SLOGAN TRADITION

Last in Long Political
Line.
Ry the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
When Gov. Landon's managers
picked "Oh, Susanna" for campaign
song and a sunf1ower for his political
trademark, they followed a tradition
as old as American politics.
Songs, symbols and slogans have
been the trimmings for every election
since Jackson's day.
Democrats probably will match
"Oh Susanna" with their 1882 song
hit, Happy Days Are Here Again"
Phrase-makers on both sides are
seeking sure-fire slogans. Save the
Constitution" was an early Republican
favorite. Keep Roosevelt in and the
Gang Out" has been tried out In the
Democratic camp.
A good slogan, according to political
WiSeacreS. needs three thingS-criSp-
ness, brevity and catchy rhythm

There was the 1840 rallying cry

Harrison into the presidency. Tip

name given Harrison after his victory
over the Indians at Tippecanoe River,
Indiana, and Tyler was his running

Abraham Lincoln was one of the
few Presidents to coin two first class
slogans. He won his first campaign,
with a Seven-word platform, "A House

Recognize Value
OF Bermuda Grass
AS Soil Retainer

RALEIGH, Dec. s. - Bermuda
grass. once considered curse Of
farm land, is now recognized as a
valuable ally in controlling soil
erosion and in supplying pasture
grazing.
Before farmers realized the evils
of erosion, in the days when clean
cultivated fields were taken rs
signs of good farming, the fast
spreading Bermuda grass gave,
farmers many a headache, and
backache too. -
The farmer who left this grass
spread over his land was ridiculed
as lazy, shiftless and incompetent.
But those days are gone. Now
many farmers plant Bermuda
grass not only for it's feed value,
as pasturage but also to control
erosion on sloping land.
In a report to Dean i. Q. Schaub
of State college, X. A. Haney, as
sistant farm agent in Madison
county, told of the good results
being obtained by H. X. Ramsey
on his steep hillside fields.
On one field where the grass has
been growing for years, there are
several bad gullies above the
grassy area, but they end abrupt
ly when they reach the grass:
Where Bermuda grows, the field
is smooth-surfaccd and covered
with rich top-soil.
Ramsey also grows corn on
hIllsidcs with little loss from Gro
sion. BY blowing so the burrows
are thrown up the hill instead OF
down, as is frequent practice, ne
helps keep the soil worked up hill
every time he plows the land.
He plants Bermuda grass roots
in his corn. From the time the
corn is last cultivated until it is
ready for harvest, the grass will
grow to a height Of IL or 10 in
ches. with its matted roots holding
the soil in place.
Bermuda grass will spread down
hill rapidly, but will not spread
up Hill very well. So Ramsey
plants the grass roots at the top
of the fields and allows it to
spread downward.

Pine Trees, Sweet Potatoes
and Soy Beans Hold
Great Future
BY E. T. FRlSBIE
Vocational Agriculture Instructor

Agriculture today offers more
opportunity to the wide-awake
person who is willing to give his
best to science and art of farm
ing.
Many people think that the
farm is now as it will be in the
future, but the next few years
will see many developments in the
way of new crops, machinery. in
crease I'm income, and other things
too numerous to mention.
We will have new machines that
will affect production just as We
have in the past. The Rust broth
erS have built a cotton picker
which may completely revolution
ize the entire cotton industry as
did the cotton gin. This will prob
ably cause great changes in the
population and methods of pro-
duction. This machine has been
looked for since the growing of
cotton began.
This invention does not leave
the cotton industry without fur
Their changes. Over the head of
the cotton industry hangs the
menace of a great rayon industry
which may develop to such an ex-
tent as to practically upset the in
dustry. A method has been found
whereby rayon of a very high
grade can be made from pine
trees. As a result of this discov-
cry the mass of people may be
clad with clothes made from the
lowly pine, and farmers will sit
around the store telling how much
money they made and are plan
ming TO make from their pine
fields instead of cotton.
We have plenty of pines for
while. The lowly pine may be-
come one of our more important
crops along with the development
of other crops not now so impor-
tant. Only a few years ago lespe-
deza was unknown and now it has
place on every farm. The soy
bean has been grown in this coun-
try for many years for a feed
crop and to improve the soil. La
ter it was found that the soybean
could be processed and would give

