Carolina soils need fertilizing elements not ordinarily supplied in the usual mixtures con taining only nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, - "For instance, the bright red color of cotton leaves .ihi sandy areas of the State indicate a deficiency . of mag nesia and in some; instances losses front this troubl amount to JO or 20 percent of the possible cotton' yield," says L. G. Willis, soil chemist of the North Caroiin Experiment . ' Station. "It is possible to put dUomititf Je- ' stone fat the ferlitizers to, supply the magnesia, correct the ' aeidity of the fertilizers and have., ait excellent ef fect . on the soil.,. There . also in other sources of ther elementr ifed possibly, by supplying t the1 Reeded magnesia lor two or three .years, the soil' deficiency will be corrected." .(.. Mr. Willis has found that there, is a need for other fertilizuHr elements in the different-parts of the State. Some of these are . manganese, cop per, boron and others. ; " On certain truck crops, Buch' is. lettuce, beets, and spinach, 25 to 60 ""' pounds o: manganese sulfate to the "acre TnLrr with the fertilizers of ten means the difference between success and 1 ' ure with the crops. ,i ,f A, single application of , 50 pounds of copper sulfate -costing about three dollars has been - effective for three years on drained swamp soils in making them more productive. . ,t.. "We- are constantly learning new Jfacts about fertilizers," said Mr. Wil lis, "and as new soil ; requirements are identified it is almost certain that our . methods of fertilizing will change. . It is seldom : -realized that the soil ,j of the . State is constantly changing. A part, of this change i due' to: the removal of - fertility by cropping and a part by leaching and , this fertility cannot be fully .replaced by simply , making, heavier' applica tions of ordinary fertilizers.",. n u PaHeldIhII6hof:;: ; .little Bettie Xbrdley J yen ,j s Mf I"" i't J AfV; iit W . little Miss Bettie Lordley wa the honoree at a delightful birthday par-; - ty given -by her mother , at the home on Dobb Street on Saturday evening. x the occasion being , the i little' 'girl's eleventh birthday. f- ' J v-.- w j '- Three tables were ' arranged (f or bridge and those playing . included "' Florence Darden, Frances' Newby. : Ruth Hollowell,-' Evit Anne Tucker, Margaret roushton,' .Geneva White, iS Pat Edwards, 'Helen Mae White. - Eloise Keaton, Mary Belle Delaney, Gens 2' "U lry Pi !j. . , T I 1 won the prize for to?

Hertford; Perquimans County, North ANDERSON GIVES TIMELY AD VICE TO '- HARVEST BEANS Says HatvesUng of Crop Far More X Satisfactory, Than Leaving In Field For Hogs The . following advice to soya, bean growers given, out by L.". W. Ander son, Perquimans County Farm Agent, (Which appeared in - several news papers of the State last week, will be of interest to Perquimans County farmers. "Soya beans which . have been grown with corn will yield a better profit when harvested as compared to leaving, the beans in the field to be gleaned by hogs. "Harvesting the beans is much bet ter than turning the hogs into the field to eat them after the corn has been removed, says L. W. Anderson, Perquimans County farm agent. , "For a number of .years," he said, "farmers in the county have been growing soya beans with their corn, hut did not try to harvest the beans, since the corn stalks prevented the uee at a harvester. 1 "Many of the growers were satis fied, as the beans improved the land and provided feed for their hogs without reducing the corn yield. "But some of the more thrifty farmers noticed that seed from most varieties of soya beans do not remain in the pod long after they become mature. They fall to the ground, ab sorb moisture, swell, ferment, and lose their feed value. "The fermented beans frequently cause stomach disorders, especially in young pigs. "With this in mind, some of the leading garmera began harvesting thg com as soon, as it matured, and cutting down the stalks. With the stalks out of the way, they were able to save the soya beans with a har vester. . . "In this way they are able to se cure, a normal crop of corn and of beans from each field. "Moreover," he said, "harvested beans can be crushed into meal and the oil removed . . Dry meal is prefer- able.to whol Jwans as hog feed, for it does not produce soft, oily pork." 55 Attend Meeting Of Bethel P. T. A. The P. T.

Oakey, Jr., in speaking be fore the Hertford Woman's Club on Monday appealed to the women of Hertford to demand of the law en forcement officers of Perquimans that they do no less than their duty. "When a man placed in the capa city of a law enforcement officer does less than his duty there should be a protest, and something more of a protest than the mere casting of a ballot against him," said Judge Oakey. "There should be some indig nant protest." "The courts and the law enforce ment agencies," he said, "render no better service than the people de mand. The public, after all, makes the law, and the public must enforce it. You won't get any better en forcement of the law than the public demands, and you have had some pretty poor enforcement in this coun ty in the past, because the law en forcement officers have not had suffi cient pressure brought to bear upon them," he said. Judge Oakey referred to the fact that he had recently taken the stand that every man convicted in his court of drunken driving must serve a term in jail. "The public," he said, "has backed me, but they have only back ed me withwor&8."Ttiny get the brunt Out of the four or five that I have sentenced to jail for driving an automobile while dsunk there have grown dozens of conferences, people coming to me to urge that this or that particular offender be spared the serving of the jail sentence. 1 have been confronted with that sort of thing until I have felt discourag ed," he said. The speaker called attention to the shocking number of persons killed on the highways of North Carolina and stated that the situation is growing worse, in that more persons were killed by automobiles in North Car olina during the month of October than had ever been killed in any one month before. "Automobiles," he said, "cause more law-abiding folks to get into trouble than anything else." He re ferred to the numerous traffic laws, some of them ridiculous, but stated that we ought to be very particular about observing those laws which were especially made for our safety and protection. In reference to the back seat driv er, Judge Oakey said it was no long er considered bad manners to drive from the back seat. "I am inclined to think," he said, "that a whole lot of you women can drive better from the back seat of an automobile than some of the men can from the driv er's seat." "It is time for the people to stop yawning over this death trail on the highways," he said, "and do some thing about it." "The public is entitled to more protection than it gHs," said the speaker in reference to the growing lists of prisoners pardoned and pa roled, many of whom commit worse crimes after they have been given their freedom before their terms ex pired than they had committed be fore placed in prison. Instead of ap plying sense, they are applying sen timent," he said in reference to the actions of the parole and pardon boards in a great many of these cases. "The courts are your courts. You are the ones who ought to stand back of the law enforcing agencies and see that the laws are enforced. An organization such as this can ef fect a great deal of good," he said. Judge , Oakey's address was the feature of the program of the Civics Department under the chairmanship of Mrs. R. T. White.
