When TO Sow Wheat anG Cats.

If the fall crop is oats, the time
for sowing will vary with climate as
with wheat. In the upper part OF
our territory early September is
certainly the best time for sowing
oats, while further south October,
and till the first Of November, may
be better.
For wheat sowing, l would never
SOW till there has been a light frost,
so that there will be no longer dan
ger from the fall fly, for if the fly
gets in in the fall, you will certainly
have it in the spring, too.
How much seed to SOW will depend
largely on the land. l would never
SOW less than two bushels Of oats,
and usually five pecks of wheat an
acre. On thin land, heavier seeding
of wheat is needed than on strong
wheat soil where the plants will till
er well, and l have seen one and a
half to two bushels of wheat sowed
to advantage on thin land, while on
very strong soil single bushel may
do as well. But as an average, five
pecks of wheat an acre will be found
not far from ht.-Raleigh On. c.

home And EDUCATION.
The Mother, The Child and The School
Important Subjects.

All club women, mothers and
teachers will read with interest the
expression Of opinion given below
from the pen of Mrs. R. R. Gotten,
president North Carolina Federation
of Woman's Clubs:
"All that helps the mother in the
training of children; all that gives
to the child higher ideals of life; all
that brings into closer union the
nome and the school should be wei
coined and utilized. The After
School Club Of America seems to
nave woven into one strong cord
he three important factors in life,
the mother, the child and the school.
with the marvellous facilities for
education along the most vital of all
lines, the study of training of child
nature, its specialized organization
to meet these special demands, and
it's array of child-welfare workers,
who are giving time and talents to
this work, the After School Club
cannot fail to be a blessing to all
who share its benefits.
"The home council department
seems Of special value, because it
reaches the individual mother and
helps her solve her Individual prob
lem in child training. 1t is the indi-
vidual mother, in her universally
upon whom primarily devolves the
solution of racial problems, and what
helps her helps all humanity.
Hoping the After School Club
may reach and help every mother in
America. Cordially yours,

CARE OF FARM TOOLS.

The following editorial from the
Smithfeld Herald is worth the con-
sideration Of our farmer readers
just at this time. The Herald says:
"Now that the crops are about
laid by, all the tools and implements
should be looked after and placed
away carefully under good shelters.
As soon as possible, all necessary re-
pairs should be made on them. If
repaired now they will be ready for
use when needed again. There is
too much money invested now in
tools and other farm implements and
machinery for them to be left out
in the weather or not properly
Sheltered If left exposed to the wea-
ther they will not last half so long
as i protected. Farmers who have
not sufficient shelter room might
find time now to build some shelters.
Shelters are the least expensive of
all the house room, and it is surpris-
Jag that so many farmers are short
of room Of this kind. They are
needed for stock and to pack away
feed as well as to house the tools
and implements. 1t is a sign of
poo~ farming to see hoes, plows,
cultivators, rakes, mowers and 9th
er implements left in the fields to
rot and rust away.

Now that the Canadian reciprocity
bill has passed attention is directed
to the real benefits that will be de-

the cost of living by admitting free

used as staple foods.

had HARD TIVE GETTING SAVAGE.
Sheriff j. A. House, CT Halifax County,
Game Near Losing Prisoner.

Sheriff J. A. House, of Halifax
county, N. c., left the city last night
with negro in custody, who was
arrested for him yesterday afternoon
by Patrolman Jesse H. Garris, of the
police department, on Governors
warrant, issued by Governor Mann,
for the arrest of Sam Savage, want
ed as fugitive from the chain gang
in Halifax county, where he was
sent up for assault with a deadly
weapon.
The negro denies that he is Sam
Savage but stood firmly by the
statement that he is Mason Jones,
although the solicitor of the Second
North Carolina district, who came
here with Sheriff House, confronted
the negro with the declaration that
he is Sam Savage, travelling under
false colors.
Sheriff House went away from the
city firmly intending to report to
Governor Kitchin, of North Carroll
ma, the difficulty he encountered IN
getting the negro in his custody.
He came here two weeks ago for
Sam Savage, but Deputy Sheriff
Dennis, in charge of the county Jail,
was told by Mason Jones that he
wouldn't go to Carolina without re-
QUESTION papers. Furthermore, the
negro told Sheriff House at that
time, Deputy Sheriff Dennis declares
that he isn't Savage at all. Sheriff
House couldn't say positively that it
was Savage, the jailor says.
The Halifax sheriff returned on
Thurday with warrant from Gov
ernor Mann, for the arrest Of Sam
Savage, but Deputy Sheriff Dennis
told him he didn't have such prison
err in his jail, and he consulted Cap
tain Kapper and Attorney Bagby
about releasing Jones to Sheriff
House. They advised him not to de
so.
Justice Duke went down to the
Jail yesterday afternoon, however,
and wrote release papers for Jones,
Sheriff House and Constable Harrell
being on hand to re arrest the negro
when he emerged from the prison.
He saw Constable Harrell standing
in the hall waiting for him, and he
ran out through the rear Of the jail F.,
and out into the street.
Patroleman Garris, of the city de-
partment, jumped in a passing auto
when he heard of the negro's escape,
and he overhauled him at County
and Middle streets. He was locked
up in the city Jail, and was taken
away by Sheriff House last night
on the Seaboard train.
Deputy Sheriff Dennis declared
last night that he was perfectly
right in refusing to release the negro
to Sheriff House on papers other
than those made out for prisoner
in his Jail. AS for the negro's escape
through the rear of the prison, wher
he was about to be re-arrested, he
was not responsible for that, he says
