Now that the Stock Law is an as ?ured fact we must begin to make preparations to care of our stock by other methods than we have been in the habit ofdoing. A few acres sod ded down to a good grass and clover mixture will be found to among the most profitable acres on the farm. The secret of success with permant pastures in Hertford County is hav ing your soil well drained, well limed and in good productive state of culti vation. Clover and grass like any other of the cultivated crops do best on the richest and best drained lands but they can be grown successfully on land not suited to intensive cultiva tion. Don't fail to be ready to do your part for the stock law when it comes but begin now and get in two or more acres, depending on the amount of stock you have, of good pasture this fall. Pasture mixtures found most suc cessful in this section: No. 10 Alsike Clover No. 4 Bur clover No. 4 Bed closer No. 8 Italian rye grass No. 8 Bed top grain No. 8 Orchard grass The clover seed should be inoccul a ted with a bacterial cultur for beat results or soil obtained from fields where the clover has been grown and disributed over the field desired to grow it.

A real three ringed circus is com ing to town, with wiae Ijona and tigers two herds of elephants. tinun and shi nmj Bamfttg hor^TforSfngled witT human stars and witfr troops of cla mor let loose between thrills. The Sparks Circus which is coming to Ahoalde, on Wednesday, SepUm-j ber 16 is huge and grand and new en ough to warrent the very highest sf praise. Everyone will laugh at the capering clowns, gasp at the fetti-v acts and shudder at the sensations crowded together in two hoon and a half. The biggest and moat daring of the animal acts are the two elephants her ds, one of which includes earth's mightiest monster, Big Zulu "the sky scraper elephant". Less spectacular, maybe, but almost as sensational, are the Harrison bears who are not only natural born comedians, but have been taught such difficult feats as roller skating, riding bicycles, boxing and wrestling, walking the tight rope and even the playing of musical instru ments has been mastered by theae four feeted actors. Just to add good measure to the performance it is in terspersed with a score or more of high class stars or the aerial world. Of course there are clowns and forty of them will surely make you laugh, if you have one stored away in you. Altogether the wonderful pro gram presented under the "big top" of the Sparks Circus will give bound less pleasure to big s.'.Irsmall. * o Ahoalde Defeat** Tunis The Ahoskle team easily defeat;, the Tunis team Thursday afternoon on the Tunis grounds, by a 10 to 6 score. Features of the game were the home run of Dixon for Tunis and the pitching of Bozeman for Ahoskie. ? "Rats Pasa Up All Other Food For On. Meal of RAT-SNAF."

Practically all these signers havecome from only four counties, and they represent more than 40 per cent of the necessary number, of. signers to in sure the perfection of the growers' organisation. On account of the early opening of the tobacco warehouses in Hert ford and Bertie, the completion of the campaign in these twp counties will ba postponed till a later date. However, enough signers have already been sec ured to give the necessary 50 per cent of signers m the territory that has been canvassed. This week the campaign will opea in Surry Sussex counties with a series of meetings Saturday afternoon. The following week the campaign will opaa in Isle of Wight and Nansemond Co- >' unties. After these four counties an canvassed, the campaign will then be resumed in North Carolina. It is confiently expected that en ough signers will be secured in Surry and Sussex counties to bring the total number of signers well above'the half way mark and to begin the home stra tch. It is also expected that signers will be secured much more rapidly after the half way mark is passed. This campaign for signers to 1 the contract is under the direction of the Board of Di^etorf of the present Ex change. These nine Directors were elected by the members of the Ki change in their respective counties and <o are the representatives of the gro wers themselves. As has been prev iously stated, the representatives of the Exchange are employed by this Board of Directors, who are the real promoters of the now Exchange.
