Now Is Fine Time To Make Selections For Fall Planting While dogwoods, red bud (Judas) and other trees in the woods are blooming is a good time to make se lections and marking for your yard planting. It is also a good time to get trees in good condition for moving next fall or winter. All around the tree dig a circular trench about a yard in diameter. This trench should be about the width of a spade and deep enough to cut practic ally all lateral roots. If the tree is of a kind that makes a decided taproot, then dig down deep enough to sever the taproot a foot or more below the surface of the ground. Then thor oughly fill this circular trench you have made in cutting the roots, using loamy topsoil, pack it down firmly, and water if the ground is dry. Be sure to prune the top of the tree also, cutting back and thinning branches for the double purpose (1) of giving it the proper shape and (2) to reduce the branches in about the same pro portion as the roots have been re duced. little or no further attention will be required. In February or early March take up the tree carefully, pre serving all the mass of feeding roots that have grown to take the place of those cut away, and keep the roots damp until planting is completed. In conformity with the action of banks generally and in this communi ty, the First National Bank, of Ashe boro, N. C., has reduced the rate of interest it will pay on savings ac counts. J. W.

Youth Stressed Its Opportunities And Advan tages Are Discussed, Notable Examides Given. Among the recent speakers at the weekly assembly hours of the lo cal high school have been Doctors R. S. Truesdale, C. G. Smith, and H. T. Stevens, of the M. E., Presbyterian, and Baptist churches, respectively. Dr. Truesdale was the speaker on March 23, when he told of a drive through the county and of the beau ties of blooming trees by the way. Among other things, the minister spoke of the Judas tree and its beau tiful flowers. ‘They (the trees) prom ise something fine, but give absolute ly nothing,” he said. The Judas tree was described as growing strong enough in Palpstine that Judas is supposed to have hanged himself on one. “We can live very close to the most beautiful things and to the best things and not appreciate them,” said the speaker. It was pointed out that Judas’s association with Jesus was very different in results from that of John. Continuing, Dr. Truesdale de clared: “Judas had something to sell. He never got to where he did not have something to sell. He would sell the most sacred things. He sold the of God for seventeen dollars. “The whole world is trying to buy youth,” said the minister in closing. “Let’s hold some things sacred.” Dr. C. G. Smith talked to the fac ulty and students March 30, on the accomplishments of youth and the call to the youth of today. He said in part: “Jesus went about from town to town. This was a roving college. The disciples were the students.” The minister gave a report on a survey by Lancaster which showed that almost all great minds have shown strong tendencies toward their life work in early youth. The fol lowing facts were brought out by the survey: Most poets have shown poetic ability of high character be tween the ages of fifteen and twenty; musicians have, in most cases, shown ability by the age of ten; and artists by the age of seventeen. Probably a majority of the pioneers went west by the time they were eighteen. Lafayette came to America to help fight the British when he was only nineteen. When Die young French man went to Yorktown, Cornwallis said, "The boy cannot escape me now;” but “the boy truned,” declared Mr. Smith.
