Dog Opens Grave To Die With His Pal Ripley, Tenn., June 4.?A story recently showed the undying: love and affection of a dog: for his master. '"Spot, a net dog:, had lived with John S. Hendrix, an elderly recluse, in a home on a bluff near the Mississippi river, near here. When Hendrix died, Spot was the chief mourner. Hendrix was buried by neighbors, and Spot was taken by iSammy Smith, a farmer. "Spot refused to eat. Three days later he disappeared. Thinking that the dog probably was looking for his old master, Smith went to the home of the recluse. v There he found Spot had dug a hole in the grarve and was lying, dead, on the box that held Hendrix's coffin. r-.. ' Spot had died of a broken heart. Smith covered the grave.u.

Right now in June is the time to prepare the soil for a good fall garden, so let us take time by the fore look and get ready for a recordbreaking fall garden, first to have an abundant provision for our own families and u surplus to heJp those who are not so fortunate as .to possess one in thts period of drastic adversity. However, "where there is a will there is a way" and ahnost every family can raise some vegetables somewhere. "Ho that provideth not for his own household is worse than tho infidel." So be it. Plan, plant, produce, provide and prosper! Following is a table of vegetable planting for June and July: Corn, Stovell's Evergreen, Country Gentleman and Golden -Bantam; beans (Ibunch string beans), Late Refugee and Stringless Green; beans (pole). Round Kentucky Wonder and McCaslain; collards, Georgia, Georgia Southern or Cabbage Collard; cabbage seed (June Planting), Hastings' or Burpee*! Matchless, New Stone, Greater Baltimore and Marglobo Wilt Resistant. These seed should be planted in, June. Transplant in June: Tomato, sweet potato, eggplant and pepper for fall; the last week in June plant mustard, blackeyed peas, CusHfcw, white egg turnip and Hubbnrd Squash; set tomato plants if you can get them, seed may be planted until June 20. j Mulch the vines from spring planting with straw leaves or litter to I conserve moisture and produce a longer fruiting season; tomato plants may be transplanted from June planting .of seed from August first to September first. o Secure Lookout-Mountain Irish Potato seed and plant in July from 15th to August 1. If you happen to have any storage Irish Cobblers left over from spring use those as planting seed. Did you ever make a Lazy Man's Bed of Irish Potatoes for fall? If you do not crave work it is a very convenient project to controk iSelect your plot for the potatoes, broadcast with well decomposed barnyard manure. Begin the plowing on the outside perimeter of the .potato plot. Let a boy follow the plowman dropping the seed potatoes, either cut or small whole potatoes, in the furrow at proper distances. The next furrow plowed on the inside corners the first one planted. Continue planting in this manner covering the preceding row each time with th# present planting one until you gefc to the center of the patch when the entire area will be planted and covered. After this is done immediately haul leaves and straw covering the entire patch albout 12 or 15 inches deep. - The potatoes will come up through the covering of litter, and bear well. They will stand-in the ground nil the winter and spring in the lower Pee Dee and Central Districts, but in the Piedmont District they will have to be dug and stored on Account of "severe weather.

Common, "A good acreage of velvet beans has been planted lor fall growing and soil building"; and R, D. "Green writes from' Kershaw county that one farmer is. so well pleased with Austrian peas and vetch that he will put in severul hundred acres this fall. York county too is in line, L. W. Johnson reporting quite a number of farmers sowing grazing crops of soybeans. From further down the state comes similar good news. W. H. Craven reports that demonstrations with crotalaria in 1931 have resulted in considerable interest in tflta use of this soil building plant this year,/ while II. G. Boylesiton states that crotalaria is indicating great possibilities as a cover crop with aapara&us.

Representative Rupert Peyton made a demand in the Legislature of Louisiana last week that Senator Huey Long return to Washington, try to earn the $10,000 salary the people are paying him and stop interfering with the governmental affairs of that state.

An early crop is ' SAFER-SURER IN almost any year, an early crop of cotton is a good crop. It is a strong, fast growing crop, less subject to insect damage and diseases than a late, slow growing crop. This year, cotton must be set early if heavy boll weevil damage is to be avoided. With your cotton ^ip to, a stand, the biggest help you can give it is a side-dressing of Chilean Nitrate, 100 pounds to the acre right after chopping. 200 pounds would be better, of course. &' Nothing takes the place of Chilean Nitrate for side-dressing cotton. There is nothing picking up a crop and pushing it ahead fast, / setting the crop early and reducing the danger of " boll weevil losses to a minimum. ) 1 ' Sec your dealer now!
