This Department is frequently res ferred to as the North Carolina Textile School, and has at various times previously been selected by the United States Government at which to conduct special cotton ex periments. The testa this year are extensive and will be of great val ue to the Cotton Manufacturing In dustry. This work is directly under the direction of W. S. Dean, who is a graduate of the Textile Depart ment, Class of 1909. With him are associated three experts of the Office of Markets, Another interesting fact is' that the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers has again awarded the Student's Medal to this Textile Departmentj, being the only Textile School in the South to receive same.

DO IT NOW _____ i Much information and many warnings are being sent out by the Insurance Department for the re duction of fire waste, the preven ; tion of loss of life and property by fire. It is clearly time that the people realize that at least two thirds of this Ions of life and prop erty is preventable with even ordi nary care. There are few who do not determine to aid in the nece? sary work and take the first step? being careful themselves. Then what is the trouble? Why do not results come more rapidly? Simply that carelessness comes with the old companion in sin?procrasti nation. Life and property should be saved?must be saved. Let each one who reHdB this on any other warning commence at once to be careful. Stop the things that are I likely to cause fires or accidents. Do It now.

N. W. Britton, County, Superintendent.? , 'Y- x\ ' GROW A SECOND CROP OF D POTATOES The fall or second crop of Irish potatoes is one of the means by which the production of one of the most important food crops may be increased. For a number of years, this second crop of Irish potatoes has been an unimportant item in the food supply of North Carolina but with emergency times at hanJ, Mr. W. N. Hutt, Horticulturist of the North Carolina Experiment Station, ufges upon the growers of the Eastern section of the State the importance of putting in an extra crop. . In Extension Circular No. 49 pre pared by Mr. R. G. Hill, Superin tendent of the Track Station at Willard, N. C., careful instruction in the growing of this crop is given. The problem of seed is one of the most serious questions confronting the average grower but it has been found that when seed from the ftrst crop are spread out on the floor in some sheltered place where they are exposed to a strong light but not to direct sunlight, and are turned at frequent intervals until they are greened or sprouted, they are then ready to plant. This method in sures against injury from rot caused by moisture and allows the cul ling out of stock showing signs of disease. In this case a good stand is secured. Tests have shown that -the best time to plant the second crop it from the middle of July to the middle of August. In a favorable? fall they might be set as late as September first, but there is always danger of late plantings being caught by frost before maturing. Additional information in regard to the second crop of potatoes and copies of the circular 49 may be had on application to B. W. Kilgore, Director, Agricultural Extension Service, Raleigh, N. C. ALSO CHILDREN Speaking of dogs also reminds of children. Nine states in the Union tax dogs in order to educate chil dren. They derive from this source annual revenues for their school funds ranging from (30,000 in Rhode Island to $210,000 in Mich igan. In South Carolina the dog license tax fund is around $65,000 a year, and in Virginia about $90,000. An effective dog tax law is state wide, but the revenues are retained within each county and applied to county common-school support. A law of this sort brings home to each man in the county the issue of Dogs versus Childr en, and gives the heft of the argument to those who set a higher value on children than on dogs. If a man is rich enough to keep dogs now-a-days, he is certainly rich enough to pay school taxes liberally. Besides the homes that have the most do(r* usually have the largest number of childreh to be educated, and the father* that pay the heav iest, dog taxes would reap the larg est benefit in schooling for their children, \ '/ TwAnhf.tvn mnntiM in Nnrth Carolina had dog license taxes in 19(6, and derived revenues ranfing from lees than $10 in New Hanover to more than 12.000 in Alamance, Forsyth, Halifax and Pitt. These counties would all do well to enforce the law more stringently and ^jirn the revenues into the connty school funds. After all* people love children better than they love dogs. > Since 1908 we have had about 1,600 patients in our Paatenr In stitute in Raleigh trying to save their Uvea from the bite of mad dogs. And mark yoa, these patients f are mostly women and children. All told, the expenses for traveland treatment cost the victims and their families some 926,000 year by year in North Carolina?to say nothing of the deaths and the agony of gof fering and suspense. We rote for Children versus Dogs. Not that we kwe dags lass, bat children mare?University News Letter. . ? . ? -- J
