Statistic on Tobacco Average.
The voted down the
measure authorizing the agricultural
department to collect statistics con-
the acreage and condition of
the tobacco crop during the season,
that the trade might use this
to establish prices, which
usually, because of lack of
start low at the opening of the
market and the small farmer sells
his crop at a disadvantage.
Tho cost of gathering this
would be a mere bagatelle
and, as Mr. O. L. n
tobacconist of Eastern North
Carolina, who was here yesterday
suggested, the tux listers could easily
secure the acreage of last year and
the present year. Of course the con-
would depend upon the sea-
son, but with the number of acres,
which Information the above plan
certainly reveal, the probable
yield would be very accurately an-
before the opening of tho
market.
The Southern Tobacco Journal was
in favor of the Idea to provide some
way of securing accurate Statistics
as to acreage, etc., if such a plan
would be adopted throughout the to-
growing sections, it would be
of value to the trade.
We think Mr. Joyner's plan is u

that in 1840 Georgia had textile

In the twenty years between 1840 and

William M. Russ, mayor of Raleigh
for years, and clerk of the
court of county for
years, died suddenly at his home this
morning at In apparent ex-
health yesterday on the
talking with friends, his sudden
death will come as a great shock to
his many friends, and there will be
the greatest sympathy for his be-
family.
Mr. Russ retired last night his
usual hour and was feeling
well. Shortly before midnight
he began coughing and a feeling of
nausea came on him. He told his
wife of this and got out of bed, re-
his nausea. In doing t he
coughed greatly and he took a seat
in a chair. In a few minutes his
condition became alarming and

they arrived Mr. Ruse had died, the
physicians pronouncing his death due
to dilatation of the heart.
Mr. Russ was a man who had made
many friends, for he was a genial man
his good nature and being
of his life. He was the center of
any crowd in which he happened to
be, and was among the most popular
of men, having a large acquaintance
throughout the state. For years be-
fore he entered into politics he was
a traveling salesman, having great
success in this line and in life
work.
In 1804 Mr. Rues was elected mayor
of Raleigh and proved a most efficient
official. At that time the mayor
sided over the city police court, and
the remarks of Mayor Russ in the
hearing of cases and trials became
celebrated throughout the state. Dur-
his term as mayor he took great
interest in the schools of the city.

The Atlantic Coast. Lino fan, per-
haps, lay claim to a freight loss that
has seldom if ever occurred to any
railroad in the world, as happened
recently between this city and Nor-
folk, on the Norfolk division of the
company. Among the twenty-five
cars that made up a through freight
train, there was an automobile car
containing one automobile under seal
from Jacksonville. Florida, to a point
in Virginia. It was a matter of
possibility to have entered the Car
except by the sea and this had not
been broken. When at a point near
was reached the fireman
looked back and he noted smoke
coming from under the eves of the
car, and the train was stopped and
an investigation was made. It was
found that the fire was on the Inside
of this car, and when the seal was
broken and the car entered, the auto-
mobile contained therein had been
practically consumed and the inside
of the car was burning rapidly.
Due to the fact that there was lit-
means of fighting the fire, tho
entire car was consumed, but tho
rest of the train was shifted from it,
and outside of the car and
bile, there was little other loss. The
railroad company are at a loss to
know how the fire originated for the
car had been several days in transit
and was then Hearing the point of
its delivery and it was hard to con-
of how fire might have been
kept smoldering for tho possible four
or five days that the car had been
It is equally as difficult to
fathom out as to how the fire might
have started on the inside of the ear
after it was sealed in Jacksonville.
There is little in the way an ex-
of how it started and all
the railroad company knows is that
it is a total loss along with a freight
car.

we promised several parties

think there is a better way to do
this than a comparison with the
South In some respects at least.
begin, if you converse with a
farmer in the South he will some-
times tell you that it is not a farm-
country, and that is just the
opinion one will have of this country
on arriving here to see thousands of
acres of land as bare as a sand bank
or covered with sage brush and In
what is termed the farming districts.
No grass, no cooling springs from

a shelter from the broiling sun or

fence posts may be cut from the
scrubby cedars on the dry side hill

level as might be supposed, but is
rolling or broken by gulches, draws,
etc., and is surrounded by high
mountains. There is not
enough to even germinate grain
much less bring it to perfection.
are some streams of water
at various distances which are sup-
ported by the melting of snow in
the mountains and on these must the
ranchers depend for moisture to
and mature his crop. Such
are the conditions to be overcome in

