Number II,
Where Farmers Fail in Fertilization for Tobacco
O. L. JOYNER, President Farmers Consolidated Tobacco Company
There is no one thing that is more
generally ignored by farmers, or
treated Indifferently by them, than
the matter of fertilizing for the to-
crop, while In reality, there is
probably no one feature In the grow-
of tobacco that more import-
ant. For a long time, our farmers
used almost exclusively for tobacco
a brand of fertilizer analyzing 3-8-
that is to say, a fertilizer con-
per cent, ammonia, per
cent phosphoric acid and per cent
potash, which to be more explicit
means that in a ton of fertilizer
containing this analysis there are
pounds of ammonia, pounds of
potash and pounds phosphoric
acid. By actual test, it Is known
that pounds of tobacco takes
out of the soil about pounds of
potash and from to pounds of
ammonia. Of course, our tobacco
soils all have a certain amount of
ammonia and potash, but the
question for the farmers is
whether this ammonia and potash
that is present in the soil, is avail-
able in sufficient quantities to make
complete plant food for a growing
crop of tobacco. Most of our farm-
use about pounds of
to tho acre. This means they
put in pounds of potash and
pounds of ammonia In commercial
form. If there is sufficient quantity
of potash and ammonia available in
the soil to complete the plant food,
all well and good, but if not, the re-
is a poor crop of tobacco, some-
thing with which a great many of us
have been afflicted during the last
few years, and in this connection,
here, it is not out of place to
say that no amount of fertilizer is
going to make a good crop of to-
when such abnormal seasons
as we have had in Eastern North
a for the last few years
although proper preparation
will, to a large extent, overcome the
deficiency in seasons, and will en-
able the plant to employ the plant
food put in the land to a much bet-
advantage. The Important
however, with farmers is, do
we use enough ammonia and potash
in our tobacco fertilizer As a gen-
rule the answer is
ably, no. We should therefore use
fertilizer running higher, especially
in potash.
One of the most painstaking and
intelligent farmers in my knowledge
Mr. Leon F. Evans, has clearly
by a series of experiments
that the use of guano running high
in sulphate of potash will pay. In
his tests, he used fertilizer running
from per cent to per cent potash,
and from to per cent ammonia.
From tobacco on which he used
pounds of fertilizer analyzing per
cent potash, he sold something over
worth of tobacco per acre more
than from the tobacco fertilized
with 3-8-3, and all the tobacco was
treated, cultivated, cured and sold
alike, except in the matter of
It has been found, very much to
the disadvantage of our Eastern
North Carolina tobacco, especially
that its burning qualities are not as
good as the burning qualities of the
old belt tobacco and in a series of
meetings last fall, held under the
of the Tobacco As-
of the States, and
participated in by Mr. E. H. Matheson
an expert from the United States De-
of Agriculture, this import-
ant matter was urgently called to the
attention of the farmers. Mr. Mathe-
son contended that the general use
by farmers of a fertilizer running
or per cent in sulphate of potash
would very materially Improve the
burning qualities of our tobacco, and
thus materially add to its value. This
matter should be seriously considered
by all our farmers, for while in in-
instances, may ma-
add to the money value of
their crops of tobacco by using more
potash, yet, to improve the general
quality of our tobacco, farmers, us a
whole, must adopt this system of
fertilizing.
The use of pounds of
running per cent sulphate pot-
ash gives to the tobacco the
ate use of lbs. of sulphate pot-
use of pounds of sulphate of pot-
ash. That soil would therefore have
to be very deficient In potash content
that did not yield a good crop of to-
with pounds of such
in normal seasons. The serious
condition and discussion of this
question will redound to tho
good of the tobacco farmers.
A Pointer to Farmers.
The Sun is always glad to aid the
farmers and do what it can for their
advancement and the promotion of
their Industries and give them a
greater success.
Mr. W. C. the buyer for
the A. T. Company, gives us a hint,
and we use it in the hope that it will
be beneficial to the farmers and at
the same time enable them to real-
better results from the sale of
their tobacco. The suggestion is
Before planting tobacco seed blow
the carefully to get out the chaff
or faulty seed, and in this way you
can rid the planting of seed that will
make a faulty of tobacco. Or
else, another way is to put the seed
in just before planting, and
this will bring all of the faulty seed
to the top and can easily be
The farmers are requested to do
this before they bow their plant bed,
and thus improve the next crop. Such
a precaution has been known to in-
crease the value of crops In other
states to a very handsome per cent.
It is worth Sun.
The Man Who Helps.
A town's best asset is a bunch of
men who have money, enterprise

