NO. 10 TOWNSHIP Farmers have made good use of tbe fine • spring weather of the past few weeks. , More plowing has been done in March : this year than has been done in the same month for a number of years, which means, unlees the unforeseen arises, the crops will be planted much earlier this . year than last. " Most of the folks who have been sick ' of influenza have recovered. The friend 6 of J. P. Biggere, who has ’ been very sick for several weeks, are glad to see him out again. ' J. P. Wilson and Company have op ened up a stock of general merchandise on the Charlotte-Albemarle highway near > the crossing of the old Coneord-Monroe ■ road. The schools of the township are plan < ning good entertainments for their close. ■ We hope a good report from all of them 1 commencement day. Sam Black has the sympathy of the I entire community in the burning down of his dwelling which occurred last Fri • day morning about 4 o’clock. Mr. Black was awakened by smoke and the cracking • of flame and by the time he discovered > his house was burning the flames had 1 made such,headway that he had to make 5 a hasty exit. With the exception of i a snit of clothes and a small trunk hie { entire personal effects were burned, be • sides some silver coins, several checks > and between SSO and S6O in currency i were burned. So, also were the personal effect of J. N.: McEachern,, a bachelor friend, who has lived with Mr. Black for several years, burned. Mr. McEach ; era was pot at ljome, having left tbe daj ' before to spend the night with- his sis ter. The house was a two-story struc , tune built of logs and weatherboarded and , ceiled and was built in the year of 1822. and was insured in the Farmers’’ Mutual for a small amount. Mr. Black atri | butes the origin of tbe fire to rate and matches or to pet squirrels which were numerous in the grove that surrounded ’ his home, as they often could be seen ' scailing the walls or scampering on the root H. Better Gttffcns. The first of the year a campaign was 1 launched by the Horticultural Depart ■ ment of the atat* to further the growing of better, longer term gardens. It is a known fact that tbe eating of • fresh vegetables is conducive to health. Leafy vegetables are especially rich in > minerals, and fine for the human system. • Look at tbe horse and the cow, how well r nourished they are upon cereals and leafy i crops «!««« Bating more fresh and leafy vegeta • bles usually brings a renewal of health i and strength. Especially is this the case Let nature tone up your system with her free pure air and fresh greens, amuud-j antiy ready. This garden project is not a difficult • thing at all. On the reverse side of your score card, you will notice a blank square for tbe entrance of the number of times you ser ved the listed vegetables. Hang the card at a convenient place upon the wall of your kitchen. It is then an easy matter to enter a small mark—l—upon the card while preparing the vegetables, two a day, one a leafy. At the end of .Tannery, 1926 these j marks can easily be added together. Be j hold! your difficult problem has faded, as a mist before the sun. We do hope the fathers and mothers— home-makers—of the county will be thoughtful enough so see how the winning of this campaign for the eating of more fresh vegetables will help solve the prob lems of better health nnd longer life for themselves; more perfectly formed bod ies and good health for their children. Prizes, to the individual, of $25, and prizes of smaller amounts, will be given for the best gardens and reports at the * end of January, 1926. I The county Council securing the great est number of contestants will receive SIOO. Help your county to secure that I coveted SIOO. She could use it so wisely and well.

AREY War Declared on the Scrub Bull Is your bull raising or lowering the average production of your hSrd? This is a question to which every dairyman should I give serious thought. There is no profit in milk low producing cows and- the characteristic of high producing must be inherited. A cow is born with a certain natural ability to produce milk. The ex tent of this ability depends upon her breeding and there is no method of feed ing or management that will bring about high production in a cow thnt does not have an inherited tendency for high pro duct ion. One-half or more of the characteristics of your future herd will be inherited from the sire, therefore the herds’ capacity for milk and fat production will be raised or lowered according to the ability of this animal to transmit this characteristic. A few poor cows will «o little perma nent damage to the herd, but a poor bull will do untild damage. Th : s fact has been clenrly demonstrated in the daugh ters of a Jersey bull used in the Univer sity of Missouri’s herd. Carefully kept records showed that their average fat production was 26 per cent, lower than that of. their dams. In Hi is same herd the first five daughters of Sultan's Vir ginia Lad, another Jersey bull, averaged 511 pounds of fat as two-year-olds, while theier dams at tbe some age averaged 274. Coming home we have an example of in creased nnd more profitable production in the daughters of Eminent the 19th. Ten of his mature daughters in one year produced 7730 pounds of milk and 670 pounds of fat more than their dams of the same age. In view of the above facts it is difficult to understand why a farmer will invest in high priced land, buildings and cattle nnd then jeopardize his future income by using a poor bull. Tbe cost of the bull cannot be the explanation because in a herd of twenty grade cows the in vestment in the bull would not exceed one-tenth of that in the cows. Again the value of tbe increased production of the (laughters of a good bull over that of their dams in one year will often amount to more than the cost pf the bull. In spite of the fact that good bulls do increase production and thereby increase profits we have in use in North Carolina five grade and scrub bulls for each pure bred. Such a breeding practice is part ly responsible for the low average milk production of the North Carolina cow which is less than 3,000 pounds. The Extension force and the leading dairymen of the State have resolved that the scrub bull has done enough damage to our dairy industry and have declared war on him in the form of n State-wide Bet ter Sires campaign which began March Ist and will continue until September 1. Druing this time many special drives will be put. on by various county agents as sisted by local leaders and dairy exten sion specialists. This campaign represents a fundamen tal step in removing from (the dairy in dustry one of its greatest handicaps—low production—and should have the support of every citizen of the State because all are vitally interested either directly or indirectly in this industry. The January News Letter was not is sued because the dairy Extension men were in the field practically the entire month and did not have time to tabulate the reports. County Agent Altman says that the Gaston Cow Testing Association mem bers have unloaded their third oar of grain feed since January. These men are making a saving of $lO-S2O pec ton by mixing their graih feed at home. ' Thirty non-profitable cows have been sold by members of the Piedmont and Gaston-Mecklenburg Association since last June. Worm Spray. Reminder. .Ih r'egard t 6 the numerous, inquiries regarding spraying, will say that I have been keeping close wa’tch on the peaches and very few are done blooming. Owing to tie changeable weather they have bloomed in showers, some of the buds on tie same trees blooming before others, making it necessary to delay the spraying tp prevent wormy peaches. The following spray should be applied to the fruit and leaves during the next week or ten days beginning April 30 as most of the blooming will be over and the bees will have finished the pollination by that, time, 1 pound powdered arsenate of lead (2 pounds paste arsenate'of lead) to 56 gallons of water, and 3 pounds slack ed lime. * •This spray should be thrown in the blossom end of the peace before,they get tbe size of a lead pencil if possible, : in order to prevent the worm. Sprays for the Brown Rot will be ap. plied later as the fruit gets larger. Spraying to worm, in the apple will be done about a week later than the peach. White Wash Far Trees. To those who care to white wash their trees, the application of a plain lime white wash isn't more than worth the time it takes to put-lt on. But the fol lowing mixture wiU elean up the bodies of the trees but mast not be put on the leaves. ; • , One peck good stone lime slacked in 5 gallons of water. To this add 8 pounds lime sulphur spray, 1 pound table salt, to make it stick, and if you want to change the white color, add 1 pound of lamp black.

The gate hangers are made of flat iron, screwed to the .gate and bent over to slide easily on the mil.
