using force. An approved liquid
laxative Zone which is most widely
used for both adults and children)
is syrup pepsin. DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is a prescription, and
is perfectly safe. Its laxative action
is based on senna-a natural laxa-
tive. The bowels will not become
dependent on this form of help, as
in the case of mineral drugs.
Hospitals and doctors have al
ways used liquid laxatives. The
dose can be measured, and the
action controlled. Pills and tablets
containing drugs of violent action
are hard on the bowels.
If there r children in your
household, don't give them anylad
form of laxative, but use a health
full, helpful preparation like syrup
pepsin. Its very taste will tell you
it is wholesome, and agreeable to
the stomach. Delightful taste, and
delightful action; there is no dis
comfort at the time, or after. Ask
your druggist for DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, all ready to take.

Quality OF Cotton
Declined This Season

For the first time since 1928,
cotton growers of North Carolina
this season failed to record ar i'm
provement in the quality of staple
produced. This was due largely
to the planting of shorter staple va
%rieties, mixing seed of the longer
staple varieties, and unfavorable
weather conditions during harvest.
1.-The staple Of North Carolina
cotton this season is but little bet
ter than that of the crop of 1884,"
says Glenn R. Smith, research as
sistant of the department of agri-
cultural economics at State College.
Figures secured from the United
States Department Of Agriculture
show that 43.2 per cent Of the cot
ton ginned in this State up to
October 26 was less than 1916
inch staple, while only 29.2 per
cent of the corn ginned up to
October % Of last year was this
short. The percentage of the IS
16 cotton is about the same as last
season while the percentage of the
shorter staple lengths increased"
Smith has made a careful analy-
sis of the data secured and says the
decrease in cotton of one inch and
better is general throughout the
state. In many communities farm
RS have labored hard and long to
build a reputation for their cotton
and as a result there has been an in
creased demand for North Carolina
cotton by North Carolina textile
mills. Under no circumstances
should the growers lose the advan-
tage o
Nc grower should permit pres
emf circumstances and adjustment
programs to cause him to let down
in the quality of the cotton being
grown. Local buyers and ginners
should also cooperate with growers
to encourage better grade and
staple. Smith says one of the
greatest handicaps facing farmers in
producing a high quality of cotton
is the practice of buyers paying the
same price for all staple lengths.

.orn-And-Hog Program Is Now In Effect
All Legume
Seed Will
Be Scarce

Indications are now that legume
seed of all kinds for planting next
spring will be scarce and higher in
price.
The regulations Of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration
require that all land contracted to
be removed from the cultivation of
crops under adjustment cannot be
planted to competing cash crops.
About the only thing these acres
may be used for is soil-improving
or erosion-preventing crops. Food
and feed crops for home use may
be grown but feed crops used for
fatrening hogs for sale may not be
planted. In other words. the con-
traceed acreage cannot be used in
whole or in part for the production,
directly or indirectly, for sale Of
any nationally produced and dis
tributed agricultural product dur
ing the time of the contract.
Wherefore" says Enos c. Blair,
extension agronomist at State Col
lege, growers had best look to
saving a good supply of all kinds
Of legume seed. In the eastern
part of the State where velvet
beans are grown, farmers would do
we'll to save enough seed for their
own requirements. This can be
done with little trouble. After
frost, the seed pods may be picked
by hand. Get only those which
are mature. This is rather rapid
work as a whole cluster Of pods
may be gathered at a time
Mr.. Blair suggests that the bean
pods be placed On a floor and al
lowed to dry out. In April, when
the day.. are warm, spread the beans

A processing tax of 20 cents per
bushel on all corn to be processed
commercially became effective on
November 5. the same time as the
hog processing tax, according to
announcement Of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, which
has also provided for making loans

While the corn-hog program is
designed especially for the corn
hog areas its provisions may be
accepted BY any farmer anywhere
IN the United States. Final details
are being presented to the corn

