ANNOUNCEMENT !
In answer to so many questions asked "Why can we sell
Melrose Flour so mucli cheaper than others" wifl say that our
flour was shipped direct from mills in car to Louis.burg ? not
shipped to Henderson or other local jobbers, and then trucked ?
to Lonisburg at an expense of about a dollar a barrel as so niany
others are doing. The estimated trucking cost i6 a satisfactory
V
profit for us. Our flour is all frssh, not subject to storage in
some jobbers store room.

The Shennandoah Milling Co. flour, is a good eat, guaran
teed even- barrell, shipped direct from Mill to us, always fresh,
practically the same grade as Melrose. The.price will be equiv
ulent to prices you pay for ordinary flour.

My father wa"fc born in pranvflle
county, Jan. 4, 1885*r At the age of
four he moved to Franklin county and
?was reared in the neighborhool o? i
Centervllle. My mother was born in
Franklin county, April 27. 1889. The
were marrieds March 24, 1909 and liv
ed at Centervllle about four years,
then mo?4- to Cedar Rock neighbor
hood wbere they still live.
I was born Feb. 22. 1913 and have
lived in the same community all my
life. ?
I have one sister about three years
older than I am. I have two broth
ers smaller than I. We like to play
together sometimes and then again
quarrel with each other.
I started to school when I was six
years of age and have not missed very
much since. 1 am nearly ten yeiars
old now and in the fourth grade. I
like to go to school and study.
I went to spend a week with my
uncle Ferrel once. He left me with
the mules and they became frightened
at a billy goat. I cried and called for
somebody to come to my aid."

The funniest and meanest Incident
in my ll'e was when I was so over
joyed at my father's npw shoats that
I got over in the pen and bejnn run
ning them, as was my way of playing
with them. The shoats were fright
ened at this and one of them ran up
by the side of the pen and stuck a long
splinter In his -side. It was so bad
that several stitches ?ad to be taken
In It. This frightened me so bad that
I ran the other way squalling to the
top of my voice. Never since that
time have I played with my father's
shoats .

Learn the Government way to poison
For years the experts of the U. &
Department of Agriculture have
been seeking a dependable and pro
fitable way for the farmer to poison
the boll Weevil. After innumerable
experiments and demonstrations,
the Government announced the dis
covery of a method of poisoning with
calcium arsenate, which, if properly
done, will control the weevil and
make cotton growing profitable in
badly infested sections. >
The Government work has been
carried on in the far South where
the weevil first appeared and where
the infestation is worst. " But the
weevil is in North Carolina now, and
our farmers can save their cotton if
they use the knowledge gained in
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi
Like* everyone else whose pros
perity is wrapped up in the growing
of profitable crops, we are most anx
ious that Carolina farmers should
be shown this Government method
of poisoning before the weevil de
stroys our cotton.
To help give the farmers first
hand knowledge of the Government
method of poisoning the weevil, we
have employed one of the most
experienced field demonstrators
attached to the Government Labora
tory at Tallulah, La., in which this
method of poisoning was discovered.
He will devote his whole time to ^
demonstration work in North Caro
lina, and will conduct his work in
conjunction with the county agents
This expert, Mr. J. O. Taylor
will demonstrate this method in 12
or 15 infested counties of North
Carolina. ? . ? ,
^ Mr. Taylor's services are offered
as a lecturer on poisoning at any
farmers meeting in any part of the
State, at no expense. He will, in ad
dition, gladly advise any farmer who
wishes to poison his own crop this
season. All requests for his services
should be made to the Farm Service
