This is the beginning of dog

and they are not all two legged,
either.
important to Fanners.
At another place in this issue
we are publishing a complete
programme of Fanners Institutes
which will be held at Mebane,
Tuesday# July 25th; Elon College,
Wednesday, July 26th, and at
P’riendship High School, Wednes
day, August 23rd. At these dates
and places will also be held Wo
men’s Institutes under the •direc
tion of Mrs. Sui8 V. Hollo well and
others.
These institutes are of vast
amount of good^ both to women
and men, as they give opportuni
ty for the discussion of the bet
terment of rural home life, and
every farmer and farmer's wife
who can possible do so should ^t
tend. Speakers of state wide
reputation, men who know what
is most needed on the farm, will
be present and deliver addresses.
To enthuse the occasions, small
premiums have been offered.
A special invitation is extended
the boys and young men to be
present at these institutes.
The places are arranged so it
will be convenient for you to at
tend one or more without going
far.
The Chamber of Commerce is
getting in some good work these
days, and have succeeded in hav
ing another store vacated.
With near-beer barred, their
water supplies bankrupt, and no
rain in sight, the position of ma
ny of our towns is undeniably
serious.
The amusements owned and
run'by our own citizens are re
quired to close at 9 o'clock, while
those owned and run by outsiders
can run all night. In this in
stance it pays to be an outsider.
It’s awfully dry in Burlington
just now for the want of rain.
This does not indicate however
that the firey liquid is not served
at the usual places, for those
who are afraid of snake bites.
The governor failed to hand
the plum out yesterday. The
erowd around the fruit stand
grows from day to day. Already
twenty-seven have been on the
job, to say nothing of their at
tendants.
I The Burlington Beverage Co.
are always upon the lookout for
improvements in their well equip
ped and up-to-date bottling
plant. They have just installed
a bottle soaker and washer that’s
a dandy. Cleanliness and up-to-
date methods are watch-words of
th ese enterprising people. When
you buy their drinks you may
rest assured that you are getting
the best.
Since our last publication, Mr.
John E. Hart, Editor of, The
State Dispatch has severed his
connection to accept^the lucrative
position as foreman of The Bur
lington New.s. The Stats Dis
patch regrets exceedingly to
loose Mr. Hart as its Editor, and
wish to congratulate The News
upon securing hi«i valuable ser
vice. He has served The Dis
patch for more than three years,
faithfully and loyally, bearing
the burdens and heat of the day
with untiring patience, hence we
feel the loss severely.
A.nnoiincement,
My connection with The State
Dispatch terminated last Satur
day, after serving it in various
capacities for more than three
years. The labor has been ar
duous, yet I have enjoyed it, be-
lieA'ing that my labors were ap
preciated by the patrons and the
stockholders. I think so yet,
and leave the work and the, as
sociates with the same kindly
feelings that existed when the
work was taken up more than
three years ago, in fact, before
the paper was started. As I
had the pleasure of printing the
first one and have been continual
ly on the job ever since. I have
seen the paper grow from, com-
Daratively speaking, nothing, to
one among the best and most
widely read papers in the coun
try, and in severing my connec
tion with it does not sever my
best wishes for its continued suc
cess and ptxMperity. In making
these few remarks I desire to
thank those staunch friends who
stood by me so loyally in my ef
forts, to say that this friend
ship is appreciated is stating the
case too mildly, and I trust you
will give my successor the same
loyal support and encourage
ment extended me.
In this connection I am glad to
announce that I will remain in
Burlington, having accepted the
position as foreman in the office
of The Burlington News, where
I will be pleased to have my
friends drop in and see me.
Again thanking you and wish
ing each one success and happi
ness, I am,
Respectfully,
John E. H.\rt.

June Crop Report.
Prof. N. C. MuiTay, acting
Chief of the crop reporting board
of the Department of Agriculture
at Washington, reports that crops
are not up to the average, caused
by the drought. Oats and hay
seem to have had the hardest
hits. Less than two thirds of a
normal crop of hay is expected,
and oats probably will be more
than twenty-five per cent less
than last year and about .twelve
per cent less the average fOr the
last five years. -
The corn average is largest
ever recorded, but the condition
of the crop is about seven per
cent below the average. That
indicates a production of about
five per cent less than last year’s
record crop but a better yield
than the average production dur
ing the past five years.
The potato crop promises to be
unusually short. The corn has
fallen off probably on account of
unsatisfactory prices the past
year. The condition of the pota
to crop is lower than at any time
on July 1st for twenty-two years.
Owing to the difficulty in the
setting out of tobacco pl^ts, the
acreage of tobacco has been re
duced 28 percent from last year.
The shorten of acreage and low
condition of the crop at pi^sent
indicate a total prod^uctioh 63.3
per cent of last year’s crop.
Wheat notwitibstanding the
drwight will be well up to the
Uverage.
