Lespedeza Again Proves
It's Worth

Lespedeza has scored one of its
greatest successes as a soil builder
on the farm of Charles A. Mccall in
Mcdowell County.
A one-year crop of lespedeza, plow-
ed under last fall, gave the biggest
increase in corn yield this year that
has ever been witnessed by E. G..
Blair, extension agronomist at State
College.
In 1884, Mccall sowed lespedeza on
his wheat field and allowed it to grow
through the summer. Both weeds and
lespedeza were plowed under in the
fall.
This year he planted corn on the
field, with. the rows running from the
1espedeza area into a section where
only weeds had grown. No fertilizer

Biography Tells of
Lindbergh's Love
Chance Meeting of Famous Couple
Took Place in Mexico
City in 1927

Americas No. romance-that OF
Anne Morrow and Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh- began by chance, it is
disclosed in Harold Nicholson's biog-
raphy Of Dwight Morrow, published
last week.
The two might never have met had
not the late Ambassador Morrow, by
merest chance, been staying at the
temporary White House on DUPONT
circule, in Washington, the June that
Lindbergh returned from his immor-
tai Paris flight.
Before leaving the United States"
writes Nicholson, Morrow suggested
to this famous aviator that. q flight
to Mexico City would be both inter-
esting and useful"
Lindberghs was enthusiastic, but
overruled Morrow's suggestion that
the flight be made by short and tri-
umphant stages, and took off Deem
Der IL, 1927, from Washington. The
official welcoming party, including
President Gales, sat waiting in the
hot sun from $3.50 a. m. until 2:44.
p. m.
In her own diary, Mrs. Morrow de-
scribes the "indescribable" welcome
by the throngs at the field and Lind
bergh's departure to the embassy in
the Morrow car. @
"He had soup and bath while the
staff had buffet lunch. We all drank
to him in champagne. We left
him sleeping tonight as we went to
the University club dinner for Will
Rogers"
Thus did Lindbergh meet "the
family"
The last reunion of the entire Nor
row family was July a, 1881, at
Englewood, N. j.
Call the family and only the fami-
ly," wrote Mrs. Morrow in her diary.
II wonder when that will happen
again."
Underneath this entry" writes
Nicholson in his biography, "the
word never has been inserted. Mr..
Morrow died October 5, 1881, in time
to escape the horror which befell the
! family March 1 of the next year."

Timely Farm Questions Answered at
State College

Timely Farm Questions Answered at
State College
Question: How can keep my cows
from eating dirt and chewing fence
rails?
Answer: This is a sure sign that
the animals are not getting sufficient
minerals in the ration. Check the "a
ton and add the minerals that are
deficient. 1t legume hays, such as
cow pea, soybean, clover and alfalfa
is being fed, this will usually supply
the needed amount of calcium. If the
ration contains as much as thirty
percent of feeds rich in phosphorus,
such as wheat bran, cottonseed meal
and soybean: meal, there should be a
sufficient amount Of this mineral. See
that both minerals are in the ration.
It will not do any harm to allow the
animals free access to a mixture con-
tanning one part of salt and four
parts of steamed bone meal.
Question: How can renew an old,
run down pasture?
Answer: Cut down all weeds and
shrubbery; and scratch the. soil to a
dept of about two inches. Use a
heavy, spike tooth harrow for, this
work, or it may be done with a disc
harrow if: the disc is set almost
straight so. as not to destroy the old
sod. The fertilizer is applied as soon
as the ground is scratched. Reseed
the land with selected mixture of seed.
IF the old pasture is badly infested
with obnoxious weeds it would be best
to- break the land and grow some crop
before reseeding.

