Batting Weakness Stirs Griff.

a LTHOUGH the Nationals have not
IA had much batting practice since
leaving the Biloxi camp and
their hitting in the exhibitions has
been nothing to boast of, Harris looks
for them to swing into good clouting
stride at any time There is too
much latent power in the Washington
lineup to fear the club will not be
strong in attack" the manager point
ed out.
The clubs failure to hit we'll in the
training tussles has Prexy Griffith a
trifle nettled. They should be
ashamed of themselves" he observed
disgustedly. why they haven't been
hitting can't understand Although
they have been in few games recently,
they have had more batting practice
than any other club that went South.
Never before did we have at camp
as many pitchers to use in batting
drills and never before did a Wash
ington ball club get so much batting
practice. I'm sure they'll hit in the
season, but they ought to have been
hitting all along"
Griffths wrath, though, Is not
likely to inspire the Nationals to
greater and more productive effort
at bat. What they need is something
they have been unable to do the
greater part of the last two weeks
to swing at pitches that are puzzlers.
Only fair break in weather will give
them that opportunity.
Workout Under Stands.
Using the tunnel under the grand
stand, the Nationals got an
hours workout yesterday short
1y after they reached home The
pitchers shook the mold off their arms
and all hands engaged in a pepper
drill. The entire squad was at the
ball park early this morning.
Tomorrow the Brooklyn band will
be here to open a two-game series.
The Phillies and the Albany Ints will
follow the Dodgers then the Nationals
will go to Newark Sunday to get their

HOG PRICES HIT
HIGHEST PRICE
IN SIX YEARS

Hog prices in the nations principal
livestock market were at the highest
level in Chicago last week since
August Is, 1929, with receipts half
Of normal and slaughter the lowest
in more than 80 years.
Top hogs were bid up 10 cents to
SLIPS per hundredweight, represent
ing the FARMS direct price plus mar
keting charges. For packers who in
clude the 1925 per hundredweight
processing tax in figuring operating
costs, this cost aggregated peak of
$14.5O, highest in almost decade.
Producers cooperating under the
AAA corn-hog progam receive bene-
fit payments from the tax fund in
addition to the cash price for hogs
at market.
Receipts of hogs last Wednesday
were only 5000. Market observers
estimated receipts here and else
where throughout the corn belt have
been running so per cent below
normal.
A more accurate check on the
scarcity of hogs, resulting in high
prices, was seen in the government
tabulated slaughter figures for Au-
gust, indicating the hog kill in all
federally inspected plants was only
1867 $40, a million head under Au-
gust, 1884.
Meat counter pork prices in Chi
cago have Jagged behind the recent
bulge in the live market. With the
top for hogs 5 cents above the previ-
Gus 1885 peak touched twice in the
last month, wholesale pork was
around cents or more per pound
below recent top figures. Best light
loins sold at wholesale at rs to q
cents, with the market steady to
higher.

FARM AND GARDEN

Answer: Skim milk or buttermilk
may be substituted for dried milk at
the rate of one gallon of milk to each
100 birds. Where as much as three
gallons of the skim milk Or butter
milk is fed to each 100 birds a day
this will take the place of all the dried
milk, one-half the first meal, and one
half the meat meal as recommended.
The success of these substitutions de-
pend upon the regular feeding of the
milk and unless there is an ample
supply so as to make regular feelings
no substitutions should be made.
Question:-When is the best time
to sow crimson clover for soil inn
provement?
Answer:-This depends on the Sec
ton of the State but as general
rule the best time to sow in the
mountain section is from Aug. Is to
September Is. In the Piedmont the
seed should be put in between Sep
TENDER 1 and 30. From September Is
to October Is is the best time for
planting in the Coastal Plain section.
Where the seed are planted in the
hull they should be put in one month
earlier than the dates given. Where
the soil is not inoculated for legumes
this should be done by mixing the
seed for one acre with two to three
hundred pounds of soil from a field
known to be inoculated. The seed and
soil are then sown with a grain drill
or by hand.
Question: Is it profitable to feed
moist mash to poultry through the
entire year?
Answer: There is very little to be
gained by this practice. However, the
moist mash has an important
place in the feeding at some time
during the year. It is used to stimu-
late egg production and is fed the
early Matched pullets to prevent a
partial or complete molt. 1t also
hastens production in the fall of the
late Matched pullets and keeps up
production of the laying hens through
the fall months. Feed about three
pounds Of the mash to each 100 birds
for best results.

DoUGHToN FAMILY REUNION

y
Sparta, Sept. members of the
Doughton family gathered at the
home of former Governor r. A.
Doughton recently fA reunion.
Members of the immediate family
present were the three living broth
ers, former Governor R. A. Doughton.
Congressman r. L. Doughton and
w. F. Doughton, and Mesdames F.

seventy persons present enjoyed the
hospitality of former Governor and
Mrs. Doughton at an old-fashioned
Southern dinner.
After luncheon, Judge J. C. Pad
gett, OF Independence, Va, addressed

of the notable achievements of these
bearers of the Doughton name. The
judge is gifted after-dinner sneak
er and did the occasion ample Justice.
DIR. G. A. Martin, pastor of most of
the family, was called upon for an
expression and spoke feelingly and
tenderly of the mother "of these
giants" who lived to be almost nine
ty-six years old before she passed
away about year ago. The pastor
spoke of the gathering as the "home-
coming of the giants Giants physi-
cally as BELTS a race grown great in
the top of the Blue Ridge. Giants
morally as becomes worthy descen-
dants of noble ancestors. Giants men
tally by reason of which they stand
in the front rank of the best men.
Giants spiritually because of the evil
dences of Gods handiwork as seen
in the towering peaks and the nearby
stars at night"
The occasion was brought to a hap
py close with fitting words by the
two distinguished brothers, Rufus A.
and Robert L., both of whom are near
idols to a great host of good and
sensible people.

