? limestone Essential For Good Production By L. B. HARDAGE Extension Chairman Have you wondered why lime stone is so Important to farm ers? Most farm crops grow better, make higher yields, and sell for more money when lime stone has been used on the soil. This is reason enough to give all citizens of Warren County a stake in the current campaign to promote the use of limestone. Why do crop plants grow best and make more money if lime is used? Some mineral elements such as iron, aluminum, and manganese kill plants if large quantities are present in the soil water. Limestone keeps these elements from dissolving into the soil water in large quantities. On the other hand, some nutrient elements such as phosphorus and molybdenum become more available to the plants if limestone is applied. Therefore, to use or not to use limestone is no longer the ques tion. Now it's how much, when and what kind of limestone should be used. The "when" and "how much" are extremely important. Do not apply lime until you know the answers. The answers are easily obtained from the soil testing division of the North Carolina Department of Agri culture. All you have to do is submit a sample of soil (mix samples from about 20 places) from the field along with some information about the field. The agronomist in the Soil Test ing Laboratory will then de termine the lime needs as well as the fertilizer requirements for the crops you want to grow. Sample and mailing boxes as well as forms for recording the necessary information are available at the County Exten sion Office. As noted earlier, everyone In the county has a stake In this effort to improve farm In come. You may think your In come Is not dependent on the welfare of the farmer but he may well be the only segment of our economy who Is pro ducing new wealth. All real new wealth must come from a stored natural resource or from the recurring factors of nature such as rainfall and sun shine. The farmer Is continual ly trapping and storing these natural resources to keep the food, fiber, and agri-business segments of our economy flow ing in abundance. The agri-business members of our county are well aware of the Importance of the level of farm income. A few mem bers have accepted the reality that the most effective sales method is one of service. Sales then follow as the seller's pro duct becomes a necessary tool in the farmers production pro gram. An Inferior product pushed by any method serves only to stifle the economic system. If it doesn't make money for the consumer, little repeat sales can be expected. This is why the fertilizer indus try as a whole and their agro nomisl in particular are con cerned about the need for lime on the farms of their custom ers. They know that their fertilizers, no matter how good they may be, will make little money for the farmer If lime is his first need. Are you using all the lime you need? Are your farm customers using all the lime they need? It is estimated that the addition al money resulting from using the needed lime would equal that of a large new industry In the county. Are you willing to collect your share? North Carolina State Fair To Open Friday RALEIGH?The biggest open ing day In years is expected when the 102 nd N. C.

Baxter of War ronton around 1933 at the request of those who were getting up a pageant ? "a sort of fashion show of wedding gowns." Mr. Baxter said he found It while looking over some old papers. Prologue In a little while you'll spy Visions which delight the eye; Wedding Gowns beyond compare, Things of beauty, rich and rare. Could they speak, what would they say? Ah, but they shall speak today I In the sound of every rustle, Whether it be Vogue or bustle, They will sing their stories gladly, Whisper shyly, about them madly Come the style of "thirty-four" What could any bride want more? Or perhaps, sweet "seventy-six," (Simplicity . . .decked out with tricks.) "Oh memories that bless and burn," Oh fairy dreams which now return, "Oh barren gain, and bitter loss," CThe retribution of the toss Of some bright coin thrown in the air . . . And now the gloom of black despair!) The winnings of a gambler's chance . . . The sweet reward of true romance . . . What do they sing to you? ... or cry? These wedding gowns as they pass by? By all sweet scented history, By all soul stirring mystery, By fingers which caressed them clearly, By eyes that shone like stars, so clearly, By every palpitating heart, By the sweet pain of Cupid's dart, By all the tears which Joy has shed On alabaster cheeks, or red . . . By altars high and candles bright I conjure them to speak tonight! This one will speak of wealth and fame, This, of some long-forgotten name. This of a heart that seemed like gold, Yet was It iron In the mold. This sings a song of spring and flowers And love, the greatest of all powers. This one is mite like winter's breath This chants a psalm of grey-hued death, Yet one and all, as they pass by, Give men and boys the merry eye. For spite of gain and spite of cost, Be maiden short or maiden tall, " lis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all!" So steal yourselves with glad surprise For visions which shall charm the eyes. Dies h ItaMRt |p Funeral services for Cooper E. Smith, 58, war* held at 2 p. m.
