Timely Farm Questions
Answered at N. C. State
_ ;
Question: Do you have any
printed information about how to
'spray fruit trees?
Answer: Yes. The Agricultural
Extension Service has a spray cal
endar for apples and a spray calen
dar for peaches, telling exactly the
sprays needed through the year and
how they are prepared. A card to
the agricultural editor at State Col
lege will bring each or both of the
calendars free of charge.
Question: How many eggs should
I set to be sure I have 100 new pul
lets in my flock after culling is
done?
Answer: Generally, you may ex
pect 60 percent of all eggs to hatch
and unless you have some serious
disease outbreak you will raise 80
percent of the chicks hatched.
Therefore, out of every 100 eggs
set, you should get 60 chickens of
which about one-half Will bo cock
erels. The final flock, of. course,
will depend on the severity of cull
ing but one should get at least 25
good pullets from every 120 to 130
eggs set.
Question: Does land wash more
in winter than„in summer?
Answer: Because most cropped
land in North Carolina is planted to
cleanly cultivated crops, erosion is
greatest/in this State during the
summer months. The Soil Erosion
Farm at Statesville is studying this
question and definite information
can be secured from the Superinten
dent, Mr. J. M. Snyder.
Since the fire at Sparta, Mrs. R. M.
Osborne has moved her sewing
room to the basement of Warren

Sent to Pen For From
Two to Five Years
OTHER CASES TRIED
Elkin, February 8.—(Special) —
The celebrated J. W. Frazier em
bezzlement case in which the de
fendant is alleged to have financial
ly wrecked the Biltrite Furniture
company, of this city, and which has
been continued time after time for
the past five years, again came be
fore the superior court in Dobson
Wednesday afternoon cloaked in
numerous doctors’ certificates ex
plaining just why this and that wit
ness could not be present and sug
gesting a continuance‘until a later
term of court.
J. Hayden Burke, of Taylorsville,
in his best manner, and profusely
regrettul of having to ask another
jontinuance, made the move for
postponement on the part of the
iefendant. But Judge N. A. Town
send, presiding jurist, took a look
it the record of the case and stated
is how it was time it was tried and
iviped frdm the docket'.
Mr. Burke agreed with Judge
rownsend. He too, thought it a
shame the case had dragged along
lor so long and said he was anxious
ind willing to have it tried. However
le couldn't help it if important wit
nesses had a habit of getting sick
svery time the case was scheduled
lor trial, and that he felt it only
fair to his client that it again be
postponed.
However, Judge Townsend didn't
see it that way. but wlten witnesses
were called and only one or two
answered, he consented to postpone
the case until Monday, ordering the
clerk to have every witness con
nected with the case in court at that
time.
Solicitor Carlisle Higgins, in pro
testing another continuance, stated
that he did not want the Frazier
case on the docket for another term
of court, and he said it like he meant
it.
W. W. Christain. former cashier
of the Bank of Mount Airy, charged
with embezzlement of approximately
$35,000, entered a plea of guilty and
threw himself upon the mercy of
the court. He was sentenced to from
2 to five years in state’s prison.
Christain was tried Wednesday af
ternoon.

In this startling trick, the magician seemingly pushes a huge
threaded needle through the body of an assistant, pulling the
needle out the other side, followed by the thread.
BXPLANATIONs
Under the clothes of the victim is a pipe, extending around one
side of his body from front to back. The needle, which is flexible,
is inserted in the front end of the pipe, is carried around the
body and emerges from the pipe in back. This operation is per
formed so quickly that the audience does not notice that the
needle and thread are momentarily shortened during the act.
Souses: "Magic Stage Illusions and Scientific Diversions "
by Albert A. Hopkins... Munn A Co.
' ir>r
It’s fun to be fooled —
...it’s more fun to KNOW
We like tricks...but we prefer to keep
them out of business.
Here’s one that’s interesting...The
illusion that by some obscure magic cer
tain cigarettes are "cooler" than others.
the explanation: Coolness is deter
mined by the speed of burning. Fresh
cigarettes bum slowly. They’re cool.
Parched, dry cigarettes bum fast.
They’re hot.
Camels are carefully wrapped in
moisture-proof cellophane... in the fa
mous, air-tight Humidor Pack. Camels
are cool because they’re fresh.
A cigarette blended from choice non
irritating tobaccos also gives a cooler
effect than one that is harsh and acrid.
The finer the tobacco the less irritating
it is, and therefore the “cooler.”
It is a fact, well known by
leaf tobacco experts, that
Camels are made from finer,
MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos than
any other popular brand. ^
This is why Camels are cool and mild,
non-irritating—full of flavor. This is
why Camels have given more pleasure
to more people than any other cigarette
ever made. It’s the tobacco that counts.
Keep the famous welded Humidor
Pack on your Camels. It assures you
a fresh, cool smoke.
_NO TRICKS
..JUST COSTLIER
TOBACCOS.
