There were pap and ma and

Something in the kids voice
told the agent that he was 60

So he, in turn, grew a little
tougher.

The boy shrugged his shoulders

From now on, marriage will be
sufficient career for Virginia
Bruce.
The ex-follies beauty, who re-
Gently married Jack Gilbert, will
make no more pictures under her
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer contract.
Jack told me about this when
W; met at the premiere of Rain"
He says: Virginia thinks, as I
do, that one career in the family
is enough. Last week. she ex-
planned her ideas to the studio
and they were very nice about it.
1t makes me proud to think she
is willing to give up chance at
Stardom for my sake"
The last screen appearance Of
Virginia will be in "Kongo," the
picture she was making at the
time of her marriage.
Meanwhile, if the studio has no
immediate vehicle in mind for
him, Jack plans to take his bride
or honeymoon trip. They
haven't decided yet where they
will go.

"It happened the other
night, Mark" writes Mildred B.,
"in one of your favorite speak
easies. The man is a multi-mil-

ware business, he retired just be-
fore the depression with plenty
of sugar. And he has been try
ing to drink himself out Of the
picture ever since.
Strangely enough, he has
been married to the same woman
for 20 years. Not so strangely,
he has a sweetheart in addition
to his wife. The wife knows all
about the sweetie, but she is
sensible woman. At least 1 think
that's what they call them.
Why should I leave him
now?' she says to her friends.
AT this stage of the game. I'd
be fool. What would I get?
Nothing but scandal, publicity
and dirt. And what more would

more than I have now. And
maybe less.

Now let's get back to the
other night. The hardware
man was sitting in this very
tony speakeasy with his wife.
The sweetheart suddenly popped
in and sent a note to his table.
She had evidently trailed the
couple to the spot and was jeal-
GUS of the wife. 1t was some
thing like the old story of the
showgirl who told all her
friends that her sweetie had
been unfaithful to her because
he went back to his wife.

Growing Insult

THE millionaire, in his cups
as usual. read the note and
grinned. He invited her to the
table-with his wife. Practical
as the wife is. she was unable
to stand this insult. She
blamed the other woman more
than her husband. Consider
that statement, Mark. It's
worth story itself.
"'I think stated the wife
angrily, that you have an un-
mitigated gall to come here in
this fashion. How dare you
do such a thing to me?'
Then it was the sweetheart's
turn. She let loose a TRADE
that was a lulu. People were
beginning to turn and stare.
The proprietor was wondering
if he should take action. Finally
the husband could stand it no
longer.
Listen, you girls he mutt
tered as he rose from the table,
I'm getting sick of all this
squawking. It's making me
nervous, an I don't like to be
nervous. I'm leaving

Red Leaf Cotton
Is Danger Signal

The cotton grower who wants to
learn how easily different cotton va
rieties mix with each other might
study the effect of red leaf cotton in
a community. Seldom are any fields of
red leaf cotton found in North Car
DINA, only one or two in any commun-
ity, but the effect of these few fields
is seen for miles round about.
when we find a field of the red
leaf cotton in a community, there is a
large percentage of the fields of other
varieties showing a mixture Of red
leaf plants" says P. H. Kline, plant
breeder at State College, 1.-THE amount
OF the mixtures may vary from an oc-
caslonal plant up to 20 percent or
more. Planting seed saved from a bale
of cotton following a bale of the red
leaf will contain from IS to 20 per
cent of mixture and some mixture
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1932-01-29

will be found in the second, third,
fourth and on up probably to the
tenth bale unless the seed roll is dump
ed and the gin cleaned after handling
the red leaf variety"
Plant breeder Kline has also found
some mixture in the field due to pollen
mixing by bees and insects. In one
community where all the growers
have united to grow an improved va
riety producing a good medium staple
of one inch to one and one-sixteenth
inch, a grower continues tt plant the
red leaf cotton. The other growers find
it impossible to keep their improved
seed pure even though they take every
precaution at the gin. This red leaf
cotton is inferior and is not proof
against the boil weevil as some unin-
formed growers seem to think"

State Dairymen Find
Ideal Legume Plant

Because lespedeza has a three-polnt
value long sought by dairymen of this
State, the legume is destined to become
of great economic Importance to the
dairy industry of North Carolina.
Dairymen of North Carolina have
been searching for many years tor a
legume which would reseed itself,
could be used for producing both hay
and pasturage and would grow on an
acid soil. They have found such a crop
in lespedeza, says John A. Arey, dairy
extension specialist at State College
Arey points out that most soils / n the
State are acid and it is a waste OF mon
ey to sow a lime-loving legume on an
acid soil. Yet dairymen must have le-
gumes because cows cannot produce a
profitable milk flow on grass hays or
grass pastures. Therefore, if the dairy
man cannot sweeten his soil by an ap-
~plication of limestone he must grow
those legumes which tolerate an acid
soil.
Lespedeza does this and it takes a
high rank among the legumes. Mr..
Arey says it will furnish an abundance
of grazing of a high protein content
during July, August and September
when grass pastures are drying up and
furnishing little nourishing feed. The
four lespedeza varieties commonly
grown in North Carolina are the COM
mon, Korean, Kobe and Tennessee Is.
