Let each fanner take a cer tain piece of land for cotton, corn, tobacco and peanuts, prepare just a.' good as possible according to his b judgment, select his seed with care, then fertilize and cultivate. Next fa! take special care to see just how much each of the plots produce. Of course, we have made a careful estimatee of what the cost has been for we should charge everything done and every thing spent for the same. If, we will follow this method up we will soon find whether we are n?aly farming for a profit or not. If we will take a little more time to learn just what things are costing us we might find it would pay better to make some changes. We might get our county on a much sounder basis of agriculture, if we will just leam how to do it. 1 would like to henr from other far mers through The Enterprise. I am, anxious to know how much other far mers succeed and if they have bettei method* than I have. I will appre ciate any. information on any topii that helps the farmer. Yours very truyl, A.

PEANUTS SHOULD BE SHELLED Jl ST BEFORE PLANTING Delay in planting peanut* after shelling the seed causes considerable loss in the course OfOftoihrdtnunun loss in germination, it has been learn ed during the course of investigations conducted by T/ie I'nited States De partment of Agriculture. The inves tigations involved tests of shelled and unshelled peanuts and the effect of the time of tuelling on the germina tion of the seed. Peanuts planted after l>eing shelled for different lengths of time- showed great differences in germination Those shelled 08 days before planting Rave only .'l7 per rent (Termination and a yield of 8 1-3 bushels per acre; plant ed 7*9 days after shelling, 'the germina tion was 78 per cent and the yield 41 1-3 bushels per acre; planted 1 day after shelling the germination was 94 per cent and the yield 64 2-8 bushels per acre. A delay of even 9 days af ter shelling gave appreciably lower results than those obtained by im mediate planting. . The germination, was only 85 per cent, as compared with 94 per cent when there was a delay of but one day after The yield In the last case, was only 55 1-3 bushels per acre. Particuar stress therefoe has been laid by depatment specialists on the iinpotance of holding the peanuts un shelled until just before the time they are to be planted.

North Carolina, Tue DIFFERENCE IN GROSS RECEIPTS AND INCOME j Numerous inquiries havo been re ceived regarding the proper interpre tation of section 223 of the Revenue act of 1921, which provider that eacS individual whose] gross income for 1921 was s6,ooo'or over shall flic a return regardless of his or her net income. Gross income means statutory gross income, defined by the Revenue act to include "gains, profits and income de- rived from salaries, wages or compen sation for persona 1 Service ***** of whatever kind and in whatever form paid, or from professions, vocations, trades, business commerce or sales or dealings in property, whether real o personal growing out of the owner ship, or use of or interest in such prop erty; also rfom inteiest rent, dividend* securities or the transaction of an) business carried on for gain o pofit o grains or profits an dmcome derived from any source whatever." Gross income does not necessarily mean gross receipts. A merchant, for instance, in computing statutory gross income, should deduct there from the cost of (foods sold. For ex ample, a merchant may have gross re ceipts amounting to SIO,OOO, but the cost of goods sold amounts to -7,000. He ha sno other income. The stat utory gn>Bß income would be $3,0t)0 In case the other deductions allowed him for business expenses, taxes, in terest, bad debts, etc., amount to $2, 500, his net income would be SSOO No return of income is require din this case A lawyer who is married and li\ ing with his wife has gross receipt; in the form of fees amounting to SO,OOO and his necessary business ex ponses amount to $4,200, leaving a net income of only SI,BOO. A return will be required in this case, as tax payers' gross income as well as gros: receipts is KMXM). MKS. EMILY WOOD PAGAN Norfolk I^edger-Dispatch.

BROWNING AUTOMATIC GUN DEMONSTRATED AT RIVER Lieutenant Osborne of Plymouth came up last night to instruct the Wil ilamston platoon of the National Guard. His principal mission was to give instruction on teh operation of automatic rifles. He had one of th new Browning light automatic rifle? and took the members of the company to the river thi Bmorning and gave an actual test of the gun. The gun lookt very ravh like an ordinary Automatic shot gun except for a little more ma chinery around the breech. The lieu tenant held the gun in a belt socket and fired at about the rate of fI(X per minute. He also fired it from hh shoulder. Those witnessing the fir ing wonder how men escape when they charge a machine gun battery. It would seem that a whole army could lie mowed down in a single charge. The Williamston platoon will be fur nished with two and possibly thror of these automatic guns and will b given full interaction at drills durinr the Spring.
