CAREFULLY CULTIVATE YOUNG
COTTON
Raleigh May 4.?In spite of the very
favorable season for cotton that has
so far prevailed over North Carolina,
it must be kept in mind that a large
percentage of the crop was planted
with seed of low vitality and unless
the season continues unusually favor
able, there will be a high death rate
of the young seedlings.
For this reason Dr. R. Y. Winters,
plant breeding agronomist at S tate
College, urges that growers give their
cotton frequent and careful cultiva
tion. This, he states, will help to
warm up the soil and permit the air
to enter.
"Poor stands in cotton are most of
ten due to unfavorable weather in
spring and lack of timely cultivation
between the period of planting and
chopping," says Dr. Winters. "The
crop is now started under favorable
weather conditions but with seed of
low vitality. It cool, damp weather
or even the usual weather prevails
over the cotton section, and the young
plants are not properly cultivated,
there is certain to be a high death rate
of young plants. Frequent use of the
weeder, harrow or cultivator will re.
lieve this condition."
Dr. Winters advises farmers to use
these implements between the time of
planting and chopifbg because break
ing the crust will .cause the soil to
warm, up and allov^ air to enter. Slich
conditions are favofti-Me " for. young
cotton and if not givea, the grower
may look for a heavy; loss from dis
ease and natural wealujiess of the seed
lings. -,.' ? -

THE SUN CURE
The days of sunshine are Just
ahead. There is no greater tonic for
a weakened system than the warm
penetarting rays of the sunshfne. It
is nature's most skilled physician.
To get its real benefits, one must
be in the sun and get the direct
rays. Sitting by the close window
and feeling its warmth does not
bring the beneficial results that can
be acquired by spending as mach
time as possible out doors.
For those who have the time to
give to a garden, great blessings are
in store. Men and women who fall in
love with their little plot of ground
in the back yard about this time of
year are certain to have a healthful,
happy summer.
The annual coat of tan will be be
coming and the exercise for the mus
cles will add years to your life.

parable state. Florida's climate is urn
excelled anywhere In the world and It
is up to the cities of Florida to raise
the. necessary funds for leHtni the
whole world know 'Why people come
South.'"
The suggestion of the Herald .ap
plies not simply to Florida hut pre
eminently to every other state in the
South; Florida is doing more adver
tising than any other state" and yet
there Is still room for Florida to ex
pand its advertising activities, for it
is through its advertising that the
present wonderful development of
that state has been brought about
Other Southern states, if they would
follow Florida's example, could at
tract far more attention than they are
doing. . , .
Advertising does not simply draw
men and money from other sections,
but it enthuses the people in the place
in which the advertising is done. 1 .ve
vigorous advertising in the local pa
pers of Florida is largely responsible
for stimulating the spirit of enthusi
asm in local people and in helping
them to get a broadqr vision of their
own opportunities. The live town is
often made alive by virtue of local
advertising. The dead town Is one in
which comparatively little advertising
Is done. , .
The town or the state that desires
to be left alone without being disturb
ed from its long sleep of death should
never advertise, locally or outside, for
the moment its business people com
mence live advertising, its banks, its
merchants and its manufacturers com
mence to tell their own people what
they have on which to build up indus
try, a' new spirit will be awakened.
Today the most important thing in
three-fourths of the towns of the
South is to wake up the local people,
and this can only come through the
tonic of well worded and well placed
advertising in all their local papers.
When once a town breaks loose In
a spirit of local advertising it will
then be prepared to spend money lor
outside advertising, but the local pa
per has a right to enlist the heartiest
co-operation of its local clientele, and
the better and broader this advertis
ing, the more spirit that is thrown
into it, the more optimism that is
given it, the more quickly is the com
munity itself aroused into new life.
Then that community is in a position
to invite other people to come and
take part In its development. No
town or city or state has a right to
seek to draw outside men and money
until it has put its own house in or
der until It has cleaned up its streets
and paved them if they are unpaved.
painted and beautified its homes and
put on its best Sunday-go-to-meeting
clothes in order to welcome the stran
ger who may be Invited there.
Any advertising where, in the lan
guage of the day, the gqods cannot
be delivered. Is worse than useless,
because the money is not only wasted
but the results are harmful rather
then helpful. .
The merchant who advertises goods
which he cannot deUver wrongs his
prospective customer and his own
business. The community which ad
vertises resources and attrattions in
oider to invite outside men and money
unless it has brightened up and dean
e(; up and painted up is doing itself
ham and if a prospective investor
or Settler comes he Is driven away
and takes an unfavorable impression
wHh him. Therefore, let every com
munity in the South that wants to
dPveloD wake up, clean up, paint up
and begin an active advertising cam
