WORTERMELON TIME Old wortermelon time is comin' round afiain, And there ain't no man alivin' any tickleder'n me, For the way I hanker after worter- meions is a sinr-r - Which is the why and wherefore, . as you can plainly see. Oh! it's in sandy soil wortermelons does the best, And it's that they'll lay and wal ler in the sunshine and the dew Tel they wear all the green streaks clean off they breast; And you bet I ain't findin' any fault with them; are you? They ain't-no better in the vegetable line; And they don't need much 'tendin', as ev'ry farmer knows; j And when theyr.ripe and ready fer to pluck from the vine, I want to say to you theyr the best fruit that grows. You don't want no punkms nigh your wortermelon vines 'Cause, some-way another, they 'II spike your melons, shore; I've seen 'em taste like punkins,from ! core to rines, ; Which may be a f act you havt heerd I of before. But your melons that's raised right and ten(je(j to with care, you can walk around amongst 'em with a parent's pride and joy Anj tlump them on the heads with ag fatherly a ajr As each cne of them was your little girl er boy. ;t ,-ov jn my hart just to hear that rippin' sound When you split one down the back and jolt the halves in two, And the friends you love the best is gathered all round And you says unto your sweetheart, 'Oh, here's the core for you?" And I like to slice 'em up in big pieces fer 'em all, Especially the children, and watch theyr high delight As one by one the rines with the 1 pink notches falls, And they holler fer some more, with unquenched appetite. Boys take to it natchurl, and I like to see 'em eat A slice of wortermelon's like a French harp in theyr hands, And when they "saw" it, through theyr mouth, such music can't be beat 'Cause it's music both the sperit and the stummick understands. Oh! they's more in wortermelons than the purty-colored meat, And the overbowin' sweetness of the worter squashed betwixt The up'ard and the down'ard motion's of a feller's teeth, And it's the taste of ripe old age. and juicy childhood mixed. Fer I never taste a melon but my thoughts flies away To the" summertime of youth; and . again I see the dawn, And the fading afternoon of the long LARGE DOVER CROP. Raleigh, August 13th Notwith standing the unusual high prices of the seed of clovers; vetch and small grain the planting of the largest acre age of winter cover crops ever planted in North Carolina is being freely pre dicted for the coming fall. The farmers of the State are com ing to a realization of the importance of conserving the fertility of the soil and of the value of green manures, and the present high prices of ferti lizers and farm products are responsi ble f 01 the prospective increased acre a2?3 of legumes and other cover crops This increase is being urged by the Department of Agriculture, the Agri cultural Extension Service, State Food Conservation Commission and by all forces working for a better system of farming and increased crop produc tion in the State. All winter legumes used for cover crops or for hay require lime, tna quality depending upon the condition of -the soil and also upen the crop planted. It is practically useless to plant the winter legumes upon soil that has not been limed. For the pasr two or three years the farmers of the State have been able to secure lime through the Department of Agricul ture at a much lower rate than from the commercial lime companies. Th3 Department this year however has not been able to renew its contract on the old basis and has recently Ieasted 3 deposit of many acres near Bridgeport Tenn. A crushing plant with the ca pacity of 100 tons per day is to be es tablished there immediately and the limestone will be available to North Carolina farmers at the cost of pro duction, j It is estimated that there are 150,000,000 tons of limestone in the deposit at Bridgeport analyzing from 80 to 95 per cent calcium car bonate. Aside from its absolute necessity for most legumes, lime is recognized a. beneficial to practically all types of soil in this State, its addition making more available the potash and other fertilizing ingredients in the soil and promoting bacterial activity. It has also a perceptible influence on the me chanical cendition. of the soilr tending to make more porous and friable the stiger 'clay soils and to compact the loose sandy soils. It was the first case ever tried m Stony Gulch and the jury had sat for hours arguing and disputing. At last tney straggled back, and the fore man, a tall mountaineer, expressed the general opmion. "We den'i think' he did it," ho said, slowly, "forve allow he wa'n't there; but we think he would ef he'd had the chanst." The valor and candid simplicity of the Indian baboo is proverbial. Tho(iod, and will amply repay lor tne Nairobi Leader tells a story of cne who played a part in the German East Africa campaign, a laconic, com petent and deadly earnest station mas ter who evidently regarded himself as an infallible marksman as welV A. regiment of .men like him would ena the war, if or this is the wire he sent: "One hundred Germans attacking station. Send immediately one rifle and one hundred rounds ammunition." 