An Old Corner Bought and Be ing Improved B y Walter Harden. The northeast corner at the in tersection of W. Elm and Maple streets, recently purchased by Walter R. Harden, is being im proved. This is the site one time occupied by the Clapp Hotel in the young days of the town.

The cottage which stood at the corner and fronted on Elm street, has been moved up to the north end of the lot and fronts on Maple street.

Onslow county farmers report more hay than ever before, due to soil conservation program. County Agricultural Building Work Commenced. A building for bousing Ala mance County'* agricultural de partment and other interests not strictly connected with the county government official family lias been commenced, tbe building to be of brick construction. Exca vation for the foundation is under way and material to be used is being placed on tbe ground.' Tbe site of this new building is on N. Elm street, across tbe street immediately north of the county jail. It is the corner lot, which the older people will remember as the site of the blacksmith shop of Martin Van Bnren (Faucette), colored, and his home. The building will be one-story, 70 x 80 feet, and will contain offi ces for the County Farm Agent, white and colored, Home Demon stration Agent, County Weltare offices, and auditorium of 200 seating capacity. A heating plant and storage room for fuel will be in a basement for the purpose. This, no doubt, will become the meeiiug place for various county grcups ? a sort of community center. The location is only one block west of the Court House square, ""1 convenient enough to the ? mi ii'-nse for quick contact, ? ii'Onssary to transact any busiueeo ?uli the couuty. It should prove a very valuable adjunct in relieving the court house of the various interests which now have quarters there, and which now occupy rooms tuat are now and will be needed for records whioh properly belong lu the court house for easy access. The new building is estimated to cost around <13,000, and will be rushed to completion as rapid ly as weather conditions will per- 1 mlt. The Orphanage at Elon College In this issue, on page 8 (back page), appear the pictures of the three main buildings of the Chris tian Orphanage at Elon College. This is a church institution ? de nominational, but not exclusive. Up to its ability to care for or phan children, it is the policy of the institution to receive, care for and train worthy applicants. The buildings pictured were not all built and equipped at the be ginning, as you will see from the legend beneath each picture. The institution had a small be ginning, and the facilities have been increased as rapidly as funds I could be provided and would have been increased faster, if funds had been available. At all times the orphanage has had more ap plications than it could accommo date and care for. The supreme purpose of the In stitution is to take children and train them in Christian living and citizenship? make of them useful, industrious and houoiable men and women; as near as possible to give them an equal chance in the race of life with the more fortunate ones. It's a great re sponsibility that the institution assumes when it admits a child into its family. The responsibili ty is both moral and tinancial. Limited means is the greatest handicap to its usefulness. Dona tions are always in order and gratefully appreciated. In behalf of this worthy institution, each one who may read this is asked to be a helper of it in a substantial way. Mrs, Patterson Stricken in Reg ister of Deed's Office? Con dition Serious. Mre. L.

Terraces recently constructed in Randolph County have with stood the heavy rains in recent weeks and have won favor with farmers. A difference of 2.4 tons of cured hay an acre was secured by S. J. Kinsland of Macon county from Korean leepedeza following wheat where triple superphosphate bad been applied. Good Fanning Program Saves Soil, Moisture | Soil conservation and water con 1 nervation go hand i n hand, says E. C.Jeralgan, project manage^ of the Soil Conservation Service in Davidson county. Both depend up on a well-planned farm program In which ?oil-building practices play the most important part. Five simple and inexpensive farm practices are suggested by the Soil Conservation Service and State Col lege Extension Service as contribu tory to soil and water conservation. They are as follows : First? Subsoiling. Break the land well and subsoil to a depth of 18 to 20 inches. This will increase the water-holding capacity of |t h e soil. Second? Terracing and strip crop ping. Freak down the slope with a system of terracing and strip cropping that will slow down the water and reduce erosion. The strips of close-growing crops will add enriching vegetable matter ito the soil and make it capable of holding more water. Third? Liming. To improve the physical condition by neutralizing the adds and increasing the legume crop yields. Fourth? Rotations. Plan a rota tion that will include as much close-growing vegetation aa possi ble. Fifth? Retirement of lands. Take out of cultivation and put to pastures or trees all lands that cannot produce crops at a pr6flt. Prepare Now For Pig Litters Next Spring The successful swine producer, like all other good farmers, looks ahead. He pwpares now for things h e plans to do this winter and next spring, said H. W.Taylor', exten - sion swine specialist ' at N. C, State College. Now Is the time to plan for spring litter of pigs, he added. "If you have not already done so, plant some clover, rye, wheat , oats, or barley on a field where hogs have not ranged since it was last cultivated. "Keep all hogs off the field un til the sows are ready to farrow next spring. This will provide a clean range for the pigs to run 1 n until they are four months old, or until they attain a weight of about 100 pounds. "Sows for spring farrowing should be bred by the early part of November, at the latest. October 15 to November 1 is the best period. "If you Ido not have a portable farrowing house, see your county agent or write the agricultural edi tor at State College for a copy of blue print No. 160, which gives full Instructions for building such a house for one sow and a Utter Of plg?w" Taylor also suggested that In November some crop should be planted to furnish winter grazing for the swine herd. Castrate pigs when they are four to five weeks old. Build a self-feeder; ooe will save the labor of mixing and feeding slop and also keep before the hogs at all times the feeds ithey should have. Feeders built by plan No. 21T will accommodate one to seven hogs, sad one by plan No. 61 will accommodate up to 25 hogs. Plana may be secured free from the agricultural editor at State College. Feed Calve* Well To Make Good Milk Cows. Dont neglect dairy calve* and heifer*. Feed them well, give them proper care, and keep them growing. No farmer can hope to raise good producing, profitable cowa.no matter how well bred they are, 1 f he is careless in feeding and man aging them, aaid John Arfy. ex tension dairy specialist at State College. When calve* are stunted by ? posure, lack of feed or Improper feeding, scours or other disorders, they cennot grow into [large cow* and heavy milkers. When pasturage begins to run low, heifers should receive sup plemental feeds, Arey pointed out. Oive them hay, good quality hay if possible. But even inferior hay is better than none at all If silage is available, It can be fed aloog with the hay. In many Instance* grain i? necessary. Two or three pounds' a dsy of a good ; fitting ration should be salisfac v tory. ?? It has been said that by in creasing the weight of a dairy heifer 100 pounds, and thereby In-' creasing her feed utilizing capa city, she will produce 1,000 pounds of milk more per year when full grown. Both old an3 young snimsls should be provided with comforta ble quarters in winter, Arey pointed out, since discomfort re sulting from filthy stalls or un due exposure reduces the milk flow of the oldeif animals snd stunts the growth of the calves and heifers. Feed buckets used for calves should be cleaned each day, as dirty buck6ts are a source of scours. Provide an sbundant supply of water at a medium temperature. Cows will not drink all the water they ocght to have if fit is too cold. Nearly 48 Millions Loaned in North Carolina In A lima nee, Loans Mounting To $188,780, Were Made Durham, N. C?
