PLACE DAVEY'S BOOK
IN LIVING TREE
Kent. O., March 17.—For the
first lime in history, a living
tree has been made to serve as a
monument to a man whose life
work is finished and as a “cor
nerstone" in which has been laid
away the record of his origina
tion of a science which made
him famous.
The tree is an American elm,
50 feet in height and IB inches
in diameter, which was taken
from a forest and replanted to
day at the entrance to Roosevelt
high school as a memorial to
John Davey, father of tree sur
gery.
A cavity nearly a foot deep
was cut in the trunk of the tree
and in the niche so formed was
placed a copy of his book, "The
Tree Doctor”—the book which
made known his conception of a
new science.
The cavity was then filled with
sectional concrete according to
the principles which Davey orig
inated. The wound will start to
heal immediately. Bark will creep
over it and in time all traces of
the “operation” will disappear.

! JACKSON DINNER
LARGELY ATTENDED
*
Enthusiasm of Young Democrats
Chiefly For Bailey; Simm;ons
Jeered At As His Message Is
Read
f
iviurt: man z.uuu ueinocriics as
sembled at the city auditorium
to say nothing of hundreds of
radio listeners, heard the pro
gram of the first annual Jackson
day dinner of the North Carolina
young peoples Democratic organ
ization in Raleigh Saturday night.
The Raleigh News and Ob
server reported the program in
part as follows:
All of the speakers, including
Jcuette Shousc, chairman of the
Democratic National Executive
Committee, weir applauded vig
orously, but the real ovation of
the evening was reserved for
Jcsiah William Bailey, opponent
of United States Senator P. M.
Simmons for the Democratic
nomination, whose speech con
cluded the program.
When former Congressman
Homer L. Lyon began the read
ing of the message of Senator
Simmons there were so many
jeers and boos that it was neces
sary for those on the platform
and in the audience to stop the
demonstration. There were some i
cheers at the end but the audi
ence showed its real feeling by
a wild and unrstrained ovation
for Mr. Bailey when he com
menced to speak.
Josephus Daniels, former secre
tary of the Navy, who discussed
Andrew Jackson and Woodrow
Wilson, declared that the Dem
ocratic party had been "side
tracking to rabbit paths" and de
cried the injection of opposition
to prohibition in the last cam
paign.
The introduction of Mr. Bailey
oy J. M. Glenn as "a 100 per cent
Democrat" was the signal for the
extended ovation given the speak
er.
Hearty ovations went to the
four gubernatorial candidates for
1932 who were introduced by dis
trict chairmen of the young
Democrats’ organization. When
Attorney General Dennis G.
Brummitt rose to speak, the oth
’r candidates rose among cheers
from the audience. To the Eliza
peth City attorney, J. c. B. Eh
ringhaus, went the loudest ac
,'laim, although General Albert
L. Cox of Raleigh, and Lieuten
uit Governor Richard T. Foun
tain were well received.
But the bulk of the audience
was distinctly pro-Bailey and
ound an early opportunity to
live expression to its feeling when :
r.vre C. Taylor, chairman of the j
organization began the program
with an announcement of the ■
speakers and the amount of time
illotted to each.
Mention of Mr. Bailey’s name
pi the list of speakers temporar
ly halted proceedings as the
cheering audience disregarded ad
monitions from organization lead
ers, most of those present rising
to their feet. The ovation was
repeated on a larger scale.
Neither Mr. Bailey nor Sena
tor Simmons said anything re
motely touching their respective
candidacies, but they came just
is close to the subject as did
my of the other speakers.
There were references to the
1928 campaign,'by way of com-j
pliments to the young people on
their work in that campaign, but!
no speaker mentioned the name
af Alfred E. Smith, the Demo-1
erotic candidate.
All of the speakers were mind- [
ful of the importance of youth,
the need of organization and all
paid tribute to Andrew Jackson
and Woodrow Wilson.

