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. We think Mr. Joyner's plan is u good Times. East Carolina Training School Notes. Supt. Chas. L. Coon, of Wilson schools, gives instruction in writing at the Training school each Saturday.

Why Bulk of are in The Car- The New Orleans Picayune cannot understand why the bulk of the cot- ton mill business of the South is confined to the two and Georgia, or why Georgia, in the way Of cotton spinning, is so far behind the two Carolina. The prints a table showing the increase in since 1840, when North Carolina had now when South Carolina had now and when Georgia had now Analyzing the figures. The Picayune says they show that in 1840 Georgia had textile mills with 42.589 spindles; South Carolina mills with spindles and North Carolina mills, with spindles. In 1800, just before the outbreak of the war, Georgia had mills with spindles; Carolina mills with spindles and South Carolina mills with spindles In the twenty years between 1840 and 1860, in which the Southern textile industry made quite notable progress, the rate of increase in the number of mills in Georgia was greater than the rate either in North Carolina or South Carolina, and the number of Georgia spindles was more than bled, and in 1860 was greater by about than the aggregate in the other two states. In 1880 when the textile industry had begun to revive, the forty mills in Georgia had about. more spindles than the sixty-three mills in the two Car- In the next twenty years there was a decided change in the relative positions of the three states. With the Georgia mills increasing in from to the South Caro- mills increased from to and the North Carolina mills from to In number. There was a far greater increase proportionately in the number of spindles, bringing the aggregate total in North Carolina and South Carolina to while the increase in Georgia was only to The year 1910 found Georgia with mills, having spin- or an average of to the mill; South Carolina with mills and spindles, or an average of and North Carolina with mills and spindles or an average of spindles to the mill. It shows that much interest is being taken in the subject of Southern cot- ton spinning when the three leading Southern states in that industry make it a matter of discussion, but the might be asked with vastly more property, why it is that such other cotton as Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana and Texas have so few cot- ton spindles at work, they having only hundreds of thousands, where the three first states mentioned have mil- lions.

Mr. Russ retired last night his usual hour and was feeling well. Shortly before midnight he began coughing and a feeling of nausea came on him. He told his wife of this and got out of bed, re- his nausea. In doing t he coughed greatly and he took a seat in a chair. In a few minutes his condition became alarming and were summoned. But before they arrived Mr. Ruse had died, the physicians pronouncing his death due to dilatation of the heart. Mr. Russ was a man who had made many friends, for he was a genial man his good nature and being of his life. He was the center of any crowd in which he happened to be, and was among the most popular of men, having a large acquaintance throughout the state. For years be- fore he entered into politics he was a traveling salesman, having great success in this line and in life work. In 1804 Mr. Rues was elected mayor of Raleigh and proved a most efficient official.

Lino fan, per- haps, lay claim to a freight loss that has seldom if ever occurred to any railroad in the world, as happened recently between this city and Nor- folk, on the Norfolk division of the company. Among the twenty-five cars that made up a through freight train, there was an automobile car containing one automobile under seal from Jacksonville. Florida, to a point in Virginia. It was a matter of possibility to have entered the Car except by the sea and this had not been broken. When at a point near was reached the fireman looked back and he noted smoke coming from under the eves of the car, and the train was stopped and an investigation was made.

How true it is Though he may be neglectful and forgotten for weeks, when the bill collector comes around the husband is called to the front. Whatever minor position he may occupy at other times, just after the first of the mouth he becomes important. He must face the grocer, meet milliner and answer the missive of the dry goods man. Whether the suffragists will ad- it or rot, a husband is a very handy thing to have around the house.

Laura Jean is right. A woman has no better friend than a well-trained husband. And the women realize it. Whenever the supply of husbands runs short in community there is sadness and sorrow. Bachelors are all right in their way, but the only genuine is the man who marries. He lights the world's battles, keeps up its moves its furniture, looks after its children, and pays the bills.

