Correspondent Thinks It Is A

All The Attention.
King, Feb. 2.—February is
here and the sun shines beauti
fully, which causes the wheat
fields to look fresh, green and
tender and the farmers are doing
a lot of work. It seems that
every farmers' aim is to bring
I prosperity to his home,
j Mr. Frank Ham, who has been
! in the hospital at Greensboro for
' two weeks, returned home last
! Saturday.
Mr. S. K. Andarson, of this
section, sold nine hundred dol
lars worth of tobacco
I on the Winston-Salem market last
week.
i Mr. N. F. Combs and Miss
Ida EJ wards wera united in inar
riane at the heme of the bride's j
father, Mr. 11. L Edwards, last!
Sunday. Rev. Mr. Simmons, of;
Vade Mecum Spring#, was the;
officiating minister.
Dr. S. F. Tillotson has com
pleted his new residence and
moved last Saturday.
We have seen so much about
the growing and selling of to-'
bacco. We see something in thej
pa per-3 every da v. We notice ■
thaft a good many of our farmers;
; have already got their to-1
| bacco land ploughed. Tobacco'
:is an all around twelve months;
crop. The most important crop j
that u never mentioned is a'
| good garden. A good gardener j
says that a good garden is half j
.living, but we think it ismjre. j
j If some .one don't believe it trv j
it this year and see what you
lean make on a good garden,
j Plant your forward cabbage in
! December, poa3 and onions in
j February and when spring opens:
lup plant something every week
and cultivate well. When Sep
' tembpr comes sow you some;
'turnip seed in your garden,'
I when cool weather comes, cover j
with brush and it" necessary goj
to vour garden every day in the i
year for table supplies. Wei
noticed a few years ago a gentle- \
1 man had a four-acre field of,
j tobacco, that looked mighty nice
'and in the corners there were
three little rows of potatoes. His
garden was a little patch plough
ed up in an old straw field. A
1 good able-bodied man could have
' carried on his shoulder what
! vegetables this man made in
twelve months.
Our farmers will work'in a
small place preparing to sow to-j
1 bacco seed and some of them
'will wear out a half dozen pair j
jof shoes running about over the
j neighborhood every Sunday to
isee who has got the largest
j plants and seldom you ever see
. a man in the garden. His wife
children have to do that
, digging. What is a man's profit
f if he raises six or eight hundred
dollars worth of tobacco and
nothing else? A man like this
feeds to his stock daisy
. j middlings and eats fat back meat
! himself. We imagine his
! profit is a hard time.

Almost Impossible To Secure
Enough Teachers For

MANY ARE IMPORTED
Supt Smith Will Probably Con
duct School In Spring For
7 hose Who Want to Pre
pare To Teach.
It is probable that Supt. of
Schools J. T. Smith will con
duct a school at Danbury in the
early spring for those who de
sire to prepare themselves to
teach in the public schools of
the county.
On account of the scarcity of
teachers each year the Board
of Education of thn county,
through Supt. Smith, is doing
all in its power to encourage
more of the young people of the
county to prepare themselves
to teach. A great deal of
trouble is experienced every
year in supplying the schools
With teachers. This year there
are possibly one-fourth to ore
third of the teachers in Srokes
from other counties, and ?.t that I
some of the schools have beer,
unable to secure teachers.
The Reporter hears a lot of
complaint about the scarcity of
teachers.
