IJi! was a stronif nnrtinn nn1 uaj
nl leavt .until' the world war, a Bryan
ajjherent.
Major Hale was ed'tor of the old
't daily newspaper in North Caro
lina, and those who were familiar
ith it during the many years of his
connection noted its peculiar make-u-'p
and the space devoted to matters
o'f historic interest. Readers of the
(server got solid reading for their
ironey. Files of the newspaper ought
t;.' be invaluably to the historians o
?i rth Carolina.
'The Fayetteville Observer departed
from its tradition about the time the
war broke and Camp Bragg wa-5 es
tablished near there. E. J. Hale, .Jr.,
a' splendid young man, disposed' of
tf.e property and it passed into oth
hands. The Observer is as modern
a any North Carolina dailv tcvlay.
Major Halt4 built a newspaper ui
solid worth, but to most editors it
seemed more like a paper devoted to
research work than to publication of
ni'ws. As long as Major Hale stayed
(11 the job, he gave his readers the
things he thought they ought to
rad.

RESULTS OF SOY I JEAN TEST
(By J. W. Hendricks, Farm Agent)
;' As a moans of creating interest in
soybeans a variety test was planted
last spring in the farm of Mr. C. G.
Thornburg, Cor.over, N. C. The ob
ject ;f this test was to compare
the yield and other merits of diM"
erent varieties' for this section,
These soybeans were all planted on
May 10th. The fertilizer used was
300 lbs. of 10 per cent acid and 100
lbs of cotton seed meal per acre. All
varieties were tested alike, and the
land was very uniform. No part
of the plants were cut for hay so
no definite information can be given
in regard to the comparison of hay
production.
The Virginia produced 4.5 bush
els per acre, requiring 114 days to
mature.
The Hamberiandt prodied 28 f
bushels per acre requiring 120 d.iys
to mature.
The Hlack Eyebrow produced 21.7
bushels' per acre requiring 1 0-1 days
to mature.
The Mammoth Yellow produced K
bushels per acre, requiring 143 days
to mature. The Mammoth Yellow has
been the? most popular variety in
North Carolina for several years un
til the last few years. But this
variety -is very rapidly being replaced
by other varieties such as the Vir
ginian and Ilanvberlandt. Either of
these varieties will produce in most
cases more seed, make a much bet
ter quality of hay ab' the stems are
not so woody and will mature from
two to three weeks earlier.
The Mammoth Yellow will perhaps
make a larger growth, to be used
as a.-green manure crop, than the
other varieties But ranks very
low in seed production, and quality
of hay. The Mammoth Yellow also
ranks low as a variety for hog pasture.

The famous Danville (111.) district
began sending Mr. Cannon to con
gress in 137-J. Fifteen years ago Mr.
Cannon was heard to say, while in -a
reminiscent mood that Senator Cullom
and himself were the only lilino &' men
left of that old guard, who knew Ab
raham Lincoln; and Lincoln has been
dead nearly 57 years. Today Mr.
Cannon is the sole ' survivor of the
Illinois group that was in Lincoln's
nprinal foilowinc. He became state's
attorney for the 27th judicial district!

Washington mostly in i',orm a phe

house will not seem the same with
out him, yet that faintly expresses
the situation. For the eight years
of his iron speakership the House
was Mr. Cannon and Mr. Cannon was
the house. His dramatic fall had
elements of dignity that preserved
for him the respect of the country.
Few people can now remember the
name of his immediate predecessor in
the speaker's chair, yet no one who
reads the country's political history

the quest goes on.
After a season, of damp and dreary

was a welcome visitor in these parts.
Streets and sidewalks, which yester

corners.
The mercury this morning shot at
a cold wave, but the best it could do
was 27 rlegrees above zero. At 5

The service, at once scientific and

Baskerville's special researches had
to do with the causes and preven

with the purifying of ether as an an.es
