Three-Year Rotation
Brings Good Results

A three-year rotation of corn,
wheat, and lespedeza is superior in
many ways to a two-year rotation
Of wheat, crimson clover, and corn,
according to E. c. Blair, extension
agronomist at State College.
In the first place, the land is in
row crop for only about six
months out of every three years.
The rest of the time it is in wheat
or lespedeza, which are broadcast
crops that discourage erosion, or the
land is plowed up rough and left
over winter for the lespedeza to de-
cay. During this time there is like
ly to be little washing, Blair ex-
planned.
Then, too, the same amount of la
Dor can cultivate more land under
three-year rotation. It is usually
necessary to plow only once in three
years at the time lespedeza is turn
ed under for corn. Discing an har-
rowing will generally put the corn
stalk field in shape for wheat.
Blair pointed out that there is no
rush work in this rotation, as the
lespedeza may be turned under at
any suitable time during the win
ter: Preparing the land for wheat
is a relatively apid process, and the
1espedeza is sown on the wheat in
February or March when there is
little else to do.
On the other hand, it is often a
serious problem to get crimson clo-
yer turned under and corn planted
in twoyear rotation. Also break
ing wheat stubble land during hot
weather in order to sow crimson
clover sometimes presents difficult
ties, Blair added.

Doughton Is Heard
On Taxation Issues

North Wilkesboro, Sept. 5,-Rep-
resentative r. L. Doughton, a natio-
nal authority on taxation because
OF his duties as head of the power
full ways and means committee of
Congress, discussed taxes in an ad-
dress Friday before the North
Wilkesboro Wiwanis club.
Although he discussed taxes as a
general subject, the greater part of
his address dealt with federal taxes.
It now takes from four to five bill
lion. dollars annually to run the
government, he said, and went on
to cite some of the increases during
the 26 years he has been a men,
Der of Congress. A quarter of
century ago only $18,OO0,OO0 was
spent annually for agriculture and
now the sum is over 100000, 900,
he pointed out.
He said that in his opinion taxes
should not be lowered but as ex-
penditures are reduced the savings
should be applied on the national
debt in preparation. for future de-
preston.
He stated his belief that tax fields
should be segregated and that there
should not be duplication of taxes
by county, state and national gov
eminent units.

Windsors Display
Interest In Pigs
And Paintings

NOETSCH, Alstia, The duke
and duchess of Windsor learned
something of pigs, paintings, and
breadmaking on farewell visit this
week to Alfred Wiegele, the YER
satile village baker.
Tn addition to being present the
morning of their honeymoon at
Wasserloenburg castle, Wiegele Oft
en- returned on afternoons to
trounce the duke at tennis.
The baker was in the midst of
his work when the Windsors unex-
pectedly called, so he took them
around his little shop, showing them
first hand how their morning rolls
had been made.
Then he displayed paintings by
his brother, Professor Karl Wiegele,
which the Duchess admired so much
she said she would sit for her por-
trait when we return next year."
Wiegele next revealed his pride
on the merits of his fat porkers,
Arabella and Zaphronia.
From Noetsch, the Windsors plan
to go to Borsodivanka castle, in
Hungary, for a visit according to
Mapor Dudley Forwood, Windsor's
They will be guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Bedaux of
New York City, at whose Chateau

ried June 3.

excess Of any kind, his best step
would be to have through physi
cal examination once or twice a
year. In this way he will be able
to know his needs and meet them.
His physician will be able to detect
the onset Of any condition while
it is in the remediab1e stage. Per-
sons around fifty will increase
their chances for reaching IS many
times over, if they will take advan-
tage Of what medical science has
to offer them. This is to be had
through a regular physical examin-
alton once or twice a year by a
competent physician.

.leSe Questions can be answered
larry accurately, provided they are
repres fntative of the general aver

the lils tables for the United States

au ol the Metropolitan Life Insu-

anu woman 739. AT ages higher
every additional ysar uIItn az age
81, with only one more year to reach
the goal, men have 964 and women
81 chances per 1000.
Now that the age of IS has been
attained, how many more years
may one expect to live? Will the
goal be worth the striving? Ac-
cording to the same life tables, a
white man may expect to live 11.79
ySd1S d1IC1 w o1lO q Willie
woman may expect to live 1888
years, which would make both live
many years more than the span al
lotted by the Bible.
Another interesting fact brought
out in the life tables is that rural
people have materially better |
chances for reaching the age of IS ,
than their city cousins. For in
stance, the urban white male of 35
has ST. chances out Of thousand
to reach IS, while the rural male |
has 702, or a difference of 131 chan
ces. For females, the correspond
ing figures are 663 and 752, respect
lively The expectation of life after
attaining IS is greater also for ru-
raj people. For urban white males
it is 1880 years. For rural white
males it is 1913 years. For urban
white females it is 1886 years, and |
for rural white females it is 1880 |
These figures reflect the familiar
fact that women have better |
chance to live to ripe age than /
men and that life taken as a whole |
is a little safer when lived in the
country than when lived in the city.
It is heartening to know that the
above figures are refleXibie in in
dividual cases. In other words, a |
person may increase his chance of
living to be IS beyond that of the
general average OF the population.
Whatever he does to ward off heart
disease, pnuemonia, hardening Of
the arteries, kidney disease, cancer,
high blood pressure and other de-
generative conditions will be just SO
