The State is today taking care of
tens of thousands of its young men

when they might have been saved
from lives of crime by sane, sensible
and sympathetic interest by the state
From one-fifth to one-
fourth of all arrests in cities have
generally been among under
years of age and in proportion to
ages of our population, decades,
this means that more boys are being
arrested in cities than any other class
of citizens, and these boys are mostly

wisely corrected and protected today.

A Larger Acreage of Cotton, Corn and
Wheat Expected.
After a dry December and
there have been fine rains in the
cotton belt and the New Orleans
report indicate that a great
crop of cotton will be planted. That
paper says that with the approach of
the time for active operations in the
fields the absence of sufficient
became a serious drawback. Far-
could not properly prepare their
lands, and it was evident that seed-
would be useless without
moisture. During the past week or
ten there have been quite cop-
rains and in the drought
section of Texas there have been
downpours, which greatly
changed the aspect of affairs. As a
result farmers have been encouraged
to redouble their preparations for the
season's crops and with anything like
reasonable weather from now on an
increased area will undoubtedly be
planted in cotton, corn, wheat and
other staples. The recent rains have
also greatly improved the for
early vegetables the truck far-
are consequently happy.
The high prices which have
for during the past
years have undoubtedly
aged farmers to plant more extensive-
of that crop than ever before. A
good cotton crop is needed and Is
to sell at paying prices even if
the 15-cent price of the present sea-
son be not reached. The lesson of
proper crop diversification has been
thoroughly learned in the South
that is little danger that farm-
will neglect oilier crops to devote
their whole energy to cotton. Still
with the steady increase in
and with the temptation held out
by the lucrative price, tho desire to
plant more cotton
will be The advance
all indicate that throughout
the cotton belt large planting is be-
arranged for. Mules and
implements and supplies are be-
for on a more liberal
scale than for several years past. All
that was needed to make increased
acreage certain was the advent of
sufficient rain. Now that the rain has
come we may expect to hear of active
work in the field from every part of
the Chronicle.
What the Law Makers are Doing
Two Successful Farmers.
In a issue of an exchange
the other day the following two ex-
of successes by progressive
farmers was noticed. They are
here for tho information and in-
of our readers.
Last year Mr. D. E. of
Princeton, N. C, planted a piece of
corn after oats, which made a very
yield. From one and
acres he gathered eight two-horse
loads. This was fifteen stands or five
barrels, making twenty five bushels
each load. Two hundred bushels
for one and three-quarter acres is
certainly a large yield. This laud
Since planted in clover.
Mr. John Stephenson, of Pleasant
drove, N. C., and his son, Mr. It. I.
who farm together raised
good crops again last year. On their
farm they had an acre of corn which
followed cotton an made a very fine
yield. They broke the land with a
two-horse plow and made the rows
four feet apart, with the corn
inches in the rows. They used
three sacks of 8-3-3 guano and one
hundred of nitrate of soda
and one hundred pounds of top dress-
They made 1-2 bushels of
corn, bundles of fodder, and
bushels of on the

The warmest debate of the day
curred on the bill amending the char-

the number of wards from seven to
four.
There were a number of bills, and
any former bills passed second and
third readings.

Committee to Confer Witt Other

Greenville's interest in baseball

large attendance of enthusiasts at a
meeting in the city hall Tuesday
night, something like being pres-
Mr. J. D. James was asked to
preside over the meeting, and Mr.
G. J. Woodward acted as secretary.
In calling the meeting to order and
stating its Object, Mr. James said he
had received several letters from
Kinston, Grifton and Ayden asking
that Greenville join with those towns
in establishing a league to be com-
posed of strictly home players, each
town to have two games each week,
beginning about the middle of June
and continuing until September.
It was decided to appoint a com-
consisting of Dr. E. A.
and Mr. J. B. James, to meet the
representatives of the other towns at
an early day and get their
for forming the league, and re-
port the result of their conference
back to another mass meeting to be
held as soon thereafter as possible.
The meeting of these representatives
will be held next week.
It was stated with authority
at this meeting Tuesday night that
parties have all their plans ready to
build baseball park here if the
league is organized, and that they
will have the park in readiness In
ample time for the opening of the
ball season.
So it looks like Greenville can en-
joy much good ball playing the com-
summer. As soon as the con-
of representatives of the
four towns is held and the result re-
ported, further detail, be given.