es an enterprise which enables many
other people to a living while
he makes something on their labor,
is a desirable citizen and public

roll to meet is not a theoretical but

Rotation for Farm Conditions.
Now is the time to plan crop rota-
for the farm and while changes
may be made, if necessary, it will be
found most satisfactory to lay out
the fields and plan the crop rotations
so that there will be system and
method in the farming operations.
A lawyer or doctor may spend weeks
studying one case, why should we
not put our best though and
time in planning a rotation of
crops for the farm Surely the
of tho matter merits our
best Farmer.

to land the less he pleases the

The more talking a man does the
more denying he has to do.
Nitrate of Soda for Crops,
If wheat or oats do not seem
thrive as they should, it is o good
practice to apply some nitrate of
soda. I have used as much as
pounds an acre on wheat, always
plying when the leaves are dry, to
avoid scalding. In one experiment
I increased the wheat crop nine bush-
els an acre on part of fie Held with
an application of of
nitrate, this part making bushels
where the rest of the Held made
bushels, the land being in rather a
low state of fertility. But followed
that wheat with peas and gathered
only the peas, the next season
that land made a fine corn crop. Could
have made heavier one had fol-
lowed the peas with crimson clover,
but at that time we had not found
out the value of this clover.- V.

GREAT VALUE
OF THE DAIRY PRODUCTS
IT IS A PROFITABLE INDUSTRY.
A Matter of Interest to the
of Keith Carolina.
According to Information furnished
by the United Stales department of
commerce and gal-
of cotton seed oil were produced
in North Carolina In 1909. This was
worth approximately This
is a considerable amount of money
and the market which demands this
product is an important one to the
people of the Slate.
This fact has held men who wish
to see oleomargarine take the place
of butter to make it appear that the
manufacture of oleomargarine fur-
one of the greatest if not the
greatest reasons for this market de-
Hut such is not the case. In
fact the value of the cotton seed
used in the manufacture of this-
product is so small in comparison
that it is not worthy of the least
consideration, especially when the
value of the dairy products of the
state are considered.
We do not have the statistics
but in the value of the
cotton seed oil used in the
of oleomargarine in this country
was 499,458.42. The value of all
the cotton seed oil produced in
was This
means that less than one per cent
of the cotton seed oil sold was
in making oleomargarine.
According to the department re-
port, North Carolina produced about
per cent, of all the cotton seed
produced in 1909. Using this figure
for and we find that the
of the cotton seed oil used in oleo
margarine returned to the cotton,
farmers of North Carolina the com
small amount of
967.50.
According to figures compiled by
the United States department
agriculture, the value of butter pro-
in North Carolina in 1908 was
or for every dollar's worth
of cotton seed oil used in making
oleomargarine the cows of the state
returned over worth of dairy
products.
These are facts which the farmers
of North Carolina should carefully
consider before they lend their sup-
port to any movement which dis-
courages dairying. An in
the production of dairy products in
North Carolina will be just times
of greater value than an increase in
the production of oleomargarine. This
is not even taking in to consider-
the value of dairying in build-
up the fertility of the soil, thus
making the land more productive in
growing cotton.
The farmers of North Carolina
should awake to the benefits of dairy-
and should use every legitimate
means to footer and promote this
important industry.

