Lrnoir Topic. A gratifying featu e of the far mers meeting in liio.r rriday was the presence of a number of.wiUbenf i-otne interest to our bright boys who are interested eople. Mr. Cibie, in his inter in In-coming good burners. The. view, forgot to stat- that one future prosetity of the country ; reason the violations of theli- leinils largely up'n the suT8S 01 meiurmers nn i it is piirount-, ,nf ""j???? mm becoming aroused on the qi.ention of improved agrieultur- i at methods. Am wig. the toy present was Enest Starne, u Catnwba County boy, who made Mich a fine shoeing on an a'-reiu orn last year that, we belike mention ol his success will ulate in ire of our Ca'dw.ll boys to make greater effort. Young Sturims is only 15 years of age and wan born in the southern part ol this county. His record last year was 164 2-7 bushels of corn onan acreof land, for which he won first prizes in three diff erent contest s, among them be ing a free trip to Washington City, a gold medal for largest yield of any boy in the State, 1 23.00 in cash, $15.09 in cash, and a registered Berkshire pig. Below we give theyoung man's story of how he accomplished this extraordinary yield: Dear Sir: If you remember I to!d you that I would writeyou about the ra sing of my com. Whi n 1 first In-came interested in the corn f lub it was iu 1900. 1 selected an acre and only raised 63 bushels. In 1910 I j lined the club and selected an acre that hud been in rye the year before. It was bottom Jand and is what we call black sandy loam It was not the best land we had but it was very good land. I put two two-horse loads of stable manure on it and dis ed it under with adisc harrow, f ben 1 put time loads ol manure and fiileeu loud of woods mulch or rather the riuh dirt that accu mulates in the woods. When this was done I plowed it with a two horse Oliver plow and broke it about tight inches deep: I then hanowed it with a drag harrow and a disc harrow and when I had dune-this I went over it with a draar or rather a scrub an we call it and smoothed it down lev el. Immediately after this I took a drill and drilled broadcast 400 pounds of commercial lime and 400 pounds of 16 per cent, acid phosphate. On the 30th of April I planted the corn (the varietj' being the White Majestic) with a double row corn planter puttiug 200 pounds Of 16 per cent, acid phos phate in the row and, running the rows about 42 inches apart I used the insilage plates and put six gallons of corn on the ucre. I did this because the bud worms were bud in that part of the land. I went over the acre about ev ry tea days or a week with a weeder until' he corn was too high. Then i plowed the corn for the first time it being about knee high I plow el it again in five days then thinned it out to one stalk about every 12 inches and then the freshet came and I did not get to work it for 28 day.

Chronicle: Mr. Cuhe'd. comaiisMoner of lu-t-rnal Revenue, recently gave out the followiiigi'ierview which ij0r laws continue to such an extent is been u His ueparuieiu encourages violations of the law in prohibition and local option territory by issuing government license to anybody win wants to violate the state laws. But here jig what he says: "This is the biggest moonshine iywir with our office," said Mr. stun-,C.ibelf "We are breaking u more illicit distilleries in Virgin ia, North Carolina, South Caroli na, Georgia and Alabama thau in any year previous." "Wht is the explanation of this?" was asked. "There are several explana tions," said Mr. Caliell. "Public sentiment, which has undergone a decided change for the better, is helping us more thau nnyt'mg else. It is easier for our agents to catch and cony irt law breakers If we have evidence against a man it is not a difficult matter to get a verdict apamst him. The people are realizing what a me nace these fellows are to society. 'Iu some state moonshiners seem to be multiplying, E istern North Carolina is making more liquor than at any previous time. The price of moonshine whiskey is higher than ever, I am told, and this encourages the manu facturers to take risks that they would not take ordinarily. "Revenue officers broke up twenty-odd stills in Franklin count-, Va., recently. We call this the banner county of t h e Old Diminion. "But you may say this, that we are going after the offenders with the determination to win," declared Mr. Cabell "I am mass ing our men in that region, and I believe we will destroy 2,000 distilleries this year. "How many registered distille rie-t in the country? "Less than 500, scattered throughout the country. "We will put three times as many men in the Bellas we have hud heretofore."

