Quarters for the penguins were

the expedition. A tank was built in
the floor and the most efficient type
of refrigerating equipment installed
to keep both the air and salt water
at low temperatures. To keep out

said L. I. Case, animal husband
man at State College.
This practice results in calve;
being dropped at all seasons. Late
summer and fall calving is bad for
both the cows and their offspring.
Case points out.
Usually cows which have to
nurse calves during the winter are
kept in poor condition, and the
calves fail to make good growth.
Death losses of COWS and calves are
increased.
Case further stated that calves
which do not get good growth
early in life seldom develop into
high grade animals. Spring seems
to be the most favorable calving
season for beef cattle.
Records have shown that spring
calves gained an average of 271.5
pounds from May l to November
1, while fall calves gained only
1895 pounds in the same length of
time.
At the Blackland experiment
station, Wenona, N. c., the bull is
allowed to run with the herd only
in May, June, and July. The
calves are dropped the following
February, March, and April. They
are weaned in November and vino
cred separately from the rest Of the
herd.
This practice appears to give the
best results, Case pointed out, and
it may be followed on practically
all North Carolina farms.

Raleigh" Informal assurance"
has been given that the Federal
government will provide up to As

Senator Lee Gravely announc-
ed from his home in Rocky Mount.
Such a Federal grant would as
sure more than $45O,0oO for the
plant, Gravely indicated.
The 1885 Legislature authorized
s250,OOO bond issue for the sana-
torium, and the Federal govern
ment not only is willing to lend the
State the $25O,ooo at three per

probably this week in Raleigh.
Kemp Battle of Rocky Mount heads
the committee. Other members
are DR.. Isaiah Fearing Of Eliza

for six months.

Question-How can cabbage and
collard worms be controlled?
Answer-These pests can be
easily controlled by busting with
rotenone. The material may also
be used as spray but dusting
gives better results. Apply from
IS to 20 pounds of the chemical to
the acre, depending upon the size
o fthe plant and the rate of infesta-
ton. Rotenone is nonpoisonous
and may be used at any time dur
ing the growing season. Second
and third applications are some
times necessary for complete con-
troll of the worms.

TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
ANSWERED AT
STATE COLLEGE

Question-What percent Of old
hens should be carried over for lay
ers next year?
Answer-From the standpoint of
commercial egg production it
would be we'll to carry only pullets
as layers. However, the increase
in egg size of the hen over the pull
let egg size should be considered
where there is a specialized market
demand for large eggs. The only
way to arrive at the number of
hens to carry over is to watch the
flock very carefully and keep only
those hens that moult early and
are heavy producers.
Question-In planning to save
feed for next winter, how much
hay and silage should be provided
for each COW?
Answer-A mature COW will
need from one and one-half tons
of legume hay and three tons of
silage for six month feeding per-
iod. When hay is fed alone two
and one-half tons should be pro-
vided but a combination of hay
and silage is much preferred. Silage
furnishes succulence which is very
much needed in the winter ration.
1t is also the cheapest feed grown
on the farm as one acre of good
corn or sorghum will produce
enough silage to feed three cows

DMexican Peso Faces
DevaIuation as U. S. Acts

NEW YORK, April Is G.N.SO.
Devaluation of the Mexican peso
recognized standard for silver
countries throughout the world
was seen today in financial circles
as a result of President Roose-
velt's action boosting the price OF
domestic silver from Till to 7757
cents an ounce.
Otherwise it was. believed mil
lions of dollars worth of Mexican
coins might be bootlegged across
the border and melted down,
despite the stipulation that the
higher price would apply only to
silver mined in America on and
after today.
Probable devaluation was voiced
by Mexican Consul General Edu-
ardo Villasenor. who said only
two avenues of prevention are
open to his country, and of them,
one-recalling of all silver coins
is virtually impossible. He said:
'PrObably the only means left
for Mexico to keep its silver in
the country is to devaluate the
peso, in terms of the American
dollar"
Such action, it was conceded,
would be of international impor-
lance.

