All debt to he paid and all accounts presented to D. A. Cornelison, Sea grove, N. C , OVERPRODUCTION IN A Convenient Rack (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) In order to make the small farm profitable, it is, in most cases, neces sary for the farmer io devote himself to some intensive type of agriculture such as truck farming, poultry, fruit growing, intensive dairying, etc. Be fore any of these can be successful, the market demand and transportation facilities must be adequate. When perishable products are grown far from their markets not only are the freight and commission charges apt to be prohibitive, but in the period be tween the shipping of tte commodity and its sale on the market, prices which were attractive at time of ship ment may have dropped with results disastrous to the grower. Intensive crops such as garden truck, fruit, etc., have a much wider range and more rapid fluctuation of prices than staples like wheat or corn. A comparatively small acreage is suf ficient to supply the demand for the Intensive crops. It is very easy there fore to increase this acreage to a point where the market Is flooded and prices drop immediately. Taking the country as a whole, vegetables, includ ing potatoes, occupy only two and one half per cent of the crop area, and this acreage, under present conditions, fur nishes about all that the market can absorb 'at a price that will be profit able to the grower. If the farmer is ill-advised enough to undertake the production of garden truck at a time when the supply Is greater than the available markets re quire, it is a comparatively easy mat ter for him to correct his mistake. In the case of fruit, however, it takes longer to produce a crop, a'ui a simi lar mistake is therefore Lkeiy to 1)9 A Good Bunch more serious. The acreage devoted to fruit is even smaller one and three fourths per cent of the country's crop area than that devoted to vegetables. Until there is increased consumption either in this or other countries ac cessible to our growers overproduction can easily occur. Sorghums for Southern Live Stock. Every southern farmer who is pro ducing beef or milk should grow the sweet sorghums. These are not rec ommended as money crops, but as a fodder they are practically equal in value to corn while as a rule better yields can be obtained. They should be consumed for the most part on the farm where they are grown or at least at points within hauling distance. The sorghums are particularly use ful as silage, which is essential to the live stock owner and particularly to the dairy farmer. The various south ern states report yields of from 16 to 20 tons of sorghum silage per acre, which is an average of from 2 to 4 tons more than the yields of corn, while the relative value pound for pound of the two feeds has been found to be much the same by experiments conducted at the Kansas agricultural experiment station. In fact for beef cattle 'these tests showed that sweet sorghum silage was, if anything, su perior to corn silage. The sorghums intended for silage, however, should not be harvested before they are fully matured. If cut when the seed is hard there will be no trouble from spoiling or from excessive acidity. From 20 to 30 pounds per day is considered a full feed, but this should always be sup plemented with 12 to 15 pounds of dry roughage and some concentrate like corn or cottonseed meal. Cottonseed meal combines particularly well with sorghum silage, and since this meal is always abundant in the South, this is another reason for growing the sor ghum. For forage in the South the sweet sorghums will be found better than the grain sorghums, such as mllo, kafir and fetcrita, which suffer from the attacks of the sorghum midge. Of the various varieties the Sumac, Orange, Amber, Gooseneck and Honey are probably to be preferred. The Am-, ber and Orange are the earlier kinds and two cuttings can often be obtained from them. Ail of these varieties re spond excellently to good soil, but they succeed on many different types; a rich, loose, well-drained clay loam soil is the best. A water-logged clay or extremely saidy soil will not afford profitable returns. Fertilizers strong in nitrate applied to poor soils will produce good results and 'he free use of barnyard manure is always advis able. Sorghums may be planted as soon as the ground becomes warm in the spring, usually from one to two weeks later than Indian corn. When the sea son is favorable, the planting mav be INTENSIVE FARMING for Hauling Fodder done at any time until it is too late to permit the crop to mature before frost. The land should be plowed In the spring for surface planting and then