INDIANS SEEK

Bill Introduced In Legis-
ldture Would Make Use
Possible In

Helena, Mont. Jan. Is up
A bill before Montana's 26tn
legislative assembly would re-
turn the. outlaWed. Peyote bean
to Indian tribal religious cere-
monies.
Introduced in the house by
Stewart of Rosebud and Geb-
hart of Yellowstone, the bill pro-
vides for exemption of Indian
religious ceremonies from state
law banning the bean-some-
times known as the mescal but
ton-from use because of mar
cotic properties.
Johnny Takes the Gun and
Thomas Tobacco, however, con-
tend the sacred bean is not
habit forming and is used only
at ceremonials.
Inc Two Crows were in Helena
to secure passage of the bill.
Federal law at the present
time permits use of the cactus
derlvatlve, and the Indians seek
to have it removed from the
states black list:
In support of their stand,

as established in 1888.
We want to encourage the
Indian to live his own life in
his own way. We want the
white neighbors of the original
Americans to learn their relig-
ious beliefs and their ceremonies
and to respect them"
Both tribesmen said the bean
had no effect on the mating
instinct. as had been charged at
the time it was outlawed.

PLANTING TREES Is
SAFETY OF FUTURE

College Station, Raleigh, March
Is. Farmers are becoming increas-
ingly conscious of the value of plant
ing trees on idle land to make a
crop of timber for the not too far
distant future, says r. w. Graeber,
forester of the State College Extern
sion Service. Reports compiled to-
day show that applications for l.
6O3,575 tree seedlings (not includ-
ing black walnut) were handled
through the extension forester's Of
flee for the 1878 planting season.
This was an increase of 1877 per
cent over the previous year, Graeber
said. These seedlings were plant
ed by 500 farmers in 80 counties.
Due. to a shortage of trees, applica-
tons totaling nearly 100000 seed
lings were cancelled.
Reports from county farm agents
show that 1912 farmers planted new
areas to forest trees, covering 1909
acres, for re-forestation or timber
growing purposes. This is an in
crease of IS per cent in the num-
Der of farmers and ID per cent in
the acreage planted the previous
year.

the form Of nitrate of soda.
The amount required is depend
ent upon the size of the tree and
the rate OF terminal growth. A
good guide to follow in determining
the amount is: One-half pound of
nitrate OF soda for every inch of
trunk diameter; for example, if the
trunk is six inches in diameter,
three pounds of nitrate of soda is
usually sufficient if a permanent
cover crop of grass or clover is used
IL soil management. If the orchard
soil is good fertility and the land is
clean cultivated during most of the
growing season, it may be advisable
to use a lesser amount
Answering the frequently asked
question as to whether it is, neces-
sary to apply fertilizer mixture to
the Individual trees, the most eco
nomlcal practice is to fertilize the
cover crop with other food elements
such as superphosphate, potash and
agricultural lime, and apply nitrate
OF soda or other forms of nitrogen
to the Individual trees.

Fertilizer Improves Growth of
LeSpedeZa

Experiments in Rowan county
have proven that lespedeza needs
lime and superphosphate when it is
grown on poor land. 1t is true that
lespedezas have a reputation for
bringing back land too poor to
grow crops with profit, or land that
has been abandoned because of low
fertility, but little fertilizer will
greatly increase the value of the
crop.
In Rowan county Korean lespede-
Ia was seeded on poor land without
fertilizer treatment for two years.
The plants reached a height of more
than two inches only where row
crops had been fortified previously.
This growth was limited to a mar
row band right where the fertilizer
was placed in the previous year.
Most OF the lespedeza died when
about two inches high.
When the land was treated with
lime and superphosphate, there was
{. marked increase in growth. On
untreated plots Korean reached a
height of one to three inches; with
lime alone, four to IS inches: and

