THE ROXBORO COURIER. ROXBORO. N. C. SELL YOUR TOBACCO IN ROXBORO FOUR BIG WAREHOUSES Inoculate The Soil 'For Austrian Peas Like other legume, Austrian win ter peas must be supplied with' the proper nitrogen-gathering bac teria before they oan make satis-' factory growth. | "If the Austrian peas are planted In fields that lack theee bacteria the soil must be inoculated before j the seed are planted," declares Enos C. Blair, extension agrono-1 mist at State College. "The best1 way to do this Is to get a quantity at soil from a field where the peas ( have been successfully grown with-' in the last three or four ypars. If this Is-Impassible get soil from a , field that has grown either vetch , or English peas. Scrape off the dry;, uppers urface of the'soil anduse the nfict few inches for inoculating purposes. Keep the soil, so obtained away frotn direct sunlight and use' it as soon as ""possible. Apply it at the rate of about 300 pounds to the acre and harrow In immedi-1 ately." Probably a better way Is to sow . a mixture of seed and soil with' the grain drill using the fertilizer "box to hold the mixture, noia me thod usually insures a good crop even on very sandy soils. The second method Is to use about as much soli as seed. Mois te ntfte seed with' egu&l parts , of molasses and water and mix with soil from an inoculated field. The soil will stick to the seed fairly twell and if the seed are sown and 'covered a s soon as possible, good results are secured. This nfethod works best on clay soils but does not do so weU on sandy lands. The third method is to use a commercial culture and follow the directions on the container. Com mercial cultures may also be used with the soil inoculation but like the molasses method is not highly satisfactory on sandy soils. Blair points out also that one may first Inoculate one acre and grow his peas this winter and use sou from the acre to grow addi tional acres next season. Turtle Can't Swim After Drought Oklahoma City.?Another victim of the late Southwestern drought turned up today?a turtle that cant swim. Bert pitman, park employe, who1, caught a- 20-pound turtle 30 days I ago had put It in a zoo inclosure, J said: "The turtle apparently had nev er seen it rain before. It bit me| when I tried to teach it to swim.". Short Crop Growers May Sell Other's Growers of flu-cured tobacco in North Carolina who have signed adjustment contracts with the gov ernment and whose production in 1934 is less than their allotment, may, if they care to do so, sell the flue-cured tobacco grown by others contracting growers whose produc tion exceeds their allotment. "This administrative ruling was signed by I Secretary Wallace last week," says E. Y'r Floyd of State College, in clytrge of the tobacco' program in tms State. "Hie doeH sion was made when it was learned that in some sections, the product-1 tion will be well below the quaatl-; ty of tobacco allotted. Reports as to crop conditio^ from all sec tions Indicate tpa^ the total pro duction of contracting gtoweis will, be approximately 50 million pounds! below 80 percent of the base pro-; duction which will be the quantity, allotted to contracting growers and; is the Juantity for which tax-pay-j ment warrants could be issued. Thei most recent estimate of the crop is 528 million pounds." i Mr. ''Floyd points out any ar rangements made between con tracting growers to Utiliae allot ment cards other than their own for selling tobacco is purely a prl-| vate transaction. Contracting grow ers who produce In excess of their allotment win not be permitted to market this excess tobacco and pay the tax provided under the Kerr Smlth Tobacco Control Act but may arrange to sell this tobacco under another contracting grower's allot ment card. The non-contracting growers, un like contracting producers, may sell tobacco produced in excess of any allotment given them. If they pay the tax of 25 per cent of the' market value as provided in the Kerr-Smith Act. They will not,, however, be permitted to sell to bacco under the marketing card of a contracting grower, Floyd says. More About Babies Omaha, Neb.,?A newspaper edi tor, who apparently was confused, with the stork, received this note, in childish, scribble: "Dear Stork: "I wish to have a baby with brown hair, blue eyes, and I hope you send me a baby I like. Please send me a girl. "Sincerely yours,. "Josephine H." The letter was placed on file, o TRY THE COURIER WANT ADS Bocks Open Gates Who has not met the man whose f horizon hardly beyond his petty round of business and personal af fairs: intellectually he Is Insular, yet for breakfast he drinks coffee grown In Brazil and eats tout 1 made of wheat, the price of which' is controlled by experts and im-1 ports, and then rides to work on rubber produced in Malaya. "Oh yes" he will-say,, "some time when my ships comes in I'm going to see the woHd." But in the, meantime, denied the full loaf he j ignores the half wlflch .iff-this case Is that very excellent substitute for travel: reading. Everybody can take some time for reading. The late Theodore ?Roosevelt preached and lived the Stfenous' life, yet arbitrarily took ten 0r fifteen minutes each day -to read poetry. Poetry, he explained, | kept open the gates of his a war- ( eness to beauty. His example of? planned reading each day on a cer- j tain subject Is a good one 1? emu late. If the field selected lie fore-1 ign affairs, surprisingly quick re turns in understanding lnternation- | al problems now obscure are sure to follow. .Oldest Jexan Dies Temple, Texas, ?Mm. Amanda Bryant Fetterly, who lived ninety years under five flags, is dead. She was the oldest native Texan. Anticipated Demand For All Legume Seed' Indications are that there will I be a healthy demand for all ?ur plus legume seed which will be pro-J duoed In North Carolina this year. { During the past week. Dean I. O. J Schaub, head of the school at ag riculture at 8tate College, receiy-' ed a request from Missouri stat ing that farmers In that State, might wish to buy between 75,000 and 100,000 bushels of seed soy beans In this State this fall. Drought conditions in Missouri will leave th State with a short- [ age of soybeans for seeding next spring and "the director of exten- j slon, Prof. R. R. Thomasaon, Unl-' versity of Missouri, Is trying to lo-. cabs fe source *>( supply. Mfev. Thomasson said the wanted' the beans In fairly 'large lots and would want the name of Individual growers who might be contacted. I The Missouri farmers ore parti-, cularly interested in the Virginia.! Wilson, Haberlandt and Manchu varieties but If these cannot be ob tained, other varieties may be sub stituted. Buyers would be sent to North Carolina to find these beans for the Missouri farmers. Mr. -<SChaub turned the request over to Dr. Gordon K. Middleton, seed specialist .and asked him to handle the matter. Those who will have soybeans seed for sale of the varieties desired should get In j touch with Dr. Middleton so that, he might supply the Missouri grow1 N. & W. Educate Many Children Within a recent year, more than ? four million dollars, or more than 0 50 per ceift "of, -the total taxes of. the Norfolk and Western Railway, q were applied to the support of the c public schools along its lines and * paid for the schooling of more' than 45,000 children, according" to a i statement being published In news \ papers by the railroad.
