Chain Gang Source of Bitter Denunciation Da'ton, Ga.—The chain gang!. Subject to bitter denunciation from outside sources, and spirited defense by Georgia authorities. What is it really like, seen through the eyes of one who merely gies to see? About thirty miles south of here Is the Whitefield county chain gang. It is fairly typical; some are better, some l worse. y Parked along the road among the scrub pine, stands a row of great wagons, square, like those in which a circus keeps its pacing animals. A lattice of steel bars forms the sides. Within each cage-on-wheels twelve men are confined. Six hunks are along each side, three deep, end to end. In these, after long hours of back-breaking work on the roads.

New Plan Suggested For Liming Crops The use of ground limestone as a filler material in fertilizer in liau of sand or other inert matter is be ing suggested by North Carolina farmers as a good way in which the limestone requirements of their, soils may be met at small expense and in an efficient manner. Tarheel farmers know of the val ue of limestone in growing all kinds of legumes, especially alfalfa, red clover, sweet clover and the other ' .«*»• . ...... THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA ; «11 J- 'i. i.% Ji p ■'tj 1 ■ i t This Fish Tale Is One For The Books; Page Lowell Thomas When bigger and better carp are in, the Yadkin River, Albert Burch, af Klltin, will catch them. Mr. Burch went fishing last Friday. It is not known what he Was fishing for, but anywa} after a few minutes he got a bite. And that's the fish tale begins. It is said that. when tlie fish was pulled to the surface, it was MO big,that Burch took one look —and .fainted. According to the law of some thing or other, when Burch fainted the fish should have made, its getaway and gone down in history as "the big one? that got away." -i But this didn't happen. For the fish, in its glee it see ing the fisherman falht dead away, was so delighted that it started splashing around and in doing so accidentally splashed the cool river water into the uncon scious man's face. And that spelled the fish's doom. Because Burch revived, grabbed the line and after a tus sle, pulled Mr. Fish out upon the bank. The carp was said to have weighed 23 ]>ouiids. It was 87 and one-lutlf inches long and 22 inches around the middle at the largest point. true clovers but recent demonstra tions indicate there are some soils on which the material will pay with other crops. Tests reported by the experiment stations of South Caro lina, Georgia, and Alabama show that limestone will pay with cotton. The Georgia Station at Griffin, for instance, mixed high calcium and dolmitic limestones with fertilizers used under cotton, and where no limestone was used secured 739 pounds of seed cotton an acre; where high-calcium limestone was used, the yield was 884 pounds, and where dolmitic limestone was used, the yield was 901 pounds an acre. This station says that increases from the use of limestone mixed with fer tilizers ranged from 153 pounds to 342 pounds of seed cotton an acre. The South Carolina station is. giving the method a thorough trial and reports excellent results last year though the season was un favorable. In North Carolina, a number of practical farmers tried the ntftv plan of getting limestone on \heir soils last year and say that good results were obtained During this period of low prices for farm products when the dollaf i spent for fertilizers must be made to do its utmost, the use of ground limestone as a filler is be ing demanded by an increasing num ber of Tarheel farmers. Past re sults indicate that the practice will continue to grow. Watch Plant Beds For Blue Mold Disease No trouble from blue mold or downy mildew has been reported in the tobacco plant beds of northern Florida and Georgia to date but this does not mean that the disease may. not appear in this State this year. "If the disease does appear in North Carolina this year there are certain things we know to do based on our studies of the trouble for the past two years," says E. Y. Floyd, extension tobacco specialist at State College. "We know, of course, that the plant bed should have the warm est and pest protected location on the farm. A good, loamy soil is needed and the bed should be pre- [ pared, in the usual way and well 1 fertilized to grow out the .most vig-1 orous plants. If the disease ap-1 pears, the canvass should be re moved on warm days and replaced at night if there is danger of frost. | A top-dressing of about three pounds j of nitrate of soda twice each week I and watering the bed every other I day early in the morning will help to fight the disease. If there is no | disease, it is unwise to use th# ni-! trate of soda as this forces quick, j spindly growth of plants." Mr. Floyd says his experiences last j year indicates that it is best to I leave the diseased plants in the bed | until the leaves affected have been I shed. If plants are to be lost, it isi best to lose them before going to the labor and expense of transplanting. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture so that the plants are kept thorough ly covered and all new growth pro tected has given good results if done properly. ThiSt means, Floyd says, that the plants are covered en tirely, even to the under-side of the leaves. Few growers have the ma chines to do this and were disap pointed at the results secured last year. Then, too, he says, most beds ni-e planted too thickly for thorough spraying. The Bordeaux is harmful In cold weather.