No grass, no cooling springs from which to quench your no convenient from which to build a shelter from the broiling sun or protect from the night's cold. Some fence posts may be cut from the scrubby cedars on the dry side hill land and by the way, land is not level as might be supposed, but is rolling or broken by gulches, draws, etc., and is surrounded by high mountains. There is not enough to even germinate grain much less bring it to perfection. are some streams of water at various distances which are sup- ported by the melting of snow in the mountains and on these must the ranchers depend for moisture to and mature his crop. Such are the conditions to be overcome in what real estate men call the gems of the west But little assistance can be expected nature. A farm must be so a man or community of men must go to some vantage point on a usually distant stream, sometimes miles and with plow, pick and shovel build a ditch over the soil, rock, ravines and about everything in the catalog of to get a stream of water on his land for domestic use and water absorbs alkali from the soil and all filth it comes in contact with and is unfit for drink- purposes, though mostly used. This ditch must be frequently clean- ed and kept in order and is a source of constant expense to say nothing of having those above you appropriate the water while you are acting the part of a be- sides right of way and other constantly annoying. The delivered at your farm, only one phase of the problem is mastered, soil being of a hard nature requires the energy of three to five horses and strong, heavy implements to put in a tenable condition and must then be furrowed out for Irrigation after each cultivation and alfalfa sod must also be kept furrowed out, as nothing grows without you bring the water to it. heavy cropping and flowing of water through the soil soon ex- it and after two or three crops it must be seeded to alfalfa to re- store its fertility. Of course the alfalfa is a valuable hay crop also, but. one can not eat it, so it is profitable unless it can be exchanged for other commodities and so much is grown that the supply is getting in of of the demand, so this makes some other money crop therefore, the western farmer has his problems and as tough ones as any where. rancher gets large crops and sure when he has enough water, but remember his expenses are heavy, and sure also, he must pack his pro- thing an eastern farmer disdains to do. He has also to pay a eight charges on what he j purchases and ship less freight to competition.

HOMES. Davidson county is building a new county home. It has all the modern conveniences and will cost Cabarrus county is one of the most progressive counties in the State, but the buildings and equipment at her county home would be a reflection on one of the poorest and least pro- counties. The home is ed on some of the most valuable land in the county, much of it being worth an acre. It has been suggested that some of the land be sold and the proceeds put into modern sanitary buildings, and the suggestion is a good one. ye have with you and every county should be prepared to take care of them in a humanitarian They are getting the thing down fine in the search for smuggled goods by customs officers of the port of New York. The other day two ladies of the wealthiest family in Savannah were returning from a trip abroad, and before leaving the steamer were forced to submit to a most rigid ex- to see if they had diamonds hid about their person to smuggle them in. They were compelled to disrobe and even their stockings and hair were searched. The ladies very rightly declared it an outrage. Above is something hope the commissioners every citizen of We have not a copy of the law passed by the recent legislature modifying the stock law territory of Pitt county. It is reported that many people are much worried over it, but from what we can learn the change in the boundary line makes about twelve or fifteen miles of fence . . the same purpose of seventy- six miles heretofore. With the doing away of some sixty odd miles of fence and the heavy tax of keeping it up, it looks like the people ought i-o be satisfied. The last issue of the Farmville En- It is getting on towards corn planting time, and we believe the farmers of Pitt county are preparing to make a bigger crop than they have ever made before. This is what they ought to do, and put a stop to corn being shipped into the county. Then they should do the same thing about raising meat. Too much money has been going out of the county for corn, meat and hay, and when a sufficiency of these is made at home the county will prosper as never before. The man who is a real help to his town is held in much more regard than the mere hanger on who saps his living out of the efforts of others. There are people of the latter class in every community, who never show any disposition themselves to help advance any progressive movement, but are ready to grab anything they can from what others do. Such men are merely leaches on a community. That property along the A. C.

The Reflect- or had hoped some day to see a manufacturing plant on a site so available and convenient to the rail- road. But opportunities do not wait always, and Greenville too often for own good lets them go by. An investigation by the Florida railroad commission has brought out the fact that the Southern Express Company made a profit of per cent, in one year. The company has thirty stockholders, and the net in- come of each one of these was more than There is a system of robbing the public by the express companies that ought to be stopped.

The States of Ohio and Indiana are honeycombed with electric lines, and it is good news that work is to begin at once on the construction of such lines in North Carolina and South Carolina. Mr. J. B. Duke, the tobacco millionaire, who not only has plenty of money, but has big brains a master mind for big things, is the head of the new company that is to build these lines. Contracts have been made in South Carolina for lines between Greenville and and now the news comes that con- tracts have been let for the of a line between Charlotte and King's Mountain, a distance of thirty- four miles. The men who are behind this big movement are accustomed to do big things and now that they have undertaken the development of the waste power and its utilization in el- roads we may look forward to the time in the not far distant future when electric roads will be running all the way from Raleigh to Charlotte and then on to South Carolina towns and cities. electric roads are of great convenience and arc big de- of the country through which they run, and in the wake of these new lines will come large develop- that will do much to enrich the State.

