son to figures given of the dates Of the

not due to ebb back until the first part
OF July when the first OF the wheat is
harvested and is exchanged for money.
The third Liberty loan and financing
farmers is credited by local bankers
with being the two things responsible
for Shrinkage OF about $lOWOOOO

have shrunk a great deal. Checking

GROW|NGACROPOF0 OATS

or all the cereals, oats, with the
exception Of rye, has the widest adap
tation for North Carolina conditions
Oats when put In properly and given
good opportunity to grow will ordl
narily produce very good returns on
well drained lands, although 1t Is
little late to SOW this crop In the
upper Piedmont section of the State,
yet In other portions Of the State oats
may be expected ordinarily, to produce
good returns when put in properly this
late or a little later, and fortified in
telligently. Oats cannot be expected
to give satisfactory returns on poor
land unless the land receives an appli'
cation of manure, or fertilizer, or ma.
nure supplemented by the right kind
OF fertilizer application.
A small piece of land properly pre-
pared should produce goodly
amount Of feed for stock next year. 1t
Is certainly not creditable to North
Carolina that hay must be bought
from other sections In this time OF
expensive feeds 1t would certainly

strong effort, in this State, this year,
to put In the necessary acreage to feed
crops so that the needs Of the stock
on our own farms can be taken care
Of. With little extra effort this can
be done easily.
Where small amount of crimson
clover or vetch seed is available, 1t
will be well to SOW these with the
oats. they will materially improve
the quality of the oat hay next year
Good standard varieties of oats for
this State are the Appler and Red
Rust Proof of the later maturing
types; Fulghum and Burt for earlier
maturing.
In putting in oats, as of other small
grains, it will be necessary that the
seeding is not delayed too long. or
the small graias-probably rye can be
seeded latest with safety, but even
with this crop the earlier seedlings.

NOVEMBER is THRIFT MONTH.

The Agricultural Extension Service
OF the College of Agriculture and the
Department Of Agriculture Is calling
attention to Governor Bicketts proc
lamation in which he designates the
month of November as Thrift Month.
Director B. W. Kilgore has called on
all of his co-workers to advocate and
spread the doctrine of this proclama-
ton to all with whom they come in
contact. The farmers of North Caro-
lima have had an unusually prosperous
year during 1917. and if the money
which they have received for their
products is frittered away, very little
permanent good will result
Governor Beckett has called into
consultation several men prominent in
agricultural work in North Carolina
and has asked their aid and co-opera-
ton In putting the matter of Thrift
Month" before the farmers of North
Carolina.
The committee has decided on eight
specific accomplishments which the
average farmer can do and which will
be of value to him later on. These
are:
/. Buy a liberty loan bond.
2. II he be a Tenant, to buy. II pos.
sible a small farm a"d mike the frs;
payment on the purchase price.
8. To pay off all debts and go on
cash basis next year
4. To start saving account in
some bank or credit union
5. To buy a milk COW or brooding
SOW
6. To install home waterworks and
lights.
Z To paint his house.
s. To set out an orchard.
Most Of these matters have had the
attention Of the Extension Service and
Experiment Station for many years
Always they have been encouraged
and urged Now is good time fo-
them to be put in operation. Not ev-
cry family has a good milk COW, and
therefore does not realize the value
and profit to the family by such
possession. With the high price of
pork a brood SOW would be most
valuable possession In those rural
homes where the home demonstration
agents have succeeded in having wa.
terworks and lights established the
housewife has considered them the
greatest boon yet received.
There is no need to call attention to
the importance Of paying off all debts,
for these impoyerish, discourage and
make fretful, spell disaster and com
fortress old age. In many cases they
paralyze the will Of the debtor and
make him incapable Of his best efforts.
Thrift Month" is valuable limo.

fulness of our governor and should be
followed carefully by those who have
profited from the unusually good
prices Of all farm products.
