MAY BE THAT FARM NEEDS ATTENTION A i'ami broken up into small, poor ly-shaped fields on which no syste matic crop rotation is practiced usual ly does not pay. When such farms have been reorganized, better results have been secured. "This is the finding o? the North Carolina Experiment Station in re organizing several farms at the re quest of owners in both piedmont and eastern North Carolina," says R. H. Rogers of the department of agricul tural economics at State College. "We have analyzed a number of farms where wo found fields about three acres in size and no definite crop ro tation. followed. A. sound cropping plan is impossible on such small, numerous fields and as result pro duction costs are high. Cover crops needed to reduce ero3ion and soil building legume crops are generally absent from the farming program and most of the plant food has to be bought each year." On such farms, Rogers finds the Tabor to be over-worked during a few months ai:d practieally idle for other long periods. The experience of past years in reorganizing farms shows first the necessity of an inventory of all prop *r' next, the need of a detailed map <>f .'he farm; third, a definite crop pir'j? plan, which may be changed aa ti d; fourth, fields rearranged to si"v the cropping plan adopted; fifth, addition of livestock according to the amount of feed produced and sixth, a budget of production and farm in come. Mr. Rogers believes that a simple record should be kept of returns from t'iolds and crops and that the ruticolv information issued each spring should be carefully studied. By following these general plans, it has been possible to increase farm earnings from 10 to 20 percent, he says. FASHION ARTICLE (By Special Arrangement Betweer This Newspaper and Harper's Bazaar) Talbot Draws /I Veil Paris hats this season show a vas1 amount of imagination. Thoy do no1 run true to a set formula nearly as much as they "have in past years but break out in all sorts of or'gina ways. They are worn absolutelj straight on the head, low over th? eyes, or tipped at a mad angle, se1 firmly well down onto the head, 01 shallow, perched dangerously. Thej dip deep into the back of the neck, 01 are pulled to the front (this mos1 frequently). Trimming is eithei straight in front, shadowing the eyes or high in the back. It's a granc time for you to indulge in just the sort of hat you think does the most for you and be .perfectly in the pic ture whether you like your crowr.s square or pancaked, your brims roll i ir ,-tra'jrht. Suzanne Talbot is having real fun with veils. Thej mav nave started in just the usuai sort of way, hut she's sensed their possibilities for trimming and they're highly decorative. They are pinned in place. A large oblong diamante brooch, plunked right on the top oi the hat holds the mesh where 3hs wishes it. And she wishes it to make a definite pattern of plaits and lying edges and upstanding crests. Or she uses two little clips to do the work. The hat is generally more or less hel met shaped, perfectly .simple, of course.- as it would have to be. The result is so French you'll think you're in Paris when you s " yourself in one. Very gay and. cheery to a jaded morale. Trousers Ag-ihi The whole matter of jnjamas has assumed reasonable proportions after a hardly waged battle. You wear them, or not, as you plea<e, in yoijr own home, for entertaining and in the summer for yatching, beaching and general out-of-door activities. You don't wear them at all if you don'l want to. Purely a matter of jfersonal preference and a skirt is ways as smart, frequently smarter, 'a jamas are certainly useful for ' yatching because they don't blow about as wildly as skirts do. Still, a great many women on the Atlantic toast yatchted serenely in skirts this summer. An English house that does wonderful things with wonderful tweeds has just presented a new di ?ided skirt. This is hardly meant as news. Chiaparelli presented the skirt- trouser a year or more ago and the American woman firmly declined to wear them. But for winter sports a new tweed ''divided skirt" is per haps more graceful than the new short wrap around skirt that you are bound to resort to for ample leg room. There is no question that it ia terribly skillfully cut, more so than the one of past seasons. It looks like a skirt at all times except when you're conquering a mountain, or, alas, sitting down.

