KILLED BY GUARD

VALDOSTA, Ca. March 25.-P
A 23-year-o1d Negro was shot and
killed today by a policeman while
being taken to Jail by the officer
and a member of the Home Guard.
Chief of Police H. M. Tassmore
said T. W. Alderman, city officer,
shot the Negro four times when
the latter attempted to grab the
officers pistol.
The Negro, Gill Jones, dish
washer in restaurant, was lden-
titled by the officers as the man
who entered the bedroom of two
young white girls early today. The
girls summoned their parents and
the father held a gun on the Ne
gro until the arrival Of police. The
Negro escaped and officers fired
at him as he fled into woods near
by.
State troopers, city police and
about 100 members of the Home
Guard searched the wooded area
and found the Negro lying under
brush, Chief Tassmore said. he
had been wounded in the hip.
Chief Tassmore said Officer Al
derman was sitting in the back
seat of an automobile with the
prisoner and member OF the
Home Guard was driving the car
to the city Jail when the Negro
was killed.

INDUSTRIAL FOOD
RATION MODIFIED
WASHINGTON, March Is. =

WASHINGTON, March Is. Up
The OPA today ordered elirnina-
ton of restrictions limiting in
dustrial users rationed food con-
sumption for this quarter to
amounts actually allotted them.
The order is effective at 1901
am. Monday.
Industrial users include bakers,
manufacturers of beverages, phar-
maceuticals, fruit spreads, and
producers Of other point-free pro-
ducts in which rationed foods are
ingredients.
The restrictions on use Of any
food SURPRISES these producers
may have been able to obtain
were scheduled to expire March 81.
They are being removed earlier,
the agency explained, because
some industrial users, in budget
ing their allotments, miscalculat-
ed their rate of use and have no
supplies left for the remainder of
the quarter"
Food allotments for the April
June quarter have been available
to these users since March Is, and
removal Of the limitation will per-
init those who are short to dip
into that supply.
The restrictions were imposed
when number of foods were re-
turned to the ration list early
this year. The step was taken,
OPA said, because some indus
trial users had accumulated a
large reserve of ration currency,
as well as physical inventories of
rationed foods. Their supply, the
agency added, was ''in excess of
the amount they need to operate
their business" 9
The limitations can be removed
now industrial users have been
put on notice that excess inven-
tories will be taken up during the
second quarter, OPA said.

RALEIGH, March Is. - up -
IF present plans Of North Carolina
farmers are followed into the plant
ing season, the acreage of all crops
grown this year will be approx
mately three per cent less than
in 1914, according to the Crop Re-
porting Service of the State Agrl-
culture Department..
Frank Parker, chief of the serv-
ice. said that the farm labor situa-
ton has grown progressively more
acute and that most farms now
are being operated on very
shorthanded basis.
1.-THE acreage of idle Land this
season will likely be larger than
for any recent year," Parker said,
adding however, that many farm
ers still intend to plant more to-
bacco than the labor force now In
sight will be able to- harvest.
Although small increases are
shown in the prospective acreage
in tobacco, oats, peanuts and hay,
these increases, the report shows,
will fail to offset indicated de-
creases for wheat, corn, barley,
Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, soy
beans, and coWpeas.
Continuous warm weather DUR
ing the first weeks of March which
caused fruit trees to bloom early,
is said to have increased the
likelihood of freeze damage. Small
grains also have grown rapidly
and. would late freezing tempera-
ture, occur, yield prospects will be
reduced. Warm weather has, how
ever, stepped up production OF milk
and eggs.
Following are acreage prospects
released by the Crop Reporting
Service:
Irish potatoes-Plans indicate
decrease of 10 per cent in the total
acreage of Irish potatoes to be
planted in the State this year. In
dication are that $1,000 acres will
be devoted to this crop as conpar-
ed with oo,UUU last year.
Sweet potatoes-Farmers anti
cipate planting $4,000 acres, six
per cent less than was harvested
last season.
Wheat - Unfavorable weather
and the acute labor shortage re-
suited in a decrease of approx
mately 6 per cent in the acreage
of wheat for harvest this spring,
as compared with a year ago.
Hay-Weather conditions were
unfavorable for harvesting hay in
some sections Of the State last
year and many farmers were I'M
able to produce as much as was
required for feed. With land avail
able for growing hay as a result
Of decreases in other crops and
with supplies comparatively low,
farmers plan to increase their
acreage about three per cent.
Soybeans and coWpeas-Current
plans point to decreases IN soy
beans and coWpeas for hay and a
further expansion in the produc-
ton of lespedeza. The acreage in
alfalfa also shows marked in
crease over that Of last year.
Oats and barley-While inten-
tons now show a decrease Of about
10 per cent in the acreage of bar
ley, farmers plans call for an in
crease in the oats acreage of APP

piled in the spring. The manure
may be either broadcast and
ploWed into the soil, or it may be
be placed in rows on both sides of
the seed row. In addition to the
manure, approximately one-tfird
tc one-half the regular amount of
commercial fertilizer should be
applied and mixed with the soil
underneath the seed. This COM
mercial fertilizer is quick acting
and will nourish the plants while
the manure is becoming available.
Manure also makes an excellent
fertilizer for most trees and
shubs. 1t may be worked into the
soil or left on top to serve as a
mulch. In no case should the ma
nure be used closer than two to
three inches to the roots or stems
of the plant unless it Is thoroughly
rOtted.

