SURE MILK

When you get to the bottom
of the milk question, do you
find the cream of the profits
or the skim milk of the pro-
fits?
1t pays to feed a grain
concentrate, such as Suremilk
in addition to the roughages
used, such as alfalfa and sill
age, or a mixture of clover
and timothy hay, because
large as a cows stomach is, it
is too small to hold enough OF
the roughages alone for maxi
mum milk production and still
maintain body health. The
day isn't long enough, nor the
digestive tract big enough In
a cow to get necessary nut
rients from coarse feeds for a
flow of milk that will more
than pay for the cows keep.
Sperry Suremilk is designed
to be used in addition to the
available roughages, so as to
provide the correct amount OF
nutrients, enabling the cow to
produce efficiently and keep
your milk can full. Suremilk
is made from our own choice
millfeeds, recleaned ground
oats, ground corn and ground
barley, soya bean meal, cocoa
nut meal and linseed oil meal.
These grains are ground to
such a granulation as to make
them easily assimilated and so
combined with the oil meals
and millfeeds as to make a
feed yielding greatest profits.
You cannot afford to be with

What is Tapiocca

So many people are of the
opinion that tapiocca is made
\ of grain that we thought it
J might he of interest to our.
readerk to know JUST where it
comes from andp how it is
made. re f
@The popular starchy food
stuff tapioca is prepared from
Cassava and is largely import
sd INTO America from Brazil,
TIE Strait Settlements and
West Indies. The Cassava
plant belongs to the milkweed
family and grows wild in two

from both kipds. The plant

the. poison is eliminated. 1t
is only necessary to heat the

Kitchin' S Successor
In CONFESS VIII Be
Named on October 8

WILSON, n. c., Sept. 29.-Voters
of the second North Carolina con-
gressional district will go to the
polls October to name a successor
to the late Claude Kitchin, for many
years a leading Democratic figure.
The three candidates for the place
are Judge John H. Kerr, of Warren
ton; Richard AllsbroOk, of Tarboro,
and n. James Bouse, of Kinston.
A second primary before the cleo
ton in November may be necessary,
political experts believe. The gem
eral election in November will mere
ly ratify the action of the prima-
ries. There has been no indication
OF Republican opposition.
Representative Kitchin's father
was in congress before him and an
effort to name a son of Claude
kitchin to the late floor leaders,

scoring one touchdown in each pc.
Rod. Oglethorpe scored by means
of q beautifully worked triple pass
in the first period and by Maurer's
long run after a tumble in the sec
Ond period. The work of Wycoff,
fullback from Arkansas. was the
outstanding feature of Techs play
while Maurer's two runs for touch
downs featured for Oglethorpe.
Georgia caught Tartar in Mer-
Ger and won only by the score of
Z to 0, the result of blocked kick
recovered by Captain Joe Bennett
when Simmons attempted to punt
from behind MERGERS goal. Georgia
gained a great deal of ground but
didn't have the punch against Mer-
GERS last ditch defense.
Up at Charlottesville, Furman

by defeating the University of Nir-
ginia. score 10 to 10. The forward
passing of the South Carolinians
