XMAS MONEY
FOR YOU
SmtcH Your Attic for Confsd
?rat* Envelop**.
This is a new and easy way to get
Xmas money without trouble or work
or expense.
Among the old letter* of many Southern
families are hundreds of very rare stamp*
and envelopes. Many hare been found
and sold for (mail fortune*. Single en
velope* have been sold for as high a*
$700.00. Many have brought upwards of
$50.00 each. It sound* "fishy," but it'*
true. They are valuable because they are
rare. They are rare, not because there are
only a few, for there are many of them,
but simply because most of them are for
gotten, being stored away in old trunks
and closets.
Make a thorough search through your
attic for these old war letters. Fortune*
in rare (tamp* have been found in old
safe* which no one ever dresmed con
tained anything of value. Many an old
trunk or chest contains letters that may
bring the finder a profitable reward. Send
these to Mr. Harold C. Brooks, Box 223
Marshall, Michigan, and he will imme
diately write you, stating whether they
are of value and, if so, will offer you full
value for them. He is a privste collector
of rare stamps and envelopes and will pay
more for those he Is seeking than a dealer.
Besides the Confederate issues, certain
United States and foreign stamps are
wsnted provided they are on the original
envelope* and mailed between 1845 snd
1870. Although the rare issues are espe
cially desired he also buys many of the
commoner kinds, and many people are in
this way getting Christmas money with
''but very little trouble snd no expense.
The Advertising Manager of this
paper has known of Kir. Brooks
for many years snd you may place fullest
confidence in his integrity. He will advise
you frankly, offering what he regards the
envelopes a* worth to him and in case the
envelopes are not satisfactory they will
be returned to the sender.
As so many stamps are similar in ap
pearance, Mr. Brooks cannot quote values
from written descriptions, but must see
the envelopes. Furthermore, the condi
tion of a stamp or envelope has an impor
tant bearing on its value. Confederate
money, old documents or coins he does
not collect.
If envelopes are sent in a bunch they
should be very carefully wrapped ? if pos
sible between cardboard to protect them
from becoming wrinkled or creased. Do
not cut the stamps from the envelopes,
but send the complete envelopes. Also
take care not to tear the stamps or put
pins through them. Such damage greatly
reduces the value of eny stamp. If you
have reason to be! ? r o y >::r ei-velopjs
contain any of grc-t uijj t:r J ti:cai i
by Registered Mail.
This notice will net be printed again,
so make a thorough search now before
the address is lost or forgotten. Tell
your friends or ask permission to look over
their old war letters. Many elderly people
have kept hundreds of such letters. Mr.
Brooks' address is as follows:
HAROLD C. BROOKS,
Box 223 Marshall, Michigan.
Times have changed since a man
wearing knickerbockers attracted the
attention of the throngs.
CORN AKTtK LIIul'MK
SEAKLV IMHBLKS Y1K1.II
Raleigh. Nov. 17. ? A demonstration
on the farm ot G. E. Callahan of
Bladen county shows that corn after
velvet beans, plowed under, was near
ly (Rubied In yield as compared to
corn following cotton.
Thla demonstration Is one of many
being conducted by the agronomy work
ers of the State College of Agricul
ture. In some of the demonstrations
there Is made a rearrangement of the
fields after which regular crop rota
tions are followed bo as to give the
farmer a system that Includes a high
er percentage of legumes. This en
ables him to Improve his soil gradu
ally and with smaller expense than
by any other method
"Our demonstrations also permit the
farmer to grow more feedstuffs and
to tend larger fields instead ot many
small ones." says E. C. Blair, exten
sion agronomist who has this work
In charge. "Mr. Callahan was one ot
the first men to undertake such a
demonstration. He began his In the
spring ot 1923, and Is now well pleas
ed with the results being obtained.
"In the particular case of this corn
field, Mr. Callahan made a rearrange
ment of his fields so that a part ot
the corn crop this year was on land
that had been In cotton. The remain
der of the field was occupied by corn
mid velvet beads (be previous year
I There has been a noTIteable difference
In the two parts of this corn field
] throughout the entire year. When the
corn was harvested recently, the land
I Has measured and the corn weighed.
| It was found that "where the corn fol
j lowed cotton, the yield was exactly
twenty bushels per acre; where the
corn followed the corn and velvet
beans, the yield was thirty nine bush
els per acre.
"The obrn was all fertilized the
same, planted the same day and cul
tivated alike. It all grew in the. same
field on uniform land and the In
crease of 19 bushels per acre can be
idue to no other cause than that of
I plowing under the velvet beans.
Love at first sight may be alright,
but It's a good Idea to wipe off your
glasses and look again.
