Joyner, of Greenville, who is admittedly an authority on tobacco, makes interesting comment on the culture of tobacco in North Messrs. For the last few years it ha, been perfectly apparent to every close observer of the sales of tobacco on the western North Carolina markets that thin white tobacco was growing less less in demand. During the tint few years of tobacco culture in this section of the state, white, or is known as men colored tobacco, was in greatest demand and told for fancy prices, for some cause the demand for TO THOSE CONTEMPLATING WITH THE ALDERMEN the manufactured product e from this type of leaf to drop off. In the meantime, stimulated by the higher price of white tobacco, farmers ed their chief attention to the production of this type of tobacco, with the res-ult that more of this type of tobacco made than there was demand for and con- the price fell off. Farmers learned from expert that the highest white tobacco was by priming off the tobacco early and curing color which changed after lying in bulk a few weeks to a very beautiful light color. This method was practiced to such an extent that since 1900, although the crop is now not transplanted much, if any, earlier than it then, yet it is taken the and cured from fifteen to thirty days earlier. type i f tobacco for the last two years baa paid the cost of production and as type of tobacco, it will be Been it has been, to say the least, an unprofitable crop. We must change our methods, The manufacturers cell us they want a heavier, richer and riper tobacco. The have paid good prices for such of this tobacco a we have made. A change from present methods certainly cannot us, for are malting nothing by growing the thin, white, tobacco. the University of Caro- Thu Fall.

As a matter of fact, it seems to me to be very unwise to send a boy or girl to school until the age of eight, at least, says Leon- ard Keens M. D., in The for October.

The result will be an utterly different class of tobacco from that we are now making and a class the manufacturers say they want- Let's make what they want and a little bit less than they want Grow all our home supplies. Market the crop in a seasonable and reasonable way and not throw it all on the in three or four months. Do this and in my opinion it will be the medicine that will produce a cure. Tobacco is selling much better now on the Kinston market than was the case at the beginning of the season on August 1st. There is not so much change in sand lugs, but the better grades are now freely marketed and while possibly the sum realized is not so great, in some cases, as in former years, farmers are generally satisfied and in some cases gratified at the outcome. But it has become more and more apparent that considers- I such as referred to in the ab clipping must receive greater attention.

The discovery of the North Pole has made a fertile subject for the cartoonists, get in the push. North Carolina has plenty of Cooks. Wonder if any of them are related to the doctor who discovered the North Pole. Greenville capitalists should be looking into the matter of establishing a mill here. It would be a profitable industry. If Mississippi has her way there will be nothing left for the colored man in that State but to work in the field. The Greensboro Record puts it up to the Raleigh News and Observer to quit so much talk- on the trust law and do a little acting. If The News and Observer is consistent the of The Record opens the way to it. With moving pictures every night, a week of tent shows, a theatrical company for a week and a week of carnival, all book- ed for this month, it is not like- that Greenville's pleasure seekers can complain of dullness during September. If some people would put forth as much energy building up their own business as they ex- pend in trying to pull down that of somebody else, they would come nearer to making a success of their own affairs. The best plan is to attend strict- to one's own business, and let the other fellow do the same thing. People may cry hard times, plead poverty, and put up all kinds of excuses for mil paying hills, but they usually find money for pleasure. Let a show along, an excursion be run, or some luxury wanted, and it does not seem so hard for people to get money for these things. If the same interest was shown in paving bills there would be better time-in branches of business, Paying the man who has given you credit should have first consideration, and then give indulgence to pleasures afterward. Even if they never get Breese and Dickinson in the they will give them a lot of punishment trying them. The only observance Green- ville made of Labor Day was those who usually labor going right along with their usual labor. A single bandit held up and robbed a train on the railroad, within fifty miles of the State capital, in real Western style got away with a lot of money from the express car. It was not creditable to the crew that one man bluffed the whole bunch of them. If the big ocean keep on lowering record trips across the Atlantic, flying machines will be able to cue no figure with them. Durham seems to be an in- field for evangelist.-. One from Texas closed a two week's meeting there last Sun- day, and another has just begun a meeting. From all that has been read in the papers about Durham the city needs evangelizing. A letter from Congressman John II. Small, that will be found on another page announces that a educational meeting will be held in Green- ville on Monday, Sept. lath. Congressman Small is always active in behalf of the people of his district in arranging such meetings for their benefit, and the should show their interest by taking advantage of them. There is need of in the methods of farming, and these meetings are a great help in that direction. A large attendance should be at the meeting on the 18th. Reports of August tobacco ales at the various show that tobacco has average. from 1-- to U cents a pound. Of course farmers could raise tobacco at this figure if they could not realize any more on their crop, we be- lie the bulk of the tobacco sold was of u low grade and farmers will undoubtedly bring the general average up when they their better grades during this month and later in the season. Though the leaf has sold for less during the past month, as a rule, than during August Not only the prosperity of the farmer but that of tobacco sec- generally is effected ad- when the farmer does not an adequate return for his labor. So far as the farmer is concerned believe that he nothing better than to follow tile advice of tobacco men as published in the Free Press from time to time. And this may be summarized Improve the type of your leaf. Do not waste time, labor money on the common, primings. And to this we Would Re- duce your tobacco acreage and make your supplies, including a large part of your fertilizer- While the outlook for tobacco this year cannot on the whole be called discouraging, we believe that if growers will follow the lines indicated there will be greater prosperity in the tobacco sections than ever be- fore.

