News of the Week on
Chatham County
Farms
Messrs. W. F. Bland and C. H.
Lutterloh, of Pittsboro routes one
and two, will conduct one acre dem
onstrations with sulphate of ammonia
as side-dressing applications for corn
this year. This material will be ap
plied at the rates of 150 pounds
per acre when the corn is about knee
high. Records of increased yield of
corn due to application of nitrates
will be studied.
* * *
Many Chatham county farmers are
beginning to find profit in poultry
farming. Mr. R. C. Broadwell, Apex
R. F. D. 1, has found poultry farm
ing a profitable supplement to tobac
co farming. M’r. Broadwell is plan
ning to construct a modern poultry
house this year, and devote more of
his time to poultry production.
* * *
Mr. J. M. Edwards is another farm
er who has found that poultry pro
duction pays well, when adopted to
the general farm rotation. Recently,
Mrs. Edwards sold 242 pounds spring
broilers for $lO9, and expects to
market that much more in the next
few weeks.
* * *
Mexican cotton will pay farmers
in this county well, if from no other
standpoint than the extra length ob
tained. Mr. Ed Avent, Bynum, R.
F. D. 1, states that his Mexican cot
ton marketed through the North Car
olina Cotton Growers Association net
ted him sls a bale over shorter
length cotton.
* * *
Farmers are showing interest in
planting improved seed corn and cot
ton seed this spring. The county
agent recently sent in orders for
Weekly’s Improved Seed corn for S.
C. Glosson, Moncure R. F. D. 2, T. A.
Dowd, Goldston, and J. L. McManus,
Bear Creek R. F. D. 1. A total of
fourteen farmers in this county have
been furnished with improved seed
corn to date.
There will also be an increased
acreage in purebred Mexican cotton
in this county this spring. Orders
were sent in this week for J. I. Lind
ley, Siler City R. F. D., and Sheriff
Blair, Pittsboro.
LARGE SHIPMENT OF POULTRY
MOVED FROM SILER tITY
LAST WEDNESDAY
Poultry car No. L. P. T. X 430
rolled out of Siler City last Wednes
day night carrying the largest load
of poultry ever marketed from Chat
ham county. While a final check up
on the tonnage of poultry secured has
not been made as yet, a rough esti
mate gives the weight secured at
10,500 pounds. Two hundred and
fifteen farmers patronized this car,
and received a total of $2,500 for
their poultry. Prices were the high
est received yet, and farmers were
very well satisfied with the sale. The
poultry was bought by the G. S. Miles
Company of Greensboro. During the
last eight weeks, a total of 28,200
pounds of poultry have been moved
from this county, netting the farm
ers approximately 6,486. This has
meant a saving to the farmers of
$1,692 over local prices.
It is planned to make another ship
ment from Siler City during the next
two or three weeks, and one from
Pittsboro- the first week of April. Ex
act dates and prices will be an
nounced later.
FARMERS WILL SAVE LES
PEDEZA SEED IN THIS COUNTY
THIS YEAR
Fifteen farmers are seeding 600
pounds of Korean, Kobe and Lespe
deza No. 76 in this county this spring.
In addition so this, 195 farmers are
seeding a total of 13,500 pounds of
common lespedeza this spring, all of
these orders having gone through the
county agent’s office. In order that
we may secure "home grown seeds for
.sale at cheaper prices in the county
mext year, twenty-five farmers will
construct or buy seed pans for sav
ing lespedeza seed. Twenty-five blue
prints for -the construction of les
pedeza seed pans were mailed to
farmers from this office this week.

a vacation, or simply the satisfaction of having money
in the Bank, a stream of deposits will get it for you
sooner or later.

