Wbat Does Trustee Mean?
The Legislature is a body to make
laws for the people; not to
make laws to suit people but laws
to help the people and lead them in
the right way, that in the end they
may be blessed and benefitted.
The trustees are a body of people
selected by the public in whose
judgement and integrity they place
the welfare of their children.
A trustee is like a guardian. A
teacher might be called ^foster
mother, and both shouM be inter
ested in the student In every way,
physically, mentally, and spiritually
This means that they should stand
for what is right; to possess a
itrong and mighty backbone that
will not bend or break; to consider
no standard to high; to erace all
tendency toward evil; to consider
no method too good for little human
?ores wherever they be; to not be
governed by the whims of patrons
?r the whines of children, but to
hold fast to what is right and best.
Will you give your children fire
just because they say it is pretty,
when in the end it will mean des
truction? To be educated means
preparation for usefulness; it is a
weapon for lifes warefare.
Look at the frivolity of the na
:ion, then do you wonder why there
3 war? Was it not sent to school
as and educate our hearts. The
;ime has come when parents obey
:heir children and others are expect
M do likewise.
Trustees move' in a classical '
way.
A school teacher.

ing, June 22, are well attended.
Rev. Fred N. Day, who is well
known in this section, is a most
earnest preacher. The congrega
tions are enjoying the ringing, led
by Mr. H. B. Eason, for he knows
just how to manage a choir. The
people who attend the services will
be benefitted by the preaching and
singing. Quite a crowd came over
from the nearby towns Sunday
night. All who come are assure^.a
welcome from the members of
Chowan Church. The services Will

return home came all too soon but
the girls came home with happy
hearts, knowing that they had giv

from home and doubtless will soon
be farther away from loved ones, a
most pleasant evening. It is report
ed that the boys will leave Tunis
Tuesday for, they know not where,
perhaps to France.

WHEAT I GROWING III
EASTERN CAROLINA
West Raleigh, N. C., June 26?
Recently there have come a number
of inquiries to the North Carolina
Experiment Station from different
parts of the Coastal Plain section of
the State asking as to the advisabil
ity of sowing wheat in this portion
of the State during the coming fall.
I Ordinarily, with the price of wheat
ranging around normal, it is not '
thought advisable to grow wheat on
these sandy soils, is the advice given
by Mr, C. B. Williams, Cheif of the
Division of Agronomy.
Wheat does not do as well in this '
portion of the State aq it does on the
more compact soils of the Piedmont
and Mountain sections.
Where one is to grow wheat in
the eastern portion of the State, it
is of the highest importance that it
be sown on the fine grained and
more compact loams and clay loam
soils. One could not expect satis
factory results on coarse sand, or
bla<;k lands made up largely of hum
us material.
In sowing wheat in this portion
of the State, or in any other portion,
it will usually be the part of wisdom
to wait untill after a frost has oc
cured. If sown before frost there
will be danger of attack from the
Hessian flv. which is one of the very
worst enemies of the wheat crop.
The land should be prepared in
advance, so that it will W some
what comDact below without beinir ?
har^tr\Then just before sowing, y
have thVtt^per three inches put in n
lined condition. Where practical to
do so, the seed should be put in t
with the drill using bout one bushel v
of seed per acre. c
For ordinary land, it is suggested t
that at least 200 to 300 potinds of j
fertilizer be used per acre. a
Good varieties to use of the g
smooth headed type are Purple e
Straw, Leap's Prolific, and Fultz; e
and of the bearded type, Fulcas- f
ter. _ o
Even with the high'price of wheat f>
at the present time and the prospect c
af high prices during the coming n
^ear, it does not seem advisable to a
to extend this crop to areas or types a
if soil not especially adapted to its
rrowth. t;

NOTICE TO
1CJOM
Dr. F. D. Owen, of Elizabeth
City, Correct* Erroneous
Statements Regarding Hot
Vaccination.
Due to the fact that some parties
wish to sell the farmers of the east
ern section of North Carolina treat
ments which wiil accomplish only
temporary releif from the attacks
if hog cholera, they have at
tempted to create distrust of the
methods advocated by Dr. F. D.
J wen, who has in charge the work
>f eradicating hog cholera in this
lection. Dr. Owen wishes to warn
ill hog growers against being mis
ed by false or unfounded reports,
ind has issued the following state
ment in regard to the matter:
"It has been brought to my atten
tion that someone has been advising
he hog growers in the northeastern
counties of North Carolina that the
10 called simultaneous treatment
serum and virus) for hog cholera,
hrough which hogs acquire lasting
mmunity against the disease, will
itunt or retard the growth of the
fTiimals, and that such treatment
rill also set up, in many instances,
ases of chronic cholera.
"In my connection with the inves
igation and control of hog cholera
ince the inauguration of the work
iy the United States Bureau of Ani
nal Industry, part of my. duties
iave been to'treat and supervise
he treatment of thousands of hogs
rith the serum and virus. In all
ases of treatment, careful observa
ion of the herds is kept in order to
etermine the results on infected
nd noninfected farms. In no in
tance has a single case been report
d or observed where the simultan
ous inoculation had in any way af
ected the growth and development
f the pigs >7 or shoats so treated.
Jeither have I any knowlege of
holera being caused by this treat
ment when done according to in
tructions of the State and Federal
uthorities.
'"In order to be absolutely sure
hat available evidence does not
warrant such advice to farmers, I
ook the matter up with the Bureau
f Animal Industry at Washington
nci the office of the State Veterina
ian at Raleigh. In answer to these
.quiries I received letters reading
ractically as follows, which are
ublished for the benefit of those
rho have received ill-advised in
duction concerning the serum and
irus method of treating hogs;

