COMMON-SENCE FARM
TALK BY JOHN PAGE
The cotton and corn and all
other crops will grow fast now,
with the warm weather and sun
shine,* and they need to be push
ed with constant work and close
cultivation. I see thousands of
acres of corn and cotton in the
State “ridgedup,” notwithstand
ing the volumes that have been
written and spoken against such
practice and the constant advice
of the farm demonstration agents
to the contrary. Flat ^ and shal
low cultivation is the only pro
tection the farmer has against a
drouth. It is not too late now
to get the benefit of flat and
shallow cultivation this year for
those who will begin now. Use
side harrows, the spring tooth
harrow and the geewhiz, and let
the cultivation be not over two
inches deep. This" will pulverize
the soil and make it loose, and
continued cultivation this way
will give you a coat of dust on
top of the ground. This will
hold the moisture in the ground.
The sun cannot evaporate it
through the dust. If you throw
up deep fresh plowed ridges the
sun will evaporate all the mois
ture and none will be left for the
plants. If you will leave it
where it is and scratch it on top
and make a dust blanket the
moisture will stay down in the
ground where the roots can reach
it and get it.
It may be that you broke the
ground too shallow and you feel
like you ought to let your plow
down'and loosen up the ground
so thp roots can get about. If
so, you made a mistake in not
breaking the ground deep enough
in the first place. However, do
not make two mistakes by plow
ing deep now and throwing up a
ridge to the row and taking the
soil away from the roots in the
middles. Remember that the
plants must have food the same
as you, and that they take all
their food in liquid form. It is
the ends of the rootathat take in
the food,, through tne moisture,
and the ends of the roots are
continually pushing out in the
middles. Remember, too, that if
you put your plow down deep
next to the row you are going
to break off a lot of the little
roots that are drawing moisture
and feeding the plants.
Prepare for drv weather by
plowing shallow and often.
Don’t allow avcrust to form on
the soil. When it does the sun
will draw out the moisture and
starve the plant. Don’t quit the
crop too soon. Cultivate your
crop as long as you can without
damage to it. When the plants
| are putting on fruit they need all
i the food and care they can get.
! When you fatten hogs you do
j not put them up and feed them
| until they are in -good order and
then turn them out to get fat,
but you keep on feeding all they
will eat, because you know when
they are in good condition they
| will put on flesh faster. Treat
| your crops the same way—it will
' pay you. John H. Page,
! Commissioner of Agriculture.
j A full list of donors to the
Red Cross fund in McCrory and
| vicinity will be printed next
week, several committees having
not yet completed their canvass.

SHOE HOSPITAL
THE SHOE SHOP CALL
Our hammers beat to save your feet
From wearing a ragged shoe.
Give us a trial and after a while
Your work will come back new.
Our stitches make a perfect rake
Across an existing rip;
You’re in luck to interest your pluck
With such a swoopiug tip.
The leather we use is not refuse,
But, rather, ’tie true as steel.
We make this raid to get your trade
True work is our seal.
Now, don't let those heels turu like wheels.
Or let those tongues come out,
But leave them here in our care
And have them fixed up stout.
Don’t let those soles wear full of holes,
Nor rips run on unchecked.
Whene’er we lose our pride in shoes,
'Tis a sign■*-ambition’s wrecked.
Now heed this call, you great and small,
Old as well as young,
Now sing a hymn of comfort’s rim,
He*-e before unsung.
