Attention t3 called again to the unveiling of markers at the graves of John Graham, Revolutionary sol dier, and his daughter, which Is to •ake place on Sunday afternoon at ’ o'clock at the old Graham ceme ',ory near Patterson Springs and Grover. Appropriate exercises will .t company the unveiling and visit ors who go down for the occasion ' ill find the old cemetery of Inter est as there are many graves dating back to the revolutionary period. It is reported that there are three generations of Grahams, descend ants of this John Graham, with heir wives and families, buried in rhis same cemetery. Mrs, John Phifer, formerly Miss Florence Gra ham. is a direct descendant of this line, being a great, great, grand daughter of tire John Graham whose grave Is being marked. Other descendants and relatives, who arc particularly Interested in the occa sion, are the Anthonys, Mrs. G. P. Hamrick, Mrs. J. L. Parker and Mrs. H A. Logan. Farewell Party For Miss Myrtle Harris. The nursing stall of the 8helby hospital was hostess at a delightful party entertaining at the home of Miss Fay Dellinger Monday even ing at 8 o'clock. The occasion being a farewell party tn honor of Miss Myrtle Harris. The spacious living room and din ing room were lovely with a pro fusion of autumn flowers. The hostess was assisted by Miss Vivian Dellinger in serving a de licious ice course with Angel food cake. Miss Harris has been with the Shelby hospital as X-ray and lab oratory technician for the past six years. She leaves here to accept a position with the Haywood county hospital, Waynesville, The numerous friends of Miss Harris will regret very much to hear of her leaving Shelby as she was active in both church and social ac tivities, The hostesses presented Miss Harris with a lovely gift. Hits Arty Wed* Mr. Sidney Graham Chappell. A wedding centering the interest of a wide circle of friends in the 'wo Caroiinas and one of unusual beauty and charm was that of Miss Lula Agnes Arey to Mr. Sidney Gra nam Chappell, which was solemniz ed at the home of the bride on East Warren street at high noon, today. With a distinguished assemblage of relatives and friends as witness es, the marriage ceremony was per formed by Rev. L. B. Hayes, the bride's pastor. The vows were spok en in the west parlor in front of a •owering screen of palms, ferns, and floor baskets of yellow chrysanthe mums, flanked with cathedral can dlesticks holding lighted tapers. The wedding music was played by Miss Ethel Elmore, assisted by Mr. W- T. Sinclair, of Charlotte, with violin. Prior to the entrance of the wedding party, Mr. Sinclair render ed ‘Adoration'’ by Borowski. The ever lovely Mendelssohn and Lohen grin wedding marches were used as the wedding party entered and left the room and as the ceremony was spoken. “To a Wild Rose" by Mc Dowell was softly played. Miss El more was gowned in brown flat - crepe with shoulder sprav of roses and valley lilies. The ribbon bearers were: Little' Miss Patsy Short, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Short, wearing yel low georgette, and little Miss Evan geline Palmer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Palmer wearing pink Reor gette and carrying a mammoth chry santhemums with yellow ribbon streamers, forming an Isle for the bridal party.

SIF1ED FARMING (Continued from page five' eration from this standpoint. Ex penditures must be justified by the increase in crop yield either at once or at some time in the near fu ture. The kind of crops that is grown and the price received are important factors, since these affect the margin of profit and consequent ly the amount of money available for improvement. The rate at which this improve ment Is to be made must be gov erned to a certain extent by the amount of capital available for the purpose. With the necessary capital available, the improvement may be carried on rapidly and the soil built up in a comparatively short time. With little or no capital available more time is necessary and the im provement must be brought about gradually. The latter condition has its advantages in that there is more time to become familiar with important details, and there is also less danger from losses caused by putting more money into the soil than returns will warrant. Such losses often occur when the im provement ts brought about too rap idly. In this connection, also, the type of farming should be made to con form to the conditions on the indi vidual farm. For the man with small capital, crop farming is a much more simple and a more de sirable type for a few years, al least, than livestock farming. A few cash qrops well selected will gener ally return a reasonably income with less investment than is requir ed for livestock farming. There is an advantage, however, in keeping enough livestock to utilize feed that might otherwise be wasted, the manure being returned to the land. Is it more profitable to turn under a growing crop for green manure, to feed it on the farm, or to sell it as hay? No specific answer can be given, as in every case many local factors will be involved. Neverthe less, there is little doubt that the returns will be greater when crops can be advantageously fed to ani mals and the cattle manure used on the farm than when the ^ crop in question is turned under. The practice of pasturing off crops with livestock is a very econ omical way of removing the crops and adding large quantities of or ganic matter to the soil. Depending upon the location makes the rais ing of livestock an important crop. The changes in economic conditions demand greater returns than ever. The best way to bring about high er yields Is for the farmers to adopt improved methods of management.