Unveilings at Canton i Camp No. 391 Canton, "N.C. unveil '?(1 Monuments to the memory of Sov . >re'gns S. W. Smathers, A. E. Sraath ' -''ft and M. L. Bartlett on Sunday th( ] VY White Pine Camp No. 213 Hen I lersonville did the unveiling for Can ! en Camp, those taking part were A1 : >rd Case, M. L. Reid, T. V. Lyda ! f. C. Brown, Miss Dorothy Lyda, San i "siren and Degree Team under com , :>'and of Captain E. E. Lyda, Musi , ,;ans were Mr. and Mrs. M. N. Qrr j Mr. and Mrs. McCall and Mr. Drake Sovereign James F. Barrett deliverec t 'he following address: t ''This unveiling ceremony, whili i 'edicated to an expression of our re , pect, love and honor for those inei I vho live among us and now lie hen r in God's Acre, is more of a lecturi > to the living than an honor to th< ; dead. These mounds, these monu r nents, this circle of friends an< r brothers, all point to us and sa< : Jo us that we, too, shall ai no distan t ' date be numbered among the dead ? and that similar cermoiies will bi , i held for each of us. These things I hesa evidences, all say to us that wi > should, while time and opportunity ; present themselves, make doubly suri . ; of our preparation to meet the cal j ; when it comes, be it day or night . 1 rday or tomorrow. "Nothing that we can do or saj ? here today can in anyway have anj i mfiuence or bearing upon those ii ? whose memory we come to serve a t his ceremony. The lesson for us t< ! team is a lesson for ourselves. Them i - onuments are not intended to hono] ' he dead, but to honor the lives an< i the work and the love and the in flu i incu of these brothers when thej ; were here with us. These monuments i >re mute evidence of the fact thai -ur brothers loved their brothers anc oved 'brotherhood. These monuments ' _'ou!d not have been thus erected anc unveiled here today had not these mer loved their brothers and lived in ths spirit of brotherhood. They joiner the Woodman of the World becaust they did love brotherhood. Thej j served in the ranks of Woodcraft be cause in that way they could servt their brothers. Had they been with out love for their fellowmen they would not have become members ol this great brotherhood. "These monuments are silent wit nesses of another great trait of char acter in tfia 'lives of'theee departed brothers. They testify that these men loved their families and protect ed them. The fundamental purpose of the Woodmen of the World is pro tection of the family of its members, therefore, these silent monuments speak eloquently to all who look upon them, and say in more emphatic man ner than words could express it: 'The man who lies buried here loved his family in life, and protected his loved ones, and made provision during his -life for their comfort and well being after his death.' "These monuments are witnesses to another great truth. They say to all who look upon them that the men who lie beneath the sod where these rr.onuments stand were men of good character and fine report. No man can become a member of the Wood men of the World except he be a good man. His application must be passed upon by a committee of men who know the applicant, and must be , given recommendation as a man of J good character and high and holy j purpose in life, and only those who are so recommended by his neighbors ; can obtain membership herein. . So, j wherever you see a monument like j these, you may well pause for a mo ? ment and bare your head and say: i 'Here lies a real man.' This is a solemn occasion. Mem > bers of the Woodmen of the World meet upon occasions iike this in most solemn manner, fully conscious of the pregnant meaning of the ceremony. This ceremony says to the surviving o-.emhers of the families and to the onblic that the interest and love of ! 'he Woodmen of the World for a member do not die when the member 1 dies. We intend this ceremony tc ! sav to you chat the tie which homn 1 us" to jour loved one in life was no' WANTS STUDENTS 10 ATTEND STATE FAIRS The exhibit? at the North Carolina State Fair to be held in Raleigh, October 1015, will this year afford all who see them a panoramic view of North Carolina's rating as the most progressive State in the South and one of the most progressive in the entire Union. It is especially de sirable that as. many students as pos sible attend this year's exposition, j j By doing this they will learn more i about their home State than can be j found in the meager means of in l formation at their disposal. Many ! students know less about North Caro I liaa than they do about Europe, but j apparently they are taking an in | oreasing interest in. how their State is operated what it produces, and ; how it stands in the sisterhood of I states. It is hoped that the school author ities in all neighboring counties will ? urge the children to visit Raleigh during the week of October 10-15. It i has even been suggested that they I allow credits to those who make a I study of North Carolina at the Fair ? and report their findings. i All phases of North Carolina life will be depicted in the exhibits. The ' Department of Agriculture, with its ? various activities; the State College, : with its numerous means of spread ? ing knowledge in the State; the De partment of Conservation and Devel ! opment, and many more vita! agen cies will be on hand with their work of instruction.) While the exhibits which are expected to crowd every available inch of space this year, will be too numerous to mention in de tail, yet the entire outlay will give the spectator a composite picture of the Old North State in all its glory, . both actual and potential. Increased attention is being paid - the importance of the State Fair as ? an educational agency. There will be - nothing "academic" about it ? that - is left to the classroom ? but it will - be conducted along those practical , lines that will make a lasting im i pression. - j The livestock exhibit this year will - be of an outstanding character, as ? 1 well as other exhibits showing North . | Carolina's increasing tendency to be 1 come a thoroughly self sustaining | state. 3 j - ! broken with, or since, his death. We i have simply extended that tie to the s | widow, the orphaned child, the father, 5 ; the mother, of him who wrought so J well in Woodcraft while he lived. " I "The Woodmen of the World com ' L bines the spirit of Fraternalism with f \ the protection of the family. Wood t [ craft holds that no real man can be ?