Any local dealer in farm imple-
ments should be able to secure this
equipment readily, but orders should
be placed at once SO that everything
may be ready for operation when the
sorghum is ready tf harvest.
Should any local dealer be unable
to quote prices, names of manufac-
turers and jobbers will be furnished
on request.
Better results will be secured with
any equipment if it is operated by the
same person throughout the season in
stead of having it done by different
persons, as is customary in son1e To-

HARVESTING SORGHUM.

BY M. w. Hensel, Agent in Sugar
Plant Cooperative Work Between
the North Carolina Extension Ser
vice and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Careful experiments and observa-
tions have proven that the best time
to cut sorghum for sirup purposes is
whe nthe seed is in the late dough
stage, just before hardening. At this
period it contains the highest sugar
content and the juice is in a condition
to make a sirup of excellent flavor.
If it is cut earlier than this the cane
| is too green and the sirup will have
| an unripe taste. If it is cut when the
seeds are very hard it is difficult to
clarity the juice and the flavor Of
| the sirup is not so good.
| Harvesting may be done either by
hand or with corn binder. For small
areas it is usually done by hand.
To make pure sirup, Of good La
vor, the leaves ard tops Of the cane
must Be removed before crushing. 1t
is generally better to remove the
leaves before cutting. The quickest
. way to do this is to strike off the
blades of the standing cane with a
sort of wooden sword, or flat stick
3 about three and a half feet long.
The canes. should be cut not over
$ six inches from the ground, lower II
: possible When the cutting is dons
q BY hand the stalks should be laie
! across the row with seed tops all II
the same direction. They can then b.
: gathered into bundles and the seet
q tons removed and put awey for curing
With a harvester and binder the seet
e heads are always at one end OF tn
bundle. The best topping instrument
is a carpenters broad-aXe. The toy
ping may be done by laying the head
on a block.
In removing the seed heads fror
,r six to eighteen inches of the uppe
= stalk should be cut off, as this pa1
contains little sucrose and many III
r.urities. For the same reason an
unripe stalks or immature sucker
, should be discarded.
az It is best to work up the cane so!
!, after it has been cut, but it may
ne safely kept for many days-evs
weeks-if the canes are tied in bu
of dies of forty to fifty stalks each al
ne the bundles set on the butt enc

TO CELEBRATE THE
 PASSOVER FESTIVAL
Special Services to Be Held at Temple Apshe Emeth During Jewish
 Celebration.

The festival of the Passover, whici begins March 2S and lasts until April 4, will be observed by special services at the Temple Anshe Emeth. Services and a public "Seder" will be conduct ed by Rabbi Raphael Goldenstein al the local temple on the eve of March 27 under the auspices of the Ladies Temple society. All children attend ing, the Anshe Emeth Sunday school are welcome to come.
 The festival of Passover (Hebrew Pesach) coincides roughly with the beginning of the spring season. It commentaries Israel's delivery from Egyptian slavery In the Jewish cal endar it's date is fixed from the 18th to the 22nd of Nissan, which this year, corresponds with March 2Sth to April 4th.
 Another name for this annual cele- bration of freedom is the Festival of Matzoth (unleavened bread, because throughout the feast only unleavened bread is to be eaten. In fact, all food substances that contain ferment or acid must be removed from Jewish homes prior to the holydays, so that there will be no likelihood of trans gressing the Biblical injunction against leaven being found in the house. Jews of the Reform wing ob- serve seven days as against eight of the Conservatives. Of these days, the first and the last (for the former), the first two and the last two for the latter) are observed as full holidays. The intermediary four or five days are of lesser degree of sacredness. The evening of the first and second Cays is characterized by a special service called the Seder, in reality 8 meal after oriental fashion. The rich symbolism of this meal is to be eX' plained as follows: The roasted lamb bone is reminiscent of the Passover sacrifice; the "matzoth" or unleaven' ed bread recalls the haste with which to prepare the bread for the journey; the "marar" or bitter herb reminds of the bitterness of the slaves life in Egypt. There are also at the festive board a roasted egg which is substi' ute for the ancient sacrifice, salt water, suggestive of the tears shed by the slave ancestors of the Israelites, and "harseth," mixture of almonds and apples, not unlike in appearance to mortar which the slaves used in mak- ing bricks. The whole ceremony is an explanation of these symbols, a re- counting of IsraePs stay in Egypt and of his marvellous deliverance, of Gods watch over his chosen people turnout their history. Praises are sung to the Almighty and prayer offered that free dom may always be Israel's lot as we'll as that of the remainder of man. kind.

LOST HIS

Had Bright's Disease-Took Hobo
 Got His Engine Back Again.

