616 LIBERTY LOAN 15 HIGH SHERIFFS IN NORTH CARO LINA ARE CALLED IN MEETING. JUL PLEOBE HEARTY SUPPORT Eighty-nine Sheriffs at Meeting Prom ise to Scour Counties for Subscrip tions of Small Amounts. Raleigh "Four-fifths of the civilized world is engaged in a concerted effort to arrest one William Hohenzollern, generally known as the Kaiser of the Imperial German government," Gov. Blckett told eighty-nine of the one hun dred sheriffs of the state meeting at his call in the senate chamber at the State Capitol. Accepting the challenge thrown down, the sheriffs enthusias tically complied with Governor Bick ett's urgent request that they go into the highways and the hedges and bring in subscribers to the second Liberty Loan Bond issue by which the hands of the Highwayman of the World may be tied, and his depreda tions ended. By mobilizing the sheriffs of the State for Liberty Loan Bonds, Gov ernor Bickett believes that the State has taken a long step toward the achievement of its purpose to do its full share in the war. More than any other officials the sheriffs, he feels, come into contact with the men and women of the counties of the state who are able to take $50 bonds or $100 bonds, but whose fortune will not Stant greater investment. Many sheriffs were ready to sign pledges and make promises, but they were urged to return to their homes, spread the word of the intense need, and then get results. Incidentally, the sheriffs coming from all parts of North Carolina, or ganized a North Carolina Sheriffs As sociation, with dues of $2 annually, and with Sheriff R. H. Edwards, presi dent; Sheriff N. W. Wallace, Mecklen burg, first vice-president; Sheriff D. B. Stafford, Guilford, second vice-president, Sheriff Leon Lane, Chatham, third vice-president, and Sheriff J. H. Sears, Wake county, secretary-treasurer. It was the first time in the history of the State that virtually all the high sheriffs have been assembled in one place. They came together upon the telegraphic request of Governor Bick ett, who simply notified them that mat ters of grave importance to the State and nation called for their presence in Raleigh. From the coast to the moun tains they came, all eager to have a share in whatever the governor might propose for the best interest of the State and nation. The eleven who were not here sent telegrams explain ing their absence. Until he made them JLMg,tli)trTr,jinlUJnrol,nii..iiii . ' 1 E COUNTY PPOR TIQNMENT UBERTY BONDS.

