The announcement in The Reflector
a few days ago inquiring for Herbert
Owens, one of the prize winners in
the boy's corn contest last year,
brought him in today, and the State
diploma and cash premium were de-
livered to him. Herbert lives near

Earns Vent,
Dividend, Making Total of
Per Cent in Eight Years.
The annual meeting of the stock-
holders of the Consolidated
Tobacco Company was held today in
the Star warehouse, about two
farmers being present.
In calling the meeting to order
President L. Joyner spoke of work
of the company in the past, how it
had overcome the difficulties and op-
position encountered, and showed
where -it had made money for the
farmers of Eastern North Carolina.
He gave the status of the tobacco
farmers now as compared with the
last few the attitude of the
company In Urging reduction of ac-
and Control of production as a
of controlling prices, and
what the farmers should do in this
direction in future. He predicted
that if the farmers use wise
this season, they will get the
best prices for the next crop they
have ever received. As he always
does, Mr. Joyner gave the farmer
good advice, and the close attention
they gave all he said showed their
interest.
Secretary W. H. Jr., then made
his annual report. This in brief
shows that the property of the com-
located in Greenville, Roberson-
ville, Kinston and Wilson, is valued
at The stock issued Is
and the indebtedness Of the
company This the
property of the company worth near-
more than its entire out-
standing stock and indebtedness com-
which is a fine showing for
the corporation.
The earnings for the past year
were a fraction over per cent, and
of this directors ordered that a
dividend of per cent be paid to the
stockholders, the balance to be car-
to the surplus. This makes a
total of per cent the company
paid in dividends during the eight
years of its operation, an average of
more than per cent.
Taking into consideration that the
crop in Eastern North Carolina last
year was pounds short,
that the company was able to make
per cent is remarkable and shows
how well its business is managed.
An expression of opinion as to what
date the markets should open next
season was taken, and by almost
unanimous vote the tobacco boards
of trade of Eastern North Carolina
were requested to open the markets
on September

