AVERAFE FOR WEEK $14.03
Last week was a bad. week for the
farmer, the weather was bad and
pfices were worse, but things look a
decided change for the better on
Monday, and Tuesday's sales were
equally as satisfying. Some of the
louses averaged better than $17.00
for sales the first of the week. Last
week sales' amounted to only 353 830
pounds, anjj-made an average of $14.03.
Of course, this is'too low, but if you
noticed reports from, thf other mar
kets you saw that prides were even
lower on a number of them than in
Koxboro.
The offerings have been of the
poorer grades and you really can not
tell Just what good tobacco is going
to do. but the general opinion is that
prices are going to get better right
along now. Any way, you can rest ;

If You Expect Good Fruit You
Must .Give The Tree Close
Attention
LAST CHANCE TO USE
PARADICHLOROBENZINE
By H. K. Sanders
Peach trees should be treated at
once for borers. Oct. 16th Is the
latent date recommended by the Ex
periment stalion for using paradichlo
rcbenzliie around the trees. This
lens named chemical when properly
applied according to directions will
kill the borers, thus preventing them
from eventually killing the tree.
Thes? borers at the base of the
tree will kill a tree in about three
years unless they are destroyed twice
a year... Thf - borers can',be dug out
by a careful hatid who will take pains
and look for the places carefully, but
this chemical will do the work easier
and by far better.
Level the ground around the base
of the tree and make a" small fing
about an inch wide and an inch from
the bark of the tree. APP'y one ounce
per tree four years old or older, and
for young trees three years old, ap
ply about half an ounce per tree. On
two yea*, old trees, do not try to use
; this medicine as it will likely kill
fh'e tree.
Pile dirt on the medicine Ave inches
high, gently tamp the dirt so. as not
to force the medtcJne against the
bark of the tree, and in. sflx weeks
take a hoe and tear down the mound
level with the ground. Next April,
repeat the treatment.

tions?Big. Race Ends TVw

Expires?-Get The Winning
Votes Now!
"They are going, to finish strong."
Here's why we think so: Reports from
the outside sections are to the effect
that the communities and towns are
getting behind their favorites tills
week, and urging them on to'greater
efforts and giving encouragement
with the support of their subscrip
tions. Again 'the added Cash Prize
for extra effort put forth this weeK
ls a great' inducement iilltl ID ttWJW-?
ciated by one and all alike. All are
anxious to come in for the Casta
Prize. Not alone for'the prize lWelf,
but for the knowledge that the extra
votes that will be secured on the
business turned in this week will go
a long ways toward placing their
names in the . ginning column when
the big count takes place.
S100 Extra Cash Priw.
If $100 in extra Cash Prize for
twelve day's extra effort isn't sufficient
inducement for one to. put one'? best
effort for a period twelve days noth
ing is. And remember if you were
the lucky Candidate on last week's
Extra Cash Prize of $30.00 given for
the Candidate who turned in the most
money for subscriptions for that week.
You" will have all the better chanc?
this week on winning the $100.00 Casta
Prize, if you put forth every effort
this week it is possible to win the
<100 Cash Prize in on? week's work.
One of the earn"st virkers will re
ceive that much for the shtort period
-f twelve days for securing the larg
est amount of imney for both new'
and old subscriptions. Not so bad Is
it? That Isn't a 11 either. Double
'he regular schedule of votes will be
credited upon all subscriptions that
are turned In this week, subscrip
tions hav-e^ two-fat-one value this
week.
Double Voles.
While the nuipbe*? of evtra votes
credited upon subscriptions is not a?
great as the preceding extra vote of
fers. tt is such that if a member exert*
himself or herself to the fullest ex
tent getting subscriptions and haw
them apply under the present Gtf&h
and Double Vote Offer, the additional
votes will place him right In line for
some of the very best things on the
list. One thing Is certain, with the
value of the prize I lift at such a high
figure and with the extra prise to
spur one on. it is needless to say that
one and all will make a determined
effort to outdistance all com petition
this week. 8ome perhaps have not
cared to show their real capacity for
getting subscriptions up. to this time.
These will leave no stojp unturned in
their quest for subscription* now
while their efforts will be rewarded
so bountifully. , s

After this present week. Just two
