NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Pitts-
burgh's Panthers. the team supposed
to be de-emphasized, Debated and
denoted from top-flight national
ranking this season, was given No.
position today in the first Associated
Press gridiron poll of the season.
Victor over Washington, West
Virginia and Duke this season, Pitt
again is riding high in the esteem of
the public and of the 102 experts
who contributed their ballots to this
inaugural election. Though the PAN
theirs were outgained by untried
Tennessee, "a to 10. in number of
f1rst-place votes, they gained enough
support all along the line to get
total of 709 points.
This put Pitt, only Eastern eleven
to crash the first 10, in front by 70
points over Notre Dame, which
also has won three games, but took
them all by the narrowest of mar
gins. The Irish, with 16 votes as
No. team, were followed in order by
Oklahoma, tied but unbeaten; Tu-
lane, Southeastern Conference power
plant; Tennessee, which gets its first
trial by fire against Alabama Satur-
day; Michigan, Southern California,
'Bama, Texas A. and M. and Ohio

Michigan and Ohio State opened
their Big Ten campaigns impress
sively last Saturday and are rated
favorites for the conference title;
Southern California, with 1lth-
place Oregon, which fought the Tro-
jams to tie, stand out on the West
Coast, and Texas Aggies drew most
of their ballots on the strength of

STATES HAY CROP
BEING HARVESTED

College Station, Raleigh, July g.
During the next two months, North
Carolina farmers will harvest a
major portion of their 1889 hay crop,
John A. Arey, dairyman of the State
College Extension Service, said to-
day.
Some of the hay will be of good
quality, and consequently, high in
feeding value. On the other hand,
Arey explained, a large portion of
the crop will be of low grade. Thus
this low quality hay will fall below
feeding standards.
The State College dairyman point
ed out that good quality hay is ex-
pressed in leafiness, fine stems, good
aroma, distinct green color, and a
low percentage of foreign matter,
such as weeds and stubble.
Excluding unfavOrable weather
conditions, most of the factors neces-
sarys in producing good hay can be
controlled by practically any grower

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, July 8.-The News Bu-
reau of the Department of Conser-
walton and Development recently
sent out a release outlining the ac-
tual conditions encountered by traV-
elers in the Great Smoky National
Park. It ought to be valuable to Tar
Heel travellers as we'll as those out
side, so it is here repeated.
In its opening year the casts new
est national playground, the Great
Smoky Mountain National Park, is
still largely the outdoor mans and
sightseer's park. Outside of camp
ing, most Accommodations for park
visitors will be found outside the
area.
Three lodges are operated within
the park-at Elkmont, Cade's Cove
and on Mt. Leconte (the last place
reached only by horse or on foot)
Only a fraction of the million visit
ors to the park this year can stop
at these places.
Around the park lies a well-de-
veloped resort region, which has a
history going back beyond "dis-
covery' of the Smokes by vacation
lists. On the North Carolina side, ac-
comodations ranging from 81 per
day on up to the most luxurious re-
sort facilities may be had. They
include the lodges and cabins at
Cherokee, on the Indian reservation,
and the nearby hotels and cabins at
Bryson City.
A bit eastward are Sylvia, Waynes-
vile and Asheville. On the Tennes-
see side, facilities are to be had at
Gatlinburg, Maryville, Serviceville
and other nearby villages.
At least a dozen towns and cities
and possibly one or two foreign
countries will be represented in the
first international google fishing
tournament at Cape Lookout.
Thirty-three Eastern North Caro-
lima towns and cities have been in
vited to send sponsors and to par
ticipate in the second annual coastal
festival to be held at Morehead City,
July q to 29.
The 1888 feed bulletin can be OBJ
tanned from Louis H. Wilson, pub
licist of the State Department of
Agriculture, by any one wishing
copy.
Mr. Wilson says it is Of great value
and interest to farmers all over the
State.

column is yielding it for the next

lamented, session of the General AS.

Farm Survey
Peculiar To
This State
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir walter Hotel.


