Obituary Mrs. O'Brien.

Died March 15th, 1922, Mrs.
Martha Jane O'Brien, wife of
James W. O'Brien. 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.

Do It Right or Not At All.
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.

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.

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.

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. His prom
ise still rings true I II go and
stay awhile, then I will come for

A thirsty man doesn't go to a

drink he likes best the one
that tickles his palate, that
Eeps him up and does not
urt his digestion. If your
