FARMERS ARE SOWING
PERMANENT PASTURES

The practice of stretching two
strands of wire around some scrub
pines or quilted land and calling it
pasture, is rapidly disappearing
under the Soil Conservation Service
program in Rockingham county.
Thirty-nine cooperators have sown
or agreed to sow 202 acres to perm
anent pasture this spring. Nearly
every farmer cooperating in the Soil
Conservation Service and State Col
lege Extension Service program is
sowing some of his land to new pas
ture to control erosion.
Realizing that good grass is one of
the best and cheapest foods for cows
as well as one of the best agents for
erosion control, Zeb Williams, one of
the cooperators near Madison, retir-
ed 10 acres of tobacco land to perm
anent pasture. He now has an acre
of grass for each cow and mule on
his farm and has a good sod on his
pasture land to control erosion.
The ground retired to pasture was
in good state of cultivation before
it was seeded, thoroughly broken
and disked. All corn and tobacco
stalks were plowed under. A ton of
lime, 400 pounds of fertilizer, and
40 pounds of pasture mixture per
acre were applied on the field.
AS a further aid in controlling
erosion, contour burrows were con-
structed with a two-horse plow. The
burrows will retain in the pasture a
large portion of the rain water,
which will be absorbed into the
ground. The increased moisture will
produce a better growth of pasture
grass.
The new pasture area will be fenc-
ed this spring, but grazing will not
be permitted until good sod has
become established.

DIES FOLLOWING THREAT
Letter Ordering Official to Leave
Town May Have Caused Death

Delois F. iced, 40-year-old FEEDER
al relief administrator for Butler
county, died suddenly in his office
in Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Saturday-the
day he was marked for death In an
abusive Letter received a week ago.
The note warned iced to get out
of town within seven days cor it
will be Judgment day for you" Sat-
urday was the seventh day."
Department of Justice agents re-
vealed iced had turned copy of
the letter over to them. Coroner
Grover Greer, who said cit is posi-
BILE that worry over the warning
may have influenced sudden heart
attack, stated copy of the note was
found in Teed's pocket after his
death.
The letter which the coroner said
Teed had copied in his own hand
writing follows:
Leave town for good in seven
days or it will be judgment day for
you. Police cannot help you. 1t you
stay we will get you or the boy If
it takes a year.
There won't be no more warning
if you mix the police or other peo-
pie in this, we will get you here or
where you go. Leave and save your
dirty hide or stay and we get you"
The boy referred to is believed by
officers to be Teed's 10-year-old son,
Jackie.

Mother of Dead
Child Begs for
Surviving Son
Visits Alone with RaviShed Body
of Girl, A, From WhOra She
Had Been Separated

A young mother who had to give
up her two children after separating
from her husband spent several
minutes alone with the ravished
body of her four-year-old daughter
in New York City Saturday.
The brief reunion took place in a
dreary room at the Jamaica morgue
while the State prepared to prose-
cute the accused slayer of the child,
Howard Magnussen, 26, on charge
of murder.
Mrs. Dorothy Morvan, the pretty,
22-year-old mother of the victim,
came from Mortified, VT, when she
heard about the crime and, against
the advice of friends, visited the
n1orgue for last look at her daugh-
ter Joan.
She was on the verge of collapse
when she came out. Her ordeal at
the morgue over, Mrs. Morvan went
before Judge Rosalie Loew Whitney
and pleaded for her other child, two
year-old George Morvan, Jr., who
has been with the children's society
since his sister died.
81 have suffered enough" she
said. ''They must let me have my
baby" Mrs. Morvan said she would
place him in the care of sister IN
Freeport, Long Island, until she
COLD earn enough to take care OF
him.

starts, the exact time depending up
on the geographical location and
current weather conditions.
Do not wait until small grain is in
the boot, or until the heads are
showing, Rankin said, as top-dress-
ing at this time is too late to do the
heads of grain any god even though
1t may make the leaves greener.
He also urged growers to buy only
good fertilizer of a mixture suited to
their soil requirements, and to re-
member that the cheaper are not al
ways the least expensive.
1T is the amount of plant food you
get for your money that counts" he
said, "and not the number of pounds
of filler that may be in the bag"

