Agricultural Department OF TIIE FARM FIRS BANK & TRUST CO Conducted By C. C. Proffitt What to Do For Alfalfa When it Turns Yellow If your alfalfa is looking sickly clip off and leave it on the land. It will come stronger next time. The success of the alfalfa that is growing in this county depends to a great extent on its being clipped early the first time. Will you as a farmer, help to make Rutherford the banner alfalfa county in North Carolina? One acre of alfalfa on each and every farm will break the state record and will be worth thousands of dollars to this county. You can't possibly lose by starting one acre. If you should fail to make any success with alfalfa the first year you really haven't lost, because you will have increased the fertility of that soil enough to pay all expenses. The amount of cash that is leaving out of Rutherford county each year for hay, is enormous. Selling high priced cotton to buy high priced hay is not good farming. We are in distressing need of more and better live stock in this section, but we can't have it until we begin to grow something for such stock to eat. Just one acre of alfalfa on every farm will relieve this situation to a very great extent. A fine bunch of farmers have already decided to join this movement and are planning now to seed this fall. Think it over and fall in line. C. C. Proffitt, Manager Farm Dept. Farmers Bank & Trust Co. Forest City, N. C.

When an American wants to travel, he telephones for a taxicab. But in Korea the taxis are "jiggis," —baskets of wood and bamboo. The front view of the "jiggi" gives the impression of a spreading fan, but in the rear is a platform on which the trunks or other baggage are placed. The children are piled on top of the boxes and the strange moving van bobs away. Perhaps a boy only fifteen or six teen years old will play the part of beast of burden, but it is gener ally a Korean woman who tests her strength to the breaking point as she carries a steamer trunk down the street. The condition of women and children in foreign lands is a prob lem to which the new Interchurch World Movement, in which Amer ica's Protestant bodies are cooperrt ing, has been asked to" give special attention. To this end, schools and social centers are to be established at various points throughout Korea, while a centra? union college a l ro to be staffed and equipped tV. .xpense of the churches o: Amer ica.

Now let us give the war a rest, The rout, the siege, the sally And gayly shed our coat and vest. And go and clean the alley!' Let's gather up the dogs and cats Which have this life departed, And let tin cans and bricks and hats Off to the dump be carted. Inwinteryou may voice your views Which you believe important, And base long sermons on the news But in the spring you'd ortn't. Then every ablebodied man Should whoop the "Clean Up" slogan, And chase the tomato can, The cast-off hat and brogan. So let us clear our bulging brows Of trifling thoughts and narrow And gather up the old dead cows, And work the rake and harrow. The rubbish left by careless men, And lazy human cheeses, Will bring a host of germs again, And they'll bring punk diseases. And forty billion flies will come, As many microbes bearing, And round our weary heads they'll hum, And keep us busy swearing. Clean up! Clean up! On every block Let all the workers rally! No man should stand around and talk Until he's cleaned his alley! —Walt Mason. Swat The Fly Kill the Mosquito We have Powders, Lotions, Fly Paper. Keep down these pests. They are filthy and breed disease. Forest City Route No. 1. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Matheny died Thursday and was buried at I\|lt. pleasant church Fri day.
