prices. If for no other reason than
this, farmer should hesitate to cross
breed. Keep in mind clearly the diff
ference between the purebred and the
crossbred. The purebred is the off.
spring Of two purebred parents Of the
same breed. The crossbred is the
offspring Of two purebred parents of
different breeds. A crossbred can
never be registered, even If each of
It's parents was a breed champion.
II cross breeding is inadvsable,
however, grading Is advisable and ls
recognized as the quickest economical
way OF building up herd. Grading IL
the mating of purebred with scrub
or with a grade. Generally the pure
bred used Is the sire and the scrub or
grade Is the dam. Grading Is perfectly
safe because all the power Is on one
side and the results can be predicted
purebred Angus bull mated with
scrub cows will produce calves Of
which more than eighty per cent are
pure black and hornless, such Is the
power OF pure blood over mixed
blood. There is no better way for the
young breeder to begin than with q
grade herd and purebred sire In a
few years he can make his herd as
profitable as purebrcds and will have
learned how to take care OF pure.

The dangers Of travel by sea at this

Smut is caused by a parasitic
growth that lives in the tissues OF the
plant The disease spreads by spores

cling to the hullS or lodge in the
creases OF individual oat or wheat
grains and are thus carried into a
field with the seed. The spores germi.
nate at about the same time. that the
plants come up and the disease grows
directly into the tissue OF the young
plant.
Smut lives in plants apparently
without doing serious damage until
the plants begin to head out. Then
tho disease concentrates its efforts in
the heads and black, sooty masses Of
spores fill the places where grain
should form AS these masses break
up. the spores are scattered over the
field by wind. Many lodge in grains
on healthy heads OF oats or wheat and
remain alive there until the seed are
planted again Some remain in the
diseased heads and are carried to the
thresher. In threshing, the smut
spores are scattered everywhere and
many find resting places in healthy
grains.
Oat or wheat smut can be controlled
by soaking the planting seed in a
chemical solution that will kill the
smut spores in the seed without injur-

The most serious limiting factor in
Southern agriculture Is lack Of humus
in the soil. The easiest and most
economical way to get humus, in the
SOIL is by growing and turning winter
legumes. This also enables a farmer
to get nitrogen from the air and cut
his fertilizer bills.

Manure is subject to heavy losses
from several sources. For instance,
many farmers lose practically all their
liquid manure, yet this contains moro
valuable plant food than the solid.
There are number Of ways to save
stable manure and every farmer
should exert himself to get the most
possible out Of his manure.

Dynamiting On Dix River.

A man who lives near the mouth Of
Dix River has reported ;hlt within
the last few days two SeraIaie squads
of dynamiters had been up DIX River
about two miles from high Bridge,
and had violated the fish law. He said
also that great quantities of dead fish
of various sizes and varieties were
floating down the river last week, and
that all the rivermen knew about it.
He declared that four men. who said
they came from Lexington, had hired
a boat and went up Dix River; and
that night the roar of dynamite ex-
plosions was heard by people who liv-
ed along the river. No one knows
where the other party came from nor
who they were, and their presence
was only made known by dynamite
explosions in the night and the
swarms of dead fish on the surface of
the river next day. All the river bot
toms residents, having realized the
efficacy of the fish law by their
catches this spring, are now bitterly
opposed to dynamiting and netting.

BURGLARS AT MCKINNEY
Attempt Made To Blow Safe At Nc.
Kinney Roller Mills

Burglars made an unsuccessful eff
fort TO rob the Mckinney Roller Mills
at Mckinney Sunday night. In some
way they must have been frightened
off, however, for after demolishing
the combination of the Dig safe, their
efforts seemed to have stopped, and
entrance was not effected TO the safe.
Had they been able to accomplish their
purpose, however, their efforts would
have been fruitless, for the only thing
of value contained therein was a
bunch of checks. which they would
probably have been unable to cash or
realize upon. There was no money in
the safe at the time, Manager Brad
shaw is glad to report. He was COM
PEELED to get machinist to open the

work to do il, as the effort to blow
the combination had badly sprung it,
