The Sand Hifc, Jackson Spring? and
Other Jhings.
.It is across the country and
Sooth of Oraham where the fa
mous "sand hills" are found.
Moore county la the center of th«
sand hill region. The writer and
fonr other members of bis family
left Graham early Sunday* morn
ing in an automobile, going by
Greensboro, Asheboro and several
small villages,'and reached Jack
son Springs in good time for din
ner. Jackson Springs is an all
ye&r-ronnd retort in the heart of
the sand hill country. Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. R. Rosa live there. Mr.
Roes,-'son-in-law of Dr. W. R.
Goley, is one ot the owners or the
property and gives the hotel,
farm, etc., his entire time. Be
sides hotel accommodations for
three hundred people, there are a
number of cottages where whole
families come to spend several
weeks or months at a time. The
Springs furnish a water of ac
knowledged health-giving prop
erties. Through the property
flows a creek that furnishes water
for a swimming pool and small
power plant to generate electric
ity for lighting purposes. A rail
road passes through the p'aoe
too.
Those who have an idea that
this country is a sandy waste,
heed to revise their notions. It is
hilly—very hilly, almost moun
tainous. It is not a barren coun
try. Where not cut away there
is y.et some fine pine timber and
other woods. There are biv farms
in corn, sotton and other crops,
and big peach orchards find a con
genial home among the hills.
It is only five miles from the
Springs to the Derby farms where
Mr. Ross spent five years, and
where he cleared and put 800
acres under cultivation. We saw
fine crops of corn and cotton here,
young orchards, vineyards and
dewberry fields. A day spent in
that section would open the eyes
of any one who would "take time
to go and see. And last, but not
least, there are fine sand-clay
roads which make motoring a
pleasure.

Cuming; Club Work in Alamance
County
At this particular Mow, when
the Governor of North Carolina
and thA President of the United
States are issuing proclamations,
as never before in the hisiory of
our State "and Nation, to the wo
men and girls, urging the canning
and drying of perishable fruits
and vegetables, it is a pleasure/
pride and delight to consider this
line of work in our county as it
has been and is now being con
ducted by the Girls' Canning
Clnbs organized aud operating in
the stVeral parts of the county.
Thes« clubs, composed of the
girls and women of the rural dis
trict, go at the work with a de
termination and we were simply
amazed when we learned the fact
that these clubs put up approxi
mately 35,000 cans of domestic
and commercial fruits and vege
tables last year, valued at SB,OOO.
This year the membership of
these. Canning Clubs, mostly the
girls of the rural districts, is more
than double that of last year, and
under existing conditions, on ac
count of the war and otherwise, is
thereefore of specUl interest,
greater opportunities being otter
ed than at any time in the past.
We have every reason to belieye
the accomplishments of these
clubs will, at the end of this year,
show results highly gratifying to
all concerned.
The work of these Qirls' Can
ning Clubs, this year, is being
directed by Miss Martha Holt,
Graham, she being County Demon
strator, and girls or women, any
where in the county, who wish to
do their part in conserving by
canning or drying perishable fruits
and are invited to con
fer and co-operate with her.

Abraham Lincoln used to tell s,
story, by way of illustrating wha'
the promises of some of His politi
cal opponents amounted tq, of t*
splendid boulevard he once came
across in a western city. It began
as a line avenue, flanked with
magnificeut trees on either side,
and wide enough for three coach
mid-fours to drive abreast, but
just beyond the town limUs it be
came a dirt road, and then a cow
path, and finally became a squir
rel path that ran up a tree and
ended in a knot-hole 1
Some of onr "war gardens" are
going to end like that this year.
Every season in fact, war or no
war, there are many gardeners who
start out most enthusiastically in
the spring aud do excellently in
getting their gardens started, only
to have their good resolutions
"peter out" toward mid-summer,
and finally let things slide entire
ly. This seems that they not only
lose the opportunity to get a fall
as well as a summer crop from
their gardens, but forfeit the bene
fits of much of the work they have
already done, and by raising a
crop of weeds, waste the fertility
of the soil aud sow a lot of trouble
for next season. Weeds are always
ready to go to work and produce
a crop of seeds just as soou as the
gardener stops producing crops of
vegetables. Dou't play into the
hands ot the enemy. Even if you
can't-push this year's campaign
any further, at' least hold what
you have gained for next spring's
drive.
Summer neglect of the garden
is caused more often by Ignorance
of just what should be done than
by carelessness. It may seem a
waste of time to cultivate soil
from which you have already suc
ceeded in freeigg froiu weeds; or
to pull weeds in the rows of vege
tables that have made their full
growth, and will be "gone by" in
a week or two.
Hut it is not. All the soil be
tween the rows should be culti
vated or stirred frequently until
you are ready to take out the flrtn
crop and plant /another. Every
weed that is left, whether it is
directly injuring any vegetable or
not, is robbing the soil; and most
of them will have matured seed
and thus provided for many hours
of tiresome labor on your part be
fore you suspect that they are
half-grown, because the flowers
and seed-pods are so inconspicu
ous
HOW DUST SAVES WATER
Anyone can easily understand
that cultivation utter wet weather,
as soon as the toil is dry enough
to work in without being sticky
will help to loosen it up and dry
it out by admitting the air. It is
more difficult to explain to the be
ginner that frequent cultivation, in
a long period of dry weather, afso
helps to keep the moisture in the
soli. That is, if the surface of the
soil, all over the garden Is kept
finely pulverised and dry, the
moisture below the surface can be
saved. The dry "dust Mulch" on
the surfvco acts )ust as a cover
ing of leaves or strawey manure
would, do, keeping the moist soil
below it protected from the sun and
wind, which would otherwise cause
it to be ibod up rapidly by evapo
ration.
This frequent lummir cultivation
should not be deep enough to cut
or break the plant's roots. One to
two inches deep is enough. If you
have not got a wheel hoe, which
is Just the thing for the work, get
a slide or scuffle hoc. This will
cost but fifty cents or so; will do
the work much quicker and better,
and will last for years. A blade
eight inches wide in better than a
wider one for general use.
KKEP ALL, THE GROUND BUSV.
The quick growing crops such as
raddishes, beans, lettuce, kohl rabbi,
early turnips and jwas, which every
one plants in the spring, are often
absent from the fall garden. There
is no reason why you should go
without any of these if you like
them, as there is still time to planl
them, and usually plenty of' rftom
to fit them in after early crops Just
as soon as the latter can be gotten
ou tof the way. Many gardeners
don't even wait for the first crops
to be wholly used up, but make
their succession 'planting between
the rows of such things as are near
ly harvested, so that they will be
take their places without any lost
time in between. Use summer or
winter varieties of raddishes for
sowing now. For turnips for |ui'k
use, the old favorites White Milan
and Petrowski are good. Use early
vaiieties of pea* and beans, such as
Little Marvel of Alaska, stringless
Creenpod ana Longfellow.
Suggestions lor fighting insects
