Woman, in the unformulated ideal of the soldier, represents the things for which he fights* the things he owns, the things for which lie hopes. Woman, as the symbor of the home, represents the individual property which governments are organized to conserve. The rea sou the romauce of the soldier continues is that his personal selfishness is glorified as a part of a great ideal of individual sacri fice for common freedom. Which is to say that the best safeguard of property and the hope of acquiring it, the soundest hope of each uiau to keep what he has and to garner more of the store ripe for industry, lies in the thinfs that are kept free for all men. | A certain slack Bchool of thought iB fond of saying that the possessors of wealth are trustees ■ for the poor. It would be belter to say that they are lessees. The wise rich man executes his trust in a humane manner because.he knows that his property is safe j ' only if others may have a degree of the prosperity be enjoys. There has never been a success ful monopoly of riches becnu«e it creates power for anarchy to take them away. Personal ownership I is sale as it shared. The sound democracy is a fellowship of capi- I . tal. Among the essentials that are "free" are space, air and beauty. - These are communistic commod ities supporting individual pos sessions. As they are obtainable there is peace; as they are scaroe, there'is war. With them poverty maybe acreativediscontentjwith out them it isa destructive men see. A little thing like dogwood in bloom. Afew weeks of a peculiar glory. A starry blessing ou'a new greeneoy of spring. Every jour ney a poem, so good that it must be mute. A thing that endows by being. A treasure that all can share. Yet what happens to it? Not only the hundreds of cars behond the State's price limit,but ten thousand Lissies withen it, are denuding the roads of their vernal vestments. They roll into the kities as so many trophy bear era of Justic beauty of which the publi has been robbed. They kill or maim nobody no one knows how many trees. They satisfy a desire of a moment and blot out > an eternity of delight. On. one pretext and another, mon are constantly getting mouey from other men.

It is a disbearteuing thing for a farmer to have cultiyate and care for a crop when the stand is ihin. A perfect stand is essential to biggest acre yields whether the crop is planted iu rows or bioad pasted. ' i'rof. C. R. Hudson of the farm | 'demonstration division at State i College states that to have a good | stand of any kind of crop, fr.ur thiols aro essential —good soil preparation, sound and well ma tured seed, proper planting and carefulness in spacing and culti vation. "Soil that is not properly broken and disked or harrowed will hardly ever give good re sults," says Prof. Hudson. "There is a lack of uniform germination and growth of plants. This is true where the seed bed is either hard and dry, with clods every where, or if it is too open and porous on account of being re cently broken. "It-pays to plant seed,tbat have a germination test of around 1)0 percent, and enough seed should be planted to assure a good stand. ■This will makethiuning necessary later but when this is done the stand should not be destroyed. Tests with cottou show, tnat as a rule, the plants are not left thick enough in the row. Ou poor land, the rows should not be over three feet apart; but, ou rich land the rows may be wider. It is best to leave tne cotton the width of the hoe apart with from one to three stalks in the hill." Mr. Hudson states that some farmers have secured excellent stands by delintiug their cottou seed before planting or by wetting them thoroughly and rolling iu ashes, soil or commercial fertiliz er. Too much fertilizer ou lie seed may kill some of them, lie states that not less thau one-half to two bushels of seed per acre be planted. Marketing Strawberries, Poultry And Other Farm Products- By shipping 2,046 cars of straw berries iu 1924, North Carolina has now climbed into third posi tion as a leading strawberry Stale, being surpassed only by Tennes see and Maryland. Shipments will begin this year around May 10 to 15 and there is a decrease is acre age of about fifteen percent a* compared with last year, reports Qeorge Ross, chief of the State Division of Markets. Mr. Ross states that Duplin County leads in the production of berries with 9G5 cars shipped last year from 2,080 acres. The lead ing variety is Missionary. Colum bus Couuty is second with UOS c.tra from 2,240 acres largely of the Kloudyke variety, During the past few*days Ave carloads of poultry and five of eggs have been shipped coopera tively by farmers under the direc tion of county agents aud the live stock marketing specialists of the Division, plans under way call for shipping two oars of poultry aud pne of eggs from Sampson County, one car of poultry from .western Carolina and one car lroin Reide ville. "Camera are learning through these cooperative shipments that poultry and eggs form a mouey crop of much value", says V. W* Lewis, livestock marketing spec ialist. "These shipmeuts are re lieving looal surpluses and are in creasing the prices paid to farm* era by lo« al dealers. The money is being distributed now while cash is scaroe and when fertiliser* and seeds must be bought. It is econ omy to pay oaah for these suppliee and the poultry surplus is help ing out in this. Indications are that there will bean increase in the aoroage to peanuts this year In North Car olina this wiU average 15 per ceut over last year and percent for the country as a whole.

According to apian being per fected by J. A. Arey, dairy spec ialist for Agricaltnrial Extension Service of State College, the com mercial creameries oi North Car olina will be iu aided the manufac ture of a better grade of batter bya system ofgrading to begin on April 15. Mr. Arey will cnrrjon this work with the cooperatiou of the State Division of Markets and will study and grade the butter sent in by the nine leading cream eries of the State. Mr. Arey says, "The majority of our creamery managers 'are business men with no knowlege of how to make the best grade of butter. They have to depend en tirely on the butterinaker in the plant and oftentimes this inau has been trained in the local p'aut without outside knowledge. We expect to secure samples of but ter from five different cburnings each month, to make chemical analyses of these and then to score the butter from a physical standpoint. A report will be made to the creameries each month showing the score of the local product and the averages of the butter made by the other creameries. We will give each creamery a key number kept ou file in this office so that one creamery might not use the re port to the detriment of another in an advertising way." • Mr. Arey states that this report will enable tbe creamery to keep up witb the quality of butter be ing manufactured aud will help the local managers to produce a better quality of pro*' uct by poiut iug out its good aud poor quali ties. Sales of Berries and Poultry- Inquiries sent out to 500 grow ers of truck crops in southeastern Carolina indicate that the recent cold snaps did little damage to crops except to delay growth, re ports George R. Roas, Chief of the.State Division of Markets. Tbe heaviest shipment of lettuce will begin in the Wilmington district about April 18 to 20 aud the plant ings of about 1,74 i acres sbould produce a crop of around 1,300 cars. Shipments will, of course, depend on prices. Shipments of strawberries have been delayed, Btates Mr. Ross. Klondykes will begin moving from tbe Chadbourn section between April 10 and 15 while Missionaries from the Rose Hill-Chadbouru section will start moviug about April 2o to 25. The strawberry plautiugs total approximately 5,- 200 acres from wUich it is expect ed to harvest about 470,690 crates. "Our cooperative cariot ship ments of poultry have increased beyond our.bigbest expectations," says Mr. Ross. "During the past few weeks, iu cooperation with home and farm agents of the Stale College Extension Division aud vocational agricultural teacbers, we have moved 70,592 pouu'is of livti poultry. Uu the local market tbis poultry was selling al from 18 to 2u cents per pound but by shipping to outside markets, we have secured an average of 23£ ceuts per pound, saviug to the farmers in most cases about five ceuts per pound. This, alone, is a total saving to the farmers of nearly four thousand dollars. An other result has been the setting up of receiving aud sbippiug sta tions lor eggs." One of the major chores of the modern womau is looking after her bobbed hair. Save while you're young— aren't you glad your rich grand father saved when he was young?