Sir:?Receipt is acknowledged of
our letter of May 26, stating that
ou have been informed that parties
1 North Carolina' teach that the
erum and virus treatment > for
og cholera often produce* the dis
ast' in chronic form, and is, there
ore, more dangerous than beneficial;
Iso that farmers are being advised
hat the serum simultaneous inocu
ition is liable to stunt or retard the
:rowth of the animals.
These reports should not be taken
eriously, because statements such
s attributed to the parties in ques
ion ars|not based upon facts, and us
lally are not made by these with
iractical experience and full know!
dge of the subject.
It is a well known fact that suc
essful swine breeders in the princi
tal hograising districts of the West
iave abandonod the use of the serum
lone method and will consider only
he simultaneous inoculation in the
reatment of their herds.
The Bureau has treated and aup>
rvised the inoculation of nearly
lalf a million of hogs under various
ield conditions with very satisfac
ory results, and in no instance
iave complaints been made of the
erum-simultaneous inoculation hav
ng interfered in any with the
rrowth of.the pigs so treated.

THE PATRIOTISM OF
THE AMERICAN PRESS
The service rendered to the gov
ernment of the United States in the
sale of the Liberty Loan Bond* of
1917 by the press of the country ia
record evidence of the generous pa
triotism of the newspaper men of
America. It is recorded in the pa
ges of thousands of American news
papers, many of them printed in
foreign languages, from the largest
daily to the smallest country week*
ly. The newspapers of the country
"came across" with liberal dona
tions of space in news, editorial,
and advertising columns.
Newspaper men have observed
with deep and peculiar pleasure the
whole-hearted activity of men of
their fraternity in the country in
promoting the sale of the Liberty
Lorfn Bonds. The influence and As
sistance of all publications in mak
ing the loan a success are simply
incalculable. Their efforts greatly
contributed to making it a double
success in that it was not only large- ?
ly over-subscribed but the Liberty
Loan Bonds were placed in every
community in the United States, in
cities and in i emote country dis
tricts, in mining towns and manu
facturing centers, among farmers
and country merchants as well as
city bankers and Urge commercial
and manufacturing houses. ?
It was a great educational cam
paign. Readers of their county
paper in their country homea, and
new American citizens from papers
printed in their old language, who
in the evening spelled out the news
in the great daily papers, were in
formed of the purposes and objects
of the Liberty Loan and instructed
in the nature, value, and terms of
Government Bonds, especially the
Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917. The
whole Nation has made a long stride
forward in financial education
through the Liberty Loan campaign
of 1917 as conducted through the
press of the country
The country press which without
compensation gave liberally of'its
limited space is equally deserving of
praise with the larger papers. In
their respective spheres all classes of
publications in the country covered
their field thoroughly and well.
The press of America can look back
on the work it performed for the
Liberty Loan as a great public ser
vice, ably, thoroughly, and unself
ishly performed.

Secretary of the Treasury.

May 28. 1917,
Dr. F. D. Owen,
Elizabeth City, N. C.
Dear Sir:?I am in receipt of
your letter of May 26. After read
ing it carefully, 1 with to state that
I do not beleive that serum and vir
us, if properly administered, would
have any harmfuf effect whatsoever
on the animals it is administed to.
I think that Eastern North Car
olina will make very little progress
if they rely solely on the use of the
anti-hog cholera serum and elimin
ate the virus or simultaneous treat
ment. Nor do I beleive that the
use of the serum or the serum and
virus, stunts or retards the growth
of the hogs.
We could point out some very
nice herds of hogs which have been
treated with the serum and vims,
and tn this connection I will refer
to the herd of swine at Pinehurst.
I am sure the U. S. Department
of Agriculture does not advocate
nor endorse the position taken by
the parties in question.
Very truly yours,
