WANCHESE WILL PETITION
CONGRESS FOR A HARBOR

Citizens at Wanchese, Roanoke Isl
and, are circulating a petition stressing
the disadvantage under which the viii
lage is laboring, for lack of a harbor.
This petition is to be signed by citi-
zens of Roanoke Island and will be
presented to Congress, asking that body
to take some steps toward dredging a
channel into the land. The present har-
Dor is unsafe at certain times and is
half a mile from high land. Freight
must be taken ashore by small boats
and passengers must make the balance
of the trip thru the intervening marsh

Farmers Who Provide Green
Feeds Make Money with
Hogs

Many farmers IN Tennessee seeded
rye and crimson clover last August and
several have seedsd spring oats and
rape for hogs, Those who have done
this are making profit out of hogs to-
day, while those who do not have hogs
have a crib full Of corn, say specialist
Of the Division ofIExtension. The farm
er who bas green feed raises his feeder
pigs, while the farmer who has a crib
full of corn and no green feed has been
buying his feeder pigs heretofore, he
says today that he cannot afford to feed
hogs. What be really means to say is
that the other fellow will not sell out,
for bis business is making him money
Feeder pigs are scarce; corn is plentiful,
but those fellows who raise their pigs
and produce green feed have the the
inside track toward the spring market,
they cay,
Every farmer with 100 acres should
plan a smell field of corn and soybeans

Fruit Growers Should Ascer
tain Freeze Loss and Spray
if Crop Warrants

Fruit growers in the sections aft ect-
ed by the recent freez should ascertain
Immediately the damage to their or
chards in order that they may know
what spraying will be needed, say
sp eeilists of the Division of Extension,
University Of Tennessee. Without
thisi knowledge they may lose money
by failing to spray when there is enough
of crop left to warrant it, or waste
money Oy spraying when the crop has
been destroyed.
The extent of the damage must first
be ascertained, il is said. Of course,
as 1.-The season advances and the buds
develop it is easier FOR the grower to
gauge the prospect for crop; but for
some time Immediately after the freeze
it is necessary for him to make care
full painstaking canvass of the whole
orchard inspecting each variety of fruit
10 every part of the tree to determine
the damage edone, This ia done by
splitting the buds, the centers of which
will be blackened and the stems dis
colored, If the frost was fatal.
Where there is enough of the crop left
to justify spraying, this operation should
by all means not be neglected as the
shortage Of the crop will probably re-
suit in prices that will make the ex-
pense unusaly worth while. Publica-

Some Of the advantages of terrscing
are:
1t saves the soil. The loss thru sol
washing amounts to many thouand dol
lars annually in West Tennessee, large
areas being made vslueless. Terracing
prevents soil from washing; helps hold
the humus conserves. the moisture; pre-
vents flooding the bottom; keeps the
hillside subsoil off the productive bot
toms. controls the water 80 that one can

to build up the humus content of the sol
The deserts of Tennessee are the

green weight is water, If only 13 in

One More Week To Pay 1920
Taxes

Upon making inquiry at the Office
of County Trustee j. T. Jordan this
week The Falcon learns that about
1000 taxpayers in Fayette county
have paid their 1920 state and county
taxes, There are between four and
five thousand who usually pay taxes
each year. and about one fourth of the
number have paid to date.
The entire tax budget for 1921 for
the county runs little above $3.50, 900
and the Trustee $ books show that of
this sum only 500. 600 have been paid
into bis hands to the date of our visit
to his Office. in round numbers one
third of the entire tax bu dget for
last year yet unpaid and only one
more week in which to pay before the
taxes become de linquent on may /.
Such condition has rarely been seen
in Fayette county before. il having
been for ages past one Of the most
punctual counties in the state to pay
its taxes, it having been custom the
late B. F. Murrell to send his annual
report to the Comptroller first of all
the trustees of the state. And the
list of advertised land sales for delin.
quents in the county has been one OF
the smallest in the state. Il is to be
regretted that this record must be
broken this year, tho it now seems il
will be, as on Mayl, just another week

SUBSCRIPTION $500 A YEAR

The Falcon acknowledge receipt Of q
pamphlet sent out by the coal interests
in which It Is urged that consumers of
coal, private and industrial, buy their
coal for next winters use in order that
miners may be kept busy thru the sum

kept busy during q dull season. And it
ma rs that this lie the only way the public

ducements of any nature whatever for
the public to buy, Coal is higher than
ever known at this season Of the year
in peace times, with the possible ex-
ception Of last spring. and freight
rates are at their peak and are bound
to come down. They may come down

Towering Shrubs Need Prun.
ing as Much as Fruit Trees

Towering shrubs need pruning as
much IS fruit trees, says Charles A.
Keffer, Director, Division of Extension.
The early blooming shrubs such as the
deutzias, mock orange, towering cur
rant ealliearpa, calycanthus or sweet
shrub. white fringe, forsythia or golden
bell, Kerris, the bush honeysuckle. all
varieties Of roses, golden elder. the
snowballs, the spireas and weigela,
all require heavy pruning for best re-
suits. The best time to prune them is
as soon as the blossoms fade. If prun-
ed now they will have the entire season
in which to make the new growth that
bears the flower buds. Ifpruned heavily
in winter much the greater part OF the
new wood is cut away, and all shrubs
named produce their flowers on shoots
made the previous season
1t is never best to cut :back ornsm-
entail shrubbery to a fixed line. unless il
is planted as hedge. Instead, with
most of the varieties named, some new
shoots should be encouraged from the
ground, land the remainder should be
pruned at varying heights, so that the
entire shrub will be covered with new
growth.
The Towering ounce, or japonics,
has been unusually beautiful this spring
1t is related to the apple, andits flower

shoots except two or three each year
The lilac can be trained tree shape
with a single trunk, if desired; in which
case the branches should be thinned jus
after blooming.
Roses require very heavy pruning. Al
