C., August 31.—The Government of the United States through the federal department of agriculture has again set aside a quantity of pyrotol, the cheap ex plosive manufactured from wartime materials, for the use of North Caro lina farmers. “Last year this state was alloted 900,000 pounds of pyrotol”, says A T. Holman, agricultural engineer for the extension division of State Col lege. “This year our allotment has been increased to 1,400,000 pounds and the material is now available foi those fahners who wish to clear their land of stumps or to drain wet spotj or otherwise use the material on the Jurors Drawn For Clay or Court At regular aession jpf the Board of County Commissioner* of Clay Coun ty, held on the 1st, Monday in Sep tember, tl?fe following named persons were drawn as jurortfor the term of Superior, Coart whict will convene on the 4th, day of Qttober, namely: J.

The pyrotol’ is not available for merchants or dealers and farmers may secure it only by ordering through their county farm agents or through the extension division of the College.” • Mr. Holman states that the farmers of Pender County are the first to take advantage of the new allotment. They have placed an order for 16,000 pounds through county agent W. H. Robbins and the material will be ship ped to Burgaw for distribution. This shipment was financed by the county Board of Commissioners so that land owners could have a supply to blow out stumps and otherwise improve the condition of their fields. “While we were allotted only 900,000 pounds last yearfwe actually got a little, over one million pounds,” says, Mr. Holman. “This material Much Interest Shown In Union Meeting At Hayesville The Union Meeting which has been in progress in Hayesville for the past two weeks will continue indefinitely as there is more and mo/e interest being shoiyn each day.

Prospects Bright For Reopening of Hiawassee Bank It now looks as if the Hiawassee Bank, of Hiawassee, Georgia, which closed its doors some weeks agp, will be able to reopen and resume busi- •{ * ness within a short time, upon terms, that are better than Was at first ex pected. Mr. W. O. Sparks, Cashier of the Bank, and Dr. Johnson, one of the principal stockholders, both of Hia wassee Ga., and Mr. O. L. Anderson,. of Hayehville, N. C., appeared before the Banking Department of the State of Georgia in Atlanta on September 3rd, at which time the Banking De- * partment made known ill# terms on which said B'ank might be reopened and plans were worked out for re opening the Bank. These plans have been submitted to the depository who have almost unanimously approved same. The spirit of fair play and co operation between the depositors and the Bank has been all that could be expected. Towns County being in the Hia wassee Valley and an adjoining Coun ty makes it seem almost a part of our community and our business inter ests are so much in common that any thing that injuriously affects that community also hurts our county. For this Bank to go into liquidation would spell disaster for all of Towny County and would seriously affect our community. Such disasters as the closing of the Hiawassee Bank bring about the realization of the great service which the small country banks render to the -communities they serve. The Clay County Bank of this place has be.en serving quite a number of the business men of Towns County since the closing of their bank. FjERi 1U2E ~t ' YOUR WHEAT By W. F. Pate, Agronomist Wheat in North Carolina occupied in 1925, 438,000 acres and ranked fourth in acreage in the State, being exceeded only by corn, cotton and tobacco. The average yield per acre for the State for wheat for 192g was 11 bushels. To produce wheat profitably, it is essential that the yields per acre be greatly increased over the yields that have been obtained in the past. To increase the yields, it is neces sary to put into practice the best types of farming. This will include the following: 1. Seed of high yielding strain suitable to the rigion. 2. Treating the seed for smut. 3. Careful preparation of ,the seed bed. 4i 4. Using soils suitable for wheat growing. 5. Seeding at the right time. 6. Using enough seed. 7. Applying the proper plant foods. In the fertilization of wheat, it should be kept in mind that .phos phoric acid and potash will fend to develop a strong, healthy plant with a large root system which enables the plant to withstand freezing and drouth better than if fertilizer was not used. On soils of medium fer tility or less, nitrogene should be usea in the fertilizer to give the plants a good start and vigor, but large ap plications of nitrogen should probably not be used before seeding as some loss may occur during the winter. Probably the better way to use nitro gen for wheat is to apply a portion in £he fall before the crop js seeded and the other part as a top dressing in the- spring when new growth be gins. For North Carolina, the agricultur al experiment, station recommends §00 to 400 pounds of an 8-5-8 fer tilizer-for wheat on sandy soils: 300 tb 500 pounds per acre,of a. 12-4-0 fertilize* for clay soils and 400- io 600 pounds foj mountain soils. JBy using the above recommenda tions, not only will the acreage yield be increased but flie wheat will ba grown at a greater profit. SUf* §il
