Want Board to Help Build,

before the county board of education

Broke His Hip,
Dr. Clyde Eubanks, one of the best
known citizens of Chapel Hill, bad a
fall last Thurday night which resulted
in the breaking of his hip. He wss sit
ting at his desk and had a drawer pull
ed out. Some one called his attention
to the aurora borealis and in getting up
from bis chair, stumbled against this
open drawer, and f alling to the floor
caused the accident. The doctor was
taken to the Watte hospital at Durham
for treatment. Dr. Eubanks is a brothr
er of our townsman, Mr. Wm, M, Eu
banks. The Northern Lights.
Did you see the aurora borealis, or
Northern lights, last Thursday night?
If you did not, you missed seeing some
thing worth while. It was shortly af
ter 8 o'clock that a distinct glow began
to light up the northern sky, getting
brighter toward 9 o'cteek, It was air
most midnight before the last tinge of
light died away. The glow in the north,
era sky is accredited to the aurora bo
realis and though it only faint dis
play compared with the. illijrnipation f ars
ther north, it was perhaps the most
brilliant display that has ever been seen
here.
County Woman Demonstrator,
Mrs. E. M. Davis, of the demonstra
tion division of the department of agri
culture, with several local ladies, went
before the county commissioners last
week to urge the employment of a coun
ty woman demonstrator. The state and
federal governments appropriate an
amount equal to the county appropria
tion. It was pointed out that p suu
should be given to this work, a compe
tent woman for six months could be se
cured who would instruct the women in
the county in canning and otner usetui
work of such vital importance at this
time. The commissioners have taken
the matter under consideration.

THE FARMERS OPPORTUNITY.
Nation and Humanity Are Calling Upon
- ' T Him For Service. .
' Raleighl North; , Carolina farmer
face the. greatest opportunity for serv
ice and profit that the farmers of
any country have ever had. With the
fate of the war in Europe largely de
pendent, upon food .supplies and with
half , the ' world starring the opportu
nity for service to country and hu
manity Is unprecedented. With a
world shortage of food and feedstuffs
of all kinds prices , will continue to
remain" at th(elr present high levels
not only until the end of the war but
for one to three years after the war.
, In the face of a shortage of labor J
iNorcn uarpiina' rarmers must produce
a larger total of cornV wheat, cotton,
soy beans, peas, potatoes, sorghum for
syrup, hay crops and livestock. A
larger acreage in these crops cannot
be worked than was Worked last year
but the same acreage . can be made to
f rcduce . larger ' yle'4v Better soil
preparation and . better crop cultiva
tion will Increase yields; ' and profits
to a large extent but increased fertil
isation must be depended- upon for
the greatest part-of the Increase that
Is so. urgently desirable.
;t FertUJzerVBllJ $35,OKMOQ.
There are 385.O00 head of work stoclr
upon the farms of North Carolina.
There was used-upon the land culti
vated by these ammkls:iast year more
than 850,000 ton: of cdmmercial fer
tilizers and more. than .68,000; tons of
cottonseed meal, it Jig extremely
doubtful If a larger supply of commer
cial fertilizers will be javailable this
year. If the same quantity Is used
this will represent a. commercial
fertilizer bill of approximately S35.000,
000.1 The stable manure from 385,000
head of work stock and. approximately
700,000 head of cattle, if properly sav
ed ; and utilized, would be worth at
least $50,000,000. Here Is an oppor
tunity for increased fertilization be
cause many of our farmers have paid
little attention heretofore te the mak
ng, saving and utilization of stable
manure.
The Greatest Opportunity.
The greatest opportunity, iowever,
lies in the utilization of forest leaves
and wood mold. The past winter has
been (deal for the purpose of rotifng
leaves and there are very few farm
ers in the State who hate nqt an op
portunity to largely increase their
productipn this year through the use
Of this form of fertiliser. Agricul
tural experts aye agreed that a ton of
dry f prest leaves and wood mold con
tains at present fertilizer values, $8
worth of fertilizer ingredients. This
means that if five tons of leaves and
wood mold are used on every equiva
lent one-horse farm In North Caro
lina the aggregate value of such fer
tilization would be more than $15,000,
000, or very nearly half the value of
the State's commercial fertilizer bill of
the year.,.
The Children Can Help,

effective the fertilizers used. Haullnar
of leaves and Food mold should be
continued during spare time even aft
er the planting' season of cotton and
corn, being worked into- the ground
during the cultivation - of - the crop.
On wheat and other grain the results
will not only be seen In; the Increased
production of grain, but in the Increas
ed production of hay or other crop
which follows. ' :' '
A $25,000,000 f rie.rea.fi.?,

that -the: production- of food and feed
crops m Nortn Carolina could he in
creased $25,000,000 : thUi year by the
Utilization -by; farmer-; pf this oppor
tunity ror increasing the fertility of
their soil. It has, been repeatedly
demlnstrated that the application of
manure and . other vegetable matter Is
noticed in the land for several years
after the application so that the ap
plication of leaves and wood mold this
year will result in not only increasing
the yields during the-cpming seasoi
but during the years ta eome.

of Thedford's Black-Draught; In fact,
It was one of our family medicines.
Also in xny mother's home, when I
was a child. When any of us child
ren complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
a dose of Black-Draughtr-which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or trouble3 of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without it,
for it certainly has saved us lots of
doctor bills. Just a dose cf Black
Draught when not so well saves a
lot of days in bed."
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years In the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys Is proof of its merit-:
; lf your liver 13 not doing its duty;