allowed to lie rough until about seed ing time when it should be smoothed with a drag harrow or disk. For fur row planting spring plowing is not necessary. A lister like those made for planting corn can be used on stubble or cotton land without pre vious preparation. If the farmer does not have a lister the furrow can be laid . out with a plow and the seed planted with a one-horse drill after the manner of planting cotton or corn. Planting in furrows is recommended for western Texas or Oklahoma, and flat or ridge planting for all the region east of this where the rainfall is more abundant. When planted in rows 36 to 44 inches apart 4 to 6 pounds of seed to an acre are sufficient. Sorghum seed Is usually cheap, but the farmer Is urged to buy only standard varieties from a reliable dealer. When planting In rows, thorough cultivation is as essential to the sorghums as to corn; This method produces larger yields and the crop is better prepared to withstand drought than if broadcast or drilled. Where the latter method is followed, how ever, the practice is the same as for oats or any other small-grain crop. Cowpeas or soy beans are also fre quently mixed with sorghum to im prove the quality of the hay. This is especially frequent tin dairy farms. Three parts of cowpeas or soy beans to one of sorghum seed is the usual proportion. From CO to 90 pounds of the seed mixture is required to the aero. As pasture, sorghum is safe only after it Ik'.s become fully matured; of Feeder. that is, after the seed has become hard. Before this time, especially aft er a period of drought, a poison some times forms which is fatal to stock. Where there are two growths the sec ond is considered more dangerous than the first, and any stock allowed to pasture on it should be carefully watched. In feeding the hay, from IS to 25 pounds a day will be found sufficient for milk cows and work horses, if It is accompanied by the ordinary amount of grain. Beef cattle, however, should be fed all that they will eat clean. Stock cattle and horses can be carried through the winter on a liberal quan tity of sorghum without any grain. INCREASING SOIL FERTILITY Farmer Can Secure More Cotton by Planting on Area Where Legumi nous Crops Have Grown. Inasmuch as green crops suitable for hog cholera can be maintained in the South practically every month in the year, it is possible for the south ern farmer to make more money than the northern farmer upon hog-producing operations, and the profits made are in proportion to the amount of green food used. But in addition to making ready money on the hogs themselves the farmer who grows le guminous .crops and grazes them off with hogs' has a fertilizer factory on his own farm. In a test at the Ar kansas station, hogs grazed upon areas of peanuts, chufas and soy beans. The following two years the land was planted in cotton, and data were col lected to determine what effect this grazing might have upon the cotton yield. The effect was remarkable; tor in stance, in the case of soy beans and peanuts the increased yield of cotton was 44.6 and 61.1 per cent, respective ly. The efTects of growing these crops arid grazing them off does not atop with the cotton grown the year Im mediately following the grazing. The data show that the Increase over the corn lot was still considerable in the second year. It Is therefore apparent that the farmer can get more cotton when It Is planted on an area where hogs have grazed or where peanuts, soy beans, or other legumes have been grown. Cottonseed Meal Protein. If some mill feed mush be pur chased as a source of protein, cotton seed meal is at present the cheapest source. A still better solution of the protein question is to grow it In al falfa or clover hay. Duck Raising. Ducks are very easily raised and good layers or good market fowls, will thrive in any climate, with a dry Shed for shelter. TEN WEEKS IN BED EMINENT PHYSICIANS FAILED WON DERFUL RECOVERY I wish to inform you of the great benefit I have derived from the use of Swamp-Root. I had been a sufferer for more than twenty years from kid ney and liver trouble and was almost constantly treated by the most emi nent physicians who could only give me temporary relief. I had been in bed ten weeks when I began the use of Swamp-Root. Inside of twenty four hours I could see that I had been greatly benefitted. I continued to use Swamp-Root until I had used several bottles when I really felt that my old trouble was completely cured and 1 am positive that any person suffering frith kidney or liver trouble can be cured by the use of this preparation. I am now in the best of health, bet ter than I have been for ten years or more. I do not know how to express myself as strongly as I desire, in fa vor of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, as I am sure that it saved my life and that my good health is due entirely to thh, great remedy. I heartily recommend it to every sufferer and am confident they can be benefitted as I have been It is a pleasure for me, gentlemen, to hand you this recommendation. MRS. H. J.

