PAGE SIX ! INTERESTING FACTS FOR FARMERS I TIMELY HINTS ON GROWING CROPS. j News of the Week on Chatham County Farms Janies Strowd, Bruce Ward, Ber nice Ward and Frank Mann ac companied the County Agent on a visit to the Reynolds dairy farm at Reynolds last Friday. These hoys expect to purchase registered Jerseys shortly, and the trip was made for the purpose of looking over some heifers that were for sale. These boys were fortunate in j having an opportunity os seeing j the famous bull which has just i been purchased by the Reynolda! company. The sire of this bull was three times grandchampion at the National Dairy Show, his, grandsire was also three times. champion, and his great grandsire j was champion at the National Dairy Show the only time he was shown. * * * The favorable weather prevail ing during the past few weeks has seen much land broken, a large | portion of which we are glad to say is Lespedezza sod. A number of farmers in the vicinity of Pittsboro are partici patng* in a cooperative shipment of lime. This car of 33 tons of lime will arrive during the latter part of the first week, or the first part of the second w r eek in March. Several cars of lime have also been ordered for farmers in the western part of the county. * * * Mr. A. V. Ferguson of Siler City RFD intends to cut his cotton j crop by hafl this year, and use ; the dust poison method for control; of the boll weevil on his entire crop. J * * * The County Agent is expecting a car of Mammoth Yellow soy j beans at Pittsboro during the second J week of March. This is the last I Carolina Druggist Pioneered Modern Way to Treat Colds Developed Valuable Formula While Seeking Way to Avoid “Doaing” j Children’s Colds While trying to find a treatment for the colds of his own children which would avoid constant “dos ing,” so disturbing to delicate little . stomachs, Lunsford Richardson, a North Carolina pharmacist, devel oped Vicks Vapoßub—the modem ; external treatment for cold 3. Being applied externally, this modem vaporizing ointment cannot disturb the digestion. When rubbed on throat and chest it gives off med icated vapors which are inhaled direct to the inflamed air-passages; and, at the same time, it acts through the skin like a poultice or plaster. As one enthusiastic mother told another about this better method of treating colds Vicks soon became widely known. In time adults, too, found by actual use that it is equally good foe their own colds. Today, the whole trend of medical practice is! away from needless “dosing,” and the fame of Vicks ha 3 spread to over ( 60 countries. The ever-increasing demand is shown in the familiar Vick slogan. ’ First announced when Vicks reached “17 Million Jars Used Yearly,” and later raised to “21 Million,” the figures have again been changed— a j there are now “Over 26 Million Jars Used Yearly.” r ■■■■g? let pofcSft »mr again nviil , «Vs d \ <& n| tue subscribers cf this pr-per be given the & c . cppcrtunity or ti?;s unheard of bargain. . c / t - JCse offers carry a variety of high class publications enough reading for the entire family |*g|gw rot a v/fcoA year.

The calf should be induced to eat grain and hay by the time it is about two or three weeks old. 2. Milk containing about 4 per cent butterfat is best suited to raising calves. Many Jerseys and some Guernseys produce milk so rich that one-fourth skimmilk should be added to the whole milk from such cows. 3. Calves should be fed at reg ular hours, three times a day for the first week. 4. The milk should always be around 100 degrees Fahrenheit at ' feeding time. ’ 5. Each calf should be fed in an individual pail and the milk weighed 'at each feeding. 6. The pails from which the calves are fed should be washed land sterilizzed just as those from i which the milk is sold, i 7. For the fh’st tvro weeks it is best to keep calves in individual pens to prevent the spread of in fection and to make calf raising easier. 8. Changes in the quality of j milk fed to young calves should be made gradually. 9. About sixteen pounds of skim- I milk per day is the maximum : amount to feed a calf per day. This amount should not be reached until the calf is between two and three months of age. I 10. The quarters in which the calves are kept should be dry, well lighted and ventilated, and protec ted from cold during the winter months. ! <s> FARM RELIEF FUND TO BE I AVAILABLE FOR CHAT HAM FARMERS On February 25, Congress pas sed a bill appropriating $7,000,000. a part of which will be available for North Carolina and Chatham county farmers to be used as a loan for the purchase of seed, fer tilizer etc, the money to be avail • able in a few days. There will probably not be enough money available to take care of all re quests, but an effort will be made to assist as many farmers as pos sible who are eligible for this loan ( in this county. To be eligible for this loan, farmers must have sustained se i vere crop losses last year, and be • with out funds, seed, feed or fer , tilizer, or a basis of credit from which to secure same elsewhere. The County Agent has requested that all of the bankers in the ! county, and certain merchants serve on a committee to pass on the eligibility of farmers for this T7TT7 rTTATTTAM HFrORD PTTTSRORO. N. C. I DOINGS OF CHATHAM | FARMERS | STOCK FARMING, POULTRY, J ETC. j loan. If you are eligible for this loan, see your banker at once. The County Agent has written all of the bankers of the county ask ing that they furnish him with names of farmers who would fre eligible for this jo an. Poor prices may be the result not of poor demand but of poor pro duct. * * * “Roughage is just as necessary to the soil as to the cow” —W. H. Barton. * * * It fs sometimes better for' farmers to think so hard that they cannot work than to work so hard that they cannot think. * * * Quality is a production which is closely related to the supply de mand problem. * * 4c Whoever cultivates a garden not only cultivates vegetables but con tentment, patience, pride, and re liance on God. $ WILL CONDUCT DECLAMATION AND RECITATION CONTESTS Two contests of county-wide in terest to the Chatham county high school boys and girls will be held at Siler City and Moncure. A declamation contest for boys will be held at Moncure high school Friday evening, March 7th, at 8 o’clock. A recitation contest for girls will be held at Siler City eve ning, March 14th, at 8 o’clock. Lawyer W. P. Horton, of Pitts boro, gives the winner of each con test a beautiful, special designed medal. Mr. Horton promises to give medals annually if the school boys and girls show interest in this phase of school activity. Last year these contests were confined to Pittsboro high school contestants, but henceforth they will be open to any high school in the county. Letters have been sent to all the high schools and it is expeeted that the following schools will send a contestant for each contest: Pitts boro, Siler City, Moncure, Bonlee, Goldston, Bells, Bennett, and Silk Hone. Mr. Horton realizes that there is a lack of interest in public speak ing on the part of high school boys and girls. These medals ate given with the idea of stimulating inter est in public speaking. It is the opinion of many educators that our high schools and colleges are not encouraging students in the develop ment of the art of speaking. An athlete is much more popular than a good debator. A “monogram” or letter” is more coveted than a de bator’s emblam or madel. It is fine to be a star athlete but the world will always need men who can stand on their feet in public and express themselves. It is hoped that the students will lend their support by attending and that they will back their school representative as much as they do their athletic teams.

You learn something of far-away lands and peoples—of periods and patterns. You begin to understand problems of craftman ship and processes of manufacture. And you learn value. You realize that products consistently advertised are the finest of their kind. When you go to buy, you know exactly what you want, how much it should cost, where to find it and what to ask for. ... You save time and money by shopping in the world’s show windows. .< # # Advertisements are a practical and cultural part of the modern background—read them regularly. jj The Chatham Record • x 1 = c= THURSDAY, MARCH 6. 19?.ft
