Time Now To Plant Winter Hay Crops An acre of land planted to small grain this month wilil . produce at least one ton of hay next spring and will keep the grower from hav ing to buy high priced hay to feed his work stock. "There is a greater need for plant ing winter hay crops this year than ever before," says E. C. Blair,, ex tension agronomist at State college The crops over a large part of the State have been severely damaged by the dry weather and this means a shortage of feedstuffs in that sec tion. There are other sections where the crops are good but where many farmers depend on buying western hay. These farmers are now facing the prospect of paying high prices for their hay as dry weather has also cut the hay crop in these western states." Mr. Blair recommends that an acre of land be sown to small grain for every mule and cow on the farm. This will produce sufficient hay to last from May until the soybean hay is ready in the fall. Three seeding mixtures are recommended as fol lows: No. 1: Oats 2 bushels: barlsv 1 THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1930. bushel; wheat 1 peck; vetch 20 pounds. No. 2: Barley 1 bushel; oats 1 I bushel; vetch 20 pounds. No. 3: Wheat 1 bushel; barley 1 bushel; vetch 20 pounds. Any land that is now vacant may be used but, according to Mr. Blair, the ideal land is that after tobacco, soybeans, cowpeas, or corn that has been cut and shocked. The only pre paration needed is a thorough discing after which the seed may be drilled in or sown by hand and covered with a harrow. For poor land Mr. Blair recom mends the use of 40 pounds per acre of an 8-4-4 or 12-4-4 fertilizer mix lure. For rich land or where the land was well fertilized last spring this is not necessary, he says. >»/—'/ 11111 11 - CHANGE OF BATTLE CRY. • Robert H. Lucas, executive direc tor of the Republican National Com mittee, has brought a new thought into the coming campaign. He says: "T.he country is facing a crisis. We are in the midst of a temporary jut serious depression. If by reason of this ;Demo3(ratic party, traditionally known as "the Free Trade party" and "the Party cf Unrestricted Immigration"—should gain control of the legislative branch of the Federal .government, what chance would there be for a restora tion of normal 'business? Elect a Democratic Congress in 1930 and this country will not see normal busi ness again for some years to come. If our memory serves us correctly the battle cry in the last campaign was "Hoover and Prosperity." Na tional prosperity was promised with Mr. Hoover's election. Now \yith thousands of men out of employment, factories shutdown or working part time, farmers calling for help, Mr. Lucas comes forward with a state ment that a Democratic administra tion would disrupt business and wreck the country.—Lenoir Topic- News.

John Snowden Wood, secre tary of Forest City Lodge, No. 381 A. F. and A. M., celebrated his seventy-ninth birthday on Saturday, July 12th, 1930. I John Snowden Wood was born in Barnsley, Yorkshire, England, July 12th, 1851. He was initiated on Nov ember 17, 1894; passed April 6th, 1905 and raised April 13th, 1905. Since then he has been a loyal Ma , son and willing worker. As a Pres byterian minister he has always found time to improve himself in Masonry. He was exalted a Royal Arch Mason, May 10th, 1905; made a Royal and Select Master in the Council in May 1905 and became a Knight Templar July 26, 1906. In November 1923, Dr. Wood was hon ored with Scottish Rite 33 degree. He became a member of Oasis Tem ple, A. A. O. N. M. S., in August i (j 11. » [ As he has advanced in the differ | ent degrees in Masonry Dr. Wood has been honored with almost every office. He was High Priest of the Royal Arch in 1906, 1907, 1916, 1917, also Grand Chaplain in 1920, 1921, 1922, 1923, 1925, 1926, 1929. Also Grand Chaplain of Royal and Select Masons 1921. 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1926. Grand Chaplain of High Priesthood 1919, 1920, 1921, 1923, 1924, 1925 and Past Most Ex cellent President 1928, 1929.

Dr. Wood was made a member of the Order East ern Star in 1908 and was Grand Chaplain in 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920 and Grand Patron in 1922, 1923. Few Masons in North Carolina i can point to as long and faithful service in Masonry as Dr. John S. Wood. His period of service and usefulness has not by any means en4?d« is-at present active Sec retary of Forest City Lodge, Royal Arch, and Recorder of Commandery. He attends the meetings of Grand Lodge and assists with the work there. While not an active Pastor, Dr. Wood preaches almost regularly in the City church of all denomi j nations. He is an able preacher and j is always heard by a large audience. « A man loved by all who know him and 1 wish him many more years of active ! service. (Signed) A. Brother Mason. Charles C. Erwin. THE HOME PAPER. The merchant's relations 'to his Lome town paper are supposed to be tnose of an advertiser. That is a narrow view. The home town paper is an institution. The merchant -can no more escape its influence than ' anybody else in the community. | whether he advertises in it or not. Yet, as a consistent advertiser hi' j relations with the local newspaper ' become definitely constructive. H ° j becomes a nart (if this institution 1 i without which no community can cx . pi ess itself. What ever its merits or demerits, the home town paper is I r-p. expression of thn community. 1 literally, it is (he "V« x ico of the • People" in a sense that cannot hold 1 true for any other medium. ; This institution keeps friends in j touch with friends. To the host of ! it* ability it answers Who. What, ! When, Where, How and Why? It j brings the individual out of himself, i It speaks the local language. It in i terprets community life. Week by I week, or day by day, it tells the story j of the town and'county. , Most of us are so accustomed to j the home town paper that we tak*> it as a matter of course. If we think | anything about it at al. we think OT J its deficiencies. These are present i largely because it is run by fallible : human being. The wonder about the home town paper is that it contains ! so few mistakes, not so many. To the merchant, especially, the home town paper is an opportunity His business, too, is ft local institu tion. Unless it finds some kind of ex pression in the home town paper, both the paper and the business have, io an important extent, failed to function. Each is affected somewhat by every successive failure in this respect. It does not cost a great deal of money to advertise in the local pa per. Most advertisers are over-.iudi eious rather than extravagant. It is The continual message that counts most. Sporadic advertisements now and then are of doubtful value. Per haps they are better than no adver tising at all. Every advertisement "'■'C-i bv a business house should blend into every other advertisement it places. The merchant should think in terms of a campaign rather than in terms of the single insertion. Vast progress has been made in advertising within recent years. Out standing examples of it are to be found in the national field. Locally, however, advertsing has much room for development .Aside from one or two of the big stores, the average merchant in the avereage small town gn es too little study to the power of advertising. But conditions are changing. More and more merchants are coming to realize that they are losing money '• rn d prestige when they are not to be j found; in the advert{sing columns! of the home town paper. This is one | of the healthiest signs in the field I of retail merchandising.—The Clin ton (S. C.) Chronicle. REPUBLICANS AND THE HARD TIMES I A big mucky-Muck in the Repub- j lican party is charging the hard times' to the Democrats. Perhaps because j it was thought a few years ago that j Mr. Hoover was more or less a Dem ocrat. The Republicans aren't going to take the blame for the lack of prosperity even if they have to sac rifice their President.—Cleveland Star. CAROLINA "The Little Theatre With the SPINDALE, N. C.
