This paper desire® correspondence
from all sections of the county.
The past few days has been sim
mer weather.
Beauty is goodness made visible.
Then our hills manifest the good
ness of the great Gardener, who
planted them with laurel and rhodo
dendron.
We should be glad to receive a
copy of the old song which has the
following words:
“To the pines, to the pines
Where the sun never shines,
You’ll shiver when the cold winds
blow.”
A bullfrog stands no chance when
Cl eve Nichols looks over the sights
at one. The writer and Mr. Russell
enjoyed a few hours sport watching
Cleve plug the big ones. And a
pair of frog legs for breakfast is not
to be scoffed at.
The goodly number of citizens in
town Monday bespeaks the interest
people have in county affairs. There
was an atmosphere of good fellow-1
ship and hopefulness in the crowd.
Not once did we hear depression
mentioned. The New Deal has
turned our faces toward the dawn.
The writer of this article is a;
lover of dogs—good dogs, but when
a dog reverts to habits of the wild
and becomes a killer of domestic
animals, that dog, in our opinion, |
ceases to have any value to human
society. Sheep are valuable and
should be protected from the depre
dations of dogs turned desperados.
A great financier once gave this
rule for success in business: Put all
your eggs in one basket and then
watch the basket. That rule may
work for a great corporation, but it
does not seem to apply to the busi
ness of farming. The man who de
pends upon one crop rarely ever be
comes so successful as the farmer
who practices diversification of
crops.
An income through the summer
is very useful to a farmer. To pro
duce first of all enough foodstuff
for home use and then sell the sur
plus makes for successful farming.
The farmers of Alleghany are to be
commended for their got>d showing
in diversified farming.
FARM NEWS

Farmers who wish to sell their
lambs through the pool this year
should sign the contracts at once.
Only the lambs which are signed up
will be sold through the pools.
There were 25,514 pounds of
wool sold through the pool this year.
It is generally understood that we
will receive 32c per pound for our
wool. For the last four years the1
Pool price of wool has been higher
than the outside price at the time
of selling.
The two largest crops of wool sold
this year were those of Mr. J. F. |
Cox with 845 pounds, and Mr. J. H. .
Waddell, w'ith 686 pounds. These'
men refused to take the low price t
offered last year and they had two
crops of wool to sell this year.
Lawyer Crouse has a three acre
field of certified Irish potatoes grow
ing on his farm on Peach Bottom;
Mountain. This is the finest fedd i
of potatoes that I have seen growing
in the county.
Fred Andrews used 16 per cent
superphosphate on part of his field
of corn and 16-4-4 fertilizer on the1
rest of the field. Where the 16-4-4
fertilizer was used the corn is more
than twice as large as where the i
16 per cent fertilizer was used. Mr.
Andrews also has a fine set of clover
on his oat land wrhere a crop of
clover was turned under for corn j
last year and the land was turned
back for oats this year.
