Peach Growing Culls From
frof. Hutt's Visit.

While in the county, Prof. w.
N. HUT visited about a dozen
prospective orchard sites around
Rockingham and Ellerbe. Itnow
looks as if several hundred acres
will be planted to peaches in this
county this fall and winter.
Worth Remembering
ID Nothing but high, well
drained land, with a good air
drainage should be planted to
peaches.
e. If you would not enter into
competition with the Georgia
peach, plant Hiley Belle, Georgia
Belle, ]. H. Hale, and liberia
varieties, with liberia constitut.
ing so to rs per cent of your or
chard, on account of its populari.
ty in the market.
81 Plant, for best results, in
Nov. or Dec, and plant June
budded" trees, 2 to 3 feet high,
distanced 20X20 feet, and head
back to Is to "a inches-about
knee high.
"a When trees begin growth |
m spring, apply to each tree two
pounds of $40 Fertilizer, increas-
ing the amount one pound per
tree. Then change from $40 to
$40 fertilizer the fourth spring.
You want ample potash to give
flavor, firmness and color to the
fruit.
% First year new grounds
should be avoided ON account of
wood lice.
6) Unless you are prepared
to cooperate with other growers
for shipping in carload lots, bet
ter plant not less than so acres
to begin with.
0 Sow peas, velvet beans or
SOFA beans in summer, and rye,
or rye and vetch in early fall.
Turn these crops for soil i'm.
provement and for conservation
of soil moisture.
Moore county will ship 1000
cars of peaches next year. Prices
this year averaged $3.50 to $500
per crate, and a car averages
about 500 crates. It is, therefore,
seen that Moore county will have
a peach income of a million to a
and a half dollars next
year. Prof. HUT says that Rich
mond county has a better soil for
peaches than Moore. He, DR..
kilgore and others are putting !
out an orchard at Marston as
of their faith in Rich.
mond peach prospects.
He says that there is no danger

Eddy-GloVer Post Officials to Con-
slider Case Of HOlStein Park Team

There will be a meeting tonight of
the athletic committee of the Eddy
Glover post, American Legion, to
consider the case of the Holstein
Parks basketball team representing
the local post. The team has been
playing under the name Of the Amer
lean Legion and has been about
clearing expenses up until last week
when they played only one game. A
small amount was due out of the
posts treasury, and it was the sense
of the committee who heard the orig
inal proposition that the posts treas
ury would not be used to finance the
organization.
Matters were brought to a head
when the team played only one game
during the week, and it brought such
a condition Of affairs that officials Of
the post were forced to talk with
Frank Herman. the manager OF the
Ho1stein Parks and find out the root
of the trouble. 1t came out in the
conversation that the players eX-
pected $50 a. week for their services
and thatamount was not forthcom-
ing. One of the players says that he
has a wife in this city and has not
been paid in three weeks.
Lawyer Stanley Traceski has been
asked to submit a contract at to-
nights meeting to clear up the situa-
tton. It will. il passed, give the Ed
dy-Gloyer post a clearance of $40
