BURGWYN IS AFTER
SPECIAL JUDGSH|P
Set-Up Then Would Make
Ernest Tyler Solicitor;
Cholson Is Talked

Friends of Solicitor w. III. S. Bur
gwyn, of this the third judicial dis
trict, are offering him to Governor
Hoey for appointment as a special
Judge. one of several to be appointed
under an act of the 1887 General AS
semblv. and in the event he is ap-
pointed will press for the naming of
Ernest r. Tyler, of Hartford county,
as solicitor to succeed him, according
to talk in political circles here today.
Mr.. Burgwyn has served as solicit
tor since Judge r. Hunt Parker re-
signed the office to become Judge in
the district on the death some years
ago of the late Judge Garland E.
Midyette. Mr.. Tyler was once a can
didate for solicitor against Judge
Parker when he was holding the Of
flee
Mr.. Burgwyn has been elected once
since he was appointed to the solicit
torship. His tel m expires next year,
when he will lie up for reelection if
he seeks the office again.
For several years it has been un-
derstood tt at T. p Gholson, of the
Henderson bar, was an aspirant for
the solicitorship Three years ago in
1894, when Mr.. Burgwyn was seeking
reelection for q four-year term, there
was considerable speculation as to
Mr.. Gholson opposing the solicitor at
the time He decided, however, not to
make the race and Mr.. Burgwyn was
unopposed.
Gossip in local circles is that Vance
county, on the extreme western end
of the third judicial district, has not
been consulted in the shuttle involv-
ing Solicitor Burgwyn and Mr.. Tyler.
Moreover, there have been indications
that Mr.. Gholson might possibly be
offered for the vacancy in the event
Burgwyn is made a Judge. 1t is point
ed out that Vance has seldom ever
had recognition from any source in
State affairs, and that the county

growers on the average quality of cot
ton sold on the local market. The
grower who sells high-quality cotton
receives only small portion of the
premiums that such cotton would
bring on central market. This svs-
tenn leaves little incentive for the pro-
ductlon of better cotton. That manu-
facturers are willing to pay premiums
for high-grade cotton of long and
more uniform staple is shown by the
fact that cooperating farmers in a
Georgia community in one wear re-

Colder Months Best to Grow
How CrODS

Success usually smiles on the dairy
farmer who grows his hay crop dur
ing the winter and early spring
months, according to F. r. Farnham
extension dairy specialist at State
College.
This plan, to a large extent, over
comes failures. often encountered due
to a lack of rainfall when summer
grown hay has been depended upon
Farnham says farmers have found
that winter cereal hay crops provide
an excellent roughage if cut at the
right time.
Most authorities now agree that the
correct time to harves small grains
and legumes found in the mixture for
cereal hay crops comes when this hay
contains the largest quantity Of diges-
tible nutrients.
Therefore, says Farnham, it has
been established that the stage of ma
turity will determine the nutritive
value of the hay when cut. When
plants are permitted to become over
ripe, the fibre content increases and
the protein decreases.
Cows do not relish over-ripe hay on
this type if it has been stored over
period of several months, and will
not produce as much milk when fed
such hay.
For winter hay crops, such as oats,
wheat, barley, vetch, and Austrian win
ter peas, the bloom is the best indi-
Gator known for time of cutting. Har-
vest the hay at the end of the bloom
period, Earnham advises.
When harvested at this time, the
hay is palatable, high in protein, and
will provide valuable roughage for
dairy cows.
Cotton CHASING Service Will
Aid States Crop
DR.. r. Y. Winters, director of the
Agricultural Experiment Station at
State College, says the act just passed
by Congress authorizing chasing of
cotton and extension of market news
service to groups of farmers organized
to improve the quality of cotton
should be of tremendous value to cot
ton growers in this State.
The act, an amendment to the So
called grade and staple law, admins
tered by the Department of Agricul-
ture, is expected to encourage cotton
farmers to organize and select an i'm
proved variety adapted to the COM
munity. There are already more than
500 such organized communities in
the Cotton Belt now eligible for the
CHASING and market news service. Of
this number, 10 communities are 10
Gated in North Carolina, says Director
Winters. Farmers who would like to
get information on the procedure for
organizing a one variety community
should get in touch with their coun-
ty agents or the Agricultural Expert
ment Station.

l1eting, "hog-around" prices are paid

casion will be Mrs. Charlotte Hilton
Green, president of the Raleigh Bird
