This good woman was a daughter of the late Lafayette and Nancy Loom. She was born in the latter part f the year 1857 and was a little past 70 years of age. At an early age she joined the Method ist Church at old Green Lake, remaining a consistent member until the end. She" was the mother of 11 children, 9 of whom survive her and 2 dead; also a large number of grandchildren and some great-grandchildren. Truly she was a good woman, her advice and counsel will never be forgotten. She was ready and willing to go, and so expressed herself during her suffering with that dreaded disease, pneumonia. Funeral services were con ducted by Rev. Ormond, of the Rockingham M. E. Church and her remains interred at Eastside cemetery. A large concourse of friends and relatives were pres ent and the grave was decorated with a profusion of beautiful flowers from loved ones. As she had requested, her grand . sons acted as pall-bearers. Feace to her ashes ! Bless her memory and the many sorrowing ones left behind, especially the dear brother that is left so lonely Frank.

It now looks as it at least a thousand acres of vetch will be sown in the county next fall. If properly inoculated, vetch is a sure crop. It can be sown in Sept., Oct., and even Nov. The best time is Sept. and Oct. How to Inoculate For one acre, mix 20 pounds of vetch with 200 pounds of soil that has successfully grown vetch for at least two years, and drill the seed and inoculated soil with a grain drill or a fertilizer dis tributor that will drop the seed and cover at one operation. Oats and vetch may be mixed with inoculated soil and dri'led in as above. Vetch will come as deep ly covered as will oats. This method gets the inoculation suf ficiently deep to keep it alive un til it takes hold on the vetch roots, and inoculation is sure to be effective. If you expect to sow vetch, cut this out for reference. W. H BARTON. Why is a Farmer's Head. How many more taan one rean farmers produce crop with tne samJpilizer Notwithstanding the fact that this is one of the largest factors in our agricultur al economy, yet we dare say that not one per cent of the farmers in the South have ever given it a thought, much less a place in their agricultural practice. The mineral elements, phos phate and potash, may be used to grow as many crops as are turned into the soil, plus one. Rarely, however, do we find a farmer who is willing to apply these elements to a cover crop which is planted for the purpose of turning into the soil for soil im provement. The writer, for years, has seeii com produced on poor soils without the application of fertilizers of any kind to the corn. The mineral elements were ap plied to vetch or the annual clov ers in the autumn, resulting in a heavier cover crop containing more humus than nitrogen, which was disced at right angles and turned and followed by corn, which yielded 40 to 50 bushels per acre, thus using the phos phate and potash a second time, with increased results in each crop, lhese elements may be applied to peas or beans in sum mer to be turned in fall, followed by vetch or annual clovers to be turned in spring and followed by corn, thus producing three crops with the same fertilizers. We get a soil full of ability and fer tility and a crop insurance against both drought and excessive rain fall, and the piece of depleted soil is made fertile with the use of only one application of fertil izer. Why is a farmer's head anyhow? W. H. BARTON. Important Notice. I find that some farms are nat urally inoculated for Soy Beans. Other farms a ports of farms are If your Soy Beans do not show nodules on their roots by the time they are two months old, side dress them with soil from soil that you know has been inoc ulated or is inoculated for Soy Beans. Such inoculated soil is best applied with a common fert ilizer distributor. Don't neglect this and spoil your Soy Bean crop. W. H. Barton The Election Is Over. The election is over, our minds are free. Lets think of clover and how to be free. Remember that legumes will beat all the booms . When we grow wiser, we'll use less ferti lizer. We'll leave that condition of debt and perdiction. Accumulating wealth, and acquiring neaith. We'll plant our gardens, and "shake" our Wardens, pay our debts, and cut out bets stop our gambles, and cease our rambles Build us homes and save our "bones", Drink our milk, and support our ilk. Eat our breads and develop our heads, Cut out quarrels and improve our morals Thank Almighty Hand, we'll enrich our Land. Begin NOW to think in terms of Hairy Vetch to be planted next September. W. H. Barton. In Memory Mrs. Hallie Andrews Dabbs, Mrs. Dabbs departed this life on the afternoon of Mav 16th. 1922. She was a noble youna Christian woman of sterline character. It could well be said of her, none knew her but to love her, for she won manv friends and all liked her for her sweet disposition and kindness. Mrs. Dabbs was Miss Hallie Andrews prior to her marriage several years ago to Mr. Sam Dabbs. She was just 26 years old. She left a sweet little boy. aee three years, father and mother, two sisters, one brother, husband and a host of friends to mourn for her. She has gone to heaven to join brother and sister and many other loved ones waiting for us. Hallie had been in ranid- ly failing health for more than a year. All that loving hands and physicians could do to give her back her health was done, but to no avail. God saw fit to take her home. It is hard for us to understand why those whom we love so well and whose lives are so pure, suf fer so and are then called away. But we know God's ways are not ours, for he plucks the fairest flowers for His kingdom. She was buried at Mizpalr church, of which she was a member. Rev.; B. E. Stanfield conducted the funeral service. Many beautiful flowers were placed on her grave. But let's not think of her as dead just waiting over yonder in that fair land, that "sunshine land" of wonder. We'll see her smile again some day.
