BONUS BILL GETS
LITTLE ATTENTION
IS sIpETRAcKED WHILE SENATE
DISCUSSES THE STRIKES AND
THE NEWBERRY CASE.
HEFL|N FAVoRs ITS PASSAGE
Senator Underwood, In Brief Debate,
Voices Opposition to the Bonus
Increase.

Washington-The soldiers bonus bill
received but little attention in the
senate, as 1t was submerged under the
discussions of the coal and rail strikes
and the Newber:y case, with the re.
suit that the leaders do not now an
ticipate its passage for several days.
In the brief debate, Senator Under.
wood OF Alabama, the democratic
leader, voiced his opposition to the
measure, with Senator Hefin, demo.
crat, of the same state, vigorously
urging its passage.
Senator Underwood declared the
measure was not an adjusted compen-
sation bill; that it had been properly
named by the public-a bonus bill.
"You cannot measure service tC
country in dollars" declared the mi
nority leader III you are to measure
service in that way. then $625 is an
absurd proposition. The payment OF
dollar a day will not adjust that
great debt generous people must al
ways owe to the gallant men who car
ried the flag in time of war"
Senator Underwood argued that II 8
bonue was to be voted congress
should provide the funds through tax
alton on this generation and not post
pone payment Of the billions to time
when the veterans themselves would
be called upon to bear most Of thu
burden. He said the men who go
money through the war should help tc
pay the bonus Il one was to be given
Sounding a warning against pilinl
up huge debt against the future
Senator Underwood declared tina
should an emergency arise during tina
time, this debt might prove handi
cap not alone by man-power and In
dustrial capacity of country, but b!
financial resources.
Senator Heflin, supporting the bill
declared that those opposing the bo
nus had not made peep" when con
gress was voting millions for the set
tlement of claims of war contractors
He charged that war profiteers' wer'
fighting the bill Ito the death" ant
that the interests" were filling th'
newspapers with the greatest propa
ganda against the measure that hat
been attempted since war days.
Asserting that hundreds OF thous
ands of former service men were
now without jobs, Senator Heflin de
clared that there could be no tall
about "cheapening" a mans patriot
ism when hunger demanded that h
''get something to eat and a place t
sleep"

DIVERSIFIED AGRICULTURE
IN NORTH CAROLINA

The State Department of Agricul.
ture has recently issued statisti-
cal chart containing number of
maps showing the territory devot-
ed to various lines Of agriculture,
the value Of each crop and the per-
centage of cultivated land given
over to each crop. In commenting
on the facts contained in this chart
Mr.. Parker Of the department said
to. reporter for this newspaper:
: when North Carolina was rank
ed as the fourth state in the value
Of the % leading crops Of the coun-
try the nation thought there was a
mistake. Investigations were made
and satisfactory proof was found.
The idea Of over one thousand
car loads each of peaches and
strawberries going out from limit
ed areas was but one of many Of
the evidences. The leader In to-
bacco values. high in cotton, pota-
toes and peanuts, offer food for
thought.
"This state is often thought of as
a one-crop state, 80 here are some
facts: Corn occupies "a per. cent
Of the cultivated land area; cbtton,
16; wheat, 7; tobacco, s; oats for
grain. s: hay, Z; field peas for grain
3; soybeans, 8; sweet potatoes, 1.5;
Irish potatoes, 7, and sorghum
cane s per cent Of the area. AL
most 90 per cent of the farms are
operated by the owners. There are
over II acres Of plow land per head
of work stock. This looks like di.
versiflcation and basis for the
high rank In crops"

Ralel8n.
A aew road signal which gives all
the promise Of making grade crossing
as safe as grade crossing can be made,
and furnishes an automatic signal
which demands attention at danger
Gus curves has been erected by the
State Highway Commission at tho
railroad crossing on the Cary, road and
giving an effective demonstration.
The lights. one, hundred Of which
the State Highway Commission has
contracted for fSv delivery during the
year, are manufactured by the High
way Lighthouse Company Of Elizabeth,
N. J., and are to beN furnished to the
state without cost, the right being re-
served BY the Lighthouse company
to place advertising on two sides OF
the tower. In the event the commits
sion wishes to have, the lights only,
they may be purchased at the rate Of
$3.50 per station. Commissioner Page
has no present idea OF buying what he
can ga without cost.
The tower, standing ten feet or
more beside the road, is mounted by
a large globe which flashes red
danger signal which may be seen a
half mile from the point. The fash
Is commanding and tho acetylene
equipment requires recharging only
once in nine months. This; ALSO, is
done BY the manufacturing concern
without cost to the state.
At crossings on the Cary road, au
tomobiles approached the light with
caution, and many drivers stopped tc
read it's caution. In the daytime the
light continues to burn, and the face
Of the tower gives the road number
and serves as a milepost furnishing
information on distances to points on
the road, while its advertising speaks
for itself.
Contracts have already been sign
ed for one hundred of the lights. The
highway commission, however, is anx
ious to have more OF them. Road mer
and lutomobilists have pronounced
the tower a success as road warn
ing. The establishment of the towers
will be in accordance with the direc
tion of the highway commission, al
places designated.

DAIRY COW WILL

IMPROVEMENT Of STOCK
Means More Than Increased Profits
to the Dalryman, the Department
Declares.

Washington. - Breeding q dairy
COW that will give enough milk to
feed thirty children a day, more than
six times the capacity Of the ordinary
COW, is one OF the feats Of the in
dustry which has been accomplished
by the u. 8. Department Of Agricul-
ture and which can be done by proper
feeding and selective breeding. On
its experimental farm near Beltsville,
j., Nd, the department has herd Of
six cows, the result of breeding work,
that have produced an average Of
more than $4,000 pounds Of milk in
3s5 days. This little herd yields
enough milk to provide quart a
day for ITO children.
An ordinary COW, or scrub, produc-
es only enough milk to feed five chill.
dren a quart day, while good cow
yields enough to give 20 children a
quart a day. The supercow, as the
department calls her. and there are
more of them in this class every year,
gives enough milk so that small
herd might easily supply this guam
tity to all the small children in a
small town.
The improvement Of dairy cows
means more than increased profits
to the dairyman, the department de.
clares: It means cheaper and more
milk. the best bone and muscle max.
or for children. Good breeding and
good feeding have made the differ
euce. What this means is brought out
iorcibly in a poster prepared by the
department which is available to all
those interested in the subject.
