These limitations have been removed and the Company Is now writing insurable residential town property. ?Our Information last week as to Mr. W. L. Cooper's plans for the Mrs. Hunter home, lately purchased by him, was erroneous, it seems. Instead of an appartment, he will make changes and alternations so that It will be suitable for a small hotel, which Is better news than the apartment idea. Later, If re sults Justify, additions can be made. If there Is one thing more than another that Oraham needs. It Is hotel accommodations. For a ho tel the location Is Ideal.

HERRING, Jr., Asst County Agt. Prepares New Bulletin on Sweel Potatoes All the late facts about growing and handling sweet potatoes for best.yields and quality have been condensed into six short pages by workers of the North Carolina Experiment Station and the result ing publication is now available free of charge to readers of The Alamance Gleaner. The bulletin Is divided Into 11 parts covering the production of the crop varieties to harvest and storage. The Porto Rico, Nancy Hall and Jersey varieties afe the most popular commercial sorts, yet the Station has found that some other varieties are more resistant to certain stem diseases. The bulletin makes much of the Importance of sound seed stock. The seed should be free of disease and from a reliable source and only medium sized roots should be used for bedding. The wise grow er will produce his own plants at home and thus he will not bring some diseases to his farm. Then, too, freshly drawn plants always live better than those shipped from distances. To get early plants, it is necessary to use the hot bed and where forcing is not necessary, cold frames may be used satis factorily. Generally it is wise to treat the seed stock with a mercur ic-chloride solution before bedding. Potatoes grow best on sandy or sandy loam soils and must be well fertilized. Stable manure is not | advised as a fertilizer but at least an 800 pound application per acre of an 8-4-8 commercial mixture is recommended. The average North Carolina grower does not use enough potash in fertilizing the crop. The bulletin says that plants shevld be placed 12 inches apart in rows three to three and one half feet apart and planting on a high ridge gives best results. In harvesting, the crop should be dug when mature and before a killing frost. The storage house is the most efficient means for keeping the roots until marketed. Apply Donmant Spray to Fruit Trees Scale Insects and plant lice are controlled through the use of the dormant spray to fruit trees. This Is the first spray of the season and when applied to peach trees must be timed so as to get on before the buds swell so as to control peach t leaf curl as well as the scale In sects. For apples the application Is made most effectively when the leaves have protruded about one fourth of an Inch from the buds. The dormant spray Is primarily a control for scale Insects, advises C. H. Brannon and O. W. Fant of the 8tate College extension staff. Yet when oil or nicotine sulphate | Is added to the lime-sulphur at the rate of three-fourths of a pint to [ 100 gallons, plant lice are also ' controlled, especially when the ap ' plication Is made at the green-tip r stage of growth. Oil sprays have come into wide use for dormant sprays because the , oil will control the scale and is more pleasant to apply. Such sprays may be made at home though It is ad vised that they be purchased un less the grower has a large number * of trees to treat. Brannon and 1 Fant say that there are many ex " cellent products on the market and 1 growers should get authoritative ' Information before Investing. 1 Do not buy worthless materials, 1 they advise, and do not apply oil k sprays when there is danger of 1 freezing weather. Where the orchard is troubled with peach leaf curl, growers should use either the lime-sulphur by it self or add the Bordeaux Mixture to an oil spray and apply before the buds begin to swell. Oils have no value in controlling plant diseases Brannon and Fant ad vise against mixing llme-sulphui with oil unless the label on the oil r container says that it might be e done. Concentrated lime-sulphur aril1 give good results as a dormant 1 spray and will control both tneecti y and ae?? However, If there li o much scale the two experts advlsi J the use of oil State Marketing School Convenes This Month. What has been learned through five years of cooperative effort In marketing cotton and the history of various cooperative enterprises formed by farmers will be two In teresting discussions on the pro gram for the first marketing school to be held at State College on March 19, 20 and 21. "Acceptance of places on the program by some of the Nation's leading economists and experts on marketing assures