H. Garrison, Jr., County Farm Agent Farmers this fall are urged sow all the cover crops that it is possi ble for them to get put in. With vet<!h this fall at 8 cents per pound, J have never seen a better time to get some of this started. Some of the ni^ost striking results from the use of cover crops are to be found on the farm of Walter McCaskill at Eureka and A. S. Speight at West End. Mr. McCaskill has a field of corn follow ing vetch which at this time is un- the cultures or bottled inoculations. Sunlight soon destroys the latter but I have yet to see the dirt inoculation fail to catch. A. S. Speight has corn following velvet beans which at this time has promise of being a good crop, and with K>nly 200 pounds of fertilizer un der around 2 acres of corn. He is a great believer in velvet beans and this year has a good crop of them in his corn field. This I think is one ot the greatest soil impr,oving crops that we can grow in the Sandhills. They will make some growth on practically any type of our sandy soils. There is no doubt about c,over crops being a paying proposition and s6me- thing that we are going to have to children of Kinston were guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Dutton the past week. Ralph Morgan of Chatham county wh(0 has spent several weeks in our villagiB returned to his hjome last Friday. Mrs. Jane Morgan is spending a few weeks with relatives in Chapel Hill and Durham.

Kelly of these parts have just returned from a few weeks’ tour through South Carolina and Georgia. Mr. Kelly saw some fine cr,ops in some sections, but in travel ing through a portion of Georgia for about a hundred miles the drought I had struck their corn and cottjon and the country was in bad shape and in many towns where the mills had shut down the people were merely living on charity. The following members of the class I were present: Mrs. Robert Hurst, 1 Ethel Douglas, Sade Badgett, Louise I Womack, Haywojod Snipes, Tom I Smith, Curry Spivey and Charlie I Smith; the class is composed of 18 I members. Guests were' John C. Fer- j giison of State College, Luther Wo mack and Robert Hurst. Pr<of. and Mrs. J. Clyde Kelly could not be present.

It seems that some of the guests became too bois terous and Headen endeavored to quell the row, and in the melee Cary Wom- ble was seri,ously beaten about the head with some blunt instrument; he was carried to Moore County Hospital where he is still in a very critical condition. Dock Headen was charged with the offense, and was arrested and carried to Carthage jail Sunday m^oming, where he is being held with- 'out bail. Headen \yas station-hand at the depot here.

Austrian Winter Peas are also very go^od as a cover crop but I do not feel that they are far enough ahead of our friend vetch for us to use peas in preference to vetch. I do not know of any crop this year that will make us an awful lot of money but with low prices of seed of different kinds it is certainly one of the best times I have seen in quite a while for a farmer to improve his soil. When things do get better he will at least have his soil in condi tion to make a good crop. After all it is not so much what you make per acre but the cost of the crop whch determines whether you are farming for a profit or at a loss. There are other farmers not mentioned all over the county who are following this practice of soil improvement and find ing it a good paying propsition. Try a few acres of these cover crops for next year and convince yourself that it is the thing* to do. whether our cr,ops are good or poor, g^ii for Athens, Greece, next September 5, 1931 From Aberdeen TO Tickets No. Days Limited Atlanta —5 $ 8.25 Chattanooga 6 $10.25 Birmingham 6 $10.25 New Orleans 10 $23.25 Savannah - - 7 $ 8,50 Jacksonville 8 $12.50 Tampa 12 $^.00 Miami 12 $22.50 Havana - 19 $47JJ5 Rates to many other Florida and Gulf Coast P<oints Attractive Optional Routes in Florida Stop-Overs Allowed at Jacksonville and all Florida Points.
