or*. TWENTY FIVE ACRES <\\ ENOUGH SAYS FARMER Raleigh, N. C., April 11).?Twenty five acres of land ia enough for any one farmer and will'furnish him food and feed and enough money for a comfortable living if handled prop erly. This is the verdict of Zeiijos Jen nings who farms near Elizabeth City inf Paspuotnnk county. "1 have only 25 acres in cultiva tion but there are about 30 acres iii the farm including the lots and a small piece of woods over there," says Mr. Jennings. "1 ]?id lor tins farm at the rate of $135 per a#rc, sent my daughter throiiglj college auj my wife and I lived comfortably ourselves while we were doiiy? it. 1 make every acre produce to its limit and generally have something on the ground throughout the year." Mr. Jennings believes that a little hard work, mixed with a good deal of planning and a careful utilization of all the land throughout the vear will FOR OVER 200 YEARS haarlem oil has been a world wide remedy for kidney, liver and bladder disorders, rheumatism, lumbago and uric acid conditions. correct internal troubles, stimulate vital ?rcana.

Mr. Jennings had 11 of his 25 acres in May peas. Under these he used at j the rate of 800 i>oiuids p^r acre of a 7-5-5 fertilizer. He plants the peas rather thinly because he gets better jhhIs that way and sometimes when others are selling their peas at 75 cents per basket, he sells his for $3 per basket. He uses the Laxtonia and Thomas Laxton varieties. The latter is early and the Laxtonia is late. 1 Generally he makes 100 baskets of | peas for fach has; of seed planted. A I basket holds five pecks. ' But last year from the 25 acres, Mr. Jennings sold 1,300 baskets of peas, 300 baskets of table beets, 311 | barrels of prime Irish potatoes, and ' 91 (i bushels of sweet ]>0tatoes. He ! jtarvesled 144 barrels of corn much I of which was sold for seed corn at ] per bushel. He picked out 200 bas i ket-s of snap beans but quit when the > price dropped. Hc could have harvest fed 500 with ease, he states. In addi j lion to this he has a garden, grows J cabbage and turnips, keeps a oow or two and raised and fattened about 3000 pounds of pork.

BUCHANAN, JR., GARAGE* ( \ , V % A USED CAR IS ONLY AS DEPENDABLE AS THE DEALER WHO SELLS IT ' o PROGRESS RECORDED IN NEGRO EXTENSION WORK Raleigh, April 19?Negro farmers in North Carolina working with the local extension agents arc making commendable progress, observes C. Hudson who has charge of this work. At the present time, there are 19 loeal Negro agents at work wu- the colored fanners of North Carolina and last year, these agents planned to have 8,556 farm demonstrations. They actually conducted 7,993 or 93 percent of those planned. This was made possible, states Mr. Hudson through the fine cooperation given the agents by local leaders among the colored people. Then too, he finds that the agents worked with groups : of men rather than with individuals | entirely. The demonstrations covered the entire range of farm activities. This year, much attention is teing given to cstablshing home gardens. It, is planned to have a garden on each farm in the territory Where the agents are at work. The gardens are to be well balanced having some root crops, seed . crops, leaf crops? and fruit crops. Particular attention will be given to soil preparation and fer tilization, and at the proper time en eouragement will be given to canning and preserving vegetables and fruits for winter use. In a number of counties, this gar den work will be accelerated by spe? ial contests in which prizes will l>c awarded. The gardens will be visited and judged and proper recognition ?riven those colore^ fanners who se riously attempt to produce the food needs of the- family at tioms. Mr. Hudson finds that wherever In; goes in North Carolina, the -Negro) farmers are making an effort to itn I prove their farming conditions and many of the more progressive menj are studying how to produce their! food and feed crops on the home' I'anii. There are many successful ex amples of this type of farming and tin- number increases each year, p:?r lieularly where the local agents are active. ENGLISH SCIENTIST TO VISIT STATS Raleigh, N. C., April 19?Fanner and students in North Carolina will be given the opjKjrtunity to lear: something of the work in agricultur al research done at the famous old Kothamsted Experiment Station near Ilarpcuder, England, where the dine tor of this Station visits the Noit 1 Carolina State College in May.. "Sir John Russell, direct'# of Hw Rot hamstead Experiment Station wi? visit North Carolina on May 25 and 2(5 of this year and will give two lec tures at State College whi!;* here,'' savs Dean T. 0. Sehaub, head of th * . ,C> | School) of Agriculture. "The first lecture will be, Kothamsted Field Ex periments for 83 years, and the sec ; ond .will be Rothamsted Scientific In vestigations in Soil Fertility! Direc-1 tor Russell ik head of the < ldest ex periment station where invesi igj'tions have been conducted contin,uousiy in the world. lie ;eomes to America tf attend the meetings of the Interna tional Congress on Soil Fertility andj while in this. Country will visit- ten;! states. North Carolina is the only! southern state on his itinerary." Dean Schaub is particularly inter ested in having a large group of far mers and scientific men; to greet I)i j rector Iiussell when lie conies to State College, lie is one of the leading men of England and was knighted by the1 King for his services to the farmers! of that country. The work done by J the Rothamsted Stationj under his di rection has made it a place to which agricultural students point as final authority, especially on questions of soil fertility and manures. The value of the work done there lies in the fact that the same tests have been conducted for years and years with out any interruption and,careful rec ords have been made of all results.

WHITE LEGHORNS An olj feller said lie wasn't inter ested in knowin whether it was a 'sitting' or a setting of eggs, what he wanted to know was whether, when she cackled, the old hen was laying or lying. A Tennessee report says that the average for the farm hens of that state is 58 eggs per year. Some of them must have been laying out in bnish piles, for we do better than that in four months counting every hen we've got. We have trapnesi records on a good bunch of pullets from seventy to a hundred eggs since they started in the late fall, and fif ty hens laid 1025 eggs in the month of March, and they did that all winter too. You can have a nice little flock of real egg producers if you start now. No matter what else you have got, try some Tancred strain Leg horns. Positively 110 sickness ever in our flock of Leghorns. Out of .">08 tested on the seventh day of incubation last week, there were 10 infcrtiles and 8 dead germs leaving 350, or over 95 percent hatch able eggs. We will sell for the rest of the late season, ?-^gs for hutching at $1.00 per T5, or $0.00 per hundred t'. o. b. Sylva. " B. il. and II. P.
