard find just before the iO-rih quar ter ended, Raleigh held the ball ;ieep in her own territory, foirth down and thirty-five yards to go. Captain Bailey attempted 1 j punt. The punt was blocked by Nor ton and Fuller, Fuller falling upon the ball behind Raleigh’s goal line for touchdown. Parrish kicked the goal making the score There were no fist-fights as was reported by the sport editor for Lhe Raleigh team; neither did this voting gentleman referee, umpire, or officiate in any capacity, nor did he have the right to interpret the signals of the referee and umpire. The Raleigh team was compos ed of gentlemen. The coach was a gentleman. The local boys will journey to Goldsboro Thursday where they will attempt to defeat the strong Goldsboro team. Champ Clerk’s Cow. In a speech delivered in New York City many years ago. Champ Clark explained the ef fect of protection on the farmer in a very unique way. He sa:u that the depression of the farm ing industry was largely due to the fact that protection ml;i gated against the rural sections in the interest of the cities. He explained his position by giving a picture of a cow with her head in the farmer’s barn eating; the] products of the farmer’s toil !>ut giving her milk in the city and for the city. He advocated tinn ing the cow around, at least for a spell that she might do her eating in the city and permit the farmer to feast on the milk and 'butter an(i cream for a while. i nut protectionists j..-e too smart to turn that cow * a round. It* is much easier to fool and placate (the farmer with the -co'.v’s head in his barn eating h!s stuff, than it would he to grapple with the problems that would arise in the city as a result of changing the location of the trough. While Congress is in session, the cow is discussed with much feeling and noise, and many resolutions are induced to change her position. But when Congress adjourns and all the bills are signed, we al ,ways find the cow eating out of the same trough and giving Her milk to the same crowd.—South ern Agriculturist. Shoulcf Select > Cotton Seed Now R. Coker Urges Care ■ iii Ucieclion of ;>ccd For Ne:ii Year's Pl.nlir.g f»Al Ell,II, Oft. 7.—“It is n ;t time to plant cotton now hut it is time to prepare our seed for next year’s planting,” says U. II. Blalock, General Manager of the N’ertj. Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative As* a.atior., in an nr tide that will be publisu'» 1 in tie j October 10 issue of the “Cotto-* Grower.” “There is probably no better au thority on cotton seed for pla_ jng purposes than Mr. David R. cokr: of Hartsville, S. C. We quote from ' a letter just received from him as ofllows: "Seed from the damp entto*’ that is now being picked contains an excess amount of moisture and cannot be used for planting pur poses next spring unless th y at" very carefully handled. If the seed cotton heats before ginned, j01 course the seed are ruined; but i there is some excess moistur* in i the seed and heating: has not taken place, they can be saved :>y sack ing: in small bags nd settn.-.r r>n 'end one bag in a place. Tre bags should be shifted every day pi two until the seed are thoroughly dry. All seed intended for plant ing purposes should be c.ncfully examined immediately after gai ning and should not be sto*e-l r.i bulk unless they are perfectly dry and will rattle when shaken. Planting seed should be carefully examined before planting and if there is any doubt of their sound ness, germination, tests should be made. The losses from planting seed of low germination have been very great during the pa-1 year and this is a loss which is easily avoided by proper attention to the handling of the seed cot ton, the storage of the seed, and rc-c xamination before planting “Cotton growing in the Hasten belt lias gotten to be an ineiust-y which yields no profits to any except those who carry out every scientific precaution to insure success. Sound, well bred seed adapted to the section, proper methods of preparation, fertiliza tion and culture, narrow rows and thick stands in the row. proper handling of the seed cotton, gcul ginning and baling and, last bui not least, scientific marketing the product, are essetial to the most profitable production.” “We were the distributors last spiing of several thousand busi. of high priced pedigreed feed to our members and to other, cotton producers in this state,” said Mr. Blalock, “and we are urging them to give due consideration to tb. above warning and asking then to take the necessary precautions to insure the soundness of thmr next year’s supply of planting seed. There should he several thousand bushels of extra seen for distribution to other cotton growers, but a producer of seed for salt* lias no right to disp .- e of his seed for planting purpose-' unless he has taken the proper precautions to insure soundness and germination.” Surprise Birthday Dinner.