SUGGESTIONS TO THE

The Yield.
To those boys for the
time enter the corn contest. I wish
to remind them It is the

yield of corn the land must be broken

things being equal. The subsoil
should be dry. as well as top
soil, when the land is broken.
is essential, but enough
will upon the ground to
make a fine crop, provided all soaks
in the land and is not allowed to es-
cape.
Then it is necessary to get the land
in fine order, in fact, it should be
in as good condition us most
tobacco beds are when ready to
be sown.
Don't plant before the middle of
April, for if corn is manured,
as yours should be. and planted early
it is almost sure to be dry when ii
is bunching for tassel and at
time more water i needed than any
other time.
Plant Higgs prolific as that seems
to yield better in this county than
Coke's or any other of which I have
heard.
After it is plained, and before it
comes up, a smoothing harrow or
weeder should be run diagonally
across the rows. Stir the land every
week after the first of June, but do
not plow deep, not more than three

V HILL THAT SHOULD PASS.
Value of Careful Selection of The
Seed.
The importance of seed selection
has been practically demonstrated by
Mr. S. A. Bums, an intelligent and
progressive farmer of Anderson. S. C.
He is president of the Anderson
County Farmers Union, and incident-
ally it might be observed that his or-
throughout North Caro-
South Carolina and other South-
States is one of the powerful
tors in developing the wonderful
resources of the South. The
union stands for progressive
and through it the farmers get
the advantage of Hie best methods
for promoting their interests.
Through his experiments in seed
selection. Mr. has produced
a long staple cotton for which he re-
cents from a manufacturer
at Greenville S. C. During the cot-
ton season he sold seven bales at
that price to Mr. Lewis W. Parker,
a well known cotton mill man, in a
nearby city. The bales average
pounds each, and were pro-
on Mr. plantation in
Rock Mill township, Anderson
It is quite easy to recognize great
value in Mr. new long staple
cotton from the fact that he found
a ready and near market for it at
cents per pound. Three years ago
he noticed in his field a stalk of cot-
ton larger than rest and with a
finer grade of lint. He preserved the
seed and from them he has developed
the long staple cotton with which he
intends to plant his whole crop this
year.
Doubtless, Mr. Burns, by his in-
and observation has dis-
covered a finer variety of cotton. He
says the long staple cotton with
which he experimented grows quite
as well as any, making the same
yield per acre with no more fertilizer
and cultivation than is required for
short staple cotton. This cotton has
been grown with success for two sea-
sons on the experimental farm con-
ducted under the auspices of Clem-
son College, an agricultural and tech-
institution conducted by the
State.
For many years the Star has en-
to emphasize the import-
of seed selection of all
and Mr. Burns has furnished
us an example which does it in a
manner that should cause our farm-
to Star.

Editor
For the benefit of the civil
and land surveyors of our
county and community, wish to
state that we have a copy of a bill
that some of the civil engineers of
North Carolina have prepared and
will have introduced at this session
of the assembly. The bill
provides that civil engineers and
land surveyors hi this State shall
hereafter be examined by a State
board of examiners Issued or
refused license to practice engineer-
or surveying in the State. The
bill further provides that
shall be held in Raleigh, and
that a fee of ten dollars shall be
charged for civil engineer's
nations and a fee of five dollars shall
be charged for land surveyor's ex-
Also that engineers shall
be licensed to practice their
professions anywhere within the
of the State, while land survey-
ors shall be barred from all
rated towns and allowed to practice
only in the rural districts.
From a purely engineering stand-
point, both Mr. and I would
be in favor of this bill, but in Justice
to the land surveyors of North Caro-
we are opposing it for the fol-
lowing
We do not think it fair to the pub-
nor justice to the land survey-
ors to disqualify them in cities or
incorporated towns, and thereby de-
the engineer's competition
and placing him on a footing with
the Standard Oil Company, and
big monopolies of the country.
The public is the quickest and fair-
est judge of the competency.
We do not believe that one branch
of the engineering profession should
legislate against the poorer brother
to the extent of requiring the land
surveyor of practical experience who
has not had the advantage a
cal education to be subjected to a
disqualifying examination set up by
college professors. In many
the surveyor of practical
is far. superior to the technical
man.
Should other engineers and
of this section agree with us
on this matter we advise that they
write their representatives in the
general assembly and request them to
oppose the bill.

