CORN YIELD REDUCED -BY PULLING FODDER days 'are nere,' in saddest ' of -the rear -J for the corn crop ? Some,, experiment , . statiops have found .that the loss xrom pull ing fodder amounts to tronv 7 to. bushels of- corn- per.acre or from IS to 20 percent of the acre yield.' ; "The facts "about pulling fodder are these,", says Prof. G. B. WiHUms, head of the department of agronomy at State Celleg. - An acre of corn that will produce about 20 bushels of sheUed srrain wUl yield about 240 pounds of .cured fodder. One man on the average can strip 400 pounds of fodder per day. Two and one- half ". acres are required - to yield stack of fodder and one stack of av erage ' sue will contain about 300 bundles.,. A- bundle usually weighs about two pounds. L : One man can tie, carry to stack and build , a stack la about haiz a day. in addition to tune lost in this labor, he has re duced the grain yield of his corn and bad-, much better, been harvesting 'a hay . crop grown for furnishing tbe needed " roughage." - ,J .

Mr. Williams states that some ex periments stations report, no .loss of grain when the tope are cut but when tops are cut and the leaves stripped irom the remainder ox the stalk, there Is a loss of arainl' The averaare of the testa conducted in many, sou thern states show that a loss of at least two bushels of grain per aere, is had when leaves alone are stripped from tho plant . ' r .. Aside from- the decrease- in yield of grain, pulling fodder is a costly method .: of securing roughage- for livestock. Tha food value of corn fodder is not as high as that of good legume hay .'and more abundant yields of the bay may be secured when proper steps are taken to pro- viQe:i..-.;;-r...,;-v;,::vv-:-;k MEXICAN MASONS Api Jt J PROVE STAND COOUDGE - Washington, D.

MALLEY RICE, fl,.'f-:' ' -Clerk.': ' cDOGGETGAP" By BASCOM LAMAR LUNS- r "vFORD hi Asheville Times ,-'V' . ' ' Between the counties of Bun combe, Haywood and Madidon there is a large mountain range, that is large from the standpoint of actual size, known as the Newfound Moun tains, and above the head of little Sandy Mush in Madison Ctofrnty and near the famous Bear Wallow there is a noted gap' which has been a moun tain pass for over a hundred years for people travelling .out ol East Tennessee into Western North Carolina. '" Mtiiy years ago a man by thietname of Dogget lived in a large old time log house near a spring in this mountain pass. Not unlike other places of the same Mature travellers both way and camp with Mr. Dog- get and share the hospitality of this famous mountaineer fami ly. Of daughters he had three: Docia, a slender black headsd girl, the youngest and a splen did musician, by playing on her tack head banjo she furnished many an interesting evening to wayfarers spending the night in the gap. In fact al though her two older sisters were beautiful mountain girls, their being able to sing the love ballads in accord with stringed accompaniment caused them to realize that "collective" enter taining seemed to get results. Since Docia's playing had be come so attractive, it was the means of their being able to entertain quite frequently, and that often waggoners would strive -jtoy "make" Dogget Gap upon every occasion possible. "Singng Song Abonf ' In this .way Nels Plemmons,' a wagoneef, and himself a ban jo picker, from Rainey's Run, a place In South Carolina", be came interested in the beauties of the mountains and eventual ly took up his abode not more than a day's journey from the gap,; Upon one occasion when Plemmons passed thai way he spent an interesting evening in "singing song about" with Miss Dbcia and her two sisters and as usual among young people the fact that he became inter ested in Miss Docia rather pV sociatect itself with ' a quaint mountain tune, most generally known as "Cumberland Gap.M.

On the wreck ed car were Mr. Hf me Clark, driving, and Mr. and Mrs. John nie Davis, Mack Tipton, Mrs. Clemet Henderson, and Jim Deaver. The Ford coupe which is said , . to have caused the wreck was driven by Mr. Her man Guthrie of Detroit, Mich, and in- the car with him were Mrs. WUH. McHone and two children and Mrs.. Pete Haynie. As Jprey" "were approaching a sharp curve one report has it that Mr. Guthrie attempted to pass $be touring carj cutting back into the road before it had dicated above and in this case thvWufcar combinatiott. of notes so. quaini ami khwuj , received the name of "Dogget Gap." Already having stated that the wayfarer, Mr. Plem mons a permanent resident of the ; country side, the reader will understand that the fol lowing song virtually completes the entire story of how Docia and Nels carried on a most in teresting and typical court ship: "Dogget Gap" Chestnut tree full a' chestnut sap, Snow knee deep in the Dogget - Gap. .

Others say the cars did not lock wheels. At any rate the touring car fell off the road some 25 feet below and was completely demolished, turning completely over and righting itself again. Mack Tipton suffered a broken (right) leg, just below his hip He was also bruised about the face, arms, and hands. After receiving first aid by Marshall physicians he was taken to an Asheville hospital, accompan ied by Miss Salena Proffitt, Mr. Frank Searcy Ollie Ram sey, the party be ing taken over by Wilburn Payne on his truck. Jim Deaver was cut and bruised a bout the face, legs, and right arm. Mr. and Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Henderson suffered cuts and bruises. Hume Clark was badly cut and bruised.