Blackburn. and washed down more than half of it and washed some of the top soil away. I had to go in it and pineh the hearts out of more than half of it. After this delay of 28 days the corn looked yellow and seemed very discouraging to me. But I kept in good hope and put 200 lbs. of 16 per cent acid and three loads of manure on it for top dressing. 1 th-n plowed it under with a cultivator thn ttme ma king the third time. I plowed it every fire days uutil I had plow ed it six times and the last time that I plowed it I sowed crimson clover in it. The corn was in tas sels and the silks were dying on the ears when this was done and I would stress the late cultivati on for I think that it was what led me to my success. Yours respectfully, W. Earnest Starner, Hickory, N. C. FOLEYS ORINOUXAUVE l bs Good Road Boads. roa-luru . 1 has b -ea deui 'ist rated in a business way by progressive com muni ties in North Carolimi that , bond issues are th most desira ble and the iumt just, and v ! notuit-a means of procuring inoii-1 -y to build roads. j What dues a progressive firni-' er care fur a lew cents, or even a ' tew dollars, more iu taxes, it by 1 paying it he cao make two trips j to n trket in a day where he now I makes one, and carry double the tonnage at each load, with great er ease? Tais is not a theo-y. It has beeu given a practical test in Guilford and ot her counties. Guil lord was the flist county to vote bonds for roads and a large issue -$300,000 -wts made. That amount has been expended, and the result is 100 miles of finely graded and macadamized roads. Th'! wealth of the countv has in creased from 13,061,428.65 in 1900, to S,600,000 in 1910. This is real and personal proper ty. The population of the coun ty in 1900 was 36.074, and in 1910 it had increased to 50,759, the jer centage whiletheaverage for the State for the same period wasoulylS. The taxable val ues of proptrty in Guilford in 1900 were $9,070,000, while in 1910 they had increased to22, 778,520. The opponents ol road bonds will ar;ue that pay-down iseom ing iu the luture. True, we an swer; but look at the wealth that is being piled up to meet it, and the permanent improvements, which the debt was ra ide to pro vide, will still be hre as a source of profit nnd pleasure to those who are to come after us. Our people all believe in good roads, but are afraid oi the cost. Good roads will change the val ue of land, and t.ave thousands of dollars wasted in tea ns. ve hicles and harness, make the marketing of all farm produce easier and quicker, and generilly make every one more prosper ous. The be.-t argument for bonds is the fact that ia t h o s e counties where bonds have been issued for road improvement the satisfaction is general, and no one would even think now of giving up their good roads. The cost? It is insignificant compar ed with the value received. This testimony is from a coun ty that has issued bonds lor road work and has a pructical demonstration of the work. In Iredell it is not proposed to in crease taxes, but to float $400,- 000 bond issue with the road tax we are now paying, and in addi tion, from tiiat sara tax, create a sinking luud that w ill pay off the bonds us we go along. As is pointed out above, the increase 01 wealth and p ipu'ation is a natural result of building good roads, aud the iucica-e of veullh ol course iutreases the capacity to pay. Warning to railroad Men. Look out for severe and even dan gerous kidney and bladder troubles resulting from years of railroading. Geo. E. Bell, 639 Third St., Fort Wayne. Ind., was many years aeon ductor on the Nickel Plate. lie sas: Twenty years of railroading left my kidneys in a terrible condition.

I.at fall Mr. Jacob Robinson, who owned a tine farm near Flor ence, in this county, and who says he was doinz we'd, Bold his faun, stock, household goods, etc., and emigrated to to the State of ashington, to get rich quirk in those widely advertised aud much boosted farming lauds in that section. He located at ItellingliHm, on the west side of the state, bought some tip-land with timber on it because it was cheaper than the valley land, and proceeded to in ike a home. It cost him 1150.00 an acre to clear the land. Shortly after his arrival he found that he was iu for it and began his preparations to leave. The residents there told him he was leaving too soon, to stay and unload on some east erner, who would, in time, come aud buy. Mr. Robinson knew of a number who ha I been wait ing for a long tiniL to catch a sucker and were impoverished by the wait, concluded he would Ret out while he had some money left. So last week they arrived here and Mr. Robinson is looking for a farm. He say, that he knew w hen he had enough. He says it is a first rate country to go for one's health, but to go there and live as a farmer it would suee folly. Fruit grows in abun dance but it is speaked with a seal und unfit for market. He lur ther says it does not pay torow timothy hay that brings $12 a ton on $300 an acre land. The pi ice of eggs there is high, but the hens don't lay. Mr. Robinson s experience cost he says, about $2,000 aud he is back in old Rutherford to m ike back what he lost to the laud sharks of the glorious state of Washington. This exp Mience is a tru- one and should give an impetus to (he "Rack Home" movement now working in theSouth.

We have in mind a couu ty in North Carolina where twen ty years ago the disgraceful habit of vote buying was prac ticed in almost every township. The best people said they were going to put a stop to it, The The leading men of the county decided they would make vote- buying so disgraceful that no de cent man would stand lor it. A persistent campaign was made against the practice from year's end to vear's end. Todav there is not a vote for sale in the county. Few votes would be sold were it not that men of superior intelli genc encourage the ignorant and vicious to sell their great privi lege of suffrage. Has Millions Of Friends.
