Not Much Change in Stand !>(? of Contestants. The )>?st week has been a very busy one in The Timkh office. The Piano ''"' test is farming to a white heat and the Contest Manager has been kept busy counting votes as they-come in from all sections. Each contestant has ''fen hustling- and their efforts are up fine. The ladies have been trying very hard to beat each other in winning the most of the extra offers, as these extra votes with the regular number due .on the rePeru are likely to puff the one with the 'argest report ahead ot light up with the leaders. The bonus offer of 10,000 votes for every report of $10.00 closes this week and it is up to the contestants to get as many extra votes as they can. The more reports of $10.00 you make, the more extra votes you receive. Some young lady may be quite a little behind but can easily get up with the leaders by just winning these extra yotea.

While out hunting on Monday afternoon James Massenburg, 15 years old and the youngest son of the late B. B. Massenburg, had the misfortune of getting his right arm so badly shot that it had to be amputated just beiow the shoulder. It seems that he and two other little bovs, William Allen and Fuller Cook^ were on a boat about four miles up the river and upon seeing a squirrel James reached for his gun which was laying across the boat and upon pul ing it to him it went off the load taking effect in the muscles of his right arm above the elbow. He was taken to Mr. E. E. Marshall's only a short distance from there, and the information sent to town- Upon learning the trouble Drs. Yarborough and Newell and .Messrs- Si P RrwMJo an/I B. B. Massenburg left immediately upon automobile to render assistance. James was bro >ght home after having ; received relief and that evening his j arm was amputated. At present he is ! resting well. To Manufacture Cigars. The many friends of Mr. J. Fuller Malone in Louisburg will learn with much pleasure that he has become interested in the manufacture of cigars in New Orleans. Under the reorganization plan of the American Tobacco Company he, in company with Messrs. J. B. Cobb, of New York, formerly Vice-President of the American Tobacco Company, and H. W. Cobb, formerly Vice-President of the American Cigar Company, succeeded in purchasing the Hernahiem Company, Limited, of New Orleans, a subsidiary company of the former corporation and one of its moat important cigar manufacturing plants. Mr. Malone informs us that they begin the operations of this company at once and that he will have charge of the I manufacturing and leaf departments. He will. leave here the first of next week for New Orleans, where he will prepare for a trip to Cuba in the interest of his company. Mr. Malone is a young man of exceptional ability, and has had many years' experience in the manufacture of cigars. He is worthy the success so earnestly wished for him by his many friends here. ? ' ?

At this p] rate a ten acre field would grow 150 tons of organic matter which, when incorporated with the soil, would add. in ,r an available form, 1230 pounds of ni- e( trogen; 450 po'inds of phosphate, and h )90 pounds of potash. All of this plant w food came out Jof the soil ' of the tenacre field to be sure but, though it was in p the soil, it wax no: in un available con- sj ditiou for the succeeding crop until it was taken up, digested, and built into p the tissues of the green corn plant, ^ from which it will be readily liberated by decay after being plowed clown. The amount of nitro^an thus render-1 ^ sd available on the ten acre field is | * equaj to that supplied by 160 tons of | fresh horse manure, or 30 tons of an 3-2-2 fertilizer. The phosphate sup-jw plied by this amount of green manure | w is equal to that found in 2 1 2 tons of j ?' in 8-2-2 fertilizer or in 2S0 tons of fresh horse manure. The potash ren- tc iered available is equal to that supplied by 25 tons of an 8-2-2 fertilizer of 135 tons of fresh horse manure. At 50c a ton it will cost ?S0 to haul: m ind spread lBu tons of manure. The i seed corn should not cost over $2.00 and with the right kind of implements, the jor seeding should be but a small expense. The discing and plowing necessary to n* ncorporate the green corn with the c* soil properly, incidentalh- prepares {Tie **< land lor tne succeeding crop so that the labor expense is but a small item. But what about old dry corn stalks? Shall they be burned? A 30 bushel erop of corn will leave on the average \J about one ton of stalks, fodder and |}( Bhueks on the land. This ion of this C( drr stuff contains 20 8 pounds of nitro- w gen; 5.8 pounds of phosphate; and 28 c, pounds ot potash ell of which will be ia given up to succeeding crops just as tr soon as this material can rot in the Si ground. Whv not use these old stalks t! as a source of organic matter for soil w improvement? It would seem that the a best thing possible to do with the corn p crop is to husk it in the field, leaving both husks and fodder on the stalks, p then cut the stalks to pieces with a h good sharp stalk cutter and plow fhem cj under to decay. The method of hand- a, ling them is far superior to any other ja 1 know as they make a poor quality of Jv' forage and a right good quality of j, humus. I) In the above we have emphasized the n, plant food elements contained in the m vegetable matter, but the most impor- J n ant functions of humus is that of lib-1 c, rating otherwise inert plant foods in i w ihe soil itself, opening up its texture bi ind allowing the rain waters to go g| lown deep into the subsoil where thev in ire stored and held for the crops, in bands that were plowed deep and filled c( with organic matter did not suffer jz from drought during the past season. ? a( r.