j YOUNG TAR HEEL
FARMERS’ BANQUET
Benson Organization Entertains
Dads; Dr. Carl C. Taylor De
livers Principal Speech; Others
On Program
The saying. “One can’t have
his cake and eat it too,” was
reversed by Dr. Carl C. Taylor
of State College, when he told
a group of young Tar Heel far
mers and their dads assembled
Thursday night around the
banquet table in the Benson high
school that the only way for far
mers to have their cake is to eat
it. He then pictured the farmer’s'
cake as a bale of cotton prepared
by hard work and sent to |
foreign markets, and more often ]
than not, even crumbs were not
the farmers’ share. Dr. Taylor
told his audience that farmers
who put into their “cake,” veg
etables, chickens, eggs, dairy
products as well as the white
frosting of cotton, were the ones
who could have their cake by
eating it. The live-at-home pro
gram, declared Dr. Taylor, is the
fundamental idea upon which the
agriculture of the future rests. In
speaking of production credit, he
said that the problem is not
how to get credit, but how to
do without so much production
credit, and to raise food and feed
crops is one way to solve this
problem.
Farmers in the south are cot
ton crazy, according to Dr. Tay
lor. The south has the soil, the
sunshine, the folks to raise al
most any crop, and yet the rural
slums of America are in the cot
ton belt. Dr. Taylor, however, is
not so much concerned with how
such conditions came to be, but
how to remedy the situation. He
thinks that when farmers get so
busy producing food and feed
crops and raising chickens, cows
and hogs, that they will not have
time to raise so much cotton and
tobacco, then the farmers’ condi
tion will be improved. Instead of
only cash crops that have been
variables, the new system of
farming will write a constant el
ement into agriculture.
The fathers and sons banquet
Thursday evening was attended
by about fifty, and was a suc
cess from every standpoint. Lacy
Gilbert, president of the Benson
chapter of Young Tar Heel Far
mers, was toastmaster. He call
ed upon Rev. J. Ruffin Johnson
to return thanks for the bounti
ful shad supper, after which he
gc • e an appropriate toast to the
fathers present. Following this,
each person was asked to rise
and give his name and vocation.
Valmore Parrish, a junior in
the Benson high school, who won
the cotton growing contest for
vocational agriculture students in
Eastern North Carolina last year,
was introduced and he told how
be made 2,000 pounds of lint on
three measured acres of land.
Roy Langdon, who won third
Prize in the Eastern North Car
olina corn contest, was also call
ed upon and he gave the details
of how he made 250 bushels of
corn on three acres.
Present on this occasion was
Wade Turner of Lillington, pres
ident of the National organiza
tion of Future Farmers of Amer
ica. He was asked to make a few
remarks which he di l in an easv.
well-poised manner, telling of his
trip to Kansas City, Mo., to at
tend the second annual Congress
of Future Farmers of America.
Mr. N. G. Woodlief, superin-j
tendent of the Benson city
schools, introduced Dr. Taylor,
n“u ucnvacu wic pxuiuiiJai a u
dress of the .evening. With Dr.
Taylor was Mr. Maltby. of WAh
ington, D. C., who is in charge
of the vocational work of all the
southern states. He made a brief
talk commending the work being
done In training young farmers.
Then Mr. J. Paul Shaw, agri
culture teacher in the Benson
school, gave a summary of the
projects undertaken by the Ben
son group of young Tar Heel far
mers. He asked for the coopera
tion of the parents in the worn
he is undertaking with the
boys.
The program was interspersed
with music rendered by Shelton
Barber and his string quartette,
and by a vocal quartette com
| Posed of Grimes Stephenson,
Boyd McGee, Irving Langdon and

the Young Tar Heel Club.

TO CONDUCT CORN
CONTEST IN COUNTY
Average Corn Yield in Johnston
For Past Two Years Has Been
20 Bushels To Acre.
J. Paul Shaw, agricultural
teacher in the Benson high
school, was among those who at
tended the meeting of the ag
ricultural teachers of the second
district held at the Hotel Golds-1
boro in Goldsboro last Wednes
day evening.
