\ow that shucking season is here,
Chatham farmers in the main are
'inding out that corn is “turning
larger yields than expected.
Chatham’s corn crop is as large or
ar ger than ever before -in spite of
the dry weather and many farmers
? re planning to sell this corn through
flo-ne grown livestock.
* * *
Good Corn Crops
Cur crop this year is as large
larger than ever before. Our
acre yield is under normal, but we
r ; i( ' a large total acerage in corn”

ln years.

Lespedeza Makes Better Com
i j am satisfied that a crop of
lespedeza burned under on this
? lx u cre field has made twenty
bushels more corn than it would
have made without lespedeza” stated
Mr. R. H. Thomas of Siler City
recently. J
* * *
Good Wheat Crop Being Seeded
in the County
With the recent rains, much land
m the county has been prepared and
seeded in barley, wheat and oats.
The wheat acerage this year will
probably be larger* than it has been
during the past three years. Far
mers will be busy throughout this
month getting in the crop.

Farmers In Corn Contest Make •
Good Yields I 1
J. I. Lindley, Siler City RFD <
averaged 60 bu. per acre with his
five acre field in the corn con- 1
test this year, Raymond Clapp aver
aged 59.7 bu. per acre and M. W.
Duncan averaged 50.25 bu. per ,
acre. These are the (highest yields
obtained to date, but a number of •
other yields will be obtained with
in the next ten days. It must be ]
remembered, that with a normal
season, these yields would have <
averaged a third higher. These re- ]
cords are also showing one very im
portant thing about the production <
of corn, namely; when the yield j
per acre of corn goes up, the '
cost of production per bushel comes <
down, and when the yield comes J
down, the cost of producing a
bushel goes up.

*Brown’» Chapel News*
For two years Rev. J. A. Dailey
has done fine work at Brown’s and
we do not expect anything else but
his return. However, we Methodists
never know what will happen. Next
Sunday is his last appointment be
fore Conference; so come out.
It has been suggested that at
the beginning of the next Con
ference year the names of our
members be read out with the sums
paid this year for pastor and for
missions and what each is expected
to pay the coming year.
Mr. J. W. Dark has bought up
nearly thirty bales of cotton to hold
for better prices. If enough .would
follow suit cotton might go up.
Messrs. ZK. I. Dark, I. E. Crutch
field, C. H. and W. W. Lutterloh,
along with Mr. Curtis and his ice
truck, went up to Virginia last
week to buy cows, but they re
turned without buying.
A suggestion was made at our
meeting last Sunday that the pas
tor’s salary he reduced for the
next year, but nothing definite
resulted. After the conference the
Epworth League met and some real
messages wer presentd by Miss
Allene Dark and Mesrs. Body Perry
and Robert Blosson.

have very few this year. If condi

HURT?
WORK won’t wait for a
headache to wear off.
Don’t look for sympathy at
such times, but get some Bayer
Aspirin. It never fails.
Don’t be a chronic sufferer
from headaches, or any other
pain. See a doctor and get at
the cause. Meantime, don’t
play martyr. There’s always
quick comfort in Bayer Aspirin.
It never does any harm. Isn’t
it foolish to suffer any needless
pain? It may be only a simple
headache, or it may be neu
ralgia or neuritis. Rheumatism.
Lumbago. Bayer Aspirin is still
the sensible thing to take.
There is hardly any ache or
pain these tablets can’t relieve;
they are a great comfort to
women who suffer periodically;

(Doctors Disagree, .
J When children are irritable and
peevish, mind their teeth ( and sleep
restlessly, have digestive pains and dis
turbances, lack of appetite, and have
itching eyes, nose and fingers, doctors
will not always agree that they are suf
fering from worms. Many mothers, too,
win not believe that their carefully
Mt up children can have worms.
jt remains that these symptoms

CHILDREN
CHILDREN will fret, and often for
no apparent reason. But there s
always Castorial As harmless as the
recipe on the wrapper; mild and bland
as it tastes. Yet its gentle action will
soothe a youngster more surely than
a more powerful medicine. .
That’s the beauty of this special
children’s remedy 1 It may be given the
tiniest infant —as often as there is
need. In cases of colic, diarrhea or
similar disturbance, it is invaluable.
A coated tongue calls for j ust a few drops
to ward off constipation; so does any
suggestion of bad breath. Whenever
children don’t eat well, don’t rest well,
or have any little upset —this pure
vegetable preparation is usually all
that’s needed.
