That’s why we we say to you, go today to Broad Street Pharmacy and get a bottle of that famous, smooth, creamy, creosoted Emulsion known to pharmacists as Bronchu- line Emulsion. It’s a medicine for grown-ups for coughs that hang on and never seem to let go.

Get a bottle and enjoy a good night’s rest. gineering, forestry and agronomic practices with wildlife conservation, soil survey and erosion-control educa tion programs in the concerted ef fort to establish definitely erosion- control and land-use development upon the minds of the people of this state. The engineering department sur veys the boundary lines of all tarms in the area, lays out and supervises the construction of terraces and out let channels where needed, and other mechanical means of controlling ero sion, such as building structures for healing severe gullies. Soil specialists determine the type of soil on every farm, the degree of erosion and the slope of the land. Their findings are reported to the other departments which devise their programs to suit the conditions aa found by the soil specialists. For instance, the agron omy department must know the type of soil existing on the farms before they can determine what crop is best suited to the conditions present. Forestry practices of planting se verely eroded areas, road beautifica tion and gully planting is conducted where mechanical and agronomic methods of controlling erosion are unable to thwart rainwash. Labor by the CCC The actual manual labor employed in constructing terraces and other erosion control devices is done by the CCC boys. Besides that, the federal government furnishes vast supplies of seed, fertilizers and lime for the purpose of carrying out the prog ram. The farmer must agree to carry out the plans as drawn up between the representatives of the Soil Erosion Service and the farmer himself as long as the program is continued. There is a growing sentiment throughout the State of North Car olina for the extension of the Soil OBT A UfT WITH A CAMELl MASTER BUILDER.

When the grain crop is taken off the lespedeza is left there to grow. On the lighter sandy soils, velvet beans, soy beans and cow pesus may be used in the place of lespedeza. All By E. H.

As good an idea as I have seen is to plant the cover crop in six foot rows and put a row of peas or beans in the middles. This does not hurt the yield of com but is quite a factor in building up soil. I am proud to say that there is a good bit of this being done in the program of cover crops and some pas- er crops and also the money with which to provide the seed. We have made good progress with our cam paign for lespedeza in the county but we have a long way to go yet. This I think is one of the finest of all the cover crops and a crop which most any farmer can handle. Unfortunate ly we have some acreage in the i county which is not suited to the' growing of this great crop. 1 According to Government reports, [ we lost from washing 17 times as much soil fertility each year as is, required to make a crop. Is it any j wonder then that we have poor land in places and had we not better do i something about the matter? Les-1 pedeza acts as a sieve and practical ly nothing is carried off by water from a lespedeza field. Of course the | land should be terraced in order to j help control the washing. In addition to this, the lespedeza crop will add about as m\ich nitrogen as you would obtain in 400 to 500 pounds of soda, to say nothing of fhe value of the humus it adds to the soil. A farmer’s land is his bank. Watch that you are not drawing on it too heavily. No far mer, regardless of how good he is, can afford to work poor land and es pecially when in most cases it can be built up with a little thought and a the CCC Camp at Polkton to spend the week-end with relatives.
