The dge method has returned about !0 an acre profit in a number of sts conducted with us by leading >bacco growers of eactern and iedmont Carolina. We have a little rcular published here at the colge which describes just what we iean by ridge cultivation. Each step explained by drawings and photo:aphs and the method is easily folded." Ten farmers of Onslow county led out the ridge method comired with flat cultivation on 40 ;res of land last year. The averse increase in yield given by the dge method was 170 pounds of af per acre. This tobacco sold for ) cents a pound and gave a net ? xi I icrease of $68 per acre over uie at method.

This matter will be further discussed with ;he commissioners at their May meeting. The scope of the work of ;he infancy and maternity nurse has been enlarged, it was revealed at the meeting. Her work may now include school work, quarantine and vaccination duties as well. It was decided to place this work under the control of the health office who is responsible to the board of health.

Property To Be Sold Unless Taxes Paid Before First of May All taxpayers who fail to pay their taxes before the first of May will have their property advertised, according to Sheriff O. D. Williams, who is acting upon instructions of the board of county commissioners I and in accordance with the county government laws of the State. This action was forecast in a letter to the chairman of the board of county commissioners from Chas. M. Johnson, executive secretary, of the County Government Advisory commission. Writing under date of April 20th from Raleigh, he says in part: "Your attention is respectfully directed to the duties of the Board of County Commissioners and of the sheriff or other tax collecting officer in regard to advertisement and sale of real estate for taxes. "The following is quoted from Section 4, Chapter 213, Public Laws 1927: " He (the sheriff or other tax collecting officer) shall, on the first Monday in May, report in full the uncollected taxes for the current tax year, and the county commissioners shall thereupon order sale of all land for taxes where the taxes have not been paid to be made fVia fircf TVTnnHav in .TnnP. and VS4A V11V U1U V ... w wy __ shall also make up a list of taxes due of taxpayers who list no land for taxes. The sheriff or other tax collecting officer shall thereupon cause advertisement to be made for four successive weeks, as now provided by law for such advertisement, of lands to be sold for taxes, and shall make effort to collect all taxes due by taxpayers who list no land for taxes. Sale of land for taxes shall be made upon the day ordered by the board: provided, that the sale may be continued from day to day until completed. "The provisions of the law are mandatory, therefore, and it is suggested that you bring the matter to the attention of vour sheriff or tax collector immediately." Sheriff Williams yesterday said' in comment upon this matter: "According to the new laws and to orders issued to me by the County Commissioners, it will be my positive duty to hand in a list of all unpaid taxes the first of May and immediately after my report being handed in the law demands that advertisement be made. "This may appear harsh; but such is the law, and I have no discretion in the matter, so come forward and pay to save yourself embarrasement and extra cost." Singing Class To Appear Here Sunday At M. E. Church The Singing class of the Methodist Orphanage, Raleigh, will appear in concert here Sunday morning at 11 o'clock in the Methodist church. The sacred concert is ex-l pected to draw a large crowd. Previous visits of the class here have always pleased, and the program this year will be of the same high order. A free will offering will be taken for the institution at the morning hour. A cordial invitation is being extended all denominations to attend.

He told the graduates that their diplomas were boons long wished for and earnestly desired, but like David's drink, they came through the sacrifice of others, the parents, the teachers and taxpayers. He pointed out that their education had not only increased their capamfTT frtl* err\r\A Klif a,nl ne nrall Mviwj ivi gvsvsvt, wuv ivi gvu ao w^n. He asked that they use this education, not for selfish purposes, but as an offering to God in the upbuilding of their town, county, State and nation, and toward the upbuilding of God's masterpiece, upstanding, clean men and women.