Al Crop Champions To Get
Scholarships

-Four one-year scholarships to
State College again will be offered
to the All members who conduct
the best cotton, corn, tobacco and
horticulture projects in 1899. These
awards, together with a cash prize
OF $500 for the best club in the
state and banners to the best club
III each county, are given by the
Arcadlan Nitrate Educational Bu-
reau, through H. L. Meacham, its
North Carolina representative.
The awarding of these prizes will
be on the basis of the approved pro-
Ject record book of the State Col
lege Extension Service, with Lead
er Harrill as the judge.
Two Rowan county boys and one
each from Wayne and Wilson corn-
ties won the scholarships offered in
1898. Duard Cress, a 17-year-old
club boy of Salisbury, Route 2. was
the horticulture champion: Luther
Paul Canup, 18-year-old freshman
at State College and a member of
the St. Pauls All Club of Rowan
county, won the cotton-growing
championship; Walton Thompson
10, OF the Black Creek Club in Will
son county, conducted the best to-
bacco project; and Clenon Best. 20.
OF the Four Oaks community in
wayne county, was the corn-grow-
ing king.
Young Cress made a net profit of

was carried out on a garden plot of
500 40 feet. He sold 24O bushels
OF tomatoes, canned 112 quarts, gave
So' bushels to neighbors, and con-
s.lmed III bushels in the home.
Canup made 966 pounds of lint on
measured acre, which is approx
mately four times the state average.

cotton and returned him a profit of
$99.62.

zo4 pounds of tobacco produced on
an acre, and Best produced 1872 BUSH
els Of corn on 2.6 acres, the pro-
Ject netting him $2O885 profit. The
yield figures almost 1877 bushels per
acre
Q-What can I do about naked
back chickens in my flock of Young
chickens?
A.-This trait is usually inherited
and all young birds showing such a
trait should be eliminated. Only
those birds showing tendency for
last feathering should be used for
breeding purposes and the other
birds culled from the flock as quick
~ as possible. To get rid of the in
herited trait may take two or three
years OF close culling and the work
should be started as soon as pos
sible. Mark the birds that feather
out early and use these in the
breeding flock
Q.-When should the fertilizer be
applied when planting cotton?
A.-The fertilizer should be mixed
with the soil and Dedded on ten days
prior to planting if possible. It is
extremely important to mix the
fertilizer Thoroughly with the soil
to prevent seeding injury and a

Raleigh, March 25-The General
Assembly of North Carolina has been
meeting with due regularity and de-
corum ever. since the present Con-
stitution was adopted some 70 years
ago, and it wasn't discovered until
this session that there really has been
no provision for converting the
House of Representatives in session.
The law says that in absence Of the
president of the Senate, the secretary
of state shall convene that body.
BY long established custom, the
principal clerk of the last session has
convened the House. By custom Of
later development, the clerk usually
calls the House to order as the speak
er approaches the stand. Nobody has
objected, but there really hasn't been
any authority for that procedure.
If House Bill 1O4, introduced by
the veteran Murphy Friday becomes
law, there will be no further ques-
ton about it. The secretary Of state
will convene the House of Represen-
tatives and preside until the body
elects presiding officer.
Also, custom has been for the
manager of the Capitol building and
grounds to allocate seats to members
of the General Assembly. There
hasn't been any law for this, but
somebody had to do it. Mr.. Murphy's
bill puts that little job on the secre-
tary of state, too, but relieves him of
lots of worry by providing that any
returning member shall have the
same seat he occupied the previous
session if notice is filed within five
days after the general election. 9th
erwise, he will have to take what the
secretary allots to him.

But the latter contributes so much
more to his comfort, health, safety,
convenience and profit that it is diff

case.
Actual studies show that the typi-

water per year, in the kitchen alone,
and that the farmer and his wife
take more than 100000 steps in car
rying it. The time required is equiv

year. AS much additional water is
needed for washing clothes and for
bathing, it is probable that the final
figures are more nearly double those

Nor does this revised estimate in

horses and mules will do more work.
When drought occurs, ample Wa

more than pay for the electricity

Water under pressure is a definite

it is caught in the early stages.
Even more important than the
savings it yields, an automatic wa

health by providing clean, fresh
water at all times. 1t raises the
standard Of living and promotes
