NOTICE TO The FARMERS
OF THIS COUNTY

The European war is likely to
cause much old seed of crimson
and other clovers, as we'll as of
hairy vetch, rape, and so on to be
thrown on the market this fall. You
must be careful, therefore, to have
your seeds tested before sowing in
order that you may know how
much more of these old seeds to
SOW to get a normal stand.
Better look out for poor seed oats
also. Better let us terminate them
for you before sowing. Many COM
plants came to us last spring and
fall from failures to get stand of
oats due to poor seed. Address all
seed packages to the NORTH CAR
OLINA SEED LABORATORY, Ra-
leigh, N. c., and put your own name
and address inside the package.

big expositiens and thirty six dis
trict and county fairs Throughout

hibits taking in county and and dis
trict fairs in Iowa, Minnesota, Wis
cOnsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
New York, Pennsylvania and Con-
necticut, while special displays on a
more elaborate scale will be made
at the great Canadian National Ex-
position at Toronto, Canada, and at
other expositions Since the begin
ming of the 1914 crop season, agents
of the land and industrial of South
ern Railway Company have been
at work gathering representative
collections of agricultural products
including grains grasses. vegetables
and fruit from every state served
by the system. Large photographs
showing farm and ,other views in
the South will also be used. The
exhibits will be in chrage of agents
thoroughly familiar with the, condi-
tons in the South who will be on
hand constantly to give informa-
ton desired about any locality.
Special leaflets and booklets have
been prepared and several hundred
thousand will be placed in the
hands of visitors.
In addition to the exhibits to be
made at Northern fairs and exposi-
lions. Southern Railway and affili-a
ed lines will make educational ex
hibits at large number of South
ern fairs, detailed announcement of

Cucumbers belong to the same family
as the gourd and the melons They are
supposed to have been grown In India
ages ago.
Tomatoes come from Peru and Mexi-

were introduced into North America,
they were known as love apples
Apples were eaten by the ancient
Romans because OF their health-giving
properties. They are natives Of Asia,

very much like the crabapple which
is now used for jelly.
There has always been more or less
botanical controversy about the an
