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.

Bearing "Jiggi" Strapped To
Her Shoulders, She
Transports Loads.
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.

CLEAN UP!
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.
