SUNFLOWER SILAGE
GIVES GOOD RESULTS

Sunfower silage gives as good re-
suits in fattening steers as more ex-
pensive feed as is proven by an ex-
pertinent just finished by the Wash
ington Experiment Station.
This is the first of series of exper-
iments to be made on the feeding val
ue Of sunfiower silage, the price Of
which per ton is $44 as compared
with SAC for corn silage, $4S for al
falfa hay, and $40 for cottonseed
meal.
Twenty-Five Shorthorn and Here
ford steers were fed, 10 receiving an
average daily ration of lbs. cotton
seed meal, 1872 lbs. cut alfalfa hay.
and 1916 lbs. corn sligo to each steer.
The other u steers were fed 81 lbs.
cottonseed meal, 1875 lbs. cut alfalfa
hay, and AZ lbs. sunfower silage.
Both lots gained 1.2 lbs. per head
each day of the IS days of the test,
the total gain per steer being a little
over 90 lbs. The cost of feed for each
steer receiving the sunfower silage
was $3.50, as compared with 1857
for each of the other steers. No diff
ference in condition in the two lots
could be detected.
The tops in both lots of the 10 head
sold brought 1925 per hundred
weight the others hrinpinp So 80
The steers averaged about 1850 lbs.
at the close of the test. They cost
about SIS apiece as feeders.
at is evident that there is suffi-
Gent margin for profit" said jerry
Sotola of the animal husbandry de-
partment, discussing results. "The
returns from the sunfower silage fed
cattle were higher than those from
the corn fed cattle, because the corn
was 50 ton higher in price"

SOY BEANS

There have been a number Of
farmers in the last week asking
this question, "What is wrong
with my stand Of soy beans as
had good seed and fixed the
ground right before planting
That is another thing that we
can blame on the excessive
amount Of rain that we have had
in this section.
When soy beans are planted
in ground that runs together and
bakes after a hard rain, you
may expect a poor termination,
if the land is not mulched with
a weader as soon as it is possible
to do so. Soy beans may fail
to come through crust that
would offer but little resistance
to cowpeas. Then too, soy beans
have a tendency to heat where
there is an excess Of moisture
and this heating will destroy the
terminating power.
If it is possible to do so, it is
best to run a Weeder over the
fields after hard rain, and help
the young beans through the
crust. There are two fields in
the country that were planted
from the same seed and there is
a vast difference in the looks OF
them. One was planted before
one of the hard rains and the
other after.

aid between the two the Re
publicans Of Congress are i'll
pretIicament and know not which
way to turn. The final and Ia
test decision is to make the
bonus unfinished business after
the tariff, and possible the ship
subsidy bill have been passed.
Their excuse to the former sol
diers will not doubt then be that
they did not have time to pass
it before election, but that if
they will be perfectly good ap 1
vote for them during the fall
elections they will try and pass
the bill for them. Results in
the coming elections will show
just how gullible these men are.
Possibly there will be some as
founding awakenings among the
wise ones. The Republicans are
truly in an unenviable situation
and should be pitied rather than
censured for they know not
what to do.

THE BONUS BUG-A-BOO

One day they say they will

Republicans are in quandary
as 10 what to do. They fear
that if they do not pass the
bonus. or keep promising the ex-
soldiers that they will do so, that
they will not get their votes

they know that if they do pass

KEEP ABUSE OUT OF
POLITICS

It is a pity that abuse and vii.
LITIGATION should ever get into
politics and the good name and
motive of candidates be attacked
simply because they happen to
be running for some particular
office.
We take no sides in the fight
between Mr.. j. w. Bailey and
Mr.. .Iindale in the Seventh Jud-
zeal District, but we do d1sap-
prove heartily Of the attitude
taken by Mr.. Bailey in his per-
sonal attacks upon various lndl-
siduals. We believe that men
should be selected carefully for
office and everything possible
done TO keep unworthy and I'M
scrupulous men out Of office,
but il is such attacks as Mr.
Bailey is making that keeps many
a good clean man from running
for office. Villification and
abuse never accomplished any
good and it may result in black
ening the name of one who has
always been held in the highest
esteem. The same results can
be accomplished in clean, open
fight without resorting to per
sonal abuse and detraction. AS
a general thing North Carolina
politics have been kept clean Of
such tactics, so let us frown down
upon the tactics being used by
our sood friend, Hon. j. W
Bailey. He has done a good
work liz his writing and his adj
vocacy of movements and poll
cteS affecting the farmer and he
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1922-06-20

that year has meant to him and
he can plan for the coming year
IN an intelligent manner, other
wise he is simply moving in the
dark trusting to luck that he is
making a profit. Apply bust
ness methods to farming and it
will pay; run on in a slip-shod
manner keeping no account OF
cost ana it will nine times out Of
ten prove Improbable and fin
ally end in restitution and want.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1922-06-20
KNOW THE CROPS WHICH
PAY

