Sc!al Methods of tho Chief Kcstcsa ol the Nation. -j; Mra. Wilson is usually at home, by appointment, to her intimate friends at 5 o'clock, when tea in served in the red room. These functions are Identi cal with those iu any private home and are informal. Once or tvico a week and sometimes more often Mrs. Wilson will issue cards for a smnii tea, at which she frequently has tha wivea or cabinet members to assist her. One of tho most rrraeious ncta nf Mrs. Wilson slnco she came into the White Rouso and one which has en deared her very much to the coterie of clever women who write the social news of tho capital was to Rive a spe cial nrtsrnoon reception in compliment to the newspaper women of Washing ton. The affair was most charming, and Mrs. Wilson and her daughters graciously gavo a few minute3 indi vidually to each of the women writers. There are threo cooks who prepare the meals for the nrosider.tinl f.nnilv and for small dinner parties. All three are women and are widely experienced. There-is a regular corps of laundresses and cleaners. Tho laundry and kitch ens are located in the basement of tho White House, far removed from the state and private apartments. There is also a "flower room," where th? cut flowers are kept. Those flow ers are supplied to the White House fresh every day. This is one of tho mo3i Interesting features of the his tory of the 'White House and its main tenance and has proved particularly sr. to Mrs. Wilson, whose gre::t lovo of nature, and particularly Cowers, is widely known.

Only thirteen of the twenty-one re publics . on the western hemisphere whltli form the Pan-American union have raised statues of their national hereon In the magnificent marble building at Washington devoted to ad vancing the Interests of pan-Americanism. In the msln hall of the building stand twenty-one marble pedestals. On ten of them are busts of chosen nation al heroes, while threo other Latin American countries have selected the EubjedK to be thus honored. George Washington is this country's contribution to the hall of American republics fame. Bolivar, who achieved tile independence of 'Jolombia, Peru and Bolivia, as well as Venezuela. Is the representative of the last named country. Monuments to him stand also la the capitals of Venezuela, Feru and Colombia. San Martin, father of the Argentina independence, is that country's hero. ' Brazil has the priest hero, Eonigacio; Mexico its two time president, Benito Juarez; Cuba", Marti; Honduras, Mo razan; Costa Hiea, Mora; Tanama, Her rera, and Haiti, Dessallnes.

J. 13-25 I ALFALFA Alfalfa should be grown on every farm. Make a beginning-start now. ALFALFA ENRICHES THE LAND Besides Producing Mora Abundant Harvests Alfalfa Adds Plant Food to the Soil for the Use of Other Crops. Alfalfa enriches the soil. The roots of the alfalfa plant penetrate 12 to 85 feet into the soil far beyond the reach of corn, wheat, oats and other shallow rooting plants. Ia this way potash, phosphorus and oth er elements of plant food are drawn up from below through the roots of the alfalfa plant and stored in the upper soil for the use of other crops. The experiment set forth in the ao companying chart was made in Can ada, where it was found that alfalfa Alfalfa Enriches the Land Wheat Alfalfa Sod Timothy Sod Barley Alfalfa Sod Timothy Sod Cora Alfalfa Sod b; a 24. 18. Timothy Sod sod yielded 61.5 bushels of wheat per acre, as compared with 42 bushels on timothy sod. Barley yielded 30 bushels per acre on alfalfa sod, and only 20 bushels on timothy sod. Canada is not a corn country, yet the experiments show similar results. Alfalfa sod yielded 24 bushels per acre of corn, as com pared with 18 bushels on timothy sod. This Is only one of many such experi ments which give the same results, proving alfalfa to be a soil enriching crop. ALFALFA MOST VALUABLE CROP. Per Acre Value Five Times More Than Clover Some Wisconsin Census Figures Which TalK for Themselves. According to the 1910 census of the hay crop, the state of Wisconsin grew 18,000 acres of alfalfa, which averaged 2.8 tons per acre for the entire state, and the average acre value of the crop was 31.00. During the same year the combined acreage of timothy and clover averaged 1.6 tons per acre, valued at $14.00. It costs no more to grow an acre of alfalfa than it does to grow an acre of timothy or clover. The average ccst of growing an acre of clover or timothy is approximately $10.00. Thus the farmer would clear $4.00 per acre in growing these crops, whereas if he grew alfalfa he would make a profit of $21.00 per acre, or Alfalfa Mo Valuable Forage Crop ' Wisconsin Hay Crop, 1910 Valaa Acreage Av.

