Ar. jther argument for a garden this
year—"Soak up the sunlight if you
want to be strong boned, vigorous
and healthy."
Many farmers have no money f o
pay high prices for fertilisers this
year, and county agents of State Col
lege are wisely assisting them in buy
ing the crude materials, working out.
fcood formulas, and mixing the fer
tilizer at home.
Agriculture extension work is hav
ng a marked effect on the agricul
ture of North Carolina. Reports made
by the county farm agents show «o
optration with hundreds of farmers
, ur.d statis' ics show that this coopers
tk>n is benefiting, both the counties
tnd the State as a whole.
It looks like a good year for tJfc
sheep industry, according to predic
tions made by the United States De
vpavtment of Agriculture. G. P. Wil
liams, sheep extension specialist for
State College, says there ia mors in

GOOD STATEMENT
Farmers & Merchants Bank Show j
Best Kecord in Years
In today's Enterprise there appears
one of the best bank statements thai
u local bank has made since the perio l
of deflation began in the advertisement
of the Farmers & Merchants Bank.
Deposits are over a half million dol
lars, and this is a considerable gain
over the last statement. Despite the
fact that several banks Jiave close I
their doors on account"of the shor'
crop of 1924 the patrons and deposi
tors jpt this bank have held their failli
and no withdrawals have been made.
Wh ? t is better, deposits have increas
ed Considerably.
• Bills payable are very small in com
parison with the deposits. They are
not quite $160,000, ano with these twn
items so favorable the bank officials
are very glad to invite the patronagt
and confidence of the people of the
county.
Banking and trading in your home
county means more prosperity for it,
which lightens the burdens of taxa
ticn and benefits every inhabitant.

ready known. In the championship
cries fur the boys teajns the James

and the Kveretts high school won sej;-_
■nil place. In. the championship se lie -
foi the girls' teams the Robersonville
High School won first place and the
| Kveretts High School won second
place.
The Jamesville High School deserves
much credit for having the best bask
ctball team in 'lie county and in this
•ection of the State, having won all
names played this season, most of
them by large majorities.
The Robersonville Kills are due high
praise for not only having the cham t
pion girl's teiun in the county but also
for winning high honors in the St,at •
championship series.
There wil Ibe two cup« awarilel
One to the school winning first place

it has stimulated a fine si'it of good
sportsmanship, imd it" Tftis
caused the work of the students to be
of a higher grade, in spite of the
criticism that has come from some
quarters that too much time was be
ing given to basketball. Principals of
.everal schools in the county will tel'
you that some of the highest grade
mmle in a number of the classes in
their school were mude by those stu
t'ents who have participated in these
championship games. I,et's get be,

I All efforts to disrupt the Tobacco

I were apparently abandoned last week
| when the North Carolina senate- re
ferred the substitute for the Grady
I ill to the senate committee on agri
culture. This action was regarded by
leaders as ending all chances for an
anti-coop bill at this session of tho
legislature, which is due to adjourn
thi. week.
When the senate held a hearing on
the Grady bill metiers of the asso
ciation from 15 North.Carolina coun
ties were on hand to testify in behalf
■WjJ'h'V association, hu.t were not giv-
J opportunity'oWing to the short
allowed for the hearing.
Congressman Hallet Ward spoke be
lore the senate committee on tho
Gr;uly bill, anil judging by the ap
plause he received the audience was
iil.iwst unanimously against the bil!,
-which was characterized as "'legal
: in inler" of the growers' organization.
. lie fitml attempt of those opposed
■ to the association was to get through
i substitute bill allowing judges to
; irtunt injunctions at their discretion,
'"which would practically annul, th?
j i :;hts of the association to require de
liveries from members. This was tha
. I th;nl attempt during the present leg

was the Hraswell bill m the House
| 'he hearing on this bill being attend
j i'l by a large crowd supplied with
printed badges announcing "I am foi
the liraswell bill." Reports reaching
Raleigh were to the effect that op
ponents of the growers' asscci *ion
had spent much money and time in
getting this crowd to the hearing on
the liraswell bill.
