Ickes Opens Electric
Farm in Virginia

With flick of his finger Secretary
Ickes last week set in motion per-

equipped farm in America.
Simultaneous with the throwing
of mechanical switch things began
to happen on Rosedale dairy farm
in Dranesville Va.-an exhibit of the
third world power conference and

Back in the barn 20 cows discover
ed they were being MIXED electro
cally.
Down in the pasture single

A mechanical fiy-swatter COM
menced electrocuting flies swarming

war on different occasions by Gen
erals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall

And back in the bathroom, Ran
dolph Hughes, 31-son of the farm
er-owner-took down his electrical
razor.
The cow got MIXED. The corn was
safe. The flies were killed off in
droves. The bedroom was like q
spring day. But-unfamiliar with the
mechanical beard cutter, son Hughes
cut himself.
Coming downstairs with blood
stained towel to his chin and guilty
smile, he announced the accident and
paid a tribute to his new-found cleo
tricity.
"My," he said, "but that razor's

Moving away from the switch,

exhibit farm would symbolic for

DELEGATES TO TELL
OF FARM ACTIVITIES

AS thousands of North Carolina
farmers and farm women gather for
the annual Farm and Home Week at
State College, outstanding individu-
ais will be selected from the group
to tell the radio audience of WPTF,
Raleigh, their accomplishments.
These speakers will be heard on
the regular Carolina Farm Features
program each day at las p. m. from
Tuesday through Friday. Farm
women will take part on the pro-
gram on Tuesday and Thursday and
the men on Wednesday and Friday.
The homemakers will tell of ways
by which they. have improved living
conditions around their homes
through the use of approved prac-
tees and modern conveniences. A
great deal of emphasis will be placed
on the part which rural electrical
ton is taking in revolutionizing the
farm home. Also coming in for a
great deal of discussion will be the
rural wife's work shop, the kitchen.
The men will discuss generally
their work with crops, gardens, and
livestock. They will attempt to ex-
plain how the latest and most ap-
proved methods of farming have
helped them to run their farms at a
good profit, when others made little
or no money from their efforts.
A description of the events taking
place each day during the event will
be described by the regular conduc-
tor of the Farm Features broadcast.
Also to be included on the pro-
gram will be one or more of the
choruses which will entertain the
delegates at the meeting with old
time songs and hymns.
The regular order of the Farm
Features program will be resumed
Monday, August 8.

SOIL PROGRAM AIDS IN
MORE FEED PRODUCTION

The soil-improvement program
will be helpful to farmers in drouth-
stricken areas who have livestock to
feed, according to j. F. Criswell, of
State College.
The soil-conserving feed crops
farmers have been encouraged to
grow under the program survive dry
weather much better than the soil
depicting type of feed crops, he ex-
planned.
For example, alfalfa, clover, 1espe-
deza, Sudan grass, millet, and sorg-
huns suffer less in extreme drouth
than do corn, wheat, oats, barley
and other such grain crops.
Even with but a very meager
amount of moisture, Criswen stated
those soil-conserving crops will pro-
duce feed for livestock.
Not only do they grow when mois-
ture is scarce, but they make more
efficient use of the moisture that is
available than do other crops such
as small grains.
Experiences in the drouth of 1884
the worst in the United States since
the Civil War, demonstrated the
feed-producing possibilities in dry
years of the same crops which the
AAA is seeking to increase under
the soil-improvement program.
In determining which crops farm
ers would be urged to plant more
extensively, the AAA authorities
took into consideration crops that
are drouth-resistant and relatively
productive of feed under droutl
conditions while also being good fol
building up or maintaining soil fer
tility and checking erosion.
When farmers balance their pro
duction of food and feed, and ar
growing hardy crops, they are prac
ticing preparedness for unusua
conditions, such as drouth and flood,
Criswell added.

A warning tackled to a crossroads
tree in Holly Springs, Miss, that
''there'll be hell here tonight" was

shooting in which a farm woman
was slain, and four other persons
were wounded.
Shots fired from ambush after the
fight killed Mrs. Willie Roach,

Mrs. Jessie Fesmire, Mrs. Fesfnire's
infant, and two spectators.

CURED as the principals were on the
way home from a church revival
meeting.
No Charges Filed
County Attorney L. A. Smith, Jr.,
said no charge had been made
against the Knightons who were
held in connection with the shooting
He said Mrs. Knighton and her
daughters would probably be held
only as material witnesses, and that
his investigation "centered around
Jody Knighton."
ut seems there had been trouble
of long standing between the Knigh-
tons and the Roachs," Smith said.
Yesterday, scrawled notice was
posted on a crossroads tree saying:
There's gonna be hell here tonight ,
GAS Mr.. and Mrs. Roach and their
nine children were returning home
from church in their car, they met
Mr.. and Mrs Knighton and their
daughters at the crossroads where
the sign had been posted. The sign
was later destroyed.
General Fight
The Reaches got out of their car,
and a general fight followed between
Mrs. Roach and Mrs. Knighton,w 18th
much hair pulling and loud talking.
"In the midst of the fight, two
charges from a 12-gauge shotgun,
No. shot, were fired from clump
of bushes along the roadside. One
load struck Mrs Roach in the breast.
She lived only an hour. The second
load scattered, striking Mrs. Fesmire,
and the baby she held in her arms.
T. C. Shaw and Jessie Fesmire were
slightly wounded
Mrs. Fesmire is in a hospital here.
She is expected to recover.
The prosecuting attorney said
Jody Knighton was arrested at his
home. He was undressed and in bed
and claimed that he had been asleep
for some time.
"a shotgun was found under his
bed" Smith said "The jackets of
the shells used by the slayer fitted
into the gun"