How And When To
Butcher Hogs Told
By N. Specialist

Here are a few things for the
farmer to keep in mind when
butchering hogs, states K. E.
Nance, meat specialist at State
college. ;,
/. Butcher hogs should be in
medium condition and gaining in
weight.
j 2. Never kill a hog that is los
ing in weight. The muscles of a
thin hog arc often tough and lack
flavor and juiciness, characteristic
Of the we'll marbled piece of meat.
3. Hogs in medium condition
and weighing from 200 to ESQ
pounds produce the most satisfac-
tory meat for curing on the farm.
4. Over-fat, heavy hogs will not
produce high-class cured pork.
= 5. Hogs may be slaughtered at
any age, but meat from young
piGs is watery and soft and lacks
flavor and keeping qualities pos
sessed by hogs with more age.
G. Meat from old hogs is gen
orally tough anu wal 90 100
from 6 to 9 months of age arc
usually best for butchering.
7. Smooth evenly fleshed hogs
will produce finer quality OF
meat and will cut up with less
waste than rough, coarscS wrinkled
and flabby individuals. Quality
hogs will give a more tender, finer
tcXturcd produce with the right
proportion of lean and fat.
s. The meat from boars has
strong. unpleasant odor and flaw.
or. Before butchering they should
be casteratcd, put on full feed
until entirely healed and then fed
for at least 30 days longer.
Prompt chilling Of the freshly
slaughtered hog carcasscs is one
of the most important factors IN
securing sound pork, Mr.. Nance
says. Freshly slaughtered hogs
will chill more rapidly if they are
split. the blanket of leaf lard pull
ed from the inside, and the head
removed. Carcasscs should be
hung 50 that the sides do not
touch and so that the air can cir
culate around the body cavity.

FARM INDUSTRY IS FACING
REVOLUTION IN PRODUCTION;
HAS ROOM FOR LEADERSHIP

an oil that was far superior to
any as an oil for paints. Now our
best paints are made from soy
bean oil. Oil is not the only prod
duct of the soybean. In all, there
are II products from this crop.
One of these products is said to
be stronger than steel and may be
widely used in aviation.
Sweet potatoes are commonly
thought of as a food, but soon
may be a crop largely produced
for manufacture. We now pro-
duce oils, sugars, starches, and
many other products from them.
Out in California, experiments
have been conducted in the pro-
duction of crops without soils.
The crops are grown in large shall
low watts of water to which has
been added the various plant
foods. This method has been used
long enough to demonstrate that
it can be made an economical
method in the production of root
crops, greens, potatoes, and toma-
toes. Potatoes have been pro-
duced at a rate Of $500 bushels
per acre. which is over twice the
amount that can be produced on
our. best soils.
With these developments and
many others that will come it now
looks as if there will be a great
change in agriculture in the fu-
ture. The man who would farm
should start out to learn and forge
ahead of the many that will be
following. The farmer who will
be successful in the future will
have to be a man who knows his
line and can forge ahead of the
masses.

she affirms, left the ballot, which
she voted and mailed to Coston in

that it wa. against the rules for
her to mail it back in the en-

ballot and that it was voted
straight Democratic on the coun-
ty ticket, that the signatures were
not the same on the backs of all

ticket was not voted for o. B.

LETTER WITH EVIDENCE
q Accompanying the sffidavits,
letter from Petitioner Albritton
calls the attention of the state
board to the following facts in
connection with the contention
that irregularities were permitted
by Dermid:
- That one affidavit shows that
absentee ballots were printed
without a meeting of the election
board, and that number of alb
sentee ballots were voted before
the official ballot was authorized
to be printed.
That the absentee ballot from
Wichita, Kansas, tends to show the
contention that the chairman of
the board applied to the voter for
his ballot, instead of the voter APP
plying for ballot.
That an affidavit showing about
40 applications in the same hand
writing tends to show that the
chairman supplied ballots whole
sale to Democratic party workers.
That previous evidence has
shown that party workers went
over the country, to Washington
and other places, interviewing
prospective absentee voters, and
in some instances getting votes.
ave do not understand that
this is a criminal proceeding, with
the burden of proving guilt as in
the law courts. Even if it were,
we don't see how you can help
but find that Dermid, who had
charge of the ballots and was re-
sponsible for their safe keeping
and proper issuance, permitted