D. Cox was chosen chairman and. D. J Whichard secretary. Congressman Small was the first speaker and showed the Agriculture, spoke on drainage, j GREENVILLE STORAGE HOUSE. He said the Idea that anybody for nothing else will do to make a farmer, is a mistake. We C. L. of the Bureau of Plant Industry of the U. S- Department of his subject being very Urge need as good training for farm- corn, oats and cotton an compared these with anywhere and ask a armer how V ,, ,. i hi is he will tell it the small average yield, especial our that law .- declared this week that pro- is now enforced and made for such meetings as . i . . . thin of the fact that would decrease the of drunkards in the coming generation of North Carolinians at least two-thirds. More than this the most ardent advocate prohibition could not have ex- and the half of this would make the prohibition pol- icy the wisest and most profit- able step ever adopted by the people of North Carolina. Prohibition is a success there Is no question as to this; and yet ire must not let our gratification its achievements or over the, public opinion of the State seep its from recognizing the dangers pf indifference on the part temperance advocates. We not too strongly emphasize the fact that the next eighteen months will mark the one critical period with prohibition in this State. During this time the most active, money supplied by the great liquor in of the and using both fair and foul to snake US prohibition unpopular wherever slightest tor success. It is of. the greatest import- therefore, that our local Anti-Saloon Leagues keep them- selves intact and -that new. leagues be wherever there is danger to our cause, and that our league have adequate financial support. Good citizens everywhere must hold up the hands of officials who are vigor- in behalf of law enforcement, and must bring individual and organized pressure to bear upon officials who deal lightly with the oaths they have taken. It was not long to have been expected that perfect machinery for the enforcement of our pro- laws would be developed; it was not to be expected that the enemies of prohibition would immediate- the hopelessness of their cause attacking the law. The fact that North Carolina largely rural, and that rural sections have been dry tor years, and that our cities are not only composed largely of native- born, law-loving North Carolina people, but had also adopted local laws in nearly very things have made the enforcement of pro- in North Carolina much easier in some other States. We should not be true to our trust, however, if we did not re- mind our churches, the advocates of temperance, and good citizens of all classes of the imperative importance of strict law enforcement and of undiminished activity in preach- temperance doctrine. We would especially call at- to the necessity tor caution in dealing with the near- beer sellers. If license is to be granted st all, there should be most careful scrutiny of cants, and most careful inquiry into their conduct It should be remembered that the board cf aldermen in granting such . . . tali is a truism so plain as to require no elaboration whatever. The old miracle of Romulus and suckled by the wolf would have be repeated in order to bring about a outcome of such a proposition. No ex- press statute is n but of public policy should prevent any city from exposing an ex-saloon keeper to tho temptations which a near- beer shop provides for him to certainly consider- the law of the expressed will of the people should prevent our trusting our prohibition law to such people tor safe keeping- No license to sell near-beer should be to any man unless he has recommendations as to his character from the best citizens of town, and after thirty public notice; certainly no license should ever be granted to any man who has, government license to sell license to sell near-beer should especially provide that no intoxicants should be drunk con- Vie -for selling any intoxicant or allowing any intoxicant to be drunk upon, the premises should work immediate forfeiture of license and once a month out notice and not at stated inspection of stock should be made by city officials. We make simply for such cities as are willing to permit near-beer es- The experience this, of the fact that has not kept pace with other pursuits. There has been much advancement in farming, and if our forefathers of a or even a half century, ago were here they would find great changes for the better. But the advancement in agriculture is not what it should have been, and it is to gain better knowledge of our lands, the better handling of crops, things that make farming more profitable, that creates the necessity for the meetings. Instead of the boys leaving our farms and going to the towns to seek employ- they should be educated to the value and advantage of farming. The question has been asked, what has a member of congress to do with educational meetings If it is a congress- man's duty to look after the pro- motion of rivers and harbors in his district, to look after proper mail routes and facilities, why should he not be interested in looking after farming interests when per cent of the people of his district are engaged in this pursuit It is the duty of a pub- servant to be interested in the welfare of all his people. C. Thompson, of the Bureau of Animal Indus- try, spoke on cattle and dairy industries. He emphasized the value of cattle for dairying, which aside from the profit of dairy products helps the farmers in improving his soils and brings other that it advantage to him in many ways, is desperately difficult to control cattle is a highly it, and if the element thinks to use the near-beer Drop as a cover for flagrant violation of our general law, our people will be left but one of near-beer establishments entirely. We again warn our people to be on their guard unceasingly during the next eighteen months. If this is done we shall clinch prohibition law beyond all questioning in this State, developing the machinery and the public which will keep it forever intact. Old. officers in the counties and cities should bold their organization intact, and every man who voted in the campaign a year ago should count himself as not pa- rolled until the last active to the State law subsides. By order of the Executive Committee of the North Caro- Anti-Saloon League- Clarence H. Poe, Raleigh, N. C. Chairman, specialized industry- Such cat- should be selected with care, and no one going into this try, should be satisfied with the average animals- The best should be had, even if they cost more money, then there should be constant effort to improve the in the South, and aid this small average yield was due to a want of proper knowledge of soil fertility. All industries of the farm centers around the plant. The corn farmer has his mind on the ear of corn, and the cotton farmer thinks of the boll, the tobacco farmer thinks of the leaf, and little at- is given to that part of the leaf, and little attention is given to that part of the plant on which life depends. The plant above depends upon its hence the roots should have the first and best attention of the farmer. This comes through proper fertility of the soil to provide the means necessary to the growth of the plant. Disease and insects in the soil, fertilizers and their proper use, rotation of crops, were all mentioned in this con- Keeping a supply of humus in the soil was given as the most advantageous means of fertility. In the absence of sufficient barnyard manure de- rived from stock raising, a good means of supplying humus is to plant peas, clover, vetch, etc. to be turned in. Several charts were used in showing values. Dr. Cooper Curtice, of the Bureau of Animal Industry, spoke on the subject of stock and bx w to find a market. He advocated the of stock. Those sections the moat prosperous where each farmer raises stock both for his own use and for market Ha must feed them and he must constantly breed for better varieties. Well fed and well bred stock are the most and profitable. This kind cannot be had with free range They must be kept within en- closure in the pasture, and in the barn yard, and must be protected in winter. He exhibited a stock law map of North Carolina showing that three-fifths of the State had adopted stock law. He explained that the farmer who raised stock made two profits, one from pro- crops and the other from feeding the roughage and forage and surplus grain to the stock. This is the sovereign remedy his crop is and he will tell you it is A man falls overboard, no bones are broken, his body is all there, but by his lungs getting filled with water the body ceases to perform its functions and is dead. The man is drowned. So the man who says his crop is drowned out when it has taken on too much water is telling the truth. Tell a man that a flood is com- and his low land pasture will overflow, and he hastens to lead his cows out to high land. He is anxious to rescue worth of cows, but will let several hundred dollars worth of corn get year. Isn't the corn worth as much as the cows If the loss in Eastern North Carolina in three years by r drain- age had been prevented, you could not picture the improve- the extra money would make. One crop drowned out means taking the profit off of two or three succeeding crops. The land must be drained. We can- not control the but we can provide to take care of it when it comes. The solution for Eastern North Carolina farm- is to the lands. This section is easily drained. There A New Enterprise That Will Prove a On Saturday the Greenville Storage House. W. H Jr. proprietor, began business here, and the first day started off with large storage receipts. Some time last spring Messrs. C- W. Harvey and J. W. Ferrell began the erection of the storage house for this business on the I lot between the Liberty ware- house and the Norfolk Ac South- railroad, fronting on Pitt street. While the building was in course of erection the enter- prise was over by Mr. who carried it on to and the building was finished ready for use last week. i It is a single story brick building in two sections, each x I feet, and has capacity for about hogsheads of tobacco. There has been much demand here for a building of this kind for storing tobacco, and Mr. has supplied this need. The usual house charges are made, and the tobacco, after being packed in is kept in store until the owners are ready ti ship it. The in- rates in this building is only c par so it costs but little to keep the co on hand, and the storage receipts can be used as collateral by the owner. No doubt Mr. will find his storage house a profitable enterprise as well tobacco I a great convenience to is no money in farming on wet land, for you do not even get expenses back.

