For tweniy-five years and more Mr. Scott has con ducted hia Melville Farm, giving his personal attention to the production 1 of good, reliable farm stock, as well aa to the other phases of farm work. He has built up his farm by intel- 1 ligent effort, and those who are for tunate enough to secure any of the offerings will reap the benefit of what he has been ab'.e to accomplish in a quarter of a century's hard and well directed work. Much Rain. For about three weeka it baa rained nearljr every day.

Register Now Under the Absent Voters' Law. Mb. Editor; Please permit me through your paper to call the attention of your readers to the law enacted at the last session of the General Assembly which permits absent electors to vote. Soldiers in the National Guard, all men who are called to service under the selective draft, and any other voters who may be absent from their home voting places at the time of the next primary election in May, 1918, or at the general election in November thereafter, should by all means see to it now that their names are entered on the Absent Vo'era' Registration Book, unless their names are already on the regular registration books. The Chairman of the County Board of Elections in each county is the Registrar for all such voters who wish to register. The sheriff or any county officer will, upon requeat, furnish his name and address If a voter ia now registered, he will be entitled to vote by mail if be is away from home at the time of the primary or general election, but there ia no provision in the law for registration by mail. There ia no fee for thia registra tion and every voter whoee name ia not now on the registration books, who may be absent, owes the duty both to himaeli and to hia State to register and register now, for unless he does so register in person before going away, he will not be permitted to vote by mail, and, if away from home, will thus lose his vote. This law was enacted primarily for the benefit of our soldiers, and it ia hoped that they will avail them selves of its privileges. W. 8. WILSON, Secretary, North Carolina Cauncil of Defense. Raleigh, N. C., July 21. 1917. Dr. W. 8. Long, Jr., Graham, is ch'm'n of the County Board of Elec tions, and will register any desiring to register under the act.

Reports from all sections of the county indi cate that the farmers, housewives and club members are responding nobly to tbe appeals for more and better home gardens and the produc tion of more food and feed crops on the farmn. Plans are being made to take care of the surplus from the gardens, the orchards, and the fields. In this crisis we feel the need of a thorough co-operation between producer, dis tributor and consumer. We have the producers prepared to put up standard goods at a reasonable price and guarantee the same to be exactly as represented. We have a large populati6n of consumers living in our several towns and villages. We have the merchants who can act as the distributors of these goods. Records show that thousands of dollars are sent out of the State for canned goods and other products that should come from our own farms. We wish the patriotic editors of our county papers to help us in bringing about a better condition of affairs in this county, and to that end the following resolution was unanimously adopted : Resolved by the County Board of Agriculture and the Food Conserva tion Commission, that in view of the fact that we are calling on the pro ducers of the county, especially our Community Club women and Can ning Club girls to greatly increase their production, that we ask the merchants of the county to take up the proper distribution of these pro ducts, and call on the editors of our county papers to show our consumers that their interests are identical with the merchants in patronizing nome producers. The male member from each town ship was requested to find out the number of bushels of wheat, oats and rye produced in IUB respective township this year and report the same to the Secretary. The Secre tary has undertaken the task of find ing out how much corn, and wheat, oats, hay, and meat, and canned goods are brought into the county and how much shipped out. If we are not growing our own supplies, steps should be taken at onco to c ir rect the evil. Mr. T. D. McLean of Aberdeen, N. C., District Agent in Co-operative Extension Work in Agriculture, was in attendance and delivered a splen did address relating to the duties of a County Board of Agriculture. The next meeting will be held in the court house in Graham, Satur day, Sept. Bth, 1917, at 10 o'clock a. ni. JAMES P. KKHU, Secretary. A Boy Patriot. The News-llerald tells a story of a Morganton boy, Bennett Rid dle, 14-yeitr-old son of I)r. and Mrs. Riddle, that should go on record. The boy was much at tached to his neighbor, Alex. Shuping. When young Shuping enlisted and left for the war, Ben nett Riddle called on Mrs. Shuping, his friend's mother, and told her he wanted to do something for his country, and he would do chores for her that Alex, had done at home—delivering milk being one. Mrs. Shuping offered to pay the boy for his service, but he would n't agree to that. He wanted to do his bit for the country and as a loyal friend and n ighbor, his services were free. There is a lesson in that for us all—grown folks as well as boys. It is our duty to help to make the way easier for the loved ones left by those who have answered the country's call. The service may be small, but a manifestation of a willingness to help means much lo those deprived of loved ones.

