Raleigh, N. C., March 2?Small
gT&in that looks pale in color and is
evidently not doing so well, might
well be given a dose of quickly avail
able nitrogen at this time of the year.
This course of treatment is pre
scribed by Prof. C. B. Williams, head
<rf the department of agronomy nt
State College, who believes that 100
pounds per acre of nitrate of soda or
its equivalent, 72 potmds of sulphate!
of ammonia, might be broadcasted on
the grain with good effect. He pre-i
wnbes this treatment where the:
grain is off in color and the land is
*ell drained and not sour.
"The efficiency of sulphate of am
monia as eompared with nitrate of
rods is about 90 percent," says Prof.;
Williams. "This is proven by onr
field tests. When tho sulphate and the
soda are selling for about the same1
priee, the sulphate is eheaper to use
and equally as efficient as a top
dreseing. It is a little slower in action j
but sufficiently rapid foil all practical
parposes."
?he applications of these two forms
?f nitregen should be made uniformly
?tfer the field about the time the
grain is beginning to send up shoots
for the seed heads. The exact time1
will depend on the soil and the seas-!
on, states Mr. Williams. It is best al-!
ways to be sure that the plants are
free from dew or rain so that the
material will not stick to the leaves
*r>d injure them by burning.
If the small grain plants have a
toothy green color, it is hardly nec
essary to go to the expense of pur
chasing the nitrate materials for top
dressing, Mr. Williams states.

GRAHAM COUNTY \
HAS NEWSPAPER
Graham county, until only a few
years ago, isolated from the remaind
er of the world, a "lost province"
in the most literal sense of the word,
is lost no longer; and GrahoiU is
oelebrating the end of its isolation
with a remarkably rapid progress.
A few years ago the first step was
taken, when the State highway sys
tem penetrated the fastnesses of
Graham, and built a rood from Top
ton to Robbinsville, a road offering
scenic effects of grandeur and] variety
hardly equalled anywhere in all West
ern North Carolina.
Then came the railroads?almost
simultaneously lines entered Graham
from Maryville, Tenn., and from Top
ton?the county's first railroads. U
is the Topton road, however, that
means most, for it goes directly to
the eountyseat.
Next came the county's first bank*
opened a few weeks ago with de
posits ?in ooinss an<| 'currency?
of $15,000 the first day. And
jfalong with its other proogress was
I , , ?
the building of two. fi$e new school
buildings, together with consolida
te a* rapidly aa road and housing
fheilitiee Would permit.
The latest step is a newspaper^
Graham county 'a first journal.
The sheet will make its initio I ap
pearance on Monday, February 28,
It is announced, and weekly there
after. It was felt by progressive
?itiiens of the town of Rcbbinsville
and of the county that the time had
?ome to advertise the advantages of
the town and county to the people
of Oraham itself, as well as to the
world. And such the Graham County
Hews will seek to do, its management