One of most difficult things is
to do things a little differently from
your neighbors and yet that is
among the first of the needs in the
life of America today. The
life of the city is different from that
of the country. There the quicken-
influence of growth and
accelerate development, co-op-
is in voluntary and there is
less need for a large number of
leaders.
In the country the problem is more
complicated. The average farmer
lives the year round in a rut. Many
of his customs he has inherited from
his father. Others he copies from
his neighbors. As a result life pro-
from one year's end to an-
other with not one-tenth degree of
the progress witnessed in the city,
into which Is all the time pouring
new Ideas and new influences.
To illustrate, it has been the
tom for decades in the country to
squabble over land lines, over differ-
in religious opinion, etc. It
has been a custom here and there to
indulge in that baneful neighborly
gossip which does no one any good
and does everybody concerned an
Infinite amount of harm. One com-
may have the one horse habit
where it should have the two horse
habit. One county may be sticking
to old Inherited methods of
when It needs modern, scientific
methods. One county may need more
schools, or better teachers, or longer
terms and more teachers.
One fact, thousands
of them in this
each year to the city a great many
more of its young men and women
than it can. afford. There is a way
to keep these young men and
men at home, and to invest in the
country the energy that
in the city.
Now, I suggest that if you want to
write yourselves down as a
factor to your fellows, that you get
out and start doing some of these
things that the rest of your neighbors
are too lazy, too blind, or too busy to
do or see.
One wide-awake, energetic, self-
sacrificing man in a county can ac-
wonders.
The results may net he apparent
at once, but if the task is followed
with patience and persistence, they
are sure in the long run.
In the olden days, when this
try was a wilderness, it took the
hardest sort of courage for men to
be pioneers. It takes as much or
more courage of another sort to be
pioneer in our civilized age, when
it conies to starting the task of up-
building our country districts. The
man who launched it is going to run
up against enough snags and dis-
and and in-
difference to make him feel that he
is wearing a crown of thorns.

Get Enough Horse Power.
I was once talking with a State
commissioner of agriculture, re-
marked that when I was farming on
a large scale I used ten mules. He
said, is too many. A four-
horse farm is all that one man should
and his idea of a four-horse
farm, was a tract of land on which,
where I now live no one would think
of using less than eight horses. On
such a farm as this man indicated,
every one of the four horses would
be hitched to a plow to plow the
land for the crop, and every plow
would take a man, and the plowing
would be about three inches deep,
while the eight horses would take
no more men, but the team would
plow at least six inches deep, and
the same four men would cultivate
a far larger area with two-horse rid-
cultivators. We need to get away
from the old idea of estimating a
farm by horses, and should use all
the horses we can make profitable.

Circumspection.
If Mexico were to plant a large
army and navy on the edge of the
United States, with the announce-
that these forces were to be
used us in case we did not
handle our affairs to suit Mexico,
what would happen
Mexico is a peaceful neighbor of
the United States. It has scrupulous-
Observed American rights, and has
not committed any act of hostility.
Mexico's troubles are her own. Why,
then, should the United States make
an armed demonstration against Mex-
If nothing happens on the Mexican
border this great military
have cost the United States
a lot of money uselessly. If some-
thing does happen, it will be because
the United States has precipitated it
by this warlike move.
We are convinced that the people
of the United States do not want war.
They do not want Mexico, and they
do not wish to in Mex-
international troubles. They do
not care whether or the
win. They are concerned
with their own affairs, and are
that this country should be at
peace abroad and tranquil at home,
so that every man can devote him-
self to his own business.
It would be an irretrievable step
if an American army should enter
Mexico. No man can tell the con-
sequences of such a move. The effect
upon the administration, the changed
relations with Mexico and the rest of
Latin America, the attitude of for-
are a sealed
book. All that can be said with
is that any step in the direct-
ion of the occupation of Mexico is
most momentous and fear-reaching,
and should be considered long and
carefully.
The of troops on the
can border is a step toward the
of Mexico. It may not be so
intended, but the effect may be the
same as if the order contemplated
the capture of the City of
a clash should occur between
can and Mexican troops, the
can army will march forward. It will
never turn backward until the City
of Mexico is occupied, and perhaps
not then.
Nothing is easier than to make a
demonstration of military force. The
military advisers of the president
may be depended upon to make the
most of the argument that a prompt
display of force will tend to prevent
trouble and disrupt the revolution in
Mexico. But this advice is freighted
with menace peace of the Unit-
ed States. There are greater factors
involved, which the military men may
not estimate at their full value.

