Democratic clubs arc very gloomy
these days despite the fact that w.
Il. Rand has added Il flaming red,
white and blue belt to the patriotic
"Ruoscvclt' suSpcndcrS he got re-
Gently.
The gloom comes from an unusual
source. The Young Denis have just
too much harmony, something which
political organizations usually desire,
but don't always get.
In the current instance, however,
those who arc charged with handling
arrangements for the September
l2-l3-l4 sessions only want sweet
peace and concord after all the dele
gates have checked in and registered.
n fight on the convention floor would
be bad medicine; but pre-convention
prospects of a knock down, drag out
for the club presidency made for 4
bigger and better crowd Of Young
Demos
So Rand and his associates arc now
beWailing the fact that Lee Wilson
pulled out of the race and seems to
have left the field almost exclusive
ly to young Ralph Gardner Of Shelby.
In what seems a last-ditch effort
either to stir up advance interest
or as a real effort to stop Gardner"
Miss Jane Brown, of Greensboro,
said to have been 4 strong Brough-
ton worker during the late guberna-
torial primary, is being pictured as
willing to make fight against Gard
ner. From this angle it looks very
much like a complete flop, whatever
the motives behind it. Nobody here

Not many people are aware of it,

eral officials of the Food and Drug

Just as an instance, in Surry coun-

Ouch. An officer of the North Car
DINA National Guard who will soon
be stationed with his command al
Fort jackson, South Carolina,
thought he would take time by the
forelock and get an apartment or
house for himself and family for the
year the Tar Heel troops will be
camped outside the Palmetto capital.
He wrote real estate agent, his
personal friend, about the matter,
and in reply learned that apartments
and houses which have been rent
ing for $50 to $40 or month are now
ut premium at rentals from S85
to $50.
A couple of Raleigh officers have
put their heads together, decided to
buy 4 lot near Columbia for S70O and
build their own duplex house on it
through an FILA loan. They figure
that if they stay as much as three or
four months, let alone a year, they
will break even if they just move out
and make no effort to salvage any
thing from their equity in the prop
erty.

Early SOybean Plant
ings For Best Yields

The first requisite to success in soy
bean poduction is early planting, for
perhaps no other commonly grown crop
| is as responsive to long growing sea-
son. Information supplied by J. r.
| OKelly, Plant Breeder of the Mississip-
ri Experiment Station, shows yields re-
duced nearly one-third when planting
+, was delayed 80 days, and reduced nearly
three -fourths by delay of so days.
The soybean Investigations being con-
Quoted at State College concern all
major phases of soybean production. In
the planting dates tests, beans Of the
Mamredo type were planted about the
middle Of April, May, and June. The
1 beans were planted at the rate OF one
seed to each inches in rows 40 inches
wide, following a light application OF
complete fertilizer. The soil was largely
| Oktibbeha clay and sand, and enough
cultivation was given to control weeds.
Results very clearly indicate that soy
beans should be planted early.
The 3-year average (1937, 1888, 1s39)
yield of grain per acre from soybeans
planted about April Is was 23.9 busheis.
| The average yield from beans planted
May Is was 1863 bushels, and from June
is paintings the average yield was %
bushels per acre.
Observations by the Mississippi Sta
tion indicate that late planting will de-
crease soybean hay yield as much as 1t
will decrease grain yields.
at is easy to understand why late
planting decreases the yield Of soy
beans" states Mr.. O'Kelly, when it is
borne in mind that Towering in this
crop is governed by the length OF day
light. Any soybean variety starts flow
ering when the daylight hours reach the
point best suited to that variety. Album
dant moisture may hasten Towering
few days, but often beans Of the same
variety planted in April and June will
mature only few days apart. This
means that beans planted two months
late have two months less time in which
to develop, and these are the two months
when growth is most rapid.
Farmers in the State are improving
a great deal of soybean planting seed
each year. This provides an opportu-
nifty for one or more farmers in nearly
every community to derive some cash in
come from the sale Of planting seed.
When an adequate seed supply Is pro-
duced, farmers can consider the produc-
tion of beans for oil. In any case, 1t
will be necessary to give proper atten>
ton to planting date as well as to va
riety"