The latest reports from Wisconsin show nearly 40,000 acres seeded to al falfa with an average of about four tons to the acre. ALFALFA RICH IN PROTEIM With 12.3 Per Cent, of Digestible Protein, Alfalfa Surpasses Even Wheat Sran In Feeding Value. Alfalfa has high feeding value, as shown by the chart below, taken from California Bui. No. 132. This is due to its digestibility and its composi tion. Alfaifa is rich in digestible pro tein which is the bone and muscle building element It is also rich in nl- ALFALFA RICH IN DIGESTIBLE PROTEIN ALFALFA 1122 ll tVHEAT BRAN OATS E2t9 9o CORN 73 as ft 18 'A CLOVER TIMOTHY CORN FODDER CORN SILAGE OAT STRAW WHEAT STRAWli trogen, the component of protein, but protein is the costly food element. It is absolutely necessary for the pro duction of milk and for young grow lag animals. Pigs will starve on corn alone. All animals must have frame building food as well as fat producing food, such as corn. Alfalfa with corn makes a perfectly, balanced ration, supplying the animal, with an abundance of bone, flesh and; cat zi in-ti material. The Commonwealth is $1 a year. Bu.

ALFALFA MOST PROFITABLE CROP Adds Fertility to the Son Yields Three to Four Crops of Hay Each Year In the Corn Belt EXCELS EVERY OTHER CROP The Introduction of Alfalfa as a Qen- eral Farm Crop In the United States Will Revolutionize Agriculture ' Means More Live Stock, Better 80II and Larger Returns From the Crops That Follow. By PROF. P. a HOLDEN, Director i Agricultural Extension Department International Harvester Co. of New I Jersey. Alfalfa Should be Grown on Every Farm 1. It Is a profitable crop. 2. Increases farm values. 3. Excels every other crop In yield per acre In feeding value As a drouth reslster As a soil enricher. 4 No harder to grow tfcandover. 5. Make a beginning start now grow some alfalfa. Repeated experiments made by the agricultural colleges, and the results obtained by the actual growers of al falfa in the semi-arid sections of the west, throughout the corn belt states, and in the south and east, are conclu sive evidence of the great value of alfalfa. There are few farmers whose profits would not be increased greatly by rais ing alfalfa. Every farmer should aim to produce, as far as possible, his foodstuffs upon his own farm. During the last few years, the area devoted to alfalfa has greatly in creased in the region west of the Mis souri river, and it Is certain that there will be an equally rapid in crease throughout the eastern and southern parts of the United States. Many of the attempts in the past to grow alfalfa in the humid regions have failed, but with our present knowledge of the requirements of the ! crop there will be little, If any, more J trouoie m securing a stand. ; Alfalfa will soon be grown abun dantly and profitably upon every farm. It is no more difficult to grow than clover and gives double the yield. The deep rooting habit of alfalfa enables it to resist drouth when clover, tim othy, blue grass and other forage grasses die for want of moisture. Al falfa roots grow deep into the soil far beyond the roots of other plants. Its drouth resisting power is of no greater importance than its great value as a soil enricher. The long roots bring phosphorus, potash and other plant foods from below and store them in the upper soil for the use of other plants. Experiments show greatly increased yields of other crops grown upon alfalfa sod. Alfalfa is rich in protein the most essential element in feed to make bone, blood and muscle in growing ani mals. Why We Need Alfalfa. There Is no combination of feeds eo economical for the production of beef, pork, mutton, butter and eggs, as corn and alfalfa. Neither will give tho best results alone. We need alfal fa "because it balances up the corn ration and saves the large waste of starch which always takes place where corn is fed alone. We need alfalfa because we can by means of it grow on our own farms the protein more profitably than we can buy it in feed stuffs. We need alfalfa because it feeds the soil and enables us to grow larger crops of corn and oats. We need alfalfa because it produces on an average double the feed value per acre of clover or any other forage crop. Advisable to Inoculate. In regions where alfalfa has not .been grown it is found to be neces sary to Inoculate the ground by sow ing three or four bags of soil secured from a 'field where alfalfa or sweet clover has been grown for a number of years; or where it is more convenient, artificial cul ture, such as "nltragin," farmc germ," etc., may be applied. Where alfaifa has not been grown before it may make the difference between suc cess and failure. Alfalfa Essentials. A well prepared, firm, solid seed bed, plenty of good barnyard manure, and fallow to kill the weeds, are most Important. Lime? Yes, one to two loads per acre, and by all means In oculate. Ground too wet for corn is not suited for alfalfa. Make a Beginning Start Now. ' Every farmer should try at least a small piece of alfalfa and if he does not succeed at first, try again and keep on trying until he does succeed. It is worth the while. If the work ia thoroughly done and at, 'the proper time, you will most cer tainly succeed in securing a good stand; if the work is half done and out of season, you will Just as car 'talnly fail. Make a beginning taS now. Read The Commonwealth. $1.00 EAST CAROLINA STORM SWEPT Great Loss of Property io New Berne, Washington aod Other Points. TWO PERSONS KILLED AT FARMVILIE. A storm of equinoctial suddenness and terrific fury broke on Eastern North Carolina Tuesday night ard raged through Wednesday with fearful results. The damage is un told. At Farmville the front end of the large tobacco warehouse was crush ed in and two boys, Walter Bynum, aged 16, and McKinley Walker, aged 12, of Durham, were instantly killed. Others were badly hurt. The storm was very severe in Tar boro and Edgecombe county. Tele phone lines were badly damaged and the young corn crop and the cotton crop suffered much. An estimate places Edgecombe's loss at over $250,000. Greenville suffered heavily. The brick building of the Daily Reflector was unroofed and the plant serious ly damaged. Train service cut off. Crops damaged one-third is the story from Pitt. Wilson and Wilson county suffer ed heavily, the loss probably reach ing half million. The estimated loss in Washington, N. C, and Beaufort county is over a million dollars. The- mile-long bridge of the Norfolk-Southern across Pamlico river is swept away. The town is practically put out of business temporarily. But few business houses escaped damage. All the bridges of the Coast Line around Washington are swept away. Nearly all the boats in the harbor were sunk. Belhaven is practically wiped off the map and Aurora considerably damaged. Fifteen houses swept away at Vandemere. The wind is said to have reached a velocity of GO miles an hour. The storm and flood at New Berne were the worst in the history of the town. The loss is estimated at half a million dollars. - The county bridge across the Neuse was swept awaj Many of the streets were flooded. The storm was not so severe at Beaufort and Morehead. It is feared that not a soul is left on the island of Ocracoke. There is a population of 400 or more. The high tide3 may have swept away hundreds on the low lying banks. Wilson Times. Later advices say that the people on Ocracoke island are safe. For New Nash Ccunly Road. It is reported that Batt'eboro and that section are greatly interested in the proposed new road in Nash county that will parallel the railroad and that will make Whi takers, Bat- tleboro and in fact the Halifax coun ty line several miies nearer from point of accessibility with a vc'iicie ihan is now the case. There hi.s been some little talk in the nearby town and there are many who are in hearty accord with the move and that desire an opportunity to con tribute when subscriptions are start ed. The project has been fostered by the local Cnamber of Uommerce and it now appears that !in the not far distant future we will see some work along this line. Rocky Mount Telegram.