Editor
Some few days ago, when the sun
was shining, and no doubt The Re-
thought that spring had come,
your editorial column chided the anti-
bond people with a decrease in their
criticism of the sand clay roads. But
like the whole bond proposition, only
the present was thought of, and no
eye was cast into the future. Now
the rain has come, the mud is deep,
and the sand-clay roads ought to be
ashamed of themselves to place their
boosters in such a plight. Why even
the plank road, the road that all the
bond advocates have pointed to with
so much eloquence is a mud-terror.
A few days ago the
were giving joy rides out on the
Falkland road to demonstrate its
magnificence; today not a one of
them will venture upon its bosom. A
few days ago a bond advocate would
have split his shirt in eulogizing that
road; today no man who lives on it
can refrain from cussing. Any up-
man who has plodded
his youthful ways along the red clay
roads of Granville and other count-
to the west, and who has lived
down here with us for quite awhile,
could not resist the tears of youth-
memories, nor refrain from whist-
ling Sweet when first
his eyes rest upon the long red
streak of mud that wends its way
toward Falkland. Out there now can
be heard no honk honk of the joy

of wheels, who had rather be dead

Mr. Editor, it seems to me that the
present condition of things ought to
demonstrate to all that sand-clay
roads are only fair-weather roads,
and also incidentally, that the sum
doesn't shine all the time. Of course,
some bond agitator will Bay that the
present roads are not constructed
properly and all that; and then the
question arises if it costs a thousand
dollars a mile to make them they
are now, how much more will it take
to construct them properly.
Some time ago you were shouting,
to the people to but it
seems to the writer that the friends
of the bond issue would be afraid to
call an election for fear a shower of
rain would catch them in the midst
of their campaign; and if it did, then
they would have only the art gallery
in front of The Reflector office to fall
back upon.

It is a Press, large enough

pages and has steam fixtures so that it can be run

It is a splendid press for a weekly paper and

The punch bowl was surrounded by
pink orchids and evergreens. The

vases, here and there in the hall and

ladies were charming in their pretty,
girlish frocks of either pink or

the advantages of the school. For
the coming summer courses

already been engaged, with addition-
applicants coming in at the rate
of five or ten a day which have to
be denied for lack of room.

the failure of the legislature to pro-

that the action of that body toward

THE SCHOOL TOO SMALL.
The niggardliness of the last leg-

more apparent in comparison with
what was done for other educational
institutions. In almost every other

made tor support and maintenance,
but also for extensions and improve-

a scant appropriation for

paid out of this, and the school got
nothing for improvements.
The people of Eastern North Caro-
have sufficient cause to feel that
this matter they were treated bad-
and unjustly by the legislature.
The education committee of that body
visited the school, saw its needs of
enlargement and recommended the
making of an appropriation accord-
but the appropriation failed.
Greenville and Pitt county put
in the building and equipment
of this and presented it to the
State, and State has only put

