Nearly every man presentgave in his name to become a member of the organization, and after some discus sion . it was unanimously . adopted that the Chairman appoint a commits tee of five to formulate by laws sug gest a name for the" organization an-J recommend officers ; to a meeting' to be held on Friday bight June 18th. The committee named are W. H. Ruffin, VVm. Bailey, L. P. Hicks, P. A. Reavi8, R. Z. EgertonT A majority bt those present ex pressed themselves as heartily in tavor of the movement. There is no reason why every citizen , of Louisburg should not become an en thusiastic member of the organiza tion, as it may mean much for Louis burg. As to Tax Listing. past years there have been people who would not list taxes before the aDDomted In some their township list takers, but would wait later to. list before the county com missioners. This course may have l)een prompted by ulterior motives, but we will not argue that point. We will say, however, that those who have practiced ths.t way of list ing in the past had better not do so again unless they prefer to pay dou ble tax. The last legislature passed a very stringent law on this point and leaves the county ' commissioners no discretion in the matter except to follow the lawThe entire month of June is set apart for listing and that is time enough, and every per son subject o tax had just as well Try rFrr .

June is the beat time to sow pets for hay. They will make more vine growth than sown later. Then do not expect to eat your cake md keep it, too. That ia, do not expect that sowing peas on poor land and taking the crop off and returning noM manure to the land is going to im prove it, because it will on the oth er hand, run it down. Peas, while they gel nitrogen from the air, are greedy consumers of the phosphorio acid and potash in the soil, and you cannot get these from the air. The value ot the pea crop consists in its ability to save you the purchase of nitrogen, and to giv you valuable feed to return to the soil and in crease the humus contents There fore, if the improvement of the soil is the main object, as it should be, you should feedithe crop with acid phosphate and potash and thus en able it to do more nitrogen fixiug for you. It is a good plan to mix cowpeaa and soy beans half and half. The more erect character of the beans will help to bold up the peas and the crop will be more easily har vested. Try sowing a bush variety of peas among the corn, and when the leaves begin to fall sow crimson clover among them, and you will have a fine crop to turn under for cotton the next seaon. Also sow crimson clover among the cotton and have the corn to turn for corn. But where peat are sown along among corn the best lan is to cut the corn off and shock H and then disk th peas down and sow oats in Septem ber to be fallowed by peas, for hay and crimson dover for cottoo, and then crimson clover among cotton for corn.
