A CHANGE FOR CO-OPEH Let Union Members Get a Thresh ing Machine in Your Neighbor hood. For years I had been talking and writing about the importance of a winter cover crop of oats, rye, wheat or vetch, and peas, soy beans and other legumes to protect and improve the soil: but I was met with the argument that the average farmer was not able to buy enough seed to amount to much. A few of them would plant peas between their corn rows, and others would sow a few acres of oats: but 1(0 per cent, of the cleared land was left without a cover crop during the winter. The whole force of the farm was too b'.isy picking cotton to pick enough peas for seed, and they cost too much for the average farmer to buy them, so there were only about one-third as many planted as should have been. I had repeatedly suggest ed the idea that each local Union should form a stock company and buy a threshing machine to | thresh small grain and peas, vines and all: but did not succeed , in impressing the idea on the j minds of the farmers until Pro- j festor Beattie came along andi persuaded a number of them to plant peanuts. As it required a threshing machine to pick the peanuts, the committee appoint ed by Stony Point Union to pur chase a machine, decided to buy one that would thresh grain and stock peas as well as peanuts. This machine has been in use only two years, but great good has already been accomplished, and much more is destined to follow. Beside threshing several carloads of peanuts, this machine his been busy, when the weather was suitable, threshing peas. More farmers than ever before have sown oats, with a view to saving more seed to sow cover C*ODS next fall. Other local unions are begin ning to sit up and take notice, and it is safe to predict that be fore many years there will be a threshing machine in every neighborhood. Every intelligent farmer knows, or should know, that a cover crop will protect his soil from washing and leaching dur ing winter and early spring, and even those who are not overly intelligen* know that peas will improve the soil. The main trouble has been the lack of seed. With a threshing machine in each neighborhood, thi* trouble will be over, and our ti -'ds will as in winter as in sum mer, more legumes will be plant el. netter crop-, will !>e made, and a brighter dtv will dawn.— o.

Dear Old Reporter: I will write you a few items from this section as I had to leave my old home county on account of bad roads, for I could not get my photo cars o'er the roads in Stokes. But I love to ! work the photo art in Stokes county, and am hoping that the Stokes people will begin to see that they need roads soon: and enterprises can come into the county and help pay for good roads. I Hello, St >kes folks, we had l frost over in the Virginia valleys lon June 10th and 11th. hut no 1 damage was done. The hail has 'done some damage in the past 10 ; days. Crops are looking tine ' where the wind and hail missed. Mrs. A. T. Overby and Annie, , her daughter, visited Mrs. J. W. Sprinkle last week to see the 1 great dancing beauty. This is a corn and grain section : and sheep and horses are plenti ful over here. A. T. OVERBY. Easier to Feed Two Horses Than One Now, brother one-horse farm er, in conclusion, get another horse: double your working capacity: double and treble your earning power. Don't put your self up against a horse or mule. I started and farmed with one mute, but it was because I had to, and not for long. Nor do I believe any one-horse farmer has to work one horse or mule long. Some will say, "0, I can hardly feed the one I have, much less two." I thought the same, and then I bought feed. Now my corn crib and I smoke-house are at home, and j I have three horses to feed. I Some will say big turn-plows, harrows, mowing machines, rakes and cultivators cost money. Well, they do, but you will, as a two-horse farmer, be able to i buy them, because they will pay j for themselves by increasing your earning power and improv-, ing your soil, which is your standard, as no man ge:s above! his soil. — J. P. Hopkins, in The Progressive Farmer.

This is a Straight-from-the-Shoulder Typewriter Talk by a* Typewriter Man to the Readers of the Reporter. No other ty|ie writer . Wheth-r you ||, m > IKI.I it nt iMir expense, it you whether you usi' them n'r will permit us. u. it. THIS IS THE NEW VISIBLE FOX " BETTER THAN THE BEST OP ALL OTHERS " Sent on Free Trial, Express Pd. Look at the illustration of our New Fox Visible Typewriter, shown above, and compare it with anv other typewriter you have ever seen or used. Here is a really VISIBLE typewriter note that the printing point is on top in plain sight, and that the type bars rise from where they are lying and strike the platen in full view of the operator, and in a direct line of vision, * and that all of what you have written remains in full sight until the paper is removed from the typewriter. Compare this with those old style typewriters, that some firms are still advertising as visibles, but on which the printing point is beneath the typebars, and you have to look down into them—or between them—to see what you have written. Touch a key in the keyboard and you change the color of your writing instantly from black, blue, or purple to red. Press the Tabulator Key at the left (in front) for paragraphing, writing the compli mentary closing, etc.: also for all kinds of billing. At the right (in front) is our Back Space Key. This moves the carriage backward for making corrections, or putting in punctuation. This key also enables the operator to erase a word of three letters and write one of four in its place. Press the Stencil Key shown at the left (front) for making stencils from which thousands of duplicate letters can be made. Four rows of keys reduce the shifting one-third. The right Shift Key locks automatically for writing in all caps. A positive automatic Line Lock presents you from writing beyond a predetermined line. The ribbon travels in a "zig-zag" line-not straight across from spool to spool as on others—thus using all of the ribbon and making it last three or four times as long as on other typewriters. The ribbon automatically re-winds itself from one spool to the other without any attention from the operator. Carriages are interchangeable, and run on ball bearing tracks. Platens are re movable, so that both a hard and soft platen can be used on the same typewriter. Extremely light touch, "No falling leaf is lighter than the touch of the Fox Typewriter." Choice of Elite, Pica, Condensed Roman, Medium Roman, or Italic Type—we carry more than three thousand special type in stock, of our own mannfacture, and can furnish keyboards for any language. The Fox has an easy, almost noiseless action, is very durable, and is sent com plete with cleaning outfit and metal cover with hard wood base. This is tin- Fox. the typewriter we manufacture—tills Is the typewriter that we will semi to anv one anywhere in the Fnited States on Free Trial, all express chaws fully paid—no "red tape"—no delay— 110'obligation to laiy. If purchased after trial you can pay a little lown—whatever you can spare— iiml the balance In small monthly payments. Header, in all sincerity we can honestly say thin proposition lias never been ctpialed by any other typewriter company, and all we ask Is that you write us TODAY—X >W—ulvliitr us your name ami address so we can send yoti our catalog and write you personally about our typewriter and Free Trial offer.
