PAGE SIX O' AS As As As AN AN (JIN Ms ¥ AGRICULTURAL COLUMN * £ Conducted by * * R. D. GOODMAN. * * * ♦ *■«*********#• Record of Graduates of Agriculture School. Rv Z. P. METCALF, Director of In stitution. School of Agriculture. Ti e charge has been so frequently made tlr<tt the School of Agriculture does i.ot train farmers, but instead trails men away from the farm, that it si s'’.is well to look at the past and see iu st what has happened at North Caroli ia State College. The records of 3*l graduates of the School of Agri culture show- that of this number 149, or net rly 40 per cent., are engaged in farming. To some this will seem a fair »• rcentage. To others it will seem too it. all. This latter group will ask. Why should the State appropriate money to e locate men in a given profession, when more than half will never follow that profession? This group, however, is filling to take into consideration the enor mus demands for professional ag riculturists. . This is especially true in a state, such as North Carolina, which has boon passing through a virtual ag ricultural revolution within the past few years. Let ns analyze the jobs of these 304 graduates amt see just what kind of a story it tolls: « Farmers 149 Agricultural teachers 133 Colleges \..V¥r. 25 Extension Service 31 Experiment Station 16 Government service 15 133 Business ... 50 Veterinarians 10 1 Students, miscellaneous 16 Tims it can readily be seen that prac tically all these men are definitely fol lowing agricultural careers except the 50 men engaged in business of one kind or another. If we were to analyze the jobs of these men we should find that many of them are engaged in business closely related to agriculture, so that their agricultural tVaining is of the ut most value to them. So much for the past: what of the future? More ami more the people of North Carolina are going to look to State College for agricultural leader ship. And State College will be ready to meet this demand, not simply for men trained as farmers, but for men trained as agricultural loaders, men who can work with hands and hearts and minds for a greater state .agriculturally. Concrete Improvements on the Hog Farm bring definite returns in healthier, larger hogs; in more pork with less feed, and in greater profits from hog raising. Wallowing pools, feeding floors, drinking troughs, hog houses and such improvements of hard, :l.cSri, sanitary Concrete do not absorb filth and harbor disease germs. The cost of Concrete construction is small when the many advantages arc fairly considered. Upkeep cost is practically nothing. Satisfaction and serv ice are greater than with any other building material. E . Any farmer can make Concrete Improvements himself which, if done by outside help, would cost many times the small amount L • ne will spend for materials. Any Security Cement dealer I will' give you information and furnish Free Blue Prints ' vMRML \ showing how to build best at least cost. : jyKi spcujß ity . C EMENT I Makes Good Concrete f Announcing the New Star Car Mod els and the Improvements Which ! Have Been Incorporated in Their i Construction. I - To begin with, the appearance of the car has been greatly improved by a new type of radiator of very distinct- I ive design. The hood is constructed with concealed hing b es. Catches of improved design and a metal head which | enhances the attractiveness of the whole car materially. I The fenders, side aprons and radiator splash guard are all jj made of heavier gauge metal and improved method has I been utilized in attaching them to the chassis.. B, On all the new Star Car models, the spark and throttle levers are mounted on the steering column instead of being s attached to the instrument board. As in the previous models, the standard instrument and equipment includes a speedometer, dash light, oil guage, | ammeter, ignition switch and improved'choke rod, which jj is also mounted on the instrument board in place of the | wire choke which was connected through the instrument board bracket. This makes it much easier to operate and | improves the appearance. There has also been added to the | line two sport models, a Five Passenger Touring and a Se- I dan. The new Star special models provide for the first time jj distinctively high class sport cars at exceedingly moderate I prices. We have these new cars in stock. Call and let us sh6,w them to you. , J. C. BLUME Garage Vvhat is MenHr, Anyhow? Charity and Children. The national ampaign next year promises to be highly entertaining. The funniest figure on the horizon is Henry Ford, the tin lizzie wizard. The trouble with him just now is that neither he nor the country knows what he is poli tically. In the west he thinks he is n progressive and in the south a Demo crat ; he feels kindly toward the Repub licans in the north and east, and among the farmers—especially those remote from the great financial centers —lie Ls against* Wall street and the whole bloom ing bunch of money sharks. Henry wants to be President the worst in the world, and is studying the situation as hard as he knows how, to find outwhich is the safest way for him to jump. The curious part of the situation is he has a large following. Dr. Copeland, who has been travelling about the country, thinks if either party would nominate Henry he would be an easy winner. However,Dr. Copeland is a poor prophet and knows very litle of the temper of the country. This is shown by his own candidate for President, who is A’eohol Smith, the Governor of New V ork, w-ho eould not carry three states in the union- l.ut there is no denying the fact that Ford, if either of the p rtirs Could afford to nominate him. would make a swift run in the less iutelligen. portionsof the United States, and that, we are sorry to say. embraces a good deal of the territory of the country. The indications strongly point to a third party with Ford as an independent candidate- He would appeal to the cupidity of the South on the fertilizer issue, and while he would hardly carry a single Southern State, lie' would play the mischief with McAdoo, or whoever the regular Democratic nominee may be. Ford in our judgment, would do 1 far more damage to the Democrats than to the Republicans, though lie would throev a monkey wrench in the machinery of the Western Republican party' . The political outlook from the national standpoint is extremely diverting, and the year 1924 promises to provide amusement! of a high order. Hearst. at one time threatened to be somebody be fore lie collapsed, but Hearst was never a cireumstnare to Henry. Blackboard and Wardrobe.

Each places the blame on tile other, hut no one knows who was to blame. An Easy Thing. Winston-Sitiem Sentinel. In liis admirable address at the men’s meeting Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Y. M. A.. Dr. O. J. Chandler, of Asheville, presented very forcefully the danger of destructive criticism in any realm. He said that tearing down is the easiest thing in the world. It requires no great intelligence to criticize in a destructive way. Anybody can do that. ? Tin- man who simply criticizes, who tears down without putting something in the place of what is torn down,' is a man who is calculated to do much more harm than good. Dr. <’handler was not discounting criticism of a constructive type. He showed clearly that there is a place for that kind of criticism. What he was attacking was the atti tude of those who destroy but who do not build. .It would have boon tine if everybody in Winston-Salem Could have heard his brief, but forceful, discussion of this matter. There are some poplo who never seem so happy ns when tearing down, as whett Saying sharp things that leave a sting and yet leave no constructive idea behind them. The world has too mucli of that kind of thing. -s * ’ ,[ Let’s adopt something like this as a motto: r I am not going to be, under arty circumstances, a knocker; if something needs criticism at my hands, that criticism will always be of a helpful, constructive, fqrward-looking typo.