LONDON. April Is G.N.So.
Britain',s silver market opened in
a furry of excitement today as
dealers frantically attempted to
straighten out their position in
anticipation of a big price increase
when bullion dealers meet later in
the day to set the rate on silver.
The first concrete reaction to
President Roosevelt's action in
raising the American domestic sill
yer price to 7757 cents an ounce
was a sharp boost in the price of
the Hong Kong dollar. which is
based on silver. It scared to 2
Shillings, 5 1-16 pence.

to death when they resisted two
highway bandits.
The Persons had driven out
on to Bull Creek road, rugged
and mountainous scenic drive,
ostensibly to see some rock
formations young Pierson preVi'
ously had discovered.
He said they were held up
about Is miles out, by two rob-
bers whom he described in detail,
While one trained two guns on
them, the other started taking
their possessions, young Pierson
said.
He asserted his father became
angry and grappled with the
man with the guns. Pierson said
he jumped on the other bandit
and was shot in the arm.
The other bandit, Pierson said,
was shooting. Pierson told how
he broke away and ran into the
brush where he hid for about ten
minutes. When he came out,
there lay his father and mother,
dead. He claimed he tried tc
get them into the car. but could
not on account of his wounded
arm. Finally he gave up and
drove to town to get his wound
treated.
Four pistol bullets struck Judge
Pierson, one in the temple. Mrs
Pierson was shot three times
once in the temple. Officers
never believed his first story, and
finally he admitted the crime. He
said:
I'll tell my story to DIR.
WOOten."
DR.. Wooten, an old friend OF
the family. treated his arm. DR.
Wooten planned to talk with
him today.
After he confessed, the youth
told officers where they could
find the purses and gun and
they took him in car to the
scene.
After he shot his parents the
first time, he said. he walked off
and then came back to be sure
they were dead. To be doubly
sure, he said, he shot each Of
them through the temple.
The pistol found in the brush
was cheap, .38-caliber five
shooter. The caliber was identical
with the bullets. He bought the
pistol in Galveston Saturday. He
paid $3.50 for it, and bought 16
cartridges.
He used an assumed name to
buy the pistol-the name of
Hawkins. That is the name of
an associate justice of the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals,
highest Texas court in criminal
matters.
Judge F. L. Hawkins, of the
Court of Criminal Appeals, and
Judge Pierson were talking only
yesterday afternoon. Judge
Hawkins had told his fellow jurist
of the heavy criminal docket,
and Judge Pierson replied:
"It is appalling that human
life should be treated SO
lightly"

Mr.. Morgenthau explained that
he was operating simply under q

Experts in Doubt
There appeared to be some ques-
ton whether the Treasury can
buy silver at more than the $l.29
per ounce price. Mr.. Morgenthau
was believed to be of the opinion
that the President could raise this
price by Executive order.
Doubt was expressed by experts
whether the Government would
continue indefinitely to raise the
price of silver. Some felt further
increases would boost commodity
prices. Others doubted this theory,
it was pointed out by some that
q continued increase in the silver
price would lead to top-heavy
market and an eventual break
which would leave the Treasury

Held OverstresSed
Mr.. Ramspeck said today:
"There is considerable feeling
that Mr.. BabcOck and Mrs.
Avery MRS. Edwina Avery, rep
resenting the WOmen's Bar AS
sOciatiOn) placed too much
stress on their contention that
the married persons clause is
causing some Government EN-.
pIOyes to lead immoral lives"
The committee chairman ex.
pressed the belief that the stress
laid on this point by these two
witnesses had done much more to
harm their cause than to aid it.
He said that in his opinion when
the proposition comes before the
committee in executive session
this phase of the question will be
the bone of contention.
The committee will not meet
to act on the proposal for about
a week. They want to wait until
the hearings are printed.
Urges Changes
Mr.. Ramspeck will urge the
repeal of the married-persons
clause coupled with an amend
ment to the Civil Service laws
designed to prevent more than
one member of a family from be-
ing appointed to a Government
position in the future. He ex-
planned:
eff my idea we're carried out,
it would not have any effect on
present cases where more than
one member of family works
in the Government but would
only apply to future appoint.
mentS.
Neither would it have any
effect in a case where a man
and woman working in the Gov
eminent get married. They
could continue to keep their
jobs. My reason for this is that
I don't want to do anything
that could be held as diScOurag.
ing marriage.
"Of course, we would have to
define the word family / would
not want that to be interpreted
as meaning a father and son
where the son is living on his
own. We would make it some
thing like those of a family liv-
ing under the same roof"
Meanwhile, the questions as tc
whether Section 213 has worked
to the detriment of the merit sys
tenn and whether it has resulted
in decreasing personnel as a part
of Government economy-the pur
pose for which the clause was en-
acted-have been brought into the
concluding discussions only in a
casual manner.
