Negro Hank Clones. '' ' ' v Wilson, N. C? Sept. 4.?State bank examiners closed the Commercial Bank, local institution controlled by Negroes, late this afternoon ending h thorough examination and audit of the books and an investigation of a Are last night which dumaged and destroyed certain valuable records in the bank vault. The Are was discovered this morning when the bank opened for business. Chief A. L. Lancaster of the Wilson Are department conducted an investigation and after examining the damaged books called in bank examiners who 'closed the institution. J. J>. Held and H. S. Stanback, Negroes, president and cashier respectively of the bank, expressed belief that rats and matches had caused the Are in the vault. Reid said he was out of the city yesterday and Stanback asserted thnt the books wcru placed in their proper places in the vault yesterday. The books and other records were found on the vault floor this morning.

The Vicissitudes of Poultry RaisingI thought it would l>e u pretty good idea to have my non-laying fowls culled from the dock, so last week I sent off and got a professional culler, and when he got through, I had 1 hen and 2 roosters left. It begins to j look like my chance for fall eggs is I rather slim, but we will be kept pretty i busy baking the 14 hens that have I decided to retire from the egg-producing industry. The poultry business is a funny business anyhow. Last spring when the time came for my hens to surrender some of their fruit, I made seveval nice nests for them to use, und put them at the most convenient places possible and all in the world the old huzzies had to do was " walk up ai pretty ladder und enter the depository which 1 provided, and turn around und surrender her contribution. Hut, believe it or not, nary it hen ever laid in my wonderful nests. One of them laid 3 eggs under the hen house, and 2 others laid 4 eggs apiece in a bunch of trash in the fence corner, and then all 3 of them took ui> setting. The other hens did not lay a. n)l, but they inspected the nests closely from day to day, and in factsome of them tried 'cm out, hut gav up the idea of laying anything. I simply don't believe I am cut out to run a hennery. I have treated my poultry fail in every way. I have fed and watered them and have sprayed their premises occasionally, and they have had all the oyster shells the agricultural eolleges said that hens required for manufacturing shells. They got fresh water every day and seemed perfectly happy ull the time, and if there were ever any contented hens, mine were that, but laying eggs was not their duty. It is possible they were brought up that way. It is not the fault of my stock. I have pedigreed chickens, and judging from what the dealers who sold me say. some of my Red Island Rhodes and Orfbuckingtons can trace their ancestry back to Nora's Ark. A second cousin to 2 of my Plymouth Rocks, Bertha Mae of Wisconsin, 30,4 eggs last year and was just, about, ready to lay the 365th one when a fire cracker busted in her midst,' and scared her so, she could not lay till the next day. I am going to try to stay in the poultry industry one more season, ami if I don't have better luck, I think I'll run- for the legislature. Anybody can make a success in the legislature. Why, the salary alone is $400.00, and, you know, there's always a bunch of lobbyist pulling for copperatious ansoforth, and I see no reason in the world why I couldn't clear something like 2 thousand dollars inducing the session. MOON-ISM. 1 know how the moon looks and also know how moonshine tastes, but I plead guilty to ignorance when it comes to knowing what influence the moon has on earthly things, but still ?I know what kind of influence moonshine has on earthly human beings, not from experience, however. Some farmers (believe some terrible things about the moon. Uncle Joe is the moon-iest man I ever saw. He says that he'd rather run the risk of having no corn at all than to plant it in the light of the moon. It would be a plumb waste to do that. He knows folks who planted corn on the dark of the moon and made 50 bushels per acre, while the adjoining farmer planted his on the light of the moon and not :i shoot ever showed up on the little spindly ?talk>. The moon affects nearly everything. so says Uncle Joe. He was tell ing me about 2 young men friends ol his: one of them got religion on th< light of the moon and it never laste< him but 3 weeks and the other fellov got his religion on the dark of th< moon, and he turned out to be a ftrv preacher. He went further and re ferrcd me to 2 girls who got married Ida Mae was led to the altar in th . dark of the moon and now she an< ) her old man have t? fine children, bu Sudie I.ee took Jim Jones unto her f self in the holy bands of matrimon i in the dark of the moon and Jim qui 1 her and ran off with another woma in exactly 6 weeks. f Uncle Joe told me about killing - hog on the light of the moon in 1 and S'J. and when he tried to fry rasher of bacon that came from th side of that swine, it would shrivi up so?it would look like a sma snail shell and where he expected I get 15 gallons of lard, he got onlypint of mighty sorry grease. He sai the sausage and chittlings that h _ -2S:-* ? -i FARMERS' HOLD MEETING. At Mt. 1'ihKuh School To v OrganicEvening CIuh In Agriculture. ,Z 'S? i'* Kershaw, r. f. d. (J, September 80 The furtnern of the community met at the high school building1 Friday night for the purpose of organizing a far* mere' evening class. The Vocational Agriculture teacher, R. M. Foster, j presided at the meeting. The following officers were elected: President, W. T. Holley; Vice president, "R. p. Philips. After the ( lection of officers the agricultural teacher iqd the discussion on "How to Improve the Soil in M'. Pisgah Community." He also presented, by the use of charts, experimental data to aid the farmers in solving their problems on soil improvement. Orders were placed for 500 pounds of vetch and Austrian wiptej peas, The farmers realize that they must grow part of thejr fertilizer instead of buying it. ^ Plans were made for a social period I during future meetings. After the discussion on Soil* Improvement, the farmers were given a chance to state soirie of their problems that they would like to have discussed. The agricultural teacher will work out and chart experiment station data on these problems for thine xt 'Electing. The next meeting will be , Friday night, at seven-thirty o'clock. The growing of sm^l grain*: will.be discussed. The following wer present Friday night: J. M. Robert-. Z. A. Catoe, W. T. Holley, R. D. Phii | ips, .John Clay, S. M. Carnes, Enoch Roberts, W. P.

