Our roads weri^ in a fearful
condition for ser-ejral weeks dur

We have abou t; 0-4 or a mile of
what they call a “sand clay”
road but we th «k the builders
were mistaken iii t^e materia!
they used.
From the coii lition it was ii)
for two or thre«: weeks, we judge
that they must have used “quick
sand’’' and “pipe clay” when
the> built it. Ine county oufrht

The Farmers' Cooperative
Demonstration work is arranging
to hold a number of meetings in
North Carolina to interest farm
ers in growing corn.
For Four years in North Car
olina and for seven years in some
other Southern states this work
has proven that the yeilds of
corn now produced can easily be
doubled, and that wirh the best
methods of cultivaton it can easily
be produced at an average cOst
of about twenty-five per bushel.
North Carolina farmers, every
year buy large quantities of corn
at a cost of about a dollar per
bushel when interest meney is
counted.
With these facts staring them
in the face it is absurd for any
farmer, under ordinary condi
tions, to buy corn. In fact, it is
a ruinous policy for any farmers
to buy home supplies and pay
from two to four times as much,
for them as it would cost him to-
grow them at home.
The Corn Growers Meeting in
this County will be held at Gra
ham on Saturday, Feb. 17, 1912.
Speakers from the National
and State Departments of Agri
culture will be present to discuss
the subject of com growing.
Good seed play a very important
part in increasing the yield o.f
corn, so f arniers are requested to
bring one or two dozen of their
best ears.of corn for study. The
meeting will begin at half past
ten a. m,, and continue as long^s
necessary.
