Carrying out the idea
Mr. explained the

The effect was to show that, re-
the gifts of nature in

the United States could in
way vie with the South, and
yet notwithstanding this
advantage the South was
still unquestionably the least

an attitude of mind

cause victory is always first

showed that such general self-

and thus bring the nation at last
to understand how much of its

Ticks Yield of Beef and Milk.
A cattle tick that has reached
the engorged stage weighs about
grains, about 1,600 such
ticks a pound. cattle
in the tick region often carry
many thousands of these blood I
tusking and as each
tick during the period of its at-
to an animal draws
more than its own
weight in it can be teen
that these ticks an
enormous drain on the cattle
which they infest. This accounts
for the fact that under such con-
it is impossible to fatten
cattle even on rich pasture d
with an abundance of good feed.
A large part of the nourishment
that should go toward producing
beef and milk is consumed by
the ticks. In addition to the
of blood and nourishment there
is the never ceasing irritation
caused by ticks, so that the
existence of the infested
is beset with continuous suffer-
this of course also tends
to keep them in poor condition.
The shrinkage in the milk
production of a cow harboring
many ticks will average one
quart a and the loss
sioned thereby at cents a quart
for the dairy cattle
out of more than 4.000,000 below
the quarantine line would amount
to a day. Counting
milking for each cow to the
year would make the loss from
this cause per annum.

Hog.
We have often spoken of the
advantage of diversified crops
for North Carolina farmers, hogs
being mentioned as one of the
useful crops, if we may call
them a crop.
And now the report comes
from Chicago, the of the
hog meat market in the United
States, that the price of bacon
is going up and going up to stay;
Exchange Seed for Meal.
A ton of cottonseed is equal in
feeding value to about 1,850
pounds of cottonseed meal. In
most places in the Progressive
Farmer territory a ton of cotton
seed sold to the mills will
chase 1,800 pounds of cottonseed
meal. In such eases it is plain
that we have pounds of cot
meal, or say to pay
for hauling a ton of cottonseed
to market and for hauling 1,850
pounds of meal back to the farm-
Unless the haul is a long one, it
is apparent that it will pay to
sell the cottonseed to the mills
at to a ton. Moreover,
there is an additional reason for
feeding meal rather than seed,
in that the oil in the seed can
only be used as feed by cattle in
small quantities- Therefore, if
as much feed value is to be ob-
from ton of seed as from
1,850 pounds of meal, the seed
must be fed in small quantities;
whereas a larger ration of meal
may be fed with satisfaction-
It should be apparent to any
one that with cottonseed at from
to a ton and meal selling
for only a little more per ton the
seed should be sold to the oil
mills unless the haul is too
long.
For every ton of cottonseed
sold the farm not less than
1,860 pounds of meal should be

THE PROGRESS OF OUR TOWN.
B, F. M. WOOTEN,
With a year of life filled with peace,
prosperity and progress, Greenville
with Us steady and strong develop-
has grown Into a splendid pro-
portion of municipal existence.
The spectacular development of the
few years preceding the one just
needed a growth to
sure and permanent those new
which,
cost tax-payers a great deal
of money. The present year has sup-
plied that need. And today Green-
ville In her attainments and strength,
stands out prominently as the most pro-
little city among the many
progressive ones In North Carolina.
Her Interest In education been
th. In Ufa during
this period, and Is today on. of Hie
chiefest aims of her And It
has accomplished wonders For in-
It made the Bast Carolina
Teachers Training School the most
successful educational institution. In
Us beginning, that the State has ever
seen. Its splendid grounds,
cent buildings, its strong faculty and
fine and large body of students, these
combined with the spirit of the com-
guarantees to the whole State
the permanency and usefulness of
institution.
The Greenville Graded Schools have
had a year of splendid success. Each
year these schools have added
religious, social
industrial to the whole community and
carried out Into the county its good
effects. Through the organization, the
Flu County Teachers Association.
Greenville and the whole of Pitt county-
have kept in beneficial touch with one
another and have thus greatly In-
creased and strengthened the interest
In education. And today the good
of these schools. Graded and
are more far-reaching and helpful
than ever before In any period of their
existence.
This too, has been a remarkably ac-
year among the many churches of
Greenville. It seems that the churches
now have greater Influence over more
people ever before, and they have
developed In our people a more friend-
a desire to reason
together In all matters pertaining to
community welfare. There is, of
course, a great deal yet to be
still this has seen much
good develop in this phase of our
lives. And as a factor in this, the
several classes of the churches
have not been least Important. In
fact, this writer believes that no plan
of religious work this community
has been so effective In reaching the
young men and awakening In them a
sense of their possible usefulness.
Also, municipal progress been
strong and substantial during this
a splendid municipal building
has been erected, new streets opened,
walks built, other at reels
Improved by using, sand and clay,
making truly attractive and
at a comparatively
small cost; a site for the
building has been acquired by the
United Stales Government. All these
progressive steps, and many others,
have been made during the year Just
closing, which carry convictions to
the minds all us that this
been one of th. most productive years
In Greenville's long life.
Such has been her busy life that she
has brought within her homes during
this year, attending to her material de-
and chief executive of the
Slate, members of the State Board of
Education, senators, representatives,
eminent editors, statesmen and prom-
educators, and these from every
part of the State.
This busy life and Its beneficial
Its fills the mind of every patriot
citizen of Greenville with pride in his
little city, and strengthens his hope
for a still greater development of her
men and women and material growth.

Nowhere in North Carolina does a
spirit prevail, than
in the suburban and rural dis-
of Pin county, citizens
of no county are more loyal to the
cause of education. The schools
b. en reduced lo a splendid system; a
course of study is rigidly adhered lo,
thorough grading is Insisted upon at
all times, and every child Is being
given a chance. The term has
been increased during the past seven
from three and one-fourth
months lo five and one-fourth months.
