Brings Us Peaches
But They Are Green
M C. Latham Gives Interesting
Points i n Care of Orchards.
Curly Leaf ts a Pest.
The Star office was lifted up end
,et Town, suddenly the other day. ?»1 !
y. Latham of Patterson Springs came]
in with a bag. represented it to con
tain a peek ot Mayflowers, the carii
..-t peach for Jrs section. Imagir.e
how "iir ears*perked up and our month
watered in anticipation of fresh
poaches, the first of the season. When
the hag was opened, the peaches were
pi green and small, but sound. 1 his j
was the basis, however, for an ioC r- j
'dew wi.h Mr. Latham on orchard j
culture. which should be interest ng |
to other farmers.
Hr. Latham has .35 healthy trees,
full of fruit. The crop looks promw
njr e\er the county, hut the bag he
btought was picked off green in or
,,rr to thin out the fruit. He thins
n it Ids fruit l'ke a cotton farmer
does his cotton plants and finds that
by the thinning process the fruit left
oil the trees to mature, produces as
much in quantity and a better tjuai
,v than if let alone. Fruit trees should j
be sprayed three times at least, once j
before bloom, next when the bloom is
in the husk stage then four or five
weeks before the fruit ripens. He
uses arsenate of lead, lime and sul
phur. In his orchard the Mayflower is
the earliest, then the He He of Georgia
and last the Klberta. The curly, loaf
s a sort of disease which is preva
over the county, not only in ’.is
irehard that has been sprayed, but
in ail orchards. Spraying will not
stop the curly leaf. Mr. Latlmm
say's more attention should he given
I,,, the farmers to orchards and when
Mr. A Hardin,” the county agent is
•ceded, farmers should feel free ti
call him for he is an expert on fruit
growing, having had charge of a
huge orchard before coming to CleV
eiant..

Winston-Salem Leads
In State Population
Estimate Puts Charlotte Second. New
York Continues to Lead Nation.
Some Changes.
Winston-Salem stepped far out ru_
front of Charlotte as the largest city
in the state with a population of
800, according to estimates of popula
tion for July 1, 1026, just made pub
lic by the Bureau of Census, -ays
Jonathan Daniels In a dispatch from
Washington to the News and Ob
server.
The tobacco metropolis increased its |
lead over Charlotte from 2,06? in the !
census of 1920 to 17,200 under the
new estimates.
The population of the state as of
July 1, 1020. is estimated by the bu
< lau as 2,857.81(! as compared with 2.
559,123 in the 1020 census and 2 811,
000 in the 1025 estimate.
Population estimates of the seven
leading cities in the state as-of July
i, 11*20. are as follows: Asheville, 82
000; Charlotte, 54,000; Durham, 4;j,'0(-0
Greensboro 48.700; Raleigh, 31,000,
Wilmington, 37,700 and Winston-Sa
lem 71,800. The figures for five of
these cities are based on the 1020
eet'. us, while the tigures for Greens
boro and Durham are based on s[ e
eial enumerations made in 1025.
Winston-Salem, the state’s largest
si tv, is the 111th city in size in 1 he
T'nited States. In 1000, Winston-Salem
wa sthe sixth city in size in the state
with a population of only 10,008. In
1910, .it was still the sixth city in size
with a population of 17,107. In 1020
it jumped to the front with a prpu
lation ef 48,305.
An interesting fact about this city
which is onl> the 111th city in 'he
1 nited States is that it pays 4.2 pc
edit of all the internal revenue the
federal government received from all
sources,during the fiscal year 1025,
according to figures published.
In the light of the new estimates,
the old standing of the cities of the
state in population is interesting. Ini
1000. these seven cities ranked as fol
ic ws: Wilmington, Charlotte. Ashe
ville, Raleigh, Greensboro Winston
Salem and Durham. In 1010, they
l&nked as follows: Charlotte. Wilvni.’g
,ort, Raleigh, Asheville, Dutham, Win
ston-Salem and Greensboro. The
standing today is: Winston-Salem.
Charlotte, Greensboro, Durham, Wil ■ j
mington, Asheville and Raleigh.
Big Four Unchanged.
The big four, the country's only
cities having a million or more p-p
ulaiton, Show no change in rank. New
York leads with 5.924,000 again-i 5,
020,048 in 1920. New York city’s t r
oughs arc estimated as follows.
Bronx 800.000; Brooklyn 2,240.000;
Manhattan 1.877,000; Queens 761,000;
and Richmond 143,000.
Chicago passed the three million
r'-" fVw' r:.—t time with 3.048,000
against 2,701,705 in 1920. Philadel
iuia. crossing the two million mark
retained third idae<» with 2.008 000
against 1,823,779. Detroit continued
fourth with 1,290,000 against 993,678.

ED DIXON DDKS SUPPORT FOR SHERIFF ON
VOTE FOR HIM —
ED VV. DIXON
Born on a farm in Cleveland County, North Carolina, son ofj
the late Henry Dixon, engaged in farming all of his life, with the
exception of the time he has been called up..t. to servo his town
ship and county in the official capacity as Deputy Sheriff and 1
Court Officer, E. \V. Dixon appeals to the voters for their sup-1
port and influence in connection with his candidacy for the Dem-'
ocratic nomination for Sheriff of Cleveland County.
Reared Father’s Familv.
After the death of his father and mother, E. W. Dixon took
charge of the family of five children and reared them up in his
farm home, one of the children still living with him at the present
time. Mr. Dixon is married, has four children, has been a I
Steward in Kadesh Church near Behvood for several years, has
also been Secretary and Treasurer of the Sunday School for a per
iod of 18 years, is a member of the Masonic Order, and is As
sistant District Deputy in the Junior Order, comprising five coun
ties, and is also a member of fhe Board of Agriculture of Cleve
land County.
: H :: Ji : .
Has Fine Experience.
For the past ten years, E. W Dixon has efficiently discharg
ed his duties as Deputy Sheriff, going wherever necessary in the
performance of his varied tasks, always striving to get his man,
without fear or favor. Hxcept for that period of time, Mr. Dixon
has spent his time behind the plow, ready and willing to help his
neighbors, assisting in all community enterprises and always on
the alert to promote the best interest of his fellow man.
Busy On His Farm.
About two months ago, E. W Dixon resigned his position as
Deputy Sheriff in order to become a candidate for Sheriff of
Cleveland County. Owing to the * usy farming season, Mr. Dixon
will not he in position to fysit each voter personally, but will rely
upon his past record as an oflicer of the law and citizen of the
County. But his friends may feel well assured that every word
spoken i?4 his behalf, and every vote cast for him, will lie greatly
appreciated.
