LESPEDEZA is BASE OF
GOOD CROPPING SYSTEM

Lespedeza can be made to serve
as the hub for good cropping sys-
tenn for conserving soil and water on
the farm, according to H. M. Stott,
agronomist of the Soil Conservation
Service in the High Point demon
stration area.
Although seed bed preparation is
not necessary where lespedeza is
seeded in small grain, Stott said,
best results will be secured if the
seed is run over lightly with drag
harrow If seeding is done on land
not in small grain, the seed bed
should be disked we'll before the les
pedeza is soWn.
On badly eroded areas too poor to
produce crops but which the farmer
hopes to build up and return to Gull
tivation, lespedeza is the ideal crop.
Where this legume can be grown
continuously for five or six years,
Stott advised that lespedeza sericea,
a perennial, be mixed with the an
nual variety.
Upon the advice of the State Col
lege Extension Service and the Soil
Conservation Service many farmers
are planning to retire their severely
eroded land to pasture. Since much
of this land is too poor to produce
grasses and clovers necessary for a
good sod, Stott recommended the
planting of lespedza, which will
build up the fertility of the soil to
point where it will support a pas
ture sod and at the same time pro-
vide limited amount of grazing.
Seeding lespedeza is also one of
the first important steps in the

Veteran Mason Dies
in Masonic Home

Henry Chase Butler, 81, one of the
oldest Masons in the State, died at
the Masonic and Eastern Star home
in Greensboro this week after an
illness of several days. He had been
a resident at the home for number
of years.
Mr.. Butler was a native of Maine,
but came to North Carolina to be-
come superintendent of the Car
aleieh Cotton mills in 1892, which
position he held until 1914 when he
came to Greensboro as assistant sec
rotary of the Masonic and Eastern
Star Home. He was made superin-
tendent of the Home in 1918, and
retained that post until he retired in
1880 because of advancing years. He
has lived at the Home since.
He was active in Masonic circles
throughout his life and took a prom
inent part in church work in the
city. He remained active until very
recently and had a remarkably clear
memory.

CONTROL DISEASE TO
SUCCEED IN FARMING

Controlling plant diseases, when
possible, is much cheaper than suf-
fering heavy losses at harvest time.
Some of the things North Carolina
farmers can do to protect their
crops from disease are listed by DR..
R. F. Poole, extension plant path
ologist at State College.
Do not plant corn that shows pink
or black diseased areas, or corn
coming from moldy cobs. Good
stands are obtained only by plant
ing healthy corn.
Where practical, rake up old ap-
pie leaves under the trees that were
attacked by scab disease last year.
The fungi causing the disease live in
the leaves, which should be burned.
Sulphurs sprays are effective in
controlling scab, but they must be
applied timely and thoroughly in
pre-pink and petal-fall stages.
Serious arsenical burn can be pre-
vented where sprays containing lead
arsenate are used on peaches if zinc
sulphate is mixed with the spray
material.
Spray dewberries with Bordeaux
mixture to control anthracnose.
Do not plant the same crops on
lands where heavy losses from dis
ease occurred last year.
Remember that sunshine kills the
fungi that cause blue mold in to-
bacco plant beds.

Charlottesville Dentist
Sentenced to 10 Years
Mother of Dead Girl Expresses
Pity, Miller's Wife Weeps
at His Sentence
PLEADED GUILTY OF CRIME

DR.. r. G. Miller, man called too
''weak-willed to resist the advances
of women" awaited transfer to the
State penitentiary Saturday to be-
gin serving a 16-year sentence for
the chloroform Staying of an 49,
year-old expectant mother.
The 53-year-old Charlottesville
dentist was sentenced by Circuit
Judge Lemuel F. Smith at the con-
clusion of a compromise trial in
which Miller pleaded guilty to the
second degree murder of Cleo
Sprouse, whose body was found on
the University of Virginia campus
on March 2, a towel covering can
of chloroform on her face.
Miller, his drawn face streaked
with tears, stood between his wife,
Mrs. Mozelle Miller, and his daugh-
ter, Lucy, and faced a courtroom
thronged with acquaintance and
former patients as Judge Smith pro-
nounced sentence, four years under
the maximum of 20 years which
Virginia law permits.
There was little commotion at the
verdict. The family of the victim sat
grouped around the mother, Mrs.
Lula Sprouse, with heads bowed.
Mrs. Sprouse, who previously had
said she would fight the legal COM
promise, said she thought the ends
of justice had been met.
I'm glad it's over" the dead
girls mother exclaimed. 'And now I
have nothing but pity for the poor
family of Dr. Miller"
Across the breadth of the colonial
courtroom sat the Millers.
poor Dick! Oh, poor Dick" the
wife exclaimed. Lucy Miller, who
wept with her mtoher, pressed her
fathers arm. Then he was led back
across the courthouse green to the
county jail-there to await removal
to Richmond State penitentiary.
Chief Defense Counsel E. WALK
er's automobile awaited outside and
whisked the Millers to their COM
Portable midtown home. The mild
hammered wife, whose written plea
for clemency was the only defense
testimony, left with minimum of
notice.
Her only comment on the fate of
the man she had said couldn't re-
fus anyone anything che was that
kind-hearted," was repetition of
her remark at the sentence:
poor Dick! Poor, poor Dick!"
Both prosecution and defense at
torneys said the high school girl
died after Miller had administered
chloroform preparatory to an at
tempted abortion. Miller denied
prior to the trial that he was re-
sponsible for the girls condition.

FARM QUESTION
AND ANSWER

Question: How can get rid of
worm infestation in my flock of pull
lets?
Answer: Where the flock is in
tested with round worms all pullets
should be dewormed with nicotine
suplate, carbon tetrachloride, or to-
trachloroethylene. These remedies
may be secured at any reliable feed
stores. For tapewormS you should
use kamala. If the flock is infested
with both tapeworms and round
worms, a combination capsule may
be used, or the flock may be de-
wormed for round worms first and
followed in about ten days with the
tapeworm treatment provided the
birds are not in lay. 1t is best not to
administer any treatment while the
birds are in lay.

East feared that South would not bid again so he doubled the contract of three because he could not let pass through his fingers 6 chance to collect what a,loeared to be certain penalty. [: would seem that the fact that south had shown a two-suiter should have been Sufii- cient to make East cautious in his doubling.
 When the spade was opened, South went right up with the acc in dummy, and quickly analysed the situation. East, he reasoned, must hold at least four trumps for the double. If he held all five, nothing could be done.
 Declarer led two rounds of dia- monds and, when the queen dropped from the West hand. he led small trump. East cashed his four trurnps but that was all, and the contract was made.
