■avTsprin'c PASTURE CROPS.
Bounty Agent Broom of Union coun-
Ito view of the short com crop, ad
-55 Union farmers to plant plenty
oats and spring pasture crops. Mr.
m writing in the Monroe Jour-
■ says:
■Every’ available acre should be
■ployed in the growing of food,
[. and grazing crops this winter,
[pasturing hogs, rape, rye, and
[ should be sown as soon as the
B jets in condition. Rye makes
Bci the very’ best winter pastures
W&ogs ,and it is sure on all types
[si! .If hogs have a good rye pas
[e :hey can be carried through
[ -inter with very little grain. It
Beiess to sow rape except on rich
Id A few rows planted in the
[k will be of great value when

I make the com worth more.

B grazing through the winter
B land is in condition to put live-
B on. They often get growth en-
Bto mow and take to the bam to

[ save enough forage to carry the
B on - un til March and have a few
m of Abruzzi rye and barley we
Bbe all right until other crops

cover crop. The gen-
eral oat crop should be ready to har
vest early in June .This is our plan
to meet the emergency brought about
by a short com and hay crop, and
we have the utmost confidence in its
efficiency.
Farmers who desire to sow Abruz
zi rye and barley should arrange to
get the seed at once.
Every farmer should make it a
point to sow some vetch. It is the
greatest winter legume we have. It
is as fool proof as lespedeza, and will
do for us in winter what lespedeza
does in the summer, the one essential,
to success with vetch is innoculation.
OBSERVATIONS
Talk Heard on the Street by
Talkers Who Talk.
“My cotton and everybody else’s in ]
my neighborhood is roting on the
stalk,” said a farmer. “Even the 1
green leafs are falling off. And they
are sending reports to Washington that 1
cotton in this county will average 70
per cent.”
I
“Radio is all the go these days,”,
said a radio fan. ‘’but I tell you one
thing—the apparatus is expensive, al- j
though now and then you can get!
som fine music through them. But ev
erything you get now cost lots of
money, no matter what it is.”
“Fishermen have not had much
chance to catch the finny fellows this
year,” said one of our anglers. “The
Creeks and rivers have been too full
and the water too muddy to have any
luck. But the bird season will soon
be on, and from what I hear, the
fields are full of Bob Whites.”
“This has been a rainy fall,” remark- 1
ed a farmer, and so far as I am con- !
cemed I don’t believe any of us will
make it. I opened every boll of cotton
on one stalk the other day and found
them rotten on the inside although;
the outside of the boll appeared to be
all right. Not only were the bolls
rotten, but they were full of weevils.
I am sure I will not make a fourth of
a crop of cotton.”
‘Did you see the sign in front of
the hotel,” asked a citizen. “Right
in front of the hotel stands a mina
ture lake of water and some wag
had stuck up this sign on the edge
of the water—“ The Griffin Lake.
Fishing and Boating.” Now this prop
erty belongs to the county and it is
up to the commissioners to keep the
square in good condition. Look all
around the courthouse and see what
has been there for years. I, for one,
will not vote for a single commission
er who will not promise to put this
property in good shape.”

Death of Mr. John T. Rosser.
Contributed.
John Thomas Rosser died at his
home near Cumnock Saturday after
noon, September 20, 1924, following an
illness of several weeks. He was thir
ty nine years old.
The funeral services were held at
Asbury M. E. Church, Sunday after
noon, conducted by Rev. C. L. Wicker
of Gulf. A large and smpathetic con
gregation filled the church to over
flowing to pay their last tribute of
love and respect. The remains were
placed to rest in the Asbury cemetery
beside his child that preceded him
several years ago.
i The pallbearers, Garland Perry,
Charles Seagroves, Dewey Burns,
Lemuel Perry, Louis Seagroves, and
Gaddy Bums, were nephews of Mr.
Rosser.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
John T. Rosser, who before her marri
age was Miss Selma Burns, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Bums; one
' son, Worth; five daughters, Helen
Stella, Elizabeth, Dorothy, and little
Ruby who is about two months old;
I father, Mr. J. A. Rosser, and step
, mother, Mrs. J. A. Rosser; one broth
er, Henry Rosser, Atlanta, Ga., and
| five sisters, Mrs. N. W. Bums, Mrs.
Thomas Seagroves, Mrs. N. W. Perry
' Cumnock, Mrs. Waddell, Goldston, and
Mrs. O. D. Bums, Tramway,
j After the first few days of sick
ness Mr. Rosser realized that his con
dition was serious and told his family
I and friends that there was little hope
I of his recovery, but assured them of
his faith in Christ, and that he was
satisfied. Friends and loved ones, phy
sicians and nurses were untiring in
their efforts but were unable to stay
the hand of the grim messenger.
I In the death of Mr. Rosser the fam
ily have lost a devoted husband and
I father, the community a loyal friend
: and neighbor. He always heard the
j call of the needy and his hand was
ever ready to help. His services to
others, his helpfulness and kindness
in the hour of need will be, to many
a precious memory.
1 We bow to the will of our Heavenly
Father who doeth all things well, upon
whose precious promises we stand, in
the hope of meeting our departed
friend in the Better Land, there to
share with him the joys of Heaven’s
eternal blessings.

judge of the widows, is God in His

MONROE SMITH NARROWLY ES
CAPES DROWNING.
Siler City, September 27.—Monroe
Smith a well known farmer living
northeast of Siler City had a narrow
escape from drowning one morning
this week when he attempted to cross
Rocky River at the Kirkman ford in
a one horse wagon. The stream was
swollen on account of the heavy rain
of the previous night and Mr. Smith
realized after he had driven in that
he and his horse were in for a close
i call. The wagon came apart in the
middle, bed with its seven bushels
of wheat floated down stream with
Mr. Smith, who is well up in y6ars
clinging on. Some 200 yards below
■ he managed to get to the bank and
' climbed out. It was not until help
could be secured that the horse was
rescued down the river having hitched
to her the front part of the wagon.
