Walker, who. has charge of enforcing the parking ordinances There are few matters which arc so preplexing as the mat ter ot* parking. Hardly a town or city but what this troublesome ques tion is requiring the best thought possible and still, no relief has been found. A few weeks since the Town published some parking laws and asked the cooperation of the public. It - is true, more leniency is ex pected for the out-of-town man the country man. but. when they are notified that certain things ;are against- the laws, they are expected to heed same. When a law is violated it docs not help matters for the town man? who expects in some way- to be benefitted, to rake sides and irgue that thus and S6 should be done in that particular case". are made for all. not fdr. one.

Heavy Yields Of Corn Can Be Produced Mr. Joe Burch Working To ward The 100 Bushela Per Acre Class USES SELECTED CORN Many farmers' are fust mating twenty bushels of corn per acre, and many less, a yield that barely p?s? the labor charges the rent on the land and . an allowance of fifty cents a day for team hire in matting the crop. When the yield is 25 bushels per acre. there U a profit of 5 htiih els per acre fbr the time and other investments put on the land. Many farmers seem, to be satisfied with a low yield of corn if we are to judge practiced on some of the farms and judge by the' emptiness of some of the corn cribs ^ Someone has said that they would rather see their corn cribs bvrsf down from a bountiful harvest rath er than have them blow down from bare emptiness All would rather see this but too many are not will ing to pay the price for a full ccBa ? bill trust ? to . lucK and other method* of having plenty of corn for man anil beas? on the farm. In the rounds over the County tills ? iwjm n.-v :vji\U ^ nu not "believe in twenty bushels of c^rfi per acre and has sbt about a system cf farm management on the land that will make it produce more than the average of Just 12 bushels of corn.

ThiS man is Mr. Joe Burch of Rox boro. route 5. who has a field of- 16 acres in corn that he is confidently expecting 225 barrels from at harvest time and the com is about madte. This would be a yield of about bushel* per. acre but suppose that ii does not make Quite thi& It does not maTe quite thi^'tnxfflH^PP makes only 50 bushels per. acre, this will be far. very' far. ahead of the &vera7er yield of t he County. And if 19 bushed or corn is the average for the County it qoos to say that there are many who mak? less than t'nis amoun' at a great loss to themselves and the teams employed in the work ing of the land. : This field was cleared 16 years ago and has been run in a crop rotation cf corn, wheat a,rid clover, and one time was in a pasture a Short while. Mr. purch finds that this three or iour year crop rotation fits' in well lor the improvement of the soil. The land **a<i prepared well this spring and 200 pounds of 8-2-2 fertilizer waa applied per acre Hp has two rid ing cultivators which were used in cultivating the corn and only 3 1-2 cay's work was spent on thie entire 1 16' acres after. lt came up.