who has seen school acknowledges

The House Weights and
Measures Club is a new organization
recently perfected in Indianapolis,
Ind., with a membership of several
hundred women of that city. The
club has officers and trustees, and is
said to be the first of its kind ever
formed in this country. Its establish-
it is believed, will be followed
by the organization of similar so-
in other large cities. The
purpose of the organization is to ob-
a strict enforcement of the
laws regarding scales, weights and
measures.
The women of Indianapolis are
represented as taking a great inter-
est in the movement. Every
of the new society, by reason of
its rules, must weigh and measure
all goods delivered at their houses,
and whenever any thing is found to
be short, the fraction of an ounce or
an inch, it is to be the duty of the
member to call up the city
tor and vigorously prosecute the of-
fender. The Post does not know
whether there is need for such a
society in hopes not
but in cities where there is a call
for an organization of the kind, it
appears, it would be a good thing.
The society would at least have a
healthy effect in bringing about

The Reflector will certainly be
glad when it succeeds in hammering
into the minds of the people the fact
that Greenville needs more man-
enterprises. The growth
of our population is slow because
people cannot afford to move to a
town unless they can find some
employment there. If there were
started up in Greenville
enterprises to give employment
to an additional thousand people,
the thousand people would be here
in a very short time. Every ad-
citizen helps the town that
much.
Pitt county will in a few months
more have a new court house, one
of the finest and most modernly con-
in the state, and every
of the county will be proud of it.

now that the honor of presiding over
the first be held in this new
court house should fall upon Judge
Harry W. Whedbee, and we hope the
matter will be taken up in time for

We cannot fail to recognize the
naturalness of The Reflector's
but none the less we counsel
patience on its part. The entire
state finds cause for great

necessities of the case, must and

The Eastern Carolina Training
School has more than justified its
establishment. Not only are its reg-

The energy and intelligence which
have been displayed in its inception

A Book That Inspires The
Heart
Several years ago I purchased and
a great deal of pleasure
and information this book, Old
The author, the Rev.
Jas. Battle Averitt, was a minister
the Episcopal church in this State,
and I have frequently inquired about
him, but only until recently could I
get any information concerning him.
Some time ago, I saw an article in
Confederate from the
author of this book, whose post office
address I learned was Cumberland.
Md. I thereupon wrote him to
if I could get another copy from
him as some friends had borrowed
and neglected to return mine, and in
answer, he told me that the book
was now out of print, and that he
had been treated very shabbily by
the publishers, who only had derived
revenue from the publication of the
book, but that he would endeavor to
secure a copy for me. which he did,
and I received it a few days ago.
The book is written in a highly
attractive style, and portrays the
manners and customs, and depicts
the scenes of the old plantation life
in the South before the war. A few
years after I had read this book the
first time and became so much
pressed with its characters and the
beautiful imagery of the times, writ-
ten In the matchless style that only
one who has lived amid such scenes
can write, I happened to visit the
section in which the farm, the model
from which Old was
written In Onslow county. As I
drove down the road so minutely de-
scribed in this book, on each side of
me, as far as I could see, extended
a level plateau or table land, as fine
farming land as I have ever seen.
On each side of the roadway before
the war, there was a very thick row
of cedars, so thickly set that at mid-
day the roadway was almost entirely
obscured of so dense was
the shade. The original plantation
contained something over
acres, and while today it has been
cut up, and is owned by many
yet, the passer-by will witness
many evidences of the splendor, ex-
tent and magnitude of Old
Plantation No true Southern-
can read the book without feel-
a deeper interest and kindlier
feeling for his country, and for
civilization which must have been
one of most enchanting, delightful
and fascinating ever lived on earth,
and the like of which will probably
never be witnessed again.

