If you can play a fiddle, banjo, or what not, you are invitod; if you can't play, you are invited; if you dance, you are invited; if you can't dance, you are invited; in fact, everybody is invited to come to Wil liamaton tonight and have a general big time. It will cost you nothing, and we feel sure that you will enjoy yourself.

Uolhday Says Actual Tests Show Value of Kye as Over Crop That rye is the best poor man's crop in North Carolina was the State ment made recently by Mr. Louis T. Hoiliday, a farmer living on the Wil liumston-Waaiungton road. Mr. Hoiliday says that in actual tests he has found tliat he makes good tobacco following rye, and fails on the same land under the same condi tions, when there was no rye, being able to tell to the very row. Mr. Hoiliday says tliat good farm ing means the laud £et» Lou fkh for toha—e. causing diaaaaa and rough, (pan* flhrw. That under the old idea that you oould not plant tobacco twice in a place it waa hard to get a good crop of tobacco because the land was too rich. He says the thing to do is to get your best tobacco land and continue to plant the same land, which can be done year after year if sowed down in rye in the early fall. Mr. Hoiliday further slates that you must not let the rye grow too late in the spring. If it does, insects will destroy the tobacco. He says cut it in the land with discs and plow cer tainly by the first of April. If al lowed to stay later certain insects will depfegtf£veggs on the growing rye and produce a worm that will destroy the tobacco plants. Another value from the rye is the grazing for all the farm stock, from chickens to the horse. Abruzzi rye is regarded as the best variety to plant.

WELL-KNOWN MAN OF PARMELE DEAl>j r - t Mr. 11. F. Ward Succumbs to Long illness Last Wednesday; Funeral Held Thursday ■w (Special to The Enterprise) Parmele, Aug. 21.—Funeral .Ol vices for Mr. 11. F.

DO AND DO NO'i'S | WITH COVERCROPS ' Hye Planted Too Early Invite* In sects; Around September 10 Is A Good Time to Sow Judging from inquiries about sow ing cover crops, we farmers are now in a sowing tuood, but one thing we don't wjknt to forget is that rye sown before Septembers very likely to be a total loss. September 10 is plenty early to begin sowing rye. Hye as a stimulant crop 011 tobac- I co lands is fine as can lie, but, should not, under any circumstances, be sown before October 1. October 15 is better. Why? Sown laie'no insect life _ is attracted to the rye fields. The rye cover crop should he thoroughly disk ed, bar l owed and turned in by March 10 next spring. Keep the stock off the fields when the sufl is wet, grazing j when the land i'a wet totally unfits the soil for quick growing crops. Abruzzi rye and crimson clover for | fall and winter grazing are not ex " cettcd and Ttrr ncH? td these plants will furnish more graing here in Die Coastal Plain than any we know. Sow in Seplember 1 1-2 bushels of Bye and 20 pounds of crimson clover | per acre. Well prepared soil, lime,-fer tilizer and innoculation for the clover are requirements thai must not be ( overlooked. Sow the rye and disk in, runalevel J ing harrow. Then sow the clover and ■ harrow, brush or roll in. Wheat is a splendid growing crop. ' Sown with clover it makes a fine hay ' crop. The smooth head varieties are preferable for hay. Around October ]| 10 to 16 is the best time to sow J wheat. Thorough preparation is a I prerequisite to good stands and crops. Prepare the soil well and let time and r rain settle it and be practically sure ,of success. —J. L.

In. Virginia, delegates from all the counties of the dark-fired district met last week in Farmville and expressed themselves as ready, to make plans for another five-year sign up of the dark tobacco crop in their State. The South Carolina co-ops are mak ing a good start towards their object ive of 28,000,000 pounds deliveries to the association this season, and if the present receipts and enthusiasm fot the association' are any., indication, they will pass their Koal before the present season clones. .Four in Process in County If present arrangements are ii#t al tered, there will be four revivals in the county next Sunday.
