Thousands and thousands of per-
sons set out in the driving rain in

Terror of the Moors drove many of
Madrid's residents to abandon every
thing in their headlong rush to escape
the capital.
Others believed the fall Of the capi-
tai, already suffering severe food
shortage, would mean starvation once
the enemy gained command Of the
city's dwindling food supply.

Danger Of Disease.
A member of the Scottish Ambu-

wounded, warned of the imminent
danger of disease as we'll as hunger.
Almost primitive hygienic condi-
tions, he said, created constant threat
of a typhoid outbreak.
The news that Premier Largo Cabal-
lero had decided to flee Madrid was
coupled with a statement in informed
quarters that this did not mean the
war was ending. 1t will be carried on
with renewed vigor by the Socialist
government, probably with head
quarters at Valencia, on the southeast
coast of Spain.
From there, officials said, the
Socialist regime will change roles with
the Fascists-driving from the South,
as the Fascist insurgents have done.
while the Fascists resist from the
North.
The fronts will be almost exactly
reversed.
Many residents of Madrid expressed
sympathy with him and his cabinet

PRIVATE PENSION

Altmeyer Declares Systems

by Firms.

Anxious that public reliance en-
private insurance companies should
not be decreased and that old-age re-
tirement systems Of private concerns
should not be abandoned, Arthur J.
Altmeyer, acting chairman of the So

continued support of these devices
after the Federal old d-age benefits pro-
gram gets under way.
Describes System.
Describing details of the Federal
system. which becomes effective next
January /, Altmeyer added:
Insurance companies are prepared
to furnish additional protection to
workers who desire to and can af-
ford to pay 1t. Just as war risk in
surance stimulated the life insurance
business, it is anticipated by insurance
oficials that the Government old-age
benefits plan will stimulate the pur-
chase Of additional protection from in
surance companies.
Also, If an employer already has in
operation an old-age retirement plan
for his employees, the Government old
age benefits program will not inter-
fere with that. The employer can fit
his plan into the Government pro-
gram"
Plans Are Disclosed.
After Withholding details for admin
istration Of the old-age benefits pro-
gram until after the stormy pre-
election controversy, the board yes
terday disclosed plans to circulate ap-
plication forms to all eligible employees
and employers this month. Facilities
Of $4,000 post Offices will be used in
reaching the persons involved and
identification cards will be distributed
to approximately 10000 900 employees
by January /.
Full instructions will accompany
the forms to be sent to employers and
employees.
A tax Of per cent Is to be levied
on employees wages starting January /,
this amount to be paid by employees
and an equal amount to be contrib
uted by employers. Benefits also begin
to persons who reach the age of IS

Early Cutting i OF
Soybean Hay Is
Advised By Blair

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Auo 25. Most North Carolina
farmers would get better quail
itv soybean hay by cutting it three
to six weeks earlier.
The best hay is secured by cut
ting the crop when the pods are
small and before any beans have
formed, said Z. C. Blair, extension
agronomist at State College.
Most growers wait several weeks
after this time and the farmers
oct a miytn.e Of straw and beans
rather than a good hay, he point
ed out. -,
Early planted soybeans will be
ready to cut in August. LespedeZa
lay, he added, should be cut whlle
he rlants are blooming. Korean
icspedeza usually blooms about
the middle of August, while some
of the other varieties will bloom
the latter part of the month.
When common Kobe and Ten
neSSee rs leSDedeZa are CuI at an
early stage, Blair pointed out, they
not only produce good hay, but
the second growth will resecd the
land or make a good crop to turn
under.
August is the month to start
SOWING fall cover crops so the land
will not be left lying bare after
corn, cotton, and tobacco have
been harvested.
Vetch or crimson clover hay
may he grown in cotton when 1t
is laid by, OF in corn and TOBACCO
which have already been laid by;
Blair stated. Scatter the seed and
cover it with cultivatOr.
Sow the vetch at the rate OF ~
to 25 pounds to the acre and Grim
son clover at the rate of so pounds
to the acre when it is sOwn in the
hull. -,
Crimson clover sown in the hull
will give good results when seed
ed in August, but it should not be
sown any later, Blair added.

for the grasses and increase the
WELD of forage. Barnyard manure
has widely been used for fertiliza-
ton of pastures. This is a good
practice where small amounts are
used but you will not get the re-
suits from six to eight tons Of
manure per acre as can be had
from 600 to 500 pounds of acid
phosphate. There is considerable
chance that you will introduce a
large number of weeds in the pas
ture by the application of manure,
and these weeds will reduce the
forage.
The presence of weeds and
brush in the pasture, reduces the
WELD of feed. Where there are
many weeds in the pasture 1t IS a
good policy to run the moving
machine over it during August to
remove them. A good clipping tins

bv the use of sheep and goats,
combining them to small areas and
changing them often enough to
give good forage, yet leaving
them on one place long enough to
get weeds under control.
In this county there are several
thousand acres Of idle land that
can be turned into good pasture

giving them the proper care each
wear If we would but use our
idle land for pastures we could
remove all our stock from the
woods and let the woods grow
timber. and produce annually a
thousand or so head of cattle. In
this way we would stop our IDLE
soils from washing away, and
lands that have become too poor
to produce could be made to pay
their taxes and leave a small
profit for the farmer.