Raleigh, July 8.-To most people
the census means Uncle Sans de-
cennial count of things, which will be
taken again next year; but to dozen
workers in the State Department OF
Agriculture it means the annual
North Carolina farm survey.
incidentally, this State is the only
one in the South making such an an
nual survey, according to w. II.
Rhodes, chief of the departments
statistics division.
This year it is hoped to have the
survey results ready for release about
October l.; and these results, when
completed, will furnish absolute and
accurate data on Tar Heel farm land,
small grains, cotton, corn, tobacco,
legumes, hays, vegetables and live
stock distribution.
Not only will it furnish these data
for the State as whole, but for each
individual county; with more than 80
per cent of all crop land acreage ac-
curately described and the crops
thereon listed in detail of all sort
The survey is the result Of action
taken back in 1917 by the county
commissioners of some 70 counties
who decided to attempt the first
farm census of this kind in North
Carolina.
Informal explanations and requests
resulted in 78 counties having their
tax listers secure farm acreage re-
ports on 1892 farms. The Agricul-
tural Extension Service provided the
report forms and standardization
clerical work, while the United
States agricultural statistician plan
ned and supervised the actual TAX
ing of the survey.
In 1919 the survey was also on a
completely voluntary and cooperative
basis, but its results were much more
complete.
BY 1921 more than 80 counties were
reporting and the General Assembly
brought the others in by enacting the
farm survey law.
Since then the attitude of the
farmers has improved rapidly, par
ticularly since they found the many
advantages which resulted from it
during administration Of the old
Triple A, Rhodes said.
AS result, the 1887 and 1888 sur
vey carried full details on more than
"a per cent of the complete crop
acreage of the State. With such COM
plete data, it was easily adjusted to
100 per cent, with the counties re-
porting less than go per cent of their
acreage the only losers. Mr.. Rhodes
is of the opinion this loss will OBJ
viously increase with the continual
ton of farm relief programs, which
will certainly continue in steadily
improved form.
Pointing with some pride to the
fine cooperation of North Carolina
farmers in the survey Rhodes said:
"The success of this program, as
of any of a constructive nature, has
arisen from the fact that it supplies
basic information on which a prac-
tical plan of operation for farm aid
measures can be founded. The lack
of full county figures and facts is
why the old AAA was so difficult.
The basic figures required were far
mers' records or reliable approxima-
tions Of acreages grown from 1923 to
1882; and the farmers estimates
often showed misjudgments of acre
, ages"
Because township reports had been
made through tax listers since 1918,
farmers in North Carolina could
claim the acreages they reported to
tax lister. This was the only state in

Begin Fall Gardens In July.

Fall gardens should be started IN
Vance county not later than July.
''The fall garden is too often neglect
ed on many farms, and it should be
remembered that the vegetables that
can be grown on an acre of land
would cost the farm housewife from
$40O to $500 if bought at retail
prices"
The following vegetables may be
safely planted in July in Piedmont
gardens: peeIs, turnips, snap beans,
leaf lettuce, mustard, spinach, bunch
lima beans, carrots, sweet corn, and
tomato and celery plants. Kale and
seeds of early cabbage should not
be planted in this county later than
July 18th.
The time to plant the fall garden
depends upon the harness of the
different vegetables and upon the
time required for maturity Tender
vegetables must be planted in time
to produce crop before a killing
frost occurs. Many of the cool-sea-
son crops will grow and mature
through light frost.
In Vance county our first killing
frost usually occurs the last of Oc-
tOber or first of November.

Harvesting LeSpedeZa.

Lespedeza should be cut when it
reaches a height of Is inches or
when it is in full bloom, whichever
occurs first. For the Korean variety
the average dates for cutting is from
August l to September l, and from
August Is to October l for the other
varieties. To delay harvest will US
ually injure the quality through loss
of the lower leaves. However, if July
and August are dry and September
wet, it will pay to delay moving the
Common, Tennessee 76, and Kobe
varieties as the main growth of these
will take place in the latter month.

Summer Critical Period For Lawns.
July and August is the critical pc
riod for your lawn. The lawn mower
should be set high to prevent cutting
the grass too close, and unless fa-
cilities are available for continuous
watering, it is better not to start
The usual cause of brown lawns in
summer is insufficient humus in the
soil. In order to hold moisture, the
soil must have organic matter such
as manure, woods mold, peat moss,
or some other similar material No
amount of commercial fertilizer will
replace this necessary element.
The shrubs that have finished
Towering may still be pruned. If
seed pods are removed from pink
spiraea, it will bloom several times
during the summer. All seed pods
and old flowers should be removed
from flowers to keep them bloom
ing. If shrubs are to be kept attrac-
tive, they should never be cut out
flat across the top, but, instead,
should be thinned out from the
ground, removing old canes and per-
haps shortening the more vigorous

Cooperation for PIuy

The first step toward meeting the
problem of the development of play
grounds which have been bought and
paid for and then forgotten" has
been worked out as a cooperative
project between the Recreation Board
and the District Commissioners, as
sponsors, and the W. P. A. and c. C. C.
The program, calling for joint eff
fort involving more than four hun
dred thousand dollars, is only one
third the size of the one which
begged down last summer because
enough funds for materials were not
available. But it Is definite start
toward ending the uneconouic prac-
tice Of acquiring playground sites and
either letting them lie undeveloped
or improving them only enough to
attract small numbers of the children
of their areas.
1t is true that the newly designed
program is far from complete. 1t is
to cover only the ground work, such
as grading, planting, laying out vari-
ous types of playing surfaces, building
sidewalks and installing water and
drain pipes. An additional white
collar w. P. A. project is hoped for
to provide more planning personnel.
The result will be, however, that most
of the grounds which are now only
partly useful at best, will be in con-
dition to be improved Immediately
when Congress sees fit to provide the
necessary funds.
The program has a real signifi-
canoe beyond it's immediate effects.
Before the reorganization of the
Playground and Community Center
Departments last summer a spirit of
individual effort rather than whole
hearted cooperation appeared to
pervade the citys recreational activi-
ties. The system lacked proper CO.
ordination, and, in overlapping at
many points, left other needs unmet.
The present plan is a demonstration
OF the earnestness of the attempts
to correct this condition. It has been
brought about by cooperation be-
tween the Commissioners, the Board
OF Education, the National Capital
Parks Office, the Recreation Depart
ment, as well as the two agencies
which are to carry out the work.
