The Electrical Unit and Equivalent
In Horsepower.
In the electrical world one hears
and reads a great deal about
The current is measured
watts, the machinery is rated by
watts and lamps burn by watts. To
the ordinary layman all this
of watts is mystifying.
The to whom we owe the
idea of the horsepower was a Scot-
inventor, James Watt, and
when the electric unit involving the
idea of working capacity came to be
formulated the name of Watt was
chosen to indicate this unit, just as
that of Volta hat given us the term
volt and Faraday the farad.
Watt considered that, taking the
average, a London dray horse was
capable of doing the work of lifting
pounds through one foot of
gravity. Tho introduction of this
time the minute, gave the
unit of power, or rate of performing
work. This or its equivalent has
ever since been called a horsepower.
The electrical unit called the watt
is capable of being represented in.
terms of the horsepower, and in J- P. and Mayors
that form it is perhaps more
risible to those who familiar
with mechanical rather than with
electrical expressions

day-Practical Results of
Much Importance
In View.
As a result of the institute
work conducted in Pitt county by
the Department of Agriculture
the past summer and during
morning and afternoon sessions
in Greenville Monday, the
interests of the section
are likely to be advanced in three-
important particulars. A grow-
sentiment in favor of road
improvement will receive sub-
encouragement through
the availability of a department
road engineer; local problems
relating to the production of our
leading crops are to be definitely
ascertained and investigated
through the location in the
of a department

such has proved so popular
and efficient in r sections in
bringing the farmer into closer
touch with tho spirit, aims, and
methods of the Department of
Agriculture. These things can
fail to materialize only through
the indifference of Pitt county
farmers; which is to say that they
are assured.
These institutes, secured for
this section by Congressman
John EL Small, serve their great-
est purpose when working along
the particular lines suggested by
local conditions; that cf Monday
for instance, answering some
special needs of the greatest to-
producing county in the
United States. Prefacing the
regular program, Mr. Small re-
to the wonderful benefits
derived from the State depart-
of agriculture or
stations, and the
greatest co operation between
these and the national depart-
The fact that so many of
our people are directly interested
in agriculture had led him to
repeated studies of these
with the inquiry as to how
they might best accomplish the
purpose of serving our
interests; from which,
coupled with facts of observation
among farmers, he had concluded
that the greatest benefit might
result from bringing the depart-
of agriculture to the people
rather than by trying to bring
the people to the department.

of which would make the
services of a department road

He said that the department
might send men here to talk, but
unless this talk resulted inaction
little good would come of it.
He hoped three results from
this meeting, and it was with
the people of Pitt county whether
these results are to be realized.
He wanted the county to have

I e wanted a tobacco man from
the Department of Agriculture
to come here and take up prob-

He hoped the people of the
would take the necessary-
steps to procure these valuable
aids to our agricultural progress.
On motion a resolution was