FARM AND GARDEN
Fall Care of Calves

The success of growing cattle de-
ponds to a large extent upon the feed
and care given calves from the start,
especially after weaving. This, to-
gether with the proper meeting, is
most important. Theecalf that makes
a good continuous growth from the
time of birth until it is sold, is the
one that makes the most profit, be-
cause the cheapest and most rapid
gains are made during the first year
or eighteen months of the animals
life. The older the animal the more it
costs for each pound gained. It never
pays to half starve young cattle. The
so-called, cheapest way of trying to
winter calves through on poor quality
hay or fodder without any grain in
addition, is usually the most expen-
sive way in the end-after deducting
tie loses.
ffter weaving, the calf should re-
ceive about one-half pound daily of
MIXTURE of equal parts of corn, oats
Or bran. The amount of grain should
be increased gradually as the pas
res fail in the fall, so tina t the
Young animal will be in thrifty con-
dition, when winter comes and will go
on dry feed without any trouble. The
winter ration should consist princi-
pally of good roughages such as Glow
er. soy beans, Or alfalfa hay, or sill
age, but some grain should be given
to keep the calves growing, and in a
thrifty condition. Sufficient protein
must be supplied, because protein is
tie part of the feed used by the ami
NAL in building the bone, muscles,
lair, hide and other, body tissues.
Sch roughages as marsh hay, timo-
thy, fodder and straw, when fed alone,
are very deficient in protein and lime,
and must be balanced with legume
la. S ard corn, and some protein
concentrates, such as cottonseed or
linseed meal to give the young ami
NAL a properly balanced ration.
The man who thinks lie is saving
money by half feeding and caring for
his calves, yearlings, Or older cattle
is only fooling himself.
: Start now to grain your calves,
while on fall pasture; do not wait UNI
til winter comes. Most of the losses
from scours, lung worm, and other
ailments can be prevented, if the
calves are properly fed in the fall,
and are, thereforeh in, good strong
condition to go through the winter.
Lice: Most calves are rather heavi-
ly infested with lice during the fall,
so inspect your calves for lice at
once, and treat them, if they need it.
During warm weather, the calves
may be dipped, washed or sprayed
with regular sheep dip solution-be
sure to follow directions on the con-
tainer, so as to have the dip of the
proper strength. During cold weather
apply the following mixture with a
brush to the most affected parts, as
around the nose and eyes, throat, and
brisket, ETC., parts raw linseed oil,
I part kerosene.

FARM AND GARDEN
or manure was applied, but the corr

OF naNurS was appAiSuS Dut the cOrn
was cultivated well.
On the two areas there was so
much difference in the corn that j.
Gordon Blake, county agent, measur-
ed the yields. On the area where no
lespedeza had grown, the yield was
24.8 bushels to the acre. Where les
pedeza had been plowed under, the
yield was 59.4 bushels.
Since both areas were cultivated
alike, Blair stated that the increased
yield of 34.6 bushels per acre may
be attributed directly to the lespe-
deza.
McCall's farm is in valley at the
foot of the Blue Ridge mountains, in
region that until a few years ago
had been considered too cold for les
pedeza.
He has used lespedeza regularly in
three-year4 rotation of corn, soy
bans, wheat, and lespedeza. Others in
even higher altituds also have gotten
good results, Blair stated.
October Is Time to Plant
F.ower Bulbs
Flower bulbs which are to blossom
in the spring, such as tulips, hya-
cinths,- narcissi, and grape hyacinths,
may be planted in October, as late
as mid November in eastern North
Carolina.
The ideal soil does not pack, is
crumbly and moist, yet well drained,
said Glenn o. Randall, professor of
Horticulture at N. C. State College.
When preparing to plant bulbs,
pillow the soil to depth of 10 inches,
then pulverize it thoroughly, he re-
commended.
Stable manure, thoroughly decayed,
: a good fertilizer. If decayed man.
ure is unavailable, bone meal may be
:sed, or a complete fertilizer con-
tanning to per cent nitrogen, 8
to 10 per cent phosphorus, and a to
6 per cent potash. ......
A good way to plant bulbs, when
they are to be set in clumps or in
teds, is to remove the upper four
inches of soil, set the bulbs the desir-
ed distance apart, and then cover
them with the soil that was removed.
When planting a large area, the
soil may first be removed from a
space about 3 by 5 feet in size, the
bulbs placed in position, then covered
from soil removed from an adjoining |
area.
This opens up the adjoining area,
where bulbs may be set and covered
with soil from an area just beyond.
This process may be followed until
the entire lot is planted.
In all cases, Randall stressed, ap-
ply the fertilizer and carefully pre-
pare the soil before setting out the
bulbs.

