Treat Seed Oat* For Smut Control Kaleifch, N. G., Oct* 11 ?The -mut | "dUeasf? e of oattf can be largely con ti oiled by treating the seed before planting with a weak solution of lofmalin. The treatment will insure v?ran i:ats and bigger yields. There are nine important points to observe when treating the oats and these si* outlined by G. W. Fant, extension p!ant disease specialist at State Col lege, are as follows: 1. Seed to be treated should be ?placed on a hard-surface floor <ccn c ete or wo-d) where (he moisture -from the treating solution will not "be. injurious. 2. One half gallon of treating solu t.t n is required to treat each bushel ^rain. 3. The amount of scjution needed ?f * r treating: the seed is Calculated from the amounf of weed to.be treat* <vJ. .

If, instance, ten bushels of seed are io be treated* five gallons of treat* ' TRjtr scliitio nwill be needed.

Faced I with a price below the co?t of pro- j duet ion and one of the latest crops , o cot*:n ever produced in the S uth, I is is time that farmers of the State i gave more attention to maricet re parts and arranged their production ! to meet the situation. This is the opinion of Dr. G. W. Pester, head of the depatment rf agricultural economics at State Col legs. Early ip 192fi, pr. Forster'ai ( department issued* an AnUlcolt for the cotton crop for Chis year- in which it wa spointed ut that the American cotto ncrop for this yearj would likely be as large If not. larg er than in 1925. Two seasons pre- [ th; report, t'i:? production t *t' c&flfcmP had o?ecei?Qffd- c^TKurapcion ami cofecfl stocks had increased. The domestic and foreign demand j would not njaterially increase in ( 1926 bat would likely decrease and production costs wouli be about the same aa in 1025. These predictions based on a survey of the situation in the entire Natkn and on facta established by many years of ob servatio nand research have proven to be true this fall. Dr. Forester states that the chief advantage had by the cotton farm er is his control ;ver the supply of cotton. This control comes through the control over acreage. It has been proven that 54 per cent cf thi? actual supply of cot.f.n may be a:-? tributed fo changes in acreage and 46 per cent to weather condtiohs. It is evident, therefore that cotton farmers can, if they '.vish, cxerci^e control over th? supply and hen?-* ! over the -priFo. - 4>r^5r?!55!TTStcrr-rfo-'*r i n: t believe in the efficacy of * cam- ' paigns for the reduction of acreage.

Better lubrication from the moment the motor starts ? that's the secret of the new oil HUNDREDS of road tests on all types of cars and trucks prove that the new "Standard" Motor Oil produces results never before associ ated with motor oils. Typical of these tests is one with a Dodge, run over a 1,080 mile course from September 24th to October 22d, 1925, under engineering supervision. This test revealed 40.9% increase in oil mileage; 10% increase in gas mileage; smoother operation of the motor at all speeds ; more power; less drag on the hills ? all due to the remarkable lubricat ing properties of the new oil. You can verify these astonishing results in your own car. Just have your crank-case drained, Rushed and filled with the new "Standard" Motor Oil. Then expect results. You can actually feet the difference. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (New Jersey) 1 Advantages of "Standard" Mocor Oil 1 . Constant hjfaricatipau 2. MionmmifriclnL 3. under load or at bigk 4.

Dear Friend: We have organized the Boosters Club to help every (ine in Per. -on County. It is in no sense a money-making venture. It's sole purpose is to help, and we want the ladies, to know we have not forgotten them. We have secured the rooms under the old Post Office building, corner of Main and Depot Streets, and want them to use it for a "Rest Room." Water, lights, toilet, and all conveniences. It will be open at all times for your use. We are glad to say that the Roxboro Tobacco Market is ".-Hron#,"- r.bout a half million pounds were sold last week. It started off Monday better than ever, the price being around 80 cents average. Honestly, 1 believe yoti will be wise in bringing what you have stripped to Rox boro right away. When you come to Town if I can help you in any way, call on me. My whole time belongs to the public, and 1 want to be of service to you. Your friend. C. H. HUNTER, Sec.
