West Raleigh, Feb. 23.?All the corn exported from North Carolina passes through the port of Nor folk, according to W. R. Camp, Chief of the Division of Markets ing. For the last ten years North Carolina has averaged about 140, 000 bushels per year through this port, most of the corn going to Germany. Only the variety known as Horse Tooth corn has been ex ported. This corn brings from five to ten cents a bushel over Western corn. South African corn is begin ning to enter into active competi tion, however. This corn will ger minate 98 percent., while our corn germinates only 81 to 88 per cent. Our corn is more prolific than the South African, so the corn from the two places stands oh equality. No corn has been exported this season on account of the war. T. W. Wood & Sons are report ed to buy about 1,000 buahels a year of North Carolina Horse Tooth corn for distribution as seed in the United States. Norfolk also handles fronf-10 to 11' thousand bushels of other corn _from North Carolina. So under normal con ditions this would make the total amount of sale of North Carolina corn from 136,000 to 166,000 bus hels a year through Norfolk alone,. At the same time a great deal of corn is shipped from Norfolk and Richmond into North Carolina. This should not be so if we bad a proper system of distribution. Chowan Club. The Chowan Club of Oomo was organized October 26t)i., 1914 with 14 members, but now the number has increased to 23. We have met once each month, and these meetings are always enjoyed for we strive to make the programs interesting as well as beneficial. At a recital gfvCn under the auspices of the club on November 30. 1914, the sum of 46 dollars was realized?which amount was left in the bands of the committee of the Alumnae Association, to be used as they see fit. Our last meeting was held at the hospitable home of Mrs. K. A. Magette, February 15th., 1915. The meeting was galled to order by the president and then a very interesting article was read by Miss Jessie Barrett. After this the minutes of last meeting were read and the roll was called by secretary?each member respond ing t<^ her name with an' interest ing item of news. After the business session, we were given a very intructive con test of Familiar Authors, Miss Eddie Maie Vann receiving the prize. Themembers enjoyed immensely tne social feature offered by their charming hostess. The club was invited to meet at the home of Mrs. J. H. Barnes, Out Penan ol (lie Work Worth Over $900,000.00 Per lar. Soaaa Gxccllwt Krsulia Show* By a Summary of a Preliminary Aaaual Report By State Agent C. R. I lad eon. The Farmer*1 Co-operative De monstration Work carried on by our A. and M. . College and our State Department of Agriculture, co-operating with the United State* Department of Agriculture, i? sow in operation in 69 counties .of the State, with a County Agent in (barge of the work in each county. During the present year these men had enrolled as demon strstors and directly under their supervision, 5,859 farmers. These farmers were growing for their own benefit and as demonstrations in their respective communities the following crops, where the best known methods io agriculture were applied: 11,086 acres ofcorn, 3.068 acres of cotton, and 55,487 acres of otber crops, or a total of 69,651 acres. This is an average of over 1,000 acres per county in Demostration territory. During the present year these agents have made 38,607 personal visitis to individual farmers. They have talked to 104,884 farmers in meetings attended. They have probaty advised and helped as many more of which we have no record. Each demonstration plat influences from five to one hundred farmers. Farmers often drive from eight to ten miles to study these plats. Aside from this, there were enrolled about 10,000 other farmers, some of whom were Visited, and all of whom received agricultural -bulletins, pamphlets, etc, In this work there is not much stress put upon the method of giving instructions or advice by correspondence, still serverai let ter* have been written in reply to requests for information by farm ers. By all of these methods com ytqed, there has probably been reached 500,000 farmers, most of thqm in a practical way. Aside from this, tbe growing of the ordinary summer crops, another valuable feature of the work, has been the growing and planting of 50.737 acres of winter growing crops. A conservative estimate of these is that ^hey are wortfi at least $10.00 per acre, or a total value of over |5?i0,000.00. These crops consist of 32,510 acres of clover; 4,240 acres of grasses, and 12,987 acres of other crops, consisting of rye, vetch, rape, small grain, etc. During tbe season County Agents have started definite sys terns of rotation of crops with 1,081 farmers. These will furnish yalbable object lessons in their re spective communities, and will furnish much valuable information to Demonstration Agents to be distributed through their counties Teachers' Associotin. ? i ?????* Notwithstanding the bad roads and disagreesble weather wo bad a good meeting the 5th., of February 4 Winton. some of the teachers biimtOg from the farthest points of the county. This speaks weil for their interest in the work in which they are engaged. Among other important exer cises at that meeting a primary class was at the school building and ? lesson in phonics was taught b&tife teacher of that class, so that every one present might see the actual work of teaching a primary class. We meet on Friday the 5th., of March at Aboskie at 10:80 o'clock. In order to have as much observa tion \%>rk as possible, Prof. Wil Ifmis hasrbeen requested to have bge entire Ahoskie school in ses sion until 18 o'clock on the day of our meeting. Every teacher will be expected to visit one or more of tto different departments to gain add to impart as much information as possible. After this we will have other exercises and transact such business as'may come before the association.
