Mr. McCall states thqfr his division
does not want to diacourage anyone
fiwn giowing vegetables on a com
mercial scale, but he does want the
grower to first familiarise himself
with the habits of the plant, the cul
tural methods required, the prepara
tiontion for market, and the market
-'—requirements of the crop before "at
tempting to grow it in a commercial
way. - ,
He should also have some knowledge
M to a .possible outlet before under
taking to grow too large an acreage
at first.' The division of horticulture
will do all within its power to as
sist any who attempt the growing of
vegetable* but the growers must hold
their acreages within those limits
which ean be advantageously hand
led.

We heartily agree with Mr. McCra

point of View, and are very sorry that
oar sister county did hot learn the
lesson when we did several years ago.
From thla, it appears that the county
commissioners are from ''Missouri in
stead of North Carolina. We cant
believe any North Carolinians could
live in an adjoining county and not
comprehend, when Martin county tried
the very same thing and learned the
deear lesson of experience.

• Jexi» sceu tut' planting this season |
i is . liuipiy emphasized by tests cun
j dueled by the U. S. laboratory. at
Texas A. and M college, recently at
the request of E. M. Percy, president
| of uit Lespedcsa Seed Growers C(.-
lop«4i'Utive association ol Baton Kougc,
Lu. Eleven samples of seed were sent
to the Texas station and the germi
nation test conducted showed a drop*
from 77.3 germinating power in 1921
to 15.8 at the present time.
The samples of seed tested Ui}l |
been kept under fuvoiltble storage
conditions since they were delivered {
to the association "during the 1921
marketing season and the germinat
ing power as shown by the tests made""
at that time ran from 19 per cent
for the lowest to 98 per cent for the
highest, the average being 77.8. The
samples tested this year were taken
at the satpe time as those used in
last year's test, but were put away
for a check on the keeping quality
of the seed.
The samples tested showed a range
in viability after being kept over one
year of from 8 to 81.5, the high test
ing seed of last year gunerally run
ning true to form with the highest
percentage of germinating power for
the second season. Based on these
tests, however, it appears thut It is
hardly Worth while planting old seed,
even when they can "be obtained at
low prices, as It would be necessary to
plant several bushels to the acre to
secure a stand, while one bushel of
new seed Is all that is \isually re
quired under favorable.conditions.

I MORE VIGILANCE

I
t ■
i"f Especially On Some of
j Koad Projects Near
, I VViiliamston
j' Much complaint is being made about
J the treatment the mules are receiv-
I inn on some of the porjects in road
I building on roads leading out from
I Williainston. From all reports the
* s . humane laws are being violated dally
* j in several places but especially .on the
0 | project from the.bridge to liethel
The mules show that they arc prop
'* erly fed and attended to ih that ie
u spect and that is very commendable
1 but when it comes to the/ way they
' are worked, that ifHery terrible. It
j is said to be u common occurrence
' to see the drivers .beating them with
j lashes and lines, plow chains and
|eu shovels. And eve nwofse than that
j is to- see the dumb heasts pulling
I Ijeavjgy loads with large sores on thei>
shoulders, sometimes pulling every bit
they ran wit.ll skinned places on their
shoulders as large as a man's hand
' with great pones swollen up around
the sores.
1 It is heart rending to watch u cruel I
■ driver goading a dumb animal in any,
such way. This kind of procedure I
becomes to be »o commonplace, among j
1 the workers that they become instjnsi
' ble to its torture and it goes on from
—-day to day unchecked. *"
s All good teamsters know tflat mules
' handled in this manner soon become
sullen and lifeless and they will not
do as g«od work as when they are
not beaten ami culled about.
We a«e not so much in need of
roads that we must kill mules to
build them. Officers, do not neglect
our dumb animals for they carinot
speak for themselves.

DENTAL WORK IS
TO BE DONE IN ALL l
COUNTY SCHOOLS '
Dr. Griffin to Examine j
the Children Who
Wish Sei*vice
' • ' -
Lr.,E. J. Griffin of the State Board
oi health will be in the public schools I
! 1 f Mai tin county for eight weeks for
tiie purpose of doing dental work for
all children under thirteen oi
age.
I inter the present health' laws of
the sta# each child entering school
is required to answer certain inquir- j
iees as to its physical conditions and
many defects are found ajnong them, 1
such as bad eye sight, deafness, and , j
bad teeth Some of these defect* can 1
be discerned by the parents and those 1
.who come in contact with th* children J
but the condition of the teeth can gel- i
dom be understood without an exam- 1
; ination by a dentist. A mother may j
i know that there is somethinf wrong ]
when the tooth decays so that it is J
"painful, but she can not tell what ~|
is wrong with it.
The State Hoard of health through 3
its examinations has found a great j
percentage of the children have teeth
that need filling and no way is so
cheap and convenient as having the
dentist go to all the schools and ex- '
amine the children 'and treat, those
who. need_ it regardless of whether
| they are rich or poor. For those who
j do not want the free treatment the
I state doM not enforce it.
It has been found that few people,
even grown peoeple never have their 1
teeth treated until they are forced to,
generally by tooth ache. Then they
find thpt the hettt service of den
tist could haveySeen rendered earli
er with a saving of much tiime, ex
pense and pain. Expensive gold teeth
would not be needed if we wojuld pre
serve the better and more beautiful
ones t that God gave us. I
The superintendent of pwlic in
struction hopes that Dr. Griffin will
receive the full support of evefer child,
parent, teacher and school oilcial in j
the county*
The legislature has been 1 rather J
slow in making appropriations for ]
this work, hut we hope the pfresMt j
assembly will make it possibll for
every county to get this servictj. It
is something that benefits every] per
son ami everyone should heartily en
dorse a measure of that kind. [ "
