WEDNESDAY MAR. 20, 1929- jcegislators In 1834 and 1929 Legislatures improve with the passing ol' the years, even if human nature is more or less the same in all generations. In a diary of a Massachusetts man, Ezra Towne, who looked in on the Legislature at Raleigh in 1834, says that he found the legislators "a rather rough looking set of men and unintel- ligent, the most of whom look- \u25a0ed like they liked whiskey bet- ter than legislating," but with- ad "a pretty jolly set of men fond of talking." Legislators' pay was then $3 a day, but they paid only $lO a month for their board. "Many members kept their brandy and whiskey bot- tles in their rooms," says the (diary, "and visit each other and bottles pretty often." The world grows better, but perfection is ahead. There is a marked reduction in "bottles," and now people drink only to keep oIT the "flu," whereas, ac- cording to Ezra, they had no such excuse in 1834. Still as Ezra says "legislators in 1834 are fond of talking." Same way in 11)29. l)o they talk better now and on larger themes? News and Observer.

News and Personals Of Walnut Cove R. 1 Follow the Season With Garden Crops Raleigh, March 18.?Time- loss, or planting the garden crop according t<> its season, is one of the very satisfactory ways of having a good garden. "This means planting each crop according to its climatic requirements," says E. B. Mor- I row, extension horticulturist at State College. "Such crops as english peas, raddishes, spi- nach, and lettuce require cool weather for their best develop- ment. Don't make the mistake ! of planting head lettuce so late that the plants will go to seed instead of producing heads. Strong plants should be ready for setting now in most parts of the State. Lettuce also likes plenty of plant food and if good heads are wanted, the soil must be rich. Side-dress the crop with readily available nitrogen, such as nitrate of soda, as soon as the plants have become established. This is also a good practice for early cab- bage and most of the other leafy vegetables." Walnut Cove Route 1, March 18.?Mr. and Mrs. I'ercie Mabe are the proud parents of twins, a boy and girl. Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Duggins, of Walkertown, visited Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Duggins Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Covington had an all day chopping Satur- day. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. D.

H. Covington Tuesday after- noon. Two cars of drain tile have been purchased by a group of Martin County famjers during the past month. i Those who have never grown carrots should make a small planting this year, says Mr. Morrow. The seed are planted at the same time as the beets and the Chantenay variety is well-suited to Carolina condi- tions. The Long Season is probably one of the best varie- ties of beets. It remains sweet and tender over a long period and is primarily a home garden ' type. Ventilating the hot bed on the bright sunny days is impor- jtant. Mr. Morrow says that where the hot bed has only poor ' ventilation, the plants will like- ? ly damp-off at the ground or tall leggy plants will be pro- duced. Vigorous, stocky plants jare best for setting. Where jthe tomato plants have begun Ito crowd in the hotbed, trans- ? fer them to the cold frame. Set them -four inches apart/" and . keep the frame covered at night and on cold days. Early and thorough prepara- tion of the soil also means much l in getting the cantaloupes and watermellons off to a good ! start. Both of these crops re- ! spond to heavy applications of ; stable manure. Three or four j tons of manure per acre and a ; handful of superphosphate to | each hil! will give good results, says Mr. Morrow. i I # i Special Service At Methodist Church Every member of all the Danbury churches is cordially i >'ite'J to attend the Special ice at the Methodist church iiu 11 a. m., Sunday, March 24.

State Tobacco Sales Totaled 484,100,000 Raleigh, March 15.?The fin- al sales reports indicate about. 25,000.000 move pounds ol' to- bacco was produced in North Carolina than was estimated even in December at 475,000,- 000 pounds. The warehouses actually handled about 484,- 100,000 pounds, or 12,000,- 000 more than the previous year's record crop. It is said that on the Dan- ville, Va., tobacco market fully one-third of the sales are made up of North Carolina produc- tion. Thus North Carolina had approximately 500,000,000 pounds of bright leaf tobacco produced within its borders for the crop year of 1928. Poisoned Wheat Bran Controls Cut Worms I Ilaleigh, March 18.?One of the home gardner's most d«>- structive enemies will shortly appear with the coming of the tender garden crops and will cause much damage unless fought with a simple remedy. "Wheat bran poisoned with paris green and distributed about the newly set plants at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds per acre has given us our best con- trol with cutworms," says C. 11. Brannon. extension entomo- logist at State College. "The bait is made up by using fifty pounds of the bran to one pound of paris green and adding enough water to thoroughly moisten the mixture. Lead arsenate and calcium arsenate do not give good results and are not used. The bran and poison is first mixed thorough- ly while dry in a tub or other vessel and then gradually mois- tened with water until all the bran is damp." This poisoned mixture should be wet enough to crumble read- ily when squeezed with the hand but should not be a soft mush, cautions Mr. Brannon. It is best to use the hands for mixing, though a paddle may be used. Do not breathe any of the poison if possible and the hands and arms should be fre- quently washed with a portion 'on which the average price is based. Greenville has the most warehouses (nine) with Wilson and Winston-Salem tying with eight each. Greenville and Wilson mark- ets together increase their farmers' sales by almost 17.- 000.000 pounds, which is i sizeable quantity for two med- ium markets to sell together. Mebane's $22.08 average price led the state. Fuquay Springs came second. These two markets usually hold lirst places. Greenville led on the 10,000.000 pound class markets. The state average was $18.78 for li>2B and $22.00 for the previous season's total sales. This indicates slightly more than these averages for the ex- clusive farmers' sales. There was an increase of two houses shown in the 151 oper- ating during the past season. The average per house was about 0.200,000 pounds. The 4:1 markets averaged 11,280,000 puonds. The old bright belt sold 156,777,577 pounds at an average of $18.15. The new (eastern) belt handled 280,737,- 672 pounds, averaging l $20.03 for the farmers' sales, while the Smith Carolina belt, includ- ing markets in Columbus. Bladen and Roberson counties, sold 43,584,614 pounds at $14.18 per hundred weight. The total, including resales, amounted to 536,984,236 pounds FOR ECONOMICA L '^TRANSPORTATION JL (hiarter Million NEW SIX CYLINDER CHEVROLETS since JAN.

In the demonstrations where Mr. IJrannon has used this mix- ture with success, he has ap- I plied the bait several days be- fore the plants are set or at the latest on the same day. Thj applications are made late in ;the evening so that the bait will be fresh and attractive when the worms become active. In applying the bait, caro should be exercised not to throw it upon the plants or against the stems. This bait will continue to be effective for several days but should be re- peated iit once after a heavy rain, says Mr. lirannon. Checks totaling from $5,000 to SB,OOO per month are report- ed from those counties whero poultry cars have been running regularly this spring.