"Good-bye. boy." he had said, "while you are gone I'll be trying. I'll be here in the game and I'll be trying to keep the State as good as It can be." Mr. E. B. Crow, cashier of the Com mercial National Bank, then outlined the details of the Liberty Loan and the manner of subscribing. This done, the meeting was turned over to the sheriffs who voted a rousing approval of the governor's proposal, pledged themselves to pet to work, and then ROTATING CROPS ASSISTS WHEAT YIELDS liiiiiiipiii SPLENDID WHEAT FIELD IN THE SOUTHWEST (From thi .Jnlted States Department of Agriculture.) Whethi Southern farmers can re turn their nllotment of the billion bushel wheat crop next year will de pend in 1 rge part on how they arrange their crcp rotations how they seleet fields for planting to wheat this fall. In special publications soon to be is sued, wheat specialists of tlu United States department of agriculture will call attention to the importance of ro tations in the greater wheat-product-tion plan. Mention crop rotations to a fanner who does not practice them systemati cally and he is likely to get the impres sion that such a system of farming is rather an unnecessary, complicated round, and yet once understood, no theory of farming is simpler or more logical or more necessary, the special ists point out. Continuous Cropping. What happens when land is cropped continuously to wheat is a depletion of soil fertility, n deterioration in the physical condition of the soil, in creased growth of weeds, mixtures of varieties and lowering yields of poor quality. .Even if soil fertility and a fairly good physical condition of the soil are maintained bysthe addition of chemicals, continuous cropping is not advisable on account of Its cost and the further reasons mentioned. Wbeat should be grown only in rota tion with legumes and cultivated crops. Local conditions should -determine the rotation and the particular crop to be used. Wherever possible wheat should follow some legume crop, such as cow peas or soy beans, as better yields are obtained after these crops than after corn. Rotation in Cotton Belt. In the southern part of the cotton belt, where the boll weevil is a serious pest, 'and often walks off with an en- RAISE HOGS IN SOUTH Large Part of Pork Now Comes From States in Corn Belt. No Reason Why Industry Should Not Be Developed in Other Parts of Country, Especially Where Green Feed Is Plentiful. The imperative need for an abun dant food supply this year demands an increase in pork production. All the agricultural authorities unite in declaring that the live-stock holdings Almost Worth His Weight in, Gold. f farmers already are too low and fiat they must not be reduced further i order to obtnin greater yields of apie crops. Fortunately this Is not tecessary. Hog raising can be ex- nded in many sections of the country here It is now of little importance nd the total supply of human food lcreased accordingly. At the present time a large part of ur pork comes from the few states i the corn belt, where it is the com ion belief that hog raisers possess Ivantages that farmers In other sec ons lack. This, however, is .not al )gether true. The South, the East, nd the extreme West possess advan- ages of their own and there is no eason why the Industry should not e developed extensively in those re- ons. tire crop, the following rotation is giving good results: First year Cotton. The cotton stalks plowed under early and wheat sown. Second year Wheat, followed .by eowpeas or soy beans to be cut for hay. Third year Corn and velvet beans. Beans and cornstalks pastured and turned under in early spring for cot ton. Good farm practice under boll-wee vil conditions requires that the cotton stalks be plowed under as soon as the j bolls are ail open and picked, care be ing taken to cover the stalks complete- . ly In order to destroy the Insects. The land should then be -gone over with a ; roller and the wheat sown with a disk drill. Harrowing is not advisable, a it unearths the burled stalks. Wheat Following Cotton. When velvet beans are grown with corn, which is the common practice in much of -the southern half of the cot ton belt, wheat cannot le sown in the standing corn ; neither can the crop be removed in time for fall seeding. It is necessary then that wheat follow some other crop than corn. Fortu nately better yields of wheat can be expected following cotton than after corn. For the northern part of the cotton belt the rotation may be as follows: 1. Cotton, with crimson clover sown at the last cultivation and plowed under the following spring.. 2. Corn, with eowpeas sown between the rows at the last cultivation. 3. Wheat, followed by eowpeas, fol lowed by rye, to be turned under in the spring. The eowpeas following the wheat crop may be cut for hay, or they may be disked in or plowed under as green manure. In tobacco-growing sections wheat may follow tobacco In the rotation. The South has an abundance of vegetation. Cowpeas, soy beans, vel vet beans, and peanuts are leguminous crops which do well there and have great value in - pig raising. Corn grows rapidly In all parts of the South and In the subtropical sections the j experience of feeders with cassava indicates that it .hiis considerable value for pork production. In addi tion, there is generally an abundant water supply, the cllriate is mild, and there Is a long period in which green feed is available. These conditions, which also lessen the expense of shel ter and winter feeding, permit a long i period of pasture and outdoor life. j PEAVINE HAY EASILY CURED By Making Stacks of Small Diameter Around Poles Crops Can Be ' Stacked Behind Mower. Peavine hay is easily cured, either on racks or stacked around poles while still green. By making stacks of small diameter around poles, pea- i vines can be stacked right behind the mower. Handled In this way the hay has a bright green color, and practi cally all the leaves, the nutritious part of the hay, is saved. MISTAKE IN SUNDAY RATION Many Farmers Give Horses and Mules Too Much Feed Sluggishness on Monday Is Result. Many farmers make the mistake of giving their horses and mules too much feed on Sunday, giving them as much as on work days or even more. The result Is that the horses or mules are sluggish from over-eating and Inactivity when Monday morning comes. SALT BENEFICIAL TO SOIL? Small Amount May Be Used for Iri provement. But Not to Exceed 200 Pounds Per Acre. A small amount of salt is in some cases beneficial to both crop and soil but in no case should Its application exceed 200 pounds an acre. Some crops feed on it, but not under ground crops, and salt slightly im proves the physical condition of soils CALOMEL WHEN BILIOUS? NO!

"No more an article than yourself, you villain." "You are. a noun, woman." "You you " stammered the wom an, choking with rage at a list of titles she could not understand. "You are a pronoun."

"On an ilutumn evening a group of Minnesota fanners sat round the fire in the general store and complained of the potato bugs' ravages. " 'The pests ate my whole potatf crop in two weeks,' said one farmer. " 'They ate my crop in two days, said a second farmer, 'and then they roosted on the trees to see if I'd ptant more.' "A drummer for a seed house cleared his throat. "'Gents,' lie said, .'all that's very re markable. Let me tell you, though, what I saw in our own store.