There will be an election held in
Williamston on March 14th, at which
time of the township will
determine whether or not bonds shall
be issued for the improvement, of
the roads in said township. Every
voter should thoroughly consider the
question from the economical stand-

to enter into settlement of
the matter. People who must travel
roads have had all the experience
wanted this season. They have
seen clearly what bad roads mean

of good roads to a man who has re-

he said that the roads there were
made of sand and clay and pressed
by an immense roller. Then the
roads were and the roller

Arc The Milestones Marking tin
ranee civilization.
Good roads mean progress and
prosperity, a benefit to the people
who live in the cities, an advantage
to the people who live in the country.
Good roads help every section of our
vast domain. Good roads, like good
streets, make habitation along them
most desirable; they enhance the
value of farm lands, facilitate trans-
and add untold wealth to
the producers and consumers of the
country; they are milestones marking
the advance of civilization; they
time, give labor a lift, and
make millions in money; they save
wear and tear and worry and waste;
they beautify the it
touch with the city; they aid the
social and the religious and the ed-
and the industrial progress
of the people; they make better
homes and happier they
are the avenues of trade, the high-
ways of commerce, the mail routes
of Information, and the agencies of
speedy communication. They mean
the economical transportation of
marketable products the maximum
burden at the minimum cost; they
are the ligaments that the
try together In thrift and industry
and intelligence and patriotism; they
promote social intercourse, prevent
and increase
the happiness and the prosperity of
our producing masses; they
to the glory of the country, give
employment to our idle workmen,
distribute the necessaries of life
the products of the fields and the
forests and the
energy and husbandry, inculcate love
for our scenic wonders, and make
mankind and broader and
greater.
Good roads have a money value far
beyond our ordinary conception. Bad
roads constitute our greatest draw-
back to infernal development and
material progress. Good roads mean
prosperous farmers; bad roads mean
abandoned farms, sparsely settled
country districts, and poor congested
over-populated cities, where the poor
are destined to become poorer. Good
roads mean more cultivated farms
and cheaper food-products for the
toilers in the tow bad roads mean
poor transportation, lack of com-
high prices for the
of life, the loss of untold
millions of wealth, and the idle work-
men seeking employment.
Good roads will help those who
cultivate the soil and feed the
and whatever aids the pro-
and the farmers of our
try will increase our wealth and our
greatness and benefit all the people.
The farms are the heart of our
life and the chief source of
our material greatness. Tear down
every edifice our cities and labor
will rebuild them, but abandon the
farms and our cities will disappear
forever.
One of the crying needs of the
country, especially the South, is
good roads. The establishment of
good roads would In a great measure
solve the question of Cue high price
of food and the increasing cost
Jiving. By redlining coat of. trail
pollution it would enable the farmer
to market Lib produce at a
price and at a larger profit at the
same time. It would bring
ties closer and la touch
with centers ox population, there-
by facilitating commerce ideas as
well as of products.
When the agricultural production
alone of the United States for the past
eleven years totals seventy billion
dollars, a sum to stagger the
nation, and it cost more to take this
product from the farm to the rail-
way station than from such station
to the American and European mar-
when the saving in cost of
moving this product of agriculture
over good highways instead of bad
would have built a million miles of
good roads, the incalculable waste of
bad roads in this country is shown to
be of such enormous proportions as
to demand immediate reformation
and the wisest and best statesmanship
but great as is the loss to
mercantile, industrial and to
farming interests, incomparably
greater is the material loss to the
women and children and to the so-
matter as important as
civilization itself. The truth of the
declaration of Charles Sunnier fifty
years ago, that two greatest
forces for the advancement of civil-
are the schoolmaster and good

of the intervening years, and
points to the wisdom of a union of
the educational, commercial, trans-
and industrial interests of
our country in aggressive action for

