D., reports a yield of 81% bushels of wheat on the five-acre wheat demonstration he conducted in co-operation with the county agent and the Chileans Nitrate of Soda Ed ducational Bureau last spring. On the acre plot receiving no nitrate of Soda, Mr. Welch made a yield of eight bushels per acre. Where ni trate of soda was used, his yield was exactly doubled. Figuring the cost pitrate of soda, other fertilizer and labor, Mr. Welch made a profit over and aboyg expenses of $14.34 per acre on his wheat, The Chilean Nitrate of Soda Ed ucational Bureau donated $7.50 in prizes for the three most accurate estimates of the yield of this five acres before it was harvested.

Proving the value of live-at-home systems being followed in western North Carolina, it is said that not a single farm has been sold under a Federal farm loan mortgage. 1 R. H. RUFFNER SEES BIG FIELD FOR CATTLE BREEDER Only about 8000 of the 300,000 dairy cattle in North Carolina are pure bred animals and the improve ment to be made in the blood lines of the remaining 97.5 per cent which are not purebred should come from the 2.5 per cent that are pure bred. “But in addition to improving the cattle we now have on our farms, there will likely be an increase in number with the present growth of the dairy industry,” says R. H. Ruff ner, head of the animal husbandry department of State College. “It is universally accepted that pure bred animals exceed grades and the better bred stock thus commands a higher price. However, this higher price sometimes restricts their use. A pure bred animal is one whose sire and dam are recorded by name and num ber in a register of the breed. Then, in addition to the register, there is for each breed, another register in which are entered the names of cows which have completed records meet ing speified requirements of milk and butterfat productions under definite regulations.” Prof. Ruffner says that it pays a dairyman to test his cows for pro duction because it raises the stand ard of the breed and increases its popularity. It pays also because the owner may sell the animals apd their progeny at a higher price, Each year, North Carolina farmers buy some 2,500 dairy bulls. All of these should b* pure bretf and gfoould come from Within the state. Three rt-asons are given for this—first, the bulls are acclimated; second, there AW &§ good breeders wit’ninthe stat§ as elsewhere in the country, and third, North Carolina is the only state in the Union at this time which is freed from Bovine tuberculosis.

Friends here and elsewhere wlil regret to learn that Mrs. H. A. Har rington is a patient in a Sanford hospital. We hope that she may soon be well and strong again. Miss Mae Dickens is spending this week with her aunt, Mrs. D. J. Ellis of Fuquay Springs. Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Harrington were week-end guests of the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

Mrs. Catharine Mclrer Dead Monday evening, August 19, as the sunset glow faded in the western sky and the summer’s day drew to a close the community was saddened by the death of its oldest and most beloved resident, Mrs. Catharine Mc- Iver. It was fitting that death should come quietly and peacefully with the passing of the day when all nature rests and peace broods over the # ASBESTOS ROOFS 1 LAST FOREVER Home-builders who Cover their homes • with Asbestos Shingles never have to worry about roofing expenses any more.

A life lived modestly, yet a life so filled with humility, patience, faith and simple goodness that its sweetness will ever linger and live on and on in the lives of those with whom she came in contact. The influence of such a life cannot be estimated. It is an inspiration even to the most indif ferent. Eighty-six summers lived wisely and * well. A wonderful and an enviable record worthy of emu lation. Mrs. Mclver was an example of old age at its best —sweet, gentle, loving and beloved. One of the most beautiful attributes of this home so sorely grieved was the reverence and devotion in which this wonderful mother was held. Left a widow many years ago, her children took charge of home affairs and their devotion and deference to her has been mar velous. It seems that as far as was humanly possible every wish was gratified. She was indeed queen of home and of hearts —and deservedly so. Her life has been a blessing and a benediction not only to the family but to all who knew her. The funeral services were conduct ed by her pastor, Rev. E. C Maness, at the Buckhorne church, Tuesday afternoon, and interment was in the new Corinth cemetery. The many beautiful flowers and the large crowd present attested, in part, the esteem in which the deceased was helfdk The following children, to gether with a number of grand children and great grand-children survive: Mrs. R. O. Buchanan of Jonesboro; Mrs. R. G. Avent of San ford; Mrs. T. A. Ausley, Miss Lizzie Mclver and Messrs. J. D. and B. M. Mclver of Corinth. The little home nestling amid the Buckhorne hills is sad and lonely but it will always cherish and be blessed with memories of the beautiful life lived there and no doubt the gentle spirit will hover near that loved spot and comfort those who loved her so devotedly and so unselfishly. $ Television is now used by a N*w York producer in selecting chorus girls from all over the country.
