SAV|N ROCK ISSUE
 IS AIRED IN COURT
Contest Over Question Whether Resort Shall Be
 Opened Sundays.

New Haven Conn.,, April 18.-The contest over the question of whether or not Savin Rock, the pleasure re- sort in West Haven, shall be wide open on Sundays the coming sum- mer, was begun in the town court to- day. There was an even score of cases growing out of arrests last Sum- day for keeping open places of amuse- ment. The charge brought against all was that of violation of the Sum- day observance law. Pleas of not guilty were entered. The first case taken up was that of pr. Samuel De Waltoff, who is supposed to be the owner of a moving picture theater. In opening the De Walton case to- day, members of the town police told of visiting a moving picture theater, of seeing pictures exhibited, De Wal toff taking tickets at the door, Philip s. Kauver, another defendant, sell ing tickets and of seeing men in the orchestra pit.
 When attorneys for other defen- dants took hand in the questioning Judge Bryant said that it was un- necessary to ask questions about other times when the theater and amusement devices had been open.
 We are dealing with this specific time,' the court said. 1T have been and my family have been to the the aters on Sunday. We will keep this case right down to the question of what the defendants did last Sum- day.
 Only officers testified for the pros- ecution. De Waltoff testified in his own behalf and his attorney first of fered a notice filed by the defendant with the prosecuting officer to the effect that he observed Saturday as the Sabbath under the law.
 Deviation testified in regard to his religious belief. His counsel objected when Prosecutor Martin inquired about his business pursuits at Savin Rock on Sundays. Jacob Goodhart, for him, said the state had set aside two distinct Sabbaths, one for the Hebrew and the other for the Chris tan, and provided that each may ob- serve one as he saw fit. It makes no difference, MT. Goodhart claimed, whether the Hebrew having observed Saturday as his Sabbath conducted a butcher shop, a bakery or a moving picture theater on Sunday if he did not disturb any other person attend ing religious services. ..
 MT. Martin replied that the law of 1913 repealed the law of 1907 which MT. Goodhart had quoted. However the court excluded MT. Martins ques- tion. Four attorneys for defendants took part in the arguments.
 Dewaltoff was also served during court with a warrant charging him with lnlawflllly conducting a moving picture show last Sunday, not having been licensed. This case was con- tinued until next Saturday.
 The case ended by the court asking attorneys to give him briefs by next Wednesday. He will give decision next Saturday.

STATE GIVES HENDERSON co.
ss,7s5 OF EQUiLIzING FUND.
Public Schools VIII be Lengthened
From 50 to Minimum of 1OS Days
Throughout the State.

Henderson county will receive 3d.
765.75 cents from the State equalizing
school fund, according to the appor-
tionment made by the State board OF
education last week, this amount being
apportioned stothis county in order to
lengthen the public school term from
eighty to 1O3 and three-tenths days
The county board of education in
January apportioned the school assets
of $19,561.61 among the 5,613 school
children of the county, making a per
capita apportionment of $3.50.
BY reason of the 5 per cent which
this county has been levying on pro-
perty during the past few years for
school purposes it was not necessary,
as provided by the last session of the
general assembly, to levy special
tax of Is cents on the hundred dollars
worth of property and As cents on the
poll in order to provide for four
months school so that the county
would then receive sufficient appor-
tionment to make the school term oe
1eS and three-tenths days.

Prof. Brown Makes Annual Rebort Of
Corn Club Work in This District.
The annual report of T. 3. Browne.
state agent for the boys corn club
work in North Carolina, has Just been
completed and made public. Every
county in the state is covered By ehis
report and IL gives the number 81
boys enrolled in the clubs, the nu1r-
Der of bushels raised and the average
cost perbushel. However this reporr
was compiled from figures submitted.
several months ago and consepuentIv
Goes not contain correct figures as to-
the number of boys enrolled in the
work IN this county at the presen.
time.
1t is set forth in the report that
there are 91.196 boys enrolled in cori
club work in the United States and
that the department., of agriculture Of
the national government is working
with the aim to increase this to q total
OF 10000 by the end of the year 1914
Of this number North Carolina fur
nished his only 2,276. or about one forty

lighter lands use more of the elements
to force growth, combined with others
which will mature the fruit. High
grade phosphate may be considered a
basis for increasing the fruit and has
tcning the maturity of the crops. Even
en- the richest land it has been demon
strated that small percentage of nj
trogen added to the acid phosphate
gives better results.
Since the elements of plant food al
ready mentioned are required in differ
eht quantities by different plants and
since the soils differ in their supply,
it is well for the farmer to know what
his soil and plants need before in
vesting his money in fertilizers. The
practical way for the farmer to deter
mine these is to observe the growth
of the plants on his land. IT the
plants grow rapidly and make al
abundance of stalk it is evidence OF
a good supply of nitrogen. If there is
is a sure indication that the soil needs
phosphoric acid. On the other hand,
if the plant does not have good color
and tends to drop it's fruit before it
reaches a fair size it indicates that
the plant needs potash. Practically
all, the soils in Henderson county are,
deficient in nitrogen and phosphoric
acid, but if the farmer has made all.
manure possible and has grown peas
and other legumes abundantly, he will
rarely have to buy nitrogen. Nitro
gen when bought on the market costs
20 cents per pound. so when a farmer
can produce so pounds of nitrogen to
the acre on the very commonest OF our
lands why should we then be paying
ten dollars per acre for material that
we can produce for the cost of about
$500 per acre.
A good rule to go by in fertilizing
is: on rich soils or. soils where heavy
crops of peas, beans, or clover was
grown the previous year, use 8 parts
of cotton seed meal to three parts OF
nhosphoric acid for corn. For land
lust mediumly supplied with nitrogen
use one part of meal to two parts OF
nhosphoric acid. Land that is very
thin use on part Of cotton seed meal
TO one part Of the acid.

\ MAKES SECOND CONTRACT
( .FOR $4,000 STREET BONDS
Chicas Irm Wanted to go to Court
so Q act Was AbrOgated and
Bonds Sold to- q Toledo Co.

+, The city commissioners have con-
t1acted to sell to Splitter & company
of Toledo, Ohio, the $4,000 street
tonds, which it wa sthought had been
seld to Nuyeen & Co., of Chicago.
The city recently contracted to sell
to the Chicago firm, but owing to the
factthat the bonddealers held up the
matter on some technicaltties, ex-
pl essing the desire that suit be
brought before the Supreme court to
establish the validity of the bonds, the
contract was abrogated The city
officials insisted upon the firm taking
the bonds, but as they refused under
the circumstances, it was thought best
not to press the matter further in that
Other firms desired the bonds even at
a better premium.
City Attorney e. w. Ewbank states
that the premium is satisfactory one
and that he doesn't think that there
will be any further undue delay in re-
'ceiying the money so that street work
can be undertaken not later than
March 15.
The Atlantic Bithulithic company
has contracted to pave Fifth avenue
from the city limits to Main street, the
work to be completed within ninety
days after notice is given to begin.
