Cover Crops frevent Erosion Warrenton, Sept. 28th Tobacco growers everywhere have begun to feel the effects of an .overproduction of tobacco, in the low prices they are receiving for the crop The special ized tobacco growers feels the effect much more than the farmers who have habitually grown plenty of hay and corn. , The farmer who refuses to grow his corn and hay is more de pendent on his merchant and his banker, than is the farmer who grows these crops The specialized tobacco farmer, not only owes for his fertilizer, but he also owes for his feed, for which he was compelld to pay an enormous price this year. Will the tobacco growers profit by their experience ? Tobacco is selling for a very unsat isfactory price now. I, therefore, urge that all farmers who can possibly hold their creditors off for a while, to leave their tobacco alone and devote the next six weeks to picking cotton and sowing winter cover crops and constructing terraces on all fields that are subject t erosion. Now while te tbacco is going so cheap is an opportune time to sow your win ter cover crops, for the purpose of soil protection during the winter, for the improvement of soils by green manuring, and for the produc tion of hay and pasture for next spring and summer. I wish to urge all farmers to sow as much crimson clover as - possible in the next few days. After the clover is sowed the fall oat crop should be put in as soon as the. land can rbe prepared, and I urge that the farmer sow plenty of oat3 to avoid buyig any next year. Oats and vetch sown together on good land will make a splendid hay that should take the place of thousands of bales of western hay sold in the coun ty every year. Hairy vetch and Ap pier oats sown together will make a hay far superior to any that comes here from ther states if properly cur ed. Rye is anothe good winter cover crop that ' is popular - among tobacco growers. Plant these other crops but don't neglect the rye. Wheat can be sown some what later in the season. The proper time to sow wheat in this country to avoid the. Hessian Fly is during the latter half of October, and then sow a few acres of wheat on a thoroughly prepared seed bed in order to make enough flour for home use. Crimson clover like other legumes will give better results if a ton or more lime be applied to each acre. Better results will be obtained from any of the winter cover crops if acid phospate be used at the rate of about two hundred pounds to the acre. For wheat and oats one hundred to two hundred pounds of nitrate of soda should be applied next spring as a top dressing to each acre. If you have any land that washes badly, the washing can be largely prevented by the use of properly con - HAOOANN-VHrnK', tVA BOSS JEST OOT-C 'f ; ENCUOSCO FtlMO CHECK FOB.

The Secretary of te North Carolina Good Roads Association, Miss H. M. Ber ry, in order tQ make the Association's program for securing a State System of hard surfaced roads connecting county seats ' and other principal towns of the State as concrete as pos sible, has compiled the following fig ures' relating to the cost of and the possible benefits to be derived from such a transportation system? It is realized that it is well nigh impos sible to enumerate the benefits that would accrue from such a public im provement as this, but the figures given below are at least suggestive. The Cost It will cost from $100,00,00 to $150,- ' 000,000 to buld a State System of 5,500 miles, the mileage necessary to connect all county seats and princi pal towns of the State. North Car- olina with her large territory and.xrail of settlers which always follow compartively small population, can- good roads; the increased inducement not afford to finance this tremendous undertaking" entirely through current (revenue, but, by taking care of what RED CROSS Poland 5"i?Vf '.-3 ... J Vrt. ! we can ow and spreading the balance i over a number- of years, itwill work ( no hardship on this or the coming , generation. To maintain the entire ! State System will cost approximately ' a million to a million and a half a year. With the construction of more mileage of hard surfaced roads; the ' maintenance cost will undoubtedly be 1 reduced. j The proposed State System of 5,- i 500 miles, connecting county seats iis?'!''' i jJxiriiiiciLdy ou pel cent Ul Uli Illgxi- J V 1 Sf 1 A .1 way iramc ana per cent oi tne motor traffic, as most motor,' vehicles are users of inter-county or State highways.

A series of experiments have shown that it takes twice as much gasoline for a 2-ton truck to go over a good earth road as it does over a good brick road and three times as much as it does to go over a concrete or other smooth hard surfaced road. The same proportion would hold for other motor vehicles. According to these tests a State system of hard surfaced roads would reduce our gasoline bill by at least one-third. Last year "Hons of gasoline, which, at 36c. per ' gallon would amount to $17,708,815. One-third of this amount is $5,902, 938 or the amount hard surfaced roads would save in gasoline each year. In other words," the saving in gas oline alone would pay for the con? struction of the entire State system in 20 years. " No tests have been made showing the possible saving a State system of hard surfaced roads would effect in repairs, tires, and other accessor ies but from common observation all agree that it would total several mil lion dollars. Tractive resistance tests conducted by the Ohio State College have shown that a 2-ton truck will maintain an average speed four times as great on hard surfaced roads as on dirt roads. According to these tests, we now spend four times as much time in making a trip by truck as we would if we had hard roads. In other words the present system of roads impairs the .efficiency of trucks by about 400 per cent no mean consideration when we think of ;.the increasing use of the truck for commercial purposes. Our farms are being depopulated and the products of the farm curtail ed through inadequate transporta tion facilities. With - well built and well maintained highways, farm life would be more attractive, the farmer could more readily market his farm products, thus saving much material which would otherwise go to waste.

