TttBSjro_ consider; ? The long looked for boll weevil W ajrived in'Jforth Carolina and at 1 m normal rate of travel will reach *widHn'tlie n*?t tljre.

Luckily far this County tJier^ is now and 'Bfitrndant supply trf the best **? Med "to "bSTtod, grown in Hertford County ,and' there is absolutely no. ? use for farmers of this bounty go ing elsewhere, for sfed. There is at present,more than two thousand acre jpf^Wa'5??m?Ker'? Cleveland Big Ball ?cotton of pure variety and eveaption aity free from disease, grown in the County and farmers can get these aeed in almost any neighborhood. This cotton ia very early for big boll cotton h?* one inch to one and one-eigth inch staple of excelent' variety, gins from forty to 'fort-four per cent lint and yields twenty or more than, any other cotton grown in the County. Every farmer in the County should grow this variety "ex clusively next year. ; Arrangements are being made to have certain farmers grow this varie ty next season under the direction of Dr. Winters and keep it pure and improve it. One or tw<* sew clubs have, been organized in the County .for this purpose and if the farmefa are interested in this project they can get information from the County Agent. v V The next thing to do ia to get bu sy on crop rotation and work out a no cotton system that will be pro fitable before you have to do this very thing and do it without exper ience whatever, after having lost a crop of cotton. Get behind your cotton warehouse system and use it to create markets for your other farm products. Before launching into the cattle or livestock business two things will be absolutely necesary and the quick er Hertford County does these two -things the easier it will be to get along with the boll weevil. Clean up the ticks so you can hare better cattle and plant good pasture grasses for summer grazing. A pasture is not a "piece of woodland ith a fence around it"?it is a good piece of cleared land with grass and clover on it and it cannot be made by let ting it grow. ? Cattle nor hogs can be raised pro fitably as a business venture without a pasture any more than good crops can be raised without fertilizer and work. The wise virgin trimmed her lamps before the wedding and was ready?The wise farmer of Hertford County will be ready when the boll weevil gets here. Cattle, hogs, corn soy and velvet beans, hay crops, tobacco, sweet po tatoes, and_ peanuts have saved the farmers of the present boll weevil ?ections and will be the crops that will eventually save this section and the time to learn this kind of farm ing is right now. Go to it Mr. Far mer .right away, and don't get stung! Tick eradication should be consid ered very seriously before the spring and should be in force as quickly as possible but it will not be unless the farmers of Hertford County de sire it. .They may not want it now but when they are forced to depend on livestock for a part of their in come they will want it, and will have to #ait one or two years to get it. It is bound to come soon and why not go to it now and have the agony over with? There is a wide area in Hertford County that is admirably adapted to the dairy business and it-1?not good / for anything else ,and it w happens ? that this section is the closest to the " railroad. This industry, howavar, can never be started, much leas de veloped, with Texas Fever Ticks in festing it. E. W. GAXTHER, County Agent _ NOTICE! NOTICE I! There has been tken up at the home of T. C.

If there was one young lady he moat' covered It was Dorothy Nor ton! but he did not telf her ao. His "aystem" forbade venturing "a "rush break" an he termed It, until he wea able to make a suitable pre : sentunent of Ms home and ita accca aoripa. In'a yu' el, almost secret way Morton purchased a house at the edge ?f the town with a lot ample for * gun ten and limited minor farming, ami -ordered it painted.apd decorated. We tiad- a tfarftge" built a chicken house, a cow stable and a pig pen. "There should be plenty of eggs, butter jind milk, be resolved, and each fall a porker to cnt- up and -*alt dpwn for The winter's meat xtipply. He already owned an automobile. Little by little cratM furniture and other household belongings began lo arrive, and final ly about everything necessary for a modern model house was stored In the vainut rooms. "I'll! all ready," he soliloquized with j satisfaction, and wended h:? way to the home of Dorothy. He Joined her in the garden, indulged in no circumlo cution. told her frankly that he lov?-d her. asked her to become hla wife and then fairly gasped, for Dorothy was overcome. She acted like a person half frightened to death. "Ob. Mr. Lunt," she breathed be wllderlngly, "I never expected' thla, and indeed. Indeed I must not stay with you another minute! I promised mother I - would never fall in love with anybody without first telling her, and here I've gone and done It?I mean you have honored me with a proposal. Then, too, father la away anil I would have to find nut what he thinks about It, and there are our chickens over in our neighbor's yard! Oh! please give me time to think? to arrange, I mean, to. tell the folks." and blushing like a peony end In a state of fluttering embarrassment and confusion Dorothy ran after the truant fowls. Morton passed ntwrel day* after that In great anxiety. At the first he felt sure that Dorothy would in?e. him or write him, hut "he mmnl to keep purposely on! of his way and not a. line did he receive. With a sore heart he finally made up his tniti'l that he had frightened away a coo;? friend In seeking an unwilling brt<V?. He would visit his desolated home" feeling as though he was among the ruins of some treasured palace. Bit hy hit, however, his philosophy oatne to his rescue. The fruits of all of his planning must not go for naught. There was ninny a girl In the world worth seeking. ami doubtless glad to !>ee?ime mistress of a comfortable home. Morton placed an advertise ment In a city newspaper stating that "M. L., lock bo* 27, Rushvllle," wished to heur from matrimonially Inclined young ladles who could appreciate s life partner with a kindly disposition and the Inclination to make a helpmeet happy. During a whole month Morton had not met Dorothy to speak to her and had seen her only at a distance. One afternoon at the beginning of the fifth week of his exile, he went down to the post office (to find his lock bo* chock full" of nrlte* to hi* advertisement. Not only that, but a red card re quested him to present the same for overflow mail addressed to M. L. There were letters and letters In daintily scented envelopes of all shades and vises. He crammed Ma tickets full af them and decided 50 seek the seclusion of the woods lining 'he river and have an uninterrupted opportunity of studying their con tents. .He had almost reached a shady covert In view when a turn - In the path brought him face to face with ?Dorothy 1 There was a sweet smile of welcome on her bonny face, there was a mag netism In her Innocent eyes thatjthrllled him. Artlessly. wKh palpable eager ness she came nearer to him. "Oh! Mr. I.unt," she said, "I was hoping to aee you. I had to wait till ratlter came home from his trip. He arrived last night and I asked him If ! could?that I* vould he-:-" "I>et you marry ma," propounded Morton anktously. "Yes, Mr. I.unt, and he and mother both like you." "An4 about yourself, Dorothy, dearT" "Oh, 1 could have Kid you that long ago!" and she placed her hand In his own and looked up trustingly Into his face.