8 fc ir . Northern . visitor ; (in Georgia) : "I see you raise hogs almost exclusively about here. Do you find they pay better than corn and potatoes?" Na tive (slowly): "Wai, no; but yer see, stranger, hogs den't need hoeing." NEW MEMBERS New Red Cross members are: ;Mr. John Dameron, Jr., Mr. II. F. Jones, Mrs. William P. Rodgers, Mrs. Hugh White, Mrs. T. J. Holt, Master Hugh Holt, Miss Philena Macon. And the dusk and the dew afaliln and the night acomin' on. And there's the corn around us, and the lispin' leaves and trees, And the stars apeekin' down on us as 'still as silver mice, And us boys in the wortermelons on . our hands and knees, And the new moon hangin' o'er us like a yeller-cored slice. Oh! it's wartermelon time acomin' 'round again, And they ain't no man alivin' any tickelder'n me, Fer the way I hanker after worter melons is a sin Which is the why and wharefore, as you can plainly see. James Whitcomb Riley. NEW ENTERPRISE. xS twuLOii gin ana grist mm is 1 it. m ' . depot North Wanton by Mr w A. Dameron of this tcZ ' This gin will be in a brick .gin house, 28 x 32 with concrete floor, and will be an air blast gin. It Is to contain four 80-saw stands, each equipped with 12-inch saws, and is to be a ball bearing gin with auto matic feed and hydraulic press with automatic self tramper. The gin Is to be . driven by a 75 horsepower mo tor, and has a capacity of ginning a bale every 8 to 10 minutes. Three buildings are in erection upon the lot beyond the depot, the brick gin house 28 x 52; a seed house 24 x 100, also containing a storage room, p-nd a grist mill; and the third house a 24 x 32 cotton house. These buildings are being rapidly constructed, and everything points to their early completion. FATTEN THE BIRDS BEFORE MARKETING West Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 13 It is a bad practice to seo fowl 3 that are thin in flesh for table use. One of the workers in the Office Gf Poultry investigations has. recently had occa sion to travel over different sections of the State and has made notes on the kind of broiler meat being served by the different tables where his meals were taken. He recently attended a banquet at Charlotte, where broiled chicken was served as one of the courses. It was easily seen that the birds were not very fat when killed. They had either been sold from the farm without fattening for the mar ket, or had been held in the ecop and act properly fed until they had great ly lost weight. This same condition was found at the tables of two railway mating houses and other less preten tious tables The lessen to be learned from this, says Dr. B. F. Knapp, of the Animal Industry Division, is that no fowl should be marketed until it is well fad. To do this, the birds should be put in a slatted coop under a cool shed und fed equal parts cf peanut "meal, corn meal and ground oats mixed with twice the quanity of sour milk. These birds may then be sold as milk-fed broilers, or hens, as the case may be The mixture should be fed them for fourteen days, giving each bird just what it will clean up in fifteen min utes, and fed three times a day. No food should remain before them after the end of fifteen minutes. In this way the weight may be increased 20 . to 30 per cent during the feeding per- trouble. Ground velvet bean meal may be used in place of the oats and meat meal may be used in place of the pea nut meal. If the meat meal is used only 20 to .5 per cent should be put in the recommended mixture, Extension Farm News, MURBEER NEAR ELBERON A fatal shooting affair occurred near Elberon about 8:36 this morning. Willie Wyatt, after a warm contro versy with Simon Watson, shot him through the head, killing him instant ly. Both were negroes. Wyatt then turned his shot gun upon Watson's wife, and fired at her as she was taking refuge ufrder the bed. She was hit in the leg by sev eral shot, but was not seriously hurt. Sheriff Davis' with Messrs. E. L. Green and John Bell were