Question: Can I expect heavy egg
production from cross bred birds?
Answer: Where we'll bred stock is
used on the first cross the cross-bred
birds will do well in the first genera
ton. There is usually an increase in
vigor and egg production in the first
cross, but further crossing usually
has the opposite effects. The birds
fall off in production, are more SUBJ
ject to disease, and show loss in
vigor and Inability. In the long run,
it is best to sell all first generation
crosses after one year and start again
with baby chicks.

Recent tests of a multi-motored
flying boat demonstrated this point
very clearly. With the engines and

about SO miles an hour. With the
engines off, and the props held sta

r LEARNED something new the
l. other day about brakes for pro-
pellers.
It seems that the necessity for
propeller brakes is much greater
when the engines are mounted in
the entering edges of the wings.
In such cases, the propeller blast,
or slipstream, sweeping back over
the wings creates a considerable
part of the total lift that sustains
a ship in the air. And where there
are four big engines strung along
the wing, as there are on some of
the big flying boats, you can see
that practically the greater part OF
the wing, or lift surface, it affected.
While the propellers are running
at cruising speed, the slipstream is
strong enough to develop sufficient
lifting force. But when the props are
idling, the wings are deprived of the
strong blast of air and-as may be
expected-they can not develop as
much lift.
In this case, the ship must be
glided at a sleeper angle and at a
higher rate of speed so that enough
lift can be developed and if this

MOONEY VICTIM
OF 'FRAMEUP.'
BILLINGS SAYS
Offered $4,000 Bride to
Help State, Convict
TeStifies.

By United Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 27. -
Warren K. Billings, a quiet little
man who looks and dresses like a
bank clerk, comes back to the wit
ness stand today to finish his story
of an alleged frameup that sent
him and Tom Mooney to prison for
life.
His story points finger at a
dead man, the late Martin Swanson,
one-time special investigator for a
powerful public utilities concern and
later, after the Mooney and Billings
trials, attached to the Office of the
San Francisco district attorney who
prosecuted the pair for the Pre-
paredness Day bombings in 1916.
Billings charged that Swanson,
promising to help the former shoe
maker and labor radical obtain en-
ployment, asked him to help convict
Mooney on charges of dynamiting
Pacific Gas and Electric wire
towers.
Arrested in Hospital
The request was made July Is,
1916, four days before the bomb ex-
plosion which burst in the midst
Of patriotic demonstration and
killed 10 persons.
Billings testified he stalled" the
detective and meeting him several
days later denounced him. On July
26, when Billings was in a San
Francisco hospital, Swanson and
police arrested him on charges of
participating in the dynamiting.
After my arrest Swanson was
present whenever I was questioned
and prompted the police on what to
ask me-" Billings testified before
Referee A. E. Shaw, representing
the Supreme Court of California.
Offered $4,000, Freedom
"At one time he came to my cell
and made me a proposition that if
I would do what they wanted he
would see that I was released and
given between $4,000 and $4,000"
1t was the second mention of an
alleged bride in the proceedings by
which Mooney hopes to obtain his
freedom. Israel Weinberg, Cleve-
land manufacturer who was a taxi
driver in San Francisco 10 years ago,
said a mysterious Nathan Farber,
cleaning to represent the district
attorneys office, offered him $4,000
to aid in prosecuting Mooney.
Billings left the stand with his
story unfinished. He will be cross
examined by William Cleary, deputy
attorney general representing the
state in opposing the habeas corpus
action.
