NE of the most important subjects now before the public is how to obtain a better yield of better grain,
especially of the kinds grown in this State. We are vitally interested in this subject and we can be of
great assistance to you if you will follow the pamphlet on Diversified farming we are mailing to our
friends monthly.
Beginning with April this month this bank will distribute each month in this community a series
of folders, treating each month of the different farming subjects. The war has brought home to all of us the
imperative necessity of the diversification of crops. Experience has shown that every farmer can greatly
increase the yield of his farm by farming rightly, by scientific methods. Each of these papers will be com
plete in itself and each will give explicit directions for obtainining the maximum yield of crops discussed and
will tell of the proper crop rotation to be practiced to maintain and increase the fertility of the farm. The
farmer who follows these suggestions should double or even trible the revenue from his farm.

I. Ask each farmer if he has any choice seed grain for sale or if he wants to buy any.
II. Keep a list of those who have and inform those wno have not.
III. We suggest that you select your seed early and in the field from which the plants yield the largest
harvest, store this seed in a dry, warm place after they have been selected where they will be secure from rats and
mice.
IV. We advise you to begin sowing a pure strain of each kind of grain, using a pure-bred seed best
adapted to the soil and climatic conditions. If there is doubt as to what variety to plant we suggest that you ask
us for this information; we will gladly get it for you from the State Experiment Station, or if you prefer write the
North Carolina Experiment Station, West Raleigh, N. C, for any information you desire
V. We advise our friends not to waste time in sowing new varieties with high-sounding names and
extravagant claims except possibly in a small way and as an experiment the first year or unless some one in
your neighborhood has grown the variety and knows what it will do under your conditions." We urge every
farmer to thoroughly fan and clean his feed, selecting only the heaviest and plumpest grain of good body for
sowing and always avoid shriveled or dwarfed kernels. Crops may be increased from three to five or more
bushels per acre without special fertilization by using the best seed from the varieties best suited to your local
conditions.
VI. These seeds may be best prepared by fanning mill which separates by size and specific gravity
by means of both screen and blast.
If you are interested in making more money this year drop us a postal asking for these bulletins; they
are free. We especially extend to every faimer in this community a most cordial invitation to visit our
bank any time you may be in High Point and we assure you that our business is always open to your in

torney and advise you accordingly to the best legal talent to be obtained.
