Tobacco is selling High everywhere but somehow a pile looks different on our floor and when you sell with the PLANTERS you are apt to get just a little more for it. If you doubt this just bring us a load and when you get your check you will admit that there is something in it. When we say that there is not a more completely equipped Warehouse in this section we are not making an idle boast for it is true and we want you to come to see us. We will make you comfortable and we will make you want to come agam .m. ; ..va.-i; . DON'T BE DECEIVED and spend the balance of the time worrying over it, but drive straight to the Planters and you will never regret it. We know what your tobacco is worth and when a pile is knocked out you may know that you have received every cent there was in it. After you have received your money it is yours and we have nothing to do with how you spend it, but take our advice and save every piece of tob acco you have, all of the leaves laying around loose and all of the scrap, for it is worth while and will help much to wards swelling your receipts for your crop this year. Bring us your next load, we are expecting you. J. J. WINSTEAD, K. C. WAGCTAFF, T. T. HESTER.

UNDER CONTROL London a few nights ago gave out a most heartening story of how the British navy is fighting the U-boat menace. Reading that account and remembering at the same time what the American destroyers and armed merchantmen are doing for the Ger man submarine one can understand why losses from submarines in recent months have been kept down. The sub-sea boats are keep close. Ger many, it may be sure, is producing them as rapidly as possible but the task, of destroying vessels is. getting more difficult and dangerous all the while. The London report showed that the British navy is 'attacking the sub marine with the submarine itself, th? seaplane, the auxiliary cruiser, and the armed merchantman. Instances were given of successful encounters by all of these methods. The United States, too, it must1 be remembered, has just begun to fight the submarine. Huge sums of money already have beenN voted by Congsess to help put down the menace and more is to be voted. The best thought of the nation is at work on the task of discovering mechanical devices that will make warfare on the under sea craft effective. Theer is no question that the sub marine as a war weapon already has passed the maximum of its efficiency. News and Observer. 11 y . -.v - V V ft;,-At 0te AN ACRE OF RAPE AND RYE. When sown in September, or earlierf an acre of this kind of pasture affords, on the average, grazing for six 100-pound fattening pigs from the middle of October to May, provided a half ration of grain is-used as a ttp piement By C. B. WILLIAMS, Chief, Division of Agronomy, N. C. Experiment Station, West Raleigh. The rape plant closely resembles the ruta-baga during its early stages of growth; in fact, so close is this re semblance that often an experienced grower cannot distinguish between tljem. Its root system, however, is more like that of the cabbage. It likes cool weather and will grow dur ing any portion of the year after se vere freezing weather is passed. It will endure pretty severe cold weather in the fall and winter without being ma terially injured; in fact, it may be used for pasturage after being frozen, pro vided stock are kept off while it is frozen. It does not make much growth during the hot, dry months of mid summer. Under ordinary' conditions the plants will attain a height of 18 inches to 2 feet or more. The Dwarf Essex variety of the crop is best suit ed for us under Southern conditions. Possibilities of the Crop. Farmers are becoming more and more interested in the production of gresn crops for fall, winter and early spring grazing. Especially is this true of those who are engaged in the rais ing of hogs and poultry. For winter pasturage an acre or two of this crop will a unnl r manv tnna nf Ttut Htirtnst - j i , v vai by pigs three to four weeki alter 3d(xl feed at the time of the year when . green feeds are scarce. It has been fully demonstrated, by repeated trials sown broadcast alons or with other s crops like small grains and crimsoaV clover. In sowing with small grains V the rye, oats, or wheat sead abnnMtl;f first be drilled in or sown broadcast and covered an inch deep and tiisiLv the rape seed sown broadcast and?- lightly covered by means of a light ? smoothing harrow or brush. WharoV the rape is used alone, 4 or .5 pounds of seed per acre will be sufficient.' ';AV; good seeding, when sown with 'battV'.' would be iy2 bushels of Red Rust-. Prcof or Appier oats with ab:.ut 2 to 3 pounds of Dwarf Essex rapa soei . Rye .at the rate of 2 pecks or whaatr at the rate of 4 pecjsis per acre ia1 be substituted for the oats if fcund . ; desirable to make the substitution'. Another mixture that has been found'!' to give good results in supplying :2a-!.,- turage for hogs consists of a' seeding made up of 2 to 3 pecks of rye, 5 ta"' 6 pounds of crimson clover, and j pounds of Dwarf Essex rapj ied. Thta I latter mixture has proven particularly-.. I valuable for the mountain section for elevation less than 2,800 feet aixJTa sea-level. Usually with rape aloas ' -,? seeded in the mixtures indicated a&oro.