Number
Some Good Advice to Corn Contest Boys of Pitt
Farmville, N. C, April 1911.
Editor
It is a of pleasure to me
to be able to truthfully say that Pitt
county was ahead in the corn
contest last year, inasmuch as Pitt
had nine successful ones and no other
county above five. It is true that
several boys reported having made
more corn than our boys, but this
was due to the corn having been
planted upon land which had
ed previously an abundance of fer-
for other crops. Nine out of
forty is not a very large per cent.,
especially as we want eleven out of
a total of forty-four this year. If
you try and fail, do not be
aged, but profit by your failure and
try again.
There is one thing that I wish all
to know right now, and that is that
guano, as usually put up, will not
make a profitable crop of corn, no
matter how much you may use; and
also you must remember that poor
land without excessive quantities of
animal manure cannot produce as
much as sixty-five bushels of corn.
With these two facts well establish-
ed, lets see if we can, what is
for success in producing a
large crop of corn. After the land
has been well prepared and well
planted to a good variety of corn,
provided the seasons are normal, we
should be able to forecast with
accuracy how much corn we
may expect.
I learn it from good authority that
a crop of thirty-five bushels will re-
move from the land of
nitrogen, pounds of phosphoric
acid and pounds of potash. Now
if you have planted land that without
any fertilizer would produce thirty-
five bushels of corn, in order to make
thirty-five bushels more doesn't It
seem reasonable that we should
ply to the land in some form lbs.
of nitrogen, pounds phosphoric
acid and pounds of potash
A ton of first rate horse or cow
manure will contain approximately
pounds of nitrogen and will be as
valuable as pounds of nitrate of
soda. If you use stable manure to
furnish the nitrogen, you should
ply three and six-tenths tons. If
you prefer nitrate of soda you will
need pounds, or if you prefer cot-
ton seed meal it will take pounds.
If you have used two tons of stable
manure then you might use only
pounds of nitrate of soda.
Two hundred pounds of acid
and three hundred of
should supply the need, pounds of
phosphoric acid and pounds of
potash.
Now, boys, do not expect seventy
bushels of corn with any less
and do not be too sure of
the seventy bushels with even
that much.
In this contest not over ten dollars
of bought fertilizer should be used,
so continue every week to put on all
the hen house manure and all the
ashes raised upon the place. Stir
your land about two inches deep
week and keep all the weeds and
grass out, and I believe you will make
a fine crop of corn.
Of course if your land, unaided by
fertilizer, will make only fifteen bush-
els of corn, then the amount
by me should be doubled.
You see it takes nearly one pound
of nitrogen, one half pound of
acid and three-fourths pound
of potash to make a bushel of corn.
If I am correct 8-2-2 or 8-4-4 goods
are not properly balanced for corn,
but we should have 4-8-6.
Furthermore, I believe one hundred
bushels of shell marl applied to an
acre would supply sufficient
acid, and one might cut out
that much bought fertilizer.
My son has not planted his corn
yet, but he has put out about three
tons of manure and is mixing it and
grazing it with sheep, hogs and
calves.
JUDGE
The Grand A Large Docket
At This Term.
The April criminal term of Pitt
court convened in the city hall
this morning with Judge E. B. Fur-
presiding and Solicitor C. L.
representing the state.
The following were drawn as grand
Jurors for the J. F.
foreman; H. A. Gray, J. B. Carroll.
Q. T. Evans, W. Harvey Allen. W. A.
Pierce, W. W. Whitehurst, James H.
Cox, Frank Lilly, J. H. Laughing-
house, W. S. May, A. B. Congleton,
B. O. Turnage, J. O. Johnson, G. G.
Ward, J. E. Barnhill, C D. Smith, E.
P. Stokes.
In his charge to the grand jury
Judge Furgerson said the
assembling the court called all
persons having complaints to come
forward and they should be heard.
It matters not how humble a citizen
may be, he has a right to be heard
before the tribunal of justice. An in-
man has nothing to fear by
the assembling of a court, but the
guilty should have justice merited
to them. To let the guilty escape
may be merciful to them, but it is
not justice to the body politic. The
courts are for the protection of the
rights of the citizens. It matters not
how strong a man may be and able
to protect there is a time
in every twenty-four hours that he is
absolutely helpless. He cannot stand
around his property or his home to
protect It, therefore he needs pro-
of the law. The best
We have is good citizenship.
Every law has a penalty attached.
Without a penalty the law is worth-
less, and be that violates the law
must pay the penalty. It is so in
the laws of nature, it is so in the
laws of property. But for this there
would be no reward for industry. The
man who would be happy must con-
form to the rules of happiness.
To have good citizenship every man
should cheerfully obey the law, and
those who fail to do so should have
the penalty of the law enforced
against them. It is for that purpose
that we come together in courts of
justice.
There is no more important officer
in any county than the justice of the
peace or magistrate, and his duties
should be performed justly and
partially. To him the people of his
community come for a protection of
their rights and a redress of their
wrongs so far as the magistrate may
have jurisdiction. It is wrong for
a magistrate to take jurisdiction be-
his authority, but should send
such matters to the higher courts.
Judge Furgerson also made refer-
to the importance of officers
properly handling the public funds
coming into their hands.
As to the general list of crimes he
deemed it useless to go Into these,
as the attention of the grand jurors
has been often called to them, so he
laid down only a few general
pals for their guidance.
Generally speaking, Judge Fur-
charge was an excellent
on good citizenship and right
living, things that make for the up-
lift of the people in morality, home
government, education and happiness.
His words carried weight with them
and all who heard them were helped
by them. Two standards he laid
down as the best deterrent of crime
It's queer how much interest a
dignified man can generate in a dog
fight.

