Soil Deficiencies
Lower Crop Yields

Plant food deficiencies in North
Carolina soils are curtailing the
YIELDS of cotton and tobacco, accord
ing to c. B. Williams, head of the
agronomy department at State
College.
Where the crops are suffering
from potash hunger" or sand
DROWN" he said, production could
be increased up to so per cent in
cases by adding small amount of
potash or magnesia.
Potash hunger" in tobacco is
characterized by yellow spots on the
leaves. The spots later turn brown,
then drop out, giving the leaves a
ragged appearance.
Sand drown" caused by a lack
of magnesia, causes cotton leaves to
ing cut and cured.
Silage is succulent and keeps cattle
in good condition through the win
ter. Silage production requires less
acreage and, therefore, permits the
use of soil-building crops on land
that would otherwise be needed for
growing hay.
The construction of a trench silo
is fairly simple, the specialist stated
A narrow trench should be dug on
farms where only few animals are
turn red and later drop off. In
tobacco the lower leaves are light
green, then become almost white
between the chief veins.
While it is too late this year to ap-
ply potash or magnesia in time to
correct the deficiency, Professor
Williams said, growers should take
careful note of fields where the
trouble occurs and plan to add pot
ash or n2agnesia or both, as needed
to their fertilizer next spring.
Where these deficiency troubles
have occurred, he went on, they
are almost certain to appear again
until the necessary plant foods have
been placed in the soil
The comparatively small amounts
of potash and magnesia necerrary to
correct the trouble cost but little in
comparison with the heavy in
creases in yields that can be obtain
ed.
Professor Williams added that if
growers are in doubt as to what is
affecting their crops, they may con-
suit their county farm agents, or
send specimens of affected plants
to the agronomy department at
State College, Raleigh.

F. ID. II. Does Not
Attend Meeting
Garner Makes Speech Praising Man
Who Succeeds Robinson

Senate Democrats met in har-
mony dinner Tuesday night and
pledged complete cooperation to
their new leader, Senator Barley
OF Kentucky, but PRESIDENT
welt did not accept the invitation to
attend.
The dinner was "stag" affair
behind closed doors at the Raleigh
hotel, and even SentaorCaraway of
Arkansas, the only woman member
of the chamber, was left off the in
vitationlist. Vice President Garner,
who has worked increasingly since
his return from Texas to heal party
wounds, presided and read the Pre-
sident's letter, which said:
"The quality of a mans friend
shi2 is always a safe barometer of
his character and in the case of AL
ben Barley this is particularly true.
And it is an old friend that I wrote
this note; that I embrace the op-
portunity to add my testimony to
the words of his other old friends
and colleagues who will speak to-
night in token of their appreciation
and affections for this man.
"Alben is not only a political
friend but is a friend in a very real
and very deep personal sense. Our
associations cover long and delight
full years. We have travelled to-
gether; we have transformed to-
gether; we have known the exul-
tation of victory and we have been
together in times of mutual COM
miseration.
II know that everyone present
this evening will agree with me
that Alben Barley is greatly dis
tinguished for the things he does
not say as well as for the things he
does say. Whether he was born that
way or has acquired this marve-
lous restraint through years of self
discipline, l do not know. But
do know that it is a great asset"

He is John Anderson of Old Fort,

'HENDERSON'SW WATER
DECLARED AS PURE
State Board of Health An
alysis Shows Trace of
Odor and Coloring

Tn a statement issued today by
Mayor Henry T. Powell, who based
his remarks on an analysis of Hen
derson's drinking water by the State
Health department in Raleigh, the
water was declared to be absolutely
pure" and contained some coloring
and an odor.
The water question has been acute
here for the past several days as some
form of vegetation or some foreign
matter had given the city water an
unpleasant smell and taste.
Through the lnstigation of water
company officials, DR.. A. D. Gregg
took a sample of the water from a
tap, and sent it to Raleigh for an
analysis. The report was received to-
day, confirming the fact that the wa
ter was pure.
Many people have been hauling wa
ter to their homes for drinking pur-
poses, while others boiled the city
water to remove the odor and taste.
Samples of Henderson's water has
been forwarded to Raleigh every day
this week for an analysis, but the
water officials wanted DR.. Gregg to
obtain specimen and have an an
alysis made.
The company has been doing every
thing within it's power to clear up
the matter, and to give Henderson
better drinking water.

The art of living will share attention
with practical instruction at the All

A well-rounded program, "the best
planned for a short course so far is
being arranged, said l.. r. Harrill,
4-H club leader for the State College
extension service.
Special attention will be given prac
tical subjects, he stated. In agricul-
tural engineering, for example, there
will be instruction on the care and
