V _ With the United States on the brink of the great world war, the fact stands out clearly that food and feedatuffs will all this year and probaly for years to come be in de mand at higher prices than have been known for fifty years. War has always meant high prices for I the things we eat, and high as price are now, actual war will prob ably put them higher still. Near ly every day prices on flour, toMr meat, lard, hay and similar comnjojP ities are marked up, and the end to nowhere in sight. The situation affords a lesson to the Southern farmer and likewise points plainly to his duty. As we have many timqs pointed out, no farmer who does not first provide food for himself and his family and feed for his livestock is likely never to get any where financially. And now that food and feed prices are no high, we may well consider not only amply supplying our own needs but producing a surplus "to sell. Hogs are now selling for fifteen cents a pound on foot, and nowhere ffi AlAertca can?they be raised bet' ter than right here in the cotton K?lt Corn is bringing $1.40 a bushel, oats 80 cents, hay $18 to $30 a ton, and Southern farmeri have conditions for producing these at a lower cost than the Northern or Western fanner. The plain truth is that Southerr farmers are face to face with th( opportunity of a lifetime. Everj thing they can and should product is high-priced and likely to r'emaii so; and for the farmer who farmi right there should be few things t< buy. Some cotton should and wil be raised, and if we feed ourselves our stock and onr soils, what cottoi we do grow will be clear cash. Will you, Brother Parmer, se and seize this golden opportunity The time to decide is now. RUB-MY-TISM I Will cur* your Bbramatisn Ne'iralgia, Headaches, Crampi . Colic, Sprains.

Price 25< FLY SWATTING TIME "Not only fly time ia here, but .he flies thempelves," says the State Soard of Health, "and unless these irst arrivals 4% mot with swatters, j-aps and otlv means of extinction, | .here will be Billions to swat next , week or in a ftw more warm days. , Mow is decidedly the right time to nrat flies," says the Board, "when Jtay can be counted on the Angers wd not when they become countless , tordes. Swatters get individual ties, those that come early and , itay late, and those that slip in at the screened doors, but swatters ift useless where there are no icreens and where there am no ef forts made to fight flies.", "By f ar the best means of fight ng early flies and preventing them from coming^pd staving," empha lezes the Board, is cleanlinea, that ibsolute cleanliness that is starva tion to the fly. What is sometimes passable and hfermiaes in the way of filth or lack of cleanliness in cold weather becomes dangerous and in tolerable in hot weather. In other words, fllth of any kind is decidedly more filthy and* dangerous in sum mer than in - winter. One of the' first thoughts of the careful house wife on the first warm day is, what is there about the house that may be food for flies. She knows that whatever becomes a feeding place for flies becomes also a breeding place, and that flies are attracted only where there is something to Mt. ? / "Get out your fly swatters and use them now," is the advice of the Board. "If you haven't (rood ones left over from last year, buy new one now and don't wait until your house is full of flies to be reminded that you haven't any. The next step is to clean up and keep so per fectly clean that' when flies come they will either starve or refuse to tarry." The Community Service Bill The Community Service bill pass is one of the important constructive measures of the session. It embodies one of the treat ideals of Thoman Jefferson and it has been campaigned far wide and wide of late years by Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer. Here is at last a legal basis for organized community life in the country region* of North Carolina fc? the first thing of the sort in the Mouth in our whole history so far as we know. It has to do with a fundamental necessity in our social development. Salemburg in Sampson and Phila delphus in Robeson are two rare country communities that have al ready been organizing far ahead of this action of oar law makers. What communities will follow next? What the Law Providea. The bill provides for the election of three directors of each commun ity who shall execute the ordinaces of the community. At each public meeting oi-inc .registered voter* of the community, , it reads, they ahall have a right tc I adopt, amend or repeal ordinances i provided such action is not Incon . sistant with the laws of North Car , olina or of the United States, con cerning the fallowing things: thi i public roads of the community, reg ) 'alations intended to promote thi r public health, public protection, tb ? abatement of nuisances, the care o i paupers,aged or infirm persons, thi i coming of new settlers into the com > mnnlty, the regulation of vagrancy | the enforcement of the state or ns , tlonal laws; ' the collection of con: i munity taxes, the establishment an support of public libraries, parki e halls, playgrounds, fairs and oth? ? agencies of recreation, educatioi health, music art, and morals. 1 No. 666 I, Thit it ? prescription prepared Mpecla d lor MALARIA or CHILIS * F[V( FW? or eix doeee will break uny csea, a ?

There are three things which, if kept in mind, will assist very mater ially in getting proper proportions of plant food elements for* different crops and different types of soil. As to types of soil, our Experi ment Station, with its several branch stations in the . JSute, has found that the stiff clay soils need a high percentage of phosphorus in the fertilizer. But another way, we would say that they do not need a high percentage of nitrogen. If properly handled, the red, stiff soils that contain large amounts of pot ash can be made to give %p that potash. Our Experiment Station work also shows that our sandy loam soils need a large proportion of nitrogen, not very much phosphorous and con siderable potash. The kind of crop must also be considered?that is, whether it is one being grown for seed, fflr fruit, or for foliage. It should be remem bered that one of the functions of phosphorous is to help in seed pro duction and to hasten maturity. Nitrogen is largely concerned with stalk and leaf growth. Potash helps to give quality and color to the fruit, and helps to strengthen the stalk. By remembering these special func tions of the fertilizer elements, a fertilizer can be gotten up that will be adapted the soil and crop. For instance, if a plant does not mature early enough, and stays green late in the season, it is an indication that more phosphorous is needed in the fertilizer. If the fruit is small, knotty, etc., it - may need more potash. If it is pale and does not grow vigorously, it very likely needs more nitrogen, etc. Farmers who will keep these few Rroperly can thus make better use of their fertilizer.? .

Castello, Jenkins are their names, Ferguson is their theacher: Their language flowed like to the Thames Or like unto a preacher's. They said, "Railroads Should not be OwneJ," " Mars Hill Aid, "Sure, They Should be." They paoke of stock and money loaned From Baltimore to the W. & P. D.
