?Only one marriage license was
issued by Rigister of Deeds Gilliam
during the past week. In deference
to the wishes of the prospective
bridegroom, we are" not publishing
the item this week. No reason, If

the request.
?"Yo-Yo," the new game that
made iU appearance but a fdw
weeks ago, appears to have reached

Really the trick Is attended with
some degree of skill.

?Some of the Red Cross workers
have had some amusing experiences.
A lady was asked to pay a $1.00 and
"JolnV Her excuse was that she
couldn't attend and, therefore,
would not Join. A young man de
clined to "subscribe" for the reason
that he had already subscribed but
that "It hadn't come." These are
but two examples of the peculiar
notions people have about the Red
Cross.
?An audit of the office of the
Clerk of the Superior Court, Mr.

last week. The auditor was very
complimentary at the co-operation

the audit will show a balance of

the office, the source of which was
not found. Hie result of the audit
Is gratifying to Mr. Murray's friends
and it goes without saying, that the
Clerk Is pleased.

ing colder all day.

?"Ladles' night" last Friday
night at the meeting of the Klwanls
Club was a splendid success. A yery
enjoyable program under the direc
tion of Mr. M. E. Yount was given.
The leading features of the evening
were addresses by Hon. Dennis O.
Brummltt of Raleigh and Dr. W.
O. Mitscherling, of Burlington.
After so "perfect a day," as It
were, some sixty of the guests were
taken sick during the night. The
cause is attributed to ptomaine poi
soning. 8ome were quite sick for a
few hours, but happily all recovered
nicely. None regrets the unpleasant
incident more keenly than the
ladies In charge of the supper prep
arations.
?Passing In front of a grocery
store Tue^ay morning we were
struck wiC the large variety of
fresh regltables on display. It was
a spring like morning and they did
not look so very much out of season.
Here are some of them: snap beans,
tomatoes, cucumbers, squash,
onions, cabbage, turnips, sweet and
Irish potatoes, celery, green peppers,
spinach, and tumlp salad. We also
noted the following fruits: Honey
dew melons, apples, grapes, oranges,
lemons, bananas, grape fruit and
cranberries. That's almost the en
i tire list, and here it is past the mid
dle of November with a little frost
and lee and plenty due at this time
i of the year. With such an array
; the vegetarian can lodge no reason
able complaint. -

i pushing up the yield of corn from
> is bushels an acre ta (0 bushels an
i acre through the use of limestone
i and legumes on a field of bottom
? land In six years is the enviable
l record of J. B. Eeberd of Alexander
1 county.
i Result of Tests With Corn
The field meeting* held on the
farm of Cha*. Jeffrie* and A. J.
Jeffries on November 12th were a
success despite the rainy weather.
Thlry-one farmers were present to
aee the different plat* harvested
and weighed. On the farflf of Cha*.
Jeffries we had a variety test of
eight varieties of corn and a fer
tilizer test of three different kinds
of top dresser. The variety test
yielded as follows:
bu. pr. acre
Biggs 2 ear 48A
Cockes Prolific 41.1
Southern Beauty 48.2
Yellow (local) 42.4
Jarvls Golden 1- 45.5
Mosbys Prolific 43.1
Lathams (local) 48.6
Lathams (Latham) 46.2
Average for test ? 45.4
Highest yield, Biggs 2 ear 48.5
Lowest yield, Cockes Prolific 41.1
The difference in the highest and
lowest yielding varieties was 7.4 bu.
The above test was all planted on
the same type of soil and received
the same fertilization and cultiva
tion. This proves that It pays to
plant a good variety, one that is
suited to your climate and soli con
ditions.
The following results were obtain
ed In the fertilizer test:
bu. pr. acre
Plats No. 1 and 5 no top dress
er averaged - 42.1
Plat No. 2 topdressed with a
mixture of Potash and Ni
trate Soda : 46.9
Plat No. 3 top dressed with
Cal-Nltro 46.9
Plat No. 4 top dressed with
Arcadian Nitrate 4S.0
On the fertilizer plats the com
was planted on the same date and
fertilized at planting time with a
12-3-3 fertilizer, and ail cultivated
at planting time with a 12-3-3 fer
tilizer, and all cultivated the same
and all plats were of the same va
riety. Does It pay to top dress? The
difference Is 6 bushelds of com per
acre.
On the farm of A. J. Jeffries we
harvested two plats of com. One
planted after a lespedeza sod and
the other planted where no lespe
deza had been grown. The results
were as follows:
bu. pr. acre
Com after lespedeza 43.4
Com, no lespedeza 25.3
Difference In yield 13.1
Will the increased yield of 13
bushels of com per acre justify you
In seeding lespedeza at a cost of $4
per "acre?
All persons attending these field
meetings were served with barbecue
plus the fixings, through the courte
sy of the N. V. Potash Syndicate
and the Synthetic Nitrogen Prod
uct* Co. E. C. Blair, extension ag
ronomist. O. M. Oarren, cereal ag
ronomlst, 8. K. Jackson, of the N.
V. Potash Syndicate, and C. HlU
man Moody, of the Syndicate Nitro
gen Products Co., all of Raleigh,
were present and assisted In har
vesting and weighing of the corn
on different plats. A good meeting
en a rainy day.

no compromise ? 1
with goodness!...
the Camel blend is
a real smoke!
Camels are made for the knowing
ones who seek the pleasures of a
good smoke, and these smokers
may be assured that the true Camel
quality will always be maintained ?
Camels were originated and made to promote .the pleasure of
smoking. The most perfect blend that the greatest experts know
how to make is the secret of this really wonderful cigarette! The
most modern and skilful processes are employed in bringing this
great cigarette to perfection! The pick of all Domestic tobaccos for
satisfying taste, the rarest Turkish for added fragrance! Camels
are vastly preferred by knowing smokers because they appreciate
the soothing goodness of choice tobaccos perfectly blended.
