New Strain Of Lespedeza Will
Make Livestock Activities for
The Southern States Profitable
Tennessee Agriculture Expert Saws Lespedeza Serlces
"Will Revolutionize" Agriculture in the
South Completely

to express the belief that with
in a few years. as soon as the
seed are available in sufficient
quantities. lespedeza sericea is
going to be the most generally
grown forage crop in the south
and the most valuable. Mean
while an outstanding opportun-
ity is offered progressive farm
ers in every southern comman-
ity while prices of seed continu"
high, to produce seed for their
community and make. some real
money by taking the initiative,
getting in on the ground floor,
and rendering this outstanding
service to their communities.
Quite a number Of growers dut-
ing the past year did just this.
The growing of sericea soon
promises to be quite profitable
during the next two or three
years, after which sericea seed
will probably be on about RI"
same basis as alfalfa, sweet
clover. red clover and .ofdlnarS
lespedcza seed. 90.
Meanwhile in developing 4
real livestock program in The
south the annual leSpedezaS,
Austrian peas, vetch ard other
forage crops have their. places
also. The improved varieties Of
annual lespedezas will continue
to- be used on grain Tor pasture,
hay and soil improving. Aus
TRAN peas and vetch will con-
tinue, to be used as winter
legumes for hay and for soil i'm
proving. These crops will. in"
crease in value as our livestock
program is .developed-brt the
backbone of livestock production
in the south is going to be
lespedcza sericea.

RALEIGH. March 2.--Despite
the fact that the senate game
committee has worked four weeks
over the Ingram game bill, and
the measure has already passed
second reading in the senate, it
is considered virtually certain
that it will be defeated when it
comes up for a third reading.
The new set.up of .administra-
ton of the game laws has sew
eral features which meet with
general approval, but as a whole
it is interpreted as purely an at
tempt to wreck the department
of, conservation and develop.
ment. Senator Ingram, author
of the bill which was based in
part on subcommittee bill, has
been particularly active in get
ting behind legislation aimed az
the department. =.
The bill abolishes the office of
state game warden. fish warden
and state forester, and creates
q new warden to take over all
duties at a salary of $4,000 a
year! The new commissioner,
who would be elected by the
board of , conservation, which
now has charge Of .administra-
ten of the, states game and fish
laws. The members of this board,
who all serve. without any com.
pensation, consist Of leading
sportsmen of the state who have
long been familiar with the field.
Z While the consolidation pro-
posals gives the bill the. aspect
of an economy measure, the dan
gerous part Of the Randolph SEN
ator's plan, according to its OPP
ponents, is that it cuts the cost
of licenses to the point that it
would virtually wreck the depart
ment Of conservation and de.
relopment. which gets the larger
part Of its revenu, from this
source. The Ingram bill leaves
the county resident licenses at
the present rate 81. but cuts the
statewide license from SO to 81,
and the nonresident license
from $685. to $40.

By KOPE ELIAS

Meeklenburg County Farm Agent
1t has been 4 common saying
heretofore that the south could
not compete with other sections
in meat production and dairylng
and livestock activities In gen
eral. because we could not gro"
the forage which constitutes the
foundation of livestock activ'-
ties. That saying was more or
less true at one time and the
mid-western states and other sec
tions where alfalfa thrived and
the land was rich had a decided
advantage in the prosecution OF
all sorts of livestock activities.
No longer is there truth IN
this saying. The handicap under
which the south has labored IN
the matter of livestock produc-
ton has definitely been remoV-
ed by the recent introduction
and development Of one crop,
lespedeza sericea, the perennial
type of lespedeza which so con-
Sentative an agronomist as Di-
rector c. A. MoorcS of the Ten.
nesSee experiment station de-
clared:
This crop is going to effect
a complete revelation in south
ern agriculture"
It is a recognized fact among
business men and economists that
the largest measure of prosper
itv for the south must come
through radical REIMBURSEMENT
in our agricultural policy. The
people of the two Carolinas alone
are annually importing 20 mil
lion pounds of cheese, probably
more than. 80 million pounds OF
butter, and such an enormous
quantity of meats that the
freight bill alone is $5,0OO,OOO
a year. This money kept at
home would not only bring a
new measure of prosperity TO
our farmers but also to the bust
ness men in our urban commun-
tiles and to our people in gen.
eral.
Ample forage is the foundation
of all livestock activities. The
normal prosperity of many west
ern states is founded on the one
crop-alfalfa. 1t has now been
leonclusively demonstrated that
in the sensational new crop, les
pedeza sericea, the south has a
crop which will do for agricul-
ture in this section what alfalfa
has done in the middle west.
Lespedeba sericea will grow on
the acid soils of the south with
out heavy and expensive applica-
tions of limestone and fertilizers.
1t has a wonderful root system
and is a voracious feeder and
makes a surprising growth even
on very ordinary soilS-solls that
would not produce alfalfa or RED
clover at ali. At the Tennessee
experiment station last veal
three cuttings of hay with al
average of approximately two
tons per cutting were made from
sericea.- One has to use hi:
imagination to get an idea o.
what a forage crop which vii
WELD four to six tons and more
Of hay per acre will mean to The
south agriculturally.

observed scricea do not hesitate

THE PASSING OF
 TOWN SCHOOLS
System Will Soon Be But a Memory in This
 City
ORONOKE COMING IN

By degrees, the town school dis tricts of Waterbury are seeing the advantage of coming under direct supervision of the board of educa- ton. It took a long time to bring some of them to this view of the case. When this matter first came up years ago there was 0 strong protest from all the town school districts. Many will remember the communications written on the subject by the late David c. Porter, who contended that the town school system represented all that was best in our American plan of education and to do away with 1t would not be for the best interests of tho young people of tho United States. The late Judge Cowell also held to this view, and remarked when 1t was proposed to abloish the old district committee, that 1t meant putting the schools in the same position as other city boards, where they would be open to po- litical influences which would not operate for the good of the school system.
 But these predictions did not come true, and in time practically all the town schools came in to the full taxation district on their own motion. Last night the Oron- oke school district at special meeting voted to petition the alder men to fix a date when the district may vote on the question, the gen. erai sentiment being in favor of the change. A petition to this effect will be filed with the aldermen, and 1t is believed 1t will be acted upon favorably. With the Oronoke district in the full tax ation district, there will be but one district, Park road. on the outside. East Mountain is still on the out side,. but 1t is believed that this matter will be settled soon by the general assembly, and that East Mountain will be on the inside at the close of the present school year.
