BARLEY VALUABLE
AS GRAZING CROP
Convincing Demonstration Of
fered AT Piedmont Branch
Experiment Station

RALEIGH, Dec. ia convincing
demonstration of the value Of barley
as a fall and spring grazing crop is
to be seen on the Piedmont Branch
Experiment Station near Statesville,
John A. Arey, extension dairyman Of
N. c. State college, said today, and
he recommends barley to .dairymen
as a dual-purpose crop-grazing and
grain. -
Arey reported that J.. W. Hend-
ricks, assistant superintendent in
charge of the Statesville test farm,
seeded 2 IL bushels Of bearded bar
ley per acr on an ~eight-acre field
last year and it produced grazing FOR
II COWS for about six weeks in the
fall and five weeks in the spring.
Then the barley was combined and
produced 80 - bushels Of grain per
acre.
Hendricks used 800 pounds Of 4.
1916 fertilizer and top-dressed with
Soda" the extension specialist re.
ported. This year he seeded the bar
ley onoAuguste21 and about a month
later it produced enough growth to
be p%astured. The herd remained on
the barley for 60 days this fall.
"In the spring this acreage is seed
ed to lespedeza and the 1egume Is
grazed throughout the summer.
Thus, the land produces practically
year-around grazing and, in addition,
Yields a valuable grain crop" =
Hendricks told the extension" spe-
I~cialist that the same land is fertile
enough to produce 80 to IS bushels
of corn per acre. But, If we planted
it to corn, we wouldn't have the graz.
ing that barley produces" the test
farm superintendent commented.
Farmers are invited to visit the
Piedmont station and discuss the pro-
iect further with Hendricks, Arey
stated.

Says Now Is Time To Look
Over Seed Catalogue And
Select Vegetables

RALEIGH, Dec. 15.-First call for
1871 home gardens was sounded to
day by H.R. Niswonger, extension
horticultural Of N. C. State college.
Nov is the time" he said, 'to look
over your second catalogue and see-
lect 10 or more different kinds of
vegetables exclusive Of Irish and
sweet potatoes, to plant next year."
Niswonger says that potatoes are
standard crops for every garden.
Each person in the family will reed
for the year Is to 100 pounds of po-
tatoes, and, in addition, 20 pounds
of dri>d beans and peas.
I'm selecting other garden crops"
the specialist suggested, order
enough seed so that you can make
more than one planting of each. i
you do this you can supply your fami.
ly with all the fresh vegetables they
need and have a surplus to can for
a winter and a surplus to sell on
local markets"
by all means don't forget your
canning budget" Niswonger contin-
ued. every person in the family
will need 80 quarts Of canned vege-
tables, which should consist of one
quart each of corn, greens, okra,
Lima beans, and carrots; two quarts
each Ct garden peas and beets; SIX
quarts of soup mixture; 10 quarts Of
tomatoes; and four quarts of string
BEANS"
The horticultural suggested that
10 or more vegetables for the home
garden be selected from the follow
ing list: Cabbage, collards, beets,
beans tsnap and Lima), greens, such
as kale, mustard, and seven-top tur-
nip or tendergreen; onions, garden
peas, field peas OF dry shelled beans,
tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, okra,

Rooseuelt's Expected
Veto OF Logan-W Walter
Bill May Hit Recess

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-R-
congressional leaders sadi today
that Pesrident Roosevelt's expect
ed veto of the Logan-Walter bill
might prevent a recess Of the ma
tional legislature over Christmas
and perhaps force continuation OF
the session until the new year.
Mr.. Roosevelt has indicated he
will disapprove the measure, which
would broaden jurisdiction OF the
counts over rulings of administra'
tive agencies. and a'veto message
is expected early this week.
There is some doubt whether Ell.
Their the senate or the house could
obtain a quorum to vote on the
question of overriding a veto. I'm
less two-thirds of both house voted
to override, aveto would stand.

YATES WORLEY, OF COLUMBUS, USES
SYSTEM IN KILLING NICE PORKERS

took a great liking to Charles
garden. A box trap was promptly
set and the next morning Br'er
rabbit was sitting up high and dry
as any rabbiet ever sat sticking to
a tar baby.
Charlie got the rabbit out and
put him in a larger box. The rab.
bit ate heartily, so Mr.. Justice de.
cided to fatten him up a bit before
having rabbit hash. This went on
a day or two, or perhaps it was
three; anyway, he began getting
so fat that it was thought he need
ed a larger area that he might
take more exercise.
Mr.. Justice built a kind of poult.
try garden out of biddy wire and
tossed Br'er rabbit over into it.
Now Br'er rabbit as in the case Of
Uncle Remus, must have just want
ed this, for he disappeared over.

a H. r. Niswonger. horticultural

An example of the popularity of
small fruit planting comes from
Mary Teeter, Camden county home

to Niswonger that rs families in her
county have planted one or more of

The State colleg specialist said
that he also discussed a possible
change in the system of cooperative
swine shipments from North Caro-

the livestock mutuals subject to in

that bids be offered on a flat basis.

Comrade Stain seems pretty glum.
That isn't surprising.
II Duce'S realm is too far removed
from the North Sea, the Baltic and
the Scandinavian Atlantic to concern
him. What frets him is the prospect
at Gibraltar, SucZ and in Balkan
waters. He doesn't care a boot for the
northern Atlantic outlet. Correspond

has his responsibilities to the south

them by land.
Herr Hitler is right in the middle.

Hitler's Latest Move May
Not Be Pleasing to Stain

Hitler can get around to attending

How About Stain?
What Washington diplomacy would
like to know is:
What does Russia think about
Germany's push TO its northWard?
In the last World War the Rus
SLAMS ambition was 10 scoop in the
northern end Of the Norwegian
Swedish peninsula, with an Atlantic
outlet by way of the now much-ad-
vertised port Of Narvik, Norway.
This time, when the Soviets hop
ped on Finland, it generally was
taken for granted that their purpose
was realization Of the original scheme
to get to the western ocean as per
Petersburg's carte, frustrated am
bition. 1t wasn't questioned that hav-
ing disposed Of the Firms, the Com
munistS' next step would be to seize
the whole Arctic-AtIantiC coast down
to Narvik at least-maybc farther.
Today Comrade Stain has been
fOrestalled by Herr Hitler.
The best guessing in neutral cir
cles is that this must make COmrade
Stain extremely sore He probably
doesn't particularly care about Den
mark. Copenhagen is a mere incon-
venient side door into the Baltic.
Even if the Germans and the Rus
slams succeed, between them in