E. N. Meekins, of Raleigh, dis
trict supervisor, was the princi
pal speaker, and he announced ■
and discussed the “3 in 1” live-.
at-home corn contest which will
be held in this district this year.!
The idea for the contest is to get
farmers to produce on a five
acre basis three times the aver
age county yield per acre. It
was stated that the average yield
for the past two years in John
ston county was 20 bushels and
that of Wayne was 21 bushels.
In order to be a winner in the
"3 in 1” contest, or to produce
three times the county average.
Johnston farmers must harvest
60 bushels per acre and Wayne
farmers 63 bushels. Students of
high schools and adults attend-1
ing evening classes may enter1
this contest.
It was stated at the meeting
that the per cent of shortage of
corn requirements for county
population and livestock in John
ston county was 46.4. Farmers
are urged to enter this contest
and help grow more corn, which
is so essential for feeding more
hogs and poultry. Tmee prir.es
will be given adult winners and
three to the high school win
ners. Adult prizes for highest
production are a ioving cup. $20
in gold and $10 in gold. Student
prizes will be a gold medal, $10
in gold and $5 in gold. Twenty
five dollars will be given the
Young Tar Heel Farmers chap
ter with the largest total number
of students and adults carrying
out their contest projects.
The rules for the contest are
as follows:
1. All contestants must be
members of the all day and eve
ning classes.
2. The size of the adult pro
jects will be five acres and all
day projects three acres.
3. Each project must be undi
vided in one field but may join
other acres planted in corn not
in the contest.
4. The teacher of agriculture
and contestant will determine
the variety of seed, kind and
amount of fertilizer and method
of cultivation.
5. In order to gain recognition
and be declared a winner in the
contest each evening class and
all day class contestant must
produce three times the number
of bushels per acre as shown by
the county average for the years
1928 and 1929.
6. The standards for determin
ing yields will be as follows: 80
pounds per bushel for jerked
corn. 74 fftr slip shuck corn, 72
for husked corn, and 56 for
shelled com. < All corn in this
contest must be either weighed
or measured accurately).
7. A preliminary report will be
turned in on or before June 1
giving the names of both the
student and adult contestants.
8. All contestants must keep a
complete record of costs of pro
duction In order to determine the
cost per bushel. Labor will be
charged at 15c per hour fo:
student labor, 20c for adult la
bor and 10c for horse labor
i Records will be kept according te
the usual project method).
9. All final reports must be h
by December 15.
10. A central banquet will b
held next winter for the contes
winners.
FINDS THAT HOGS
PAY CASH PROFIT
John Avera Allen Receives Check
For $318.58 For Fourteen Dem
onstration Fed Hogs
Mr. John Avera Allen of Four
Oaks, route 2, has just completed
a hog feeding demonstration,
which proved to be a very prof
itable one. On January 1 Mr.
Allen started feeding fourteen
head of hogs which weighed a
total of thirteen hundred and
sixty-eight pounds. On March
4 these 14 hogs were sold in Rich
teen hogs were sold in Rich
mond. and weighed a total of
three thousand and ninety
pounds, or a total gain of one
thousand, seven hundred and
twenty-two pounds. This was an
average daily gain of 1.95 pounds
per hog.
Mr. Allen used a total of
$112.00 worth of feed in putting
on the 1722 pounds gained. This
made the gains cost $6.50 per
one hundred pounds. Mr. Allen
received $10.31 per one hundred
pounds net for these hogs, leav
ing a profit above feed cost and
all other expenses of $3.81 tier
one hundred pounds. The net
price received for the corn used
after deducting other feeds and
expenses, was $1.65 per bushel.
Mr. Allen received a check for
$318.58 for the fourteen hogs
sold, which he says will go a
long way towards paying the fer
tilizer bill for liis farm this
spring.
This feeding demonstration is
one of the many being carried on
under the direction of the county
agent, J. B. Slack.
PASTURE IS BASIS OF
LIVESTOCK FARMING
RALEIGH. March 17.—Perma
nent pasture is the foundation
for profitable and successful live
stock production.
