WHAT ABOUT THE WHJTEWAY7 BssUanta Want ths Whits Wsy In stalled Whfls ths Street Work is Underway. Many inquiries are being made about the proposed white way. The people are interested tn taat maiter and are anxious that the white way be installed. When the announce ment was made that the water and light board had decided to install a white way it was received wun maric- ed favor by a majority of reaidenta. Following the announcement the board began to consider plana for the equipment but to date have not awarded the contract. Thia de lay is causing many people to auk why the work of installing the white way is not undertaken at the same time ths street work is in progress. The Street is now in such a condition that 'whatever other work is started would interfere very little with traf fic, as it is almost impossible to tra vel it now. However, if the instal lation of the white way ia delayed until the street work is completed and then a new force of hands is put to work on the white way the , pa tience of the travelers, which is at present severely waxed, will likely become exhausted. : The board has decided to have the white way and the quicker Concord gets ont of the lightning bug class of towns the better.

Planning for Work Ahead. x Progressive Farmer, -j. ;" "As this is read tbe active season so fat as the production of our' staple crops is concerned, will be drawing to a: close. It is true that some culti vation still remains to be done; but at most the farmer can do. little more henceforth -toward making the crop. If the present outlook is poor, if stands are bad, and if unfavorable weather conditions .appear to have cut the ' yields, we believe in many eases the trouble may largely be at. tributed to a lack of vegetable matter humus in the land to a lack adequate preparation. .- Now that the less' strenuous days are here and. we have some time to look about us and plan the next year's work, the prog ressive r farmer;" will .' begin to seek some way of avoiding a- repetition of tbe losses sustained this year. .: Right now one of the most profit able bits of planning any. farmer can do is to arrange to plant some clover this fall. If a small patch was grown last year the acreage this fall should be' increased, and if none has hither to been grown, by all means a small patch.- should be planted,. . Bear in mind : that here we. have reference particularly to bur and erimBon clov ers, two great winter soil builders that have proved successful on" prac tically e" y well, drained soil type in ti e South.; We want to emphasise too, the importance of getting cloVer seed early, as it seems almost certain now that the demand will far outrun the supply. : -: ;;; :. .','...' - We are' here emphasising this mat ter of cover crop of clover because, we have, often said before, it is only the farmer with a rich, clover-cover ed.. bumus-filled soil thst is ever to wake anything farming. These cov er crops offer- such a cheap and splended means of filling the soil with fertility that we believe no man is realizing on hia opportunities - who fails . to grow them.
