added interest in the fact that
the author. Carl (ioi'ich. is one of
our favorite visitors and a close
personal lriond ol this paper's edi
tor. The hook itself is a classic, inas
much as it is so cleverly written.
Nearly every chapter is dedicated
to the churacterist ies of a friend
of Carl Coerch and a familiar
name to most North Carolina fami
lies. You learn little idiosyncra
sies of the ureal, the near-great
and just folks. And when you

to itself. You have all read "HUN

"FRENCHMAN'S C R E E K" so
words are unnecessary as to their
popularity.
The Cornish coast is the locale
of this fascinating novel and Men
abilly the house in which most
of the mystery lies. Its ivy coveied
walls hide the secret that two
people will carry to their graves.
Honor Harris, handicapped by a
serious injury when a fluid, was
never able to walk again but her
love for Sir Richard Grenvile. the
King's General in the West who
was resentful, proud, and bitter,
was her only solace.
It was on her eighteenth birth
day at the Duke of Buckingham's
ball that she first saw him.' Then
years later, she bade him a tear
ful and fond farewell as. surround
ed by the forces of the enemy,
he vanished through a secret Das
sage and out of her life. Thrill
after thriJl follow each other in
quick succession and keeps the
reader on the tip-toe of expectancy
and excitement. It is a Literary
Guild selection and a tremendous
ly good story.
This book hasn't been given so
much fanfiare as some of the oth
ers but it is steadily growing in
popularity and one reader means
the passing on of such praise that
three readers emerge where one
had been before. We are talking
about, of course

QUESTION: What is indicated
by the presence of broom sedge on
land?
ANSWER: Agronomists say that
this means the absence of some
desirable crop. In pastures, it
means that because of low soil
fertility or mismanagement, the
better grasses and legumes have
been eliminated. Such land should
be limed, fertilized with about 500
pounds of 0-14-7 fertilizer to the
acre, and reseeded.
QUESTION: When should small
grains he top-dressed.
ANSWER: Applications of nitro
gen top-dressing should be made
during March, -taking care to make
the distribution even. If the top
dressing is applied unevenly, dark
and light streaks will be observed
in the field a few days after it is
dressed. The equivalent of HO
pounds of nitrogen to the acre is
recommended for corn.
QUESTION: What is the best
means of 'preventing damage to
stored Irish potatoes by larvae of
the potato tuber moth?
ANSWER: Walter M. Kulash. as
sistant entomologist at State Col
lege, suggests that proper grow
ing practices, keeping the potatoes
well covered during the growing
season will forestall infestation in
the field. Vines on fields which
may be infested 'soil which cakes
and cracks) should be removed
and burned a few days before har
vest time. Potatoes should be put
in bags which can be tied, prevent
ing moths from laying eggs on the
tubers.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ITALY'S HISTORY women now allowed to vote are shown casting their ballots for local
officials, in the first free elections held In Italy in 26 years. Similar scenes were repeated in 436 communities,
these mostly being small towns and villages. Results of the local elections were expected to reveal the direc
tion of political trends in post-war Italy and were being carefully watched. (JnternatioJiat Rnciiopfioto)

QUESTION: What practices
should be followed in trying for
a corn yield of 100 bushels to Ihe
acre?
ANSWER: Attention Bob Brown
of Oak Ridge: Since 6-8-6 fertilizer
is not available so far this year,
get as much nitrogen in fertilizer
as possible: 4-8-8; space planting
at about 16 inches in a three and
a half foot row: top dress accord
ing to yield desired using 100
pounds of soda for each eight
bushels of corn desired or 100
pounds of ammonium nitrate for
each 16 bushels; shallow cultiva
tion so as not to disturb roots
and lay by when corn is hip high.

In spite of their reputation for
giving picturesque names to almost
anything which comes to their at
tention, North Carolinians still are
blandly ignoring the second high
est mountain in eastern America.
Until a few years ago, it was be
lieved and recorded that Cling
nian's Dome in the (ileal Smokies
was second in height to lordly ML
Mitchell. 6t;ti4 against 6.643 feet.
There was a dramatic reason
why the two heights were linked
as close competitors. Dr. b'lishn
Milchell and General Thomas L.
Clingman each contended the peaks
they explored were highest, and the
rivals ran levels across the stale
from an established altitude to
support their claims. Mitchell, lost
one night on his mountain, fell
down a cliff into a pool, where his
body was found by Big Tom Wil
son, and Clingman magnanimously
withdrew his claim. Later surveys
substantiated Mitchell.
But more scientific surveys show
that one of Mitchell's neighbors
the south fork of Black Brothers
is 6.663 feet high. Nobody had ever
paid any attention to this lofty,
lonely and obscure peak, and to
this day it is but rarely identified.
II is still given that vague name,
but few natives can point it out to
you.
Top New Englands
All of which might have some
thing to do wKh relativity. Only a
few decades ago. ML Washington,
giant of the New England moun
tains i(i.2!'.i! ft cl. was called the
highest peak in the east. The U. S.
Geological survey now shows there
are 1!! mountains in North Carolina
higher, and in such a mass that a
few feet difference in height is not
calculated to arouse much local
interest.
Few persons realize what an up-

thrust of earth there is in this
climax to the Appalachian system.
In North Carolina are 40 summits
above 6,000 feet high, and 73 which
are over a mile above sea level.
Once they were much higher, per
haps rivaling the Rockies or the
Alps. But they are old mountains
the oldest mountains in America
which have not been touched by
glacier erosion. The Appalachians
were above the timber line and al
ready declining before the Rockies
ever started pushing their way
heavenward, according to geolo
gists. The circumstance of their
formation and decay have created
many interesting conditions for the
botanist, the biologist and geolo
gist. Not the least mysterious is
the presence of numerous "balds"
which are peculiar to this state.

The Black Mountains are aptly
named. Black balsam and spruce
pine climb their sides, and when
color brightens the spring of other
hills and inflames the autumn, they
remain black and forbidding in
their evergreen cloak. Difficult of
access, they are for the most part
wrapped in clouds and solitude.

NOTICE
TO THE VOTERS IN HAYWOOD
COUNTY:
On March 28, 1946, I notified my
opponent, Hon. Glenn Palmer, that
I was planning to attack his record
as Representative in the General
Assembly and invited him to come
in and talk matters over with me.
Up to the time of this notice, Mr.
Palmer has not been in to see me,
and I now feel, as an opposing
candidate, that I have a right to
call the attentions of Haywood
County voters to his record.
At this time I am asking Mr.
Palmer to show the voters what
legislation he has enacted during
his four terms in the General As
sembly, if any, that has been in
the interest of the tax payers of
Haywood. I am informed and be
lieve that most of the laws he has
passed for Haywood County, if not
all of them, have resulted in in
creased salaries and other bene
fits for a small number of his sup
porters and added heavier tax bur
dens on our tax payers. I call
upon Mr. Palmer further to show
us why his local laws were intro
duced near the close of Legisla
tion, thereby preventing the voters
from making a fight against his
bills.
Mr. Palmer will be called upon
to defend other phases of his Legis
lative record in other notices which
will follow.
