The State is today taking care of tens of thousands of its young men after they have become criminals 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 the criminals of tomorrow, unless wisely corrected and protected today.

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 from page Raleigh A. and M.

The warmest debate of the day curred on the bill amending the char- of Elizabeth City, and reducing the number of wards from seven to four. There were a number of bills, and any former bills passed second and third readings. While the house occupied most of day In further consideration of the revenue bill, which had to be gone into carefully, there was time for the introduction of numerous new j bills, most of them local. Representative Mooring introduced a supplemental bill to the Greenville township road bill, and introduced one to change the boundary line of Farmville grad- ed school district. N. C, Feb.

G, FRIDAY, MARCH 1911. in her HOPES HIS HOME COUNTY WILL GET GOOD ROADS IX See How Anybody Can Object To The Place. A gentleman who was raised on a farm in Pitt county, but is now a prominent business man in another State, writes a letter commending The Reflector for its improvement and progress, and am always interested in anything I hope you are going to get the good roads you arc work- on, too. I don't see how anybody can object to the plan you have, for it seems to me that the man who would get the least benefit from it would be paid many times over for his part of the cost. There are so many people in the world who are not willing to benefit themselves a deal, or even a little bit, be- cause somebody else gets a share of It; and they are therefore willing to drag along to avoid doing some- thing that some other fellow may be by a CHARRED BODY FOUND.

The Greenville Reflector says that Pitt is a great county, and so it is.

Greenville's interest in baseball the coining season was shown by the 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.

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.

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. It Would Create A Monopoly to The injury of The People. 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. D. M. CLARK.

One of these, Enoch, we are told, did not die. Another of them, Moses, we are told, died and was buried. Of the third one, the special subject of our lesson, it is not stated whether be died or not. But it is our understanding that he did die. The heaven to which Elijah was taken by a whirlwind was the aerial heaven, in which the birds fly. His taking away after this manner was in order to complete the typical of his lite, as we shall see. That neither he nor Enoch went to heaven, in the sense of passing into the or spiritual state and into the presence of God, is clearly testified to by Jesus, who declared. man hath ascended up to heaven, save he who came down from heaven, even the Son of Although of Enoch It is declared that he was trans- lated that he should not see death, it is not that be was translated to Where he now is no man knows.

Caught Up In a Whirlwind Many Christians have not noticed that there i not only a difference be- tween the heavenly salvation, which God has provided for the Church, and the earthly restitution which God has provided for the world, but there are two distinct classes of the Church brought to our attention In the Bible.

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 is emphasized by the 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 permanent good Hon.

Only the unthinking, the will regard credit as valuable. except the credit that means mate endorsement in trade or 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 must come a day of some kind of reckoning, but usually before that, is the siege of duns, of various visits from collectors, the apprehensive and the ever present thought that the account must be settled some day some manner. It is not the young wage earner's fault usually that he or she be- comes a chronic credit seeker, and must be black listed. Many a mer- chant must answer for this credit system, that will destroy any wage earner, if persisted in. As to commercial credits these are quite different. They are limited, have trade usage, or are guaranteed by 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 pay can have no excuse to seek de- 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.

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 death. His family did not become aware of his absence from his room until several hours later. They were horrified to find him dead in the barn with the rope around his ham Sun. The would The Truth Again.

The 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 towns has been marked.

White and Mrs. Haywood cut for the prize, and Mrs. being the winner was awarded a brass candle stick tied with cherries and patriotic ribbon. The folding doors were thrown op- en between the library and dining room in which was a miniature tree, and each guest was given two minutes to guess how many cherries were on the tree. Mrs. Mose- guessing nearest was given a glass candle stick tied with cherries and ribbon. I Miniature bags trimmed with and hatchets and filled with salt- ed almonds were placed on each table. The entire house was beautifully decorated with potted plants, cut flowers, flags and other decorations appropriate to the occasion. A delightful salad course, coffee and delicious red, white and blue ices and cake, were served about o'clock, and the guests departed reluctantly, voting Mrs. Hassell a most charming hostess.

