very mucn Win Gne markeu COr-
relation between the productive.
ness of the soil and the character
of the farm homes and their sur.
roundings; schools and church
es; with the healthfulness of the
families; and with the education
al qualifications of the people.
In close proximity to such areas,
it is not uncommon to find other
areas sparsely settled with the
people living in humble homes
without Identification and with
their children not permitted to
enjoy the social, religious and ed
ucational advantages as do the
communities established on more
productive lands. The underly-
ing conditions largely causing
these differences is not hard to
find. My observations are, that
to a large extent they are funda.
mentally connected with differ.
ences in productiveness Of the
soils of these different communi.
ties. Does not this then, unmis'
takably point to the fact that the
greatest and most fundamental
necessity of North Carolina far
ming is that of securing and ap.
plying information that will aid
in the economic building up of
the productiveness of soils of the
State? No community, State or
Nation dependent upon its agri'
culture, can prosper when its
soils are not productive.
! North Carolina farming, In q
general way, therefore, cannot
be profitable unless goodly acre.
age yields are secured and at
economic costs per unit. No a.
mount of temporizing along 9th.
er lines in a broad way can bring
prosperity to the masses Of our
people on the farm. Year In and
year out, where farmers do not
get goodly yields of their crops,
lit is not possible to secure large
returns for labor and expenses
put into their production, it mat
} ters not how favorable prices
may ordinarily be.
1t is evident, therefore, from
the foregoing that North Carroll.
, ma farmers must have economic
, production and in order to Sc.
cure this they must have more
productive soils 80 that larger
! acre yields may be secured. For
the average farmer, one of the
most economical means to aid In
building up soil fertility is by
the adoption of suitable crop ro.
J. tations on every farm in which
, legume enter, and to utilize the
=, Iegume after growth in such a
o way as that they will aid in bull
ding up the organic matter and
nitrogen supplies of the soil. On
S the general farm, it will have to
J be seen to that a portion at least,
n of the lagume latter growth &c
~ back to the soil direct. No one
Gin or has ever been able to re-
> move them from the land, and
h have their growth on the field
1t benefit the field In a permanent
9 way. 1t cannot be done.
g Again, after the crops have
. been produced, steps must bt
IL taken by farmers to see that thu
e very best returns are secured BY
them.

THE STATE MUST ACT.

Is North Carolina to allow it's
justice to be d etied and ridiculed
by a duly con bcted criminal who
with a sentence hanging over
him boldly threatens those who
seek further to invoke the law a.
gainst him? At present the state
is allowing this very thing.
Baxter Shemwell, oft a law
breaker, convicted in the Superb
or Court of Davidson county of
murderous assault and sentenc.
ed to serve thirty months on the
roads is the tangible proof of
this. With an audacity that few
possess this man some months
ago wrote from his Asheville
home Indignantly denying that
he was in hiding but asserting
that the Davidson county author
tiles knew his whereabouts. Yet
, he was not taken into custody.
1t challenges belief that later
Mr.. Shemwell appealed to the
very law whose decree he was
then defying for protection of
his civil interests and that this
law entertained his complaint
Apparently helpless to enforce
it's judgement against him it con-
sidered at his request giving or,
ders to those who would obey
them its motto remaining how
ever equal justice to ALL"
Every sense of justice demands
that the law enforce it's decree a
gainst Shemwell. If it does not
do SO it can no longer claim the
respect of the people and North
Carolina is humiliated. If the
law does not act vain is it for US
to preach against Lynch law and
private organizations which seek
to usurp the functions of the
lcOIrtS.t
i The case calls for immediate
action by North Carolina-th this
mans offense is against it anG
not merely Davidson county, il
is the state whose decree he de
ties. Unfortunately the Cover
nor has no power to remove coun
ty officials who neglect their du
| ty, but surely the DEGREES o
{ North Carolina law are not de
, pendent on the whim of one ol
, two county officials. The cas'
: demands immediate and effectiv,
l action by North Carolina
, officials must find a way to arres
this man. The law must be vim
, dicated regardless of cost-eX
pense must not stand in the wa
+ if necessary borrow the none
1 issue bonds but at all events wip
out this humiliation of the law. =

A WRONG IMPRESSION IS OUT ABOUT
lEES.McRAE INSTITUTE

ed in the newspapersa few weeks
ago to the effect that the name OF
the Lees MacRae Institute for
girls, at Banner Elk, built up du
ring the past twenty three years
under the guidance of Rev. Ed
gar Tufts, would change it's name
to the Woodrow Wilson College.
This creates an erroneous i'm.
preston. The name Of the insti.
tute, which has been an honora'
BILE one for all the years of its ex.
.istence, will not be changed; and
there was no intention of doing
it, The proposed Woodrow Viii,
son College is to be a separate
school under the same manage.
ment, but it is to take the place
of the high school and be a high
er grade institutional junior COL
which will in no way inter
fere with other schools, and give.
the girls an opportunity to pre-
pare for college, which the high
schools could not give.

the Lees Mac Rae Institute, con.
sisting of ]. H. Beall of Lenoir,

son of Banner Elk, met on the
evening Of the 9Th of July in the
beautiful rock community house
of the Institute at Banner Elk,
and thoroughly discussed mat
ters pertaining to the future de-
velopment of the institute. DR..
Robert King was elected chair
man and Mr.. F. H. Stinson, Sec
retery.
The only matter of public in
terest transacted was that the
trustees authorized the establish
ment of a junior college, to be
known as the Woodrow Wilson
College, provided it met with the
approval of Holston Presbytery.
An invitation to hold the next
meeting of the board Of trustees
in Lenoir, extended by Mr.. J. Il.
Beall was unanimously accepted.
The Lees MacRae Institute at
Plum Tree, the school for boys,
now under the same charter
with the Banner Elk institute,
will be separated from the latter

TOOTH PULLED BY
WIRELESS---NO PAIN

The wonders of wireless will seem
ingly never cease to startle the world
out of its ennui. The latest accom-
pllshment of radio was the extraction
of an aching molar across 500 miles
of h~eaving seas, The story of the
tooth pulling by wireless became
known upon the arrival in port of
the big steamship America, of the
United States lines.
1t was late in the night and DR..
A. +. Wood, surgeon of the America.

when was aroused by a pounding on
the door. He arose to be greeted by
the wireless operator with a radio
gram, n of the strangest DR.. Wood
IN his many Years at sea had ever
received.
Message o. K.
The message was from the CAPTAIN
of a small freight vessel. and stated
that he had been suffering for five
days with a toothache, and that he
desired aid in yanking the offending
molar. Although a surgeon, and not
a dentist, DR.. Wood decided that it
was an emergency in which he must
not be found wanting.
BY wireless, the Americas surgeon
called for a detailed history of the
molar. and when he had been
given the desired information, he de-
rlded that an extraction was necces-
'ary to give the freight captain re-
lief. The toothachy sailorman in
formed DR.. Wood that his chief en- {
was preparing to pull the tor /
nenting molar with a pair of wire
'liers, providing detailed directions I
we're furnished. :
Surgeon Responds
With all the exactness. of which 2
Ie is capable, the surgeon of the f
Anerica sent directions for the ex-
of the molar. Back came [
message from the freighter stating I
hat the directions were fully under 8
TODD and that the volunteer dentist, S
nth the wire pliers, was about to :
the job. 4
Half an hour later came the mes
age to the America:
Tooth successfully yanked. Your
enerous assistance warmly appre-
lated. God bless you.

allied upon more and more since the
