In both the War and Navy Depart
ments they're snickering over some racy
facts and figures just brought to light
about the recent tour Of Governor Gen
eral Dwight F. Davis through the Far
East. Aboard u. 8. S. Pittsburgh, and
accompanied by his son, daughter
aides. and two members of the Filipino
cabinet, Gov. Davis paid cere-
monial round Of respects to all the
caliphs, sultans. gaekwars, emirs and
raiahs between Manila and Singapore
Throughout official Washington all re-
sponsibility for the 100000 tour" is
yociferously disclaimed. The Navy ad-
mitS offering to furnish the Pittsburgh,
but the whole junket seems to have
been the private brain-wave OF Mr..
Davis. Certain eyebrows are raised over
the circumstance that In the midst OF
the Hoover economy drive, especially In
the Navy, the decrepit Pittsburgh. which
is due for the junk heap, should have
been assigned for so costly a farewell
service. A special litter Is audible over
the coincidence Of Davis resignation as
governor general of the Philippines
shortly after his picturesque peregrina-
lions among the enchanted Islands OF
the mystic East.

they can get this argument across to

Make Land Fertile
Dean Schaub Advises

Now hat North Carolina is closely
approaching the production of needed
food and feed crops, little expansion
in this direction may be made by farm
ers looking for substitute crops for
cotton and tobacco. The next step
therefore is to fill the land with hum
us and organic matter so that it
might be put into a high state of fer
tility looking to better days in farm
ing.
I'VE do not think that cotton
growers may turn successfully to the
production of tobacco next season."
says |. O. Schaub, director of the ag-
ricultural extension service at State
College. 1--WE do think, however, there
is a great need to build up the fer
tility of the soil so that it may pro-
duce more profitable acre yields in the
future. There is little cash to be OBJ
tanned in producing cotton and tobac-
co anyway and the man who has
grown all of his food and feedstuffs
is in a good position to plant legumes
so as to add to the fertility of his soil.
The beginning should be made this
fall"

Iredell Club Boy
Wins Scholarship

Max Culp, All dairy calf club
member from lredell county has been
awarded a two-year scholarship at the
North Carolina State College for his
accomplishments in this project dur
ing the past three years.
Max began his calf club project
three years ago when he purchased a
pure bred Jersey heifer at the South
Carolina state %sale," says L. R. Har-
rill, club leader at State College. His
financial record for the past season
shows the value of his original calf
and its Offspring to be $3.50. He has
sold $3.50 worth of milk and won
$S3 worth of premiums, making a to-
tai value of $691. In addition to these
returns from his calf, Max won the
Jersey Calf Club gold medal for the
best Snowman at the 1929 State Fair;
two gold medals for the best Snowman
and the best fitted animal at the 1880
State Fair, and, the silver medal for
the high o in judging Jerseys. At
the recent State Fair, he-was again
awarded the gold medal for the best
fitted animal"

FALL BEST Time
TO APPLY lime

While crop rotations will modify
to some extent the time of applying
limestone to soils, usually best results
are secured when this material is ap-
piled in the fall or early winter on
plowed land.
Farm roads are in better condition
in the fall and the operator can get
out over his fields easier than he can
when the land is wet and muddy in
the spring." says c. B. Williams, head
of the department of agronomy at
State College. Much of the rush of
farm work will also be we after the
crops are harvested. Lime applied at
this season on plowed land will be
thoroughly mixed with the soil by the
action of rains, snow and freezes and
being thus incorporated into the soil,
the lime will satisfy the needs of the
soil before another crop is seeded in the
spring"
Mr.. Williams says the crops that US
ually will respond to lining and re-
eeive the greatest benefits are red,
crimson and alsike %clovers, alfalfa,
lespedeza, cowpeas, soybeans and hairy
vctch. The yields of cotton, corn and
small grains will also be materially
increased by the use of lime when
these crops are grown in rotations
where suitable legumes are included.
If part of these legumes are plowed
under the use of limestone will be more
profitable.

Beef Cattle Move
To East Carolina

Approximately 5000 head of beef
cattle moved from western North
Carolina into the eastern part of the
State during the fall of 1880 where
crop farmers fed the animals and saw
ed some of the best for breeding pur-
poses.
I'VE believe hat equally as many
animals from the western part of the
State and from southwestern Virginia
will be purchased by eastern Carolina
growers this fall and winter" says l..
L. Case, animal husbandman at State
College. "A number of carloads have
already been shipped and indications
are that many others will move into
this territory in the next few weeks.
The east has a good crop of forage and
hay this year and this rough feed may
be used in the production of beef in
addition to adding valuable fertility
to the SOIL"
