Knock Outs Lose To Rock Quarry 20-1 Ihe Knockouts suffered their most severe defeat of the season Sunday when the Trego nine tram pled over them 20-1. The team that played Trego was called the Knockouts but really it was a com bination of players from the In dians, Rinkev Dinks and Knock outs. A large crowd witnessed the game and saw Allen, Trego tosser, baffle the visiting club. Al len struck out eight and only gave up seven hits. Crowder and Mills led the local offense but could not hit at the opportune moments, so the KO. score was kept small. Triego reached Monk Crowder for 10 safeties and only by very loose playing on the side of the KO.’s were they able to add up such an overwhelming number of runs. The Knockouts totally made decide the score. Crowder fanned l-i miscues which was enough to six and walked three. The loss of this game gave Trego an edge over the Knockouts in the series of games they have played this: season. Messrs W. L. Manning, S. T. Peace, Hugh Camp, J. R. Alls brook, Kelly Jenkins, A. N. Mar tin, S. T. Peace Jr., and Carroll Wilson spent last week-end on a fishing trip to Cape T.ookout. Mrs. Gertrude Williams and Mrs. Ann Daniel visited in Enfield last week.

Kidd and children spent several days this week in Rockingham. Miss Eulalie Robertson has re turned home after spending sev eral days in Rocky Mount. Roderick Meikle spent the week end at Nags Head. Miss Blanche Robertson o f Rocky Mount is the guest of Miss Eulalie Robertson this week. HOW TO GROW MORE CORN AND BETTER (Bv E. K. Veach, Aurelian Springs Farm Teacher) One of the most economical means of increasing the corn yield is through the proper selection u! seed. It costs no more to cultivate improved types of corn that it does scrub types, so whatever increase is made by the improved type is a net gain. Many people wait until about planting' time and select c i n front tile crib, thus losing' the most valuable opportunity for im proving their yields. Each spring' good seed corn is scarce, because so many farmers depend on their neighbors for their seed rather than selecting and try ing to improve seed from their own fields The selection of good seed in other crops as well as corn should be considered more serious ly among the majority of the fann ers in this and adjoining counties. The good seed program Is one of the most progressive steps in ag riculture in this state for the past three or four years. Then if this county expects to prosper and com pete with other counties in the State and ether states from an agricultural standpoint, it must keep up with some of the improved practices being carried on by the other counties in this State as well as other states. It is hard to realize the tremen dous loss in the yield of corn caus ed by planting- inferior seed each year. A full stand may be ob tained from inferior seed, but the yield will be lower than good seed would have produced. If good seed could be manufactured in a few weeks time, factories would be working day and night from March untli June. By good seed corn we mean the following: 1. It is well adapted to the soil where it is to be grown. 2. It is of high yielding variety and from the high yielding stalk of that variety. 3. It is well matured and well taken care of from ripening time to planting time. 4. It is free from disease and insect injury. Such freedom may indicate resistance to infection. There are many ways in which | a farmer may select and gather his corn, but one of the best ways is to go thru the field when it be gins to turn brown and mark the stalks that are to be saved for seed Then before gathering the entire crop of corn, go thru and gather the seed corn. The methods of selecting seed corn and the kind to select are, ears from the proper types of stalks grown under average con ditions. By this we mean strong, stocky stalks that have stood up well under storm conditions, that bear two good ears, that are me dium heignt from the ground, and that have no advantage over the other stalks as to distance, manure or fertilizer. Never select from a stalk that is standing alone no matter how large the ears or stalks may be. The ears on these good stalks should droop over to prevent the entrance of water in to the grain. The shucks or husks should cover the tip of the ear complete’y and tightly in order to help keep out insects. Uusally fairly maturing corn is preferable to that which matures late. Other things being equal large, short ears are pre INDIANS WIN 5-2 The Indians decided the cham pionship of the Damask City Sat urday when they defeated the Knockouts o-2. Finch, hurling fo’ the winners held the opposin team scoreless until the last in ning and then with the aid of er rors the K.O.’s were able to score two runs. The Indians outhit their rivals, getting’ 7 singles and a double while the Knockouts only grabbed 7 singles off the offering of Finch. Edmondson led the In dians at hat with 3 singles. Eil Speight gathered two singles and Fletcher Dickens also hit a dou ! hie and a single. Jones got a hi' to continue his record of collect ing a safety in practically every I game. ' Finch whiffed six to equal the I record set up by T. B. Browning. I Finch walked two and Browning passed four. Welch and Brown ing were the big guns in the K.O. offense, each connected with the deliveries of Finch to total two. i This game does not decide the I fact that the Indians have the best j ball club in the city but it will probably be accepted that way as these two clubs will not likely meet again this season. Dewey Bowsell has returned to his home on Jefferson St., from the Halifax Sanitarium, where he has been for five months. He is getting along fine. Dr. Kayell M. Young of San Francisco. Ca., and Mr. John L. Moyers, o^ Atlanta, Ga. will be house guests of Miss Traynham Wyche for several days. ferable to long small ears of equal productivity. As soon as the corn ears are se lected they should be hung up in a perfectly dry place, or spread out in a dry place to let the moisture pass out. Never store it in bags, boxes, or in barns until it is thor oughly dry. If weevils have al ready gotten into it, the corn should be treated at once to eradi cate them. By following the above suggest- | ions for a few years, any farmer may have good corn that will not only pay him for his time in se lecting, but with which he may supply the needs of neighbors that have not selected good seed at a good price. There is probably no time spent in farm work that is more valuable than getting good seed. Next week there will be an ar ticle in this paper discussing the treating of corn to kill weevils and the care of seed corn until planting time.
