The old-time custom Of home curing
meats, revived during the war has
been given added impetus in the last
few years and many farmers are ac-
lively engaged i'm preparing their sur
plus supply for table and sale.
There is no reason why every farm
should not have q modern nlokehouse
and the resulting supply of well-cured
meats on hand through the winter sea-
son. Prices for old country hams make
1t worth any farmers time to lay in az
big supply as possible.
! Solid Concrete Is Best.
Many types Of smokehouses are In
use, ranging from the old type of Il
barrel with one head knocked out to
the most modern and pretentious af-
fairs Of solid concrete with double Fad
locked doors. The latter type is grow

OF Its many natural advantages. A con-

has big economic advantage through

WOULD PUT BENCHES
ON COURTHOUSE SQUARE
Merchants Association Head Starts
Something In That Direction.

Indestructible metal lawn seats and
gravel walks on the courthouse square
is the latest dream of +. i. Spencer,
head of the Retail Merchants Ass0-
citation. Mr., Spencer has talked it
over with Chairman Noah Burfpot of
the County Commissioners. and while
Mr.. Burfoot is too cautious and re-
spectful to speak for his fellow COM
missioners, he. is himself favorable
to Il suggestion that the county pro-
vide the gravel walks if some one Csc
will pay for the benches or lawn seat.
Mr.. Spencer has already started out
to solicit donations of lawn seats.
He thinks there should be fifty 0f
them, but probably will try for a dozen
or fifteen to start to sec how the
public takes to them.
We haven't an inviting place any
where in town for our own folks, say
nothing of visitors, to get out on the
grass and under the trees and sit
down." says Mr.. Spencer. ITS rotor
ious too that there isn't a decent
spooning place in town for young
couples who want to get out Of the
house in the evening. About the only
places they have to spoon is Holly
wood Cemetery and the CauJcp
bridge, unless they take to the coun-
try in an automobile"

JAPANESE WANT OUR
SOY BEAN HARVESTERS
Elizabeth City Invention May Revo.
iutionize Bean Culture In Orient

Tho the soy bean is a native of
Asia and has been great food staple
in Japan. Korea and China for many
centuries. it remains for an Elizabeth
City North Carolinian to show the
Asiatics how to harvest the beans
by machinery. The Scott Sales Co.,
of this city is corresponding with the
NTtubishi Corporation of Japan who
are about persuaded to introduce the
machine method of bean harvesting
in that country. The Asiatics continue
to thrcsh out their beans by hand,
using thousands of cheap laborers to
do the work that a relatively small
number of machines will do.
Machines for the threshing of soy
beans were not invented until the
soy bean was. introduced into North
eastern North Carolina about forty
years ago. The bean thrived so we'll
in this section that it soon became
a staple crop and its extensive culti-
vation called for machine methods of
harvesting. i. S. Gordon, an Eliza
beth City man, invented the first
successful soy bean harvester and
marketed it for years without opposi-
ton.
Frank V. Scott. of the Scott Sales
Co.. is not anticipating land office
business in bean harvcsters in Japan.
however. The japanese will buy one
or two machines maybe, and that
will be the last he will hear of them.
If the machines suit them, they will
build additional machines them
selves.
One Of the largest manufacturers
of fast printing presses in America
sold one printing press in Japan. He
expected to sell twenty more. But
when the orders failed to come he
investigated and found that the willy
Japs had taken that one printing
press to pieces. duplicated all the
parts and were building his presses
in Japan. And that's about what
will happen in the case of Scott
Bean Harvesters.

NORFOLK MARKET GLUTTED
WITH UNDERSIZE CHICKENS

Encouraged by the continued high
prices for spring chickens, many
Northeastern North Carolina farmers
made the usual mistake and glutted
the Norfolk market last week by
cleaning up their yards and shipping
in everything that had a feather on
it. It was not an unusual sight on
Roanoke Dock in Norfolk last Satur-
day morning to see coops of chickens
containing many small birds that
were so small in fact that they could
Mt pass as broilers. The result of
course was demoralized market.
The farmer who let's his birds fill
cut before shipping them to market
is always the gamer in the long run.

George f. lIcNutt. engineer "f the

In two places on the Camden Ferry
Road the road has sunk Il foot or two
and is covered by water at high tide.

there will be any.
