A Guilford county iov. wha is
making a record in farm work is
Bascomb Holt, the 1 6-year-old son
of Dr. W. T. Holtr of McLeans-
ville, who produced this year 176
bushels of wheat on 10 acres. Two
of these acres made a yield of r48
bushels. He also raised 37 bushels
of rye. There is nothing wrong
with this youthful farmer.
It is estimated that there was a
gain of 20 per cent in the yield of
wheat in North Carolina 'this sea
son, compared with the yield J of
1909. It is believed, in fact, that
the yield this season averaged : 12
bushels to the acre, compared with
a average of 9 5-for 1909. " On this
basis the 1910 yield is 8,206,000
bushels, compared with 5,415,000
lastyear. lne acreage to is year
is estiinated at About. 685,000 Vas
compared with 270,000 last year.

and with his mule in a run went to
a stable, into which the mule was
olaced. Soon the bees followed
and again covered the mule's head;
They were again knocked off and a
run to the. woods was made, but of

finally the bees were knocked -off

..." t ' ;
. How nice that Cupid appreciates
the efforts of the O. Ms. in hU be
half and. U ,ao nnwilling. to part
with theml Perhaps, he really is
thinking of reform. In that case
their efforts to keep up the tem
perature . through "Long Cool
Spells" will not be relaxed. It
would never do for the dear child
to take cold on account of his un
fortunate habits of undress, which
really are shocking.
The .Progressive, Mythological
Circle is exclusive and obliged to
turn down all applications for
membership, especially from per
sons displaying such ignorance and
using such blatant vulgarity of
language as the erstwhile' corres
pondent from Sugar ,HUL The
moon as an infirmary for O. Ms.
indeedl Does be not know that
there is a man in itf Moreover,
it has always been the patron plan
et of young very youngr-loTera.
Bahl TUckle a subject near your
own size, that. you know about.
The title O, M. can no longtr be
used as a boomerang with .which
to corral -all women into .matri
mony, for onlr by the hidebound
old fogies. is it now considered a
stigma. There are too many heal
thy, happy and independent O. Ms
for that old relic of barbarism? to
obtain any longer.
The background idea, now, we
rather like. It suits our retiring
disposition. But all the background
there is, clear up to Esquimau
land, seems to be cluttered with
Dr. Cook's own impedimenta.
"Proofs," and divorce suits. , Now
the O. Ms.' would cheerfully go to
No Man- Land, could it avail them,
to escape contact with such speci
mens of the Morally. Stunted. If
Mrs. Cook had ignored the moon
she need not hare figured so con
spicuously in the Great American
Burlesque. Spare your compli
ments and your solicitude, gentle
men.' Our own modest little. por
tion of Mother i Earth is pretU
cool and comfortable to live in
these days, and we have no thought
of emigrating. It is rather' well
fitted up with patents, too, for on
ly on the more persistent agents
do we habitually use the broom.
The whole diatribe of them, bow-
ever', cannot make us afraid. Dr.
Cook is probably thelightnlcgrod
man, of unhappy memory. -

Favors Establishing Agricultural
Schools in. Each County. ,
In an address before the dele
gates to the State Farmers' Union,
InRaVuh tha week. Dr. J. Y.
Joyner, State suDerintendent of
education, declared in faror of es
tablishing , agricultural farm life 1
school V-at least : One in each coon-
ty.7 He outlined. the plan of. bar
ing the Legislature appropriate
$50,000 or $100,000 and then ap
portion this in 1 lots . of $2,500 to
counties in which the county au
thorities and the people will pro
vide suitable farm and school build
ings, including dormitories, and
raise at least an additional $2,500
toward maintenance. He declared
this the most needful step at .this
time in the' development of the
educational system of the State.
He thought that a $50,000 appro
priation 'should be demanded of
the next Legislature and this al
lotted throughout the State .where
counties are ready to undertake
tms.adranced wnrk. J . v
. He thought it wonld . be unwise
to undertake to place such schools
in all the counties. at .once, as it
would precipitate an unwieldy ays
tera for which eren the necessary
trained teachers would not.be
available. v
