Editors Reporter :
X' Last week a warehouse drummer,
from Winston stopped at my
place and after the usual greetings
took off his hat and bowed very
politely to a nearby corn field,
fetid he was in the presence. of
royalty and wanted to do honor to j
ivKing Corn. Well, I guess it is!
" that way, as several have told me j
* I have "the best corn they ever!
saw." You ask how I did it and
will say that some years ago when
I was so enthusiastic growing to
baoco, making 1,000 to 1,200 lbs.,
and at one time 1,380 pounds per j
aore, that I paid very little at
tention to oorn. Later, wheu I
found that the moat practical way
_ to get even with the American To-
IjbaQoo Company was to quit grow
r; s>y 6ohfiden\ of between
THREE and POUR times that
yield, and the secret back of it all
is CRIMSON CLOVER. If "Corn
is King," crimson clover is Queen,
)rtfß T take off my hat to the
Queen. She is the cause of it all,
and here is how it is done : I
| plow my wheat stubble land as
soon as a fair growth of weeds
have put up, then during the latter
part of August or first of Septem
ber sow winter oats and cross
plow the former, plowing with
double-shovel plow, then sow down
CRIMSON CLOVER seed and
drag with weeder, then in the
spring when the oats and clover
get • right for hay, it is the
best hay in the world. Oats are
far better than rye an rye gets
hard and tough before the clover
gets sufficiently matured. The
olover and oats come in together.
Cat off the hay and turn the sod
fehich is now full of the best plant
food for corn that it is possible to
get and plant your., oorn. Keep
dow.n the crab grass and watch the
oorn grow, and your neighbors
« will ask "what makes that corp.
grow so fast." Then in the
gather the best corn crop yon ertr
grew, sow wheat and
jrou will soon be a better
' PIED farmer.

as a committee to ask the county

can get some work done in this
county. This would give us some

,j in Stokes county, or 10 to the
township. This would raise the

.! raising from 30 to 50 bushels of j
! corn to the acre and this would,
move Stokes county corn cribs
nearer home in the near future,
then with plenty of corn we would
have more bacon.

Since last week the voting con
test has been rather dull compared
with the spirited voting of the
last few weeks, This is attributed
to the people being so busy with
their crops, many of the hardest
workers being occupied curing
I tobacco, saving fodder and doing j
other farm work.
However, a good many scatter- \
ing votes have come in. Miss
Beulah Pulliam having received
quite a gain, while a number of
