Thursday, January 24, 1929. AGRICULTURAL SECTION CONDUCTED BY N. C. SHIVER, County Agent Beginning with this week’s issue, we are conducting a farm column in the county papers. We are starting this column in the hope that it will be of some help to you, and to your neighbors. Every week, a question and answer column will be edited. Any questions relative to farm prac tices, fertilizers, crops, livestock, diseases, etc., that you send in will be answered to the best of our abil ity. If we do not have this inform ation we will be in position to ob tain it. The County Agent would also like to take this opportunity to announce that he has moved his office to the office formerly occupied by V. R. Johnson, above Clyde’s Case. N. C. SHIVER, County Agent. “Some Facts For Farmers” The question has been asked by a number of farmers in this county, as •to whether or not soy beans, when cut for hay, will improve the soil. According to W. J. Morse, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States De partment of Agriculture, it is too much to expect of a rich crop like the soy bean, even if well innoculat ed, to remove a large per cent of it as hay and seed, and still improve the soil. In Chatham county, farmers have reported an increased yield in wheat or small grains, following soy beans that have been cut for hay. This increased yield however, is probably due to the fact that the roots of the soy beans opened up the sub soil, assisted in mellowing the sur face. and in general left the soil in good physical condition. Other Chatham county farmers have re ported a lessened yield in crops fol lowing soy beans cut for hay. In general, we cannot expect to in crease the fertility of our soil year after year by growing crops wdth out turning some crop residue back in the soil. * * * One farmer has inquired as to whether or not there is danger of overproduction in dairying, with so many farmers entering this field of livestock farming. According to of ficials of the Dairy Department at State College, we are not liikely to see an overproduction of dairy pro ducts in the south in our lifetime. North Carolina does not, at the pre sent time, have enough cows to sup ply dairy products to it’s own popu lation. There are large sections in the eastern part of the state where there is only one cow to every ten people. In i\idition to this, the, population is steadily increasing, in ■-MARCH I g 1 > YEAR | rtunity. It Consists of 446 1 character to suit you. The |Tj large number in good pas- « hway. f EON i:3O A. M.

Taking it all in all, North Carolina and Chatham Coun ty is an ideal area in particular for dairy farming, and many dairy experts believe that it is the future dairy center of the United States. * * * The question of the difference be tween our native Lespedeza, or Ja pan Clover, and the seed that is' imported comes up rather frequently. The difference lies in the fact that the imported seed has been culti vated and 'selected intensively to produce a much larger growth than our native Lespedeza. Farmers who have noticed the wild Japan clover, and the. imported growing side by side have observed this difference. In addition to this, several strains or varieties that make considerable more growth have been selected from the native Japan Clover. Les pedeza No. 76 is one of the most outstanding of these strains. It was developed by the Tennessee Experi ment Station, and is excellent for hay. Koreah Lespedeza and Kobe Lespedeza are two other excel lent strains that have been intro duced from the east. They are grown for hay, pasture, and soil improve ment. The writer had the pleasure of in specting several fields of Lespedeza No. 76 in Stanly county last year. This strain makes a wonderful growth for hay, and tbe farmers of Stanley “swear by it.” BONLEE-BENNETT BANK HAS GOOD YEAR , The Bonlee-Bennett bank meeting was a success here Thursday, Janu ary 17, 1929. Not that we had made lots of money, but consider ing short crops and people practic ing economy our years record has been gratifying to me. Then to no tice the sweet fellowship and co operation which exists among the stockholders makes a fellow like me proud to be one of them. One of the biggest things that the Bonlee Bank has ever accomplised was to elect Mr. Claud C. Bray, Cashier, a man w'ith experience and ability, honest and sober. When a mere boy Claud handled my cash drawer and proved himself worthy of trust. He is a safe financier, his enemies would admit. Claud, with the other directors, after coinsidering the whole situation decided best for all ; concerned not to pa a dividend. Nat urally, some of the boys first want- -: . j Frederick B.

Harrington passed away Jan. 15, 1929 at 9:20 o’clock. She was 54 years of age. For sev eral years she had suffered with | THE CHATHAM RECORD angina trouble, but most of the time kept going. Nov. 9, she was taken worse and was confined to her room, but kept cheerful up till the last. Mrs. Harrington made her hus band a helpful loving companion. To i her children she was a loving moth er and made many sacrifices for them, and they honored and loved her devotedly. Her children are Mrs. Make Ellis, Asheboro, N.

At last she realized that she was rapidly passing away, and was sub missive to God’s will, and her soul ascended to heaven without a strug gle. She was one who will be great ly missed in the home, community and by all who knw beer, but lets us not forget that God deeth all i things well, and may we be sub missive to His will. --the public now demands 375,0 M Jars of Vicks daily , Compared with 3918, this epidemic, so far, is mild; and yet, in spite of vastly increased capacity, the Vicks Laboratories are once more operating night and day to meet the emergency demand for more and more Vicks Vapoßub. Over 375,000 jars are now being produced daily. approved method L ( I ¥ T of using Vicks for a LU I 1. AS A PREVENTIVE I Several times a day, insert Vicks up the nostrils. Abo melt ■ a little night and morning in a bowl of boiling' water and I inhale the steaming medicated vapors. Thi3 helps to ward j| off germ-infection. i I 2. IF A COLD STARTS | ff possible, go home and go to bed. Take a laxative and a 3 hot lemonade. Apply hot, wet toweb over throat and chest p until the skin is throughly reddened. Then rub vigorously $ with'Vick3. Spread on thickly and cover with warm flan i nel. Leave the bed-covering loose, so that the vapors, releas ed by the body-warmth, may be freely inhaled. At the * same t:me, Vicks acts through the skin like a poultice. Repeat this treatment every four hours, eat lightly, and stay in bed until the cold is broken. Complete rest helps the body throw off the cold more quickly. 3. AFTER A FLU ATTACK Physicians advise that the chief danger in this epidemic ! is after influenza. Then, more than ever, colds, attacking the weakened system, may lead to bronchitis, sinus-trouble or pneumonia. Thb is especially true of children or old folks. Heed even the slightest cold as a danger signal. Vicks b especially valuable here, because it is applied externally, and so can be used freely, as often as needed, without up setting delicate digestions, as too much “dosing” is so apt to do.
