SHIVER, County Agt. j I salvation of this county. He stated however, that in his opinion, it would be unwise for farmers in this county to abandon cotton entirely, as it was a valuable money crop and a good supplement to a livestock pro gram. Mr. Griffin recommended that a program for more economical pro z duction of cotton per acre through - better fertilization, better cultural i methods, and poisoning for insect . damage be put into effect in this - county. The board went on record , as approving this plan. | Mr. Wade Paschal, well known farmer _ of western Chatham, made an interesting talk on his experiences with the dust poison method for con trol of the boll weevil. Mr. Paschal has been controlling boll weevil dam age by this method for the past four years. When questioned as to the efficiency of this method, Mr. Pas chal stated that he had bettered his yield over two hundred pounds of lint cotton per acre through the use of this method, and also stated that the cost per acre was small compared with the results obtained. The following recommendations * for 1930 were made: 1. That more farmers terrace land for control of surface water. That this terracing be extended in the County through the holding of ter racing schools in order to teach more farmers methods of handling terrac ing instruments, and locating and constructing terraces. 2. We recommend the use of legumes, especially lespedeza seeded in small grain for soil improvement, and the promoting of a campaign in 1930 having as its goal, the seeding of at least one acre of lespedeza on every farm in Chatham county. b. We also recommend sweet clover, red clover, vetch, Austrian winter peas and soy beans for soil improvement. c. A better utilization and con servation of farm manure. d. That farmers be encouraged THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO, N. C. DOINGS OF 1 CHATHAM I FARMERS I STOCK FARMING, 1 POULTRY, | | ETC. j to . adopt a better system of soil ‘ building rotations. e. That more farmers use lime, at least one ton per acre. f. That in connection with the use of legumes, the land be plowed grad ually to greater depths. 3. It was recommended by this board, that we increase yield per acre by the use of improved seed, soil building practices, crop rotations, etc. b. That two variety tests of corn be conducted in the county next year. c. That farmers plant only seed of known origin and of approved varieties. d. That field selection of corn be practised. e. That the use of Weeklys im proved corn and Southern beauty be increased. f. That we use higher analysis fertilizers and better cultural meth ods for corn. 4. In regard to wheat, it was the board’s recommendation that only j approved varieties of wheat of known origin be used. b. That demonstrations in the control of smut be conducted. c. The encouraging of more farm ers to top dress wheat with quickly available sources of nitrogen. d. That better cultural methods be used with this crop. 5. The board recommended a more ‘ extensive seeding of beardless barley * for a winter hay and grain crop. ( 6. The board recommended the same practices for oats as for wheat, | with this distinction: that oats be ! seeded earlier that has been the * practice. 7. Forage crops. a. The continuation of alfalfa demonstrations was recommended. 1 b. The seeding of combinations of vetch and small grains for winter hay crops. , c. An increased seeding of Mam moth Yellow and Laredo soy beans < ’ f®r hay in this county. ! d. The intercropping of soy beans in corn for seed and soil improve ment. e. The board strongly urged the i production of enough lespedeza seed I in the county to supply the home de- I mand next year. f. The conducting of variety tests with lespedeza'. g. It was recommended that a longtime program for pastures, hav ing as its goal the seeding of one acre of prepared pasture of approv ed mixtures for every dairy cow in the county be put into effect. h. That in the future, pastures be cared for better through the mowing off of weeds when needed. i. That sweet clover demonstra tions be continued. 8. The county board of agricul ture recommended that an extensive program having as its aim, a dusting of more acreage in Chatham county m 1930 for the boll weevil be put into effect, and also that one major boll weevil dusting demonstration be conducted in every township in the county. b. That cotton growers use better seed and decide on one or two va rieties of longer lint staple as stand ard for the county. c. That better cultural and fertil ization methods for cotton be prac tised in this county. 9. It was recommended that more farmers treat and clean tobacco seed in 1930. b. The board recommended that a series of tobacco schools be held in tobacco communities of the county early this winter. 10. At this meeting it was planned to hold a farm tour of the county in 1930. 11. It was recommended that Junior Club work, through the or ganization of 4-H Clubs, be continu ed in the county. * 12. More livestock on every Chatham farm, with special emphasis on dairy cows, hogs, poultry and sheep was recommended and endors ed by the board. FARM PHILOSOPHY The biggest waste in farming is the waste of time in an unbalanced farming plan. It costs less to build a machinery shed than to have no machinery shed. A fruitway to spend some of the spare winter time is to work on the fruit trees of the home orchard. In the United States there are five persons per cow, while in North Car olina, there are something like five persons per cow. My kingdom for a cow! Those farmers who have supplies Os home grown feed and food are better off than those who have a mar gin in the bank from the sale of cash crops. “These 4-H Clubs to encourage boys to raise livestock beat all of the fraternity pins that you can col lect in a wash tub.”—Will Rogers. $ *************** * -- - • - * * Brickhaven News * * * *************** Mrs. E.

Quite a number from the - j community spent Saturday in the i nearby towns, Sanford and Raleigh, ■ i doing their Christmas shopping. It i, was a beautiful day, and we hope I Santa Claus and the shoppers too, ! [ were mutually successful with their ; plans for the gala occasion. The J giving of gifts, and the rush and bustle of “getting ready”' for the holidays, together with the commer cialization of the Christmas- customs, threatens to destroy the calm and beauty that should come with the dawn of another Christmas day, but somehow, we feel that, this year per haps, our people have a deeper, fuller conception of the real meaning of the spirit of the Christmas season than ever before. “Peace on the earth, good will to all men,” is more than a slogan, it is becoming the watch-word of every day living. We know, for we have experienced the helpfulness and kindly deeds and in terest of neighbors and friends*, and as we come again to this Christmas tide, with its message of good cheer and of faith to all mankind, we want to say in all sincerity, may this be the best and happiest Christmas-time that has come to our community, and may the new year bring to each in dividual a full quota of health, hap piness and prosperity!

I was so nervous at night that I seldom slept more than an hour at a time. Constipation and headaches gave me lots of trou ble and rheumatic pains were so bad that I just about gave up hope of ever being well. Since taking Sar gon, my stomach doesn’t give me the slightest trouble, I’m not nervous either, and am so much more active and energetic my friends hardly know me.
