BOYS AND GIRLS - THE BEST CROP
? V- 'V '> N i
The best crop to raise is boys and girls. The acreage should be large and the cultivation exceed
ingly intensive. iTo this crop wo owe more than to all others. To properly educate and care for
the boys and girls, we should bend all our energies. Have we done our duty in the past? Have we
not given to others in some cases what justly belongs to oar own bloodP Can we not make a good
saving and an effective start by co-operating amcng ourselves in the sale of tobacco this fall? On
every load ol tobacco sold at the FARMERS UNION mfctual warehouse-Harts House-this fall we can
save money, money that heretofore has been given not to producers of wealth but to consumers of
profits that properly belong in our pockets. Would you rather sell at your OWN WAREHOUSE
and save money in charges, or would you rather sell at other houses and give unnecessary charges
to those who wish to prosper through driving a bargain with you? Answer this question this fall
and remember that the patrons of our warehouse, whether members of the Union or not; get their
share of the net profits.

* - < Cover Crop Campaign?
The fanmers' co-operative De
onstration work, conducted jointly by
the U. S. and the State departments
or Agriculture and the A. & M. Col
lege, is now starting plans for winter
cover crops in this State. Efforts put
forth in this matter the past season
resulting in the adding directly of
42,800 . acres of such crops. ^
The management will mak? a I
strenuous effort to double the average
agents are already at work pn the
matter. Every farmer, merchant,
hanker, and all who are Interested in
promoting better farming are asked
to join in the movement.
The crops advocate for this State are
Rye, for very poor soils; crimson, bur
and red clover; vetch, with a support
erop; and grasses of various mixtures.
Last year a hundred acres of grasses,
scattered well over the state, pro
duce an average of 5,600 p.unds of
cured hay per acre, at a net profit of
$31.00 per acre. This shows that we
have splendid conditions for growing
all the hay and grazing crops needed
In the State and some to sell.
The legumes mentioned are usually
more profitable than grasses because
they gather?free
gen from the air and store ft-I
soil. Farmers can get it this way
much cheaper than by purchasing It.
These .winter growing crops are
valuable.' For
forage or turning' under to increase
soil fertility, they are easily worth ten
dollars per acre and o ft?1* several
times thl# amount. Often thecrop that
follows them Is doubled In yield.
?nd leaching and add organic matter,
something that practically all soils ars
deficient In. Every acre of cultivated
land should grow at least two crops
per acre, one In the winter and one
in the summer. One may be a food
:rop or a money crop and the other i
soli Improvement crop. Lands that
bare during the winter months of
ten lose more plant food through
teaching and washing (^n Is used by
the crop that grows ^nre during the
Rummer.
It behoves every farmer to give this
matter his attention. The Important
thing to do right now Is to decide whch
crop or crops he Null grow, procure
S?od seed, and tbenibreak bis land at
once t? s depth of from eight to
twelve Inches. Profitable crops are
r*rei7 grown on shallow plowed soils.
Harrow the land the saae d?7 It la
farok?i to present loss of mdsture,
and to have it ready to plant when the
time arrives.
There Is no reason why every far
mer in the State should not plant
some clover on his farm late in Aug
gust or from then till the middle of
October. Those who are not acquain
ted with clover growing should not
plant more than an acre or two the
first season. Information concerning
the matter may be had by requesting
it of our State and National Depart
ments of Agriculture, our A. & M.
College, or Mr. C. *R. Hudson, Raleigh,
N. C., who Inaugurated and is pushing
the matter.' Where there are Demon
strations Agents, farmers enjoy ?the
advantage of ^a personal interview by
calling on them.
How I'ncle Sam Spends
Your Income Tax Dollar
The American Magazine sent Ray
Standard-Baker to Washington to
trace penny for penny exactly how
Uncle Sam spends It, The result of
his investigation appears in the Au
gust .j-gjjpiber. Under the direct
of taxation, by which we stiH
continue to raise most of our reve
nues, for people felt any ccncern as
to what the government spent, but
with a direct tax like the income tax
several hundred thousand Ameri
cans will feci thls/^ear, for the first
time, just what K means to help buy
warships and pay for unnecessary
poBtofflce. Following is part"of Mr.
Bakers report:
"The very first thing that struck
me, and struck hard was the tact
that, althought we have had no great
war In fifty years (and only a little
one sixteen years ago), over sixty
cents -of every dollar that Uncle Sam
collects from you and me (directiv
or indirectly) goes for military pur
poses,' including containing expenBeS*,
of past wars?pensions.
"I think that few people realize
what this means?in a nation which
considers itself peculiarly devoted to
peace. .
r "Sixty-three per cent to the army,
navy and pensions, and only thirty
seven per cent to pay all the other
vast and useful purposes of the gov
ernment, excluding postal service and
the preposterous sinking fund?re
quired by law, but never provided in
fact. This thirty-seven per cent is
) available for building the Panama
canal, Improving our rivers and har
bors, supporting the Indians, encour
aging agriculture, public health and
education, to say nothing of taking
care of tire entir? machinery of civil
government? congress, executive,
courts, and the diplomatic and consu
lar service. :
the expenditure of the governiaent
for all purposes (with the exceptions
above stated), reaches the vaat sum
of ?740.000.000. Of this 14??,000
000 go for war purposes and forty
five per cent of this goes for pen
sions, retirements, and interest on
war dgbts."
