W. Metcalf, Waverly, one day last week when the county a gent saw him in J. S. Brown's store. Mr. Metcalf went on to say that in 1927 h used save that in 1927 he used 8-3-3, in 1928 he bought 10-4-4 and used under his tobacco, and in 1929, he advanced an other step and used the new tobacco fetrilizer made after formula suggested by E. Y. Floyd, tobacco specialist for North Carolina. "My tobac co," continued Mr. Metcalf, "was the brightest, more un iform, and of better quality in 1929 than in either of the oth er years. I want the same kind of fertilizer again." Joe Brown reports a yield of 2700 pounds of burley from the two acres fertilized with 12-4-6 and an average selling price on this of 32c per pound. Looks like Mr. Floyd has come pretty close to the right fer tilizer for burley considering all the reports had this year. PROGRAM MEETING There will be a meeting in the coun ty agent's office on Monday, January 27, at 10 o'clock in the morning, to consider a program for the agricultural work in the county for the coming year. All interested are invited to attend the meet ing. The district agent will oe present to offer suggestions. growing burley are intending ; to plant some. And then there is that great bright burley sec tion around Lexington, Ky., which lost its crop this year be cause of dry weather they will he hark acain.

The low price of milk for the con- densery plant there will no doubt tempt many to grow more burley. Mr. Farmer, think this mat ter over carefully. Don't you believe the best plan will be to grow the usual crop of burley, grow that the very best you can, and provide for the fam ily expenses from other sourc ies? We hope that most of County farmer for 1930.

GIVE FERTILIZER NEEDS OF DIFFERENT CROPS LET'S HOLD STEADY ON TOBACCO This seems to be a good idea for the Madison course of time. The fellow who rushes in when the price of what he makes to sell is high and drops out when the price is low usually loses in the end. Everything points to an in creased acreage of burley next year. A report from the county agent of Jackson Coun ty says that the farmers are preparing to grow tobacco. A few tried it this year and made the fools, I'm going to put more acres in tobacco."

Whether necessary or not, it is inevitable that the journalist, however careful and unsensational he may be, shall make prominent men tion of the murders, collisions, bur glaries, arsons, divorces, domestic and social infelicities, labor troubles, church quarrels, and the like, to say nothing of wars and all forms of in ternational strife. But these things, after all concern comparatively few people, and do not disturb the great ongoing of the Nation's work. They are numerous enough far too nu merous, but they are in a decided min ority, as we may remember with sig nal comfort. New York city, for example, is largely thought of as a huge and wicked city.

Not All Bad Thomas Hughes, author of Tom Brown's School Days, once said : "The real fact is that nations, and the fami lies of which nations are composed, make no parade or fuss over that part of their affairs which is going right." This is a familiar truth, but we need to recall it often that we may have courage and hope in daily service. Our daily newspapers, of which we are all such constant and omniverous readers, deal largely with abnormal places and low. There is unspeak able need of the gospel in the hearts and lives of men. And yet the ma jority 0f the people here are living orderly, sober, industrious and peace ful lives. Think of the multitudes of business establishments, large and small, the jjreat transportation com panies, the numerous churches, the hundreds of schools, libraries, art galleries, helpful societies of all sorts, and the tens of thousands of happy homes! These do not figure in the newspapers, but they constitute the basis and strength of the city's life. Watchman-Examiner.
