HOME SEED POTATOES BEST.
Elizabeth City, July 15.—Seed Irish
potatoes secured from growers in the
mountains of western North Carolina
demonstrated their superiority over
those from Canadian and Maine sour
ces in a test recently concluded by
County Agent G. W. Falls, of Pas
quotank county. Mr. Falls put out a
demonstration with M. B. Sample, of
this county, early in the spring in an
effort to find out whether the N. C.
grown seed would do as well as the
northern grown seed.
Mr. Sample reported that the yield
on the three plots was practically the
same, being at the rate of 209 bushels
of marketable potatoes per acre. The
seed from Western Carolina, however,
produced the earlier plants and yield
ed a few more No. 2 stock than the
others. The Canadian stock showed
a tendency to be later but were well
fruited. Since earliness is an import
ant matter in getting best prices for
new potatoes, it would seem from Mr.
Sample’s results that the home grown
seed had an advantage over the north
ern grown.
According to Director B. W. Kilgore
of the extension service this test is i
in line with similar results secured j
by the specialists of the college and
department of agriculture.
NOTES FROM ERECT.
Bennett, July 11. —A large crowd

tion.

liams, Tommie Williams were visitors

ing.

$250 AN ACRE ON CABBAGE.
A net profit of $250 an acre is
claimed by Herman Newbern, promin
ent Camden county farmer, on 12
acres of cabbage this year. The beauty
of it is that Mr. Newbern gets this
$3,000 for a crop made between the
27th of March and July Ist, which
gives him time to harvest another pro
j fitable crop of soy beans or sweet
potatoes from the same land.
Mr. Newbern got 4,000 crates of
cabbage from those 12 acres which
sold at an average of $1.50 a crate,
giving him a gross revenue of $6,000
or SSOO an acre. He thinki his yie'd
| would havj been increased 30 percent
; but for the dry weather in May and
June.
Mr. Nev/bern’s fertilizer bill on the
12 acres was SSOO, and this SSOO is
deducted from the $6,000 in figuring
the net profit of $3,000.
HENDLEY’S COMMENTS.
Politician —Patriot. Sounds like
a marriage anouncement, don’t it?
Well, it is anything else but, this be
ing a discourse on the wheres and
whyfores of a politician and a patriot.
When some long-haired, wild-eyed
gent of the legal fraternity rears up
on his haunches and proclaims to all
creation that such and such a thing
desired by a certain community or
party is a national disgrace and
states in no uncertain terms the
various and sundry reasons for same
he is immediately labeled by all the
forces his plea does not favor as a
member of that disreputable band of
shifty, shady tricksters who should
be given an opportunity to think the
matter over in the quiet seclusion of
a room in the house of correction, in
short he is a politician.
But just let the same individual
fare forth and deliver himself of about
nine yards of eloquence anent the
reasons why the aforementioned
things contended against should be .
given the said community and the *
“dear peeple” will cheer and encore
and acclaim him as at once a brilliant ;j
orator, a great ethical fighter, a sa- |
! vior of the country and —a patriot.
It’s all in the point of view. j
Os all the criminally foolish things k
it has been our lot to observe chroni- /
cled as we scan the daily papers the
recently initiated balloon racing ap- ;
pears to be the capping climax of the
silly season. j
Each year along in July some-aero- ;
maniac ushers in the suggestion of a ■
balloon race and anywhere from 10 J
to 20 of the big gas bags are cut
loose from their morings and deliver- <
ed to the tender mercies of the cur- j
rents of the upper air. The men in
the baskets of these giants of the air j
have no means of guiding their crafts j
and can only trust that the gods of
chance will be kind and not carry j
them into the waste and desolate spots I
of the country.
Last year a balloon was carried far I
into the north country and dropped I
its crew amid the uninhabited .
stretches of the northland and only as- j
ter dire privation and narrow escapes '
from death did they finally reach civi
lization again. In the race this year
the crew was not so fortunate. Their
bag dropped into the Great Lakes
near the Canadian line and one of the
pilots and his companion lost their
lives. ■’ j
It is evident to the rawest amateur
that balloons can never figure as a ,
factor in the commercial world. They
have no means of self-propulsion and
the direction of their course depends <
wholly on the direction of the wind. 1
Their carrying capacity is compara- \
tively small and they can never hope 1
to become a means of transportation.
So will someone be so considerate as
to point out the common sense in
men giving up their lives in an en
deavor to develop a hopeless theory?
If there was the remotest possibil
ity of balloons ever gaining promin
ence as a utility in transportation
there would be some excuse for men
sacrificing their lives to develop it
to the point where it could be utilized
but since it is a foregone conclusion
that this is an impossibility we call
it little short of criminal to allo\v
men to continue this useless destruc
tion of human lives.
Many lives have been sacrificed to
develop the railroads, airships and
other means for modern transporta
tion but in the early days of their de
velopment it was evident that it was
possible for them to be developed
while with the balloon it can be seen
by the rankest novice that it is a sheer
impossibility to ever hope that these
engines of destruction can ever be im- j
proved to the point where they will
be of use to the commercial world.
If we may be allowed the privilege
we would suggest that a ban be put
on this balloon bubble now and for
ever. Amen.
AT THE HEART OF THE STAFF.
A worm is eating its ways into the
heart of the happiness of the women
of this world; and the name of that
hateful thing is envy. Do you know
of anybody within the circle of your
acquaintance, who is really and truly
saitsfied with the things that come to
her? For a little while as you speak
with tnese dear ones, the truth may
be kept out of sight; and then, al
most without warning, into the sun
light it comes and you see it in all its
hideous ugliness. EnvyY Why ev
erybody wishes he had something
somebody else has. We are all striv
ing with all our might, mind and
strength to get the things our neigh
bors have, or the means to place us .
in possession of those things.
And it is just as true as anything |
tha tever was said that the moment .
we get the things for which we are
constantly working and longing, that 1
moment they lose their beauty for us. ,
We find that they have cost us too
much. They are not half as precious
as we thought they would be. They ,
are all stained over with hatefulness
something has marred their beauty so
that we never will be happy in their
possession. Indeed, we often wish we
never had gained them.
There is away to kill this worm
before it reaches the heart of the staff
upon which we are leaning so hard.
It is within the reach of us all. And
that way is to make a perfect treasure
of the things you have. Let them all
be to you just the things that are love
liest and best. If it be only a rose,
see in its petals all the loveliness that
God ever put into any flower. If it
be a husband let him be to you God’s
choicest gift. Is it a home? Make
that home your Garden of Eden, and
let no serpent of envy ever charm
away your loyalty and your love for
j him.
! On “the staff of contentment you
| may lean as hard as you will all the
' days of your life. It will never break;
it will not slip and let you fall. Con
tentment is the rarest gem ever giv
l i en to mortal and it is as beautiful as
jit is rare. But we may all have it if
I j we will it and work for it. Nothing
I I will make us happier whe*\ once we
gain it.—Exchange.
Never enter a sick room in a state
of perspiration as the moment you be
come cool your pores absorb.
