AHDSKIE TOBACCO MARKET OPENED IBM FOR CURRENT SEMI SALE NOW IN PROGRES Opening Sale Probably The Largest in The History of Local Market?Good Prices Beinf Psid?All Leading Companies Represented. As this paper goes to press today the first sale of leaf tobacco on the Ahoskle market for the season of 1917 is in progress. The floors of both warehouses are taxed to the utmost and this is expected to be the largest opening vale ever con ducted on the local market. - Since early nicrht wagons and carts have been arriving and warehousemen have been busy unloading and weighing the tobacco. Buyers representing all of the leading tobacco companies are here to get their share of the first sale, and many of the supervisors are present to advise their buyers as to price, grade, etc. They all seem eager to buy and are giving prices equal to those given on any of the large markets. They came here' direct from the larger markets as Wilson, Rocky Mount and Green ville, and prices are expected to range along with those paid at the other named places. Proprietors of both warehouses are exerting their utmost to build up here at Ahoskie a market that will compare favorably with the other larger markets of Eastern North Carolina, and they are seek ing the legitimate co-operation of citizens of this town and whole com munity. They realize what a good market will do for any live town, and they shown have that tobac co sales in Ahoskie provide a migh ty stimulus to the industrial prog ress and financial conditions. Every line of business in Ahoskie is affected by the sale of tobacco qn the local floors. Money by the thousand dollars is turned loose here every year that other wise would perhaps be paid out and spent in other places. The banks in Ahos kie have progressed on account of the tobacco market here and they will freelv admit it and advertise it so that others may know of the benefit derived from a live market. Every business house in town has increased its sale by reason of the tobacco warehouses here. R>?al estate men have profited by * the coming of the .tobacco people to Afioakie. Indeed every line of en deavor is the better on account of the tobacco market here. It is an asset to the town and community. Let every person in Ahobkie pull for more tobacco on the local floors each day. Talk tit up and boost the Ahoskie market. It's helping you; it means more to the buyers and? warehousemen; and the tobacco farmer receives more for his tobac CALLED HORE MEN FOR ARMY The local "exemption Board of Hertford County has mailed out notices to 200 more registrants to appear at Winton for examination Thursday. It was found early in the process of exemption that more men would hav6 to be called in or der to secure Hertford County's quota, and notices were sent to two hundred more men Monday. The local board have been busy every day passing on the exemption claims, and up until Saturday night had not completed the first list of 266. It is generally thought that five or six hundred men will have to be summoned before the Board in order to secure the necessary number on the first call. J. N. Vann, of Ahoakie, has been appointed by Governor Bickeit to serve on the Exemption Board in the place of T. E. Vann of Como, who waa forced to resign on account of III health. " WINTON. WAVELETTS ?

Williams has been accepted for the second Officers Training Camp at Fort Oglethope and has been ordered by the War Department to report for training on the 27th of August. This gen tleman soughtto get in the first camp, but filed his application too late; but he was determined to get the training which will stand him in good when he is sent to France to battle with the bloody Germans. Knowing his keen de sire to be accepted at this camp, the HERALD congratulates him on thus securing his orders to report. Mr. Williams was elected Mayor of the'town of the Ahoskie at thejast municipal election which was held in May, and his going creates a va cancy which will shortly be filled by appointment by the Town Council, consisting of Robt. Holldmon, J. H. Roberson and G. J. Newbern, f Those of his friends who are at all familiar with the physical and and mental qualities of Williams doubt not that he will secure with ease one of the higher offices, which will be dealt out to those composing this camD. "Big Williams" as he was familiarly called in college was a hero on the gndion field and a dangerous opponent' on the track. Not only is he well fitted physically but his capacity to lead has been demonstrated by the positions held by him since he has made Ahoskio his home, among them being prin cipal of the Ahoskie High School, Sunday School Teacher and Superin tendent, and lately Mayor of the town. He has been associated with W. W. Rogers in the practice of law for the past two years. Mayor Williems left Ahoskie Sun day, going to his -former home in Chapel Hill. From there he wiil accompany his mother for a few days trip to Asheville. He is not expected to return