Every farmer owes it to him self, to his family and to pos terity, to take the best care of his land that he possibly can; to maintain its fertility and to keep it from washing away. Investigators, whether scien tists or practical farmers, have found that winter cover crops of any kind prevent land, in a large measure, from washing, and when turned under the following spring make it more productive than if no crop had grown on it. An experiment covering a num ber of years, in one of the North Western states, showed that more plant food was lost from the land during the months when no crops were grown on it than was taken off in the regular sum mer crops. If this was true in that state where they have long and cold winters when leaching is impossible for weeks at a time, how much more would it be true in North Carolina with her open winters when plant food can be leached from our soils almost any week during our winter months. A ton of green rye contains, according to good authorities, about 6.6 pounds nitrogen, 3 pounds phosphoric acid and 14.6 pounds potash. A ton of green wheat contains 10.8 pounds nitro gen, 3 pounds nhosDhcric acid. e W ater Power, with and 14 pounds potash.

Piete fall seed catalog .ssued. 'edfree. Write for potash. Red clover, Bur clover and the vetches contain more pTant food in their green state than crimson clover does. The wheat and rye mentioned above was probably grown on fertile land which explains their high percentage of nitrogen, for it is an established fact that crops grown on rich land contain more nitrogen than when grown on poor land. For that reason grain grown on rich land has a higher feeding value than that grown on poor land. It may be well for us to remember this when grow ing grain for our own feeding purposes. Rye, wheat and oats take ni trogen from the soil and store it in the plant, thus saving much of this costly element of plant food that would otherwise be leached from the land by our winter rains. lhe stools or bunches and their roots and leaves retard the flow of water and act as brakes which will pre vent to a large degree the wash ing of rolling lands. The clovers save the land from washing in the same way and in addition to this are beneficial by being able to take nitrogen Irom the air through the agency of bacteria which adds to the fertility of the soil. But to grow these latter crops successfully the soil must contain the bacteria peculiar to the particular crop grown. It has been the experience of many of our farmers that any crop grown after a winter-cover crop, when turned under at the nroDer time in the spring, and riickpH well before and after turning, will produce a grea rlpfll more, often as much as 50 per cent more, than if no win rlrv. ter-cover crop had been grown The seed for a cover crop wil for cost from one to five dollars an nr;n acre according to kind and quan Win . , , mu: tity ot seed usea. xm& save to the soil and add to the next year's crop more than twice the cost of the cover crop. Sow at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds crimson clover seed per acre and cover lightly with har row or cultivator. These can be sowed in growing crops, on stub ble land, or after peas. Sow from 20 to 30 pounds of vetch per acre if sown with small grain, and if alone nut from 40 to 50 pounds per acre. Rye should be of hp rate of one to one j(J W il " and a half bushels per acre. An application of manure, or from 200 to 500 pounds acid phos phate, per acre and 25 to 50 pounds muriate of potash on sandy or gray land, will be help ful to the clovers and vetcnes, For rye or other small grain it may be better to add 2 per cent The Gunter Girls. Raleigh Times. "The Gunter girls of Aiken" are winning Laurels for them selves and at the same time giv ing an object lesson to other girls on the farm, and boys and men, too, for the matter of that. The Gunter girls are tomato girls, and it was in South Carolina, we believe, that the tomato clubs originated and where they are now most flourishing. Miss Eu nice Gunter, of Seivern, Aiken county, the Columbia State in forms us, has already put up 668 three-pound cans of tomatoes from one-tenth of an acre, and will probably increase the num ber to 700. That means two thousand pounds of the vegetable or at the rate of twenty thou sand pounds to the acre. The state thinks that when a South Carolina girl makes such demon stration of what is practicable on South Carolina farms, that it is time to stop importing to the state "by railroads and steamers, or the consumption of South Carolinians, tens of thousands of cases of canned tomatoes." And he State is right This whole section ships in canned tomatoes, carload on top of carload, when could and does produce the finest kind of tomatoes right at home. It ought to produce a great deal more of them than it does, but it doesn't even take care of what it does produce and many bushels go to waste every year because of lack of home or ocal canning industries. What is made and goes to waste would not supply the home demand, but it would help some, if saved. "The Gunter girls" and others like them will have accomplished a great thing for their section if they succeed in increasing the output of tomatoes and increas ing interest in the canning indus try, not only of tomatoes, but generally. The other Miss Gunter, by the J.- TT7 iT t-'Uio Way, IS going to vvimmup mio year. By making a world's rec ord in tomato culture last year, she was given a scholarship to Winthiop and has passed the ex aminations necessary to entering the institution. She made a rec ord in tomatoes, and it is con fidently predicted she will make a record in scholarship. lhe Gunter girls" are winners. May their tribe increase.

