A meeting will be held at State College in connection with the Farmers' Convention to organize a State Seed-Breeders' Associa tion, the object of which will be to cultivate an interest in the im provement and trowth of good seed. The organization will con sist of all farmers in the State who are selecting good seed eacli year from approved strains of field corps. The meeting will lie addressed by Dr. H. J. Webber, formerly plant breeder for the United States Department of Agricul ture and later in charge of-the plant breeding department at Cornell University. All farmers who are interested in good seed are urged to coine to tins conven tion prepared to join this associa tion. In recent years seeds have been offered to the public that did not have careful selection behind them and such practices have made it difficult for the purcber to be sure of securing good seed. In many cases undesireable seed have been offered for sale with the most extravagant claims. It will be the object of ihe association to protect farmers as much as may prove practical from getting the wrong seed. Tar Heels Report on Incomes.

Di*. Pratt, who is organ izing with notable success a great exhibit showing the diversity and value of the natural resources of the State, plans to make possible a. broad study of the State's min eral resources by exposition visi tors. The production in mineral wealth for 1920 shows a tremend ous increase over 1900, when the j total value of such products was only 81,004,078. The figures ex-j ceeded the $2,000,000 mark for) the first time iu 1902 by just $3,-1 000, but dropped back iu 1003 and 1904 to $1,900,000.

A slight increase was | shown iu 1907, but the following j year a reduction of about $850,-! 000 was shown, aud the tota's fluctuated around the 12,860,000 total durinn the next five years, I the tola! of 1912 falling to $2.514,-1 000.

The total of $4,746,000 for 1910; represented an increase of sl,- 200,000; the tot 11 for 1017 was $5,411,000; 1918, $5,192,000; 1919, $15,457,000. With some figures yet lacking, the 1920 total stands at *8,051,0 0, and l)r. Pratt ex-. peels the final total to be about| $8,250,000. The figures given represent the production of granite, sandstone, | marble aud other forms of limi - stone; brick, tile, pottery, pot-j tery clay aud kaolin; sheet and I scrap mica; sand and gravel; gold, silver, copper, lead-zinc, iron, j manganese, feldspar, talc, soap- 1 stone, mineral waters, cor born n dum, emery, mill-stones, chroinite, barytes, quartz, graphite, coal, peat, tin ore, monazite, ziroon;' rare earth minerals, including samarskite, urauite and colum bite; precious stones, including amethysts, garnets, rubies, sap- 1 phi res, (aquamarine, beryls, emerald oeryls, emerald matrix, rhodolite, smoky quartz, rutilated moonstones. Does it Pay to Raise Runts - Query Put to Many Farmers. A questimaire survey conduct- j ed among 1,000 leading farmers aud breeders by the United States Department of Agriculture in dicates that the annual production of farm live stock in the United States consists of runts ami undersized j specimens of the various breeds and classed. Farmers report that their annual incomes fiom live stock would be increased an j average of 13 per cent if runts; could be eliminated. Uetter methods of feeding ami breeding belter stock, the use of purebred registered sires, good care and sys'.emat c attention; better hous- j ing aud sanitation, proper care of the dam before the birth of young, practical control of such objectionable parasites as worms and lice, the control of disease, J and the culling from the farm ufA all stunted slock which indicates no possibilities of successful ref- 1 urination and rehabilitation are the control methods recomuiened by these exi»erienced farmers About three-quarters of them say that it does not pay to raise runts, while the balance main tain that the Tom Thumb* of the live-stock world can be rnis ed successfully only wheu well bred aud when plenty of cheap feed is available and dependable markets are readily accessible. Campaign is Founded on Business and Common Sense Combined With Systematic Co-operation and Judgment Will Be Power j / Ten reasons why persons living in Graham's trade district should buy in Graham: I * First. "The buy in Graham movement" is founded on a logical j business basis, being reasoned out by the laws of common sense and I business science. Secoiwt. "Iu union there is strength" aud combined with sys tematic co-operatioa aud the display of'good judgment becomes a (titanic power for good. Third. "The buy in Graham movement" in other words I "patronize home industry." That is the community of interest spirit | which forms the basic principle of "the buy iu Graham movement," | has for its object the betterment of all the people, the allied indus tries and business interests, which brings together the/vhole people | under two general classes, viz: The producer aud the consumer. Fonrth. The producer and consumers are brought closer to gether and in closer touch with this movement, which has for its jaim the general bettorment of the combined interests of the whole i people. Fifth. "The buy in Graham movement," if carried out iu spirit, jgiv js us a community of broad-minded people, which means better 'governmeut, better and more improved industries of ever} kind. Sixth. When you can secure the concerted Efforts of the whole j people of a certain trade district, along lines looking to their mutual ; welfare and protection, you can accomplish wonderful results along] I progressive lines. Seventh. "The buy in Graham movement" implies the better ment ot the home, which is most HIU ' commendable, am when studied and considered from every viewpoint, uiust appeal to every true man who loves his home. i Eighth. The combined efforts of the citizens of tire trade dis-1 trict, by boosting "the buy in Graham movement," will secure I lie | most beneficial social and financial results. Ninth. Hence it behooves each and every one of us to enter into the movement with the spirit aud understanding, and the success of "the buy in Graham movement" is assured. Tenth. Then a great combined movement by great people will secure a phenomenal boost for Graham. COUNTY AGENT Gives Out Interesting Farm News We will waf.h with a great deal of interest the contest of different communities' for the community exhibit prize at the Me bane Fair. Be their and pull for your community. There appears a great deal of interest in the establishment of cream routes in the county. If the pastures will only improve so tlmt the cows will give milk, we can secure enough cream to start two or more routes. Be sure to attend the sale of piuebred livestock at the Mo bane Fair on September the 9th. YV« have received uotice that the government is offering picric acid to the farmers at the cost of transportation. This is valuable for blasting purposes, for digging ditches or perhaps subsoiliog place# that have hard pans. This is salvaged war material from the war department. Enquire for futher information. Eight liine demonstrations will be started this fall. W. KEKK SCOTT Co. Agent. Give a menu man a little au thority and nis meanness will rise to the surface like scum on a frog-pond.

Our answer is tii.it wo have no desire to live our lives over again. We doubt whether any of us would make a better job even given a second chance. Some of us inigiit make worse fowls of our : selves than ever. Did you ever no tice how seldom divorced couples improve themselves when they marry the second time?
