It is now time to prepare the
land (or the fall seeding of al
falfa If it is to make sufficient
growth to prevent winter killing.
It is best to prepare a well
pulverized, but firm seed bed. If
land has not been limed or a soil
test taken, you should probably
use two tons ground lime per
acre. Fertilize at the rate of 700
to 1000 pounds per acre of
2-12-12 fertilizer containing,
borax. Seed 20 to 30 pounds of
inoculated alfalfa seed per acre
not later than ? August 15 and
cover with a cu] ti packer or light
brush. A harrow may cover the
seed too deep.
Try a small plot of alfalfa on
your farm. It is the "King of Hay
Crops."
COTTON PROSPECTS
The Department of Agriculture
has reported that 20,380,000 acres
of cotton were in cultivation on
July 1, an increase of 14.2 per
cent over 1948. While no forecast
of production W8s made, the
crop would be about 14,770.000
bales of 900 pounds gross weight
if the yield per acre equalled the
five-year (1944-49) average of
269 pounds. Production last year
was 14,686,000 bales compared
with a 10-year average of 12,014
000 bales.
From Our Early Files
Items from Um Democrat of
July 2M. I?10
Miss Bessie Wall of Boomer.
Wilkes county, has been visiting
ther cousin, Miss Royster Critch
er, in Boone.
Miss Ruby Yates, who has been
the guest of Miss Mary Leslie
Pulliam for several days, left for
her ' home at Boomer, Wilkes
county, last Monday.
Mr*. Edgar Shull of Elizabeth
ton, Tenn., has been at the home
of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
F. Hardin of Boone, for several
days. Her husband is expected
next Saturday.
Walter Horton of Wilkesboro,
with his brother. Dr. W. P. Hor
ton and family, have been enjoy
ing a few days rest at the home of
his brother, Mr. J. C. Horton on
New River.
Messrs. Zeb and Grady Farth
ing, who have been employed by
the Wilmington Street Car Com
pany for several months, arrived
last week and will help their fa
ther, Mr. J. W. Farthing, during
his present press of work, which
is very commendable of the young
men.
I Hon. R. N. Page, congressman
from the seventh N. C. district,
will address the citizens of Wa
tauga on the issues of the day at
Boone on Monday, the 8th day
of August 1910, at 12 o'clock.
According to advertisement, a
good crowd of representative Re
publicans from the various town
ships of the county ? all of which,
save two, had delegates present,
met in the courthouse Friday af
ternoon to nominate a candidate
for the Legislature and a full
county ticket, which is done in
rather short order. . . . The ticket
is as follows:
For Representative, W. H. Cal
loway of Foscoe.
For Sheriff, E. R. Eggers of
Beaver Dam.
For Clerk of the Superior
Court: W. D. Farthing of Shaw
nee haw.
For Register of Deeds, W. R
Gragg of Boone.
For Treasurer, W. N. Thomas of
North Fork. r
For county commissioners, T.
L. Day of Blue Ridge; Will T.
Winkler of Watauga, and J. M.
Klay of Boone.
For coroner, J. G. Vannoy of
Booqe.
Hon. R. L. Dough ton, who has
been nominated for Congress by
the Democrats of the eighth dis
trict, is being confused with Hon.
R. A. Dough ton, his brother. R.
A. Dough ton is a lawyer and has
for jnanp years been in public
life. R. L. Doughton is a plain
business man, but a strong and
convincing speaker, and quite as
able a man as R. A. He will
give his opponent, Mr. Cowles,
all he wants, and maybe a little
more.
FARM ACCIDENTS
Whether you realize it or not,
a farm is just about the most
dangerous place a family can live
and work, according to safety
experts, who report that about
18,000 farm persons are killed
each year in work and home ac
cidents and in automobile mis
haps on farm roads. Thousands
of others are injured. Non-fatal
farm accidents cost 17,000,000
working days in 1948, according
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The cost for medical care, but
not including the lost time, was
$30,000,000.

DROWNING RESCUER
Princess Anne, Md. When
Marguerite Shaley, 23, of Laurel,
Del., fell from the end of a pier,
Clarence Sandy Webster, 26, of
Princess Anne, dived in after her.
She couldn't swim and when she
climbed on Webster's shoulders,
he went under. Two other men,
James Farlowe and Myron Cau
sey, Jr., went in after Miss Whal
ey, but Webster had disappear
ed. A quick dive by State Troop
er T. H. Foxwell located him.
After* 15 minutes of artificual
respiration, Webster was reviv
ed and taken to a hospital. Miss
Whaley was not hurt.
Cool, damp weather in recent
weeks has been very favorable
for the development of boll
weevils in North Carolina.
CORN SURPLUS
Unfavorable weather marked
the current wheat surplus off the
prospective list, but an official
crop report forecast the possibi
lity of a near-record corn crop
this year, 3,530,185,000 bushels.
This raised the possibility that
supplies of livestock feed grains
this year may reach a surplus
level requiring action to cut back
production next year.
