~ III MEMORIAM
On Saturday afternoon June 9th,
1917, the death Angel visited the
home of Mr. and Mm. Paul Brett
and took the oUeit daughter,
Madeline, aged 15 Tears.
In May she was (taken with rheu
matism from which she never recov
ered, and on Tuesday night, June
the 5th it effected her heart and
from then on till Saturday she grew
worse, when her Heavenly Father
said, "It is enough; come up high
er,''* and the passing awav was as
serene and beautiful as the run-set
of a summer day.
She was a faithful member of the
M. E. Church and Sunday School,
where she was always present unless
sickness prevented.
At times her sufferings were al
most unbearable but she never mur
mered; and spoke frequently of dy
ing, that' the time with her loved
ones was short, but she didnot
mind it at all, and for them not to
grieve over her, that they had done
all for her they could, and her home
life was all she could ask it
to be, but she was going to
a' far more beautiful home
above the skies to be with her
own dear mother who preceeded
her to the .Glory land several years
ago, and asked them not to grieve
after her, therefore why should
they grieve but look up through
their tears and thank God for every
heartache that brings them nearer
to Hisside, and after such suffer
ing they should gladly welcome
Madeline'* spirit back to the God
jfho gave it, for around the great
white throne she is singing praises
forevermore. When we realize
that their going is precious to our
Lord, then we know why it is that
heaven is so fast filling up with the
choice ones of earth, stall it is so
hard for us to understand why one
so young should be taken from our
midst, still we know she is waiting
for us in Heaven and sometime we'll
understand. And while her death
is a great shock to parents, brothers
and sisters, as well as loved ones,
they must put their trust in God,
and remember that she is now
wearing the promised crown of life
in the hosts of the redeemed.
Lingering at death's gate for sev
eral , days she never lost interest in
persons, nor things around her, in
deed she was the very soul of appre
ciation, making every one feel
doubly paid for every kindness
shown her. The vacancy in the
home can not be filled, she can not
come to us, but may we live such
lives that we may meet in that
great beyond where there are no
farewells ever uttered.
She will be greatly missed by her
devoted father, and her loving step
mother, who stood so faithfully by
her and administered to every wish
during her long hours of suffering,
alao by her brother* and sisters, but
nowhere will she be missed more
than in the Surday School. She lov
ed the Sunday School, its officers,
teachers and members, and always
radiated sunshine and good cheer as
she came in and went out amongst
us. We are deeply sensible of the
great loss our school has sustained
in the passing away of this dear
girl and desire to record our appre
ciation of the years of constant ser
vice she so gladly and unselfishly
rendered and express the profound
sorrow felt bv all that we shall see
her no more as we gather from
Sunday to Sunday to engage in the
work she always loved so much.
But may her memory be a bless
ing and her pure sweet life and In
spiration to us who remain..
On Sunday afternoon, despite the
inclement weather, her body was
laid to rest in the family cemetery
among ? large concourse of sorrow
ing relatives and friends. The fun
eral services being conducted by
her pastor, Rev. L. M. Chaffin, in a
very impressive manner.
"Safely, safely gathered in.
Free from sorrow, free from sin,
God has saved from weary strife,
i In it'a da?m this fair young life,
Now she waits for us above,
Resting- Irt the Saviors love;
Jesus grant that we may meet
: There adoring at thy feet."