There is a positive misfortune for
a young man or woman, working
for wages, to have a store credit be-
thirty or sixty days. It is
fortunate for any wage earner to get
into the sinking credit habit. And
yet this habit is often forced upon
the wage earner by store keepers,
who believe that securing such
it will result in getting the wage
earner's cash. From such credit
granting grows the misery upon the
young person. This credit is regard-
ed as a luxury. The indefinite day
to pay a credit account, take the ac-
count beyond the personal
state, so that the wage
cash is spent for other things,
and quite often in other places than
where credit was extended. There

reckoning, but usually before that, is

from collectors, the apprehensive

It is not the young wage earner's
fault usually that he or she be-

must be black listed. Many a mer-

system, that will destroy any wage
earner, if persisted in.
As to commercial credits these are

In the case of the wage earner
there exists no reason to ask or have
credit given. Wages are about the
most certain kind of money, a surety
that is made good with the regularity
of pay day's arrival. Prompt wage

ferment in paying any account, and
the wage earner who learns the true
purchasing power of a dollar, it might
be said, what a cent will buy will
never ask credit. Credit is a luxury

W. D. Pace Imagined He Owed Large
Sums of Money.
Because he thought that he owes
everybody in the world large sums
of money, Mr. W. D. Pace, a well
own and prosperous farmer of
Vance county, went to
his barn early yesterday morning,
placed a plow-line about his neck,
tied it to one of the timbers in the
roof, and jumped off the feed cutter,
His family found him dead several
hours later.
Mr. Pace had been mentally
balanced for some time. He believed
that he owed sums of money to every
person whom he knew or met. He
would go about the country with a
check book, and every person that he
would meet he would insist on pay-
a certain sum. He would go
to the merchants of Kittrell,
with whom he did business, and insist
on paying large accounts which he
didn't owe. Nobody would take the
money and the unfortunate man be-
came so grieved over the fact that
he decided to end his existence.
Mr. Pace was a prosperous farmer,
and at the time that he was seized
with the mania had a large amount
of money in the bank. All of his bills
were paid, and he was indebted to no
one. Fortunately those whom he met
were honest enough not to take the
money, and he suffered no loss on ac-
count of his generosity. His family
took him in charge, and a constant
watch had to be kept upon his move-
He kept insisting that he owed
numerous people large sums of money
and that he was overwhelmed with
the enmity which they bore him on
account of his inability to settle the
claims. He attempted suicide several
times on this account, and his family
had to keep a constant watch on his
movements to keep him from ending
his life.
Finally, early yesterday morning,
he slipped out of bed, went to the
barn, tied a plow line about his neck,
swung it over a rafter of the barn and
jumped from the feed cutter to his

the plan is to turn them into char-

soil, cutting to a minimum the labor
required to clear a tract of logged-

an acre the present almost pro-

The statement issued in a special

while there were less than two
replies, the results of the in-

bulletin shows that the state, once
able to support itself, has lost that
ability through the growth of the
manufacturing Interests. Since
when the first cotton mill was built
on the Tar River, the drift of the
rural population from the country to

The circulation of The Daily Re-

growing demand on the plant for
large posters and book printing, that
the slow speed of its cylinder press,

inadequate to get oat an edition of

get large orders for printing deliver-
ed promptly. To overcome the

It has been shown by investigation
that North Carolina is not self-sup-

the people consume. If all the

corn, it will not be long before this
reproach to the state is removed.
North Carolina could easily produce
enough corn to supply half a dozen
states.