Prepare The Land Well Before
Planting.
Sometimes we become impatient
to get the seed in the ground and
fancy we can not afford to take the
time to more thoroughly prepare the
land, but this is a mistake. It is not
best to plant the crops too early, be-
fore the soil is warm, although as a
general rule, the earlier crops are
planted after the soil and weather
are fit, the better; but a crop plant-
ed on a well-prepared soil will soon
catch up with one planted much ear-
lier on a soil not properly prepared.
We can much better afford to be a
late in planting than to plant
the soil is in first class con-
When the plants come up
they are in the way of large
and cultivation is expensive;
therefore, as much cultivation as
possible should be done before the
plants come up and get in the way.
It is astonishing how much
of the crop can be saved by the
thorough preparation of the land be-

A Splendid Entertainment That Was

entertainments.
The Income Tax.
Steady progress is being made by
the income tax amendment A few
months ago the supporters of the
amendment feared it would not re-
the necessary approval of three
fourths of the legislature. Now they
are rather confident that
will approve. States that were at
one time unfriendly are showing an
inclination to favor the amendment.
Last year, for instance,
rejected it. Only this work the
legislature in that state has taken up
the subject again and the house of
representatives by a vote of to
has favored ratification. The
State senate has not yet acted, but
the information received here is that
it will probably join the house in
favoring the amendment. New York
today showed a like intention.
Arkansas has reconsidered its ac-
of last year, when the amend-
was rejected, and recently tIn-
state senate voted to ratify the amend
meat. The house had already taken
favorable action. Florida, which had
also been set down as against the
amendment, is coming into line for
it. house of representatives
week, by a vote of to favor-
ed ratification. The senate has not
el acted, but according to reports
from the legislature will follow the
action of the house. Thirty states
have now adopted joint resolutions
to ratify, as
Alabama, Indiana, Georgia, North
Dakota, Colorado, Washington,
Iowa, Oklahoma, California,
Michigan, South Carolina, Wisconsin,
Idaho. Arkansas, Maine, Maryland,
Kansas, Nevada, Ohio.
North Carolina, South Dakota, Mon-
Tennessee, Oregon, Texas,.
The votes of five more legislatures,
if they can be Obtained before Ari-
and New Mexico comes into the
Union, will complete the ratification.
If the ratification shall not have been
accomplished when Arizona and New
Mexico become states, six more votes
will be required. That these live or

I have been gathering information
as best I can on this reciprocity with
Canada. I have seen pictures of
Uncle Sam sitting right close up to
Miss Canada a just opening and pour-
out great love for her, telling
of the great future for her if she
will just wed him, etc. I'll not
follow this strain further, but
just say the boys up at Washington
had better be careful about passing

legislation brought forward and
fostered by a Republican president
I'm kind of suspicious of it. It may
prove to be a stuffed
full of pitfalls for the Democratic
party in the future. Mr.
idea of hitching to the reciprocity
bill, an amendment carrying con-
reduction of the tariff on
farm machinery, such as is largely
used in the great North West, is not
a bad one at all Then, too, it seems
to be the very way to get this tariff
reduction, the Democrats refusing
to vote for reciprocity if the
gents and Republicans refuse to
vote for this tariff reduction.

Canned Goods.
Kentucky is a blue-grass country.
This means principally the raising of
horses and other live-stock. North
Carolina is essentially a flower, fruit
and vegetable country. It transpires
that all these crops may, in our
modern times, be much in
value by processes of selection,
age, canning and preserving. It has
been frequently pointed out in this
paper that provisions ought to be
made for the proper selection and
storage of the apple crop. Such care
would materially extend the market
season, and would much enhance the
value of the crop. With proper
for keeping flowers cool, the
market for these could be very ma-
extended, but perhaps the
largest field of extending interest is
in canned fruit and vegetables. The
whole area of the state from the
mountains to the sea, in both soil
and climate, is adapted to the
of one or more kinds of
tables and fruits. With proper mod-
facilities for preparing these for
market, the crop could be enormously
increased in amount and in the
profits. The ordinary cook-
stove in the is a good can-
factory. For a few dollars
equipment put would ma-
extend the output and
prove the economy of putting up
fruits and vegetables. The capital
stock for a really large canning
is not largo, say It is
mostly a question of knowledge, skill
and energy yet values might
be brought out of the business if once
well developed throughout the state.

