CANNOT GROW PEANUTS WITHOUT APPLYING UME Soil Need* Plenty Fortuity To Make Crop, Says Agrono mist Expert Through all conditions may be favorable to the growth of fceanuts it is not possible to make large and profitable yields on soils of average fer tility unless some form of lime is used with the crop, states W. F. Pate, Fertility Agronomist of the North Carolina Experi ment Station. Mr. Pate says that the grower may start with ;JfA>d vigorous seed of a suit able variety, may have good growing weather and give thorough cultivation, but he must still use lime and commer esenofmeabl ? cial fertilizer containing plant foods in correct proportion* As to lime, Mr. Pate says, "The peanut is a legume and since most of our cultivated soils are low in lime and sour, it is necesary to apply some form of this material. Either finely ground limestone or burnt lime may be used. The kind to buy will as a rule depend on the analysis of th$ material and the price per ton de? live red. When large amounts of' lime are used it is best to broadcast and harrow in. With small amounts it is best to apply in the drill before thfc peanuts are planted. When the crop is used in a three or four year rotation, the lime can be used for the preceeding crop and good results will be seen In the yield of peanuts." On the question of fertilisers for peanuts, Mr. Pate has found that the experiments give variable results, yet, he states, "Many people think it is not necesary to fertilize to grow good peanuts. Except on land that la in a high state of cultivation or where peanuts follow in a rotation where the preceding crop has been heavily fertilized, the use of ferti lizer will generally show a profit For average soils in Eastern Carolina, it is recommended that from 400 to 6001 pounds of a fertiliser analysing 8| 'per cent available phosphoric acid, 3 pet cent ammonia, and 3 to 4 per cent potash be used per acre. For soils in the central part of the state, use 300 to 600 pounds of a fertilijer containing 10 per cent available phos-| phoric acid, 2 to 8 per cent fcmmonia and 2 per cent potash per acre." Mr. Pate states that the percentage of ammonia may seem low in the formulas recommended but he finds ! it is necessary to keep in mind that under favorable conditions the plant I is able to take some nitrogen from ' the air, and also that the amount of nitrogen applied should be controlled Jo that the plant may fruit and ma ture properly. "The peanut may be grown on all! upland soils of the Coastal Plain area' Jlnd also on many of the sandier types of soil in the central part of North Carolina. On heavy clay soils and poorly drained soils, they do not do so well," says Mr. Pate. * FEW COUNTIES HAVE * * SO MANY TENANTS * * _____ * *. - Slightly mora than on*-half of * * the white farmer* in Hertford! -? * County own the landl they till. * * According to figure* compiled * * from the eenau* report* of 1920, * * 84.6 per cent of the white farm- * * arm are freeholder*. * * Thi* rat* of owner* i* lower * * than either of the three count- * ' * ie* in our immediate section. ? * The figure* are: Northampton, * * 62.8: Bertie, 62.2: Gat.., 73.6. * * The Stat* average wa* 66.7 * * per cent of all whit* farmer*. * * Whit* tenant* numbering 66,- * * 487.

POINTS IN GOOD DRESSING Wfcmen Who Aro Wit* Recognize |? oortanoe of Careful Selection of Aoooooorfoo. Never have accoaaortoa boa* of greater Importance than in the preoent season. The woman who ia wlae la fashion lore recognises the full value of each detail of her costume. It Is this knowledge that distinguishes a really smart woman from the one who merely wears good-looking clothes. So much depends upon line and color. The contrast given by a trail ing sash, the brilliancy added by a glittering coiffure ornament the grace of line achieved by a necklace or pend ant of the right length, are subjects for thought and study, so that every woman may find exactly the type of ornament and the lines heat adapted to her Individual type. With the picturesque and more for mal style of dressing has come an awakened interest ia ornaments for the hair. Extremely varied 'In typn these range from the simple band of sliver ribbon closely bound about the head to a gorgeously Jeweled affair, quite Busstan in character, and gut tering with brilliants and stiver em broidery. Other headdresses reveal an artful as* of vividly tinted games a two of which are arranged aver the left ear. Then there are shoe buckles ef every sis* and shape, and ffnlgnifl with, all the painstaking car* that goes into the fashioning of real Jewelery. Extraordinarily lovely are becfclaa for the colonial slippers. Made of brilliants, they are backed with a firm of metal lace or platted metal ribbon or velvet In shades of sapshlre bias, of coral color end ef emerald green. SUppeee themselves are lovely beyond tto dreams of Cinderella, whether they take the form ef opera SUpparn or di ver brocade or varicolored metal bro cade aandals with Jeweled heels.

CULLING INCREASES PRODUCTION OF EGGS Government Exhibit at Chicago Was Quite Instructive. Peultryman Glvsn Points to Doton mlno Poor Layer From a Ooot Ono ? Moans of Increasing Profits From Chloksns. (Prsssrsd by th. Unlt.d Ststss Dspsrtmsat of Agriculture.) A sure means of Increasing egg pro duction by proper culling was given In an exhibit entitled "Make Your Poultry Pay" shown by the United States Department of Agriculture at the International Live Stock exposi tion. Chicago. Two pens of chickens were shown, one lot of 12 bens was not culled, and ate in one year 900 pounds of feed, costing $20.70. The 12 hens laid 100 dosen eggs during the year. Contrast ed with this lot was one of eight hens which had been culled, and which laid the same number of eggs but ate only ; 7 ? ? \ ' J A Splendid Flock of White Leghorn Pullet* 600 pound* of feed, at a coat of $18.50. The lot of 12 bens that was not culled ate 50 per cent more feed than the lot that was culled and produced no more eggs. The extra coat of feed, how ever, Is but one of the larger costs. ?Others are the extra labor, extra hous ing room, and extra capital Invested. To enable the poultryman to cull his hens properly the exhibit gave the points to be looked for when determin ing a poor layer or a good layer. These points are quickly learned and are means of Increasing profits from poul try. ? HARROW IS HANDY FARM TOOL ????? ? Invention at Kansas City (Mo.) Man la Easy to Operate and Inex pensive to Make.

On the other hand. It la advantageous to giro the bee* the benefit of cleansing flights aa soon as possible In the spring and aa late as possible before cold weather sots In. Close attention la paid to the weather forecasts, especially In the northern state*. ?a Instance of the way In which the wanthsr bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture co-operates with beekeepers occurred recently In Mew York state. There are approxi mately 15,000 beekeepers there, half of wham winter their beee In cellars. When the weather map Indicated the approach of severe weather, with no Indications for a bee flight in sight, Iwlmgiania were sent by the state ex tension aplculturist to secretaries of SO county and regional associations. Thaee men in their turn were pre pared to telephone key seen who would telephone beekeepers In their own lo calities. In this way most of the bee keepers who winter their bees In cel lars were reached. - -i Considering that the honey crop In Mew York state approximates 4,000, 000 paflti a year, and that the great art losses to the beekeepers of the state have been due to winter weather conditions, the weather bureau service Is of real Importance.
