Most soils of the state are deficient in one or more of the plant food con stituents essential for successful crop production. Farmers having learned this, have developed into users of commercial fertilizers to meet these deficiencies. Notwithstanding the fact that fertilizers are used with as great care in this state probably as in any other section of the country, yet in almost every community, there might be some improvement made with profit to users if they knew a little more about the weak and strong points of their particular soils. The division of Agronomy of the State College and Department of Ag riculture is now prepared to render this service in a rather definite way. “The Division will largely form its judgment of the needs of a particular soil from the results of carefully con ducted experiments with different crops carried on through a number of years on several local farms and on the experimental farms of the College, where some of the soils are quite sim ilar to yours,” says C. B. Williams, chief of this Division^ “One of the workers of the Division was told by farmers of Union County at a field meeting recently that the results of a test conducted there this year will be worth tens of thousands of dollars to the cotton and corn growers of that section alone because of the more in telligent readjustment of their fertili zer formulas to better meet their soil needs. This and similar specific in formation with reference to the needs of North Carolina soils we have and can utilize to the advantage of farm ers of the State in making recom mendations with reference to the fer tilizer and other needs of their soils for the most profitable production of crops like cotton, tobacco and corn for next year.” Mr. Williams states that the infor mation is obtainable without price. All that is necessary for the farmer to do will be simply to draw a samp.e of his soil, according to instructions which will be supplied upon applica tion, and forward it prepaid to the Division of Agronomy, North Carolina Experiment Station, State College, Station, Raleigh, North Carolina. “Our workers are fully convinced that in many cases a material sav ing in the fertilizer bills of farmers can be made, or else mixtures recom mended may be expected to give larg er and more profitable yields,” says Mr. Williams. “The cost of fertili zers is one of the big cost items of crop production in this state, especial ly with cotton and tobacco. If the Division can help farmers of any com munity to effect a saving in their bills, or get better results for the same ex penditure for next year, it will be serving its purpose! “Those who expect to use fertilizers or lime of any kind next year and who are not fully satisfied with re sults secured in the past should avail themselves of this service. This di vision has, in all probability, more definite information with reference to the fertilizer and other needs of North Carolina soils and how to meet them than is available in any other southern state. KIWANIS CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS CO-OP DELIVERIES MAKE NEW RECORD Over Twelve Million Pounds Tobacco Received in One Week of At their regular luncheon , last Thursday evening in the Sandhill Fruit Growers’ building, the Kiwanis Club elected new officers for the com ing year. Ex-Congressman Robt. N. Page was elected president. Dr. W. C. Mudgett, the retiring president, was made pasi-president; E. L. Mc- Keithen, vice-president; D. I. Mc- Keithen, treasurer; Nelson Courtway, trustee; directors: J. R. McQueen, W. A. Way, S. B. Richardson, O. H. Stutts, C. A. Picquet, J. Talbot John son, and Leonard Tufts. ♦ * * The following are the Minutes of the Annual Meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Aberdeen, held in the Sandhill Fruit Growers’ Building, Aberdeen, Thursday, December 13, 1923, at 7 p. m.: A very delightful turkey dinner was served the members of the club by the ladies of Aberdeen, after which the president called the meeting to order and the secretary read the roll call. The minutes of the last annual meeting of the last annual meeting meeting were read and there being no corrections were approved by the president. Reports from the following com mittees were called for by the presi dent and presented to the club by the chairman of the various committees: Program and House, J.

A flood of deliveries that broke all records for the Tobacco Growers’ Co operative Association brought 12,819,- 802 pounds of tobacco to the co-opera tive warehouses in Virginia and the Carolinas last week. Delieveries of nearly nine million pounds of bright tobacco by the Old Belt co-ops taxed the capacity of the association ware houses to their limit in receiving the largest amount of tobacco yet deliver ed in a single week by the organized farmers of Virginia and Western Car olina. The Virginia dark-fired and sun- cured tobacco growers brought in more than two and three-quarter mil lion pounds to the association houses. Eastern North Carolina delivered more than a million pounds, and mem bers from the South Carolina belt still continued small deliveries at co-opera tive receiving points. The total receipts of the association for this season have now reached 115,- 000,000 pounds and are expected to go beyond those of last year’s deliveries to the time of the Christmas holidays even with much later season and later dates of opening for the association warehouses in all belts. The payment of three million dol lars which marks the third cash ad vance to members of the association who have delivered bright tobacco of the 1922 crop in Virginia and North Carolina will begin Friday, December 21st, at all co-operative receiving points of Eastern North Carolina. To bacco prices dropped from $30.72 for November 1922 to $23.24 for Novem ber 1923 on the auction floors of The club then proceeded to ballot for officers, Mr. Richardson first bring ing up the question of his being per mitted to cast a vote for Mr. Blox- ham who was absent. It was moved, seconded and voted to allow Mr. Richardson to cast this vote. It was also moved, seconded and voted that instead of balloting for each oifice or director that the club vote for all of ficers and directors in one ballot. The president appointed Shields Cameron, G. A. Charles, W. C. Powell and F. D. Shamberger as tellers. week’s news from the crop reporting service of North Carolina. Meanwhile the members of the tobacco associa tion are enjoying higher cash ad vances on all grades of tobacco de- live; ed this year than was paid them on last year’s crop. Several hundred new members joined the marketing association in December. All association warehouses will close for the holidays on Thursday, December 20th. There are other matters that should also be studied to have success with . - , ^ 4-u^ I the orchard, recommends Mr. Payne.

The secretary read communication from the Harding-Memorial Associa tion and letter from the N. C. Geo logical and Economic Survey. The tellers made a report of the ballots cast, which resulted in the election of the following officers and directors for the ensuing year: WHERE TO PLANT THE ORCHARD “Selection of the orchard site is a very important operation and should be given careful attention and study. It must be kept in mind that the site will affect the performance of the or chard throughout its entire life,” says R. F. Payne, Extension Horti culturist for the State College and Department of Agriculture. Mr. Payne states that the orchard should be planted on a slope that af fords good air and water drainage. as its success will be greatly influenc ed by these two factors. As warm air rises the cold air will collect in the low spots, which will tend to be come frost pockets in the spring. The danger of injury and loss of the crop on account of late frosts will be great er in these places. The land along the lower side of the orchard should not be in timber as the cold air will bank abainst the forest trees and so form frost pockets. Good water drainage is very essential, for fruit trees will not endure “wet feet.” Soil drainage is as necessary as surface drainage. a clay subsoil in order that the neces sary moisture can be supplied to the trees during the summer months. For the apple a good rule to follow is “Any soil that will produce a good crop of corn will produce good apples.” The peach will do well on sandy soils. Apples will grow on such soils but not so well as peaches. The orchard should be located near the house where it can be reached quickly and easily. If it can be seen each day, the operations that go to make up good management, such as pruning, spraying, fertilization, cul tivation, or borer control are less likely to be neglected. Also the gathering of the fruit for home use gene^*ally falls to the lot of the house wife; if the orchard is near the house it will save her many extra and un necessary steps. Miss Jessie Brooks has arrived from Meredith College, Raleigh, to spend the holidays with her mother, Mrs. George Brooks.
