DY RIDGE* DEPARTMENT
ADDS MUCH TO REPORTER. ,
Sandy Ridge, Feb. 7,
At Young's School.
The past s»nny days have been 1
well used by the farmers prepar
ing for another crop of tobacco. 1
'' • 1
M!any additional square yards of
i plant bed have been added witi. 1
; the hope of being roady for the
! plant destruction again, if i. 1
should come- I wonder who o.
what was responsible for such a 1
peculiar plant destruction last
planting season. Experts have
said it was caused by a worm in
the stem of the plants, others
I
supposed that if it was worm:
that it was a judgment sent on
the crop because of to muc
strife and greed over the crop.

At a countty meeting in one

"[one prominent farmer rose up

• prove differently and did so by
ian analysis that he had made'
' out of the State. This is being
I ipublished. In short it was im
- pure salty fertilizer that killc
r the plants.
There are still a few cases (.f

Much soil conserving is needed

Messrs. D. C., W. V. and Ban
ner Wood made a trip recently
in the mountains
'* Sam Wood trips so often, for
' lack of space and time we can't

3 Last Saturday Warren ant'

are teachers at Young's school.
Hovward Davenport and wife of
t High Point visited the sam
' camp on Sunday. In the aJfter
" noo n a hurried trip was made to
Pilot Mountain.
? I think the 1 Sandy Ridge de

Other things might be said but
time will not a'low. May comc
