Shelby Cotton Mills, Shelby, n. c..
writes: I'VE note in the CleNeland
Star, copied from your paper account
of game we played in Yorkviile last
Tuesday. However, it was the Shelby
Mill team and not Ella as you have it.
Yorkville has a nice clean bunch Of
boys and we enjoyed the game with
them very much. We thank you for
the nice account of the game and trust
to have your boys play us here in the
near future"
Fall Irish Potatoes.
Discussing fall Irish potatoes yester-
day, John r. Blair of Sharon, York
county farm demonstration agent, said:
Now is the time to begin planting the
fall crop of Irish potatoes and to get
best results they should be planted
from the 10th to the Goth Of July. Irish
potatos do best on a deep, moist, rich,
we'll drained soil which is not too hard
and compact The ground should be
well broken and narrowed thoroughly
and should be done week or ten days
before planting in order that 1t might
get q rain and settle down to insure
plenty Of moisture to bring the pota-
toes up at once They should be plant
ed in 3-foot rows, to 10 inches apart
in drill and covered to depth Of 8 or
tel chnn11 hc well
fertillzed with say about 1000 POUNDS
of fertilizer analyzing about per cent
acid, 3 to per cent ammonia and
per cent potash"

we'll TO warrant him in making Il de-
cision.

ments on one side and then on the oth-
er side, but failed to reach conc!u-
sion.
Mr.. Brice said that at first blush
the proposal to enter the northern part
of this town from point to the SOUTH

view of the greater expense OF 'ne
more direct route and the fact that an