the success of our marketing school this month," says Dean I. O. Schaub of State College. "Dr. Chris L. Chrlstesen, chief of the division of cooperative marketing of the United States De partment of Agriculture will be one of our feature speakers. Dr. Christesesen will discuss the value of grades and staples in all mar keting work and It Is felt that his address will be of great vaule to our growers in this State." The Dean also declared that ex perts In all marektlng lines would be present. The marketing of poultry, swine and other livestock; the or ganization of mutual exchanges; questions of credit and finance, the ncn of morlrnt nnnr? Dorvlnne ? thn building of curb markets and direct producer to oonsumer marketing will be some of the other Important matters discussed at the school. In holding this new type of Insti tute at State College, the ar thoritles feel that It will be of In terest to officials In cooperative as sociation and mutual exchanges, to teachers, county agents, farm lead ers, and all others Interested in the agricultural development of the State. After each lecture, It Is planned to have a period of open forum discussions so that all mat ters of Interest may be thoroughly covered. There will also be a few demon strations In grading and packing and a showing of motion pictures depicting various phases of mar keting work. Corn is Farmers' Money-Saving Crop While corn may not be called a money-making crop, It does take high rank as a money-saving crop. The grower who spends his cotton and tobacco money for food and feed will find a good corn crop helpful in this respect. "Home-grown corn will aid the crop farmer of North Carolin to save his cotton and tobacco money and for this reason alone, Is one of the State's most Important crops," declares O. M. Garren, cereal ag ronomist at State College. "The crop Is also Important because of the great acreage planted. In 1927, there were 2,352,000 acres planted to corn in North Carolina and the value of the crop ranked third In Importance, exceeded only by cot ton and tobacco. There Is not a farm In the State where com may not be grown while cotton and to bacco are suitable to more restrict ed areas." Tha thlrrf WAV In which COITl Ls Important to North Carolina, says Mr. Oarren, Is as a feed crop tor all kinds of livestock. Hogs fatten ed and butchered at home must have been fed corn for the pro duction of the best grade of pork and lard. Fat hogs shipped to mar ket must be corn-fed if the highest prices are to be secured. Last yeai 404 cars of fat hogs were shlppec to northern markets by count) agents for cooperating farmers The records show that where these hogs were fed corn in a properlj balanced ration, the animal) brought the top prices for the day Hog shipping Is rapidly becomlnf a major farm industry and be' cause of this, more corn will b< needed. Finally, says Mr. Oarren, con production should be Increased bu not by Increased acreage. Enougt acres are planted now. The In crease should come by using bettei varieties, better fertilisation anc better cultivation so as to build u{ acre yields to where they will b profitable to the grower. Average Corn Yields Entirely Too Small The standard acre yield of con In North Carolina should be a -1 least 50 bushels per acre and thl 1 Is not too much to expect In plan ning the crop. i| "If ever we are to really live a ?' home In North Carolina, we mu? > start with corn and produce on ou ? farms sufficient of this grain t supply the needs of the family an' " livestock," declares O. M. Oarrer I cereal agronomist at State Collegt i "The average yield for this State I only 22.8 bushels at this time an 1 for the five-year period from 1#2 1 to 1825, Inclusive, the yield was onl i 19.7 bushels per acre. This Is en > tirely too small. Com cannot t ! producted economically with sue | poor yields. The standard shoul be 50 bushels an acre and no man should spend time and money cul tivating an acre of corn that will not produce this amount." One of the best means of at taining this standard is through planting the highest yielding strains or varieties, says Mr. Dar ren. Just as some cows will give more milk than others, so will some varieties of com yield more grain than others. This has been dem onstrated countless times by tests made by the North Carolina Ex periment Station. In one series of tests conducted for five years on the several branch station farms and on the central farm at Raleigh, Mr. Darren found the difference between the highest yielding and the lowest yielding varieties, grown under the same conditions, to be 8.3 bushels per acre. This means an Increase of 20 bushels In each hundred from variety Influence alone. In this test 13 different varieties were used. Mortgagee's Sale of Real Property.
