u if any good.
1 To correct catarrh yoo should treat Ha

Soldier Boy» l^ere.
By a recent order of the Governor
the Brd N. C. Infantry Band, was
transferred from Raleigh to Graham.
Ip a former order Graham was dee- ,
ignated aa home atation of the mount
ed, eection. In all there are 05
ycmng men, embracing the Reg.
Adjt., non-commissioned staff, the ;
band and mounted section. They
are a healthy looking and genteel ,
lot of young men. They will re- .
main in Graham about ten days.
We beapeak for them the moat con
aiderate treatment on the part of
Graham people. Like the boys who
have left and will leave Graham,
they have left fathers, mothers, ,
brothers, sisters and friends at home ,
whose hearts are anxious about them. ,
Mr. Robt. W. Scott Will Sell a Lot of
Fine Stock at Auction on Aug. Ist.
A rare opportunity will be offered
the people of Alamance to get some 1
fine Jeraey cattle and other stock at 1
the aale on Wedneaday, August Ist.
Beaidee the Jeraeys, he will sell a 1
lot of ponlee, sheep, goals and hogs
—all well bred. 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. For four davs,
Friday and Saturday, Tueedav and
yesterday, during the past week, be
tween 1 and 3 o clock in the after
noon, the rain fell in torrenta. On
Tuesday it waa like a cloud burst.
Farmers Institutes Aug .13 and 14.
On the 13th of Aug. a Farmers
Institute will be held at Eton Col
lege and on Aug. 14th one will be
held at Snow Camp. Special stress
will be given to the food and feed
crops, live stock, etc. Experienced
ana well informed men will be pre
sent to tell the people about those
things demanding moat attention at
thia time. The farmer may be very
buay on the date the inatitute is held
near him, but he cannot do a more
profitable day's work than learning
low and what to produce and the
best way to care for it after it is
produced.

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.

Meeting of County Board of Agri
culture.
v * A
Another very interesting and suc
cesafnl meeting of the Alamance
County Board of Agriculture and
Food Conservaton Commission was
held in the court house in Graham,
Saturday, July 14, 1917. 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,

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.

ROOT CROPS FOR WINTER USE.
By V. V. 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. A full description of the
varieties mentioned above with
many others, and a great deal of
other helpful garden information,
inay bo had by sending to W. Atlee
Burpee A Co., of Philadelphia, for
their Mid-Summer Garden Book,
whioh will be supplied free of

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

"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."