Of Hookworm Treated In

The rapidity with which a
knowledge of the cause, harm, cure
and prevention of hookworm disease
has spread among our people stands
without a parallel in the history of

or two ago there was found quite
commonly skepticism concerning the
of such a disease; but
all the doubters have now had
opportunities for seeing the worms,
the sufferers, their recoveries after
treatment, and are now actively lend-
their support to the
of the disease.
The quarterly report of Dr. Jno.
A. Ferrell. the State director of the
hookworm campaign for the three
months ending March shows that
up to date the physicians of the State
have reported treating cases
of hookworm disease, and that more
than COO of the active physicians of
the State arc treating the disease.
Moreover, it shows that the
of hygiene has examined since
the work began specimens of
for the eggs of the hookworm
which indicate the infection.

OUR NEW PRESS,
On another page of this issue The
Reflector gives a picture of the new
press it has just installed. The sub-
list of the paper has grown
to such proportions in the last year
that It was necessary to get a much
faster press than the one already in
use in order to print large
and catch the mails promptly.
In looking over the different presses
on the market we decided upon the
as best suited to our needs.
It is an ideal machine of which any
well equipped printing plant might
feel proud.
While to put in such a press as
this requires a big outlay of money,
we have made the investment with
the faith we have always had in the
people of Greenville and Pitt county
that they will stand by us. It is in
keeping with the policy of The Re-
to keep ahead of the demands
made upon it, and its desire to have
a plant second to none in Eastern
North Carolina in equipment. We
are constantly getting nearer to this
desire, and believe the people will
show their appreciation in increased
patronage. It is the ambition of the
paper to serve its patrons well, and
every improvement puts us in better
position to do this.
We do not believe any other paper
in the State especially in a town no
larger than Greenville, has made
more improvements to its plant in
the past year than has been made by
The Reflector, and these better fa-
have shown in a corresponding
improvement in the paper itself. We
now have a standard Linotype ma-
chine, a perfect newspaper and book
press, three job presses, a folding
machine and other equipment ample
to meet almost any demand made up-
on ran
large investments because of faith
in the people and the patronage they
have given us. The Reflector is their
paper, they have supported it now
for nearly thirty years, and we be-
they will continue to do so.
The more patronage they give the
paper in subscriptions, advertising
and job printing, the better position
it is in to work for the advancement
of the town, county and section. We
have endeavored faithfully to merit
all the patronage received and that
will continue to be our aim. You
can judge for yourself if The Re-
and its well equipped plant,
are worth anything to the community.
If you think such an enterprise is
helpful to your section, it is entitled
to your patronage.
Wilmington has long been the
stronghold of the liquor interest in
North Carolina. When saloons were
legal, that city had more bar-rooms
than any other place in the state.
In the prohibition campaign a few
years ago, Wilmington put up the
hardest fight against it, and that city
has been foremost in trying to thwart
the operations of the And since
by the prohibition vote bar-rooms all
over the state were closed,
has been the worst hot head of
blind tigers that the state had. In
the face of all this, it is gratifying
to note such a change of sentiment
has come about that in a recent city
primary the tickets of the liquor
forces were completely routed. This
will no doubt be followed by an
on the liquor question.
In his charge to the grand jury-
Monday, Judge Furgerson gave an
opinion on dealing in cotton futures
that should make people who enter
into contracts for fall delivery of
cotton careful how they go into court,
when the contract price is against
them, and plead the gambling act.
Judge Furgerson said that if two
men enter into agreement for cotton
at a certain price, one to pay the
other margins in accordance with
the variation of the price, it is
and indictable as such. There-
fore the man who goes into court
and pleads the gambling act on a
cotton contract puts himself in
for the grand jury to find a
bill against him and has already con-
himself by his confession.
The Reflector is spending much
money in the equipment of its plant
so as to be in better position to work
for the advancement of Greenville
and Pitt county. The people have
always stood by the paper in its
forts and the more patronage they
give us the more we can help to ad-
their interests. We want
every citizen to feel a pride in the
paper and its plant. All that it
amounts to is through your help.

