Sow Only Good Tobacco Seed.
Only tho largest and best
pads of tobacco should bo select
ed for seed, and even these
will contain a few small, litfht
seed that should not be sowed,
as they would produce weak or
sickly plants. They should be
separated from the good, large,
heavy seed, just as we separate
the small, light grains from our
seed wheat. In fact, there is a
greater difference between the
good and bad tobacco seed than
between the good and bad grains
of our seed wheat. In the case of
the wheat, all of the grains are
sufficiently large for us to see
or detect the difference between
the good and bad grains, and
we have been screening out the
bad grains and sowing only the
best, so there has been a gradual
improvement in the wheat,
while in the case of the tobacco
all the seed are so small the
average farmer has failed, by
the unaided eye, to see the
difference between the good
and bad seed, and has been
sowing them all along together,
so he has little, weak, sickly,
slow-growing plants from the
bad seed, and good, strong
plants all growing together in
his field.
Irregular planting or spacing
of the tobacco on the land, cut
worms, etc., are other factors in
bringing about a lack of uni
formity in our tobacco; and the
farmer must guard against ail
these things as much as possible
if he would realize a paying
profit on his labor in tobacco
growing.

A GIRL'S WILD MIDNIGHT
RIDE.
To warn people of a fearful
forest fire in the Catskills a
young girl rode horseback at
midnight and saved many lives.
Her deed was glorious but lives
are often saved by Dr. King's
New Discovery in curing lung
trouble, coughs and colds, which
might have ended in consump
tion or pneumonia. "It cured
me of a dreadful cough and
lung disease," writes W. R.
Patterson, of Wilmington, Tex.,
"after four in our family had
died with consumption, and I
gained 87 pounds." Nothing so
sure and safe for all throat and
lung troubles. Price 50c and

Build Eight or Ten Good Roads
Across the County.
Sanford, N. C., Jan. 15, 1912.
—At the election hold last week
in Lee county for good roads a
bond issue for §IOO,OOO was car-,
ried by about 4'X) majority. On
account of the extreme cold'
weather, the ground being!
covered with snow and ice, the
people of Sanford had hard work
to overcome the opposition in
the ' southeastern end of the
county. The good roads advo
cates are jubliant over their
success, which they claim will
enable them to build eight or
ten good roads across the coun
ty. The town of Sanford will
also improve its streets, arrange
ments having already taken
shape in this direction. Under the
act of the Legislature providing
for this bond issue the county
commissioners will call another
election at their next meeting
for the election of a
highway commission which will
have charge of the road con
struction.
