He is editor of the Progressive Farmer, the leading farm paper in this and several other Southern states, and his reputa tion as an orator is well known.

DELIVER ADDRESS BIG PARADE EXHIBITS VARIED FEATURES yet he has risen to such a place in edu- April 2, 1915 UTTER FROM TEXAS SOIL AND TIMBER DESCRIBED- CROPS RAISED METHODS OF TEXAS FARMERS. - (By W. B. -Owen, Sr.) I write this time of what 1 saw while at the home of my brother, J. M Owen, Sr. I. remained there abount one month. - The land in .Brown county is very rich, except on the hills and little mountains, and -there it is not good for much but graiing. These hills look as if they were made of fiat rocks and layers of dirt. The grass grows just tne same, and those bushes, never saw anything like them. I saw on one mountain thirteen different kinds. of stickers, and some of them looked as if they would be dangerous to step on With thin shoes. But : muse oe nne grazing tana, ior 1 sa cm jwot 01 ltou acres as nigh Wo Hundred y casings from oae two years old, and fifty ponies they call them horses. They belong to the ten dollar grade that they ride with a forty dollar saddle and a spine on each heel of .the shoe. But they do work with these horses and feed by pastur ing. I saw men plowing with four horses hitched to a disk plow, and I fully believe they were plowing two inches deep and no deeper. They say it will not do to plow that land deep, I thought it was the ten dollar pony it did pay to do deep plowing with. The valley land is black or choco late; the latter being the best for all purposes, but the other the richer. On the black land, grows the mukeet timber, and now and then a patch of live oaks and some post oaks along tne streams, c:so pecans and almonds The chocolate land has post oak Spanish oak, black jack, tn l hackber- ry. Scarcely any of the timber more than fifteen feet high. The mukeet is fine for fence posts. ine heart never rots, cut sets hard you can scarcely drive a nail in to it. Everything is fenced with barb ed wire. The men first fence in all they own and then fence the cultivat od land off to itself, leaving all roads 60 feet wide for convenience in dnv. ing the cattle and ponies without dan gcr of being cut by the wires, The principal crops i;re cotton, corn, oats, some wheat for feed or forage sorghum and maize. They plant the two latter m rows and harvest with corn binder, stack in the field, and in r ebruary and March let the stock run to it and eat at will. They pasture the outs and wheat all winter, then thresh them on the edge of some bluff, ana let the straw lie where the machine puts it until it rots and wastes sway. When the stock get right hungry. tfcey nick it up. The people are waste ful with all their stuff. They never use any fertilizer or manure. The latter lies in the pens or stable (they don't use many stables) tin it gets in the way; it is then hauled out on some Muff, and there goes away to nothing-. They make a bale of cotton to the aire when it's a favorable year and" the bon weavil not too bad, but don t pick mere than two-thirds of tbe cot ton, and never pick- a lock off the rround. I saw fields of forty acres that were never picked on account of of the low prices. I made a trip across the country through Mills county into Sansaber county. The land in Mills county is about as I described it in Brown coun ty. Sandsaber county is sandy land. Wbpt I saw of it in cultivation is very fertile and easy to tend, but the wind Wows the sand one way one dav and back the ner.t, and some days when it is right drv you can hardlv see any 'listance. I'm rlid to say I was not there on one of those dry days. I crossed the Peros and Arizona rivers, the latter being the largest stream. Some of the people said must take a drink of water from the latter river, thpt every man who goi a drink from that would come back and stay. I am not very anxious to cro hack and stay, though it. is a very pretty country and very fertile. On January 30, I left my brother, "GET ACQUAINTED TRIP' CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FROM GREENSBORO TO VISIT ASHE BORO FRIDAY, MARCH 26. The following letter has been re ceived from the Chamber of Com merce, Greensboro, N. C, by Mr. J. D. Ross, secretary of the Randolph Club: The Chamber of Commerce of Greensboro has decided to take c 'Get Acquainted" trip once a month during the year 1915 to some neigh boring city. Our first trip was to Mt. Airy in February, which proved to be a very enjoyable and instructive occa sion. We want to come to Asheboro on the 26th of this month, and would be very glad indeed if you could arrange to have a number of your representa tive business men meet us and provide a place where we might exchange friendly felicitations. The object of these trips is many sided, one is to attract favorable at tention to Greensboro, another is to get our local business people better acquainted wtth each otner, and an other is to educate them to the re sources of - neighboring communities and cities, the most important being to create, if possible, a feeling of co operation between Greensboro, and those cities which we visit. We want you to know us better, and we want to know you better in or der -that we may co-operate in any way we can to build up our state, which in turn will result in building up both Asheboro and Greensboro. Hoping to receive a prompt reply advising that we will be welcome, and assuring you it would accord me great pleasura to serve you any time from this end cr the line, l remain. Yours very truly, J. C. FORESTER, Secretary. Mayor Cranford has appointed an entertainment committee to look after the visiting gentlemen. There will be a meeting at the court housa just af ter the arrival of the High Point train rnday morning. FIRE AT GOULD LODGE Three Buildings and Fifteen Horses Destroyed Loss About Twenty Thousand Dollars.