DEMONSTRATORS SHOW REC
ORD OF PROFITS ON FLOCKS
Mrs. O. B. Mann, Pittsboro, R. F.
D. 3, and Mrs. J. W. Dark, Pitts
boro R. F. D. No. 2 show that they
have made a nice profit from their
flocks for the month of February ac
cording to their monthly poultry rec
ord which was received a short time
ago. Mrs. Dark had 91 birds in her
flock during the month of February,
from which she received 92 dozen
eggs. She received a total of $29.13
for these eggs, while the total feed
cost for the thirty days was $11.82,
leaving a profit of $17.29.
Mrs. Mann sold a total of 229
dozen eggs from 160 hens for the
month of February for which she re
ceived a total of $64.64. Her profit
for the month was $lB.
YIELD PER ACRE SHOULD BE
INCREASED, NOT TOTAL ACRE
AGE, AIM AT 50 BUSHELS PER
ACRE OR MORE.
The average yields of corn per
acre in this county are very low, and
with few exceptions, there has been
no profit made from growing this
crop here. Throughout the State, the
extension service is urging the farm T
er to aim at 50 bushels of corn per
acre or more. This yield will re
sult in substantial profits, and the
money obtained from the sale of
cash crops as cotton and tobacco need
not be used in paying feed bills. To
produce this extra yield per acre in
this county, we must use better va
rieties of corn, better cultivation and
better fertilizers.
On the red soils of this county,
4-500 pounds per acre of a fertilizer
analyzing 10 per cent phosphoric
acid, four per cent ammonia and 2-3
per cent potash should be used for
corn. On the gray soils, the same
type of fertilizer may be used with
success, with the difference that the
potash content of this fertilizer
should be at least five per cent. As
a rule, a second application of from
100 to 150 pounds per acre of nitrate
of soda, calcium nitrate or three
fourths of this amount of ammonium
sulphate should be made when the
corn is knee high.
TOP DRESS WHEAT WITH NI
TRATE OF SODA NOW
Those farmers who top dress wheat
now with 100-150 pounds of nitrate
of soda will find that it will pay
good dividends. Nitrate of soda used
in this county in the above amounts
has greatly increased the yield of
wheat, in many cases doubling it. •

MR. N. A. PERRY DEAD AT AGE
OF 66—BURIAL SUNDAY AF
TERNOON.
It is sad indeed to report the death
of Mr. N. A. Perry. He was near
66 years of age. He had been in bad
health for some time, and suffered
very much in his last days. He died
last Saturday night at 7 o’clock, and
was buried at Brown’s Chapel Sun
day .afternoon.
He had been a member of that
church since his youth and had served
as steward for many years, being
chairman of the board at the time
of his death. He was also teacher
of an adult class in the Sunday
school when he died. He had been
active in his church for years, though
not given to public prayer or singing.
A large crowd attended the fu
neral which was conducted by his
pastor, Rev. J. A. Dailey, assisted by
a former pastor, Rev. J. J. Boone.
Many front tributes expressed the
love and regret of friends and rel
atives. A good man is gone and will
be greatly missed at church and at
home. He leaves a devoted wife, one
son and two daughters, also three
sisters, and a host of friends to
mourn his loss. To the family the
writer extends a heartfelt sympathy.
We are glad that Miss Sallie Perry,
sister of Mr. N. A. Perry, was able
to be at her brother’s funeral. She
had been confined to her home since
December by a broken leg. • n
Mr. W. J. Durham has recently
had a small cancer cut from his face,

Meat Market Man:“ Hurry up;
break the bones in Mrs. Smith’s chops
and put Mr. Ray’s ribs in the basket
for him.”

When your
Children Ciy
for It
Baby has little upsets at times. Ail
your care can not prevent them. But
can be prepared. Then you can do
what any experienced nurse would do
—what most physicians would tell
you to do—give a few drops of plain
Castoria. No sooner done than Baby
is soothed; relief is just a matter of
moments. Yet you have eased your
child without use of a single doubt
ful drugs; Castoria is vegetable. So
it’s safe to use as often as an infant
has any little pain you can not pat
away. And it’s always ready for the
crueler pangs of colic, or constipa
tion, or diarrhea; effective, too, for
older children. Twenty-five million
bottles were bought last year.