WEEVIL HURT US MUCH.
Presence of The Pest is A Local
Problem.
From the First National bank of
Miss., we have just
ed a booklet Truth
About the Boll which makes
interesting at this juncture.
The authors, Messrs. Alfred H. Stone
and Julian H. Fort, large planters in
partnership, made exhaustive inquiry
into conditions prevailing throughout
a north-and-south stretch of some
miles in the alluvial lands along
the Mississippi river, and an east-
and-west stretch of about miles
through Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas. Their conditions is that
boll weevil simply adds an additional
factor to those which have hereto-
fore demanded consideration in de-
terming the zones of dependable
cotton production.
Messrs. Stone and Fort, whose re-
port is offered by their sponsor as
the result of and single-
minded efforts to learn the exact
truth, declared that the boll weevil
must be considered, first of all, as a
local problem. For instance, the
success of a farmer on a wind-swept

first a heavy decrease but later a

to be an east-and-west line run

admittedly presents somewhat of a
problem, but the authors see no
son why the Mississippi delta should
not continue growing it very much
as before.
The outstanding conclusion, how-
ever, is to the effect that far more
damage has been caused by panic
than by the boll weevil itself. One
county where the plantation owners
or independent farmers live on the
land and stick by it whether the

Would do Well to
For Improvement.
We have often wondered why the
farmers of this section of the south
do not try to improve their cotton
crop by planting seed of the long
variety. That the long staple can
be grown here as easily as the com-
sort staple has been proved by
actual experiments. Last season there
was a considerable of the
long staple in Gaston county and
The Chronicle devoted some space to
the details, especially to the selling
price on the market. Yes-
this paper told of a sell-
a bale of long-staple cotton on
the Concord market. This bale was
grown in Cabarrus, and brought
teen and a half cents a pound, or one
and a half above the market price for
the ordinary cotton. By way of fur-
information, we quote from The
Wilmington Star, the experience of
Mr. S. Burns, an intelligent and ex-
farmer of Anderson, S. C
Mr. Burns is president of the
son County Union. Through
his experiments in seed selection, he
has produced a long staple cotton for
which he received IS cents from a
manufacturer at Greenville, S. C.
During the cotton season he sold
en bales at that price to Mr. Lewis
W. Parker, a well known cotton mill
man in a near-by city. Tho bales
averaged over pounds each, and
were produced on Mr. plant-
in Rock Hill township, Anderson
county. It is quite easy to recognize
great value in Mr. new long-
staple cotton from the fact that he
found a ready and near market for it
at cents per pound. Three years
ago he noticed in the held a stalk of
cotton larger than the rest and with a
liner grade of lint. He preserved the
seed and form these he has developed
the long staple cotton with which he
intends to plant ids whole crop this
year. Doubtless Mr. Burns, by his
intelligence and observation, has dis-
covered a finer variety of cotton. He
says the long staple cotton with
which he experimented grows quite as
well as any, making the same yield
per acre with no more fertilizer and
cultivation than is required for the
short staple cotton. This cotton has
been grown with success for two sea-
sons on the experimental farm con-
ducted under the auspices of Clemson
Chronicle.

A Congressman's Bight.
A few days ago the question of the
rights of a congressman-elect to
the free mail privileges was raised
when an editorial appeared In the
Lenoir News, calling attention to the
fact that Congressman-elect B. L.
was using a mail frank
when his term of office had not yet
begun. We copied the editorial in
question and made some comment in
which one idea was to inveigh against
such rights being granted. It was
in no sense intended to be a personal
criticism of Mr. However,
when he read the article, he did not
regard it as quite fair to himself, as
he was the only man named, and his
friends would, therefore, regard It as
a personal attack. In passing through
the city returning home from Raleigh
he called at the office, not to
the but to tell In a manly
way how he felt about it and to ex-
plain that the use of frank Is a legal
regulation and that a congressman-
elect Is entitled to it from the time
his election certificate is filed.
We confess that it is a provision of
which we were not aware, and In
taking advantage of it, Mr.
is simply following precedent and la
not subject to personal criticism. We
wish to make it plain that such was
not our intention in the first place.
This being true, we still do not be-
the law granting such a
Is right. In reply to a direct
question Mr. said he was
not willing to express an opinion as
to whether the privilege granted is
right or wrong, except insofar as its
being a law makes it Tight.
Such rights granted to congress-
men-elect virtually have the effect of
giving a district two representatives
from the time of the election until
the newly elected congressman's
term actually begins under
4th of March,
it is under a strict and equitable con-
a violation of the
which provides for only one
representative for each It
is unquestionable, further, in that it
is a right congressmen have given to
themselves, and Is not in consistent
accord with the manner in which
they deal with the rest of mankind.
They vote themselves free mail