Clooding, extension poul tryman, who states that this is believed to be the greatest numbly <,t eggs layed by a hen owned and bred in the South. With the establishment of this record, hens in South Carolina that lay 300 or more eggs are no longer myths. Out of 1200 hens which were .-tXAftped oa the Glen wood fantutfkM* passed the 300-mark with records of 320, 309 and 305 eggs. "Do you know what it meafis for a hen to lay 320 eggs in a year?" asks Mr. Gooding. "It means that she must lay over 6ix eggs each week and over 26 eggs per month throughout the year. Only a vigorous hen with unusual vitality and ability to. eat and digest large amounts of feed can make a 320-egg record.. "In addition to the inherited character to lay a large number of eggs, feeding, housing and management play a large part. The hens on Glenwood farm are provided with the best of these necessities." Tire Wrecks Building. Spartanburg, Sept. 26.?Occupants of the Andrews, building, one of the largest office buildings in the city, were thrown into a panic this morning when the explosion of a tire on a passenger bus Which was passing hurled a tire rim through the largo plate glass window of the Central National Bank. Persons on the seventh floor of the building were shaken by the explosion and those on other floors rusher! in panic to the elevator and stairway exits. Order was restored when the cause of the disturbance became known. The front of the bank was demolished and several persons inside had narrow escapes from falling glass.

J. 1*. I^aMaater, chief of the dairy division here, in his talk at Farmers' Day held recently at the Fee Dee Kxperlment Station, Florence. Frof. I^aMaster aaid in I part: In my estimation there is a mis. conception as to the meaning of diversified farming among many farmers and agricultural workers in this /section. Some believe that they are diversifying tfieir agriculture when they plant two or more | cash crops instead of the one, such as' tobacco Or cotton. Cfop producton alone, regardless of the number of,different kinds of crops grown, cannot result in a true diversification because all crops compete with one another for land,.capital, labor and power. Practically all crops are planted in the spring, cultivated during the summer, and harvested in the fall, thus requiring the essentials for production, harvesting and marketing during the same seasons of the year. Surveys at Clemson College indicate that 117 days of man labor per year are needed to produce a cotton crop. This labor is distributed as follows: .January 1 day February ... 1 day March 3 days ( April 9 days ! May 15 days .J une .. . 22 days ! July 17 days j August 5 days ! September 14 days October 19 days November 10 day3 fiecember 1 day It is obvious from this labor requirement that there are six months in the year when the cotton farmer has no profitable employment. To get greater incomes on our farms it is necessary for the farmers to be profitably employed for a greater number of days during the year than is possible when plant production is' the only source of income. From these facts it is deduced that true diversification means the balancing of plant production with livestock production. Plant production must come before-livestock production, because the plants furnish food material for livestock, from which they manufacture human foods, such as milk, meat, and eggs. Nature has promoted the diversified 1 system which uses plants and animals. Livestock must live throughout the year. They require more human labor for their care and attention during the winter months when barn feeding is necessary and when protection from the elements is needed. In the spring when labor is* needed for plant production the weather becomes mild and the pastures green, thus releas: ing labor from the care of livestock to be used in plant production. The kind of livestock to be used in this diversified plan will vary in different sections of the state. The dairy cow, the hog, and the hen will probably play the most important I part in this plan. In order to determine the returns j from dairy cows in small herds or farms in this state which were selling cream to creameries, the extension service of Clemson College se. cured records on five farms during ? 1928. These farms were located ir Dorchester, Darlington, Laurens Greenville and York counties. These 1 farms averaged 7.6 milking cows pei farm during the year. The averag( cash income for cream from each cov for twelve months was $136.08. Th< average cash sales of c'owb and calves per cow milkod in these herds for the j year was $20.10. The value of the ' skim-milk fed, figured at 4 cents per gallon was $17.76 per cow for the! year. The average whole milk used 1 in the homes, figured at 25 cents per J gallon, was $21.60 per cow for the j year. The average value of the ma- j nure figured at '$2.50 per ton, saved I and applied to the land, was $16.80 J per cow for the year. These farmers ; purchased feed over and . above food j l produced on the farms to the amount 1 of $44.^0 per cow for the year. The S total cash income, which is that re- j ceived from cream and for cattle sold ' during the year on these farms, was < $156.21 per cow. Deducting from this cash return the $44.20 spent for feed, we have left a cash income per cow of $111.96. In addition to this there is the receipt ftoitt skim-milk, whole milk used in the home, and fertilizer in the form of manure, to the value of $56.14, or a total net income of $168.12. ' The $111.96 cash net income per cow would pay the following prices for feed and labor necessary for the care and feeding of each of these cows for the season: Pasture, $7.36, 2 tons pf hay at $20.00, $40.00; 1 ton home-grown grains, $40.00; 123 hours of human labor at 20c per hour, $24.60. Therefore, cows under this mnrketing plan will pay splendid cash market prices for pasture, hay, grain and labor, and will in addition supply $56.16 per cow to the farm as net profit in the form of by-products. Dogs Mangle Woman Union, Sept. 17.?Katie Jeter,. a negro woman who cooks for the family of W. M. Butler, of Carlisle, was seriously bitten by dogs Saturday evening. It was feared she would die before medical aid could 'be reached. She is in a hospital. Her body was frightfully torn by the three hound dogs, belonging to Mr. Butler. She had gone out into the yard to feed the dogs when they began to attack her, inflicting terrible gashes on her ' legs and body. 1 Will Curtis, farmer of Lowndes 1 county, Miss., faces a life sentence following his conviction on a charge - that he murdered his daughter's in fant and threw it in a well.