to Ahoskie until after the completion of his course at the "training camp. Homelessness in America. Our landless and homeless multi tudes in North Carolina, in town and country regions, as exhibited in the University News Letter Au gust 1, seems to have taken our readers by surprise. A score or more of letters are al aeady on our desk asking how North Carolina ranks in this matter among the states of the Union. These facts challenge the atten tion on part of virjle thinkers in the field of education, manufacture, civic life and church circles. This lack of /arm-ownership in our country regions and of home ownership in our mill villages and in our town and city centers?what are the causes, the consequences, and the remedies? How far does the homeless estate of 55 million people in the United States lie in individual defiencies? in the lack of industry, thrift, so briety, personal integrity, and the like? How far does it lie in the ra pid increase of land values that puts home and farm ownership be yond the reach of likely tenants and renters in our country regions and city centers??University New? Letter. A Card of Thanks. I take this method of thanking the good Bretheren of St. Johns Church for a' generous pounding which consisted of 147 pounds of bacon, hams, shoulders and sides. Surely I have not words to express my appreciation, for it was such a gift at these sfreneous times. May the Lord bless every one who con tributed to this] cause and I hope I may be able to serve them In some acceptable manlier. I also want to thank Bro. Jake Holloman, of Cre mo, for a 13 pound shoulder and a bushel of apples, which look good in glass cans. Needless to aay my car ran home after such a "greas ing". The Lord be praised for such brethren. S. B. Barnes and wife.

Numerous inquiries from different parts pf the State, with reference to suitable cover cropa to put in this fall, has been received by the Agricultural Extention Service, to1 an enquirer in the Eastern part of the State, Mr. C. B. Williams, Cheif of the Division of Agronomy, has suggested that the main cover crtfps one will have to depend upon for seeding in corn, cotton, and to bacco fields this fall are rye, oats, crimson clover, and rape. If crimson clover- seed has been saved, it is suggested that from 40 to 50 pounds per acre of the rough seed be sown broadcast and be lightly harrowed in with a spike tooth harrow. The seeding should take plfcee early in September; in fact, if the season is favorable, they might go in during the latter part of August to a good advan tage. Rye, too, is a very good crop to use for cover purposes; in fact, it is one of the very best to use on very poor lands. It may be seeded alone or with crimson clover. When seed ed alone, sow broadcast or drill at the rate of 3 to 4 pecks to the acre in between the rows and lightly harrow in. When sown with crim son clover, use about 3 pecks of rye and about 25 to 30 pounds of crim son clover seed in the hull, or 7 to 10 pounds of clean seed. Crimson clover may be sown too with oats with very good remits, provided the land is not too poor and the clover seed are inoculated Where it has not been grown suc cessfully on the land before. When it is expected to cut the clover, it will be well to sow seed of the early maturity varieties of oats, like Burt and Fulghum, with the clover, as these will reach the haying stage at about the same time as the clover. Dwarf Essex rape may be seeded with oats or rye, using 4 to 6 pounds of rape seed to 1 and one-half to 2 bushels of oats or 8 pecks of rye per acre. The rye and oat seed should be drilled in or be Weeded and har rowed or disked in. Then the rape seed may be sown on top of the land and be sown on top of the land and be lightly covered with a smoothing harrow. "?> If seeded with oals or rye, the rape seed will be likely be covered too deeply for beet results. If crimson ctover seed are not available on the farm, it will proba bly be well to depend upon rye or oals, certainly so to a large extent this year, as the price of crimson clover seed is extraordinarily high. Crimson clover, rye, oata, and rape alone or in the combinations suggested should provide* consid erable amount of grazing during the fall, winter and early spring, / provided a good stand is secured and they are handled properly. The grazing should only be allowed after the plant! have become well estab lished during the fall, winter and early spring. Even in the spring the grazing should not be excessive and the animals should be removed in time to allow the plants to make complete growth that they may be turned back into the soil for the benefit of crops that are planted on the land the following year. It is highly essentia] this year that con siderable grazing crops be pot in for such live stock as may be on the farm in order that crops like corn may be utilized in much great er amounts than has been the case heretofore for other purpaosea than in feeding to farm stock.
