Do .vou want to forget self and take part in a big histosy making movement? > Attend the North Carolina Good Road* Convention at Wrightsville Beach, June 21-23. Home reaaona why you should attend this convention are: Because you will be able to in crease your environment by tak ing part in a movement which is now state-wide and nation wide. Because you should help create sentiment for the best possible ex penditure of the money you are each year putting on the public! roads in the way of^ taxes, auto mobile license fees, bond issues, etc. Because you are personally in terested in the proper Maintenance of every mile of public road in North Carolina. Why!* If you own an automobile, you tnay go over anv one mile of road in the State at most any time and if it is not in good condition, that mile may cost you $100 or more for re pairs. Kven if you do not own a machine and are a city dweller, the condition of the country road* af fect your business very vitally if you are a n^rchant, a doctor, a rural preacher, or whatever may be your calling or profession or trade. If a farmer, the condition of the /-pads is still more a vital problem with you. determining your time and cost of haulage. Because the Federal Govern ment is now taking an active in terest in Road Construction and Maintenance and we all want North Carolina to get the greatest possible benefit from this coopera tion right from the beginning. Let's not lose a dollar from 'ack <>f cooperation or dilatoriness on our part We want to get together and talk it over! Because we want system of roads in North Carolina. We want our roads to begin somewhere and end somewnere so thai if you start from Wilmington or Newberii or Goldsboro or Fayetteville or any other town in the State and want to go to Asbeville or any other town, you do so With a maximum of comfort and pleasure and a min imum of expense. Because you constitute a unit in this com mo n wealth and no great movement can go forward with the greatest momentum unless all tlie units >cet together and work in harmony. Because the people of Wilming ton and New Hanover County are spending a great deal of .ime, en ergy. money, and thought to give you the best and moat profitable time of you life.

ISOBK SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THAT EARLY GROWTH CORN Hold the Moisture ia the Ground by Constant Shallow Cul tivation?Recent Rains not Detrimental. Corn which was plant* d'early has probably come up to a inland, but has Krown very slowly on ac count of the drought. This could hardly be a disadvantage, because corn seems to do well if it does not grow too fast when young and if there is enough plant food and moisture ir. the soil when the is ear' forming. It is now the time when this moisture should be kept in the soil for future use. Constant shal low cultivation will keep it there, and the young weeds and grass be ginning to grow will also be kill ed by the operation. Corn Club boys should remember esi?cially about the value of mulcb. This constant shallow cultivation will provide the mulch that holds the moisture in the earth. Some corn has been planted after clover. This seed bed should be thoroughly prepared with the b ar row and plow, and then the corn thick enough to prevent the nec essity of replanting. It should then be worked rapidly and thin ned out to a proper stand later on. The side application to the corn should beapplied when the growth is from 10 to 24 inches high. If nitrate of soda is used, the appli cation should be made when from 2 to 3 feet high. A good side ap plication this year is equal parts cottonseed meal and acid phos phate mixed together and applied at the rate of from 200 to 400 pounds per sere. This mixture should not be applied late in the season if the plants are to have advantage of the plants are to have advantage of the food it contains. It also should not be applied too near the corn roots. The middle of the row, when ihe cm is ulant ed in 4-foot rows, is a good place for it, and it should certainly not go nearer than 12 inches to the base of the stalk.