Our native cattle do not die because they have been inoculated when young and thereby made immune, but if you bring in cattle from free they will soon get the fever and die. On the other hand, if your cattle are taken into the north or other free territory they the fever. Hence it is the cattle in- this section are quarantined. You cannot sell a milch cow to be taken into free overlooked, and proper records should be kept of every animal to show the profit from each. It is useless to keep animals that do not yield a profit To get the best results animals should not be allowed to run at large in the range. Every advantage for this industry to be conducted profitably in North It costs less to maintain cattle here than where dairying is made a specialty in the north, while at the same time butter brings about cents a pound more here than the Northern dairy man can get for his.

C. R. Hudson, of Cd-operative Demonstration Work, made an interesting talk on this work. He the value j of soil and bi up fertility with clove- ops. He said crimson cover is a success in Pitt county and urged the inoculation of lands for this. He also showed the importance of good seed selection for crops and home grown seeds are better than any that can be or- because they are ed. O. L. Joyner stated at the con- of Mr. Hudson's address j that he had grown crimson I clover very successfully and had a quantity of the inoculated soil which he would gladly give to any one wanting to u e it. The meeting thanked Mr. Joyner for, this offer. Congressman Small had some important bulletins distributed and closed the meeting some comparisons the price of tobacco and other crops, Resting the advisability of those things that bring good prices- There was a unanimous Congressman Small to arrange for a similar meeting as this to be held here next year.
