(International Newsreel) Official Population Of County Shows A Large Gain In Decade Does Not Include The 1 Provinces Gain Of 16,967,570 Inhabitants Greatest For Any Decade In History. Washington.—'The nation's popu lation was officially announced by the census bureau as 123.698,190, representing the largest numerical growth since 1920 of any decade in its history. Census officials said completion of this population count represented only the first step of the 15th cen sus and that already they had begun to build upon this basic figure other totals ranging from an enumeration of existing radio sets to a count of the country's Industries and farms. The figures anounced for file 48 states and District of Columbia showed a gain in population of 16, 967,570 persons, or 18,1 per cent since 1920. Adding in the nation’s possessions, exclusive of the Philippines, to which the census law docs not ap ply, the grand total was set by the census bureau at 124,848,664 Some indication of the volume of additional figures still to be issued by the bureau was given in a pre diction by a census official that when statistics are comp’ctcd on schools. Immigration, old age, the numbers and spread of industries In each state, together with the num bers of mines, farms and farmers In each section, the total will fill more than 15 close set volumes. This Information" will be Issued for each state as It is complet’d by cen sus workers. Officials Indicated it would be available much earlier than in 1920, since the population count was completed twice as fast as a decade ago The population issued was 31,282 under the figure previously compil ed from supervisors reports It Is subject to revision by iiv bureau, jbut no major changes arc expected Titled Aviatrix Sails for Europe ItSi —L—aa „ i . ..

Ramsay MacDonald, Prime Min ister of England: "The power of finance will have to be1 regulated and controlled,” Dorton Trying To Introduce Kudzu In Cleveland County ‘■Kudzu is the greatest legume gift to man,” says Dr. J. S. Dorton. secretary of the Cleveland county fair who has a demonstration of kudzu and lespedeza for the farm ers to fee this fall when they visit the big fair. Dr. Dorton is enthus iastic about these two legume'crops and is trying to get them introduc ed in Cleveland county. You can't talk five minutes with Dr. Dorton without having his mind go to kud zu and lespedeza and he feels that tf a farmer wants a cheap food for livestock that will grow under any weather conditions and on land so poor you can't raise a quarrel on it. you should try kudzu. Briefly the kudzu vine Is a bean, and the greatest legume plant thPt God has given to man. and like re ligion man refuses to accept it at its face value. The kudzu vine came from Japan more 'than 50 years ago, as an ornamental porch vine to produce shade, and man has not yet discovered that in addition to its powers to make shade, that it is also one of the greatest if not *the greatest acid land legume plant we know anything about. Kudzu has many qualities not possessed by any other legume.*' <1> It is a great hay and pasture plant; (2) a good set of kudzu will produce from two to eight or ten tons Qt legume hay per acre: (3) It defies dry weather: (4) When once plant ed, It stays planted: (3) It does not winter kill except the leaf and stem; (6) When soil is deep to wa ter, its roots go deep down; (7) It can be turned under and a crop of corn or cotton grown on the land and it will come back if desired; (9) It is a soil builder when so used; (10) It is ravenously eaten by all live stock, it does not bloat cattle; til) When cut for hay it cures out in half the time it takes other le gumes: 02) It cures a dark green color which makes; it attractive and desirable; (13) it is easily grown when undersood; 04) It is easily eradicated when desirable, but no sane farmer will desire to get rid ot it when he learns how to use it; 05) Our problem is to learn how to grow it. and how to use it when grown: 06) Farmers should not be afraid to get it on their farms, be cause it is the easiest of all plants i to get rid of when desirable.

Rutherfordton Club Plans Farm Picnic Kiwanians Will Entertain Farmers And Families At Annual Fete Thursday. | Rutherfordton. Aug. 10.—The an nual Farmers-Kiwanis picnic will be held at the farm of W. T. Bennett, near Gilkey, Thursday evening, August 14, from 5 to 8 o'clock. It has been the custom for several years for a number of farmers to entertain the Kiwanians and their wives at a picnic super somewhere in the couhty. The super has been heW at the fair grounds several times but it has been decided to hold it at Mr. Bennett's farm this year. Every farmer in the county, who is urged to attend, bring his family and a well filled dinner bas | ket and enjoy the evening. It will be a general farm picnic. Tlie local Kiwanis club entertains a number of farmers each year, usually in the winter time, who take part in the crop and livestock con test sponsored by the club. Mr. Bennett is one of the coun ty’s best farmers. He has always taken part in the Kiwanis club con tests and usually wins one or more prizes. He grew a total of 462 bush els of wheat this season on 28 acres of land. He experimented on two acres with nitrate of soda and got the following results: he produced 59 bushels of wheat on two acres of land where he used 200 pounds of soda per acre and the wheat weigh ed 65 pounds to the bushel: on 10 acres where no soda was used he grew 165 bushels of wheat that weighed 64 pounds per bushel. This was an average of 18.5 bushels per acre as compared to 29.5 bushels per acre with soda. This means that the soda increased the yield 11 bushels per acre. This was a paying investment. The soda Was furnished Mr. 3ennett gratis on the two acres as an experiment. MRS. S.
