For Farm-Life Schools.
Dr. Alexander, President of the
North Carolina Farmers’ Union, is
a strong advocate of the farm life
school, and is doing good work in
favor of the establishment of such
schools in every county of the State
' A\'e are glad to know that the great
organization which he represents is
behind him in this effort, and as a
result we may expect to see ten of
these schools established in North
Carolina, where the legislature has
provided for them- President Alex
ander declares that ignorance of the
farming classes is one of the great-
/ est curses of the commonwealth.
Ignorance of the farming classes
brings economic loss to all classes.
Anything that raises the intelligence
of the agricultural classes benefits
all classes. Speaking of this, Presi
dent Alexander says:
“Every man who has a clear and
correct conception of economic con
ditions as they are today, must
know that continued and increased
prosperity in all lines of^. industry
dependent on a more intelligent and
efficient agricultural and laboring
classes. Ignorance is the greatest
tax on our commonwealth. It is
an incubus that is clogging the
wheels of progress in all lines. And
unfortunately we find the largest
percentage of ignorance in the class
es that produce, primarily, 85 per
cent of the wealth of our country
and on which the prosperity of all
other classes must ultimately de
pend. Ignorance is a very unstable
foundation on which to attempt to
erect a great superstructure; and
yet that is just what the whole
business world is doing. There
fore, it is not surprising that the
wise business men are beginning to
realize that ignorance and ineffi
ciency of the producing classes
the prosperity of their business.—

The Carolina Union Farmer:
As I have seen nothing in our
valuable paper from our local I will
say just a few words. We have at
this time only 22 members, several
having united with other locals
nearer to them. We are trying to
do business through our County and
State Agents, but we find there are
no favors in store for the farmers
only as they compel recognition by
organization. The members of our
local all favor the suggestion made
by someone in the Carolina Union
Farmer that w,e should establish a
fertilizer factory for the manufact
ure of our own goods. If the sev
eral factories for the manufacture
of fertilizer in North Carolina are
realizing fair profits then it is evi
dent that we would save much hy
establishing a factory for making
our own fertilizer. A contribution
of two or three dollars each, from
every member of our organization
might make us more independent of
the fertilizer trust. Success to the
Carolina Union Farmer and the or
ganization it represents,