A measure was introduced in the

Although copies of the bill were
not available it is understood that
the measure would not allow the
sheriff to retain fees of $2.O5 for land

the act of 1885 allowing extra clerk
hire of $50 per month for the office

War Continues to
Rage Within Spain

Relentless war continues to rage
in Spain, with the government
forces apparently achieving the
greater successes during the past
week, on the face of the available
reports, which of course have been
censored as usual
But Madrid suffered civilian cas-
ualties Thursday night when insur-
gent shells screamed into the city'S
residential districts. Two big shells
landed in a plaza six blocks from
the U. S. embassy building, where
most of the Americans in Madrid
reside.
After night-long battle along the
Valencia-Jarama road front, fighting
continued without a pause Wednes-
day, as insurgent besiegers battered
at government lines guarding the
highway at two points, with new
and heavy artillery, repeated tank
charges and masses of shock troops.
From inSurgent sources came re-
ports that the government had NOV
ed all its big guns and most of it's
troops to the road sector to protect
seeming attempt at a mass retreat
from Madrid toward the Mediter-
ranean sea.
A sensation throughout Madrid
was caused Wednesday by uncon-
firmed reports that government
forces had re-entered the city of
Toledo, whence they were driven
five months ago, and that they were
engaged in heavy street fighting
with the insurgent army of General
Franco.
It had been known for weeks that
a large government force was occu-
plying positions near Toledo, but re-
ports of it's activities had been sup
pressed. Toledo is Al miles south of
Madrid.

NITROGEN INCREASES
SMALL GRAIN YIELDS

The acreage of small grain in
North Carolina this season is the
biggest in years, said w. H. Rankin,
State College agronomist.
The unusually large crop being
grown means that growers should
give serious consideration to the
condition of their small grain fields,
he continued.
A good top-dressing applied as
soon as the weather permits will
help develop large, healthy, full
bodied heads of grain, he stated.
The top-dressing supplies nitrogen
that is essential to growth and de-
velopment. Rankin recommended Is
to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda or
sulfate of ammonia to the acre.
It should be applied in March, or

One cause of dampness in many
brooder houses is the tin roof sup
ported by few boards nailed to the
rafters. The tin collects moisture, or
'sWeats".
This trouble may be corrected by
providing a solid roof of board be-
tween the tin and the rafters, Par
rish stated. If the roof has already
been built, extra boards may be
slipped in the space left between the
tin roof and the rafterS.
Another frequent cause of Excess
Sive dampneSs is improver construc-
ton of the brooder house floor, es-
pecially when the house is on a
poorly drained site.
Parrish pointed out that first of
all, the site should be protected from
excess moisture. If necessary,a small
ditch may be dug around the house
to drain off the excess.
Several inches of cinders or coarse
gravel should be put down inside
the house to provide good drainage.
Then cover them with tar paper and
pour the concrete over the tar paper.
Where the floors have already
been laid, dampness may be lessen
ed by placing tar paper over the
concrete and then pouring an addi-
tional layer of cement on top of
that, Parrish pointed out.
However, he added, some moisture
is necessary to keep the chicks in
good health and to aid them in
feathering. When the brooder house
is too dry, it is advisable to place an
open vessel of water on top of the
hrooder.

DAMP BROODER HOUSE
PROPAGATES DISEASE

Excessive moisture in the brooder
house contributes to the develop
ment of coccidiosis and respiratory
diseases in young chicks.
Coccidiosis germs propagate rapid
ly in a warm moist environment, ex-
planned G. F. Parrish, State College
extension poultry specialist.
And dampness lowers the chicks
resistance to disease affecting the re-

Ell Centro's postal receipts in
creased 1879 per cent in June, 1897
over June of last year, Postmaster
Frank Richmond announced We'd
nesday.
AT the same time, the postmaster
announced a 1925 per cent increase
in postal receipts for the first six
months of 1897 over a similar period