SOME FIGURES BAD ROADS.
Showing What is Lost and
Could be
What
Lecturing in recently, M.
. Eldridge, of the United States
of agriculture, gave the
Tennesseans some surprising figures
is to the cost of bad roads. He
a macadam road one horse
can draw three times as much as on
is considered a good earthen
It is estimated an average
horse will exert a pressure
his collar all day long
to pounds. On the
basis he will draw on a good
clay road ton, gravel road 2-3
macadam 3-4, and brick
Thus one horse on a good
brick road may haul five times as
much as on a good clay road. It is
by the department that
total cost of hauling the crops
Tennessee during 1910 was,
based on the average cost
hauling on ordinary roads of
from to cents per ton per mile.
average cost of hauling in good
sections is from to cents
mile. Thus, if good roads had
j predominated might have
saved.
is further estimated that
Ito per cent of the roads in each
carry from to per cent
of; the traffic. Twenty per cent of
roads in Tennessee amounts to
miles. Of this number
I miles are already improved, leaving
miles yet to be worked on.
This number at per mile
would make an expenditure of
and give the entire state ex-
roads. Since it has been
shown in one year would
have been saved by good roads, a
cf five
would be sufficient to bring the mile-
age of improved roads up to per
I cent
increased value of farm lands
I due to improved roads is estimated
at from to per acre. It is es-
by the department that there
are acres of farm lands
in this state, and the estimated in-
creased value at per acre would
make
census returns show that
thirty-five counties in Tennessee de-
creased in population Nine-
i teen of these counties decreased
and nineteen other counties in-
creased It is interesting to
note that in the counties which
showed a decrease the percentage of
roads-, improved was 1.3 per cent
and in the counties which increased
the percentage of improved roads
was per cent. Twenty-seven
counties in the state have no
proved roads and thirty-five counties
have less than per cent improved
highways.
These figures should be studied.
The people should realize how mil-
lions of dollars are being lost every
year by bad roads.
The weak, timorous beings who
are frightened out of their wits at
the cost of good roads should quietly
study the figures given by Mr.
Eldridge. The statements made by
Mr. Eldridge are as applicable to
North Carolina as to Tennessee.

The Important Peanut.
For long centuries the symbol of
insignificance, the peanut is finally
coming into its own. Where once
it was sold only by
and eaten from bleachers, from lofts,
it is now the basis of large
interests and enters the market
in a variety of substantial food pro-
ducts. In commerce, as well as in
agriculture, its importance is rapidly
increasing.
This subject, which is of particular
interest to Georgia and other south-
states has recently attracted the
attention of the United States bureau
of plant industry. Mr. William A.
Taylor, who has distinguished, himself
in that department of the government
has prepared a special bulletin in
which he points out the varied values
of the peanut and the profits that
lie in its cultivation.
Among the values he notes are the
enrichment of the pea vines to the
soil where they grow, their numerous
by-products, used in making feeds
for farm and dairy and the
of peanut oil.
The recent invention of a machine
for harvesting peanuts has made it
possible to retain in the soil a. great
portion of the nitrogen they
thus increasing their value as
a fertilizer. This one element, of
which the plant is such a famous
treasury, has a fertilizing value rang-
from three to eight dollars an
acre.
When mixed with broken peas, the
hulls of the peanut make an
good feed for stock. Even
the waste products may thus be
utilized to advantage.
The popularity of peanut butter is
well known. It is in speaking of
the oil, however, that Mr. Taylor's
comment is most interesting. This
he classes commercially with olive
and cotton seed
The greater portion of the peanut
oil, he says, is now manufactured at
Marseilles, France, from peanuts that
are bought very cheaply along the
coast regions of Africa and trans-
ported by ships as return cargo. With
a coming shortage of cotton seed
from which to manufacture oil in this
country, there is a great possibility
of building up a peanut oil industry
throughout the cotton belt of the
southern states. There are thous-
ands of acres of land now lying idle
that will produce fairly good crops
of cotton seed and peanuts for the
of oil, it would be possible
to keep the existing oil mills of the
south running at a profit to both the
farmer and mill owners.
In these last remarks there is a
wealth of practical suggestion that
southern planters may well consider.
a virtual nonentity, the peanut
has become a product of real
to industry and agriculture.
The value of the crop in this country
last year reached far into the mil-
lions. Its cultivation is well worth

