Pitt county never fails to strike a re-
chord in the hearts of her
people. Centuries ago the Africans
played hall with diamonds, not know-
their value. It took the
of civilization to show them
that their plaything were the world's
most valuable articles of commerce.
It Is only as a people becomes en-
lightened, do they appreciate their
undeveloped resources. Pitt county
has long since reached the stage of
true appreciation of her
oped resources and the most efficient
way of developing her magnificent
sections, and as Dr. Dixon, of

It was Indeed an inspiring scene
that th speakers of the
good roads convention.
Congressman John H. Small was
the first speaker, and touched upon
many Interesting topics as well
good roads, and showed the untold
confronting Pitt county In
the way of drainage, developing
power, and so on.
Congressman Small spoke, as fol-
It was most gratifying to
pate such a meeting of mutual
concern to people of town and country.
There was never a time when people
were more willing to give time and
wealth for the betterment of the
in North Carolina than today. We
have met to discuss for action. When
has not been carried into
action is weakened for the next
time. The implanting of thought to-
day should be put into force and there
should be at once organization and
action. We hope that everybody is
here for action.
This Is an economic question of our
country and world, and that state or
county, which devotes most time and
energy to tills question, help the
and country most. Public
demand wise solution. We have
fought fights for the education of our
children and Pitt county rivals any
section or county. Pitt has gone fur-
and has prepared for equipment
of teachers. This school Is a
which sets you above and should
be a source of pride to every one.

drainage. This question so-
Our old plans have been In-
sufficient, but you have a land now
that is leading in the right direction
for most effective drainage.
It Is too late to recall the waste of
our time, but we can in future utilize
what we have for profit and proper
benefit to us and our children. By the
application of proper methods we can
conserve them.
Our soil Is another asset that needs
our attention. We are wasting the
fertility of our soil by bad methods
and they should be renovated and re-
stored to original fertility and no
longer be wasted, but used for the
help of the whole people.

Two fundamental propositions for
our growth and development are
teaching agriculture and mutual work-
together of the town people and
country people for the Improvement of
both. Dr. State superintend-
of schools, has worked out the
agricultural school proposition. Pitt
county public school teachers have
asked for five times as much literature
on agriculture as any other two
ties comprising the fourteen counties
of the first congressional district.

Mr. Speech.
The second speaker was Mr. Lester
K. road engineer of the United
States Department of Agriculture. He
said he had a long ways to
be present at this meeting, on
day he was in Alabama and had been

glad to be here and see this audience.

Out of applications for rural

The greatest help it would be to our
country Is the keeping of the young

mental necessities that the country

isolation caused by bad roads was the

among country people.
tide should turned from tile city
to the country, instead of the country
to the city. The best way to do
Is to build good roads. Men do not
feel this Isolation bad roads
do our women.
When you decide to build good roads
you must first determine upon the
kind of roads most suitable to your
country from the point of view of
cost and the kind of material for build-
that is available. Here you are
ideally situated for the sand-clay road.
Nature has done your grading. Then
the real question is that of drainage
You must get rid of the water. To
do this your roads must slope from
the center to the sides where you
have scooped out ditches which take
the water to lower points, draining
entirely from the road bed. The sand
road Is a bed of loose sand which has
no rigidity. The sand grains must
be bound together by some kind
of cement, which Is clay. To do this
distribute the clay over the sand from
to inches deep and scatter it as
you haul it. To find out how much
clay Is necessary for any given
of sand, take two glasses, lining
one with sand and the other with
water and pour the water into the
sand, and the portion of water that
it takes to fill the glass of sand
the same amount of clay necessary
to make a firm road. After the
has been placed and mixed, cover by
dragging with the split-log drag.
For the clay road, cover i to inches
deep With sand, and mix with a
row while dry, then run over with a
drag. If sand appears
on more clay and use the log drag.
This is the best way to keep up your
roads. The log drag is the most use-
of road Implements. You can op-r
ale the log drag at a cost of cents
per mile, and the roads should
dragged one time each month, making
the whole cost by this method per
year. The old method of shovel
cart cost per year, and not so
good. You must have some fixed
method and use that.

At tie time of Installing a type

by which much Improvement has been
made in The Daily Reflector, both in
appearance and quality of
reading matter, it was our purpose to

In our weekly edition. Owing to the
delay in getting some or the material
wanted for this, the change in our
weekly edition could not be made as
as desired, but the change is
coming with next issue. The next
number of the weekly edition will be
decidedly changed In appearance, and
partially changed in name, instead
of being eight pages as now. there will
be sixteen, the pages being smaller
and giving the paper more of a
form. A handsome engraved
heading has been made for this, and
the name of the paper when It goes
out next week will be Caro-

The name may sound long,
but when you see it will say it

There are various why we
desire to make these changes in our
weekly edition. As the new part
the name Implies, our purpose is to
make it more of a home and farm
paper than it has been heretofore.
While it will continue to have Its news
and editorial features, more attention
will be given lo agricultural and farm
matters than in the past. Tin smaller
and more numerous pages will give
opportunity to classify the reading
matter in departments that will
make it an attractive paper.
It is our purpose to make week-
edition a paper that will appeal to
and interest those who live
on the farm, and we want every farm-
in Pitt and surrounding counties,
in throughout Eastern Carolina,

It Is an inspiration to talk with Mr.
John F. Evans, the manager for

of the State and Government Depart-
of Agriculture. He Is
over his work, and it is no won-
that the people In various parts
of the county whom he visits and in-

the spirit of enthusiasm from him.

are giving more attention to rotation
of crops, also to clover, peas and
other cover crops. Verily Pitt Is soon

county In the State.

Such Ill-mannered performances are

from The Reflector above went
straight to the mark. No. bud. this

If the editor of the Weekly had
started out for that special purpose,
he could not have written an article

Wherein We Fail.
In his address before the
Union, Maj. William A. Graham, State
Commissioner of Agriculture, made
the startling statement that whereas
the State of North Carolina received
every year from thirty-five to forty
million dollars for its cotton crop,
sent out more than that sum for meat
and bread and supplies that could be
grown or produced upon North Caro-
farms.
It is Just here where North Caro-
fails, and it is the mission of the
Union, the Alli-
the Department of Agriculture,
and the press to work In harmony to
put an end to this unwise system of
that stands like a lion In the
path of agricultural prosperity.
North Carolina farms ought to pro-
duce all the meat and corn sold In
the State and help supply the North-
markets with everything we eat.
It is gratifying to see the farm leaders
bringing these matters to the
of the farmers, and It is more
than gratifying to sec the progress
that is being made in that direction.
Many farmers are wide awake the
doctrine of and Is more
popular than ever in the history of
the State. A leading merchant in
Raleigh, who Is himself also a farmer,
says be believes more progress has
been made agriculture in North
Carolina during the past two years
than In the previous twenty years. The
progress by many farmers has been
marked. The need Is that this ex-
ample shall leaven the whole country.