If the copies that go to the newspapers were sent blank, some use could be found for the paper. As it is the leaves are too small to sell for old papers, and they come in such shape as to be cumbersome to the waste basket. We used to get rid of ours by giving them to the barbers to make pads for wiping their razors on, but in this day they have found a much better substitute. Since the right men have gotten behind the movement for a new ho- tel in Raleigh, the outlook is that city will get one sure enough. Messrs. R. H. Ricks and T. L. Bland, Rocky Mount, who made famous the Ricks Hotel in that town and also have hotel interests in some other towns, have purchased a lot in and will begin In April to erect a modern live-story hotel thereon. It has been shown by investigation that North Carolina is not self-sup- porting, that there is not as much food crops produced in the state as the people consume. If all the other counties will take up the de- termination of Pitt, to raise more 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. It looks like if Marion Butler had any self respect left, he would stop making himself more in the eyes of the people by trying to get some other state to become his collecting agent on those old North Carolina bonds.

The legislature came very near putting in a whole day's work Sat- starting at o'clock in the morning and continuing in session until p. m., and meeting again after supper and working until nearly mid- night. But nearly everything done was along the same line of local meas- that has characterized the body, matters that might well enough have been attended to by county of towns. North Carolina journalism is to lose Mr. Thad R. Manning, much as In most of the States governors have the veto power, North Carolina one of the exceptions. It is really a debatable question it it; expedient for one man, either in a state or in the nation, to have vested in him the power to annul the acts of the law making bodies of a state or the nation. The veto power is sometimes badly abused, even to the detriment of public interests. Some people say they are in favor Of good roads provided somebody else will build them. Then they ought to favor a bond issue to build the roads with. Then they would have only to pay a rental in the shape of a small tax, to enjoy the benefits of the roads during their life time and the generation that follows would do the same thing. We notice that some information as to second-class postage rates, sent by Postmaster General Hitch- cock in a personal letter to North Carolina newspapers, is finding its way in print in some instances. Not- withstanding it was a matter of in- only to the newspaper men themselves and not to their readers. Proposed new counties named for some noted man had easier sailing before the legislature than those named for a section. Hoke and Avery were established, while Piedmont fell by the wayside. It remains to be seen what will be done with Jarvis. The two new ones established give the State an even hundred counties.

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 Texas offers the Mississippi delta no solid for. hope Neither does the failure of a planter decidedly adverse south of an east- and-west line drawn through Natchez Miss. That is, for Louisiana, and probably any other regions south of this line where the same warm climate, drainage conditions moisture prevail. authors or no future there, at least until effective means of destroying the pest shall have been found, fact, there a general abandonment of cotton in favor of sugar cane, corn and other crops. The total yield of a selected group of Louisiana par- represents a fall from bales in 1906 to bales in 1909. In parish, which is slightly above the Natchez line, there was at first a heavy decrease but later a strong recovery. Northward the weevil has been fought successfully and southward unsuccessfully. The northern limit maximum damage by the weevil these authors believe to be an east-and-west line run through Vicksburg, about fifty miles north of Natchez and sixty south of Greenville. Beyond this line the weevil presents no obstacle to profit- able cotton-growing which may not be readily overcome by the use of the proper seed and the proper With drainage carefully looked after, the fight for short cotton may be considered easy. Staple cotton 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 crisis, and, adapting itself to the changed conditions, is more pros- than before. Another county where the landowners nearly all live in the towns and the tenants are individually by mer- chants goes to pieces. It is a case of save himself who can, merchants foreclosing on their irresponsible unsupported debtors at once.

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. Goes lo for Treatment We learn through Mr. S. M.

Magazine for March. 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.

w-w The Carolina Home and Farm and The Eastern Reflector. The Rome mid Farm and The Reflector- 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 to be by ten. 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 know. Q. G. DIXON. Th THE SOCIAL CLUB. There Should be no About Closing Them. liquor is to be sold it should be sold says the Statesville Landmark, discussing the failure of the legislature, so far, to deal with the social clubs. But what are you going to do about out the gentleman able to order it in larger quantities, leaving the poor devil who cannot afford to buy more than a half pint at a time, out in the cold The truth is is going to get a black eye one of these days. We believe the great majority of people favor it, but if these clubs are to be let alone to run saloons which many of them are do- the common people, if you please, are going to rise up. Enforce the law without discrimination and it will be a success, but the moment the ordinary citizen gets it into his head that the well-to-do man is while he is closed down on, there will be something doing. Already one hears it said that the reason the legislature does not go these kind of clubs is because of the influence of the members, who are men of means, etc., but this cry it to be expected. Another reason given for not act- is that even the prohibitionists are afraid to put on the screws too tight for fear of a reaction, but this won't do. A law that has to be up by such practices is of no account and will soon come to We do not believe the has the power to pass an act preventing a member of a club from keeping his private liquor at the club at home or elsewhere, but we do know that the practice of running a regular barroom can be killed.
