Seed Irish potatoes secured from
ornu;Pre n t ip mnnnta lis nf Western
North Carolina demonstrated their
superiority over those, from. Canadian
and Mainesources in a test recently
concluded ' by County Agent G. W.
Falls of Pasquotank county. Mr.
Falls put out, a demonstration with
M. B. Sample of this county early in
the spring in an effort to find out
whether the North Carolina grown
seed, would, do as. well as the northern
grown seed.
Mr. Sample reported thrft the yield
on the three plots was practically the
same, being at the rate 0f 209 bushels
of marketable potatoes per acre. The
seed from Western Carolina, how
ever, produced the earlier plants and
yielded a few more No, 2 stock than
the others. , The Canadian stock
showed a tendency to be later but
were well fruited. Since earl'iness is
an important matter in getting' best
trices for new potatoes, it would seem
from Mr. Sample's results that the
home grown seed had an advantage
over the northcrnl'gtown.
According to Director B. W. Kil
gore of . the . Extension Service this
test is, in. line with similar results
secured by the specialists of the col
lege and department of agriculture.
There is now no need for North Car
olina farmers to buy their seed stock
from Maine , or any -other northern
point because, now that seed inspec
tion' work has been put on in the
mountains and tests show that -healthy
seed from this source is better than
imported seed, eastern farmers may
look to the western growers for their
seed to the . mutual advantage of
both.
Such tests as this will help on the
seed potato industry here .at home
The Federation' is now arranging for
the marketing, of seed grown under
the Potato Sales Agreement by farm
ers of Buncombe and Henderson
counties. Another year or .so should
see us; doing a .flourishing business
along. 'this tine, as we have a large
market near at hand in the great
potato grcwiiv sections .of North and
South Carolina. -Farmers Federation

Telephoning Europe.
Using the' telephone to call up a
friend in Europe is one of the prom
ised( developments of a combination
of radio and telephone. It was as
recently as July; 1914, that the first
transcontinental telephone conversa
tion took -place between officials of
two telephone companies speaking
respectively from New York and San
Francisco "
To engineers 'interested in tele
phone tnd radio development the
mechanical problem is merely one of
working out details. They say the
chief, obstacle in the way of practi-
cal intercontinental use of the tele
phone in business is the five-hour
difference in time. But. that, .from
the standpoint of business men or
other persons to be accommodated,
is just another matter of adjusted
details. . Any message important
enough to be telephoned across the
Atlantic -will probably be important
enough to lose a little ileep over un
grudgingly. Hudson (Mass.) Sun.

Fstbraticn Seiub Dividend
Checks To Stockholders
flie clerical force of the Fanners
Federation was kept quife busy 'for ;i
large part of the last month in send- 1
ing dividend checks and statements to
stockholders of the Federation. The
task' was practically completed on the
closing of the week on the 26th. '
An idea of, the size of the task may
be had when it is recalled that there
are about 1,200 stockholders. Two
hundred of these are preferred stock
holders. AJetter; statement and check
went to these first., then followed
those to the farmers who hold paid up
common stock. In addition to the 6
per cent dividend check to holders of
common stock went "business divi
dend." statements representing 5 per
cent on the business they did vvith
the Federation during the past year.
Preceding the 6 per cent dividend
checks to the holders of paid up com
mon stock was -a self-addressed postal
card asking if the stockholder would
not be willing to have his "business
dividend" applied to a new share of
stock. That the farmers are strong in
Federation faith is evidenced by the
fact that several cardsVave been re
turned, asking that the "business div-,
idefids" be applied as payment on u
new share of stock, thereby giving the
Federation bigger working capital
and greater purchasing powers-Farmers

Farmers Notice.
Those farmers who are expecting
to buy their -farm seeds and Irish
potatoes at the Farmers' Federation
warehouse should write 'or see Mr.
T. A. Porter at once and tell him just
what you will want him to get for
you. It would De poor ousiness ior
him to buy perishable products with
no assurance that they can be sold.
About one out of ten filled out and
sent in the questionnaire that I
mailed out late last year. About half
of those were not signed. So do not
depend on me to get seed.s for you
unless you give me further instruc