Railroads companies are strict about the physical condition of their loco motive engineers. An engineer has hundreds of lives in his custody every time he takes out train load of pas sengers. So when Engineer E. &. Hardy, of Marshall, Tex, got sick and was examined by the chief surgeon of the Texas Pacific hospital. he was
 made to quit work when the doctor found he had very bad case of Bright's Disease. Hardy then went to Denver. Col.-to a specialist-who found the blood pressure 225 and urine full of albumin. Doctor told him he would never be able to work any more. Hardy then returned home and some friend suggested that he take the ceIe- brated Hobo Kidney and Bladder Rem edy. He took thirteen bottles, was again examined by chief surgeon, who said his blood pressure was normal and no albumin. Got his engine back and heartily recommends "Hobo" to all afflicted with kidney trouble. Try Hobo" Your druggist can supply you--S1 per bottle.

"The war in Europe has reached the setage where 1t is now question of man,pt wer. We are into it, and the burdel, is on us. The German line, it haa been shown, can be bro ken. Our duty is to keep men pour ing into Fra nce who will not only succeed in bre aking that line but also making the ope'ning wider and wider, and keep driving them back It is the greatest and most stupendous task that ever confronted this nation"
 Thus Edward F. Trefz, who is to address d meeting at the tabernacle here Thursday evening, is quoted in the Little Rock Democrat of yester- day. The meeting is held at the sug' gestion of the government. No ad- mission will be charged, and no sub scription asked The purpose IS to get before the people tine absolute ne cessity of conserving food, and sup porting in every way the government and the armies ill the war against Prussian barbarity MT.

 Russia is no longer a factor in the war;" MT. Trefz continued, according to the published interview. "She has collapsed. The Germans are dipping the mailed fist into the Ukraine, the granary of Europe, and they are now in possession of rich oil lands. Oil and grain were sorely needed by Ger many an dthey have gained valuable possessions from their drive into Russia. Germany today is in a posi- tion of being able to take the oil and grain from Russia and dump it, lit erally speaking, into Germany's back yard. The important thing for every loyal American man and woman now is to get the real vision of the terri ble seriousness of this war and render to the government their fullest meas ure of support

Grady Smithy Denies Booze
 His Property
Charge Against s. P. Adams Dismissed-P. M. May
 field Held.

s, P. Adams, blacksmith of Grady was before United States Commission CT A. l.. Burnett yesterday morning on a charge of violating the Reed amendment by causing intoxicating liquor to be transported from wet ter ritory in one state to dry territory in another. After a hearing, the charge was dismissed by the commissioner.
 P. M. Mayfield, also of Grady, was held by the commissioner to await the action of the federal grand jury on charges of resisting the enforce ment of the se,ective draft act and violating the Reed amendment. Bond was fixed at $500 in each case. May field was arrested by United States Deputy Marshal A. H. Reed, and waived examination.
 The case against Adams hinged on the testimony of two young negroes, employed by liouor house at Mon roe, and is not without humorous as we'll as peculiar features. The ne- g"oes testified they had been instruct ed by their employer to take about IS gallons of whskey to MT. Adams at Grady; that they began the journey with the contrabrand. but that at Me Gehee officers boarded the train and confiscated tho whiskey. The negroes came on to Pine Bluff, and telegraph ed their employer the circumstances. adding the request that hn send them transrortation back to Monroe. Adams denied that he had ordered the whis- key. or knew anything about it baino sent bv the negroes. He admitted that at one time hn had purchased a ouart from the colored men. As tha evidence did not prove that Adams had ordered the whiskev there was rothinr to substantiate tho char~e that he had caused it to be transported and as the nurchase of whiskav. if on offense under the law is cne aoairst the state. the commissioner ordered the accused released.

SENATE AGITAT|ON FIR

Washington, March 19.-Opposition to the proposal to make S2.5O npr bushel the government price gparan q
 tee for 1918 wheat opened today in the senate, after nearly three days debate by senators from western az. rlcultural states in favor of the in. crease. Action was deferred again
 with the supporters of the Legislation confident of securing a majority, but doubtful about the two-thirds vote nee. essary to add it to the pending agricu. tural appropriation bill. Senator Pomerene of Ohio, Democrat, spoke at length against any increase, de. claring that the price of S2.2O ore. scribed by President Wilson's recent proclamation was ample. He said proposals in congress for increase had caused wheat hoarding and suffering by the allies, and that the agitation came mostly from states where the crop was below normal. An increase he added, would mean higher bread prices for consumers already suffering from the high cost of living. Senator Gore of Oklahoma, author of the pro. posed amendment, interrupted to point out that the under the administration railroad control bill, the railroads may go into court to have just compensa' tion fixed for their properties taken over by the government, and to ask if farmers should not have similar privileges.
