' Good July Gardening
jClemapn College, June 25.?Remarking
that unless we produce a
good living on the farm, in large
measure our farm families willr go
whhout much that they need and
Want to eat, A. E. .Schilletter, extension
horticulturist, malkes these important
suggestions toward good July
gardening.
"Keep all the garden crops growing.
Don't let them become stunted
for lack of sufficient food. Nitrogen
is the most needed food of most garden
crops and an abundant and readily
available supply should be on
hand at all times. Nearly always!
the garden crops, can be much bene-'j
fited by the application of sulphate
of ammonia or nitfnte of soda.
"When you prepare your fall garden,
apply a liberal amount of w^lldecomposed
manure. -Be -fHir-e-it- 4s
well decayed or it will burn^ ^he
plants. The advantage of manure in
preventing drying of soil can be
better appreciated when we know that
100 pounds of sand will take up 25
pounds of water; 100 pounds of clay,
50 pounds of water; 100 pounds of
organic matter (manure), 190 pounds
of water. ^
"When you plant your fall crop of
Irish potatoes cut the seed pieces
larger than you would for spring
planting. Do not expose the cut surface
aqd allow them to lose moisture.
Press them well into the soil. Your
late crop of Irish potatoes should be
planted before August 1, preferably
about July 20 or 25.
"Good varieties for July planting#
include Lookout Mountain and Irish
Cobbler potatoes; Extra Early Purpie
iop, winter ADerueen ana wnito
Egg turnips; Improved Purple Top
- rutHbagair; -Bountiful nnd Stringlcss
Gwnpod beans; Crosby's Egyptian
j ar.J Detroit Darkv Red beets; Big
! Bo-ton, Mignonette and New York*
i lettuce; -Chantenay and Corcless carjrot-;
Sto well's Evergreen, Country
| Gentleman and Trucker's Favorite
corr;_ White Push and Giant Summer
Crookneck squash."
Josephus Daniels, one of the early
arrivals at (Chicago, said he would
not oppose a prohibition resubmission
plank in the Democratic platform, as
a delegate at large from North Carolina,
although he is as dry as ever
and is the man who dried up the
United States navy, when he was in
Wilson's cabinet. He said the people
have a right to vote on any important
subject at any time, and he
is willing to abide by their decision,
without fear that it will be repeal.
, "This much is certain," the North
r Carolina publisher said, ^Sentiment
' againat the eighteenth amendment i*
not nearly so strong as the recent
wet stampede would indicate.*'"-1 ??

General News Notes ]
A~. " .
?*?
iCongress has abundonod all hopo
for an early adjournment. There are
22 senators absent at the Chicago
convention, and vital legislation can 1
not be passed until they return, the 1
time for which is problematical. '
Nertt Friday,' July 1, begins a new <
fiscal year, when new appropriations 1
must be available, and only one of
the annual supply bills has been pass- 1
ed and sent to the president, and that
one a little one of the interior de- 1
partment carrying only one per cent
of the annual cost of government.
Six other bills are in conference, and
there await action jn the senate, two
of them big ones about the post office
and the treasury department.
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, the
only man who ever saw both the
north and the south pole, who spent
six months at Little America in the
antarctic, is attending the DeVn&cratic
convention at Chicago for a change,
and to see how his brother, the governor
of Virginia, is treated as a candidate
for the presidential nomination.
At the close of the reunion at Richmond
of the United "Confederate veterans
and the Sons of Confederate
Veterans they named General Homer
T. Atkinson, of Petersburg, Va., and
Dr. William Dancey, of Savannah,
Ga., as their respective commanders
in chief for the 1933 'Confederate reunion,
its place to be determined later.
A $125,000 fire occurred in Lenoir,
N. iC., when the Stubbs Venper company
warehouse, the storage plant of
the Atlantic Refining company and several
smaller plants burned furiously
last Friday night. The Hickory
Are department went to the aid of
the Lenoir department. The veneer
plant made radio cabinets and its
contents burned rapidly.
- The investigation by the iNorth
Carolina attorney general of charges
of big election frauds at the recent
Democratic primary, by means of absentee
ballots, is disclosing that in
some counties a very large number, 1
said to be 1,000, illegal ballots were
cast. A rivalry between precinct
election officials as to who could get
the, most into the box was brought
out.
The American Federation of Labor
in its bulletin sees the recent order of
thecivil service Commission for all
government employees to keep out of
political campaigns on pain of discharge,
an attempt to prevent them
from trying to defeat congressmen
who cut their pay last week., The order
called attention to an old rule of
the civil service commission.

Debtors Forgiven
by Iowa Merchants
Sloan, Iowa, June 24.?All debts on
tho books of their gonoral store, totaling
about $76,000 have been canceled
voluntarily by Mr. and Mrs.
James Hennum and the debtors told
to forget their action. But the beneficiaries
are not forgotting, They
are telling the world about it. Some
offered to pay up, but in each instance
the Hennums refused the money.
"My wife and I beleive in forgiving
and forgetting," Mr. Hennum
just said. The money, it was suggested,
could be turned , over to the
churches or charity if their former
debtors felt that way about it.
Debtors numbered several hundred
and debts ranged from a few cents to
$1,000.
