The Merchants of Forest City WINTER COVER CROPS - WILL PAY TAXES Raleigh, August 2.—Fall planted crops costing from four to eight dol lars per acre to grow will furnish at least $lO worth of grazing or $25 worth of hay without interfering with other money crops to be grown later on the same land. Such crops therefore will pay the taxes from land that otherwise knight be idle. "We pay taxes for our highways according to the amount we use them," says E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at State College. "For our lands, we pay a flat rate for the year, the assumption being that each farmer has possession of his land throughout the year and should keep it busy. If we fail to do so, it is our fault. It is true that many farmers who use their land for only six months each year, growing corn, cot ton, tobacco or some other summer crop could easily make cover crops pay their taxes." Mr. Blair states that these cover j A PHONE CALL brings our wagon for your laundry as soon as it is ready, and it is de livered back as soon as finished so that you have no trouble or delay.

The benefit may be I derived indirectly the or j ganic matter and atmospheric nitro- I gen added to the soil when the crop !is plowed under. Mr. Blair states j that a crop of crimson clover cost j ing four dollars per acre has, when j turned under, averaged increasing , the following corn crop by 17 bush i els per acre. Such a crop also saves '■ the land by preventing it from wash ' ing away and helping to hold the ' soluble plaant food. More should be planted this year, he states. Tom Tarheel says he washes his mules' shoulders at 12 o'clock and they like it about as well as he likes to wash his face and hands after a hard day of plowing.
