WW H KM IMS FOR THE SALE OF LEAF TdDBACCdD It affords us much pleasure to announce another opening sale at the Farm ers Warehouse. This Warehouse will be run by Joe Meadows, Walter Stark and "Bob" Hart, under the firm name of J. F. Meadows &. Co. We don't think that either mem ber of our firm needs any introduction to the farmers of Granville and adjoin ing counties, as all of us have been engaged in the warehouse business for 15 years and some much longer than that. Hard Work, Honest Dealing, Highest Prices WIO toe Otlii IVttotftto. It is our purpose this season to better work for our customers than ever be fore. We bought more than one-half million pounds tobacco of the last crop and have sold all this except a very small quantity, which makes us well pre pared to begin the new crop. We expect to buy more on our floor this season than ever before,andwill say that we expect this crop to bring good prices. What. helps our customers helps us. Therefore we shall spare no effort or energy in doing, at all times the very best possible thing for all who bring us their tobacco. And now with the highest appreciation to our host of customers, and friends for the large share of business they have so kindly given us in the past, we wish to express a hope that during the coming season we may be favored with even a larger share of your valued business, and we shall continue to do all in our .power to make our relationship both pleasant and profitable. Yours for Business, Jo Wo MEMDW & C; NORTH CAROLINA. SCUM OP THE EARTH- Mr Parker " Tells About the Great Saving of Plant Food by These. Every farmer owes it to himself, to his family and to posterity, to take the best care of his land that he possibly can; to maintain its fertility and to keep it from wash ing away. Investigators, whether scientists or practical farmers.have found that winter cover crops of any kind pre vent land, in a large measure.f rom washing, and when turned under the following spring make it more productive than if no crop had grown on it. An experiment covering a number of years, in one of the North wes tern! states, showed that more plant food was lost from the land during the months when no crops were grown on it than was taken off in the regular summer crops. If this was true in that state where they have long and cold winters when leaching is impossible for weeks at a time, how much more would it be true in North Carolina with her open winters when- plant food can be leached from our soils almost any week during our winter months. - i : . A ton of green rye contains, ac cording to good authorities about 6.6 pounds nitrogen, 3 pounds phos phoric acid,and 14.6 pounds potash. A ton of green wheat contains 10. 8 pounds nitrogen, 3 pounds phospho ric acid, and 14 pounds potash. Green oats contain just; a little less plant food than does green wheat A ton of green crimson clover con tains 8.6 pounds nitrogen, .6 phos phoric acid, and 9.8 pounds potash Red clover, Bur clover and the vet ches contain more plant food in the green state than crimson clo ver does. The wheat and rye men tioned above was probably grown on fertile land which explains their high percentage of nitrogen, for it is an established fact that crops grown on rich land contains more ni trogen than when grown on poor land. For that reason grain grown on rich land has a higher feeding value than that grown on poor land. It may be well for us to re member this when growing grain for our own feeding purposes. Rye, wheat and oats take nitrogen from the soil and store it in the plant.thus saving much of this cost ly element of plant food that would otherwise be leached from the land by our winter rains. The stools or bunches and their roots and leaves retard the flow of water and as brakeswhieh will prevent to a large degree the washing of our roll ing lands. The clovers save tha land from washing in the same way and in addition to this are benefi cial by being able to take nitrogen fron: the air through the agency oi bacteria which adds to the fertility of the soil. But to grow these lat ter crops successfully the soTjl must contain the bacteria peculiar to the particular crop grown- It, has been the experience of many, of our farmers that any crop grown after a winter-cover crop, when turned under at the proper time in the spring, and disked well before and after turning, will produce a great deal more, often as much as 50 per cent more, than if no winter-cover crop had been grown. The seed for a cover crop will cost from one to five dollars an acre according to kind and quan tity of seed used. This should save to the soil and add to the next year's crop more than twice the cost of the cover crop. Sow at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds crimson clover seed per acre and cover lightly with harrow or cultivator. These can be sowed in growing crops, on stuble land, or after peas. Sow from 20 to 30 pounds of vetch per acre if sown with small grain, and if sown alone put from 40 to 50 pounds per acre Rye should be sown at the rate of one to one and a half bushels per acre. An application of manure, or from 200 to 500 pounds acid phos phate, per acre and 25 to 50 pounds muriate of potash on sandy or gray land, will be helpful to the clovers and vetches. For rye or other small grain it may be better to add 2 per cent nitrogen to the above. It is now time to commence put ting these crops in. When put in cotton fields it is better to sow im mediately after the pickers, as in that way no cotton will be knock ed out in covering the seed. Put in the crop that will succeed best in your locality and experiment with other crops in a small way until you are assured they will make satisfactory growth on your land and under your conditions.

That is an interesting story the Concord Tribune tells of the three cotton mill workers one of them said he was a mill man and it is presumed the other's are who a greed to go out on an evangelistic tour purely for the Nmoney they could get out of it. One who claim ed to be a college graduate and an ex-preacher was to do the preaching and the others, who outfitted the preacher, were to do the singing, etc. At the last moment the bet ter nature of one of them asserted itself, he backed out and the ex pedition was off. Then the whole story came out, because the ex preacher wouldn't return the cloth es his backers had bought him.and when he told the story of the a greement and the story wasn't de nied he said they were all drink ing. This was truly a fine lot to go out to call sinners to repen tance, but it was only the better angel of one of them that saved Hickory from the visitation. We have referred to this case to say that we have no doubt that man of the so-called preachers who come around holding tent meetings, and who usually attract attention by the extravagance of their language which constantly, borders on the profane and the vulgar, if it doe$ not cross the border, are of just such material as composed the Con cord expedition; and some of them are are not as well equipped to talk, being neither college gradua tes nor ex-preachers. Yet, by de nouncing the regular ministry and the organized churches these cat tle demoralize those who are so weak as to follow their leadership and wean them away from the in fluence of the regular churches anc the ministry, the while they fill their pockets with the contributions of their dupes. Gastonia has been greatly afflicted with these so-called preachers and the Gazette says the regular ministry and the muni cipal authorities have agreed that no more tent meetings conducted by irresponsible preachers shall be held in that town. We don't know how they will proceed, but some way should be found to stop the wolves in sheep's clothing from preying on the people, prostituting sacred things and bringing the re ligion of Jesus into contempt.
