PREVENT INJURY TO ORCHARDS BY CARE Shallow cultivations until the mid dle of September or until the winter cover crop is planted and a small ap plication of fertilizer 'o each tree will keep the peach orchara in good vigor during the late summer and fall and will prevent a great part of the win ter ir.jury. ? "This is especially true this year," says C. P. Williams, associate horti culturist at State College, "as the dry season during the ripening period has put a severe strain on the trees and hai taken away much of the natural vitJIty. The orchard should be cul tivTted often enough to keep down the weeds and grass with a fertilizer application "immediately after har vest." The fertilizer should consist of some readily available nitrogen and enough should be applied to each, tree to equal one pound of nitrate of soda. ; Mr. Williams gives four reasons for. this fertilizer application. First, he says, it will aid in the development of strong fruit buds for next year. I Second, it will build up the food stor age in the tree; third, it will delay, dormacy which will give the tree a : longer season to elaborate stored food, and; fourth, the trees will go into the winter in a good strong condi tion. Fertilizer experiments conducted in i he past six years show that no win-; tor injury has occurred in those or- . chards with a late or heavy fertilizer application. The only injury recorded was in those orchards having ex tivmoty low amounts of fertilizer. The dry season has depicted much of 'he trees' vitality and Mr. Williams! recommends a liberal use of fortiliz- ' or this year with corresponding cul- ? tivations in all peach orchards. Only I by these practices can tho orchardist 1 ho sure of any degree of control, he ^ays. REV. JAMES ?/. GRAY ( Contributed ) The funeral services of Rev. James ?J. Gray at Pleasant drove Baptist church recently were very, impressive. The great number present attested 'ho esteem in which Mr. Gray ?vas held throughout a wide community. He had been the faithful pastor of <rt.v-two different churches during I long ministry. And by his noble ? '.ia.i es of mind and heart he had \ r ih.' love of his people always. Mr Gray had great skill in apply ing Bible truth to the things of daily life. His power of homely and apt illustration made him an effective preacher. This skill had two sources ? he knew the Bible and he knew the peo ple. And his rare common sense taught by the grace of God enabled him to divide the world and make due npnl'cation thereof. Many a man in Western North Carolina could testify today of the wise advice Brother Gray has given iti matters of family, church and community life. Ami many younger ministers there are who count him their spiritual father and remember SO-HYI THE IDEAL SOLUTION FOR HOME SANITATION FOR THE LAUNDRY Whitens the wash, removes fruit, ink, iodine, tea. coffee, grass, and other stubborn stains FOR HOUSE HOLD CLEANING Cleans, deodorizes and disin fects bath tubs, sinks, toitote and drain boards.

That is a question which every j business man of America might well ; ask himself. ! One of the big corporations of the i 'ountry is supplying a timely exam j ile that might well be followed by . thers, large and small. This is the ? hell Oil Company of California ihich has just announced a $500, JO advertising campaign. \ "In some quarters," says the ; ,'ompany in making its announce ment, "We were told to be content 1 .hat a depression is no time to under | lake the huge expenditure for equip ' mtnt, operating and advertising which are essential successfuly to launch new products. We were told to be content, to plod along with the products we had, and to hope that at some time the depression would end- 1 We believe the continuaneo of the depression is due more to the mental 1 attitude than to any other one thing, 1 and we most emphatically and dofi- j nitely refuse to allow ourselves to be ? influenced by such talk. "We believe that the only way to | regain prosperity, whether it be in ; the case of the individual or the cor- [ poration, is to deserve it. and that j means confidence, vigorous work and j cooperation. We are launching our | program because we believe that its I success will help not only ourselves [ but industry generally on the coast, i If our lead be followed in the same ' spirit, we think we need have no further anxiety about the termination 1 of the depression." Those are simple words but there , is a lot of self-energizing leadership j in them and a spirit of courage and ! optimism that