VOL. VIII.— THIS, MI UNO THE OTHER By MRS. THEO. Is. DAVIS —— | Some writer has advised that one | ■ ink at every Spring as it' knowing j he would be blind betore another to mes. And I have been trying it this ear. Looking at blossoms carefully 11 as to file away in mind their form: as well as their beauty; going out tor ee by moonlight the ghostly glory ot 1 plum trees in full bloom; watching for ellow jessamine along country roads; delighting in the sight ol a wide front v alk to a home outside town, where Id-fashioned verbena has already cat I eted with purple the borders on eith er side; putting in a mental corner made dark by disappointment the memory of the .glowing colors ot blue bird and cardinal. Try it, please; it is worthwhile. When you read articles on garden ing does' it irritate you to see how (usually experts can give directions' For instance: “It is well to clean at least one or two borders each week, so that your work may not tall behind. Os course it is. But to do it is an achievement not to be mentioned light ly. It means rushing out leaving breakfast dishes unwashed; pulling chickweed and creeping Charley and grass and weeds—you can’t dig much tor fear of killing tiny flowers that are sprouting from last year’s seeds-- worrying over mole„runs an ncx 1 in efficacy and is less dangerous Whatever vou do, don t try scalding which ruins furniture and does litth good, since the water cools so last that it seldom harms the pests tha' are hidden in crevices. It kills only the ones that are out and leaves the others a better chance. Last week some one remarked lr my hearing that she never believed the woman who said she had beer married for many years and had nev er been cross at her husband nor had to fight bed-bugs. If you move many times you are fairly sure to inherit bugs left by a former tenant; it’s nol yom fault, but it is your job to get rid of them, if you want any peaceful sleep. I’ve had three experiences with them; thanks to gasoline, the last wai was the soonest over. Notice! Stockholders! There will be a Stockholders meet- 1 ing of the Zebulon Building and Loan Association held m the Zebulon Ma sonic Lodge room on hriday, March ;;l. 1933, at 7:30 p. m. “Mike and Clarence" Did you ever hear of them? Well j they, aiong with Herman W hit lev, run ( or operate that chewing gum winner- j cold drink-gas-oil-ear repair shop on j the highway up-town. Whether it’s . your ear or you that’s empty, they, wd! fill either so full tha: you can g . happily for miles; or, if your car is, sick, even sick unto death that Dr Parker can make it ’most a new car j if not in looks, certainly in seiviee. They have built a fully equipped ga rage at the rear of their place with . every sort of auto service provided. ©he Zebulon Secorit ■ ■ I ■IWI Mil II ■■■ ii ■ ■ Important Meet For Farmers) j On Monday evening a large number of fanners from around Zebulon met at Wakelon school building to hear the report ot a special committee ap pointed sometime ago to get the best formula and the lowest competitive i price on a high-grade fertilizer to b> I bought jointly by the farmers. Th» 'committee.- made a partial it port hut since all the manufacturers win were expected to bid on the fertili zer had not yet sent in their bids, it wa agreed to wait a few days be- J'nve accepting any bid. Below we give the formulas submit i ted for bids. Farmers who expect to grow tobacco should read this in formation over carefully. It was work ed out by the committee with the help of the leading specialist of the Stat< Agricultural Board, and is believed to be the very best obtainable foi growing marketable tobacco. Read it over cm d idly Mr. Farmer. Formulas For Tobacco Fertilizers submitted to the manfactui ei s. Please quote prices on the follow ing formulas: 8-3-3 (State Tobacco Committee does not recommend an 8-3-3) 8-3-5; 8-4-6; 10-2-6 Phosphoric acid derived from super phosphate. Mineral ammonia 50 pei | cent. ‘■•Nitrate of soda. ‘j. Sulphate of ammonia Organic ammonia 50 per cent. i . cottonseed meal. 1-4 blood or high grade animal tankage with pro tein 55 to 60 per cunt. 1-4 genuine l’ciuvian Guano oi fish meal. : Potash. 1-3 high grade nuriate of potash a"alyzing 50 per cent, 2-3 sulphate ol ■p< tash magnesia or sulphate ol pot i ash. - The materials in the mixture must :appear on the source tag in proper ! lions as given above. V it ei inis and f‘rtilizei mixtures , must be in a good drillable condition or they will not be accepted. On soils whe r e magne siu hi linn* has been used in the past two cr three veals, the sulphate of pot ash may be used. On soils where no j magnesium lime has been used. thi | sulphate of potash magnesia should be in the fertilizer. Ask for bids on above formulas containing 2-3 sulphate and also sul phate of potash mag icsia. Nearly 150 tons of fertilizer weii sul scribed for at the meeting. It is I hoped that every farmer around Zebu li n will come into the pool, foi by | doing so, the better price will he ob tainable owing to the greater amount Naturally it is expected that some | feitilizer salesman will along j with something “just as good” at r lower price. •Since the price in thi: instance was obtained by competitiv. bi.H from 100 to 1,000 tons, no deal er is likelv to or could meet the price with a high grade fertilizer. We advise the farmer to buy the best teitilize» at the best price, and that is what | the committee has to offer. No on. | makes o ,e cent profit. Th-» price offered may he a little 'over the cost of tin* fertilizer, owing to a small cos 1 of inspection and .1: 1 i ihution. but any surplus will be j divided p"*ong those buying accord j ing U) t.ii iiniiiagc bough, aftei th. : deliveries are made. A final meeting will he held_ at Wakelon next Monday night at 7:30 o’clock. Every farmer who will buy ' tobacco fertilizer is asked to be pres ent. Be ready to place your order for whatever ior’iliZio* you w b need rite commdtc is al o w .rking out a plan to get fertilizers foi other crops at the same advantageous price as for tobacco.

This will not be hard to do if we will lay aside all self interest and cooperate -work together. The first essential is a greater community spirit. If all of us la bur, not for our own selfish interests, but for the common good of all, we can make our community, ou* state, one of the best places in which to live. With a united community spirit we can do most anything -with out it. we can do but little. Many things w II be needed to make a greater community. Wc must have better country schools. Our la'm boys and girls, as well as our city boys and girls, must be given a square deal. All must be given ( pial educational opportunities. We must make our homes more homelike. Too often when a boy or a girl leaves home, there is something the matter with the home. A homelike home in the country will keep the boy and girl on the farm. When home ties are not just as strong as they should be, they are easily broken. Health is our greatest wealth. When our own health and th<* health of our family is poor, we are poor indeed. We must safeguard oui health. We must have better sanitation —more modern conven iences. These can he installed in any farm home at small expense. We must encourage home ownership. If we can help a man to own a home, even a modest cottage and a piece of ground, we will be doing a real service to our community and our state. Wo must see that every boy and girl owns something—a call, a lamb, a garden, or some crop. We must recognize his title to the pro perty. It must not be Willie’s pig and Dad’s hog. We must increase production efficiency and learn how to market, and one of the needful tilings in both of these is to build good roads. We can have these things if we really want them, but we must work for them- fight for them. We must work together town and country, men and women, boys and girls. - L. A.