But in the beginning and for a considerable time thereafter crop farming and the sale of cash crops has a decided advantages in its sim plicity of operation and quicker and surer returns. Tfce importance of cultivation, ro tation, and of the use of fertilizers In permanent soil, productivity bear a separate value relation. Cultiva tion aids both rotation and fertili zation; rotation aids in rendering fertilizers more effective; and, that fertilizers increase the value of ro tation on account of the differences in the character of the soil and the great variety of crops that are grown. There is much diversity in farm p/actlce, not only In the use of fertilizers and method of tillage but also In the methods of soil Im provement. For example, some farm ers depend chiefly on the manure from livestock to make their land productive; others depend on the sod remaining from grass and clover crops with the use of comuTPrcial fertilizers; others grow-lefjumes to turn under as green manure; whtle still others use a combination of more than one of these methods. There is one outstanding feature, however, in all these different meth ods of building up land; the fact that in every case where the fertil ity of the soil has been built up and crop yields materially Increased large quantities of vegetable matter have been added to the soil In one form or another. Experience shows that crop plants do better when the soil In which they grow Is in good tilth. This con dition of good tilth Is facilitated by organic matter. Not only do, the higher plants grow better in or ganic matter, but the activities of the soil bacteria are largely de pendent on the supply of decaying vegetable matter. These bacteria need food and air. Most beneficial bacteria use air, and this they find more abundantly in a soil supplied with organic matter than in stiff clays poor in organic matter. In sandy soils there is air enough, but the addition of humus helps to hold moisture and so benefits the bac teria as well as the higher plants. A good physical condition of the soil, therefore, largely depends op the organic matter In the soil. This or* ganic matter may be supplied by stable manure, crop residues, or by green manures. When a green rria nure crop Is turned under, the var ious fertilizing elements that have gone Into the making of the crop are returned to the soil, and a quan tity of organic matter not before In the soil is added. The organic mat ter serves as food for micro-organ isms and also improves the physi cal condition of the soil. In such conditions • water is absorbed more readily during heavy rains, thus lessening the danger from washing. Soils well supplied with organic matter are also more Retentive of moisture, remain more friable, are easier to work, and are less likely to become hard or form a crust after rains. in order to prevent leaching of nitrates from the soil one must con sider the time for turning under green manure crops and for plant ing cover or other crops to consume the nitrates that are produced. The conditions or characteristics of a particular Soil determine In a large measure what crops are best adapt ed to that soil. Grow the crops which are best suited to this soil. The growing of One crop affects to a greater or less degree the growth of another crop which follows. What fertilizer and the amount which should be used'will depend on the soil and crops. When turning under a green manure crop the furrow slice should be laid slanting. The soil should also be thoroughly roll ed, so as to compact it about the mass of plant matters as much as possible. Tills will hasten decay and prevent the drying out of the soil. The compacting may be done best with a disk harrow, which will et and prepare the seed bed. A corru gated roller Is also an excellent tool. Among the important points that determine the value of a leguminous crop are: its value as forage, both quantity and quality either as hay or pasture; its ability to supply ad ditional nitrogen; the cost of seed; the pase of plowing under the crop: the depth of the roots, and their ability to choke out weeds. Farm the same surface manure is a most valuable source oi fertility on many of the farms. In addition to supplying considerable nitrogen, some phosphoric acid, and potash, it Is also an important source of humus. The cultural methods consist of spring plowing, fall plowing, disking, listing, sub-soiling, summer tillage, and the plowing under of green manure crops. The number of till age operations required for prepar ing the land for a crop varies a great deal with these deal with these different cultural methods. The time at which