A SUGGESTION
, TO FARMERS
John L. Christian Tells His Ex
perience With Lespedera and
How To Use This Fine Crop.
Owing to the extremely low
prices of farm products produc
ed last year there will nodoubt
be a reduction in aeteage plant
ed this year by a large number
of farmers. Only the most pro
ductive land will be cultivated
—land that will produce the
best quality of tobacco and a
maximum yield of corn and
ether crops—leaving thous
ands of acres idle to become
poorer which, if properly cared
for, can be made to produce ns
well as any part of the farm in
two years.
Lespedeza seed are cheaper
in price thi* year than they
have ever been before an J if
the farmer's cf Stokes and
Surry counties will seed theii
thin and wornout land in lespe
deza and let it alone for two
years it will double the yield of
any crop planted after it. I
have tried it in building up
l >vorn out soils and have also
l tried several othew legumes
and find lespedeza far ahead
of anything. It will grow whera
nothing else will havcily live
mixed with orchard grass and
rye grass- It snakes r.ii idea'
pasture that will furnish good
grazing until frost. It will
stand close grazing and reseed
itself every year. I have a
pasture of this kind that has
been used for five years, and is
good for several years more, in
fact I believe it will continue
to come back every year in
definitely. As stated before,
seed are cheap and every farm
er should seed several acres
this spring. If you want to let
your land lay uncultivated for
two or more years ten or twelve
pounds per acre is plenty to
sow. If you intend to cultivate
the land next year I would ad
vise sowing a bushel (25
pounds to the acre). I have no
seed to sell and am not inter
ested in any one that has, and
the only profit that I expect to
get out of it will be the pleas
ure of seeing our farmers build
up their soils in this cheap way
until they can produce max
imum yields at low cost of pro
duction.
If several farmers in each
community will make up an or
der foil several bushels and or
der together they will save
freight charges. I will be glad
to give the address of several
reliable parties that you can
order from that have nice clean
seed.

DOES NOT FAVOR
CONSOLIDATION
F. T. Tilley Criticises Some of
the Candidates—Advises Vot
ers To Watch Whom They
Votjj for.
R. F. D. Danbury, N. C-,
Feb. 29, 1932.
To the Danbury Reporter:
My dear voteiV of Stokes
county. I am a Democrat of
Stokes, and am not in favor of
consolidation with Forsyth nor
never have been. But E. W.
Carroll and Mr. Mullican have
favored it heretofore but did
not win. But now they think
if elected they will carry their
points over the rest of us.
So now, dear voters, if you
don't want Stokes consolidated
with Forsyth or some other
county, you had better watch
who you vote for regardless of
the party. Let the man state
where he stands on consolida
tion when he seeks otlice, re
gardless of the party that he
belongs to- I think Mr. Carroll
wants t 0 carry his points. Of
course Mr. Mullican has net
stated where he stands.
Yours truly.