TREE TO MARK HANGING.
Germans Will Plant Oak in Memory
of Colonial Governor.
Near the statute of Nathan Hale, in
City Hall Park, there will be planted
next Sunday an oak tree that has
been from t, Germany, j
to commemorate the death of Jacob i
a German, who declared him-
self lieutenant governor of New Am-
under William and Mary,
and who was hanged as a traitor in
by Governor the Eng-
bearing orders to take con-
of colonial New York. The
exercises will be conducted by the
United German Societies of this city.
which have obtained permission from j
the city authorities to plant the tree.
Jacob has been lauded as a
martyr and condemned as a tyrant
by those who have made exhaustive
studies of colonial history. He came
to this country from Frankfort in
1660 as a soldier in the service of the
Dutch West India Company. He
early took a leading part in the dis-
of the time and was con-
in the rebellion against the
rule of Lieutenant Governor
He took a prominent part in
seizure of the government in the
name of William and Mary in 1689
and was appointed captain of the
fort here by the leading com-
of safety. This was followed
almost immediately by his appoint-
as commander-in-chief, and
within the year he declared himself
lieutenant governor.
He and his son-in-law, Jacob Mil-
were tried for high treason
and were found guilty by Governor
They were hanged on
May 1691, at what is now the in-
of Park Row and Frank-
fort York Herald.

Farmers Should More Gen
in it
A movement has been started
western North Carolina which should
become statewide. It has for its ob-
the promotion of poultry
particularly among farmers.
Special effort is being made to in-
young ladies on the farm in
poultry culture, and not with-
out success, if we may judge from
reports from various sections of the
mountains. From Asheville we hear
that many girls in that territory are
today making neat turns each month
from poultry culture, and there
pears to be an increasing Interest in
the subject.
This is a subject, or rather a
source of revenue, which his, for
some reason, know not what, re-
too little attention la North
Carolina. Other states have
ed the value of poultry raising and
are making millions of dollars annual-
from this source. Especially is
Georgia stirred up, and each of the
three big daily papers in Atlanta
have special departments, edited by
experts, which are highly successful.
The numerous big poultry shows
held throughout that state in the fall
have done much to accentuate inter-
est in the subject, and the constant
preachments by the daily papers have
had their influence. The result is that
the chick farm; is unusual
in the empire state, and on almost
every farm may be found a healthy
lot of fancy chicks.
Not alone is field open to the
farmer's daughter, but to city folks
as well. The fact has been demon-
time and again that ever. In
the crowded city, with proper care
and attention poultry may be raised
with profit.
The business is no longer looked
upon as a sort of pastime, but is now
recognized as a means of large profit.
During the winter months eggs run
up as high as cents the down,
and chickens bring double that
amount at times of the year. The
tendency is to raise fancy stock
the kind that will lay during the
winter months when eggs and chicks
are high.
The News would love to sec more
interest taken in the subject hi
county and in the city.
Mr. Drown, who edits the
poultry department of the Atlanta
Journal, offered an article yesterday
which should read carefully. In
a small California town over one
and one half million dollars are de-
rived annually from egg production.
Mr. Brown thinks that what was done
in California can be repeated in

Carolina has an equally good chance
with the western state. Read this and

possibly be in the poultry line,