Both have to do with the greatness of the Anglo-Saxon Blood its leadership of the World; its love for law, for order, for liberty. The first is taken from an 'article by Lady Nancy Astory a member of the House of Commons, England. In an article in the Womans Home Com panion writing of the duty of women in regard to the ballot, as her duty bears upon the great question of the League of Nations she says: "It is very easy for those in Eu rpean countries next door to the dis tricts where children rae dying daily of starvation, neglect and brutality to feel some disappointment with America's withdrawal from the com mon responsibility of humanity and civilization." . Do you get the thought "America's withdrawal from the common respon sibility of humanity and civilization?" Lady Astor was one of the Lang home beauties of Virginia and the wife of Viscount Astor and the moth er of a large and interesting family of young children. The other thought comes from Kip ling, we presume, though the author of the lines is not given. But you can picture a hot fight against overwhelm ing odds and the Regiment blind with dust and smoke, But the Anglo Saxon blood fights on though "The River of Death has brimmed his banks" on to Victory. "The sand of the desert is sodden red; Red with the wreck of a square tha. broke; -The gatling's jammed and the Colonel dead, And the Regiment blindwith dust and smoke; The River of Death has brimmed his banks; 1- And England's far. and Honor's a name. But the voice of a school boy rallies the ranks ..- - Play up! Play up! and Play the Game!" A voice of a school boy rallies thw ranks Play up! Play up! and play the Game! It's in the blood. Where Did He Learn? "Murphy," snapped the desk lieu tenant to the new patrolman. "I hear there's a big crap game going on down the block. Go out and break it up." The new cop vanished, reappearing in half an hour. "Welt," asked ;his Superior, 'did you put a stop to it?" "I sure did," returned Murphy, pat ting a bulging pocket. "I. only had two bucks on me but I broke up that game inside of twenty minutes." American Legidn weekly.

Refers To His Re ply last Year Washington, Sept.' 28. President Wilson took his rfirst active part to day in the presidential campaign. He had Secretary write the first of a series of documents regarding the League of Nations and other public questions which it is proposed to issue from the White House to further the candidacy of Governor Cox. The -document was in the form of a j letter o E. M. Swartz, of Los Ange les, discussing the League of Nations covenant in relation to the Irish question. Mr. Swartz has writtefi the President ' that some Republicans contended that if the League covenant was ratified with Article Ten in h, this country "would be bound to sup port England in holding Ireland un der subjection." In his letter of reply Mr. Tumulty called attention tov certain questions and answers with reference to Article Ten, and the question of self-determination which were made public by the President while he Was on his Wes tern tour in the interest of the League a year ago. - The letter to Mr. Swartz follows: "In reply to your letter of the 20th of September, I beg to say that the identical question contained in your letter, with reference to Article Ten and the right of self-determination, found in the covenant of the League of Nations, were placed before the President while he was on his wes tern trip last year and fully answered by him. The President directs me to call your attention to the following questions and answers given by him to the press at that time which I think satisfactorily answers our in quires. The questions and answers are as follows: "Q. Under the covenant does the nation obligate itself to assist any member of the League in putting down a rebellion of its subjects or conquered" peoples. "A. It does not. "Q. Under the covenant can this nation independently recognize a gov ernment whose peoples seek to achieve or have achieved their inde pendence from a member of the League? "A The independent action of the government of the United States in a matter of this kind is in no ways limited or affected by the covenant of the League of Nations. "Q Under the covenant are those subject nations or peoples only that are mentioned in the peace treaty en titled to the right of self-determination or does the League possess the right to accord ja similar privilege to other subject nations or people. "A It is not possible for the peace conference to act with regard to the self-determination of any territories except those which had belonged to the defeated empires, but in the cove nant of the League of Nations it has set up for the first time in Article Elevena forum to which all claims of self-determination which are likely to distrub the peace of the world or the good understanding between nations upon which the peace of the world de pends, can be brought. "Q Why was the case of Ireland not heard at the peace conference? And what is your opinion on the sub ject of self-determination of Ireland? "A Hhe case of Ireland was not heard at the peace conference because the peace conference had no jurisdic tion over any question of that sort which did not affect territories which belonged to the defeated empires. My position on the subject of self-determination for Ireland is expressed in Ar ticle Eleven of the covenant in which may say I was particularly interest ed, because it seemed to . me neces sary for the peace and freedom of the world that a forum should be created to which all peoples could bring any matter which was. likely to affect the peace and freedom of the world."
