POLICE COMMISSIONER
SOLVES CROP
MYSTERY
K .•
.The reason some crops are weak and
poor when on the other side of the
fence the/ are thick and luxuriant has
.been solved to the satisfaction of Police
Commissioner B. W. Walker of Barn
well, S. C. He says good crops are
always grown when American nitrate
of soda is used, because of its high
nitrogen content and purity.
According to Police Commissioner)
Walker, farmers who use American
nitr.'te of soda are helping themselves
by following Dr. Charles H. Herty’sl
recent advice of “Southern fertilizers!
lor the Southern farmer.”
For these reasons use and recom-i
nend

"H0NE8T JOHN”, PATRIARCH
BLACK BEAR, HAS ROAMED
WE8TERN N. C. HILL8 FOR
HALF CENTURY
Asheville, N. C., Mar. 21.—Weigh
ing at lest 700 pounds in his heavy
winter coat and giving evidence of
his great size by the tracks which he
leaves behind him, “Honest John” a
giant patriarch among black boars
.» still roaming through the wildB
of the Balsam Mountains.
"Hcnest John” in the opinion of
old rpear hunters is at lest a halt
century in age. He is a wily old bear
which probably account for his
great age, and his tracks by actual
measurements are seven inches in
width and e'even inches n length.
The size of these great tracks have
been used in estimating “Honest
John's great weight.
Although many hear hunting par
ties have started out with the avow
ed intention of bringing home “Hon
est John's” lifeless body, all have
returned empty-handed. .The old
bear has proved himself too smart
for the hunters and too big for the
dogs.
His reputation in the region of the
wild Balsams near the boundary of
the Great Smoky Mountains Nation
al Park, has become almost fabled.
His name he gains from the fact
that he has a liking for hog meat
and although many droves of moun
tain porkers wander through the tim
her of his tabitat, he is too honest
to kill more than one at a time and
always picks the carcass clean be
fore he seeks another hog.
"Honest John” is oot the harmless
variety of black bears which never
molest human beings, but many hunt
ers have been on his trail in his 50
■ cars of life Wild life lovers have
advocated that the North Carolina
state legislature enact a special law
protecting “Honest John's" life for
ill time. On the other hand enthusi
astic hunters have petitioned for per
mission to hunt Honest John' out
of season to put an end to his hog
killing. And so the fame of the old
bear grows.
“Honest John” has one distinctive
mark. He caught one paw in a trap
years ago and lost a toe whicu
makes his tracks distinctive for
‘heir peculiarity as well as their
size. Where he dens in the high
Balsams, nobody knows, but his
name and his reputation are tilings
to conjure with in the North Caro
iua mountains.