HOW TO MIX
Information Needed on
Its
Ayden, N. C, March it is
about time to be buying and home
mixing guano, I will give you my
plan of getting a thorough mixture.
Will take cotton seed meal, acid and
as an example. Pour out as
many sacks of each as your room
will allow. I usually get under a
good size shelter with hard bottom.
Have three hands in order to do the
work properly. Let two of them
have shovels and stand directly op-
each other and shovel the mix-
to a new pile two or three feet
from where it was first poured out,
each man being strictly required to
pour his shovel full right on the
pinnacle of the pile to which they
are moving it. In this way all little
clods and knots will roll down the
side of the pile to the bottom when
the third man can see them and crush
them with the back of a shovel or
hoe. Now and then the others can
help him keep up with clod crush-
Two movings in this way will
give a splendidly mixed fertilizer,
especially as it will then have to be
put into the sacks again.
While writing about mixing
I will also give a little opinion
of some men about acid. You may
talk to them about acid mean
acid phosphate, of and they
will say it it no account, that
tried it and got no benefit from it.
Yet they will buy guano with
per cent, acid, per cent ammonia,
and per cent potash and think it
all right. Don't know that there is
four times as much acid in that mix-
as there is ammonia of potash.
There is a crying need for a more
general information on this
subject. Dead oodles of money are
thrown away for guano for want of
knowing anything about it.

The Reflector is now using a
mailing machine in addressing papers,
and the subscriber is printed on the
margin of the paper instead of be-
written. This makes the ad-
dress plainer and lessons the danger
of a paper getting lost by being poor-
addressed. Another advantage is
that after the name appears the date
to which the subscription is paid, and
the subscriber can toll how much he
owes tho paper. For illustration, if

WELL PLAYS
HIE TROUBLE l MEXICO.
BY E. T. T. S. CLASS.
Rendered With Much Credit to Them-
selves and the School.
It is a pity that such beastly
came Monday evening as to great-
interfere with the audience in East
Carolina Training School
to witness the two plays by the
class. As it was there
was a fair sized audience, but many
more would have gone over from
town had it not teen tor the weather.
Those v BO braved the inclemency
were more than repaid for going for
the plays were truly delightful and
faultlessly rendered.
The Reflector has print-
ed the cast of characters in these
plays, so will not repeat them now.
The first play
a comedy in one act, was rendered
by Misses Jennie Williams, Lillie
Tucker, Louse Fleming. Mary Wood-
bum, Essie Ellington, High-
smith and Juanita Dixon. They
were well chosen for their res-
parts. A lost purse con-
money and rings, which was
supposed to have been stolen by a
kleptomaniac, created a great stir
and confusion, which was relieved
upon finding the purse in
the cloak pocket of the owner, the
discovery being made by one of the
guests who put on the wrong cloak
when about to take her departure
The second play was a farce,

sell. From beginning to end this
kept the audience almost convulsed
with laughter over the ludicrous
situations of two boys being in love
with and trying to make love to the
same girl at the same time, the dis-
of one being increased by
the young lady's maid who came in
while he was rehearsing his
before a mirror and thought he
was making love to her.
The entire performance brought
credit to every one participating in
it, as will as to the school, and a
are to be congratulated.
The weather keeping so many . cf
the town people from getting over
to see the play, they missed a great
deal, and The Reflector believes they
would appreciate another
of seeing it. We know the pupils
of the school are very busy with
their work, but think they might be
induced to repeat the plays one night
this week if the people cf the town
express a desire to that effect. The
plays wore so excellent as to be
more than worth the effort to go
them repeated.
The Right Place to
The business man who neglects to
promote his business by means of an
advertisement in The Reflector, is
certainly missing an opportunity.
This paper is read eagerly every day
by its more than twelve hundred sub-
as well as by other members
of their families, to say nothing of
the additional large number of
rowers. In fact every person who
can get a hand on the paper reads
It, not only the news but also the
advertisements, and it is the place
where business announcements
should be placed to be read.
Some men make a lot of money by
selling other people money
secrets.