The fear of having to pay a few more cents in the way of taxes is do- more to keep back the good roads movement in this state than any other one Sun. That is true, yet the people who look at it that way fail to take into consideration the heavy indirect tax that the bad roads lay on them con- the attention of the buyer, he will land many sales that the mail order house now gets. o- With the recent innovation in searching returning passengers by customs officers, foreign travel may become unpopular with the fair sex. If you could only measure some men's opinion of themselves, what dimensions there would be. From the Southern Tobacco we that Greenville and Youngsville, N. C, both sold the same number of pounds of tobacco during the month of pounds. This is unusual for two markets to tie on sales. In a hearing before the Federal court la Chattanooga, a government chemist declared that coca-cola con- caffeine, and that three glasses might produce death. Yet folks will go right on swilling it. The recent dispatch concerning the fire on the steamer of the Mallory line, running between Galveston and New York, recalls the fact that it was upon that steamer the National Editorial Association, when it met in Galveston in 1897, took an excursion around the harbor. Some of us frill remember that trip as long as we live. John D. Rockefeller has offered a donation of towards the erection of a Y. M. C. A. building at the A. and M.

If the home merchant is as to bring his wares to Some men boasts that they as they But the Charlotte street car system has put forth the edict that they must pay as they come. Passengers must put up the nickel as they enter the cars. The newspaper man who picks all the matter on his editorial page from other papers and and palms it off as his own, without credit, has missed his calling.

The Reflector stated a few days ago that it hoped arrangements could be made for an exchange of courts so that Judge Harry W. can preside over the court held In Pitt county's new court house. We are glad to say that this arrangement can be made. Judge J. S. Adams, who is assigned to the fall courts of this district, having consented, with the approval of Governor Kitchin, to an exchange with Judge for the first term In our new court house. The workmen on the court house expect it completed ready for use in time for the August term of court, but in case any interruptions vent this, one of the fall terms can be held in it. Another thing The Reflector wants to say in this connection, is that the day of that term in the new court house should be made a notable day for Pitt county. Let all the people of the county come to- then and celebrate the day by fittingly dedicating the new of justice. We refer this to Chair- man J. P. and the board of county commissioners, who, with the building commute, would naturally have charge of the matter, to take it under consideration and arrange for the county to have a big day when the court house is used for the first time. With the advent of woman suffrage will the rooster, long the emblem of a political victory, be succeeded by the cackling Sun. We imagine that the first page of a newspaper decorated with a bunch of hens the morning after election, would be a tame looking affair and hardly raise a cackle.

Of course, I grew up on the farm, but it was as the lilies grow, toiled not, neither did I Hut when I mar- a young farmer and went to housekeeping in a two-room on a one-horse farm, I then com- to sec the seamy side of it. all. Our house was on top of a high the water was to be carried from the spring up that hill. We had a stove just big enough for two and hardly that, no conveniences for bath whatever. We had chills and fever off and on during the whole seven years lived at that place; and I am sure it was on account of tho surface drainage going Into the spring. We spent enough for doc- tors and medicine to have dug a well and run the water indoors. We had no more chills after leaving there, but were some time regaining our impaired vitality. Then I had no sewing machine; so it was to spend days at a time at my mother's, sewing, or else hire my sewing. We spent enough in that way to have bought a machine twice over. Finally, in 1901, my husband bought a machine for am using it still and it is as good as ever. This is a fair specimen of the mis- taken economy of young farm folks. The little old stove by this time was used up to a finish. My husband bought, me a Majestic range with a 15-gallon reservoir, for heat- water. It was grand. I could sit six half-gallon jars of fruit on a wire bottom in the reservoir and boil them. The fruit canned in this man- was perfect, retaining its shape and natural juices. We never did have any convenience for washing and hired it out. Rut a neighbor had a washing machine and wringer that were perfection. She did her own wash, and that in an hour or two. She also had a low buggy and a gentle for her own use. I had to walk or await my husband's con- to go abroad. A man knows what he needs for his work, and gets it.

