Will Enlarge Norton Plant.

AT meeting of the stockholders of
the Norton Car and Foundry Company,
held at Norton On last Friday, it was
decided to increase the capital stock of
the company from $4,000 to $40, 900
and accordingly the books were opened
for a new issue of stock to that amount.
Of this amount to be sold, $22, 900 was
subscribed Friday and a meeting will
be held on June 14th for the purpose of
receiving this money and issuing the
stock for same. Local parties and those
interested in the development of large
industries in this coalfeld will be among
the new stockholders. 1t is probable
that c. S. Bateman, of Bristol, who has
subscribed stock to the amount of sew
eral thousand dollars, will be made gen
eral manager of the new plant. The
old building will be torn away and
new brick building will go up in its
place. Work on this will begin about
June 25th.

Ten things 10 Do This Month

% Keep the cultivators going. Lev
ell, shallow, frequent cultivation il what
the crops need at this season. Don't
cut the corn and cotton roots by deep
blowing.
(2) Plant cowpeas, soy beans, velvet
beans, peanuts-some iegume that will
work twenty-four hours day for you
gathering nitrogen, making money and
building up the land. Put in all stubble
lands not otherwise employed as soon as
the oat or wheat crop is taken off.
(3) Save all the crimson clover seed
possible. II no clover huller is available,
the seed can be beaten out. by hand and
sown in the chaff.
(D Get the mower in good running
order. See that ali bolts are tight, the
knives sharp. the guards gu straight,
and the bearings well oiled. A mower
is splendid weed killer IA we'll as a
necessity in the hay field
(5) Plant late corn and potatoes.
Keep up a succession of garden crops;
beans, tomatoes. sweet corn and other
vegetables should be planted this month.
Fresh vegetables are cheaper and better
than meat or store-bouVht foods.
(6) Spray the apple treas again with
Bordeaux and Paris, and the late peach
es with limesulphur. Plow cut the first
year strawberry beds and plow up the
old ones.
(O Look after the work stock Cut
out some Of the corn thsss hot days and
substitute cotton seed meal, oats or pea
vine hay. See that there is enough
shade and water as we'll as grass in your
pasture.
(8) Fix up bathroom OF some sort,
go that you can free yourself from dust
and perspiration at the close Of the day.
1t will prove invigorstiHg, add to your
sense Of dignity and enable you to do
better work.
90 Keep up the warfare against flies
and mosquitoes and so help ward off
typhoid fever and malaria Screen the
doors and windows, drain the stagnant
pools, and look after the breeding places
of the flies.
(1O) Prepare for the Farmers Insti-
tutes in your section, and if there are no
Women's Institutes in your State, keep
after your officials until they are started.