NORTH CAROLINA SURGEONS Seeing New Methods in Northern Cities A number of North Carolina'3 lead ing surgeons are in New York attend ing special clinics in order to gain ad ditional informs ton as to the most modern science of their profession. The idea originated with Dr. J. W. Long, tf Greensboro. The New York World in a recent issue carried the story fro mwhich we quote: "To educate themselves in the latest methods of modern surgery 16 promi nent and experienced North Carolina surgeons have relinquished large practices temporarily and have come here for a 'post-post-graduate course in surgery. The party yesterday watched 40 operations, especially reserved and de signed for their instruction, at the Post-Grauuate. " 'One of the most wonderful opera tions we saw today,', said Dr. G. W. Pressley, of Charlotte, to a repoter for the World last night at the Hotel McAlpine, where the rwty is staying, 'was an entirely new v tthod for the treatment of leg fractures. This method was originated by Dr. John J. Moorhead and obviates the use of splints entirely. Dr. Moorhead per formed an operation for our benefit. " 'Yesterday at Mt. Sinai Hospital we were treated to a blood transfusion operation by a method new to all of us. Heretofore the great difiiculty in blood transfusion cases has lain in the clotting- of the blood. One way of avoiding this has been to let the healthy blood .stand until it clotted and then strain the clots, but this was like using- skimmed milk all the strength was lost. "'In tiie operation at the lit. inai Hospital a healthy man got h2' for a pint of his blond. When this pint of blood was taken it wi s treated with a i'(lu;ioii of 1 Urate of soda, which en tirely prevented ali clot ting. The pa tient was a boy two years old. He was nearly dead when he was broucht into tii" operating room. This pint of healthy blood .v. as shot into him and the eli'eet of the operation was almost in.sU.nt. " 'You could just see him shake o'.X disease ami ne.v life pour through hlni. He will recover though he had pneu monia and a heart lesion. " 'We saw at the l'ost-Graduate some remarkable cancer operations 011 women, there being no incisions. At the Roosevelt we saw a piece of bone four inches long and a quarter of an inch thick cut from the shank and grafted to the forearm, from which a diseased portion four inches long had been removed. " 'What impressed me most was the wonderful skill of the New York sur geons in operating. The most difficult and tortuous work was done with the maximum of rapidity and dexterity. Their technique was wonderful.' "On Saturday the North Carolinians will mcve on Boston where special clinics have been arranged." NELSON W. ALDRICH For thirty years Nelson W. Aldrich, as a Senator of the United Stales from Rhode Island, was one of the most powerful men in the world. He was powerful in construction and he was powerful in destruction. Mr. Aldrich subscribed without re serve to the theory that business and politics should always be combined. Acting on this inspiration, he was in fluential in the drafting of the Mc Kinley and Dingley tariffs, and later on, when he might have written a tariff bill himself he s?v no impro priety in permiting munufactur-.'rswho were to be benefitted by the measure that was to bear his name to inscribe upon the schedules whatever th ;ir own greed dictated. He served himself in the same way when he revised the rubber schedule upward. Taxation is a sovereign power. Mr. Aldrich was a high-taxer always for what he deemed the promot on of business. Ho had no knowledge of economics. To him the consumer, the man who ultimately paid the tax, was unknown. If by favoring laws he could make various employers rich, he was confident that the community as a wnoie wouia DC me gainer, ana 11 millions of men and women were op pressed or corrupted by this process, it was nothing to him. Holding these views, and enforcing them as the most influential member of a Republican Senate, he exerted a power of taxation over :Jie American people a thousand times more onerous than that against which they rebelled in 17766. This was his power of con struction. His power of destruction was revealed in 1909, when, by fore ing the extortionate Payne-Aldrich tariff through a Congress pledged to tax