Tue Clip-Cut action Is so efficient In all crops that the uniquely spaced and braced .Clip-Cut guards work In any thing or on anything that can be machine-mowed. Lespedeza and soy beans don't bother them, nor does stony sou. And this mower is a laugh for the horse, for It's the lightest draft mower on the market. THIS SULKY DUMP RAKE is built for hard usage. Lis bridge-trussed frame prevents sagging and twisting. It dumps the hay the Instant that pressure Is applied to the dump pedaL Then the teeth drop immedi ately, so there Is no unraked strip next to the windrow.

R. Niswonger, entension horticul turist of N. C. State college. The largeht planting -in the state is to be found on the farm of J. M. Hartley of Linville in Avery county. Mr. Hartley has three acres of one and two-year-old plants of the Mastodon and Gem varieties, Aiswonger says. He expects to market a total of 5,(XX) quarts by fall from these plantings. An aver age of 2,000 quarts per . acre is normally harvested from, the first crop of the new planting. Some of the more vigorous hills will pro duce from 80 to 120 berries to the plant, and 48 of the.se will fill a quart cup. C, B. Baird, Avery county farm agent,' reports that everbearing strawberries are sold to tourists aifd local mountain . hotels at a price of 10 to 15 cents' per quart in the summer,' and 20 to 25 cents per quart in the fall. Niswonger : recommends that the everbearing berries be grown on new ground, which- should be cleared in the fall ..and burnt over to kill out forest weeds anl trash. The ground is . plowed in March and the plants set in April. Plants are secured from an old planting, which is never allower to remain more than two years. T.ht plants are set 12 inches apart in three- foot rows. All blossoms and new runner plants are pulled off until the first of June, and the fruit .for the late crop develops from August 1 to as late as the middle of October. The following year, the original planting produces berries for the early crop, beginning to ripen June 1, and extending into July. Jn this way, two crops a year are .har vested from the same planting. job," he declared. Dr. Schaub said that the nation al farm program Jias enabled farm ers to become better organized and more ready to work together than at any time in history. He also pointed out that, through the agricultural conservation program, the fertility of the soil .has been built upt to where the' necessities of war could be produced in great er quantities, with less time and expense. "Our extension organization was only three years old when the United States entered the first World War in 1917," Dr. Sohaub continued. "Yet, with limited per sonnel and experience, the farm and home agents and subject mat ter specialists provided efficient leadership in that great crisis. Farm and home demonstration work is now 26 years old, and we have an organization of trained agents, specialists and administra tors. Every county in the state is organized for extension work. "Many of the farm and Jiome agents, canning and clothing spe cialists, and others who directed emergency activities' of rural peo ple in 1917 and 1918, and again during the depression years, are still with the organization. They did their jobs efficiently then ; they have the confidence of the farm people, and are ready to lead again. "It will not be necessary to set up new services, or new organiza tions of fanners to carry on agri cultlre's part of the National de fense program."