THE WINTER COURSE
AT A. COLLEGE
Home Valuable Things The Farmers
Are Learning There.
West Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 1911.
Editor
As today is a holiday and I have
no work hand, I will try to write
a short letter to the farmers of Pitt
county, as I think perhaps they may
toe Interested in the agricultural side
of the A. and M. We have been here
seven weeks and have one more to
stay. There are about enrolled in
this winter course and there is not
u single one that regrets the time and
money that he has spent here.
Instead of there ought to have
been at least The work in the
winter course is carried on very
to the institute work, only we
get so much more than can be given
In one days time, and also a good deal
of practical work.
I am very sorry to say that there
are only six here from the eastern
half of the State. The others are
from the west. It was once true that
the wise men were in the east at
least came from the but
now it looks to me as it has
changed, for the men of the west
the ones that are wise enough
to realize that they do not know all
that there is to be known about farm-
lug. They their willingness to
learn by taking the advantages that
are offered to them by the department
of agriculture.
I am sure that the men who attend
this short winter course will go back
home with different ideas about
fertilization, stock feeding, and
everything that is connected with an
up to date farm, from the one that
they came hero with.
people have always believed
and practiced extensive farming in-
stead of intensive farming. We at-
tempt to cultivate too much land,
therefore cultivate none. If we
see that intensive farming pays bet-
extensive, then why not
it Faith without works is like
a ship without a rudder. In the first
place we do not prepare our lands
as we should; need the subsoil
our lands that have a clay
subsoil. Since I have been here I
have compared yields from subsoiled
laud with those from
land and in nearly every instance the
yield was almost double that of the
land. This being true,
then why not use the subsoil
Second, we do not sufficiently
pare the top soil. I have seen the
results of well prepared soil com-
pared with poor prepared soil, and in
every case the increased yield more
the Increased cost of
preparation. Then why not prepare
your lands better, knowing that you
will be well repaid for your time and
work Your answer to this Is that
you do not have time to do so much
work on one small acre of land. This
again proves to us that we should
Intensive fanning instead of
extensive farming. We are
clearing new land each year
and letting our already cleared land
away. If we would spend the
time i working our old land, ad-
vegetation to it and giving It a
preparation for the coming
that we spend in clearing new
laid, then we would get far better
returns from It than we get now from
both the old and the new. To
of the available land in
North Carolina as it should be
our population would

Third, the thread bare subject of
the use of commercial fertilizer, of
which we use so much and know so
little about its use. In the State of
North Carolina there is spent every
year millions of dollars, that we get
no returns from. Now, this may not
appeal very much to you, the
farmer, but you must
that it is the little leaks that sink
great ships. Although the farmers
are beginning to realize the great
saving in home mixing, yet there is
another saving that is far more
than home mixing and
that is the proper application of fer-
to the soil. We waste mil-
lions of dollars annually by using
unbalanced fertilizer. Different crops
need different fertilizer and it is the
same with soils. Have you over stop-
to think about and find out just
what kind and what quantities of
plant food that different crops and
different soils need Have you ever
thought about which of these
of plant food that your soil
was the most deficient in Whether
or not you needed more nitrogen, more
potash, or more phosphoric acid An
unbalanced fertilizer is almost worth-
less. Have ever figured out
how much that you would save by
growing legumes and quit buying
These are a few of the
things that every farmer should

Already one hears it said that the

Yesterday.
Mrs. William Baxter Poe, of Chat-
ham county, died yesterday at the
home of relatives in Georgie. Mrs.
Poe was the mother of Clarence H.
Poe, of this city and since Mr. Poe
has been abroad had together with
her daughter, Daisy Poe, been
staying with relatives in Georgia.
Her only son, Mr. Clarence H. Poe,

him of his mother's death. His
boat was two days overdue, having
been delayed by rough weather. He
left New York last night and will
pass through Raleigh tonight. He will
be joined here by friends and they
will meet his mother's remains at

regret. Her husband died
