TO THE FARMERS OF
ROCKINGHAM COUNTY
At thU crucial time the question
of soil Improvement la of equal Im
portance to that of food production
If we are fortunate enough to secur?
a good crop this year, It will ho a ca
lamity if we do not make preparation
for an equally goodor better -crop
neit season. We will need it just as
badly perhaps indood a great deal
more than we ao mis year. mere-
fore it ought to be our earnest desire
to leate our land in the best possible
shape, after taking out our crop for
1917, to produce abundantly in 1911
Farmers should plant peas, beiib,
and soy benas for food. I would urge
the fanners to plant plenty of velvet
lioans for soil improvement. Stable
manure is very scarce in ia cuumy,
because livestock is scarce. The far
mers will of course, use all they can.
get of it, but tlu3 chief trouble is that
they cannot get enough.
If we value the nitrogen, phosphor
ic add, and potash at the same price
each during normal times, a ton of
velvet beans is worth $14.86 while a
ten of stable manure is only worth
2.77. But when we vaulo nitrogen at
21 cents; phosphoric add at 5 cents,
and potash at 25 cents per pound, a
ton of velvet beans vines is worth
$30.27 for fertilizer,
ot corn it will be seen that the yield
from an acre producing twenty bu
shels of corn, may be Jncreastod per
haps twenty-five per cent, or more, by
planting beans in the corn. The Early
Specklad, or Hunderd Day, are con
sidered best for this section at the
present time.
Do not allow your land to "rest":
keep It busy growing velvet beans, or
some other legume crop. It will pay
yon.
If you are in need of advice or assis
tance, do not fail to call upon your
County Agfent, who will only be too
glad to be of service.

you just as much in the,, fields as it

HOW SHALL WE CONSERVE
OUR SURPLUS FOOD STUFF?
Rockingham county is going to have
thla largest crop of food in 1917 in Its
history. Our fanners are ; working
their heads off.
It is a splendid demonstration of
while a ton of pure patriotism. Of course there are
horse manure is only Worth $4.72. In
other words, a ton of velvet beans
ontalns almost seven times as much
fertilizer as a ton of horse manure,
With thhse facts In mind isn't it
remarkable that every farmer in the
ounty does not grow large crops of
velvet beans?
Mr. Farmer, are you going to ketep
up the shortsighted policy of paying
unusually high prices for nitrogen

North Carolina, was several years a

CHAUTAUQUA WILL PREACH

In 5000 Chautauqua tents and audi

country's best speakers will preach
practical patriotism and seek to train
the national mind along lines of most
effective service.

of America," said Dr. Paul M. Pear

Managers' Association, Thursday at a
meeting of the executives of five thou

Poultry, too, will not keep, neither

! to act in a co-operative manner to
protect themselves, or the rank and
file of our tpwnspeople will have to
jitj.np into thla breach. There is no
time for finessing, or playing politics
over this matter the time is ripe to
make preparation for the conservation
of a big perishable crop, and if we fail
to takta care of it, it will be a most
discreditable thin.
We need cans for taking care of our
perishable vegetable crop and cold
storagle to take care of poultry, pork
ond other foodstuffs. If we don't gst
these, then we must throw our per
ishable crop on the open market at
a tine when it Is plentiful ovter the
whole country, and the result will be
disastrous; disastrous in money terms
and disastrous in economic terms
and we will be the laughing stock of
thto State nay, It will be worse than
that. We will richly deserve the
scorn of every loyal and thoughtful
man and woman in North Carolina.
We must prepare against possible
lose in this direction, and we imust
do it soon. There is not a day to bte
lost. The opportunity presents itself
for splendid service by some big man
in the community who has money to
spare. Who is it going to be?

Every man in the United States and
many women want to know if Uncle
Fam is going to grab his automobile

not unless it comos to a last emer
Kiency. It was announced in the publica
tions of the specifications of the motor
transport board which has asked bids
on 1,000 to 35,000 motor trucks of
both light and heavy types. The de
partment points out that trucks used
by individuals are too varied of de
sign to be ot great use while pleasure
cars are geared too high to be easily
converted. Touring automobiles can
not be used well for transportation of
troops because of their small capacity.
