I Ground”, appears to be the strip of wire grass growing along the outer edge. Residents of the community say this variety of wire grass in not ordinarily found in this section of North Carolina. Furthermore it leans j toward the center of .the circle in- I stead of keeping its natural upright position. j The path representing the rim of j the circle is well worn down and j is too narrow and low to offer an inviting footpath, yet those who ! have visited the spot from time to j jtime for many years says it never: j fills up and always remains clear of foliage and other accumulation. • | The path crosses the circle lead- j ing into the woods more nearly re- j ] sembles an ordinary footpath. No j ' one is said to live in the vicinity! in which it leads nor is it to be j regularly traveled, yet it, too, ap- i pears well beaten and clean. About 20 years ago, and old doctor, believed the Indians in per-; forming certain of their rights, had buried treasure there, dug a hole about 20 feet in the center of the i 'circle. His trouble is reported to have brought him no results. A few years ago another person, , suspecting a pot of gold was buried on the spot, dug another hole, this ! time nearer the border of the circle, j It is commonly supposed that he met wtth no better success than the ; doctor. That such a place as the “Devil’s Tramping Ground”, easily assumes an earthly and supernatural charac- , ter to even a slightly superstitious person- is;, apparent. J.: IL Dunlap, a, former owner of the spot, tells how he once employed ,a number of negroes to fill up the hole which was dug about 20 years ago, and that when he returned the negroes ’ had run away and left the work unfinished. . One person of the community is of the opinion that plants set out within the circular area will wither and die within a few hours. Others say that a stick laid across the circular rim of an afternoon will ! disappear during the night. Aiitum leaves falling within the circle are reported to vanish. Those, who look to the super- j natural in seeking an explanation tor | some of the peculiar phenomea of j “The Devil’s . Tramping Ground,” j call the visitor’s attention in particu- i lar to the supposed faetts that the I circle remains clear of refuse; that the paths remain distinct, and that the wire grass does not spread and leans toward the center of the cir- ] cle. To account for these features a j number of explanations have been I offered. The majority of people be lieve the spot to have been used by the Indians to celebrate certain re ligious rites.

We shall have big agriculture alongside big business." Wheeler McMillen. -C 48,000 Farmers Say— The profit on fertilizing, the profit paid by the increase that fertilizing ' brings, piles up to an average return j of $3.54 for every dollar spent on fertilizers for all crops in 35 states. So says the National Fertilizer Asso ciation. after interviewing 48.000 farmers and studying their answers. From everywhere the unmistak able verdict comes that wise fertiliz ing does pay the farmer who grows crops for market. Part of the wis dom is in choosing the right ferti lizer —in deciding to use old reliable V-C, if you'll take Full Rows' word : for it. Another truth is proved by the answers of these 48,000 farmers. This truth is that It pays best to fertilize well. The more generous applications of fertilizer per acre are proved to produce the greater returns —through earlier and bigger and better yields, through yields of higher gross value —in the final figure that counts most —net profit! I -C f? Like Father, Like Sons" Many years ago the father of four young sons became one of the first j customers of the old Georgia Cliem- I ieal Works, buying his fertilizer from what is now tiie V-C sales j ortice in Augusta. Ga. The father ! was A. J. McElmurray, and the j sons—E. W., J. A.. R. L. and J. R. i McElmurray—all are grown now, and have families of their own, and ] are respected and successful mem- i bors of their communities. “Our first recollections are of j coming into this ortice with our father.” said E. W. McElmurray re cently.” Maybe we just formed the . habit then, but I think it was be cause the V-C brands were always good and helped us make money. Anyhow, we've kept coming back ever since, for the same old brands. I’ve been using them myself for 38 years and they suit me. My father used to let me buy them on his ! credit, till I got to be2l.

Others believe the site in the early part of the past century, was used for threshing wheat or for some sort of mill and that the cir- I cle was trampled out bv animals i pulling the apparatus. This explanation, others say,is unsatisfactory for the reason it does not account for the origin of the path which cuts through the center of tne circle and leads into “Used V-C Prolific 8-3-3 on five acres and sold the crop at an aver age of $440 per acre.

Agriculture the Ancient is turn ing to ways that are new —to methodical business and big-scale farming and mass production. And competition! Management must be wiser, now, for total yields climb faster than markets and no man can say what his prodticts will bring. Good farming has learned a les son —it hunts profit in lower costs. Your successful farmer even adds a little to his costs in order to cut them! He buys and uses tons of V-C fertilizer, rich mixed food for his growing crops—and produces pounds or bushels or other units in greater number per acre and man hour, thus cutting the cost each unit must bear. Not only does this j farmer push costs down—he pushes gross income up. for he sells at I higher prices the earlier yields and i better yields that V-C fertilizer I brings. He knows how to profit! “And he gave it for his opinion that whoever could make two of corn or two blades of grass to grow' upon a spot.of ground where only one grew before, would de serve better of mankind and do more essential service to his country than the whole race put together.”— Swift's Voyage to Brobdingnag. -C 1 “The county agent is a public servant, j a man of consequence in his com munity and, withal, a man carrying a heavy load of responsibilities. —Dr. Wilmon Newell, Dean, Florida Col ‘ lege of Agriculture. provender fed to the animals.

They say that their profits on fertilizing cotton, over and above the cost of fertilizer, range from $13.61 per acre average for Texas to $31.88 per acre average for North Carolina. According to the 16,501 farmers, these profits are paid by increases in pounds of lint per acre ranging from 94.6 pounds average for Texas to 211.9 pounds average for North Carolina; by increases in dollar value per acre ranging from $17.64 per acre average for Texas up to $41.46 per acre average for North Carolina. -C Like the seal on a bond or the sig nature on a check, V-C’s name on a fertilizer bag means “Good.” V-O fertilizers pay face value in full. Demand high face value, high analysis —and in a V-C bag you get rich, concentrated plant foods, the very best that economy and expe rience advise. In all V-C fertilizers, whether low' analysis or high, hon est values are blended most care fully and every value is there. A name —Virginia-Carolina Chemical Corporation. But what a good old name!