the labor must be performed likewise varies. Crops are needed that will give better season al distribution of labor. A hillside held subject to soil washing cdlls for a different man agement as regards rotation than a field j)n a flat area. It }s often easier to vary a rotation to suit the fields than to alter the fields to suit a ro tation. Local conditions may arise whiclu|p/ill make flexibility of rota tions highly desirable. Another class of biological factors is seen in the effect produced by certain insect pests and fungous diseases. In this case the change of crops aids in the control of such insects or diseases or prevents their devleopment. The small grains have profited more by labor-saving machinery than any others. The farmer with large fields and level land can take advantage of these means of cheapening pro duction as the man with small fields often hilly or rocky could not . util ize them to such tyi advantage. It is a certaih thing that the chief and fundamental point in husbandry is to understand the nature and con dition of the land that one tills; and to sow it with such seed as it will produce naturally, or by art that which may turn to a man's great est profit and advantage. Results along improvement lines can be realized only to the extent that each farmer masters the prin ciples of tillage and studies his soils, crops, and machinery so that he may be able to make the proper ap plication of the tillage principles to the conditions on his farm through tire means at his command. By do ing this on unirrigated lands the animal enterprises are very use ful. Especially is poultry farming j The Shelby Hardware Co.’s Removal Sale Starts MONDAY 9 A. M.

The most important economic factors limiting the distribution ot crops are value per unit of weight, and distance to market (cost of transportation.) Some crops value higher per pound than others; therefore, they can be sent a great er distance. Goods such as hay can not be transported with a profit un less the purchaser could pay a high price for It. Transportation is provided b;y both rail and water; therefore, in a large part of the regions, rail roads, and in' many cases the main lines, connect directly with the large cities, which permits the mar keting of the most perishable pro ducts without difficulty. A market is therefore within easy shipping distance for the gTeat variety of crops and livestock products to which the soil and climate are so well adapted. Water tributaries af ford transportation to those parts of the regions not reached by rail road. The precipitation during the growing season, is variable in belli quantity and distribution. Both 01 these factors are of great import ance in determining crop products Only in exceptional years is the precipitation high enough and suf ficiently well distributed to allow all crops to mature without their growth being checked to some ex tent by drought. Likewise it is rare’ for any year to be so dry that com- : plete failure of all crops occur. The. fact that one crop-may do weil-hi-a year when another crop fails tends to make some diversification of crops necessary in order that com plete failure may be avoided as far as possible. The cultivation after plowing fal low is intended to accomplish the following purposes: To prevent the loss of moisture from the soil, main ly by preventing weed growth and also decreasing the evaporation from the surface foot of soil; to maintain a coarse granular mulch that will not blow and would absorb as much of the precipitation as possible; and to prepare a seed bed in which tlw> crop will germinate readily and make a good cnrly growth. , From a general welfare or econo mic point of view it is generally con ceded that, diversification, wher ever it is possible, is the first im portant step toward more stabilized agriculture, and this stabilization in turn would lead to more contentul farm homes, the only conditions which should prevail generally in order that agriculture may bq-irntde a strong national bulwark. Di\h^i fication in farming is the mother of crop rotation: and rotation is not only a major factor in the main tenance of soil productivity, but in the establishment of systematic chapping systems. To know the proper rotation for your land is to make a real business of farming. In general, the fanning through out the country has assumed its present form ih response to well de fined physical, biological, and econ edge of these forces Is likely to lead to confusion and to severe losses on the part of farmers, - < ■ IS HOME OWNED STORES I co UJ cc O h* co Q u 2 £ O u S 0 1 The Store that Looks 3 Ri$ht is Ri$ht/ 0 . . .