Rockwell, Author of "Around the Yoar In (be Garden," "Home V»eet*bl» Hardening," etc., nto. Copyright 1(117. By W. Atlee llurpee A 0o„ Seeds Orowera, I'blladel, lita. Without doubt the garden op portunity most neglected in this country is the growing of root crops for winter, use. With the room and the time both available, we fail to plant easily grown vegetables which would help fill the cellar or store room with things that mean not only better and more healthful living in winter, but will help cut down the cost of table supplies mest) materially. One of the main reasons why the various root such as beets," carrots, ruta-bagas and turnips, are not more generally grown in this country is that as a rule they are planted for winter use muoh too early. The reanlt, even if a big crop is obtained, la a supply of roots that by digging time have become so old, tough aud pithy that no amount pf cook ing will make them palatable. Consequently, after they have been served "once or twice, they fall into deserved disfavor. Root crops of all kinds for winter use should be planted late enough to reach good size without fully maturing. They will then be of superior quality, comparing favor ably, If properly stored, with freßh summer roots from the garden. Moreover, they will keep very much better than old, overgrown roots# When to Plant. The reasons why late planted roots are superior in quality are that they usually strike a more favorable period for eoutinuons rapid growth, which always means belter table qualities; and because it is t he nature of these vegetables to develop, as they reach full ma turity, a tough flberous, interior growth of tissue designed to help biipport the tall seed stalk which is to bo thrown up. When they reach this stage—as they too often are allowed to do before being stored for winter—they are of lit tle use for tljk> table. The root crop vegetables most valuable for winter use are: beeta, carrots, turnips and ruta-bagaa. Any of these, if planted now, will attain good size by time for stor ing, as they continue to grow until killing frosts, making the moat rapid development during the moist weather and cool nights of late summer and early fall. Ruta-bagas take, longer to de velop than any of the others, and should be planted at once. Beets and carrots may be planted any lime up to the first part of August, and turnips until the middle of August, if early varieties are used. Evon parsnips and salsify, plant ed now, in the latitude of Phila delphia or further South, will make good sized roots, of the very finest quality, before hard freez ing weather. As both these vege tables are absolutely hardy, they may be left in the ground to grow as late as they will, and to be used in the spring as soon as the ground tbaws out. Late plantings are especially good for the latter pur pose, as they will not be pithy and throw up seed-stalks early in the Spring, as plants started last of April or May will do. Even if you have plenty of parsnip and salsify, or "oyster plant" growing now for your fall and winter use, make a generous planting now for a supply for next spring. By making two plantings a year, one in spring and another in mid summer, these delicious vege tables may be had in tbe best of condition practically all the year around. Hare Plenty of Nitrogen for Uulck Work. Any spot in the garden will do for these late sowings of root crops, provided it was well en riched in the spriug. But to make as sure as possible of the beat re sults, top-dress the parts to be planted with fine bone, or tank age, or dried blood (or a mixture of all three), when spading up and preparing the soil for plant ing. Be sure to thin out the seedling plants as soon as they are large enough. Failure to get the best results with root crojia is very often due to neglect in this one respect. Overcrowded plants can not make good root development, aud result in weak top growth. After covering the seed, press the soil down lightly on the sur face, to prevent air space and to mark where tbe row or hill has been planted. On heavy clay soil or very wet weather, of course, little or no compacting of the soil over the seeds will be required. Suggestions for midsummer work in the garden will be given in tbe next ait cle on Summer and Kali Gardening, which will appear in our issue of Aug. 2nd. In the meantime, if you plan to have a late garden or grow winter vege tables, procure tbe seeds you may want.

C. Preparing Poultry for the Market. "In preparing poultry for the market,'' states A. G. Oliver, in charge of the Poultry Club Work, ''the correct method of dressiug the birds, which is one of the es sential things in Retting a good sale, will,be clearly demonstrated at the Boys' and Girls' Short Course. A number of other val uable factors must be also taken into consideration, and one of the most important of these is feed ing. "The birds which are to be pre pared for the meat market should be placed Into small yards or coops with slatted or wired bot toms, the sides to be also com posed of slats wide enough apart so th.it the birdß can eat froih troughs placed at the side of tie coops. These troughs should con tain a mixture of 50 per cent, of corn meal, 25 per cent, of ground oats, and 25 per cent, of wheat bran and middlings. Skim milk or buttermilk should be added so as to make the feed uioist. The mixture should not be sloppy, and if skim milk w buttermilk are not available, wafer may be used. Wheu feeding this mixture, no other water is necessary, and the amount to be fed should be de termined by the quantities the birds consume. Tbe feed should be "eaten up clean, and the quan tity increased with the increase in the birds' appetites, the object being to Increase the original weight by at least 25 per cent, in a ten-day period of feeding. "When the bird is ready to be dreaaed, it is suspended by ita legs, hanging freely, so that it cannot come in contact with any thing which will bruise the flesh, and then killed by being debralu ed. A long, thin knife is used, and the cutting is made in the mouth, across the roof, from able to side, until the jugular veins have been severed; then the brain is pierced. After the bird has been allowed to bleed for a mo ment or two, the feathers are dry picked, beginniag with the main wings, tail feathers, breast, fluff, legs, neck, back, and general finish. An expert picker will dress a bird in three- to five minutes, leaving the flesh clean and uubruisod. Then a plunge into cold water hardenb the flesh and produces a quality of product which increases ita salabillty."
