?At this season of the year when
the planter is straining his faith to
the limit, preparing the soil, sow

have a fainting feeling about his

newspaper and sees his possessions
advertised to be sold for unpaid
taxes. And that, too, after he has
passed through a hard winter and
had to stint himself and family to
make ends meet.

Confederate Veterans Will Be Here
Saturday, May 10th
It has been the custom of Gra
ham Chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy for
many years to give a dinner to the
Veterans on May 10th, Memorial
day. So, on Saturday, the Daught
ers will serve dinner to the Vet
erans and their companions.

Of the hundreds from Alamance
who went to battle for the "Lost
Cause," there are now but twenty
one living in the county, it is learn
ed from Commander Robert J.
Thompson of Alamance Camp. Dur
ing the 85 years which have elapsed
since the struggle ended at Appo
mattox courthouse April 9, 1865, a
vast majority of the grey host has!
answered the last roll-call and!
passed over the river.
!
for plowing under is included with
the crop rotation, the soil is im
proved and better yields of the nuts
are secured thereafter, A number of
demonstrations conducted by good
farmers in the last two years con
firm this statement."
Mr. Blair says that few farmers
know how to fertilize for best yields
with peanuts. In some cases a cer
tain fertilizer will give double the
yield that no fertilizer will, yvhilo in
other cases on the same type of
soil and with the same climatic
conditions and cultivation prac
tices, the fertilizer will have no
more effect than Sb much sand
poured onto the field.
Plowing under legumes for soil
Improvement has given uniformly
higher yields. Tom Griffin of Ber
tie found his yields of peanuts de
cllnlng from 100 bushels an acre
down to 40 when he followed the
usual rotation of cotton and pea
nuts with fertilizer. When he turn
ed under a crop of cowpeas, the
yield jumped back to 80 bushels an
acre the first year.
L. J. Oodwln of Windsor had his
yields jump from 102 bushels with
out a cover crop plowed under to
133 bushels an acre after plowing
under crimson clover. H. O. Barn
hill of Edgecombe secured 40 bush
els an acre on land that was "rest
I ed" one year and 60 bushels an
acre where velvet beans'had been
plowed under, reports Mr. Blair.
For County Commissioner.
I hereby announce to the
, Democrats of Alamance county
I that I am a candidate forCoun
, ty Commissioner, subject to the
primary to be held on June 7th.
If nominated and elected I
pledge myself to serve all the
citizens of Alamance county to
: the beet of my ability.
