tant feed crops, so why not make
it q paying crop by increasing the
production per acre this year?
First, use good seed of good To-
cal variety if you have not been
able to get adapted hybrid seed.
Use 800 to 500 pounds of 6-8-6 or
5-7-5 fertilizer per acre. If you
have had soil analysis made,
use the fertilizer recommended
by the soil testing division. Side
dress with 200 pounds or more of
Nitrate of soda when the corn is
az feet high or at the second Gull
tivation. Prepare a good seed
bed and do most of the weed kill
ling before planting and after the
corn comes up by a thorough har-
rowing. After you have prepar-
ed your corn land ready for plant
ing, take time to harrow it again
because a good seed bed will add
bushels of corn to the yield. Also
practice shallow cultivation at all
times. Deep civilizations destroy
feeder roots and decreases corn
yields.

Farming Notes
BY r. II. Grouse
County Agent

Hog production can be made
very profitable in Ashe county it
proper feeding and management
practices are followed. Lloyd
Witherspoon is keeping three
brood sows and plans to have SIX
this fall because they are proving
profitable. He contributes his
cheap production of hogs largely
to the whey he hauls from the
Kraft Cheese plant in West JET
ferson and also by, having some
pasture for his hogs instead of
keeping them in a dry lot or pen.
He says he saves at least two
thirds of the feed bill by feeding
whey and grows better hogs.
Thousands of gallons of whey
is being poured down the stream
from the cheese plant because
they have no other way to dispose
of it unless farmers will haul il
home for feed. This is valuable
feed for hogs and poultry going
to waste that could be turned in
to cash by Kraft Cheese patrons.
Wouldn't this also be a contribu-
ton to the war effort, as well as
making money for you?
Corn is one of our most impor.

HEALING SPRINGS. w. J.
SPLIT DOUBLE-HEADER

In two close games, played on
the Healing Springs court Monday
night, the Healing Springs All
Star girls lost to the West Jeffer-
son sextet, 22-19, and the Heal
ing Springs All Star quint nosed
out the w. J. high school five,
1927.
Vivian Johnson was high scor-
er of the girls game, looping in
IA points to lead the visitors.
Neither team was able to get a
comfortable margin and the out
come was uncertain until the
final whistle. Mona Belle Good
man played an outstanding game
at the guard post. Shirley Cox
and Co., played brilliantly and
the close play of both teams kept
the spectators on their toes dur
ing the entire contest.
The Healing Springs All Stars,
aided by heighth and experience,
finally nosed out a quick breaking,
clever high school quint from w.
j., 1927. Carl Wyrick was out
standing for the locals while
Francis and Cooper played fine
games for the winners.
Both games were rough with
many fouls being committed by
both teams. The entire proceeds
went to the Red Cross Fund.

Weekly Items OF Interest To
AShe Farmers

D. F. Porter says that if you
don't believe strip cropping will
pay on sloping land, you should
try it once and then notice the
difference in the crib of corn. He
points out that fact alone will
justify strip cropping to say MOTH
ing of the way it saves soil from
going down the river.
c. T. Shepherd, of 1dlewild,
says that Korean lespedeza has
proven to be one of the best hay
crops he has ever grown. He
stated that the quality of lespede-
"a hay was better than any kind
he had ever fed. Mr.. Shepherd
was comparing the cost Of seed
ing lespedeza with that of red
clover, and he stated that he
could seed 40 pounds Of lespedeza
per acre for one-haH the cost OF
seeding 20 pounds of red clover
per acre and that he had rather
have lespedeza hay than red Glow
er.

Serecia has passed the expert
mental stage in our county. II
has proven to be one of our best
hay crops. This fact is evident
in that more farmers are seeding
sericea this spring than ever be-
fore. The only reason more will
not be seeded is the shortage OF
seed. The following is partial
list of farmers who are seeding
serecia for the first time: J. w
Neaves, Coy Francis, M. H. Wad-
dell, Robert Murray, c. T. Vaught
Ed Cox, w. L. Mcmillan, J. w.
Dougherty, T. E. Hartzog, C. H
Sheets, Walter JONES, A. r. Shu-
maker and J. E. Sturgill.
Someone has expressed our
sentiments in regard to sericea
when they said, 'Sericea may not
be king in the south but it is the
power behind the throne"

In Music

Once again Oran "Hot Lips" Page

standing trumpet in the other
Leaving the big 80 piece Artie
Shaw band early in the year, where
heAswas featured attraction, Lips
carefully shopped around until he
had formed an organization to his
stringent liking.
Appearing at the Colored Skat-
ing Rink on Nov 7, Lips looks
back at the days when he boosted
an ordinarily slight salary while
playing his trumpet in carnival
shows around Texas during high
school vacations. Even while
youngster, Oran offered more than
the average performer. Then, it
was the sight of the little fellow
supplementing his hot horn toot-
ling with blues songs and a Dallas
jig. Now he and his band play the
blues with a style and character
that II years Of music have taught
him.
Besides his sensational trumpet,
Lips has played. the mellophone and
drums and his first professional
engagement was with the Original
Blue Devils. The Blue Devils band
was under the leadership of Benny
Moten whose untimely death turn
ed the band over to Count Basic.
1t was at this time that Lips or
ganized his own band and went in
to Smalls Paradise, where, upon
his first engagement with his or
chestra, he was held up for almost
full year. He has recorded on al
most all of the reputable labels
and has recently made an album
for Decca known as "The Kansas
City Album" and which included
Andy Kirk, Count Basic, Pete
Johnson, Eddie Durham, Joe Turn