of the west But little assistance
can be expected nature. A
farm must be so a man or
community of men must go to some
vantage point on a usually distant
stream, sometimes miles and with
plow, pick and shovel build a ditch
over the soil, rock, ravines and about
everything in the catalog of
to get a stream of water on
his land for domestic use and
water absorbs alkali
from the soil and all filth it comes
in contact with and is unfit for drink-
purposes, though mostly used.
This ditch must be frequently clean-
ed and kept in order and is a
source of constant expense to say
nothing of having those above you
appropriate the water while you are

phase of the problem is mastered,
soil being of a hard nature requires
the energy of three to five horses

also be kept furrowed out, as nothing
grows without you bring the water

heavy cropping and flowing
of water through the soil soon ex-
it and after two or three crops
it must be seeded to alfalfa to re-
store its fertility. Of course the
alfalfa is a valuable hay crop also,
but. one can not eat it, so it is
profitable unless it can be exchanged
for other commodities and so much
is grown that the supply is getting

makes some other money crop

brains as well soil to grow a

the west for a fortune had been
judiciously invested in developing
the resources of the South, we might
have made the west sit up and take
notice. The money and effort spent
here to make a home will also bring
things to pass in the South.

Pitt county will read over several
times before putting this paper aside,
and then do some good hard think-
about it. What the Tribune says
about the home in Cabarrus county,
fits Pitt county as well as if it had
been written for this county. And
Pitt could have a county home that
would be a credit to the county if the
people would set their heads to do so.

HOMES.

Cabarrus county is one of the most
progressive counties in the State, but
the buildings and equipment at her
county home would be a reflection
on one of the poorest and least pro-
counties. The home is

in the county, much of it being worth
an acre. It has been suggested
that some of the land be sold and the
proceeds put into modern sanitary
buildings, and the suggestion is a
good one. ye have with

They are getting the thing down
fine in the search for smuggled
goods by customs officers of the port
of New York. The other day two ladies
of the wealthiest family in Savannah
were returning from a trip abroad,
and before leaving the steamer were
forced to submit to a most rigid ex-
to see if they had diamonds
hid about their person to smuggle
them in. They were compelled to
disrobe and even their stockings and
hair were searched. The ladies very
rightly declared it an outrage.
Above is something hope the

We have not a copy of the
law passed by the recent legislature
modifying the stock law territory of
Pitt county. It is reported that many
people are much worried over it,
but from what we can learn the
change in the boundary line makes
about twelve or fifteen miles of fence

six miles heretofore. With the doing
away of some sixty odd miles of
fence and the heavy tax of keeping
it up, it looks like the people ought

It is getting on towards corn
planting time, and we believe the
farmers of Pitt county are preparing
to make a bigger crop than they have
ever made before. This is what they
ought to do, and put a stop to corn
being shipped into the county. Then
they should do the same thing about
raising meat. Too much money has
been going out of the county for corn,
meat and hay, and when a sufficiency
of these is made at home the county
will prosper as never before.
The man who is a real help to his
town is held in much more regard
than the mere hanger on who saps
his living out of the efforts of others.
There are people of the latter class
in every community, who never show
any disposition themselves to help
advance any progressive movement,
but are ready to grab anything they
can from what others do. Such men
are merely leaches on a community.
That property along the
A. C. L. railroad that is to be divided

manufacturing plant on a site so
available and convenient to the rail-
road. But opportunities do not wait
always, and Greenville too often for
own good lets them go by.

NOW FOR ELECTRIC ROADS.
The States of Ohio and Indiana are
honeycombed with electric lines, and
it is good news that work is to begin
at once on the construction of such
lines in North Carolina and South
Carolina. Mr. J. B. Duke, the tobacco
millionaire, who not only has plenty
of money, but has big brains a
master mind for big things, is the
head of the new company that is to
build these lines. Contracts have
been made in South Carolina for lines
between Greenville and
and now the news comes that con-
tracts have been let for the
of a line between Charlotte and
King's Mountain, a distance of thirty-
four miles. The men who are behind
this big movement are accustomed to
do big things and now that they have
undertaken the development of the
waste power and its utilization in el-
roads we may look forward to
the time in the not far distant future
when electric roads will be running
all the way from Raleigh to Charlotte
and then on to South Carolina towns
and cities.
electric roads are of
great convenience and arc big de-
of the country through which
they run, and in the wake of these
new lines will come large develop-
that will do much to enrich the
State.