A few days ago the United States department of agriculture issued a bulletin that contains a warning to farmers against purchasing clover seed which has recently been ported Into this country from Chile. The seed was sent in three separate shipments aggregating pounds This seed has been found to be con- with two kinds of seed in such proportion that seeds would ordinarily be sown in each square rod planted with the Chilean clover seed. The dodder weed is said to be a native of Australia, and reached Chile in shipments of alfalfa seed. It is a small shrub of the laurel family, and has the reputation of being extremely destructive to alfalfa and clover. The distinction between the two varieties of the pest is not made clear in office of the bulletin, but it is safe assume that one is fully as vicious as the other. It is said the dodder winds itself about the steams of the clover and quickly de- its life. According to the bulletin, in the particular lots of Chilean clover seed regarding which the warning is en, the clover seeds themselves are of peculiarly fine appearance, and arc fully per cent, larger than or- clover seed. Such being the case, little difficulty should ex- in detecting the dodder. When the infected seed is discovered it should not only be rejected, but if the laws will permit it to be done, it should be confiscated and burned by the proper News. A Country With Only one Bank. There are no public banking in the Dominion Republic, and but one private bank with agencies in the more important of the towns which buys and sells drafts makes loans, and is the repository of the government funds. Buying and selling drafts is an important source of revenue to this bank and also to many private in- Money is easily placed at almost any time at 1-2 per cent a month, and sometimes at and 1-2 per cent, with first class real estate or personal security. Long time loans of large amounts are placed at per cent per annum. Municipalities, borrowing money for improvements and other purposes, pay per cent a month. There are very few depositors in the local bank.

We used a press from the same factory for years before installing this one, printing a daily paper with small circulation about years of that time. Its speed, an hour, is too slow for a daily paper with the present circulation of The tor, and for that reason we are having to displace it with a faster press.

In Colorado, within seventy miles of Denver there is a promising of twelve hundred inhabitants, says Charles Samuel in an In Success Magazine entitled Mad Race for In that village there are eight churches. about in the mountains are communities that have from thirty ninety pupils in the public school, and can muster one hundred and fifty adults at an all night dance. The population is scattered, the pupils go o school on burros and on horseback. For some reason these people have no church nor Sunday school. Bishop Anderson of the Episcopal diocese Chicago says that there are forty owns in Illinois, ranging from two to eight, hundred in any church. Yet the three examples given from could easily have been found in the State of Illinois. It rather looks as if some of the lean churches should be cut down out of the herd and led to pastures new.

When the value of tho com- peanut crop of the United States for 1503 was estimated at the wonder is expressed that this article of food is not more gen- cultivated, particularly in the South and southwest, where it can be grown with great profit. The demand for the peanut as an article of food is naturally growing. Ill this connection, the interest fact Is developed that this country is a large purchaser of peanut oil from abroad, while there are thousands of waste lands in the South capable of producing enough peanuts to keep the cotton seed oil mills running and furnish more than enough oil for home consumption. That the cultivation of the peanut is a profitable industry may be seen from the figures of the bulletin.

mm THE SOIL. What Constitutes What Does the Term Mean to You I What is soil fertility What does the term mean to What is your standard of measurement What are the conditions or factors which con- or constitute soil fertility It appears that, to some, the of the so-called plant foods, gen, potash and phosphoric acid, which are applied to or contained in the land, is the most important tor in measuring the fertility of pro- power of a soil. To others tho proper amount of humus, or de- organic matter In a soil, is tho measure of its fertility, or at least, is the first essential of soil fertility. Still others believe that till- age determines more largely than any other factor the productive ca- of soils. And still others, even certain scientists and investigators have claimed that soil fertility is most entirely a question a proper supply of moisture in the soil, pendent of its chemical composition, as this chemical composition effects its power to furnish a proper water supply. That all soils contain sufficient plant foods for the production of large crops, or that the supply of water is the sole measure of soil fertility, will be accepted by few; but if any one factor could be singled out as the most important in the fertility of any soil, it would certainly be tho one of a proper sup- ply of The lesson which must first be learned Is, that soil Is dependent upon many different factors, and that if we neglect any one of tho factors, or if we greatly exaggerate another, we shall most likely fall short of that grasp of the subject necessary to the best soil management. If we admit that good tillage, plant foods, organic decay and bacterial life and a properly lated supply of moisture are all es- to large crop production, or maximum soil fertility, it is not quite proper or accurate to state that any one of these is, in the true sense, the most important; but since all others of these are more or less dependent upon one, water, it may be placed first in consideration. Most soils contain much more plant foods than would be required to pro- duce scores of maximum crops; but these are useless for crop production until dissolved in the soil water. Or- matter decays through rial activities, which break down and render soluble plant foods in the soil; but one equally important function of decaying organic matter In the soils water supply, if, then, sufficient plant foods in the soil, decaying or- matter and a proper water sup- ply are the three most important tors in soil fertility, it is entirely proper to place the water supply as first In importance. Organic matter would be placed because its decay tends to render the plant foods already in the soil available to crops and to regulate the water supply in which the plant foods are dissolved and carried to the growing plants. These, then, are our To control the water supply by drain- the introduction of organic Wilier, and to furnish soluble plan roods by introducing organic which In its decay will sup- ply substances to dissolve the plant foods already in the soil, and by the addition of other supplies of plant foods in commercial fertilizers.