Among the horses lost, was "Pinana," Mr. Gould's favorite pony, which was valued at $1,200. The buildings were some distance from the lodge, which was not dam aged by the flames. The origin of the tire is unknown. It started while the keeper was at dinner, and when he returned it was too late to check the flames or save the animals or other property. The Gould lodge is one of the fa mous hunting lodges maintained in North Carolina by Northern million aires. It is a favorite resort of tnw owner, whose last hunting trip and visit to this lodge were about three weeks ago. It is supposed that the burned buildings will be speedily re built. DR.

CLARK ON WILSON ONE OF FIVE GREATEST NATION HAS EVER HAD CONGRESS HAS "FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT" Speaker Clark. addressing the Friendly Sons of St Patrick at Phil adelphia, last week, eulogized Presi dent wnson as "among the great Presidents whose names can be count ed on the fingers of one hand." the Congress has done its work, he -said, "Senators and Representa tives have returned to their homes. The President remains in Washington because of the ticklish situation in which we find ourselves by reason of the trans-Atlantic war and the civil war. It is no exaggeration to say that he bears a heavier load than any President since Lincoln has borne. No man, no men, can relieve hint o1 his burden. His troubles, being pure ly executive, in character, are his and his alone. In the very nature of things he knows more about what is going on abroad than does any other man in America, because he has bet ter means of information. Every good citizen, without ref erence to politics or religion, should trust him and uphold him in this crisis of our country's fate. May God give him the wisdom, courage and strength to keep us out of entangle ments with foreign Nations and lead us in the paths of peace. "When the Democrats came mte possession of the House, the Senate and the Presidency on March 4, 1918, after sixteen years of entire exclusion from power, we had a colossal task ahead of us. Looking the whole world in the face, we can truthfully and without fear of successful contra diction assert that we have courage ously, wisely and patriotically accom plished the major portion of that stu pendous undertaking. "The Baltimore platform contained a multitude of promises. We have re deemed many of them. While neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, I make bold to predict that in the next two years we will redeem the remain der. Rome was not built in a day, but nevertheless Rome was built Tw years were not enough ttme in which to place our extensive and patriot programme upon the statute books, though the 63rd Congress sat mors days and enacted more constructive legislation than any other that ever met. I have not even the shadow sf a doubt that the historian of our time will pronounce it a great Congress.. We f 'I'ght a gopd . f ijirht. We have kept the faith. The people will es dorse and reward us. 1 "The brilliant Benjamin Diarali Earl of Beaconsfield,declared that con temporaneous foreign opinion as to a public man is identical with the final verdict of history. Most assuredly, then, Woodrow Wilson will be rated among the great Presidents whose names can be counted on the fingers pf ope hand. "For more than a half century Re publicans have 'pointed with pride' and Democrats have 'viewed with alarm," the Speaker went on. "Now the boot is on the other foot. At pres ent the Democrats 'point with pride,' and alack! and alas! Republicans 'view with alarm'. They were fore ordained and predestined to dwell ia the cave of Adullam. "These complainants divide them selves into two classes: First, those who with countenances sorrowful as that of the Knight de La Mancha but with glee in their souls and hone in their hearts vociferate, purely for po litical effect, that the country is going to "The demnition bow wows.' In their case the wish is father to Uie thought Thero are not manv such un-American residents in this country so favored by Almighty God. But the few malig nants are unfortunately among the noisiest of mankind. The second class, suffering from the mulagrubs, is much larger, consisting of honest but timid Persons forever seeing ghosts, who in at years look forward fearfully to ftossible lean years and who are great y worried by the lamentations of the Cassandras and marplots aforemen tioned. These two classes keep up a how) that the country is going to the dogs and scare people out of their wits, thereby retarding progress , "We are proud of our record in the C3rd Congress. Of court there are those who carp a4 criticise and growl. God must have made pessin iets for some wise purpose, but their pestiferous existence demonstrates once more that God moves in a mis terious way his wonders to perform. "Prior to the time when we had the opportunity of doing things it was constantly asserted that we could and would do nothing. Now our friends, the enemy, solemnly asservate that we are ruining the country by doing too much. Certainly sons folks are bard to pleasa." FIRES TO PROTECT DOG Miss Floride Settle. wdl v..
