These are aleo the best months for seeding retches, oats and rye.; Wheat should not, ha sown until " after' a harJ frost, in order" to escape the " Hessian fly. ; Oats should be soaked, for ten minutes before sowing in a solution of one-half pound of formalin in twenty - Are gallons of water. This will prevent loss by smut during the following spring. During these fall months' every unoccu pied field should be seeded to crimson clover or one of the; vetches. Crimson clover, especially the native grown seed In hull, If sown upon a Bermuda or crab ' grass sod or among pea vines without ' covtr jg In, will give a certain catch, and ' every dollar spent In the fall tor seed should return at least five In the spring. The '. clover ' will ' furnish good gras lng from Christmas until April, then if .stock is taken off the clover will make , two tons per acre of hay by May 10th. . The stubble and roots will enrich the soil - for the following crop of corn, cotton or tobacco.- Tobacco growers In particular ' are warned that the large amount of pot ash and nitrates left in this crop, unless the land is protected by a growing crop, ' will be largely washed away by spring. Farmers . who intend to sow clover seeds this fall are advised to procure their seeds, or at least samples thereof, before : September 1st and have them tested tor quality at the department of agriculture before sowing. The clover, lucerne Wjd grass seeds sold in North Carolina are often of very poor quality, even though old at a high price., Clover and lucerne are apt to be infested by the seeds of destructive parasite, cuscuta trlfolll, the dodder or love vine, which soon ruins tbe meadow. Farmers should .;" take J no chance, but learn what they propose' to sow before sowing It, . t ' ' ' Obbald McCabtht, Botanist, H.G, Dep't. Agriculture. Note for the Farmers. ; A great effort Is being made to put the-J Farmers' Alliance on its feet again, .and to extend the work pf its jtate business agency, which ten years ago did a busl- ztess aggregating, it was claimed, f 800, 000 a year; but now does very little.'

Klnston to a remarkably progressive town in many respi cts- But Klnston Is not making the most of Its opportunities. Klnston stands at its front door with Its hands in' Its pockets and bums " what a great boy arn I" and dreams dreams about the past, while a future pregnant with possibilities, stands be fore it smiling and Inviting, but unrecog nized and unnoticed. - ,' r ' What has made Charlotte the greatest of all North Carolina cities 1 What has pushed Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston and other places forward? They have taken advantage of their op portunities. ' ' ' ' H .1 Klnston Is more favored by nature and ' by location than any of, them. Its opportunities are greater. ; 8urrounded : by hundreds of square miles of the most fertile and productive land in the world, with a climate sur passed nowhere, protected In some pecu liar way from the terrino storms which ravage and the drouths which burn up the growing crops In other sections; it might reign as queen of the garden spot of the world. " ' s Tremendous are' the possibilities. All that is needed to develop them is a com binatlon of capital and brains. One million dollars judiciously invest ed in and about 'Klnston would bring bigger dividends than ; most of these mining and oil well schemes into which millions upon millions are poured by a confiding, expectant and generally disap pointed public Is is not possible for Klnston business men to organize an improvement com pany and sell - stock tor money with which to carry out Improvements which would earn dividends by ; developing Klnston and opening up to it all the Surrounding country,? Thus a trolley system could be estab lished which within two years would in crease the volume ot Kinston's trade ten fold and every line could be made more than self-sustaining, ; 4 ! , Imagine, for instance, a line via 8even Springs to Goldsboro, and the building up of a fashionable Spa. , This in itself would profitably employ a quarter, of a million. j ;;. ;';; f .? l ; Ll: ; 1 Then another line to-Snow HOI via Hookerton and Instltate, and a third to Trenton via Cades and Tuckahoe. Then with the steam "road already con structed Into Duplin, and to be extended, would give Klnston fonr feeders from all parts of this favored section. 1 In this level country the building of trolleys would be easy and cheap. Local freight and express would be the chief source ot revenue. Even with ; good roads It would be cheaper for the farmers of Wayne,Greene, Jones and Duplin to load their tobacco, cotton and track on cars and whirl into Klnston in an hour, market their goods, , do their trading and get back; home for early supper and chores. , These facilities would soon be demand ed by the farmers in the next surround ing tier of counties and the roads could '; easily be extended and thus Klnston would become the actual center ot all this magnificent section. ' l. Think what it would do for trade I ' Think what it would do for Kinstou generally 1 -. i . It is no dream it could easily be mads an actuality. Something of this kind must soon be done if Kington Is to win in the race for supremacy with its rivals on either side. If we are to attract new business veiw tures and new residents . ws must Jbave omethlng to attract them with. The trolley is the greatest developer of modern times. New life, new enterprises and Increased value ot property in varia bly follows in their wake. They make,. business for themselves. The amount of travel between Kington and Snow Hill, forlnstance,' will surprise most people. hey would prove a great source of pleasure and recreation. Trolley pari Jos are a great fad where there are good systems. Parties are organized and cars chartered for an evening and the parties go wheresoever they will, usually having dance and supper at some popular place. . What a field for that would be for such, system as that ecp-sted. Of coarse ws want goo I ror.I ' 1 v - t -' 1 r z.ror- iont t:.:s f rV.oa, lut is w ; 1 1 : .
