I Furthssr pictures on other sec
tions of the county are expected
in the future. Farmers will
be notified in advance of the day
the supervisor will be at their
farm to check compliance,

I Winter Legumes.
Now is the time for farmers In
Stokes county to sow winter leg.
umes. Some farmers of the most
popular and best of winter le
guines for North Carolina are
Crimson Clover, Vetch and Aus
trian Winter Peas. Of these
thrtie Crimson Clover and Vetch,
are widely used.
Our most valuable plant food
is nitrogen. The air is full of
nitrogen and by planting legumes
you can gather your share of
this valuable plant food. The
rate at which Ve'ch and Crimson
Clove; will build up soil is almost
unbelievable. legumes
are excellent for following  o rn
after the last cultivation where
it is not planned to sow small
grain.
In preparing land for Vetch or
Crimson Clover it is only neces
sary to stir the soil Mery lightly
/Immediately before or following
seeding. This makes it very easy
to £=* d this crop in the corn mid
dles. The seed should be in
oculated if the crop has not been
grown on the land recently. This
is very important and can be done
by securing dirt from Crimson
Clover and Vetch fields or by
purchasing the inoculating cu]- ■
ture.
The Agricultural Conservation j
Program encourages the farmer;
to legumes. $1.50 pe r acre
can be earned as a soil building :
practice where they are seeded
and the entire acreage counts
sol conserving, eve n though seed
with a soil depleting crop. An
| additional payment of SI.OO per
a ° r e can be earned the following
spring if the legumte crop is turn
ed under. The rate of seeding l
for Vetch is 15 to 25 pounds per
! acre an d for Crimson Clover, 12
to 18 pounds per acre.
Farmers can secure further in- i
formation along this line by oall
ing at the office of the county
aj&nt in Danbury.

FINEST CROP
SINCE YEAR 'l3
i
TOBACCO REMINDS OF OLD
I TIMES STOKES FARMERS
HARVESTING REAL QUAL
ITY—PRICES DOWN SOUTH
I MAKING HAPPY ANTICIPA
TIONS.
Sltokes county farmers are
curing the best crop of tobacco
since 1913, when there was a
sweet and heavy cop which av
-1
eragej 17 cents.
That was in the old pre-war
days, when 17 cents following
the usual average of 8 to 10
cents, meant great prosperity t.
the tobacco growers.
,! Old-timers say tHis crop >e
minds them of old I'mes when
the plant matured, when the*-'
was good fertilizer of "Gerrra-'.
potash," and when the people,
who had not then plunged so
heavily jn debt, realized noney
to p; t y their bills and to "put in
the bank."
j Thirty days ago it looked blue
for the fa'mers. Thure wa? a
bad stand, and many fields shov
ed the effect of disease.
But recently there have b?en
copius rains, a"d Ihese showers
I have metamorphosed the situa
. tion. In a tour over a large
i part of the county recently a
. representative of the Reporter
saw many fields of magnificent
leaf, fully developed and ready
to ripen into golden beauty.
Prices down south are very
heartening to the farmers of
Stokes who generally expect
ing fine averages and an abun
dant prosperity.
In a few sections of the county
recently hail has wrought con
siderable damage, notably in the
Reynolds school section of
Quaker Gap, around Westfield
and Coliinstown. Other hail
storms visited Sauratown town
ship.
Otherwise generally in the
county the crop is very promis
ing, and entirely calculated to
assure the growers that good
prices are awaiting them when
markets of this belt open the
the last days of September.
