SAVE THE CORN ROOTS.

The illustration shows why deep
cultivation of corn after the root syS-
TENS have been formed is destructive.
After the corn is we'll started the roots
spread out often from one row TO
another, interEacing in the middle. A
ploW ripping along between the rows
at a depth Of from TO inches will
cut off the roots and very materially
slacken the growth of the plant af l
cut short the yield. The first cultiva-
ton may be fairly deep, but after that
the surface of the soil should only be
stirred lightly 1t should be stirred fire
quently, however, in order to create
a dust mulch and maintain the moist
ure about the roots Of the corn.

Sandhill Soil is Drought Proof il
Filled With HumuS.
(SOuthern Pines TouriS


The present long period of dry and
hot weather has again shown the Won
derful quality of the soil of the sand
hills. For many weeks there has been
almost literally no rain, a few small
showers being the SUM total Of the
rainfall. some of the showers yielding
too STALL an amount Of moisture to
make d record on the instrum ents.
In spite of this most crops are not
seriously injured Oats are badly hurt;
gardens, in many cases, are dried up;
crops put in during the dry spell have
not terminated satisfactorily, but
things once up and a stand secured
have not as yet suffered very much.
1t is not meant that the same amount
of growth has been made as if the
weather had been normal but it is
thought that if rain comes before
Ions and comes in abundance. as it
most likely will, the injury to main
crops, except oats, viii not be very
great.
Reports from the cotton sections are
12ther dlScCuraglng. but the truth
about the cotton crops cannot be told
yet; much depends OF the amount of
rain in the near future. The early
cold weather did much more damage
to cotton than the present dry wealth
er iS doing. 1t is said that the cotton
seed will remain in the SrOund for a
long time and then respond to nlcis-
tLle and make a ctisflctory show
ing.
The sandhil soil fools great
many peorle At first blush one would
say ttat il would be the first to feel
the effects of a drought ard that
drought would mean failure of all
crops. AS a matter of fact there are
few soils that better withstand
drought than this same soil. especial
~ when the right treatment has been
given to it. e., when it contains
sufficient humus. Under the sand is
a clay subsoil which acts like an i'm
mense reservoir, holding the water
and storing it up in a bed Of sand
clay-bottOmed. until it is needed and
then. by capillary attra cton. the
moisture comes to the roots and feeds
them long after plants set in many a
richer soil die for lack of moisture.
The secret of success in the sand
hills lies in the storage of moisture in
the largest possible quantities. Given
the clay subsoil. at workable depth.
the farmer seeks to fill the sandy soil
between the surface and the SubSOil
with the largest amount of humus,
which is simply another name for de-
cayed vegetable matter that will re
inforce' the soil and hold water in
precipitation as largely as posi- BILE.
Through clear sand water will quick
ly percolate If this sand is filled with
decaying weeds the vines of cOwpeas
or other leguminous crops or the
plOwed-in stubble of small grains or
winter cover crops, 1t makes of
the soil huge sponge. holding large
quantities Of moisture where it is
easier for the crops to get at it than
if it must be drawn from the sub
soil, and the sum total that IS held l.
Doubtless much larger when the soil
is filled With humus The insstent

women are sacrificing years of their lives

''It is we'll known fact thousands Of
women in all countries OF the world use

National tuberculosis Day

April 80 has been set aside this year as
Tuberculosis day and will be observed in
thousands of churches in the United
States In manner similar to that of the
tuberculosis Sunday in 1910, when over
40, 900 addresses we're deliVedo on the pre-
veption of consumption u the first
official announcement OF the occasion
made by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of Tuberculosis,
the leaders of the movement state that
they hope to enlist all of the SO, 600 coo
church members in the county. In one
respect Tuberculosis day differs iron
Tuberculosis Sunday Of 1910. Instead of
requesting the churches to give to the
tuberculosis cause special Sunday ser.
vice. the national association is going to
ask this year that meetings, at which the
.su biect Of tuberculosis and its prevention
can be discussed, be held on Sunday,
April 80, or on any other day near the
date, either in the week preceding or tue
week following.

Oh; Abused Woman |

Yours is hard lot indeed, oh, woman.
Ifyou don't choose to love at all they
cali you Indifferent.
If you have ceased to be in love, they
call you inconstant.
A woman can manage to keep her love
secret, but never her hate.
II you don't know whom you love
or whether you love at all, they call you
tickle.
Itis not necessary nowadays for brainy
woman to advertise her cleverness by
wearing her belt badly.
Men continually study women, and
nothing about them; women never study
men, and know them all.
II you love anyone else but the one
they want you toloye, they call you false,
and only when. you give yourself to him
whom they think you ought to love are
you called loyal.
Above everything else in the world a
woman admires moral courage in a
man, but her knowledge of anatomy is
SO hazy that she thinks braod shoulders
or biceps may be the seat Of moral virtues.

The object Of the change is to get q bridge

east Of its present course.
Electrifcation of the Delaware Division
for local trains is also said to be one of
the projects to be undertaken within the
next three years. When the double.track-
ing of the Delaware Division and the New
York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad,
from Delmar to Cape Charles. is finished,
it is said the Pennsylvania Railroad Com.
pany will run its through seaboard and
Atlantic Coast Line connection trains TO
and from the South over the Delaware
and N. Y. P. & N. Railroads by way of
Norfolk, instead of down the P. B. and
W. Railroad by way Of Washington ss ct

hoursin trip TO the South, as we'll as re-