“Probably the greatest source
of revenue in many of the more
favored counties of western North
Carolina is the large area of sod
which annually produces an
abundant yield of valuable graz
ing.” says Sam J. Kirby, pasture
specialist at State College. “It is
necessary that the value and
possibilities of pasture be more
fully appreciated that the crop
will receive more care and thus
be able to pay the highest prof
its."
furnishes an abundance of feed
at low cost; prevents soil eros
ion or washing; builds the fer
tility of the soil and beautifies
the landscape. On eighty-eight
farms where records were kept
last year, pastures ranging in
age from one to four years, pro
duced from $16.50 to $38.50 worth
of grazing an acre or an average
of $28.82 an acre when measured
in feed replacement values. When
pastures are properly managed
and grazed, they will pay a good
annual return.
; It is nearly always necessary
to seed the pasture. Waiting for
,a good sod to come voluntarily Is
a long and almost hopeless task
In many instances the best
guvooca aiiu tuivcio UU 11UU dp
pear in the sod under these con
ditions. It is the best to seed, says
Mr. Kirby, and to seed liberally
[Limestone and fertilizer help to
I establish the sod. Weeds may be
! controlled by obtaining a good
| stand of the nutritious grasses
and clovers.
In Mr. Kirby’s opinion the
planting of good pastures, espec
ially in the upper piedmont and
mountain sections will hajp to
. build up an industry which will
i yield a farm revenue far In ex
cess of anything being done at
i the present time.

by Lenoir county farmers.
FARMERS CLASSES
VERY SUCCESSFUL
Agricultural Teacher In Benson
School Reports 954 Farmers At
tending Two Evening Schools,
or Average of 106 Each Week
_
BENSON, March 13.—The eve
ning classes for adult fanners
that have been held in Benson
and Meadow high schools during
the past two months under the
direction of J. Paul Shaw, agri
cultural teacher in the Benson
high school have just ended. Mr.
Shaw reports the greatest inter
est he has ever experienced in
conducting meetings of this
kind. Five hundred four farmers
attended the Benson meetings and
450 at the Meadow school making
a total of 954 farmers in all or
an average of 106 farmers at
each weekly meeting.
Cotton production was the
main subject for the series at
Benson. Something like 600 acres
of better staple cotton will be
planted as a result of these meet
ings, better fertilizing, boll weevil
control methods and better culti
vation and also better methods of
storing and marketing cotton will
be put into practice as a result
of the Benson meeting.
Corn, hogs and fertilizer was
the chief topic for discussion at
Meadow school. Under the direc
tion of Mr. Shaw 1500 pounds of
pasture seeds were ordered and
planted. A cooperative order was
made at the last meeting. The
farmers saved about 30 per
cent on all seed bought to
gether.
Mr. Shaw will start shipping
hogs from both communities
next week. He reports that 25
farmers have 382 hogs on feed
under his direction that will
bring the farmers about $8,000
in the next few days. Each far
mer is keeping accurate record
of all costs. He has sixty five
farmers keeping farm records as
a result of his evening class ac
tivities as well as other ap
proved farm practices.
HARDWARE FIRM SELLS
ALADDIN LAMPS
Jordan-Edmundson Hardware
company, local hardware dealer,
is making announcement else
where in this paper which is of
particular interest to every home
owner who is without electricity
for lighting. They have just se
cured the local franchise for the
famous new "Instant Light” Alad
din kerosene mantle lamp, which
gives a beautiful modern white
light equal to ten ordinary oil
lamps. It is over four times as
economical as the best open
flame light, the reason being that
it burns only 6 per cent kerosene
to 94 per cent air. It will save
its cost in a few months’ time.
These new Aladdins may be
secured in either bronze or nick
el finish and are available in
either table, hanging, bracket or
floor lamp styles. The Aladdin
Floor lamp is something new and
distinctively different—never be
fore available in an oil lamp.
Every home not equipped with
electricity should have at least
one Aladdin lamp. It would be
advisable to visit this store at an
early date as possible while the
line is complete so that you may
secure a wider choice. Read the
important announcement else
where in the paper for further
details.