promptly cn thT scene, birt as yet no news has been received of Watson's capture It is reported that after the shoot ing, he coolly reclothed himself and took to the woods. No well balanced agricultural leader will advocate the abandonment of com mercial fertilizers but all agreed thac the quanity of fertilizers used in this State can bd very largely decreased through the use c legume and lime, whilr- better, soil 'militions and better crops will result. State Agronomist las. L Burgvss estimates that this aving in commercial fertilizer could easi'v !e 13 percent or more. Ex pensive Nitrogen will be the principal element saved, the nitrogen stored by the legumes taking its place. In clay iSCib', tne addition 01 iuue aim uiuuus will make unnecessary the applica lion cf any potash as this type of soil contains potash which is made avail able by the bacterial activity result ing from the addition of humus and limestone to the soil. THINGS OF INTEREST. Tnof . t, , Koot reports to the President as ' n"10" ' whIe ifT " .f vfcicmiaawzi; report DOtn as XO IU- ture of the civil government and mil itary morale of the Government. Congress has passed the Food Con trol bill and Herbert C. Hoover will be the man of the hour. A man of financial ability large experience he serves the country without pay. Canadian draft bill passed. Will soon be law. 100,000 "men selected will soon be in training under the law. What is the I. W. W? It is said to be an organization entent on improv ing labor, without being particular about the means employed. A semi criminal organization. . Its workers whether in mining districts, or grain fields testify to its lawless character. Its business seems to be to cause strikes where more harm will be done and no good in prospect even to-the adjutators themselves- 9 Congressman Doughton is another advocate of the dawg tax. If a man owns a good -and useful dog he should be willing to pay the tax, but it would be the death of many worthless curs. So thinks the "Statesville Landmark," Ex-President T-ft seriously sick in Clay Centsr, Karnes, where he was on a lecturing tour, reported better. Suffragist persist in plche'.in? the White House. Banner inscribed r aiser Wilson was torn from them by a mob. The anto-suffragist could not-wnt a better argument against female suf frage than these fanatic self-imred demonstrators of incompetency and gaol. We are forg viving the intelli gent loyal women of the country any privilege they ask for but the pickets are a boomerange. . The Congress is discussing a p!n of, insurance of enlisted men. Introduc ed in the upper house by Senator Sim mons, paying the premiums in family allowances to dependents of rcn in the military or naval service, with indemsification for disabilities at gov ernment expense. sj. jQi sjc The average exemptions so far in dicate a failure to pass the health board of 25 per cent one in every four examined. Gen. Julian Carr has enter'; ! the fight against ,the Yaller Cur D Avg ' and in behalf of child education and sheep raising. He is not a candidate for office but has had cSise upon him. He serves without thrust 7 on the food commission. The cvemment has purchased 500,000 eans the price is said to be around $1.10 per doz. Last year there were 7,000,000 cases. The priv- Jate canners get the benefit of the price which would have been much higher from dealers. Now it is up to Mr. Hoover. He has Sc.d drastic measures will not be attempted until it is seen tho purpose f the administration cannot be ac complished through constructive co operation with food producing and distributing industries. We under stand the motive is to insure the best prices to the producer and the lowest practical to the consumer aid in transportation facilities, conserve perishable stuff and prevent wa3te. If these things are accomplished both producer and cornsumer are benefited. Now Company H. has a baseball club. Reports that there was opposition to the draft in North Carolina wera unfounded. Investigation shows that there was no truth in the report. Old North State never shirks! Federal Land Bank Bonds for sals $150,000 of these bonds bearing 4 1-2 percent interest are on the market. They are in denomination of $1,000, $500, $100, $50 and $25, and are offer ed at 101 1-2. In taking these bond3 which are reported guilt edge, you are helping our farmers, and hence helping the entire country. The Fed eral Land Bank is going to be the greatest help to the farmers which was ever known. The real friends of female suffrage are given a black eye by the display in Washington.
