Seaboaid MK LINE RAILWAY By El H. Garrison County Agent Results from small grain demon strations checked so far reveal the fact that Moore county’s small grain crop this year is a bumper one. B. F. Powers near High Falls, threshed 88 1-2 bushels of wheat from two acres of land last Thursday. After this wheat had been measured up a group of these men decided that they would weigh some of the grain to see how measure and weight compar ed. They weighed three bushels of the grain, finding that two of the measured bushels weighed sixty- eight pounds each and that the third one weighed sixty-nine pounds. Had all the wheat been weighed instead of measured from the thresher it would have been a little over ninety-nine bushels instead of eighty-eight and one half. So far as I know, this is a record for this county and perhaps one that not many of the other North Carolina counties can excel. This piece of land had been limed and followed with lespedeza. I am sorry that a good many of the others in that sec tion had not threshed as there are many more good ones to 'be reported yet. W. C. Garner, near Acorn Ridge School house, threshed 254 bushels of barley from 6 acres of land. This piece of land had been in lespedeza but was followed with corn last y'rar. Owing to the fact that he did not get any stand of corn, he did not make such a record yield of corn but the barley has told the story this year. Mr. Garner has all his grain land in a good crop of lespedeza now and says that he is sold on this legume as a cover crop, along with some form of nitrate for a top dresser. Mr. Gar ner was a pioneer in this work, he havnig bought the first seed pan in the county to harvest seed and so far as I have any record he bought the first bag of lespedeza seed ever ship ped into Moore county. Increases Yield Fuller Monroe, near Eagle Springs, was threshing his wheat when I was there last Tuesday. Two years ago, he reports, from a field of four acres of land he threshed 32 bushels of Pinehurst 2-Up Their Names Are “Jim” Vail and “Bill” Sledge and They Just Arrived Pinehurst’s population has in creased by two stalwart sons since a week ago. The Kiwanis Club has two prospective new members, the Sandhills two potential golf cham pions. To get down to brass tacks, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Vail and Mr. and Mrs. I. C. Sledge are the proud parents of sons. James H. Vail was born last Friday, July 17th, and William Cyrus Sledge arrived Sun day the 19th. All concerned are doing well.

During the sweltering heat of the whole country it has been a satisfaction that the Sandhills section has at no time been uncomfortable. The thermometer has at times been almost as high as in some of the Northern states, but the dry air in the sandy belt has offset the absolute temper ature. On the pronounced heights like Wey mouth the gently moving dry air neutral izes the temperature, and the forest-cov ered summits shade the landscape. The middle of summer is not objectionable in the Sandhills while the winter, fall and spring are incomparable. Probably no place on earth is more de sirable the year through for a home loca tion than the Weymouth hills of South- N em Pines. s. B. RICHARDSON Real Estate Southern Pines. North Carolina wheat. Last year with 200 pounds of 10-0-2 per acre he made twenty bushels on the four acres. This year from three acres of this land which had been in lespedeza one year, and with the application of 70 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre he got 55 1-2 bushels of wheat or 18 1-2 bushels per acre. This is a little more than twice the county average. Mr. Monroe says that lesdedeza did it. Jesse Page of Eagle Springs made 196 bushels of wheat on 14 acres of land. This is twice the county aver age and on rather thin sandy land at that. There are many people who in sist that wheat will not grow on sandy soil, but Mr. Page has proven that it can be done. We alLadmit that it does not do as well as on some of our typical grain land, but still I think it is a worthwhile undertaking. From his grain crop of 280 acres, all but about 20 acres of this is in a cover crop of some kind, most of which will go back to the land for soil improvement. Mr. Page is a firm be liever in this type of work and also takes a great interest in passing along to his neighbors any informa tion which he has been able to gath er in his farming orepations. He was one of the first to advocate home gar dens and the use of more home grown products on the farms of Moore county. Sheriff L. A. Kelly reports sowing 2 3-4 bushels of wheat and threshing 33 1-4 bushels .Sheriff Kelly is a great believer in soil building and each year plants a good acreage in soy beans, vetch, etc. He has shown with this farm what can be done in the way of soil improvement and has demonstrated the fact that it does not pay to farm poor land. LAKEVIEW An event of much interest in this section was the reunion of Clan Blue held in Lakeview on Sunday, with a sumptuous picnic dinner in the pine grove. Members and branches of this family came from far and wide to at tend this annually recurring event of much value in welding together a family and its traditions in an age when family spirit is so easily lost in the mad rush of this speed-crazed age. The principal address of the oc casion was made by Dr. A. C. Be- thune of Raeford in which he traced the ancestors of the Blue family from long before they left Scotland down to the present time. There was also a short talk by John R. McQueen. Friends of Frank Coore, who was painfully injured when he lost con trol of his truck near Cameron Sun day morning, will be glad to know that he is getting along as well as could be expected.

C. \ou'll call Pontiac the happy medium ... quality you won’t do without, at a cost you can easily pay ^ II; ^n’i; difficuli: to learn what most pr >ple want in a motor car. We all Vint pretty much the same fine 'lualities—and we want them at a moderate price. You will find this combination in the Pontiac — that fine General Motors car. Thus, If it’s a damp day when you first drive a Pontiac you will notice how snug and dry It is inside. The same with heat, cold and traffic noise—because Pontiac’s fine Fisher bodies are tightly insulated. Appreciating the comfortable seats, you will remark also the absence of road shocks. This Is due to hydrau lic shock absorbers and rubber cushioning at 43 points In the chassis. When you first step inside *-he Pontiac you wnll see something un usual—genuine mohair or whipcord upholstery in the closed cars; fin« leathers in open models. Even though you feel that most cars have satisfactory engines, you will be surprised at the smoothness with which Pontiac’s engine does its work. As you drive you will admirci the quick pick-up and power of that big, easy-working motor. Good looks? Smartness? We can leave the proof to remarks you will hear and the approving glances you will see! (Bodies by Fisher.) Possibly we are prejudiced — yet owners praise this car more than we would dare to. The values they have discovered will be clear to you once you have driven the Pontiac. Why not do that! Any Oakland-Pontlac dealer will arrange a demonstration. 3 mmi PONTIAC *798 MAKING NEW FRIENDS AND KEEPING THE OLO delivered Two-door Sedan or Coupe, equipped and delivered in Aberdeen, $798.00.