Cuts show a birdseye view of the Fair Grounds while the Fair is going on and Lincoln Beachy flying is his Cur tiss aeroplane over Niagara Falls. There is an appreciation of North Carolina that carries a point in every paragraph, a fact in every sentence, clothed in a style as attractive as the story it have immediate tens, anu an in one small page. The marvelous progress of the State is told in a comparative table of crop figures for 1905 and 1910, and a similar alinement of statistics of the manufacturing industries. In addition there are comparative values of farm land and buildings, implements and machinery, labor and fertilizers. In a brief review of the work of the State Fair the booklet calls attention to the fact that it is chartered without capital stock, its real property being held in trust to secure a bonded debt, any profits made going into a surplus which is spent in improve ments and increasing premiums. The construction of the reinforced concrete agricultural building at a cost of $7,000, the new build ing for women and other better ments last year are touched upon, as well as the modern poultry building to be ready for the com ing Fair. Figures show 83 solid carloads of exhibits last year against 42in 1909; 3,501 separate entries against 1,201, and $8,191,- 45 net premiums paid against $6, 598.97. As evidence that the Fair is recognized as one of the greatest gathering points for pure-bred stock in the South, mention is made that the Per cheron Society of America is this year offering its special prizes at the Raleigh Fair, which is one of only four Southern Fairs to be so honored. It is stated that by resolution of the Executive Com mittee all questionable shows and doubtful games have been for bidden the grounds. On the amusement side there is borne the news that the Fair has contracted with the Glenn H. Curtiss Co. for aeroplane flights each day of the Fair on a guarantee-to-fly basis, the aviator to be Lincoln Beachey or Hugh Robinson. Beachey is the bird man who flew under the bridge at Niagara, while Robinson did likewise at Cairo. 111., under a railroad bridge over the Ohio. These two were the only flyers to finish in the cross-country race from New York to Philadelphia, and both were stars at the Chicago Aviation Meet, where Beachey made a new record for altitude 11,578 feet Another attraction mentioned is California Frank's Wild West show with its fifteen carloads and 200 people. Then there is The Great Calvert, star high wire specialist Special mention is made of the miraculous painting, "In the Shadow of the Cross," to be ex hibited for the first time in the South. It has figured at the Ancient Acts of Congress. Statesville Landmark, Sept. 12th. Mr. W. M. Weddington has shown the Concord Tribune a copy of the Congressional Record giving the acts of the Fifteenth Congress, in 1818. James Monroe was President, Daniel D. Tomp kins Vice-President and Henry Clay Speaker of the House. One of the acts that was passed by this Congress is as follows: Chapter 45. An act to regulate the pay of the army when em ployed on fatigue duty: Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa tives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That, whenever it shall be found expedient to employ the army at work on fortifications, in surveys. in cutting roads, and other con stant labor, of not less than ten days, the noncommissioned of ficers, musicians and privates, so employed, shall be allowed fifteen cents, and an extra gill of whiskey or spirits, each, per day, while so employed. (Approved, March 2, 1819.) Among the post roads ordered established was one "from States ville, by Campbell's Grove, to Morganton. Where was Campbell's Grove? Morganton Y. W. C. A. The Morganton Y. M. C. A., which was organized the first of August, has now rented the hall over the post office and the work of equipping the same is now in progress. With .just a mere handfull to begin with the mem bership has now reached forty six and we hope to get it up to 75 before long, and there are still a large number of young men about town that we want to get within our ranks. We extend herewith a cordial welcome to all the young men of this town to get in line and join us in this great work, which we are certain will prove beneficial and not wanting for good results. We hope before long to have the hall furnished in such a way that we can invite the public up to see for themselves the efforts being put forth to make the association at tractive for young men. To do this requires a little ready money for the equipping of the hall, which will consist of a spacious reading-room, a well equipped gymnasium, shower baths, and dressing room, and we therefore through this column extend an ernest appeal to the good people of Morganton to help us in this our work, and we do so unhesi tatingly, believing that you fully realize the need of this kind of an organization and that it is a great benefit to the town that a like institution is established, and a little financial help would be greatly appreciated just at this time. Also, if anyone has any furniture of any kind that they are not using themselves and which you think we could use, we would appreciate it very much if you would kindly report same to the committee on ways and means. Mail will reach them care of the Y. M. C. A. or same communications can be addressed to the president, F. T. Clarke. Your kind and careful considera tion to the above will be greatly appreciated.