ought to become con- j tagious. his words of counsel and encourage- ? mint in their time of need. One after i another told that day at his funeral j how he had spoken the word in reason j that gave courage to go on under i faculties. Eternity only can reckon! :p the good that he did. "Blessed are the dead which die in i the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith j the Spirit, that they may rest from j their cares, and their works do fol-; low them." The sympathy of the great circle 1 of God's people who loved him now, goes without measure to his widow to I his children all. and to his grand children. What a goodly heritage is theirs ! TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS AXSWERED AT STATE C'Okj Question ? How can I keep my po tatoes from turning dark in storage? Answer ? Keep the storage room dark as any exposure to light will cause greening. The best storage is an earth cellar with ample provision t ventilation. Summer storage, how ever. will be satisfactory if the room ??r building is kept dark. Any cool, well ventilated building will answer the purpose. Question ? How can t remove the Bordeaux spray mixture from my grapes after picking? Answer ? A solut^pn made of one part of hydrochloric acid to 500 parts of water is most effective. Dip the grapes in this solution for about one minute and then wash immediately In fresh water. Good strong vinegar v:ith from three to five percent acetic may also be used but this is much more expensive than the acid bath as the vinegar must be used full ' strength. The acid treatment is both safe and effective if used according i to directions and is recommended. I Question ? I have ample range and j an abundance of green feed for 200 pullets that will begin to lay about j the middle of October. Would it be | safe to stop feeding mash and de velop my birds on scratch feed alone? Answer? You would be making a great mistake. We have a large num ber of birds coming into the labora tory with a history of feeding condi tions similar to those outlined. In variably these birds show the result of such feeding and slowly develop constitutional weaknesses due to a lack of animal protein. Such pullets go into the laying house under a handicap and do not show good good , production. Continue the mash feed ing and develop the birds properly for profitable egg production.

WORD OF WARNING ! TO THE FARMERS; To Farmers Who Borrowed From The United States Government: When the President signed the bill early in the winter of 1931 creating a fund to be loaned to farmers who had suffered from the severe drought of the previous summer, that was an (lift of the Federal Government solely for th" relief of distressed farmers. Conditions did not improve very much last season and the Government again came to the rescue with money at a smaller rate of interest than farmers have ever known before. Henderson county farmers have borrowed a great many thousands of dollars from that fund. The number borrowing this season is about double that of last year. Report from several .'aimers already indicate that the money has been of much assistance and that the purchase of fertilizer mid seed would have been out of the action had it not been: for this fund. This fund may or may not be avail able next year. If it should be avail able this county should be included again. The President and Congress are seeking ways of assistance to Agriculture through good business and sound financing. Now, sound financing means that loans made to farmers must be repaid in full and as promptly as possible with the minimum of expense for col lection. Counties have been grouped together and a Government Field Agent assigned to each group. It is necessary for the Field Agent to stay in his territory until the collections are made. By making prompt pay ments of these loans the expense of collecting is greatly reduced. By paying our loans promptly we also create a favorable impression for the county, and it will be much less difficult to place ourselves on the list to receive loans in the future. The plan for borrowing from this fund has provided that the loan be repaid as the crops are marketed. Payments should be made when the money is in hand, no matter how small the pay ments fnay be. ] The Field Agent will be in the of j fice of the County Agent each Satur i day to receive payments. Please let | me urge that payments be made just I as early and as promptly as con jvenient to do so. Sincerely yours, 0. B. JONES, County Agent. '? Mendersonville, N. C.