C, FRIDAY, MARCH 1911. Number The Great Value of Neighborhood Co-Operation J. Farmville, N. C, March-28, 1911. There is a small island off the coast of England which is famous and pros- beyond most islands, and this fame and prosperity is attributed to co-operation among its inhabitants in the raising of one specific breed of cattle. These cattle are widely dis- in the United States and fabulous prices have been obtained by the islanders for superior mens of the breed. By this they have produced a breed of cattle par excellence for butter. I of course refer to the island of Jersey. The people over in Virginia in the vicinity of a small place named Smithfield, have by working together produced a superior ham and now all that they have are sold in the mar- for from three to five cents per pound above any other ham. Troy, New York, owes its pros- to co-operation among its in manufacturing linen collars. If this little island has derived such great benefit from this spirit of co- operation only, cannot other com- do the same thing What has been done can be done provided the same or similar exist or may be caused ex- Whatever one can do himself well is best done by himself, but whatever the neighborhood can do best should be done by the neighbors co-operating together. I will suggest some things in which I think it profitable if those re- siding in the same vicinity should all do alike. First, there should be a gathering at the public school house and the majority should rule, due regard being shown to the dice of those who are the most con- Having decided that the Berkshire hogs are the best for said community, then every one should raise Berk- shire hogs who raises hogs. Soon some one would have some fine mens for sale and might a handsome profit. Whenever the neighborhood pro- more than it could consume, then one advertisement could answer for all, thereby saving quite a little sum, besides only the best specimens would be sold which would add pres- to the neighborhood. Then there would be competition, each one would strive to have nicer hogs and raise them cheaper. They would soon be more gent hog raisers. All having the same kind would create an just as planting prolific corn has enthused the boys. Then this rivalry would soon create a neighborhood spirit and each one would be proud of his neighborhood and strive to make it the very best neighborhood in the county. One man could take the stock to the fairs and all would share the bur- den and help reap the benefits. In the course of time the neighborhood would have a statewide reputation, and if the neighbors were sufficiently energetic eventually they would have a national We have been wasting our by being selfish. What I have written of hogs would apply equally to chickens, cattle and sheep and in a measure to coin and cotton. I am myself ready to enter into such an agreement and if my mediate neighbors don't just now see as f do, I will join any ton in the county and let all agree to raise some kind of corn and cotton and breed the same class of cattle and hogs. I would like to hear from others on this line. Cost of Production nil Important In Farming. European farmers work upon the principle of making the cost of pro- the essential thing. The America farmer generally speaking. has not looked to this matter, look- to an immense acreage to cover up any deficiency of production, based upon acreage basis. Limited acreage has naturally developed the European to practice an intensive farming through necessity, this work- to an advantage. Every cent had to count in this kind of limited cultivation, the dollar going into the cost of production had to be more than realized in the farm's returns, so that every foot cultivated is oped in the highest degree, for fail- meant disaster. All this has produced an extreme economical farm much in contrast to the American prodigality. Take the potato crop, with its average of bushels per acre in this country. The farmer raising bushels boasts of his skill But take the limited area in England the farmer there often raises bushels, while in Belgium 1,600 bushels are raised. The American farm waste has ways been large, because of the very bountifulness of our soils, and the cheapness of the land. The increase in land values is working a benefit, in breaking up the large farms, and the smaller farms are receiving attention and being cultivated with the money cost an essential factor. With intensive farming, which conies with the small farm, the agricultural products of this country will increase to a vast ex- tent in value, for there will be a great caving In the cost of production Journal.

Committees have been appointed to have charge of and encourage certain features of the work which has been assigned to each committee. These committees are earnestly urged to push the work so that we may make it a great year for corn raising in the county. It is important that the names of boys who will enter the contest be sent to W. H.

It is probable that when the committee meets to arrange the details and an- the prizes that it will be that a certain number of. boys in each township shall enter the con- test in that township, or the town- ship prise will not be offered.
