n. C.. Voters Will Decide On
Two Current Amendments

Raleigh. - In addition to con-
gressional, state and local con-
tests, North Carolina voters will
decide in November, 1912, what's
to become of two proposed chang
es in the state constitution.
The proposed constitutional
changes are:
1. Creation of a new 15-man
board of education to assume du-
ties of the present education
board, the school commission and
other agencies handling school af-
fairs.
2. To provide election CT solicit
tors according to solicitorial in
stead of judicial districts.
Failed To Pass
Two other constitutional amend
ments were proposed in the re-
Gently adjourned legislature but
failed of passage. They were in
volved in thu Leary-Umstead
ninth school month measure and
the LegrandT Taylor bill to restrict
state representation from any one
county to three representatives
and one senator.
The ninth month bill died in
joint education committee after
the watchdogs of the public purse
had determined state funds were
insufficient to attempt a length
ened school term "this year"
Must Have Approval
If the voters approve, new ID
man board will assume control of
all state public school matters.
The board will consist of one rep
resentative from each of the
states IL congressional districts
by the governor and
the lieutenant governor. Tn el
board will appoint comptroller,
subject to the governors approval
who will probably take over du-
ties of the present school COM
mission secretary. >.
If the solicitorial districts
amendment is approved district
solicitors would be assigned to
work on the basis of court con-
gestion and would not be confined
to their home Judicial districts.
The bill, introduced by Taylor OF
Wayne, provides for Facilitating
the operation of superior courts
in the states in an effort to re-
ieve courts which previously
have operated the year round,
their progress impeded by almost
insurmountable dockets.

April Deadline
For Lespedeza

A good slogan for North Caro-
lima growers to adopt this year
is Save the Soil with Lespede-
"a" says w. D. Lee, extension
soil conservationist of N. c. State
College.
Lespedeza, he pointed out, is
more nearly adapted to this pur-
pose than any other Southern
crop. In addition, there are other
reasons why this excellent le-
gume could very we'll be grown
on every farm: ....... ..,
l. Lespedeza enriches the land
as it prevents erosion. "a good
crop of annual lespedeza plowed
under helps increase the yields
of cotton and corn.)
2. Lespedeza makes a good
hay. CA good stand. 10 inches
high, will yield as much as aver
age peavines. Kobe, Korean, and
Tennessee 49, are good hay va
:rieties.)
8. Lespedeza yields heavy
amounts of seed and the seed are
easily saved. Korean and sericea
are cut and the seed threshed.
Seed of most other lespedezas are
caught in pans attached to now
ing machines. Seed that shatter
from. hay can be gathered in the
barn. - :#.-:.:...:
North Carolina farmers began
seeding the ,legume around the
middle Of February and will
continue until the first of April,
Lee said, in warning farmers that
it will soon be too late to sow
lespedeza.
The State College man ex-
planned that lespedeza affords an
abundance of highest quality
grazing from July to November,
during which time many other
pasture plants are dormant. A
good stand will carry one animal
unit per acre during the period,
and often more if seasons are fav-
orable. It is used alone and also
in permanent pasture mixtures.

that Baptists, Methodists, some
members of the Brethren church,
as we'll as some non-church men,
bers contributed intellectually
to this fund. On behalf of the
church Mr.. Shoemaker wishes to
thank each and every one who
contributed.
The Clifton Boys Club has I'M
der consideration a plan to secure
and put in operation travelling
library. The club feels that such
a library would be of great SER
vice to the people of Clifton and
surrounding communities who do
not have access to any library.
Miss Mary Eastridge is spending
this week in Boone with Rev. and
Mrs. J. C. Wootton, Jr.
Several farmers of this commu-
nifty took advantage of the spring.
