AFTER HARVEST: As soon as cotton, corn and bean harvest are complete, shred all stalks and leave them on the surface of the soil. If there is a heavy crop residue, you may want to disk lightly so that the residue will be slightly incorporated and will deteriorate faster during the winter. If you prefer to bed-up your land in the fall, that o.k, to do so. Shredding stalks and leaving them on the surface will decrease erosion, destroy places for insects to feed before hibernation and give the Insects a environment in which to over-winter. It will also reduce disease carry-over on residue.

$21.00 BROWN BY JE ANNIE BAILEY A WHOLE century I That's how long Mrs. W. C. Caraway will have lived next Wed nesday, October 18, when she will be celebrating her 100th birthday. Mrs.

Caraway was born in 1872, one of six children to Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Abram Culpepper Barber. She was married to the late Dr. W.

C. Carraway, who practiced medicine in Hickory. Upon retiring, Dr. and Mrs. Carraway moved to Scott County in the early 1920's and made their home in a house on hospital street.

After her husbands death In 1936, Mrs. Caraway and her two children, Mrs. Inez Caraway Harrison and Ellis Caraway moved to West Third Street, where Mrs. Caraway and her daughter, still make their home. Mrs.

Caraway is bedridden now, but up until a few years ago was quite active in her home, garden and yard and church. She is a member of the Forest Baptist Church. She has always been interested in flowers and birds and now loves to read about the. "She still reads a little now," said Harrison, "but the books must be small and light in weight for her to be able to handle them. She reads the headlines in the Scott County Times and the Baptist Record and enjoys reading Bible stories.

"It's sometimes hard to find books light enough with a fairly large type that she can read, and many times I will give her a book we've had and she will say she already has read it," said Mrs. Harrison. Mrs. Caraway once enjoyed television, reported her daughter, but has lost interest now. "She especially liked to watch the football games.

Not that she understood the rules or procedures of the games, but because she liked to watch the players run and pile up on each other," said Mrs. Hrrrison. "That always amused her." "When mother was 97 she lost her hearing completely," said Mrs. Harrison, "but has gradually regained it." "She broke her hip when she Carraway was taken a couple of was 95 years old and doctors who operated and treated her have remarked how well preserved mother's skin is. They said that she was at least 15 years younger In her physical build and mental attitudes than her calendar years.

Even at her age, after the operation, she did regain her ability to walk." Mrs. Caraway once busied herself with her flower work and her yard. She also did a lot of hand work in making quilts, crotcheted bedspreads, and made many hooked rugs. There is a Women's Missionary Union called the Mrs. C.

Caraway Group. Mrs. Caraway has four living grandchildren, 3 others are decesased; and 17 great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.