Loans on the corn warehoused
on farms will bear four per cent in

This means that the actual loan
value for a farmer will depend on

CHICKENS NEED VITAMINS

CHICKENS NEED VII AMINO
During fall and winter special
thought must Be given to vitamins
by the poultry keeper. If the "a
ton is deficient in any of the vita
minis needed by poultry, poor egg
production is certain to result.
The present list of known vita
minis includes: A.. B, c, D, E, and
G.
Vifamin A-Nutritional rlup is
the usual symptom associated with
vitamin A deficiency. This disease
resembles common roup, but diff
ters in certain respects and is not
infectious. There is danger of it
when yellow corn (Which is a good
source of vitamin Az is completely
replaced by white corn, o wheat,
barley or oatmeals. unless such
foods as cod-liver oil, alfalfa meal,
yellow corn or green corn feeds are
added in sufficient amounts. Any
ration containing so of deny
drafted Alfalfa leaf meal, usually con-
.talns enough vitamin A to prevent
the deficiency disease. Cod-liver
oil is one of the most potent sources
of this vitamin.
Vitamin B-Certain nervous dis
orders and also a loss of weight and
vigor, constipation, and even star
walton and death may result from
"a lack of vitamin B. However,
this vitamin is carried by wheat,
corn. wheat middlings, wheat bran,
hominy food and skim milk. As
most laying rations contain con-
siderable amounts of these grains
and grain by-products, special vita
min B feeds rarely, if ever, need to
to be given.
Vitamin Cit is probable that
Wit. min c is not needed by poultry
although it is essential for human
beings. 1t is contained in ample
amounts in cabbage, lettuce, and
green alfalfa.
Vitamin D-Vitamin D aids in
normal bone development and pre-
vents rachitic leg weakness. A
deficiency of it will lower winter
egg production. Cod-liver oil is
the most commonly used source of
this vitamin. Other sources are
direct sunlight mot through COM
mon glass which absorbs the eff
fective rays), ultraviolet irradia-
ton, and some fish oils.
Oils used in poultry feeding vary
greatly in their vitamin D potency
Biologically tested. fortified cod
liver Gil is preferred because its
high and known vitamin D po-
teney insures complete protection.
Vitamin E-Vitamin E is the
antisterility vitamin. Hens fed on
rations deficient in its lay eggs that
hatch poorly. 1t is contained in
most substances fed to poultry SO
that little attention need be paid
to this factor except under very
unusual circumstances.
Vitamin G-Vitamin G is essen
tial to growth and the prevention
of pellagra. 1t is ordinarily sup
piled in sufficient amounts in ra-
tons containing dried skim milk,
dried buttermilk, dried wheat, cot
ton seed and cotton seed meal, al

Qualifying rounds in a golf
tournament to be played at the

club for the Rotary cup will be
played on Sunday and matches in
the tournament will be played
next week.
Play will be open to any anna

Rotary club in 1928 and was won
in the first tournament by J. S.
Williams. In 1929 the cup was
won by DR.. w. Z. Bracket and
has not been played for since that
year.
A number of outstanding local
and visiting golfers have signified

tournament and a good field is

The proposition now facing the
people of our valley is one invOlv-
ing possible extension of Federal
interest completely overshadowing
all other interests. The Tennessee
plan carries with it certain inn
plications involving each commu-
nifty in the whole Tennessee water
shed in which national influence
over private lives and fortunes
may be exerted as never before in
American history, except in Re
construction days after the civil
war. If this situation develops to
the extent that many of the ad-
vocates of the Tennessee plan de-
sire, it means that the policy Of
the Federal government will work
veal or woe to the inhabitants of
our valley. 1t presents case Of
the highest Importance for early

four governmental agencies, our

of a sufficient powerful and ade-
quately wise central planning au-
thority to effect some needed pur-
poses has become increasingly APP
rarent as America has filled up

vanished, as the completely OF her

farmer who would like to irrigate
his fields cannot do so because his
neighbors has a strangle-hold on

Another cannot drain a swamp
because another neighbor refuses
to afford him an outlet. Manu-
facturers use streams for their

claim damage their business or

of order out of the weller of con-
