THE termination OF
CRIMSON CLOVER SEED

since November 1, 1913, there have
been imported into the United States
2,32a,883 pounds Of crimson clover
seed. This seed comes mostly from
France and Austria. where the
harvest season is practically the same
as In this country. The time for seed
ing follows the harvest season so
closely that only a part of the i'm
ported seed IL received in time to
be sown the year 1t ID raised. II the
conditions of storage are not the best
the seed may lose materially In
vitality between the time OF harvest
and that OF seeding the next year.
New seed OF good quality Is free
from any brownish color. but old
seed shows varying degrees OF brown
according to age and conditions
under which 1t has been stored. The
brownish color Ia an indication of
poor germination---the darker the
color the poorer the termination.
Seed which shows a slight brownish
color should be tested for germina-
ton before sowing. and no brown
seed should be used unless germina-
ton test shows 1t will grow well.

STONE INDUSTRY IS
HARD hit BY WAR

Mt. Airy. n. c.. sept. 5.-rhat the
European war has hit Mt. Airy's lead
Ing industry hard Is evidenced by the
fact that the North Carolina Granite
company's quarry here IL working a
smaller force than usual at this season
of the year. A number of 1aborers
have been laid OF on account Of the
decrease in the demand for stone by
the contractors and outside sources.
and 1t is estimated that compared with
last year at this time the working
force 10 reduced go per cent.
1t 10 only by comparison that this
magnificent enterprise il feeling the
effect Of the times. for It probably en-
plays 400 men now. while q year ago
there was perhaps 1000 men on tho
payroll. There are about $50 stone
cutters. at work now against nearly
400 last year. and Of the so paving
makers kept busy last season only
about is are now EMPLOYED. This Is
owing to the fact that all, large street
contracts are usually let about mid
this season. and. Of course. these con-
tracts were not given out. Another

SUGGESTIONS TO
CORN CLUB BOYS
HOW TO GET READY FOR THE
FAIR AND A BIG
TIME,

The county demonstration men In
charge of the, Boys Corn clubs are
now visiting the boys for the last
time before the fair. says the Houston
Record-Advertiser. II has been a
very discouraging year to both big
farmers and little farmers. But the
Corn club boys are all figuring on
what they are going to do next year
Their idea is to improve each year
OF course they do not expect TO win
the biggest prize the very first year
but when they get their land built
up there will be some kind OF big
corn growing.
Every boy wants to measure UP
his corn just as If he had a prize
Yield because good sport should
stick to the race TO the finish. Then
every boy who measures UP and sends
his report and the best ten ears 10
South Boston will get free ticlset
to the fair and share In the big Corn
club doings on that day. Next year
prizes will be offered to the boys
making the biggest improvement In
their yield over this year. So it Is
very important that every boy gel
his report in to have q chance at this
prize for Improvement next year.
That's what counts anyway. Any
body can make fair corn on rich land,
but the Halifax boys are going to
show how to build up any old kn4
OF land, and win prizes for buildins
It up.
Some boys are going to be very
much surprised TO see what good
corn they did make in spite of dry
weather and not a few win be prize
winners Nest of the boys re
going TO let their corn stand so that
the lisinterested parties who meas
ure It up will see II all taken on the
stalk. That is fine plan. Also many
boys will trade work and help each
other gather and measure the corn.
They can then sign each others re-
ports to say everything il done fair
and square It is big point to do
the measuring so that even the
msanest and most jealous person In
the world couldn't md any room to
kick.
Leaving the corn to stand and get
dry and thoroughly ripe makes 1t
much better for seed. too. Most OF
the boys are going through thefy corn
and marking the eafs they want to
save. BY picking them in the field
they know what kind OF a stalk the
ear grew on.
Halifax County Boys' Corn club
has made a record to be proud Of this
year In spite of great difficulties.
When you come to the fair at South
Boston you can see what they have
done. Then prepare to be more sur
prised next year

SEPTEMBER IDEAS
FOR BUSY FARMERS

Regardless of the low prices and
in some cases the lack of any
market whatever for cotton. the
crop should be picked as rapidly
as possible to avoid injury and
waste in the fields. September
weather Is uncertain, and the
driving gales that sometimes come
during this month are disastrous
to the white cotton fields. BY
picking cotton as rapidly as IL
opens Instead of waiting until No
vem Der, we are sure that at least
one bale in ten will be saved from
actual waste and loss. to say moth
ing of the better grades obtained
by early picking.

We wish again to call attention