Thousands of farmers are to-
day keeping accounts Of var
ious crops and at the end of the
year they know exactly just
what each crop has cost them,
what it was sold for and how
much profit or loss was made
on each crop. We fear, how
ever, that many Of the farmers
in this section are not doing that
thing, and if they would they
probably would find that some
crops are proving Improbable
and should be cut out.
In order to make a success of
farming the same methods must
be used as those used in any
other business. When a mer-
chant finds that particular line
is not paying him he cuts it out
Of puts it on paying basis. The
farmer must do this thing and he
can get assistance from the agri-
cultural agent in this connection.
IF he will keep correct accounts
Of Zach crop at the end Of the
year he will know exactly What

has had and merited their good
feeling, but if he continues along
the lines be has started they will
become Disguised with his tao
tics and will register their dis
approval Of them at the polls, if
he should become candidate
for governor, it. having been gen
orally reported that he aspires
to that office. Keep such things
out Of politics in this state, or
else it will keep the best men
from aspiring to or seeking Of
flee in the State.

LABoR-SAVINo DEVICES
ALL INVENTED BY MEN

The electric washing machine, the
vacuum cleaner, the electric iron,
dishwashers, and many others are
not the product OF women inventors,
but have been designed or invented
by men. This perhaps is as IL
should be because man after all Is
a better Inventor and constructor.
What is lacking, however, is con-
structive advice from the women
folk. II every women would make
plain what particular job she wishes
to be lightened, her suggestion prob
ably would result in some clever in.
ventor solving the problem.
For instance, there probably will
never be Invented a machine that
takes a chicken, plucks IL. cuts IL
apart, cooks or boils Il without hand
manipulation, although we might
come pretty close to Il. Then again,
no machine viii ever be Invented
that will take baby and give Il a
complete washing and dress II
for good measure. These are the
things that we must expect to do
even II the millennium OF mechan.
les and electricity has been reached.

PR|X De ROME
To AID MUSIC
IN u.s.. OFFERED
American Academy Opens De-
partment in Effort to Pro-
duoe Composers.

VIII the extension to Americans OF
privileges similar to those which
during the last century have pro-
duced the great composers OF
France have the same effect on the
development of American music?
That is. the question which the
American Academy in Rome Is so
confid~at the years will answer
in the affirmative that IL has now
opened a department OF musical
composition and established an an!
nual Prix de Rome so that the
most promising American COM
posers may enjoy the same advan-
tages that the French have long
had.
To the authorities in charge OF
the American Academy, and espe-
cially to Prof. Felix Lamond, who.
by raising a fund made the prize
of Rome i'm music possible, Amer
lea, as far as musical composition
is concerned, today stands where
France stood 100 years ago. When
Napoleon reorganized the Paris
Conservatoire he was struck by the
fact that France, unlike Germany
and Italy, had no great composers.
His surprise bore fruit in the shape
of the establishment of the Grand
Prix de Rome" for composers, a
foundation that gives to young
French musicians each year the
right to a four-year residence in
the Eternal City. together with am
pie opportunities to travel.
The men who gained that prize
are now known wherever music is
loved. The first one to gain fame
was BerlioZ. Then came Gounod,
Herold, Halevy, Bizet, Massenet,
Debussy, Charpentier-not to mem
ton the host of lesser lights. Writ
ually the entire genius of the
French school as we know II to-
day is the product Of Bonaparte's
idea.
If the next 100 years do not fm
the American musical constellation
with as many stars, 1t will no
longer be due to the lack of the fa-
cilities and the environment which
have aided the French composers
to find themselves. The American
Prize of Rome carries with II an
annual honorarium OF $1,000, and II
is tenable for three years. The
award is made each year by a ma
tlonal jury, which judges the works
submitted to 1t in competition. All
travelling expenses are paid by the
academy, which also offers the sue
cessful candidate a studio and liv-
ing quarters in the academy build
ing during his residence in Rome.
AS the United States Government,
unlike other governments, has no
department Of fine arts and con-
tributes nothing to the support of
them. the Academy of Rome, while
its charter was granted by con-
gress. is dependent upon the gifts
of private citizens for it's existence.

sPEYER STICKS TO VETS
IN FACE OF BOOTH ATTACK

NEW YORK, April Thames
Speyer, international 'banker, would
resign as chairman OF the Salvation
Army's annual campaign fund com
mittee, in preference to withdrawing
his support from the anti-prohiti-
ton movement, he said today in a
letter to Evangeline Booth, com.
mander of the army.
Miss Booth had urged Speyer to
sever his connection with the anti
dry movement. advising him that
consistency with her organization's g
principles would make II impossible
for him to retain his interest in
both activities.
Speyer. in his reply, said he was
opposed TO the saloon, but con.
sidered present prohibition laws EEK.
tremely harmful" and had enlisted
in a campaign to have them amend.
ed or repealed.
Speyer asserted. however, that
he would remain a friend and SUP.
porter Of the Salvation iArrny's
work. He said he would take
whatever action the citizens com
mittee. which selected him. desired.
