Hot Baths Induce Sleep

A hot bath taken before going to bed will frequently so relax the nerves and muscles that sleep is possible as soon as one lies down. It is always well to have some light refreshment by the bed to take if one Is awake, because no person who is hungry can sleep.

A Reminder Of The Jumper

Messaline and crepe de chine black, white and colored blouses are made up with Valenciennes lace collars yokes and sleeves or with detachable net gulmpes. Some of these blouses bear strong re- semblance to the erstwhile popular jumper as the silk bodice is deeply cut out above the shoulders and the silk sleeves bare- ly cover the elbows Rows of tiny silk covered buttons ornament the narrow bias bands outlining the underarm seam of the sleeves and crossing the shoulders to /t the waist at both back and front.

A Kitchen Don't

When making a furniture polish out of beeswax and turpentine, one must never place these ingredients on the stove in order to have the wax and turpentine blend Serious accidents have resulted from just this thing. If the wax Is cut in small shavings, covered with turpentine and set away for few hours, it will be ready for use Turpentine always should be kept where there is no possible dan ger of it's taking fire.

Too few or North Carolina's citizens
realize that the opportunity TO pur-
chase lands cheap in this state is rap
ldsy Passing. Some twenty years ago
North Carolina contained millions Of
acres OF lands which were sold for
90 cents to 81 per acre. Today some
Of these lands which have been dovcl-
oped. ana arc among the most pro.
ductiYo lands of the State. are selling
from s25 - s1O0 per acre. There are
still large tracts OF lands und evelopcd.
and from which the timber has been
cut which were formerly sold for 50
cents an acre. selling today from 50
to $40. But cheap lands are getting
scarce. Since 1900 the price has been
advancing steadily, and almost before
the hcmseekcr it, the cheap lands In
North Carolina viii be a thing of the
past.
Tho census of 1910 will show what
per cent. OF the people Of this State
own their own homes. Think OF North
Carolina with her many thousands OF
square miles, and yet with all these
spreading acres, a large portion OF the
white people are tenants and have to
acknowledge the overlordship Of some
own foot OF ground the passing Of
cheap lands should stir him to action.
The homeless man should buy lands
now. Ten years hence, if the prog
ress and development keeps pace with
the ten years passed, the price OF
lands in this state will bc more than
double their present value, ana some
lands Will even exceed ten times their
present value.
The climate OF North Carolina and
especially this section, is delightful
both winter and summer. IT is an
easy matter TO find land here to suit
any one coming from other states. no
matter what crop he wishes to raise
or what business he expects TO en-
gage in. For Instance. here, in Lee
county, our lands have proved to be
about at well adapted to the proiuc-
ton OF corn and cotton as land in any
other section. This fact, coupled with
our excellent railroad facilities and
the healthfulness Of our climate, is
the reason why the cheap lands IN this
section and throughout North Caro-
lima will soon Be 4 thing of the past

BIG PROFITS ON TURNIPS.

This article written to the editor of

w. Thompson, Of Graham, is very in
terestlng:
My best crop this year was turnips
| began the preparation in January
| had piece Of new ground grubbed
off, and cOltered two or three times
and about tho first OF March + had
the land pioWeG closely with buil-ton-
que plow, and used the disk harrow
on it several times. / then spread a
thin coat OF stable manure over the
land. plowed ii under with q small
turning plow and used the disk ha =
row again until the land was in a
fine condition. [ then planted the land
TO Irish potatoes. [ Uttered the po-
tatoes with "otten straw. digging the
potatoes about the last OF June, /
plowed under the litter and used the
disk harrow few times.
About the middle of August
plowed the land again, and used the
disk harrow and then q heavy drag
harrow 10 level the land l then sotyed
turnip seed broadcast, using the Pur
pie Top White Globe var lcty. l then
sowed broadcast, over the land hich
grade fertilizer, at the rate of 400 lbs
to the acre, and covered both seed and
fertilizer with a drag harrow. 1t was
said TO be the finest patch OF turniIs
ever seen in this community. The lar
gest weighed about pounds. 1 sold
81 large quantity very readily az so
cents per oushel and have put up quite
q quantity for winter use.

the average cost per acre would not
exceed $40. and the market value
would be $24O, leaving a profit OF $220
less the cost of marketing them, win ch
for me would not exceed $40. Thus
we have a net profit of $500 per acre
By sowing clover, cowpeas, and rye,
turning them over. thus adding humus
to the land, deep, thorough plowing,
using as much stable manure as pos
sible, together with a very liberal SUP
ply OF high grade fertilizer judiciously
applied, so as to give rapid liant
growth at the proper time, thorough
preparation Of the land just before
planting with good frequent and
timely cultivation, I believe a small
farmer can make the largest profits
per acre, by raising such crops as
sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes and tur-
nips.
almost equal to that Of my turnins
and they were grown on raw land. /
have commenced preparing about six
months ahead OF my vegetable crops
next year, having SoWn crimson clover
and rye. Have Ii acres soWn in rye,
nearly all Of which is intended as
a cover crop for the land. My inten-
ton is to make the land grow soma
thing OF value and not nOxiOus weeds
and worthless grass. And, by the way,
the modern farmer need not tangie
his brain by studying what he thinks
are the best methods for killing weeds
and worthless grass. Frequent culti-
Vation with labor saving implements
will do it.

Recently Mr.. s. B. Worthy gave
us some very fine pecans which grew
this year In the orchard on his farm
near Jonesboro. The trees from
which these nuts were gathered this
fall were planted about 20 years ago
and about a dozen Of them are now
hearin 5 or bushels Of nuts Wore
gathered from these trees this year.
These nuts are Of delicious flavor and
sell fo~ IS cents per quart. Mr.. Wor-
thy also has on his plantation several
acres planted In Walnuts. The young
trees are growing nicely. and In few
wears Mr.. Worthy will have the finest
walnut orchard in Lee county. A good
walnut tree, it is said, will bear Is
bushels of wa1nuts. When it is re-
rnembered that Walnuts sell for one
dollar or more per bushei it IS at once

EROanOke ChOwan TlmeS.)
Farmers in the RoanOke-Cho"-s an
section are preparing to make more
corn, cotton and peanuts TO the acre
the coming year than they nave been
doing heretofore. The acreage Will
hardly be as large in cotton and pea
nuts, but the shortage in acreage will
most likely be made UP in greater
yield per acre. The high price OF
corn will stimulate greater efforts to
raise enough for home use.
Scarcity and uncertainty Of labor
the Introduction Of improved farm
achinery, the attendance upon farm
ers' institutes and the reading Of good
farm papers ell contribute to the
change in farming that is Ia king place.
and this change means great deal
for the betterment of our section OF
the country. Heretofore We have
been planting too many acres. We
need to adopt more intensive meth

With the betterment Of the meth
