Ship Building at Beaufort.

Beaufort-An enterprise that bids
fair to be of much benefit to Beaufort
and to this community was started
here in a small way some weeks ago.
The name of this concern is the Beau
fort Shipbuilding Company and it be-
gan business without any flourish Of
trumpets or the usual brass band
methods of publicity that accompany
the launching of important ventures.
Indeed so quietly has this concern
gone about it's business that many of
Beaufort's own. citizens do not know
of its presence here.
The capital has been furnished
mainly by New Bern people. w. B.
Blades, of New Bern. is one of the
principal stockholders and the late NJ.
M. Marks of that city was interested
in it. Mr. Blades is in active control
of the business. As it's name indi-
Gates the object is the building of
vessels and it already has valuable
contracts. Five barges and a large
fishing schooner have already been
contracted for. Work has already
started on these contracts and will
be pushed as fast as circumstances
will allow.
The various building projects that
the national government is carrying
on all over the country are making
railroad service very uncertain and
also draining the country of carpen-
ters. AS soon as these difficulties can
be overcome work at the shipyard will
20 forward in a lively fashion. Y. A.
Williams, of New Bern, an experieced
man, is in charge of the yard and
hopes to have a large force at work
at an early date.

MOTORCYCL|ST IS KILLED.
Winston-satem Boy PIunges to Death
Over Bridge Near Lexington
Another Boy Injured.

Lexington--Hace Green of Wins.
ton-Salem was instantly killed about
three miles north of Lexington, when
a motorcycle on which he was a pas
senger plunged Off the end Of high
way bridge and on to the tracks of
the Southbound railway, forty feet
below. Green's head struck one of
the rails and was split open. One
shoulder and arm were also fearful
ly mangled and crushed.
Marvin Shore, who was driving the
motorcycle, was knocked off by the
impact with a piece Of timber railing
at the end of the bridge and fell to
one side in the grass on the bank,
while Green and the runaway ma
chine took the fatal plunge through
the air.
Both are young men and under
stood to be unmarried. The motor
cycle was coming toward Lexington
and was speeding at a very high rate;
it is reported, down a mile stretch
paralleling the railway track, before
the road approaches the bridge, which
crosses the track at right angles. Ap-
parently the driver of the motorcy-
Gle did not see the bridge until too
late to check his speed to make the
turn. At this same spot one or more
automobiles in the past have gone
over the bridge and on to the track,
at least one with fatal results.

suits" in which boomers take the place
Of petticoats as matter of conven-
fence and good service. This particu-
lar model is made with a skirt, to be
worn over the boomers, when the bust

this outfit will serve as q morning
dress for marketing or general, every

to be taken of, If work lies in the

away from the fact of the greater con-

ham is proceeding toward the estab-
lshment of a crushing plant in the
near future having an output OF 100
tons per day.
At the last meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture, Major Graham
requested authority to overdraw suffi-
GENTLY to establish this plant. Then
the board required the commissioner
to have the limestone where it was
proposed to establish the crusher,
analysed by the state geological board
before spending the extra money in
the erection Of the plant.
Major Graham has made public the
analysis of the geological board, the
state oil chemist and the bureau of
soils, Washington. The geological
board found the calcium carbonate
contents of the lime to be, in five
samples, 1919 per cent; 93.34 per
cent; 1913 per cent; 1884 per cent,
and 1851 per cent.
Mr.. Plummer, the state oil chemist
found samples submitted to him to
contain 94.79 per cent; 1858 per cent;
1851 per cent.
The bureau of soils found two sam
pies to contain over 95 per cent.
Major Graham, who has made a pet
Of the states lime producing qualities
icy several years, is enthusiastic
about the present prospect. In 1915,
he persuaded the legislature to make
provision for furnishing lime to the
farmers Of the state at cheaper rates.
Under authority then granted, the
state secured control of lime deposits
in Eastern North Carolina.

