The breather is wet and \pMl but yet there is work that wo can find to do, if we are in earnest about finding something to do. ^ There should j>e?very^7ew in. the year, but thatT-tha farmer could .find something to do on his farm. Now is the time to prune and spray the orchard, and we would be glad to see^very_ farmer in the . county take more interest in this work. There "is, no work on the farm that will pay the farmer a larger income for the amount of work done. We expect to have, several pruning and spraying demonstrations in several sections of the'eounty this winter and shall be glad to help the farmers, all we can with this work. We also will be glad to furnish formulas for spray mixture es to any one who may care f6r ttfem. ^ Farmers generally ararlght much upset about the fertilized situation. Prices are high and are nbtx likely to be any lower. ? At 'present prices the farmers cannot use commercial fertilizers at-^j?-proflt,~so we woujd suggest that^lhey buy ground lime-" stone or marl and spread over their lands this winter where it has Se^p -broken or spread on clover, rye, wheat or^oats. This lime will not only help the '.cover crop, "Trot will greatly in crease the cotton 5f ^corn .o?op, which in to follow the cover crop, by setting ffee, ~ot making available the inert potash of the soil. ? - ?

It is estljBMbd that the farmers of North Carolina waste every year several hundred thousand dol lars by the unintelligent use of com mercial fertilizers. We would like to see ramklln county stop this waste, by studying th? soil and knowing what It needs. We are right much encouraged ovpr the Interest the boys have taken in their club work during the past year, but we want to Bee a larger number of the boys Join the Corn Club. W? did hot have as much time to devote to this work last year as we would like to have had, but this year we hope to he able to. devote more time to the club boys. We want to see this county make as good a showing aa any county In this -work. We hope to -have the hearty co-operation of the boys as well as their parents in this work. . . We have been advised that there will be held at Ingleslde February , . 12th, and at Justice February 14th. Farmers' . Institute. We hope that every farmer that can do so will at tend these meeting. The women are also asked to be present. There is to be held at Salisbury, January 25th to 28th, a Live Stock Convention. At this convention ther? -y: will be offered for sale, horses, cattle (both dairy and beef), sheep and hogs.
