Little bene may be expected if lime is plow under before being properly mix with the topsoil. On pasture* it only necessary to scatter the lime i top of the sod; however. bett< r suits will be obtained if it can be jrkcd in by light harrowing. "For most soils in the mountain ea. the following amounts of lime e needed for various crops: Alfal , 3 to 4 tons per acre; red clover, to 3 tons per acre; pastures, 1 1-2 2 1-2 tons per acre; and general ops. 1 1-2 to 2 tons per acre.

Thirty-Nine Years o As Recorded In The Enterprise May SI. 1M1 The insolvent tax list published in this issue is the smallest list in the history of the county. We congratulate our sheriff on the good work he has done, and espec ially in this instance Sheriff Craw ford is an energetic, whole soul man. and deserves the confidence apd support that our people give him/ There is a total of 102 names on the list; out of this number 62 left the county; 7 are dead; 1 in prison; 1 error, so stated in list and does not count as an insolvent; T, too old, and should not have been counted, this leaves only 30 that are now in the county and have not paid their taxes. Bear Grass and Griffins Townships have not a single repre sentative on this list. One of our citizens suggested that the county give them a medal. But. as it is not likely that our commissioners will give each tax-paying citizen in these , tomnehiM .J..I .. . i ? J townships! a medal, we suggest that the townships be placed on the hon 1 or roll. We think Hamilton Town ship ought to have creditable men tion, inasmuch as all but one on that list have left the county. The Enterprise heartily congratu lates the people of Martin County for responding so promptly to the call for their taxes. Two Hurt In Auto Truck W reck Near Everetts on Friday (Continued from page one) crashed into the back of the truck. MeCotter was only jarred by the impact and very little damage was done to the big truck.

(.urn V ield Reduced By Continued Dry Weather Wilson County's corn yield has been reduced considerably by the continued dry weather during the past several weeks, says Assistant Farm Agent J. A. Marsh. Cash farm income from market ings and government payments jn June amounted ot $587,000,000 as compared With $583,000,000 in the same month of 1939.

Promoted by truckers, the movement of the folden leaf was noticed here early Saaday afternoon when two heavily loaded trucks came from Ber tie and powrd on through for the border. Possibly eight farmers in this county called for their market ing cards here yesterday as a part of their plans to start early marketing on the border. No movement of tobacco is expect ed on any large scale from this section, however. Helpful Hints On Storage of Clothing Fall is not far away, and Miss Wil lie N. Hunter, extension clothing specialist of N. C. State College, of fers her annual hints on storage of summer clothing. She prefaces her suggestions with this statement: 'Grooming of clothing, that is, keep ing clothes clean, free from dust, dirt and odors, and keeping clothing in food repair, is as important as grooming of the person." Here are Miss Hunter's hints for >torage of summer clothing: All washable clothes should be thorough ly washed and mended before stor ing Cottons and linens should be laundered and stored unstarched be cause starch left in the fabric for long periods will cause deterioration. All stains should be removed be cause the substance causing the stain >ften will injure the fabric. Make repairs before steering the clothing so that it can be used as soon as it is unpacked next spring. Tl sue paper will help keep the ma terial free from wrinkles. Summer hats will retain their shape until next year if they are placed on a cone-?shaped stand made out of cardboard before putting them into boxe.Sf Felt hats should be brushed well and aired, but never exposed tc sunlight, before storing. When slightly discolored lace is stored, home economists recommend sprinkling magnesia lightly on the lace and wrapping it in blue papei to restore the original whiteness ol the fabric. Bathing suits should. be washed before storing in order to remove all dirt and salt, which serve to decay the material. Since- skirt lengths change each season, it is a good idea to take out the hems of dresses before washing or cleaning. The washing or cleaning will_ heip jemove~ the mark madt in the fabric when it was turned up Next season the skirt length car easily be adjusted and the frock wil look fr^h Thi? 's ???peri?lly help ful for children's clothes because they grow so fast from season tc season.
