Person Farm Agency Notes Seed A Good Pasture At this season of the year, we begin to think of the green grass that will be growing within a few weeks. How about that pas ture that you have been planning for, but have not had time to pre pare? The ideal seed bed for pas tures is one that is thoroughly pulverized to a depth inches, and undisturbed below that depth. If plowing is neces sary, that should be done at least six to eight weeks before sowing the seed. Lands that have been hi. row crops can be prepared by discing and harrowing, but land (hat has been lying idle may have to be plowed shallow before dis cing. Cleared land may be made ready by burning the brush and harrowing with a disc or an old fashioned A shaped harrow. To renew an old pasture, cut down weeds and shrubbery, and scratch the soil to a depth of 2 or 3 >n ches. This may be done with a heavy spike-tooth harrow, or with a disc set almost straight, so as not to destroy the old sod, Put as much manure on the land as possible.. An application of 200 to 400 lbs. per acre of 2- 10-4 fertilizer, or of 4-12-4 is de sirable. In addition to this, pric tically all the pasture land in Person County needs 2000 lbs. of lime per acre and also a liberal application of 16 per cent acid phosphate or superphosphate. All old pastures shoud be top-dressed about March Ist.

Noell, “crossed the bar” on the evening of January 28, 1941. The Roxboro First Baptist Church Missionary Society will miss her. We, who were privileg ed to know her throughout the years, have lost a lovely personal ity with crystal-clear truth as the basis of her character. She had a conscience quick to recognize and respond to the needs and rights of others, and a conviction for principle that held her stead fast in all her relations of life. Pretense and sham had no place in her nature. She was never self assertive. We loved her sweet dignity, quiet response, calm ex pression, and wise judgment There was something about her that inspired one to noble living, that lifted life above the common place, and sordid, and stirred the soul to higher aims. Because of our love for her and hers be it resolved: First, That in the triune of wife, mother and friend may we strive r Tobacco Canvas... 18x22 count, yd. wide 2c yd. 28x38 count, yd. wide 3c yd. 24x28 count, ready made with eyelets 3*c yd. . 28x32 count, ready made with eyelets 4c yd.

With them we rejoice that they had so long the refuge and shelter of her fidelity to the heavenly vision, the contagion of her sweetness and courtesy, the guidance of her wisdom. And we know her memory will be their wealth and joy for all the coming years. We are sure her torch will be lifted higher, and quickened to a whiter glow.