The fear of having to pay a few
more cents in the way of taxes is do-
more to keep back the good roads

look at it that way fail to take into
consideration the heavy indirect tax

fact that it was upon that steamer

Pitt county's new court house. We
are glad to say that this arrangement
can be made. Judge J. S. Adams, who
is assigned to the fall courts of this
district, having consented, with the
approval of Governor Kitchin, to an
exchange with Judge for
the first term In our new court house.
The workmen on the court house
expect it completed ready for use in
time for the August term of court,
but in case any interruptions
vent this, one of the fall terms can
be held in it.
Another thing The Reflector wants
to say in this connection, is that the
day of that term in the
new court house should be made a
notable day for Pitt county. Let all
the people of the county come to-
then and celebrate the day
by fittingly dedicating the new
of justice. We refer this to Chair-
man J. P. and the board of
county commissioners, who, with the
building commute, would naturally
have charge of the matter, to take
it under consideration and arrange
for the county to have a big day
when the court house is used for the
first time.

and hardly that, no conveniences for
bath whatever. We had chills and
fever off and on during the whole
seven years lived at that place;
and I am sure it was on account of
tho surface drainage going Into the
spring. We spent enough for doc-
tors and medicine to have dug a
well and run the water indoors. We
had no more chills after leaving
there, but were some time regaining
our impaired vitality. Then I had
no sewing machine; so it was
to spend days at a time at my
mother's, sewing, or else hire my
sewing. We spent enough in that
way to have bought a machine twice
over. Finally, in 1901, my husband
bought a machine for am

This is a fair specimen of the mis-
taken economy of young farm folks.
The little old stove by this time was

A Warning to Farmers.
A few days ago the United States
department of agriculture issued a
bulletin that contains a warning to
farmers against purchasing clover
seed which has recently been
ported Into this country from Chile.
The seed was sent in three separate
shipments aggregating pounds
This seed has been found to be con-
with two kinds of
seed in such proportion that
seeds would ordinarily be sown in
each square rod planted with the
Chilean clover seed.
The dodder weed is said to be a
native of Australia, and reached Chile
in shipments of alfalfa seed. It is a
small shrub of the laurel family, and
has the reputation of being extremely
destructive to alfalfa and
clover. The distinction between the
two varieties of the pest is not made
clear in office of the bulletin, but
it is safe assume that one is fully
as vicious as the other. It is said
the dodder winds itself about the
steams of the clover and quickly de-
its life.
According to the bulletin, in the
particular lots of Chilean clover seed
regarding which the warning is
en, the clover seeds themselves are
of peculiarly fine appearance, and
arc fully per cent, larger than or-
clover seed. Such being the
case, little difficulty should ex-
in detecting the dodder.
When the infected seed is discovered
it should not only be rejected, but if
the laws will permit it to be done,
it should be confiscated and burned
by the proper

NEWSPAPER PRESS FOR SALE.
Having placed an order for a new fast news-
paper and book press, to be installed the middle of
April, we have a newspaper press that will be
sold at a bargain for delivery May 1st.
It is a Press, large enough
to print four pages, or two
pages and has steam fixtures so that it can be run
either by hand or power. Been in use six years.
It is a splendid press for a weekly paper and
is in good condition to do many years good
vice. We used a press from the same factory for
years before installing this one, printing a daily
paper with small circulation about years of that
time. Its speed, an hour, is too slow for a daily
paper with the present circulation of The
tor, and for that reason we are having to displace
it with a faster press.
Any one interested and wanting a good press
for-a weekly newspaper, can sec this press at work
every day in the Reflector building, before our new
press is installed. Any one who cannot come to
see it at work and examine it, can get particulars

THE SOIL.
What Constitutes What
Does the Term Mean to You I
What is soil fertility What does
the term mean to What is your
standard of measurement What are
the conditions or factors which con-
or constitute soil fertility
It appears that, to some, the
of the so-called plant foods,
gen, potash and phosphoric acid,
which are applied to or contained in
the land, is the most important
tor in measuring the fertility of pro-
power of a soil. To others
tho proper amount of humus, or de-
organic matter In a soil, is
tho measure of its fertility, or at
least, is the first essential of soil
fertility. Still others believe that till-
age determines more largely than
any other factor the productive ca-
of soils. And still others, even
certain scientists and investigators
have claimed that soil fertility is
most entirely a question a proper
supply of moisture in the soil,
pendent of its chemical composition,
as this chemical composition
effects its power to furnish a proper
water supply.
That all soils contain sufficient
plant foods for the production of
large crops, or that the supply of
water is the sole measure of soil
fertility, will be accepted by few; but
if any one factor could be singled out
as the most important in
the fertility of any soil, it would
certainly be tho one of a proper sup-
ply of The lesson which must
first be learned Is, that soil
Is dependent upon many different
factors, and that if we neglect any
one of tho factors, or if we greatly
exaggerate another, we shall most
likely fall short of that grasp of the
subject necessary to the best soil
management.
If we admit that good tillage,
plant foods, organic decay and
bacterial life and a properly
lated supply of moisture are all es-
to large crop production, or
maximum soil fertility, it is not quite
proper or accurate to state that any
one of these is, in the true sense, the
most important; but since all others
of these are more or less dependent
upon one, water, it may be placed
first in consideration.
Most soils contain much more plant
foods than would be required to pro-
duce scores of maximum crops; but
these are useless for crop production
until dissolved in the soil water. Or-
matter decays through
rial activities, which break down and
render soluble plant foods in the soil;
but one equally important function of
decaying organic matter In the soils
water supply, if, then, sufficient
plant foods in the soil, decaying or-
matter and a proper water sup-
ply are the three most important
tors in soil fertility, it is entirely
proper to place the water supply as
first In importance. Organic matter
would be placed because its
decay tends to render the plant foods
already in the soil available to crops
and to regulate the water supply in
which the plant foods are dissolved
and carried to the growing plants.

