"Old Hurrygraph. out friend Jim Rtberson of the Durham Sun. sent us a marked copy of a recent issue of his paper, in which he told of a -??vir;k around the ber.d which h? made last Sunday. He told of the ' marr; beauties of various places, and simply mentioned the fact that ne 'passed through Roxboro. Well, we will forgive him this time, for our 'new jail has. not reached the point where it could well be described by a lisiting scribe, but next time he had tetter tarry long enough to say something about the good town of Roxboro.

Only those who get above tha aver .??-e m^t-hett" yields are able to make any profits on their years operations. There was never a time .when the .agricultural possibilities of the coun ty. were greater: there never.was a time when the agricultural potentiali ties of the county were more prom ising. Heavy yields on the individual farm at the least expense of making are the deciding factors bewteen pro fit and loss. Those who make forty bushels of corn per acre are in one class and those who make only 20 bushels are in another class, yet they can easily get it* that larger class by . diligent application of a few funda mental facts long since discovered by our experiment stations and by our leading farmers In the country. During the last nine years, consid erable attention has been-xievoted by the Department of Agronomy in de mising and conducting field experi ments for the purpose of studying, under farm conditions, the actual and relative value in crop yields by the use- of different systems of crop ro tation carried out on the dominant soil type area occurring in the Pied mont section of the. State!