-,, the grazing may. he started uiuaify.-' within ilii"tv tn civ-f Hqvo aft-o snvl. " J ing. Frequently during a favoralflo; season tne rape may be lightly grazed ; mg. WHEN TO QUIT ADVERTISING When the grasshopper Ceases to hop, And the cow quits bawling; ; When the fishes no longer flop, And the baby stops squalling; When the dunner no longer duns, And the hoot owl quits hooting, When the rivers ever cease to run, And the burglar stops his looting; When the vine no longer twines, And the skylark stops his larking; When the sun no longer shines, The young man quits his sparking, When the heavens begin-to drop, And the old maids stop advising, Then it is time to shut up shop And quit your advertising. Hartford. BRIGHT TOBACCO. All the increase in domestic con sumption of tobacco is in the smok ing division pipe and cigarette hence the great demand is for bright tobacco. For this reason, buyers are urging with very emphatic earnest ness that farmers pull their tobacco and cure it with as much color as pos sible. The extra care means extra dol lars; in fact; there is rich rewrad for the farmer who diligently saves every leaf of the weed this year. Even the "trash" araond the barn may aptly be likened to gold dust that will assay higfi in the warehouses throughout the selling season that is just getting started. Southern -Tobacco Journal. To Cure a Cold In One Day. that an acre of rape properly seed ed on good rich land will produce as much pork when U3ed as a hog pas ture as the same acre of land culti vated In corn. The rape can be grown much cheaper than the corn, as it will not require any cultivation, and the preparation of the seed-bed and seeding will be about the same for both. The hogs will harvest the rape crop, while- the corn must be harvest ed by the farmer himself. It should be remembered, however, that the acreage of rape that can be profitably utilized for pasturage on the average farm is limited, it usaully not being more than two or three acres. In feeding experiments at the Ala bama Statioa running for 147 days (November 9-ApriloT with pigs weigh ing approximately 45 pounds each at the beginning of the experiment, it was found that the two lots . of pigs fed on a ration of two parts of corn and one part of wheat shorts and allowed the use of a rape pasture during the period, produced pork on an average' of 34.4 per cent less cost per pound, counting the cost of providing the rape pasture, than did another lot fed on the same ration and confined in dry lots. In other words, the lots fat tened on rape pasture, supplemented with the necessary amount of the ra tio of corn and wheat shorts, made very satisfactory profit, while the lot fattened on the ration of corn and wheat shorts alone in dry lots afford ed little or no profit. Soil and Its Preparation. Rape is best adapted for growth on a deep, rich, mellow, loamy soil that is fairly well stored with Primus. It does not do well on the very light sandy or stiff clay soils because they are defiicient in organic matter. Any soil that will . produce wheat and corn well will be found suited for the p-rnwth of raoe. rn preparing the land it- should be well broken, then thoroughly harrowed into a fine, clean seed bed, as is usually done for tur nips or ruta-bagas. If the land has a liberal application of manure the previous year, so much the better. On average land it will be well to apply broadcast over the land, just after breaking and before harrowing, about 300 to 500 pounds per acre of a fertilizer containing 8 to 10 per cent available phosphoric add, 4 to 6 per cwit potash, and 3 to 4 per cent nitro gen. Stsding. For the Coastal Plata and Piedmont sections, the spring sseding may be made during March or early is April, and tut fall seeding any time between August . 20 and October 15; In the mountain section- the spring seeding will hire to be made An April and the fall seeding during the latter part of JuIy or early in August in order to should - Precautions in Grazing, In pasturing rape the hogs not be allowed on it until the plant are at least 10 to 12 inches hgh, tor it pastured before "this time the yoUnff plants will be likely to be pullid op; and killed. Care should be exerciiadT-. - too, that the number of hogs on tfi - pasture is not so large 'as tok3p th';l rape too closely graz?d, for such 'would ;J prove ra:ai to me plants ana tne iius--... of the pasture would thereby be mar, terially shortened. After being graxed, the plants should be given an oppor-''--tunity to get well started into growth.-, , before being grazed again. By dividVA". ing the field into lots these may -be pastured in succession. If sown on - . good land and properly handled - one acre of rape will provide grazing tor ten or twelve hogs for something lika two or three months or more PREPARING FOR A LARGER CROP OF WHEAT THIS YEAH FLOUR WILL BE HIGH NEXT YEAR AND FARMERS SHOULD IN CREASE THEIR CROP.