varsity scrub baseball teams
lined up for the first practice game
of the season Friday afternoon. The
scrimmage lasted seven innings and
came out to in favor of the var-
The line-up for the first string
was Lee and Sloan, pitchers; Wither-
catcher; first base
Hasty, second; Lindsey, short; Ed-
wards, third base Hackney center
Page, left field; right
field. The prospects are that Caro-
will have a fast infield and will
fee weak on batteries. Clancy has
announced his intention to try to de-
a team that can win by its hit-
ting and base running, things that
he says win the majority of college
games.
The first round of the
debate between Carolina, Virginia,
Tulane and Georgia will
come off this spring, probably on
April The question is the nation-
income tax. Each college will de-
bate both sides of the query. Carolina
has the negative against Virginia and
the affirmative against her time hon-
enemy, Georgia. Carolina won
from both Georgia and last
spring and from the University of
Pennsylvania last fall. A strong
crowd has entered for the
nary contest that will be held this
week and the prospects are that
Carolina will be able to keep to the
high standard that she has
during the last ten years.
The basket ball team closed its
season with a close game on

and everybody interested in the
outcome expected Virginia to win by
a heavy lead. The score was only

second half and scored nine points

basket ball team that has ever rep-
resented the University and their
work is regarded as having been
highly successful.

LONG DISTANCE WIRELESS.
Marconi Receives Message Through
Air of Miles.
An important discovery in the field
of wireless telegraphy by
Marconi, as the result of experiments
during a voyage to Argentina, is at-
attention in the scientific
press of the world. An official of
the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Corn-
pan- states in London Engineering
that the results point to the
of the system as being now
beyond limit. Mr. Marconi took
with him on his voyage a receiving
instrument and a kite and made
for the transmission to
the ship of messages from the
at Ireland, and
Bay Nova Scotia. The kite was
flown by means very long wire,
the inventor receiving messages by
this means from a distance of over
miles in the daytime. But for
the fact that a storm arose and made
the flying of the kite impossible, mes-
sages could have been received at an
even greater distance.
The transmission and reception of
a message at such a distance easily
constitutes a record, according to our
technical contemporary, and the value
of the result is considerably enhanced
by the fact that it was attained
the daytime. Hitherto, for some
reason which has not been fathomed,
it has been found possible to trans-
messages at much greater dis-
by night than by day. Al-
most invariably the long-distance
messages regarded as record-breaking
from the point of view of distance
have been transmitted by night. In-
deed, so great have been the dis-
traversed by night at times
that they have come to be known as
The sending of a

Happiness of Home.
It makes little difference in home
happiness whether you own your
house, or have one little room on the
sixth floor of an apartment house.
You can make that one little room
the perfection of all that is worth
living for, a quiet harbor to which a
husband will turn feeling that he
has run out the storms of his day's
work into the security of something
that is real.
We are not all born with the sun-
shine in our hearts as the Irish
prettily term it, but we can all
coax some of it in there if we only
try.
The faculty of seeing bright

might cultivate with profit to each
other.
Courtesy is of more value in the
home than many believe it to be. It
is easier to love a person than It is to
be always courteous to him, and yet
it is one of the most valuable recipes
for keeping that love fresh within
our Sun.

of sand and stone brought down from

the peaks were forest-clear, they held

humus, and well-soaked soil. Now,
however, the mountains are in thou-

Statistic on Tobacco Average.
The voted down the
measure authorizing the agricultural
department to collect statistics con-
the acreage and condition of
the tobacco crop during the season,
that the trade might use this
to establish prices, which
usually, because of lack of
start low at the opening of the
market and the small farmer sells
his crop at a disadvantage.
Tho cost of gathering this
would be a mere bagatelle
and, as Mr. O. L. n
tobacconist of Eastern North
Carolina, who was here yesterday
suggested, the tux listers could easily
secure the acreage of last year and
the present year. Of course the con-
would depend upon the sea-
son, but with the number of acres,
which Information the above plan
certainly reveal, the probable
yield would be very accurately an-
before the opening of tho
market.
The Southern Tobacco Journal was
in favor of the Idea to provide some
way of securing accurate Statistics
as to acreage, etc., if such a plan
would be adopted throughout the to-
growing sections, it would be
of value to the trade.
