PAGE VICE-DIRECTOR WAR SAVINGS COMMITTEE Will Help Complete County Organi zations Forty-Seven Counties Well Organized. REV. R. W. HARRELL PASSES. Winston-Salem. Feb. 22 That Hon. Robert N. Page of Aberdeen has con sented to become one of the vice-iirec- tors of the State War-Savings com mittee to Col. F. H. Fries, State di rector, and from now on will give his time and attention to the work of the War-Savings campaign in the State, is more assuring news that North Carolina is going to reach in 'ier al lotted time her goal of selling fifty million dollars of War-Savings stamps. Mr. Page's first work will be in the field assisting counties in getting a more thorough organization, which a number of counties thus far have not reached. He goes first to Mecklen burg county and will probably go from there to Buncombe. An efficient county organization is considered by Colonel Fries and his corps of workers as the first and most important work to get started. On the county organization depends not only the county's success but the State's success also. With such men of ability and influence engaged in the work of organizing as Mr. Page, Judge Oilnert T. btephenson, Mr. Iredell Meares and Mr Mike Traynor, every county is expected to have a complete organization and to be actively at work in the next ten days. At present, while every county in the State has some form of organiza tion, only forty-seven counties have what is considered at State headquar ters as a more or less complete or ganization. These are Perquimans. Hertford..

Former Pastor of Churches in Robe son Passes Away in Florida, WThere He Went in Search of Health. . Correspondence of The Robesonian Nocatu. Fla., Feb. 19 Since writing my last letter to The Robesonian an other sad death has occurred in De soto county which will touch deeply manv hearts in Robeson. Rev. R. VV Harrell nassed away on Wednesday last at his home in Zolfo Springs af ter an illness of only two hours. He came from North Carolina some four or five years ago to Florida hoping that his health would be recovered bv the chancre. Asthma was the trou ble, as he thought, but disease 01 tne heai't was the direct cause 01 nis death. He was -pastor of two churches, one at Zolfo Springs, 24 miles up the railroad from here, and the other m Nocatu, the town irom which I am now writing. He was here on Sunday, the 10th, to fill his regular appointment, cy request One of the biggest lessons this cour. try has learned through its prepara tion for war, is that we did not ap preciate the importance of our rail rnnds. War has demonstrated that rot on Lur peon rovtation systems and these wtto oper ate them. We have suddenly" become very much interested in the welfare of rail road men. 9c know now that this work is hard, that it is wearing on men and that a "ailroad worker needs hi? maximum strength. Graham H. Waddell, a railroad worker living at 27 S. Swain St., Raleigh, knows what this means ?.s he suffered a break down in his health, of which he speaks as follows: "I have been under the weather with Honor i ndigestion for some time. My appe tite was not what it should have been and a good night's rest was out of the Question. 1 was all run down and could feel my self slipping fast. I read the favorable endorsements 01 Peplac by people right here in Ral eigh, whose symptoms were the same as mine, and I lost no time in trying a bottle. It improved my once; gave me a hearty appetite and indigestion has left me. I feel strong er in every way and am glad to add my endorsement.

To know how much each pound of roughage in this form is costing you, you must divide the price per ton by 1500 not by 2000. rRAOC MARK W COTTONSEED V HULLS V LISTLESS cost exactly what you pay for them. Every pound is all roughage no useless lint. To really know the difference in cost between old style hulls and Buckeye Hulls you must know the cost'per pound of real roughage. Even though Buckeye Hulls do sell at a much lower price than old style hulls, you can't realize how much less they are costing you until you consider how much more real roughage a ton contains. Other Advantages Buckeye Hulls go farther. Sacked easy to handle. They allow better assimilation They mix well with other forage. of other food. Take half as much space in the No trash or dust. barn. Mr. Dan Wolf, Hammond Bids- &Mfg. Co., Hammond, La., say: "I am feeding Buckeye Hulls to milch cows and find them a satisfactory filler when mixed with cottonseed meal and other concentrates. At the present price of feed stuff, Buckeye Hulls are the cheapest roughage on the market." To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.

This time the idea spread abroad is that the American Red Cross has devised a method of extracting the dyes from the canceled stamps and using the dyes. The Post office Department reports that several bags of old stamps have accumulated through the good will of persons who have thought 'they were doing some thing to help win the war. Within the last two weeks, also, scores of letters have been received at Red Cross head quarters, from persons asking infor mation regarding the matter. The stamps are of no use to the Red Cross. John Calvin McKenzie of Hoke Passes. Hoke County Journal. Just as we closed our forms before going to press, we heard the sad news that Mr. John Calvin McKenzie, one 01 the oldest and most highly esteem ed citizens in the county, and who had lived to be 83 years of age, and was a useful and public spirited man in his long and active career, was dead. He died yesterday morning, af ter a long period of failing health. For many years he had been almost blind and was confined to his home, bathe was deeply interested in the public welfare and loved to fnnvprap with friends. u seems to be the part, of wisdom for farmers generally not to mate rially increase the crop acreage, but to increase the acre yields. Increase Yield Per Acre Acre yields can be increased by better preparation of the seed bed, by the use of good seed of varieties adapt ed to the region, by using a more lib eral application of the right kinds of fertilizers and by better, cultivation of the growing crops. While all of these factors influence acre yields, let us call particular at tention at this time to the kind and amount of fertilizer to be used. Prac tically all of the southern soils are deficient in phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash and these must be supplied In some form to get the largest yields and biggest farm profits. While the proper use ot these materials will in crease the yields per- acre and help supply the nation's needs, the wise farmer will at the same time strive to get the largest financial returns from their use. To do this, he must exercise care in buying them as well as in applying them. The farmer should understflnri that I plants use fertilizers as foods only af- iuoy nave Deen dissolved by the soli water, and that which is not sol uble is not available to the plant It is to the farmer's interest, therefore to know that the fertilizers he is buy! Ing are guaranteed to contain a stated amount of available plant food. Quick Acting Form. For the best results in the cultiya tion of general field crops, materials carrying phosphoric acid, nitrogen and ' some potash should be applied. Pot ash is more deficient in the light and sandy soils than in clay soils. Not less than 150 to 200 pounds of com plete fertilizers per acre should be used and hundreds of farmers find more than this amount to be most profitable. Fertilizers containing these necessary plant foods are generally es sential for the most profitable produc tion of all field crops. Since there is such a world-wide need for crops, and since farm products are higher now than ever before, it follows that the farmer who strives to fulfill the na tion's needs just now by the use of such plant food as is necessary, se cures at the same time the largest pos sible financial returns for himself. American-Made Potash Good As German Kind If there is any doubt in the mind of a fanner about nsing fertilizers con taining American-made potash, in the belief that it is not as good as that which was formerly obtained from Ger many, his mind can be set at rest by any chemist or agricultural authority. Any one who knows in what form the potash exists in the American-made product will declare that muriate or suflate of potash is the same to the plant whether it be obtained from American sources or Germany, and that the plant asks no questions as to where it originated, but feeds on it Just the same. w. s. s.