FASHION ARTICLE NOTES ON THE BORE A COLLECTION Vera Borea is a designer who may be depended upon to introduce some thing novel and interesting, and her , collection was anticipated eagerly by j the American buyers now gathered in j Paris for the annual August open- ! ings. With a distinct flair for the original, yet always combining it with practically, her simple smart fashions are outstanding. Probably no design er since Sehiaparelli appeared on the fashion horizon has created the com ment and achieved the instant sue- i cess that Vera Borea has. One of the | novelties introduced in her recent j opening 'is a new crinkly, stretchable ? material called Borelastex. This ma- j tevial is a product of the United ? States Rubber Company, as its name | implies. Crinkley materials are in , high favor now, and this new version | will overcome the difficulty encount- [ ered by dressmakers in cutting the crinkle surfaced range of fabrics, and eliminate much of file fitting hitherto necessary. Borelastex comes in both f wool and silk, and Mile. Borea has j combined the two in some of her suit | models. She shows many suits in her j collection, and advocates straight skirts, sometimes with box pleats. The jackets are short and fitted, and ; many knitted blouses are shown. Some j of the amusing accessories she shows are belts of corded leather with mod ernistic metal clasps, wooden buttons, big metal pins like horse blanket pins, and neckjjcces made of fur tails fast ened together with leather rings. The I colors stressed in t his collection nre| a dark bluish green called Scarabee, i a dark rosy beige called Potter's Clay, ! a greenish white called Asbestos, and ' a greenish amber shade called Gold- j en Amber. A Return to Favor There is a revival of interest in both satin and velvet in the new col- j lections, and while neither of these \ materials have been exactly relegated J to the shelf during the last year or j two, they haven't enjoyed very great I popularity. Now however, with a va- j riety of new velvets offered by the great French silk mills, and an awakening interest in glossy satin to i offer a contrast to the range of dull | crepes so prevalent last season, it is | inevitable that the American dress j manufacturers will follow Paris' lead ; and endorse both .these fabrics. Wide j wale flat ribbed veivet is one new ; version which has been favorably re- j ceivcd. and st;| iped velvet is shown; in several houses. At every important opening so far satin has been shown in clear jewel colors, white and off - j white, for evening.

BREEDING PROGRAM i l For a hen to be a high producer j and therefore bo profitable to the | poultry farmer she must : mature i early, lay well s during the winter months and continue this production during the hot summer months. "The factor causing trie oirds to j lay for iong periods is referred to as I the quality of persistency and is in- j herited or passed on from the dam ; and aire," says C. J. Maupin, exten- j sion poultryman at State College. ! "Therefore, if breeding hens are se- i lected in the late summer or early ? fall and winter this quality can be noted and only the late molters se lected." j Those birds molting in June, July, j or before August loth 3re lacking in this quality and should never be used in the breeding pens. The best hens continue to lay through September and October and none even continue in lay much later and from this group should be chosen the next year's breeders. .Mr. Maupin states that good males are also necessary for continual high production in the flock and that at least one or two pedigreed males should be secured for a special mat-i ing pen of the best hens. These birds j should hav:> a pedigree record with| female ancestors laying 200 eggs orj more. He urges, however ,that on'y] those birds of known pedigree be; bought and that these be secured j from a reliable breeder. Records of four of the best flocks j in the State last year show an av-| crage production of 1 90 eggs a hen j with average returns above feed costs | of $2.70 a hen. On the other hand fouri of the flocks having the low-as!, re turn produced an average of only 121.3 eggs a hen for a net return above feed costs of only S.85 a bird. "Producers do not have much con trol over egg prices but they do con-; trol the breeding and feeding prac-j tices and in this way can improve i production and secure greater prof- 1 its," says Mr. Maupin. CROP RELATIONS IS GOOD FOR THE SOU A well planned rotation system will include those crops test adapted to soil and climatic conditions together with at least one legurce crop to be turned under each year; "This legume will not only add nitrogen to the soil but will also fur nish much of the necessary organic matter," says C. B. Williams, head of the department of agronomy at State College. "The crops, selected should fit in with the farm organiza tion and should also give a fairly uni form distribution of labor throughout the year." Mr. Williams states that such crops as rye, used in the rotations, will add to the organic matter but will not add nitrogen or other plant nutrients to the soil as will soybeans, cow- peas, crimson clover, lespedeza, red clover or other legumes. Three-year rotation experiments conducted for the past nine years on Norfolk sandy loan soil in the Coas tal Plain section and on the Cecil clay loam soil in the Piedmont section show heavy increase in crop produc tion where a legume was plowed under each year and where the reg ular fertilizer applications were made. Corn was used os the principal crop in both sections with cowpeas as the legume. The percentage of increase for corn was 128 in the coastal plan area and 150 in the piedmont area. Cotton followed by crimson clover as the legume was grown as the main crop in the sjjond year on the coas tal soil and showed an increase in production of 22.8 percent. On the piedmont soil, wheat followed by red clover was crown as the second rota tion. This crop showed an increase of 71.4 percent. If soils are to be kept in the best condition for profitable crop "produc tion a rotation system must be plan ned which puts back into the soil all the plant food removed by the grow ing crop," says Mr. Williams.
