Helps SolL Raleigh.—W. H. Darst, head ol the crop improvement work of N. C. State college has a ‘'believe It or not" yarn in these times of depres sion on farms. ‘‘One farmer visited last week H building an up-to-date feed ban: with a concrete silo which he ex pects to pay for with this year's crop of lespedeza seed," Mr. Darst said. "His seed will have a value of $10,000 at present prices.” Not to be too heartened by one report, Mr. Darst continued his travels In territory growing les pedeza. Another farmer reported ha would pay a note for $600 this fall from money secured from selling his seed under contract for $8,000 Another said he was buying an ad ditional farm this year from the returns of his lespedeza seed and would pay off debts and mortgages of long standing. “Some of the reports made to os were hard to believe,” Professor Darst sale! "But when one spends a day oh a particular farm, ha learns that they are true. Our field Inspection of certified lespedeza seed has been in progress for the last four weeks and will continue for another week at least. Some 4,500 acres will be minutely inspected. About 1,250,000 pounds of good seed : hould be harvested from this area and certified Korean and Kobe les pedeza is now bringing from 30 to 25 cents a pound on the market. "In this day of apparent distress on many farms it Is a great relief to meet personally some of the sev eral prosperous Piedmont growers. ’ Professor Darst said. The lespedeza seed producers art quick to see the advantages of seed certification and are developing' a new industry for the state, the ex pert said. There is a great demand for pur: lespedeza seed, free of noxious weed seeds and other mixtures and North Carolina is rapidly getting into a position to be able to supply such seed all over the nation, Professor Darst sai$. He was greatly enthusei over the progress being made in producing the certified seed and said when the pressing demand fo seed was over, the crop still had a high value for hay, pasture and soil improvement, "Some of the men who are now growing the crop for seed are just itching to cut it for htfyhe said. "I also saw one of the finest fields of corn in Rowan county that 1 ever expect to see anywhere which was produced by plowing under a crop of lespedeza and sweet clover. Tire lespedeza also prevents thc washing of soil and will be the sav ing of many a rolling Piedmon. field.” Should Can Nine Quarts Tomatoes For Each Person Raleigh.—If sufficient tomatoes were not canned during the past summer so that every member ci the family can have at least nine quarts this winter, more should he canned before the season closes, Miss Mary E. Thomas, food special ist at N. C. State college, urges. Nine quarts is a minimum suppi' she said. Even the baby should be figured in. Babies grow better, show les tendency to become anemic and de velop better teeth if vitamin C, found in tomatoes, is in the diet from early infancy. "Whether raw, cooked, or canned, ripe tomatoes contain valuable food elements that are necessary for good nutrition and when grown and ear ned at home, provide an inexpen sive food," Miss Thomas said. "They may be substituted for oranges as they rank with the citrus fruit is one of the richest sources of vita min C and they are superior to Jt as a source of A B and G. This means that tomatoes contain those vitamins which promote growth and help keep the tissues of eye ear, nose and throat resistant to infection, stimulate the appetite, aid the digestive processes, and pre vent pellagra. They should be ca. en <t least three times a we;;; throughout the year.” Gifford Deplores Lack Of Spending Washington—The public, by fail ure to spend its money, is blamed by Walter S.

It tell* of an important cotton m.~ president, a man who U very v eil known to most of us, and also a man whom we all regard very highly. He was visiting one of the leading Souther.i^citle*. so the story roes, and was accosted on the street by a man who asked for reme money. The man wanted ten cents or so. Our mill friend, who is known to be quite generous said: "Thai** all right, my friend, here's a quarter." And with that the man who had he reed for the money started to damn the negro?#. They were tak ing his work away, they were work ing cheaper than he was willing to work. The mill man became interested ; id Hiked what kind of work this fellow was doing. He said he was doing brick-laying, and couldn't up*. work any more, because the ir Sxoes would do It lor so much leaf. The beggar went on with h»| damning, he damned Hoover and ne damned the poiltlclrn«, he damned everybody. This gave chc mill man an uiw.

"You’ve given me an idea, saidj the mill man to Urn fellow who haul begged for the money. *Tm having; trouble with my mill. I've been run ning it fur several yean, and have not been making any money. You'i given me an idea. T think that I rill give the whole thing up. It, ha been a hard battle, worrying and fighting and getting nowhere; nothing feems to be right, so I think I'll give the whole thing up.' The beggar looked up. "What is going to happen to the people who are with you?" he asked. "Oil," said the nil’ll man, "they 11 take cars of themselves.*' "Well, how many have you got in your employ?” "Oil, several hundred, maybe four or five hundred," was the an swer. Tiie beggar looked up In horror. To have all those men thrown cut of work—and what would happen to ail their famine —what a catas trophe It would be! Before long, the beggar wits put ting up a staunch fight for the workers of the mill, and arguing vociferously with this executive to hsvr him ccntinu” operating his plant, even * if he oouldnt Wnai* money, just to take care of the peo ple who were working for him. The whole thing wound up as fol lows; The mill man agreed to kesp his mill going to make a profit if h* could, in order to see that his peo ple wero not forced to suffer c e privailon tlircugh lots of their jobs. On the other hand, the beggar agreed to go out and look for work, and if he couldn't get It at hi# own price, to take whatever he could g»l, rather than to go around doin.j nothing and damning every pod j and everything., The Piedmont ha.1, an idea that most of us, whether mill men cr bricklayers or whatnot, whether in office, store, factory or shop, would lose nothing by reading that agrln and by meditating upon it—Green ville Piedmont.

It passed another law appropria, ing considerable money for an in vestigation of the cotton seed in dustry, which Is good for some people at least, for It provides sev eral paying Jobs in hard times. What It Did Not Do. It did not pass any proposed law to curtail the acreage in cotton in 1932, in parallel with the Texas taw. It did not pass a law’ providing a bond issue to secure $15,000,000 to se loaned the farmers on their cot ton crop.
