Reciprocity—Farm Pro*

Rate--Cotton Seed Oil
Largely Exported
Cotton-Seed Oil, will enter Cana
da from the United States free of
duty ifnder the pending reciprocity
legislation, It is at present taxed
by Canada at the rate of 17)4 per
cent ad valorem The value ot >
Canada's concession of free cotton
seed Oil may be measured by the ■
fact that in the calendar year 1910 ;
we exported to Canada SI. 111 443 j
of cotton seed oil, cn which «he|
collected approximately $105,000111
duties. The concession is of inter- ;
, est to North Carolina since the
m aijuf icture of cotton seel oil, etc ,)
rauks among her leading half-dozen '
industries according to the Uu'te 11
States Census of Manufactures of
1905; which states North Carolina's
output of the oil at 6,269,06 2 gab j
lon-, valued at $1,600 950.
Frefh Vegetables and Friilif: re
made free by Canada under the
agreement when imported from the |
United States. Her. rate v upon !
potatoes has been twenty cents per!
bushel, and upon most other vege j
tables thirty per cent ad valorm.
Upon fresh fruits her general ra'.e
has been two cents per pound, ;p !
pies being taxed forty cents per i
barrel. During th; year ended)
March 31, 1910, the United States 1
shipped to panada fresh fruits audi
vegetables itmg

removal of all restrictive j j
Canada on thisc'.as of importation !
offers a large opportunity for North ;
Carolina's early potatoes and gar !
den or orchard produce No r rii|
Carolina produced $1,498000 ai
potatoes during the calendar yeai |
19-9 .
Ovsters in any stale will be ad '
mitted by of duty when
*fsom this country. Heretofore
canned oysters have been'" taxed"'
three cents per package when ii. 1
pint tins, and five cents per package j
, when 'in quart tin-; and these rate
have been well-nigh prohibitive j
North Carolina put up $177 000 ot I
canned ousters in 1905.
Peanuts are to enter Canada from j
the United Sta'es at one fourth of;
the pre cut duties of ull shelled or |
at one thiru of the present duties ff I
shelled Canada imported aoont
$85,0 *0 of unshelled peanuts from j
the United States in the year ended ;
March 31, 1910, and about $41,000
of shelled peanuts. She collected j
approximately $40,000 more in I
dutiqs on this characteristic North
Carolina product than if the pend
ing reciprocity had been iu force.
In place of two cents per pound, 1
and in place of three cents per;
pound ou shelled peanuts the will
levy but one cent per pound.
Farm wagons from the United
Slates will be admitted into Canada
at a reduction of tea per cent from
her former rate, which
was one-fourth of the value of the
wagon. During Canadian fiscal
year 1910 Canada purchased $218,-
000 worth of farm wagons from the
United States. North Carolina
might compete for a portion of this
business, inasmuch as her manu
factures of wagons and carriages in
1905 were valued at $2,304,000.

The Lost Day
When the list hour of youth is'
gone, with its opportunities for
preparation neglected and unira
proved there is nothing that can be
done to repair the hat in. Some
things God gives often. U'he sea
sons return again and again, and
the flowerschange with the months;
but yonth conies twice to none.
Thus each period of life has its own
closing, its last hour, in
work Is ended, whether well done
or neglected indeed, we may say
the same of each day: its end is the
closing of a definite season through
wnich we can never pass again.
We may think of each single day
as a miniature life. It comes to us
new; it gOe? k from us finished.
There are th/fee hundred akid sixty
five- in a year. The only way jff
have a well-fashioned year is to
finish the tasks and duties of each
day as it passes. A marred or lost
day anywhere along the years may
lead to loss or even sore misfortune
afterwards.—J. R; Miller.
You onght to be able to tell how
you lived yesterday by the way you
feel today.—Ex.