reduction, he wrecked the Taft Administration and reduced the Re publican party to two warring and impotent factions. Probably there is need in all politi cal societies of men like Mr. Aldrich, but in countries that boast of equality and justice, such men ought never to exercise a control, as he did for so many years, unchecked and practical ly unchallenged. New York World, GROW BEEF IN THIS STATE Contests to be Engaged in for Benefit of Boys For Civic Improvement. The North Carolina Beef Breeders' and Feeders' Association has inaupur ated a contest which will last until September 1. Explanatory letters and rule3 are behg sent out over the state. It is believed that North Carolina can grow and fatten beef as well as any state. The following letter has been sent to rural school children in the .Ba';e: The North Carolina Beef Breeders' and Feeders' Association wants to se cure accurate information about all the farmers in the state who are now producing or feeding bee cattle, or who are in position to do so. "We believe that beef cattle can be grown and fattened in North Carolina as cheaply as in any other state in the Union, and that in a few years' time the responsibility for producing a large, part of the meat supply of America will fall on the Southern states. "Several valuable prizes will be off ered for the best prepared and most complete beef cattle survey made by any school boy or girl in his or her district for the purpose of obtaining this information. "If you want to enter this contest, estimate the number of farmers in your school district from whom you can get the information we desire and then write R. S. Curtis, West Raleigh, N- C, telling him the number of blanks you will need (that is one for each farmer). Additional blanks will be provided later, if you need them, but do not write for more than you really need. A record will be kept of your name and the number of blanks you appiy for. and the number you send in. If you waste them it will be scored against you. "1. Pupils over JG years of aee on September 1, l:i:,, will not be eligible to the contest. ' - Pi''l -v'!l be allowed to fill out and return more that five blanks o- surveys. "'!. A record w ill be kept of the number of blanks each pupi! asks for, and if more are requested than act ually used in the contest this be scored against the pupil. "t. Return unused blanks, if any, with the completed survey.-: when they are mailed back to this office. "5. It will be perrr.iss.able for pu pils to interview Wie same farmer or set of farmers. However, this is not desirable if, by s doing, any interest ed tanner or set of farmers is orritted in your school district. "6. It will be permisable in this contest for pupils seeking information to have the farmers obtain in any leg itimate manner a reply to the ques tions which cannot be answered. This may be accomplished by having them write to the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, Washington? D. C; the State Department of Agricul ture, Raleigh, N. C; the North Car olina College of Agriculture, West Raleigh, N. C; the North Carolina Experiment Station, Wert Raleigh, N. C; the State Farm Demonstration Agent, Raleigh, N. C; or the district and county demonstration agents un der the State agent. Information may be obtained from any other reliable source by the farmer. "7. Answers to all questions must be in the handwriting of the pupil. The replies to the questions must be through the farmer or farmers inter viewed. The pupils will not be per mitted to write for the information direct. "For further information relative to the contest, write to R. S. Curtis, Secretary-Treasurer, West Raleigh, N. C. R EG L'LATOR R ECORDS The State Historical Commission, Raleigh, has received from Orange county commissioners some valuable Revolutionary records that will be put in thorough restored and rein forced condition to insure their pres ervation and accessibility. They in clude two volumes of the trial docket and minutes of the Superior Court of 176S when the Regulators raided Hnlsboro and drove out th. ,nd. court oflkers am, jawyers and J made all manner of profane and con. temptuous entries on the docket as to cases pending against Regulators. The records give a most valuable in sight to the industrial and political conditions. They have been long freely used by students of history, but had become so worn and frayed thr.t their total loss was imminent and the donation of them to the State com mission makes it possible for the State to have them thoroughly reinforced and restored for permanent and thor oughly accessible condition in the ar chives of the State Historical Com mission at Raleigh.
