Japs Take Small Ship
From Portuguese Force

CHUNGKING, Aug. 29.-lR-A
fragrant violation of Portuguese
neutrality was reported today by
the Chinese central news agency
which said that 200 Japanese and
Chinese puppet troops in plain
clothes forcibly commandered the
British river steamer Sian at Ma
Gao August 18 after killing more
than 20 armed guards and police
men.
The Japanese seized the ship
after Portuguese authorities re-
fused to sell it, the agency said.
Macao, colony of six square
miles situated on an island at the
mouth of the Canton river came
into possession Of the Portuguese
in 1857. The agency gave the fol
lowing account of the seizure:
The Japanese and puppet troops
went from Hongkong to Macao in
two trawlers which they berthed
alongside the Sian. A gun fight
started and several Indian guards
were among those killed.
More than 100 refugees including
Chinese, Portuguese and Filipinos
were aboard the Sian. They were
forced to remain aboard when the
ship put to sea.

Galeazzo Ciano, former ltahan
foreign minister and son-in-laW OF
Benito Mussolini, escaped from
Rome yesterday with his wife ana
three children, the German over

The broadcast, recorded by the
Associated Press, said Clano eluo-
ed a police guard at his home ana
fled to an unknown haven.
The house had been closely
guarded day and night by eight
detectives and Ciano had not left
home since July 26, the broadcast
asserted, adding that his wife.
the former Edda Mussolini, had
left home every day for brief
walks with her children and had
also received friends.
The broadcast continued:

that Count Ciano had likewise left

MADISON COUNTY
PRODUCES GRASS
Four Thousand Bushels OF
Orchard Seed Produced
In Area

COLLEGE STATION. Raleigh,
Aug. 29-Four thousand bushels OF
orchard grass seed, new crop for
North Carolina, are being produc-
ed in Madison county this season,
reports Philip R. Elam, farm
agent for the extension service at
State college.
It has been thought that these
seed could no the grown in North
Carolina, but the Demonstration
Farmers Association has done the
job and they have provided one OF
the portable IVA machines for
threshing the crop. A recleaning
machine also has been purchased
by a miller in Marshall to get the
seed ready for the market.
According to Elam, several
farmers are threshing from $50 to
400 bushels of the orchard grass
seed this year and could find g
ready market for them. The agent
says, however, that most OF the
seed which have been produced
will be used locally. The retail
price on these seed has been
around $500 blushel.
Elan thinks we'll of orchard
grass and lespedeza. He says that
the grass seed can be harvested in
the spring and the lespedeza in the
fall. This will give two crops in
one year with a minimum of ex-
pense and this method of cropping
will be of great benefit in con-
trolling erosion and preventing
teaching.
According to Elam, orchard
grass seed production can prob.
ably be used to advantage in the
Piedmont section also, especially
in those areas where lespedeza is
left for seed and combined in the
fall.

CARE OF COTTON
CAN PAY FARMER
Picking And Storing Staple
To Insure Dryness Will
Bring Dividends

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Aug. 29-Care in picking cotton so
as to keep it dry and with a min
irnum of trash and weather damage
can bring many extra dollars to
growers this season, j. A. Shank
lin. extension cotton specialist at
State college, said here today.
He noted that on the basis OF
government loan rates for an inch
and one-sixteenth cotton, a bale OF
low middling is worth 1925, strict
low middling S110.75, middllng
$4,000, and strict middling Slll'oo'
on the white grades.
, He pointed out that cotton should
not be picked green but only When
the bolls are well opened and the
cotton is fluffy. He urged growers
to take special care Of the first
cotton which is picked and dry II
out thoroughly b yturning 1t 1or
several days before it is carried 10
gin.
He said that regardless OF now
good the equipment of the cotton
ginner is, the fleecy staple canno'
be properly ginned unless the
seed cotton has been put IN the
right condition. According to the
specialist, high grade cotton comes
as the result Of cooperation Pc
tween pickers, growers and gin
ners and all must do their part.
shanklin especially urged grow
ers to keep their cotton dry by not
picking when there is dew on the
plants or too soon after a rain.
During a rainy day period, the
seed absorb a relatively large
amount of water and it takes sew
eral days for them to dry out so
that a good job of ginning can be
done.

The Tar
Heel
Gardener
BY John H. Harris
N. C. State Conege

This fall when you select trees
and shrubs for your landscaping,
why not select some that will not
only add beauty to the home
grounds but will also add food for
the table. There are such trees
for instance as the pecan, chinqua-
pin, black walnut, mulberry, hick-
ory, serviceberry, persimnon, and
in some sections the cherry and
pear trees which furnish shade
and fruit with very little attention.
There is another group OF less
hardy, but with reasonable
amount of pruning and spraying
will furnish us with beautiful
blooms and delicious fruit. This
group includes the apple, peach,
plum, damson, aprlcots, and crab
apple trees. These trees can be
used as individual shade trees or
they may serve as screen or
border with perhaps shrubs in
front of them.
We have a number Of shrubs
also which produce edible fruit,
as well as being ornamental. Take
the ounce, hawthorn and eleag-
nus, for instance, and you have at
tractiye flowers in the spring and
attractive fruit in the fall. This
fruit, among other uses, can be
made into delicious jelly.
Still another group of shrubs
that produe attractive flowers and
edible fruit include the chokeber'
ry has puckberry taste but ed
ible) hazel nut, considered a del
icacy by some people,, blackhaw
(big clusters of sweet tasting ber-
ries) and elderberry (used fo1
making wine and mixed with ap
pies in apple pie). Another grour
of ornamental food producing
shrubs would include the fig, hue
kleberry, and blueberry.
All these shrubs and trees wher
used in the home grounds should
serve some useful purpose. Thai
is they should furnish shade OF
background or should decorate and
soften some part of the house
Another appropriate place woulc
be in the border or used perhaps
to screen off unattractive views
They should not be planted aim
lessly throughout the lawn.
The grape, of course, is neither
a shrub nor a tree but because o1
it's importance in the home
grounds I am listing it along with
trees and shrubs. The grape i
trained on an arbor may furnish
a corner of the yard or if trained
on a trellis may serve as a back
ground or boundary planting.

Many growers have cnansec

of hay from the lespedeza. Anoth'

On his cultivated land, Moss has
found that a three-year rotation of
cotton or corn, followed by small
grain and lespedeza for two years
is effective in giving increased
yields and preventing large soil
losses from erosion.

BALTIMORE, April 24.-Possibil-

Transit Co. employees was seen to-
day as independent union officials
asked the War Labor Board to
nullify an order requiring the COM
pany to recognize the AFL Anal
gamated Association of Street Elec-
trio Railway and Motor Coach En-

The National Labor Relations
Board issued the directive Febru-

cision as to whether the order will
be put into effect now rests with
the WLB.
Claiming that the independent

WLB could expect real strike
if it approved the order.
IF there is no other way for us
we will strike, and if we do the
