Davis, Democratic Presi dential nominee, gave attention to the broader aspects of the campaign which he will formally open next Monday night at Clarksburg, W.

Allen, aged 01, the oldest Mod ern Woodman, antedating in member v ship even J. C. Root, founder of the Society, recently passed away at Clin ton, la.

Mr. Root personally obligated him as a member of the Modern Wood men of America in 1882, several months before the organization was formally launched, this being done to insure secrecy in the printing of he first ritual.

COVER CROPS PAY IN TARHEEL ORCHARDS Raleigh, July 30.—“Summers are long in North Carolina and the hoi weather burns large amounts of nitro gen and humus from ihc ground be tween the trees in our orchards. A good cover crop planted in midsum mer will not only lessen the amount burned out by shading the ground but will also add humus and nitrogen to the soil Of course nitrogen will be j added only when legume crops arc planted," says W. A. P.adspinncr, as- i sisfcmt horticulturist for the State College Experiment Station. Cover crops will prevent washing j from rains of the fall and spring' and since this is done both by the to; which check the flow of water and th root system which permits the water to sink in, it i sudvisable to plant the crop soon enough for it to have made some root development before cold weather. Mr. Radspinncr states tha , in many parts of North Carolina, par ticularily in the Sandhills, cow pea. are sowed in June, turned under it the fall and followed by rye and' vetch which are turned under the fei-j lowing spring. Clean cutlivation i then practiced to advantage until: Juno again, 1ms system is expv.n;.i\o , but returns a maximum amount of! humus and nitrogen to the soil, thinks Mr. Radspinner. “'rhe cover crop should he sown i _otcT 01 p.imp.xo aqi ur tfSnouo Xpiuo j vide a good mat of growth over! • , „ ! winter.

WAS WELL ATTENDED Raleigh, July 31.“ConiTfi-ry to ex pectations, the annual convention of farmers and farm women held at -State College last week was attended by a thousand or more people during each of thethres days. At the close of the first day about 500 men and ! women had registered for rooms and | many other hundreds had driven in j 'for the day. A new feature of the) convention this year was the string! j band brought in from Alamance Coun ty by President R. W. Scott. This band added much to the social side of | the meeting and vied with the most popular speakers as an attraction. Its | old fashioned tunes and its songs of long ago stirred the audience to an extant surpassed only by Senator E. D. Smith’s wonderful challenge to farmers to organize for their own protection. The Convention held a joint session for men and women on the morning >f the opening day, July 2d, and oi the nights of July 23 and 24. All other meetings were in groups. The men met together on Thursday morn ing1 for a discussion ■ of farm credits but at other times, the groups were gathered together to study farm crops and livestock. The annual meet ing of the State Seed Improvement Association was held on the afternoon of the 24. The farm women held their meetings separately and heard re i ' ports on women’s work as done in the different counties of the State. i The Convention this year was characterized by more discussion from the floor by farmers themselves. In the past, those in the audience have been content to let the speakers do the talking; but, this year, those who wished definite information about a particular subject had not hestiancy in asking questions and in giving ex periences. It seemed that the farmers have really come to look upon State College as their own institution and the Convention as their public forum.