The Tar Heel Gardener
By JOHN H. HARRISS
N. c. State College

Successful gardeners know that
poultry and stable manure is an
excellent garden fertilizer. They
also know that the use of manures
year after year without any other
fertilizer will make the soil too
erich" for certain vegetables.
This too rich" a soil is caused
by an excess of nitrogen in the
manure in proportion to the
phosphate and potash content.
A balanced fertilizer can be
made from poultry manure by the
addition of approximately so
pounds of super-phosphate and 10
pounds of muriate of potash to 300
pounds of manure. For stable ma
nure the 10 pounds of potash may
be left out.
The ideal time to apply manure
is in the fall or winter. However,
If this was not done it can be ap-

Carolina Farm Comment
By F. H. JETER

The other day in Raleigh one OF
the extension horticulturists plac-
ed $50 pounds of the improved
Louisiana strain Of Puerto Rico
sweet potatoes in a bin on the
produce stands of a large food
store. Just beside this bin, he fill
ed another with an equal amount
OF the regular sweets. In neither
case were the potatoes specially
selected but were taken Just as
they had come in with a load of
~ bushels from farm in nearby
Harnett county. The specialist
stood around to watch what would
happen. Within three hours after
the potatoes had been placed near
ly every one of the Louisiana strain
had been purchased, the bin was
empty, and the adjoining bin still
had its original supply. This hap
pened in spite of the fact that
the improved strain was priced at
two pounds for 10 cents as COM
pared with two pounds for Is cents
for the ordinary sweets. No one
said a word to the thrifty house
wives who came to buy. They
made their own selections and
several were heard to remark
that If they could get potatoes like
those all the time, they would use
more of them.
Which is one reason why select
ed seed OF the Louisiana strain
were brought into North Carolina
at the beginning of the 1913 sea-
son. Consumers in the large towns
and cities Of the State are using
now about 100000 bushels of sweets
per year when if they were given
the kind they want, this could be
stepped up to about 300, 600 BUSH

proximately seven per cent. Pro-
ducers were unable to seed the
intended acreage of oats last fall,
but have materially stepped up
planting of spring oats. Since a
large proportion of the spring oat
cron is usually cut for hay, the
acreage of oats to be harvested
for grain may be less than Tor the
previous year.

els year. Last fall about 10000
bushels of selected seed potatoes
were harvested and cured by grow
ers who had used the seed stock
secured for them in the spring.
Some of these potatoes developed
troubles OF one kind and another,
some was sold on the consuming
market, and some were eaten at
home. However, about 10000 BUSH
els OF extra good seed were saved
and certified by the North Caro-
lima Crop Improvement Associa-
ton and these are now being dis
trlbuted over 70 counties for fur
ther use as foundation seed stock
this year.
Johnny Lassiter, extension horti-
culturist, says the sweet potato

quality product each season this

ne is going to see what can be
done. Right now he is securing
the cooperation of Dermid Maclean
to make a motion picture in sound
and color showing how to grow and
handle the sweets for best re-
suits. Maclean, it will be remem-
bered, is the fellow who made five
pictures for the State College
Foundation in 1913 and two others
in 1914. The pictures are financed
by Lieut.. Richard ]. Reynolds,
USNR, OF Winston-Salem and pres
ented to the Extension Service to
promote better farming in the
State. A script has already been
prepared and shooting will start
right away on the potato picture.
A little later when cotton and
tobacco are not paying the pro-
fits which they pay now, we may
be glad Of this extra income from
the sweet potatoes, Lassiter saws.
He has gone to the nutrition
chemists of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station and has found
that the sweets equal tomato Juice
IN vitamin CO.. potency. They are
one-haf as rich as orange juice
in the potency Of this vitamin and
are one OF the most valuable sour
ces we have of vitamin "A''. In
fact. the nutrition people report
that the sweet potatoes are from
one to two times as potent in vi
tamin "A" as the very best sum-
mer butter. Nor is there any loss
of this vitamin when the sweets
are in storage. Baking them brings
about no loss of their vitamin &C.
and very little loss in carotone.
Lassiter also went to the farm
economists and found that the
sweets rank seventh among all
the crops in farm income to grow
ers and that. last year. 1914, North
Carolina stepped into first place
in total production. About 81 per
cent Of all our farms grow the
sweets but we only shipped 689
cars Of the potatoes in 1913 as
compared with 3,87 shipped from
Louisiana. Our crop in 1913 was
valued at SIG, 296, 900 as compared
with $17,269, 900 for that OF Louisi-
ana. Our cash income from our
sweets that year was $4,5Ss, 600 as

getting more out of their sweets
than we are. If we should adopt the
new, sugary strain which has
been developed, it is figured that
North Carolina can really make
money from the crop. We are much
nearer the large eastern makets;
our people know how to grow the
sweets; and, we have the soil and
climate adapted to their produc-
ton.
1t is a fact, also, that silage may
be made from the vines and the
Gull roots may be fed to livestock,
especially hogs. Since our live
stock production can grow no fas-
ter than the feed supplies devel-
oped, it may be that the sweets
also will have place as a live
stock feed. One of the present
obstacles is that our growers have
a tendency to plant strings and
small potatoes from which to get
the plants which are to set in the
fields. Like begets like and strings
do not produce No. sweets. As
matter of fact many of the
plants from such seed stock die
when set into the open fields. Pro-
auction per acre is lower than
when good seed are bedded.
