CROPS AND THE MOON.
State Biologist Mccarthy on the Moons
Influence.

State Biologist Gerald Mccarthy has
sent the following letter TO an enquirer
concernin~ the influence of the moon on
early truck crops:
Dear Sir: In regard to the influence
Of moonlight upon growing crops, permit
me to offer the following remarks:
The moon is an absolutely dead world
1t has neither atmosphere nor life. It's So
called light is merely the reflected light
of the sun. 1T reflects no appreciabe
heat The only direct influence of the
moon upon mundane affairs is that ex-
erted U~On the tides OF the ocean, due to
the force of gravitation.
Moonlight NIGHTS are however apt to
be cloudless NIGHTS. In early springtime
the temperature Of the lower air after the
sun goes down generally sinks to near
the freezing point. On cioudless nights
the earth radiates into the ST. much Of
the heat absorbed during the day.
This radiation and loss of heat may re-
duce the temperature OF the lowermost
stratum OF air to below the freezing point
go degrees f, and we have frost
which may kill tender vegetation. If,
instead of q clear sky, we had q sky over
cast by clouds. the heat radiated from
the earth would be reflected back again
from the clous and by this means the
temnerature of the lower air would be
kept above the freezing point. We thus
see that the moon is not the real or eff
ficient agent in producing or warding
off frosts. 1t merely records the pres
ence or absence of the true agent. which
is blanklet-like covering OF cloud"

the effect that the Goulds Were inter
ested in the recent purchase of the Nor
folk and Southern by a syndicate with
which several Pittsburg capitalists are
identified, was fatty denied today at the
Gould headquarters in this city
1t was stated explicitly by Mr.. Gould S
representative that neither the Goulds
nor any of the Gould syndicates have
any interest in North Carolina, or any in
tention of acquiring interests In that
State. The Chesapeake Transit Company
is not Gould corporation and does not
represent any Gould syndicate.
1t has been stated that the purchase
of the Norfolk and Southern was made
in the interest of the Wabash, but the
denial by the Goulds would seem to
dispose of that idea.

MILTON REVENUE FRAUDS NOW EX-
CEED 100000.

The amount of the frauds On the Gov
eminent at Milton. Caswell county. by a
rectIfier i'll collision with internal revenue
officials, grows daily. At first they amount
ed to a few thousand dollars. last week
Mr.. Bouldin estimated them to be $50, 000.
an dnow the Greensboro Patriot estimates
that they will aggregate 100000 The
details of the frauds have already been
told in these columns. Mr.. Bouldin says
they could not have been successful if the
express provisions of the law had been
carried out in the office of the Collector
of Internal Revenue in Raleigh and the
Greensboro Patriot says it is claimed for
Mr. Mebane, who will be tried in Greens
boro on Monday on the charge of collu-
sion, that he went to Milton under ex-
press orders from the collector to do what
the gauger there, Mr.. Davis, told him. -
and the Patriot, adds: eff such is the
case there was evident oollusion between
the collector and gauger.' The collector
refuses to talk until the matters all come
out in court
Stealing 100000 by collision with a
gauger and other internal revenue officials
is pretty big fraud to be practised in
quiet and honest little village like Mil
ton. 1t is a scandal that stinks to high
heaven. Let there be full and complete
investigation and let the results be given
fully to the public. No white washing!
