However, on many fields it was ooming up wild. Realizing its value as a soil builder and as a bay for grssing, hundreds of acres are being sown each year. Farmers are begin ning to save the seed and sell some to their neighbors. Last year Ed. Russell, Saxapa haw, saved enongh seed for his own use and sold $75.00 worth to others. This year the local tiusmith is called upon to make the seed pans for saving the seed. Several j hundred bushels of seed will be saved for seeding a new orop. J Hundreds of acres for soil im provement were sown this year. Dr. R. G. McPherson, Rufus and Bob Woody, Webb Lindley, Law rence and Ernest Marlette, are among a host of farmers growing successfully this soil improver and great grazing crop. One farmer -has 95 acres in grass mixture with lespedesi. Thiscrop grows well in all parts of the Conuty. Encourage It for ihe soil's sake. W. KERB SCOTT, , County Agent. Soafhwest Alamance.' .

TREAT SEED WHEAT Copper Carbonate Kills Smut and Increases Yield of Quslity Wheat. Two ounces of copper carbon ate dust to one bushel of wheat, thoroughly mixed, so that each grain is covered with the poison will increase aore yields of qual ty wheat. "Copper carbonate is a light green powder which when thor oughly "mixed with the seed wheat will control covered sinut," says G. W. Fant, plant disease specialist at State College. "Any type of closed container, such as a barrel mixer, may be used for treating the grain. The method is easy to use aud valuable in results. Mr. Fant has oncottrAgo I this method in North Carolina fur the past several years, lie a tales tit it the only preoaation to observe in applying the treatmuut is to thor oughly mix the dust and the seed wheat. Where the copper car bonate escapes into the air to ipy extent it irritates tho eyes and nose and therefore mixing had best be done in the open. M n:y growers have built dus'-light, ro tating, barret-mixers lhnt they have used to advantage. This treatment tusy be given lo the Wheat any time befure plant' jng. It acta as repellent to both weevils and mioe and if proper y stored may be treated at lea*! a month before planting time. However, only that wheat which will be used for planting should be treated, states Mr. Fant. Cop per carbonate is poisonous and grata se treated cannot be used for milling purpose or for feed. It la not wise to leave the treat ed grain in the eeed drill over night. The copper-carbo.iato ab ?orbe moisture and may cause thi drill tociog. If the drill is no emptied when work la done fa the night, it is advised to turn th ' feed shafts with a wrench befor > the drill ie thrown in gear Tbi > will free the feed wheels and wt likely avoid gear breakage.