Timely Farm Question Answered at
State College

Timely Farm Question Answered II
State College
Question: Is there any objection to
putting poultry scratch feed in the
litter?
Answer: This practice is unsani-
tary and dangerous to the flock from
health standpoint. The little in the
poultry houses, as general rule, is
not changed as often as necessary
and thus becomes soiled with the
droppings. AS this mixture of litter
and droppings increase the danger
from many poultry diseases also in
crease. Worm eggs and other internal
parasites are picked up with the
scratch feed together with disease
germs and the result is an unhealthy
and low producing flock.
Question: How should feed a cow
that is going dry?
Answer: Only enough concentrates
should be fed the dry cow to keep
her in good flesh. During the winter
months no better ration can be had
than legume hay and corn silage to-
gether with three to five pounds of a
ration containing around sixteen per-
cent protein. A formula for figuring
the protein content of all dairy feeds
together with recommendations for
feeding mixtures is contained in Ex-
tension Circular 1913, and copies may
be secured free upon appreciation to
the Agricultural Editor, State Col
lege.
Question: When is the best time to
cut lespedeza for seed?
Answer: The Korean variety should
be cut about the first of October and
the other varieties just after the first
hard frost After being left in the
barn for few weeks the Korean
seed is threshed on a grain separator.
Seed from the other varieties are
harvested with seed pan attached
to the cutter bar Of a moving ma
chine. Plans for building seed pan
may be secured free by writing the
Editor, State College.
Question: How big a trench silo
should l dig to handle silage for IL
cows?
Answer: This depends upon how
long your animals are to be fed. The
average cow will consume about one
cubic foot of silage each day. A slice
of silage from three to five inches
thick beginning at the top and going
to the bottom should be fed daily to
prevent spoilage. The suggested d.
mansions for a silo to take care of
IL cows is z feet wide at top, feet
wide at bottom, and 6 feet deep. For
a 100 day feeding period the silo
should be 60 feet long. For a longer
feeding period the length should be
increased rather than the width or
depth.
Question: Can l substitute skim
or buttermilk for any of the ingredi-
ents in your recommended State Lay
ing mash fomula?

Prison Population i1s
State ShOlUs Increase
During Past Month
Negro Criminals Decrease with More
Education but Whites Do Not
According TO Figures

Raleigh, Sept. 13.-North Carolina
had 8,205 prisoners on hand Septem-
bvI :, an increase from 8,074 On Au-
gust /, 1885.
There were 3,471 white males and
80 females, and 4,470 negro males
and 101 females in this prison poula-
ton. During August there were tbs
whites and $50 black received from
the CO.. S, nine whites and one black
parole. 0 whites and Al blacks who
he'd esca. ID were recaptured, three
whites and two negroes were taken
from other institutions, and for the
whole month 1854 prisoners were
handled by the state.
There were SIT whites and 800 ne
groes, or 1857 released at expiration
Of terms, 81 whites and five negroes
paroled, 48 whites and SO negroes, or
IS es apes, one parole was rescinded
and the offender was white, two
whites and four negroes died, three
whites and four negroes were trans
ferred to other prisons, Ia whites and
II Hacks wee released by court order.
The total released during the month.
There were left then fo- September
1, 1855, exactly 8,2O5, of whom 1861
white males and 80 females, and 4,51O
negro males and 1O2 females. Tempo
rary paroles were given to IA whites
and one black. During August, 451
30-day prisoners were leased and 542
30-day prisoners received.
The escapes and recaptures are in
teresting. The state got back II of
the sc who wa led off. Though the
whites number nearly 1000 under the ,
blacks, there were 48 whites who ran
aw&y and only 38 negroes. The state
recovered Al negro truants though !
only 80 actually went away in Au-
gust. The discrepancy merely means i
that three of these Al and maybe |
more had gone off at some other !
time. On the other hand, only 40 of
the 48 whites who broke camp were
returned.
It would appear, therefore, that the
whites have better luck at escaping
tfe premises and staying escaped
after they got away. That may also
explain why there are 1000 more ne
grces in prison than there are whites.
The blacks have not mastered the
technic of getting away with their /
crimes.
But the figures show something /
else more disturbing. AS the negroes |;
improve their school facilities their
crime ratio decreases, but the whites !
increase their percentage of offenses.
The negro few decades ago furnish
ed more than IS per cent of the crime
and the criminals. The ration now is |
nearer SIS to As. The paroles go more
frequently to the blacks and revoca-
lions are much more often applied to
the whites.
Incidentally, the so days prisoners
give great concern to the state which
gets little work from them because
most of their time is spent harden
ing them for labor by which time
their days of ministations ae accom-
plished.