A legislative investigating com-j mittee consisting of Representative ! ThorTras J. Gold, of High Point; W. J P. White, of Hobgood, and Senator ! Marsden Bellamy, of Wilmington, is ' now in our midst in quest of infor-: mation regarding the status of the North Carolina School for the Fee-' ble-Minded, which institution islo-j cated in Lenoir county near the limits of the city of Kinston. The committee will investigate condi tions and report back to the special session, making such recommenda tions as may seem to them advisable. We are sure that the committee will be pleased with the progress that has been made.- The State's money has been well and wisely spent. The buildings that have been erected are of the modern type and . indicate the thoughtfulness and carefulness displayed by Dr. Hardy, the superintendent, in laying the. basis for the great work to be done out there. And just at this time the commit tee will see some very fine crops in process of maturity on the institu tion's farm. These will again attest the superintendent's painstaking care and watchful oversight. The crops that will be to market include fine yields in corn, cotton, tobacco peanuts, hay, potatoes, etc. Of course hogs and cattle on the farm will consume a part of the produce and this, indirectly, make it more valuable. But the farm itself will yield a nice sum in return for the excellent attention given it. Not only are the trustees looking for the special session to give the institution a sufficient sum to enable it to go to work immediately, but the citizens of Kinston are expec'- ing the legislature to put theinsti-j tution on a solid, working basir. . The city has done its part in donat- ing the land for the site and the J State must now do its part by vigt r ously sustaining the institution or there will be a breach of iinplitd contract, of which the State should I not be guilty.
