' 1 ■ ■' IB HL W& ilila FACTS Important Nothing is harder than to get to look up the facts of hls -9 tory before they try to them. Lately we have heard much talk about the Supreme Court thwarting the will of the people by declaring Acts of Con gress unconstitutional, and many point to the famous Dred Scott as a glaring example. The fact is that chief Justice Taney, in the decision of 1857, up held Congress. The Missouri Com promise Act of 1820 had prohibit ed slavery anywhere north of Mis souri. But Congress, in 1854, passed the Kansas-Nebra&ia law, permitting those territories to vote on the question of slavery, Hand specifically repealing the Mis souri Compromise. So when the owner of a fugitive Negro slave, Dred Scott, brought him back from a free state and the ques tion name before the courts as to rhether he was still legally a slave, the Supreme Court held that the Missouri Compromise law which had set him free had been repealed, and added that it had been unconstitutional, any way, though that was not the major question before the court. In that celebrated case the Su preme Court upheld the latest Act of Congress on the subject. • • • CHRISTIANITY . . . united I can see no good reason why all Christians cannot unite in a single church Federation for the .defense and propagatoin of our I see many reasons why it is particularly necessary at this time. I was greatly pleased when I heard John D. Rockefeller, Jr., over the radio, call on all Chris tians to unite in a league or fed eration on the same basis that the states united to form the United States of America. The plan Indorsed by Mr. Rockefeller, who is a Baptist, was proposed by the Rev. Dr. E. Stanley Jones, a missionary to m- Look!

He would call it "The Church of Christ in America." "Only a united Christian world," said Mr. Rockefeller, "can stem the rising tide of material- Ism, of selfishness, of shaken tra ditions, of crumbling moral stan dards. If we who call ourselves Christians could catch the vision from the mountain toj? we would see that there all roads meet." • • • CHEESE a cava Roquefort cheese is one of those things, like parsnips, which one either likes very much or posi tively detests. lam very fond of Roquefort, with its threads of greenish mould, running through it. Roquefort cheese gets its name from a town in Prance, near which are some caves in which the temperature and moisture do not vary the year around. The fable is that a shepherd boy who went into one of the caves for THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA shelter left a piece of cheese from his lunch pail inside. Returning some months later he found it mouldy but ventured to eat it and liked the flavor, soon all the far mers and villagers began to take their cheese to the caves to ripen, and a great industry was born. Lately someone discovered that an abandoned coal mine in Penn sylvania has the same tempera ture and humidity as the Roque fort caves, and plans are afoot to use the old mine for ripening cheese. * « • OIL from North Every so often we hear that the oil reserves of the world are peter ing out, and people begin to ask what we will use for motor fuel when the oil is gone. But Just about as often we hear of new oil discoveries of vast extent, so per haps we are not in imminent dan ger. The latest oil reports comes from northern Alberta, in Canada, up toward the Arctic circle. Ge ologists have found there great deposits of oilbearing shale, cal culated to yield as much oil as all that is now being produced in the world. Canada's enormous mineral wealth has as yet hardly been tapped. A high proportion ol the world's gold, silver, cobalt and nickel, and the largest part of all the radium produced comes from Canada. ♦ * * HOLE ......... heat Twenty-five years ago Sir Charles Algernon Parsons, famous British engineer, proposed to sink a shaft several miles deep to tap the semi-molten rock stratum and pipe the heat of the earth's core to the surface, to supply power and heat for industry. The cost would have been tremendous, yet the project was declared feasible and probably would have beetn attempted but for the World War. Now an American engineer has demonstrated to an engineering convention a drill which will cut a five foot vertical shaft to any depth, as far as the heat will per mit. It goes through the hardest rock, and is the most economical method yet devised for boring a big hole in the ground. It would not surprise me if some practical application were made of Sir Charles Parson's idea. How handy it would be to heat your house with a pipe from a five-mile-deep hole in your back yard! .

The amount a grower will find profitable to use to some extent upon the price he can ex pect to get for his crops, Williams added. When prices are up, the grower can afford to apply more ferti lizer to get the highest yield con sistent with good farming prac tices, he continued. For the major crops grown in the state on average soils, and with a prospect of average prices, Williams recommends the following fertiliser applications: In piedmont and mmmtntn counties: Tobacco, 800 to 1,000 pounds of 3-10-6 (piedmont) or 3-12-6 (mountains) to the acre. Cotton, 400 to 600 pounds of 4-10- 4. Corn and small grains, 350 to 300 pounds of 4-10-4. Legumes, 200 to 300 pounds of 2-JO-4.
