C. Blair, extension agronom ist at State College. "This action causes the soil to crumble and set in to, a fine seed, bed for work the fol lowing spring. Another feature which should -not be overlooked is that the rough Jab sorbs and hold more* mc&we than unplowed land." According to Mr. Blair, the soil, when plowed in the spring, is very -likely to, break up into Jieayy. ^ods whaeh .will require flye or six- har ro wings to get Into sfcape -for the seedbed. This is especially true of the heavy clay soils. This extra work takes time and is-an added expense that could be e&mnated by plowing in the fall,, he says. Fail plowing not only benefit* -the 3ofl by creating a mulch that kids in planting and cultivatiou4)ut in many cases it destroys b&eets that prey upon field erope. This is especially true in the eastern part of the state where the insects Hoe over in the soil. The process of freezing <md thawing of freshly plowed bud will destroy many of these pests,as well as kiB the orgamsnm of many , plant Mrt Blair states that the plowing should be done in November if pos sible but should always be done be? fore Christmas, for Western Caro lina the plowing should be done in, November and December on all soils ; intended for cotton soybeans part of farm work that will pay as big a dividend for the labor involved as faU plowing, i^ eaye.

The body of Charley Jons*, negro employee of the A. C. Monk Tobacco Company,- was found on the side track near the Norfolk-Southern and East Carolina junction in Partnville, about nine o'clock Sunday morning by a passer-by. The body was completely severed at the waist line, the upper- portion, lying face up underneath a .car, and the limbs lying (m the" outside of the tracks. Jones/ who had lived in Farm jirille for a few months only, is said * have been a .native of Edgecombe county, his home bjing near Battle boro. He was about 26 years of age. Corpner Ed. g. Williams held an in quest at noon, at which time the. East Carolina train crew were questioned, but a decision was not reached as to which road 1b responsible, both lines having shifted freight trams over the track boftsefn ?:3Q and 930 Satur day night- The jury will be recalled and a verdict rendered the last of the week, according to the Coroner. It isjhe supposition here that the negro crossed the main track behind the part of the. train cut off from the engine and either fell or waa knocked down by cars attached to the locomo tive as he attempted to pass over the Riding. Although -Carl Powell was so badly injured in an automobile accident, hatjrTSanW Aftg^-6ifc/tiurt unable to walk, he crawled a distance of 2 miles on his hands and knees to a construction camp, in an effort to obtain aid for his wife and a dying friend, both of whoin were also injur ed.

J Washington, Nov. 24.?A contro- i versy rooted in ancient Spanish law i was settled by the Supreme Court-to- i day tfith a consequent loss to the i government of more than $1^9,000, 000. i '? The highest tribunal ruled that in come from community property in t Arizona, Louisiana, Texas and Wash- i ington may be reported for Federal 1 taxation by the. husband and wife separately. i It was a sweeping. defeat for the i government- which had contended i such income must'be reported in a 1 single return b^tEe huj&and^Jdfte, " It had pointed out that with the 1 tax rate increasing in proportion 1 to the extent of income its revenue 1 would be much greater under the ] single return. If it had won, government attor neys said the Treasury would be more than $100,000,000 richer through < the collection of back taxes, filed in < previous years by husband and wife i separately. 1 The court rules in . an opinion by < Justice Roberts, his first since- his i appointment to the binch, that in ; community propierty States whose 1 laws give the wife a vested interest in the income from this source, she i is entitled to make out her own in- i come, tax return. - - - .... n I ... : it makes no auterence, , nooerts i > said, that the "husband had manage- 1 ment of the property.