> ! a real brother in a fraternity unless ? he is truly loyal to those who are de > i pendent upon him. This great chain 3 i ox protection pvovided by the Wood ' j men of the World encircles the na - i tion and embrace with its fond fold ' j every member of the families of all > ? of its members. It protects the mem ! ber in life and provides for his loved r ! ones after life is gone. It loves and r j honors its members in life, and gath i ! crs here today to express its unbroken t ; anci ever-increasing regard for the > : memory of its members after they ; i have entered into the Great Forest of r | Woodcraft on the other side of the i j River of Life. - 1 "To the friends who have gathered r here today, and to the people of this i community who have not been initi t ated into the fellowship of Woodcraft. I w? would make sincere appeal for a i proper understanding on your part 1 . of these ceremonies now being per i formed. It is not being done for s ' show, or display of any boastful spir I I it. The members of the Woodmen of s ! the World who have gathered here ? for this occasion come from many ? camps and distant places. Each bears s his own expense of the trip, and gives ? freely of his own time in coming and ? joining in these ceremonies. What ' j greater proof can be offered of the sincere, brotherly regard that is man . ifested upon this occasion for those , who lived among us and now lie in ?i'ence at ov^ feet? We recommen4 | unto you this great order of frater , nal regard, and if thare be among; your number a man who loves his . family and knows what it is to have regard for his fellowman, we suggest that you investigate still further the great record of achievement of which the Woodmen of the World is justly proud. "To the families of these brothers in whose honor we have met, we leave this sacred ground with these monu ments as everlasting evidence of our deep love for each one of you, and they are to be taken to mean that you may call upon a member of the Woodmen of the World wherever you see him, for any service that he can render for your relief or advance ment. "As these upright monuments point toward the sky, so also does the teach ing of the Woodmen of the World point with unerring finger to all its members to ever look upward, toward the land of everlasting love, where the spirits of our brothers now dwell, up there with Jesus and His angels. May we be ready to join our brothers when the summons comes is the pow erful prayer expressed in this solemn ceremony."

What caused 1 Ci :his and how _ can I correct the j ]j :rouble? : Answer: From your description it',} ?vould seem that the soil is too acid ? 'or spinach. This crop will not-grow u sn acid soils. It will come up to a good a stand but will not grow off. Have ! S( ,'our soil tested by the County Agent j y [tl days that we have about decided . s] to make folks pay off or get a f< "expose" in this here eollum and di give the folk what they want. A b< profitable racket, eh, whSt? 0 SAYS SOYBEANS IS STATE'S BEST CROP C. R. Hudson, veteran farm demon stration worker at Stats College, ana the; man who began county agent work in North Carolina 26 years ago, scclaims the soybean as one of the State's greatest crops and considers its spread over this State as one of the greatest agricultural accomplish ments of recent times. Recounting the use of the soybean, Mr. Hudson soys the farmer of east ern Carolina uses then-, in the drills between the hills of corn, in the middles between the rows, separately in rows and broadcasted. "Soybeans are vigorous inJ&ipwth, easy to cultivate and matnSKUht a short time," he says. "UauaHy they do not decrease the crop of corn when planted with it and are often worth as much as the corn crop itself The beans are used for grazing livestock, especially hogs; mowing for forage; turning under for soil improvement, and are harvested for seed leaving the vines and stalks on the land. They make a fine quality of hay and cure more readily than most hays. They stand wet weather better than cow peas and are not badly injared by dry weather." As a sules crop, the hay- and seed both bring good prices, he declares. In many communities of eastern Car olina farmers are building up their soils with this crop while at the same time they are selling seeds and hay. Nor is the soybean confined to east ern Carolina. Plantings are -being increased rapidly in the western part of the State as farmers learn of their value. It is not generally known that North Carolina gave the soybean to the nation^ says Hudson A cam paign to increase the popularity of the legume waa conducted in the State several years ago when only a small acreage was planted in the extreme coastal section. Now the _ irop is one of the most popular in the mid-west corn country. and, if it is very acid, apply suffi :ient lime to almost neutralize the soil i>efore spinach is planted ag ajn. Question: I have a young peach or chard located o a poor soil ? and I would like to know how to build up this soil and at the same time pro luce a good capp of fruit. The use of yetch has been suggested. Is this crop sufficient? Answer: The use of vetch should ?rove satisfactory as many orchards mder our observation that have been n vetch for several years are giving ixcellent results and require very Ut ile commercial fertilizer. A good crop - >f this plant will supply Ammonia sqaivalent to that contained in from me thousand to fifteen hundred jounds of an 8-4-4 fertilizer and will ilso add considerable humus to the oil. In establishing vetch on land vhere it has never been grown it is lecessary to innoculate the soil. This an be done by using from two to hree hundred pounds of soil to the .ere from a field that has produced ;ood crops of vetch. Screen the soil nd run through the fertilizer com iartment of a grain drill. The vetch hould then be seeded through the eed compartment so that the wed rill come in contact with this rib en of innoculated soil. Question: I want to plant some t abbage but my September planting ist year sent up flower-stalks in tead of making heads. What can I o to prevent this.? Answer: Flower-stalk formation is sually caused by one of two things ? bnojmal temperature changes or ceding too early. We cannot control le temperature but we can control ie time of seeding. Seed for the ?ring crop should not be sown be >re September 15th under any con itions and in most cases it would be Jtter to wait until September or ctober 1st before sowing.