The Great Value of Neighborhood Co-Operation
J.
Farmville, N. C, March-28, 1911.
There is a small island off the coast
of England which is famous and pros-
beyond most islands, and this
fame and prosperity is attributed to
co-operation among its inhabitants in
the raising of one specific breed of
cattle. These cattle are widely dis-
in the United States and
fabulous prices have been obtained
by the islanders for superior
mens of the breed. By this
they have produced a breed of
cattle par excellence for butter. I of
course refer to the island of Jersey.
The people over in Virginia in the
vicinity of a small place named
Smithfield, have by working together
produced a superior ham and now all
that they have are sold in the mar-
for from three to five cents per
pound above any other ham.
Troy, New York, owes its pros-
to co-operation among its
in manufacturing linen collars.
If this little island has derived such
great benefit from this spirit of co-
operation only, cannot other com-
do the same thing
What has been done can be done

Whatever one can do himself well
is best done by himself, but whatever
the neighborhood can do best should
be done by the neighbors co-operating
together.
I will suggest some things in which
I think it profitable if those re-
siding in the same vicinity should all
do alike. First, there should be a
gathering at the public school house
and the majority should rule, due

Having decided that the Berkshire
hogs are the best for said community,
then every one should raise Berk-
shire hogs who raises hogs. Soon
some one would have some fine
mens for sale and might a
handsome profit.
Whenever the neighborhood pro-
more than it could consume,
then one advertisement could answer
for all, thereby saving quite a little
sum, besides only the best specimens
would be sold which would add pres-
to the neighborhood. Then there
would be competition, each one would
strive to have nicer hogs and raise
them cheaper.
They would soon be more
gent hog raisers. All having the
same kind would create an
just as planting prolific corn has
enthused the boys.
Then this rivalry would soon create
a neighborhood spirit and each one
would be proud of his neighborhood
and strive to make it the very best
neighborhood in the county.
One man could take the stock to
the fairs and all would share the bur-
den and help reap the benefits. In
the course of time the neighborhood
would have a statewide reputation,
and if the neighbors were sufficiently
energetic eventually they would have
a national
We have been wasting our

What I have written of hogs would
apply equally to chickens, cattle and
sheep and in a measure to coin and
cotton.
I am myself ready to enter into
such an agreement and if my
mediate neighbors don't just now see
as f do, I will join any ton
in the county and let all agree to
raise some kind of corn and cotton
and breed the same class of cattle
and hogs.
I would like to hear from others on
this line.
Cost of Production nil Important In
Farming.
European farmers work upon the
principle of making the cost of pro-
the essential thing. The
America farmer generally speaking.
has not looked to this matter, look-
to an immense acreage to cover
up any deficiency of production,
based upon acreage basis. Limited
acreage has naturally developed the
European to practice an intensive
farming through necessity, this work-
to an advantage. Every cent
had to count in this kind of limited
cultivation, the dollar going into the
cost of production had to be more than
realized in the farm's returns, so
that every foot cultivated is
oped in the highest degree, for fail-
meant disaster. All this has
produced an extreme economical farm
much in contrast to the American
prodigality. Take the potato crop,
with its average of bushels per
acre in this country. The farmer
raising bushels boasts of his skill
But take the limited area in England
the farmer there often raises
bushels, while in Belgium 1,600
bushels are raised.
The American farm waste has
ways been large, because of the very
bountifulness of our soils, and the
cheapness of the land. The increase
in land values is working a benefit,
in breaking up the large farms, and
the smaller farms are receiving
attention and being cultivated
with the money cost an essential
factor. With intensive farming,
which conies with the small farm,
the agricultural products of this
country will increase to a vast ex-
tent in value, for there will be a
great caving In the cost of production