SHEEP FARMING TO
BE JKMAGED
Sheep Raining is North Carolina a !
Seeminflf Latfiaf Industry, Ac
cording to Stat* Authoritiea.
?
Seemingly a lagging industry in
the State of North Carolina, the ]
production of sheep ia going to be I
pushed by the Animal Induatry Div- ;
ision of the North Carolina Ezperi- I
ment Station. For many years, Mr. <
R. S. Curtis haa been interested in '
and has urged the production of i
sheep in the State but hws seen the i
induatry gradually decline on ac- <
count of lack ef proper attention, 1
the gradual encroachment of culti- I
vated fields and the growing men- {
ance of dogs; now, however, an ap- J
propriation has been given this work
by the State Department of Agri- i
culture and the United States De- I
partment of Agiiculure and Mr. l
George Evans former Superintend- 1
ant of the Animal Induatry farm at
West Raleigh haa been selected to |
carry on the work. t
Mr. Evans is a native of England, 1
coming from the center of the sheep 1
producing section of that Country, i
He haa worked with sheep all of his i
life, coming to this country, over c
ten years ago with a large importa- c
tion of sheep for Mr. Henry War- r
dell of New York State. After re- s
main ins: with Mr. Warded for three
years, he took up work in Virginia f
and showed sheep at the North c
Carolina State fair in 1911 where o
his ability in handling them was dis- a
covered by the officials in charge of \
the Animal Industry division. The s
Following Spring, he was employed t
by tnis division to take charge of g
the livestock feeding work and was t
then later promoted to entire charge c
if the Animal Industry Farm. Now t
He takes the recently created poei- r
tion of field man in sheep work, t
rhis promotion comes in recognition ?
it his ability in handling all phases c
if livestock work and mt>re especial
Lhat of sheep. t
All kinds of sheep work will be r
conducted. The farmers of the a
State will be reached through the c
bounty Agents of the Agricultural o
Gxtention Service. Experimental f
work will be done as heretofore on e
hree of the Branch Stations and 1
n addition an exhaustive study will g
x made in the mountains on a 1350 n
icre farm which has an ideal loca
tion for a sheep experimental work, t
Mr. Evans, as Sheep Field Man, r
will devote his whole time to the p
various phases of sheep work. The a
most important of these will be the u
?election of pure bred rams for t
farmers, pure bred and grade ewes
For breeding purpose*, instuctions .
jn the care, feeding, handling, man

protection of e'neep from dogs and

Soybean* and Cowpcai Do Not

Roota and Stubble Are Left.
West Raleigh, N. C., June 19.?
It ia a general opinion among a
number of people that when cow
peas and soybeans are grown |for
iay. the atabble and roota of these
:rops enrich the land in nitrogen,
rhis ia an erroneoua auppoeition,
lays Prof. M. E. Sherwin; especially
f the crops are grown on rich land
>r on land to which nitrogen has
>een applied, as, under such condi
ions, nearly the whole of th? nitro
ren is taken from the soil and but
ittle from the air.
Furthermore, if the plants are
rat in some way inoculated with the
litrogen-gathering bacteria, no nit
-ogen will be t^cen from the air,
>ut it all must come from the soil.
Tests made in Illinois with cow*
>eas on land it which nitrogen was
he limiting factor, showing that
f3 per cent of the nitrogen was
aken from the air; the remaining
!7 per cent was taken from the
oil. Soybeans grown in Wisconsin
in rich soil secured only 14 per cent
if their nitrogen from the air, the
emaining 86 per cent from the
oil.
Statistics from the Delaware Ex
leriment Station show that the roots
>f cowpeas contain only 6 per cent
>f the\ total nitrogen of the plant
ind soybeans 6.5 per eent. The
Visconsin and Michigan stations
how that the roots of soybeans con
ain 4 per cent of the total nitro
ren. Hopkins says, fas * rule,
he roots and stubble of these crops
ontain less than 10 per cent of the
otal nitrogen. Thus 90 per cent or
nore is removed in the hayn#nd for
he soil to be enriched in nitrogen
nore than 90 per cent of this ele
nent most be taken from the air.
None of the above mentioned
ests show that thia portion of nit
ogen has been secured from the
ir, even under the moat favorable
onditions. On the contrary, more
f thia element haa been removed
rom the toil than the total contain
d by the the root* and stubble,
'his leads to the conclusion that
jowinjc these cropa for hay does
lot enrich the land in nitrogen.
Other legume cropa, which occupy
he land longer and develop larger
oot systems, leave a greater pro
portion of their nitrogen in the roots
nd may"enrich the soil in nitrogen
ip to a certain point, even though
he hay crop is removed.
-'each Growing in This State
The growing interest in peach
>roduction in North Carolina and
he resulting demands on the staff
if the Agricultural Experiment
Station for information in regaad to
his matter has caused the Depart
nent of Agriculture to issue "Peach

The bulletin is extremely timely
