r ;*= Forms number 215 have been sent to all of our farmers showing the al lotted acreage and the acres planted and whether or not additional units were needed in the way of soil-build ing credits. These acres must be sown to winter legumes before the 1st of November. It is too late for crimson clover to do its best, so in most cases we recommend the seed ing of vetch. We have been notified that appli cations for payment for 1938 will be in the office in time for a good por tion of them to be signed during the month of October. Individual no tices will be sent to our farmers tell ing them when and where to appear for signing these vouchers. I have seen a number of fields of soybeans this past week where vetch had been sown and left for the leaves to fall and cover, and in every case there was a good stand of heatlhy vetch. Vetch planted this way in com where there was consid erable grass or in peanuts can be ex pected to give a good stand. Our tobacco growers are advised to return the used marketing cards to this office when all the poundage has been used. We have approximately 100 farm ers in the county who have over planted peanuts and are planning to leave the overplanted peanuts unhar vested and utilize them with hogs so as to receive their maximum soil con servation payment. We have in the county office a IT'S—? number of new bulletins on hog feed ing. management, sanitation and hog houses. These are free for the ask ing. There are new bulletins and good bulletins on poultry production and winter egg production, etc. Our flocks should be well fed and housed, in others words made comfortable for the winter. Everything points to a profitable year for good poultrymen. There is a good demand for hogs at this time, and Mr. Munce. of Kingan and Company, told me this week that we could pay better than Chicago for hogs FOB Plymouth now and that heavy hogs were in demand. It would be advisable to carry hogs to 200 pounds or better now rather than sell them light, or around 160 pounds. A number of inquiries have come in from farmers who want pure-bred white-faced bulls. We have located a few full-bred white-faced bulls, cows and heifers and have the names, addresses and price from the owners in this office. We will be glad to give any information and assistance in purchasing cattle that we can. I believe there is a greater future for beef cattle in Washington Coun ty than any other proposition our farmers could take up, where farms are situated for ample forage and grazing land. We learned today arrangements have been made for storing peanuts under the same management we had last year. The warehouses will be ready by the time peanuts are picked, and we should not have the conges tion experienced last year. Warehousemen are planning to handle peanuts as they are picked from the field. Prices advanced on these peanuts by the Peanut Stabili NOTICE: All unpaid 1937 Town of Roper taxes will be adver tised the week of October 17, and sold the second Monday in November.

THE Public FORUM MIRACLES TODAY To the editor: I often hear people discoursing the Scripture with some preachers, ask ing why can't they perform miracles today as they did in the day of the Apostles? Some of the preachers say the reason is the Holy Ghost is not here today: we only have the gift of the Holy Ghost, and that is the Bible I say miracles are performed today as they were in the Apostles’ time. The dead are raised, the sick are healed, the blind are made to see, the lame to walk. <1> If a man is a sinner, is he not dead spiritually? Then, if he is con verted. is he not made alive? Was he not blind and he became able to see? (2)If he is lame or sick, and a preacher goes to see him and gives him a dose of advice, or sets him right, and he carries out the advice, is he not healed spiritually? The Bible is to lead us spiritually, not materially. J. H. GAYLORD. Sr. Roper, N. C. Horticulturist Says October Busy Mouth For Home Gardners Time to Plant Either Hardy or Spring Flowering Bulbs October finds the careful gardner with a multitude of tasks on his hands, according to Glenn O. Ran dall. of the State College Department of Horticulture. Since this month is the time to plant hardy or spring flowering bulbs such as tulips, narcissi, and Dutch hyacinths, special attention should be given to the preparation of the soil. Most bulbs require that the soil be pulverized to a depth of eight to ten inches. Hardy bulbs respond favorable to commercial fertilizers, the formula fost commonly used being 3-8-10. Such fertilizer should be applied at the rate of two to three pounds per 100 square feet of soil. Stable manure should not be used as a fertilizer un less it is thoroughly decayed and carefully mixed with the soil. Randal also pointed out October is the time of year when many lawns show areas where the grass has made poor growth. A top dressing of thor oughly rotted stable manure and good top soil about two inches deep should stimulate more vigorous growth.

The seed should be covered lightly with a mixture of screened rotted manure and garden loam soil. All shrubs, especially lilacs and japonica, should be examined for scale insects. Those plants which na turally drop their leaves after frost and which show scale should be sprayed as soon as the leaves have fallen with an oil spray recommend ed for this purpose. Evergreen shrubs can also be spray ed to advantage at this time. If they show serious infestation, of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Swain Tues day. Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Hatfield.
