Illegal Aliens
In the Country
Recently it was announced that
the Senate Appropriations sub
committee had been told several
weeks ago that there are probably
several million aliens who are in
the United States illegally. The
figure, two to five million aliens,
was vouched for by Director J
Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bu
reau of Investigation. At the same
time Watson B. Miller, commis
sioner of immigration and natur
alization. stated that over forty
million aliens cross and re-cross
the U. S. borders each vear.
"The exact total for 1949 was 40,
077,000." Commissioner Miller
said He admitted that no one 1
can be sure how many of these
aliens are still in this country il- 1
legally after crossing the border. I
So l'ai this year, officials have ap j'
prehended 200,000 of them. As- r
sistants of the commissioner told
the Senate sub-committee that at j
least two years would he neces-r
sarv to clean up the load of illegal
aliens within our borders, even if
n
H00 additional men were placed on
patrol on the borders ol Mexico
and Canada. The Canadian bord
er is 4,000 miles long and is guard- Sl
ed by a patrol force of only 230 ■
men. Commissionei Miller asked s
for new legislation which would „
give immigration officials the1
authority to apprehend and de* a
port the thousands of aliens who II
enter illegally Present laws he
said aie completely inadequate.
Increase In Food
Production Noted
A 20 per cent per acre increase
m the world's food crops is seen
as a possibility as the result of
research now going on at the
California Institute of Tech
nology
The tests, being conducted at
Pasadena, have been made in
greenhouses and laboratories
where all natural weather and
light conditions are exactly re
produced It has been discovered
that some plants grow almost as
last at night, under satisfactory
temperatures, as during the day.
City smog was found to unfavor
ably affect vegetable growth and
sizes ol crops In Hawaii night
lighting of sugar cane fields has
increased yields and under ideal
conditions sugar heel crops might
be doubled or trebled the re

Lime For Pasture:
Should Be On Sooi
Farmers who have not already
applied lime on land to he seedec
to pasture this fall, should star
applying in now. according to W
W. Woodhouse, Jr., soil fertility
scientist .with the North Carohn;
Experiment Station.
This is an important step foi
those farmers who plan to tak.
part in tin "Green Pastures" cam
paign.
Most North Carolina soil;
should be limed to grow I.adino
.lover, says Woodhouse. While
Ihe work on the lime needs of
Ladino has not been under way
very long in this State, it appears
hat the plant is not too hard
o •satisfy. It is less exacting
han alfalfa in this respect, says
he scientist.
On a soil which was very acid
ays Woodhouse, one ton of
round limestone produced good
esults "during two years of test
ig. Above that rate, the returns
er ton of limestone were barely
otieeable.
Liming for Ladino clover is
eccssary and profitable, but |
tore is no reason to believe that |
high rate of lime or frequent
pplieations are required. Ladino
icded in 19411 responded well to
one-ton application of lime
one made in 1938. The best
aide is a soil test.
'onsumplion Of
Colton Increases
Domestic mill consumption of
itton this season has been higher
lan in 1948-49 and is expected
total about 8.5 million bales, as
impared to 7.8 million last year.
Exports of raw cotton are also
inning higher, and prospects are
at they will reach 5 1-4 million
lies as contrasted with 4 3-41
illion last year.
Rising cotton prices have rc
ilted in a considerable amount 1

Increase Reported
In Livestock Price;
A stronger demand for meat
pushed livestock prices up in
May and early June. Hog prices (

bove the low reached last De- s
•ember Prices of better grades of 1
.'attle are also up sharply and are
nustly $0.00 to $4.00 higher than ^
it this time last year.
Meat production in the I li st s
uilf ot 1950 was about 2 per cent
ligher than in 1949. Most of the
ncrease was in pork, while beef
production was lower. Since more
•attle are now on feed than last
• ear and some 0 per cent more ! |,
lows were farrowed this spring, I
neat production in the next six j ^

Buried $40,000 In
Coin in Basemen!
—•—
A millionaire in Wisconsin, ac
i cording to the newspapers, buried
$40,000 in coin in the basement of
his farm home. The cache was dis
covered at his death when he
left instructions to his wife to
dig up the money.
The man concluded, back in
1000, that war was coming and
that pa pei money would be
worthless. He buried rolls of
nickels, dimes and quarters in
the ground. Two trucks hauled
the cash to a bank where the
money was counted,and cleaned.
The effort to safe guard the
(Sleet of deteriorating paper
money was useless, in this coun
try, since gold has been with
drawn from circulation, there is
nothing around except fiat mon
ey. Nickel and silver coins are
not intrinsically worth their
monetary value and depend upon
government backing for their ac
ceptance. The* same backing bol
sters our paper currency.
