It is a great deal of satisfaction
to be able to furnish to the readers
of this column information about,
successful farmers. I have furn
ished in the past some Information
about the farming activities of D.
W. Hemmlngs, of Dobson. Two
years ago Mr. Hemmings grew an
average of 35 1-2 bushels on a six
acre wheat field. This year his av
erage was 30 1-2 bushels on 22 ac
res. Leap's Prolific is the variety
used. The seed was secured two
years ago by former county agent
H. E. White from certified seed peo
ple in Virginia. Certified seed has
proven very successful where it has
been used by the farmers. Recently
there has been organized in this
state the North Carolina Crop Im
provement Association, Inc., and this
association is a member of the In
ternational Crop Improvement Asso
ciation. It is the aim of this asso
ciation to encourage and develop
among the farmers the use and pro
duction of better seeds. Governor
O. Max Gardner is a member of tho
Board of Control, and he is encour
aging farmers over the State to use
and produce certified seed. Certi
fied seed is approved by the State
College, the Experiment Station and
the State Board of Agriculture and
the purpose is to make available a
source of quality seed for the av
erage farmer to use in reducing the
cost of production. Certified seed
is produced from approved seed
sources and is inspected in the field
and in the bin previous to certifica
tion. Certified seed is grown from
known origin seed, is well bred, of
high quality, free gf disease and
guaranteed. To grow seed for certi
fication. a farmer must be a member
in good standing of the North Car
olina Crop Improvement Associa
tion, Mr. Hemmings has received
the following letter from Mr. G. H.
Mlddleton, seed (specialist, which
says in part: "I have the following
report on your wheat: weight per
bushel, 62 1-2 pounds, germination,
100 per cent, and purity 99.8. This
is a very fine sample of grain and
we are glad to list it for certifica
tion." In talking to Mr. Hemmings,
he says: "I have about 625 bushel 3
of certified Leap's Prolific for sale,
and it will be recleaned aud treated
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
with copper carbonate before offer
ing It for sale. For this recleaned
and treated seed I am getting two
dollars per bushel. Copper carbon
ate treatment has been used by Mr.
Hemmings for two years and he
finds that it is more satisfactory
than blue stone or formalin treat
ment for wheat smut. Copper car
bonate seems to increase germina
tion and cause more vigorous growth
of the wheat plant.

Good because of the natural mildness and fragrance of mellow tobaccos,
with all the delicacy and aroma preserved by scientific skill in prepara

Easy—because they are so mild and smooth that you can smoke them
all the day through with never a suggestion of throat discomfort.
Notice that it's Camels now your crowd and elsewhere because

is alleged to have dealt Schmellng
and which caused nation-wide dis
