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
property occupied by the hotel
was on a one-acre lot, the south
west corner of the block adjoining
the court house square on the
northwest. Mr. Harden's pur
chase does not jnc|uc)e the entire
lot? several business lots. have
been sold o ft on the east side
fronting on Elm street. Mr. Har
den's purchase is on Maple Btreet,
between it and the town office and
fire house, and extends up North
Maple street to the rear of his
home place lot.
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. This is being remodeled
into a sightly and eonvenieut cot
tage with modern conveniences.
The corner lot, a very desirable
property, will not, for the present,
be improved.

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.

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.
