than it will hereafter. Thousands of
farmers who had never been offered
anything of consequence for their timber
have been ready to accept ridiculously
low pric#?- simply because
they have not realized the worth of
what they had.
Within a few years from now, most
of the large, mature timber so suddenly
made available for the markets
by the coming of trucks and good
roads, will have been exhausted. We
shall then have to use each year only
about as much timber as we grow.
And when that time comes, prices will
inevitably go much higher than they
are today.- The Progressive Farmer.
"Crow fig bushes," says the Yorkville
Rnquirer. "The leaves will be
profitable after awhile if styles con- j
tinue to change." There are lots of j
other good reasons for putting out \
fig bushes eevn if styles should not }
revert to those of Mother Eve. Let's I
include a few figs When we send our j
order for app'es, peaches and pears j

soda leads the other nitrogen-carrying
materials in the profits produced by
crops. N | ,
Using millet as a test <jrop in pots, 1
a research study shows that nitrate
g
of soda Is the most efficient form of
nitrogen w^tt^ the other nitrates near- c
ly equal. Manufactured tankages x
range widely from a value nearly 1
equal to nitrate of soda to something v
like- one-third of that value.
Tests with cotton on both Cecil c
sandy loam and Appling sandy loam '
soils in Cleveland county proved that J
nitrate of soda as the sole source of
nitrogen in the mixed fertilizers took *
the lead on both types of soil. In '
Cumberland county, on the Wickham "
sanely loam, nitrate of soda was more 1
effective for cotton than sulphate of '
ammonia or mixtures of the soda or 'a
sulphate of ammonia with dried blood, If
fish scrap, tankage or cottonwood
meal. In Anson county on a Norfolk a
sandy loam, nitrate of soda was a c
better source of nitrogen than either j
sulphate of ammonia, cottonseed meal '
or dried blood when all the fertilizer 1
was applied to cotton at planting time.
On a Georgeville sandy loam in Anson 4
county, nitrate of soda was best for 1
cotton. The same was true of a Marl- '
boro fine dandy loam in Sampson ^
county, a Norfolk fine sandy loam c
in Sampson county, a Portsmouth fine h
sandy loam in Chowan county, a Cecil ^
sandy loam soil in Union county, and ^
a Cecil clay loam in Mecklenburg c
county. In many other cases the best
crop yields were secured where this
form of nitrogen was used either wholly
or in part in the fertilizer. I

Raldigh, N. C., Feb. 10.?The severe
drouth of the past summer 0*
tendinjg into the late fall in the Pied- .'
mont and Mountain sections of North :