No Vacant Land This Fall.

cit would be a wise move for every
county in the state to adopt the motto
of No Vacant Land This FALL says
Mr.. S. G. Rubinow, Assistant Direc-
tor of the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice. Where rye, wheat or oats will
not be sown, other cover crops should
be put in. Not only is such step
very patriotic but it is also very profit
able. With wheat at 81 per bushel for
next season and with a short rye and
oat crop this past season and high
prices likely to be obtained for these
crops, there should be no doubt as to
the financial end Of the situation.
But even more import ant than all
that-With ammonia selling at IS a
unit in some cases, making 10-4
fertilizer worth $40 to $45 ton, cover
crops this winter can assist materially
in reducing the amount of heterogeneous
material that should be used. The
farmer can meet these high prices
next spring by having a crop of nitro
gen to plow under in the form of green
manures rather than in the form OF
high priced chemicals. The supply OF
these latter is also liable to be short
during the coming year, making them
still harder to obtain by the average
farmer.
The farming public Of the state re
sponded nobly during the past season
by increasing the acreage devoted to
food crops and they are now busy saw
ing perishable food stuff. BY contin
ing these efforts throughout the win
ter, putting in land to fall grains
planting winter gardens, and seeing
that enough cover crops have been put
in to do away with the nitrogen bill
next season, they will again prove that
they are most patriotic and thorough
ly foresighted."

The work of the Red Cross society
s so vast in it's scope that 1t takes
some time to become acquainted with
all it's activities and it's purposes. But
the more the public learns Of it's pres
ent organization the better for the So
ciety. because knowledge inspires con-
f1dence in It's methods and in the bus1-
nesslike administration of its finances.
Anyone who wishes to get a compre-
hensive view of the society, to know
it's history and work, may find all the
information in a book called "Under
the Red Cross Flag" by Mabel T.
Boardman, chairman Of the National
Relief board, American Red Cross.
The American Red Cross Of today
operates under new articles of incor-
poration, created by act of congress
and signed by President Roosevelt
January 8, 1905. This gave the soci-

all countries having Red Cross soct-
ETY. the organization is made to suit
local conditions, but in each country
the governing body is entitled the cen

tee of the American Red Cross consists
of 10 members. The president Of the
United States appoints the chairman
and representatives of the depart

Idle Land Means Exhaustion.

Idle land in winter means that the
soil is being exhausted both winter
and summer-in summer by growing
crops and in winter by the rains leach
ing out valuable plant food, is the
thought being put before the county
agricultural agents by G. r. Hudson
There is an economic necessity that all
AGRICULTURAL lands in the state have
some growing crops on them this fall
and winter but the reason that most
North Carolina soils sadly need good
content of humus is one OF the most
important from the standpoint of the
farmer who want sto keep the fertility
of his land to the highest point.
Humus comes from decayed vegeta-
ble or animal matter and from that
onlv. Cover crops in the winter are
one of the best agencies for supplying
this organic matter. This In turn IS
a plant food and helps to make other
foods available for the plants. 1t also
improves the physical condition OF the
soil.
These cover crops also will this year
help in the production of cheap feeds
for livestock. Concentrates and grain
feeds of all kinds are going to be high
in price, scarce, and much needed by
humans. Where there is home grow
ing crop, a good reduction may be
made in the amount Of grain feeds
given. In most cases the animals may
be put on a half ration of grain When
this is supplemented by green grow
ing crop.
Permitting the soil to lie idle thru
the winter is equal to robb1ng 1t OF
valuable humus. This is because the
rains take pleasure in removing all
soluble material. In mild climates
like that which prevails in our state
during the winter, bacterial activity
goes on uninterrupted. except in cases
Of extremely cold weather, these Dac'
terra turn all available supplies into a
form that makes them easily d1ssolv-
ed by rain water and carried water
IF there was a growing crop to take
this material up, it could be turned IN
to the soil next year in concentrated
form by blowing under the crop OF
feeding It to animals as pasturage.
