Harper’s Bazaar's August number, dedicated to college girls, introduces two charming ideas. (1) Green, red and natural plaid wool, the jacket with rounded lapels, a four-gored skirt. (2) Tan, white and teal blue Glen plaid, a long jacket, a four gored skirt. Wheat Can Grow; Make Preparations While it may be true that wheat is not considered a money-mak ing crop in this section, it is a splendid crop on the farms of Person county to meet the plan tation needs of the families, live stock and poultry. Some people have made the statement that they do not have time to grow wheat in a tobacco county, yet there are many farmers who have demonstrated the fact that they can find time to sow wheat, har vest it and carry it to mill. Some farmers report that on certain types of land—particularly sandy soil—wheat does not do well, dees not even pay for the seed and fertilizer—but we have farmers on sandy farms who have demon strated for years and years that they can make 30 bu. per acre on applying sandy loam and kind red soil. Under tobacco control for the next three years, more and more farmers will turn their attention to growing their own bread. For best results the land should be turned under in July. If we give wheat a chance by sowing it on good land, fertilizing it at time of planting, and top-derssing it in the spring, there is no reason why we should not produce 15 bushels of wheat per acre and up. Wheat does better on a firm seed-bed. Therefore, if wheat is to follow corn or tobacco in a rotation, discing the land is suf ficierit preparation. Use at least Mr. and Mrs. B. B.

That’s what we’re called in “River’s End” because the tints is about 1908.” “Don’t tell me the name was changed again,” said James Ste phenson who plays Morgan’s sup erior officer in the picture. “Right!” said Morgan. “In 1920 it became the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. In fact, the only thing that hasn’t changed is the motto.” * “What’s that?” “Maintein le droit!” said Mor gan, saluting. — : o OPEN FORUM To the Editor, The Person County Times: Editor-in-chief, Wheeler McMil lan, of the Farm Journal says; “we may or may not need to use a miiltary defense; we shall cer tainly need to use a economic de fense, and it must be powerfully and wisely built. The farms of: the county are a basic part of military as well as economic de fense.” Very wise words we all agree. In fact when it gets down to brass tacks we are all mighty de pendent on the farms of this 1 great country of ours, and the! very best part of it is that farmers always rise to the occa sion.

Very soon our schools will open for another term. All parents wish to see children do well in their school work, be happy in their contacts with other children and have healthy bodies able to resist disease germs. Good gardens are fairly easy to grow, and for a certain amount of time tnd effort coupled with a fair season will produce the necessary amount of vegetables and small fruits needed by the entire fam ily. Surplus products may be suc cessfully preserved for winter use with very little effort. An ade quate diet is much more easily provided from the pantry shelves than it is from any source, so let me urge the canning, preserving, pickling and jelly-making suf ficient for the family needs. This is the time to work hard on the fall and winter garden— And don’t say that your family doesn’t eat this, that and the oth erthing. If prepared in various ways all foods may all of a sud den make an appeal to finicky ap ■ petites. Decide on their needs then keep trying until you get each member of your family eat ing everything in some form or another. Be so busy with preventing an invasion of germs into your fam ily circle that you haven’t time to worry about them, for if an adequate food supply is provided for all members of the family there is no cause for worry, and r * FASHION PREVIEW ★ FOR autumn hunts, for dog shows, even for picnics or motoring a compleat suit, even to the lap robe to match is suggested in the August Harper’s Btzaar.
