Famed War Spy Went
to Her Death Alone

During the Civil war there were
many spies on both sides, some Of
them women. From Memphis, Tenn,
there came to serve the Confederate
cause. Virginia B. Moon,- girl so
full of pep that everybody called her
Miss Ginger" 1t is said she had no
fear of death. She carried morphine
and dispatches through the Union
lines. Twice she won release from
her captors by. exercising her wiles
on them.e She was first arrested in
Cincinnati by an officer who was once
chief of General Grants staff. She
was commended by Jefferson Davis for
her work. AS heart-breaker this
girl was no SLOUGH; she boosted of
ii bona fide proposals she had spurned
when a southern belle.
In her later life Miss Moon did some
acting for the movies; then she settled
down in New York-alone. She died
recently at the age of eighty-one.-

"Even where we use summer and
winter leguxes for soil Improvement,
the main crops have a larger acreage
and therefore the cover crops planted
are not sufficient to maintain the sup
ply of organic matter" says w. F.
Pate, fertility agronomist at the North
Carolina State college. "This being
the case, 1t is necessary to pillow under
the crop residues such as corn stalks,
cotton stalks, tobacco stalks, peanut
vines, grasses and other vegetative
matter. This will help to keep up the
supply of organic matter"
Professor Pate states that the sys-
TEN of farming generally practiced in
North Carolina tends to deplete the
amount of organic matter in the soil.
This causes the soils to wash and the

cases, where soil has yielded smaller

Then, in nearly all cases where the
soil is increasing in crop producing
power, the supply of organic matter is
increasing.

Bad Housing Conditions
Cause Various Diseases

Colds Of poultry which are similar
in many respects to the colds of the
human family. should be regarded
critically as they may be the forerun-
ner Of more serious trouble, such as
nasal or ocular roup, diphtheria or
birdpox.
Poor housing conditions cause many
flocks to acquire colds, especially in
the fall. Chicks should be trained to
roost as soon as possible. as this al
lows circulation of air around their
bodies. Dampness in houses should
he particularly avoided. Chickens that
do, not have sufficient feed or the
proper kind Of food acquire Seolds
easily. A balanced ration consisting
Of approximately equal parts Of mash
and grains. supplemented with plenty
of succulent green feeds. is one of
the best representatives..

and drinking utensils. It also includes
the control of both internal and exter-

Storing Seed Beans to
Keep Little Weeyil Out

A problem that often confronts the
farmer and housewife who wishes to
keep some of the seed from the garden
is, how may this seed be stored to
keep the bean weevil out? If the
beans are kept only for eating pur-
poses. one may heat them before put
ting them in a box. sack or fruit jar;
or boiling water may be poured over
them. However. for seeding purposes,
neither of these will work. In this case
the beans should be thoroughly dry
and put into fruit jar with camphor
gun. A small amount of the gum is all
that Is necessary as 1t is strong and
lasting. Usually the, eggs are laid in
the beans before they were hulled and
the gum must be used to help in con-
trolling the young weevils when they
hatch. II the seed is put into an open
coptainer the beans may become, con
taminated or infested. So they should
be kept In jar or something that is
tight enough to keep the adult beetle
or bug out.

Fall Is Best Time for
Spreading Ground Lime

The fall Of the year Is usually the
best time for the hauling and spread
ing Of ground limestone. The stubble
fields are usually hard and the roads
mostly good and the field work not so
pressing as in the spring. Some farm
ers have used hydrated lime at the
rate Of about 200 pounds to the acre
and received good results with it.
Where the haul is long from the rail-
road siding, this type Of lime treat
ment for soil is worth trying. because
of the reduction Of labor. Some men
have hauled the crushed limestone in
contractor dumping trucks and then
dumped the ground limestone at the
end Of the fill and then spread with
lime spreader.

that law without public sentiment
