Vance County: Tlie County Agent reports that farmers are turning from tobacco to food crops, cows and bogs. One farmer is sowing 20 acres of bis bright tobacco land to grasses as pastur age for bogs and cows. The County Agent spent two days at Raleigh during the week getting instructions concerning inoculation of hogs for cholera. During the week he held two meetings in the interest of' hog cholera control. He alao held a meeting to arouse interest in the Creamery being established at the A. & M. College, West Raleigh, N. C. Anson County: The Agent re ports tbe pruning of two orchards and the spraying of one orchard in co operation with Mr. Szymoniak, of the Department of Agriculture. He reports the building of some nice new homes in the section of the county where farmers raise their home supplies. Many farm ers are beginning to be interested in tbe growing of gjazing crops for hogs. Mecklenburg County: Up to date five clover seed harvesters have been madq in the county. The Agent is now active in working up cream routes. He had with him Mr. Arey, of the Dairy Division, part of the week. One demonstra tion in the use of the separator was given at each; of two meetings held wifli an attendance of 125. Forsyth Cqunt.v: Of 28 De monstrator# visited duriug the week, 19 of tbetn have crops for grszing or soiling. Numbers of farmers afo'j turning for the to the making of natures purpose of getting more live stock. Iredell County: A good demon stration of home convenience in the county is that of the home of Mr. T. B. Swan who has installed waterworks with a hydraulic ram that cost only $7.00. This force the water obout 200 yards where an ordinary barrel furnishes suffi cent storage for immediate pur poses. Haywood County: The Agent reports as follows: Mr. J. L. Welch lias 6,000 apple trees which are kept sprayed. Mr. E. W. Mondy has a spendid demonstra tion of redisking of land for the making of a good seed bed. Mr. R. L. Penlund did good work in harrowing before bis corn came up. As a result he will not need to hoe his corn. Mr. J. E. Hen derson is draining and bringing into use 20 acres of rictisoil. Mr. Edward Harbiu has proposed the holding of monthly meetings of farmers to discuss field work: This will probably be done if the or ganization is perfected. Union County: The Agent writes as follows on conditions there: We are emphasizing the importance of grasses and live stock to every farmer. During the week two communities have asked to have dairy bulls procured for them. Three separators have been purchased during the week. In fact, the whole county is get ting the dairy spirit. We em phasize the importance of co-i operative production as an aid to co operative marketing. We met one of our old demonstrators this week, who in the course of con versation remarked as follows: "When you first came to see me I was in debt and was having a pret ty hard time, but now I am selling corn, oats, porlrand cowa. I am out of debt and' have been able to hold my cotton since last fall, until a few days ago when I sold it for 10c a pound. I wish you well. If you say for me to sow grasses, Licensed? Got your friends to ask an agent who tries to sell them insurance, stock, or other securities if his company is licensed bv the State. If the agent says it is not, your pitiple may be sure that it was not worthy of being licensed. Have your license on display, and ex plain bow the li^snse law is design ed to protect the people. prepare pasture and keep more live slock, I will do tliat, loo." Such remarks show the value of good suggestions ko a farmer who is willing to liaten. The Agent write* further aa follows: It is difficult to find ? farmer who has no section harrow on his farm. When the work was first started, I could find only one harrow in the country. Hoke County: In one section of the county a severe rain storm, with hail, completely demolished the young crop of cotton. Most of the farmers were without seed for replanting. The Agont im mediately went through another section of the county and collected from other farmers three hundred bushels which were given free and shipped to Kaeford, the railroad people hauling them free of charge to Rockfish. The Agent went to the latter place and spent two days in distriputing this seed. Now the farmers are happy again and going ahead with their work, j Sampson County: One of the banks in the county hks made a | proposition to the farmers to fur nish $15,000 for the purpose of I purchasing thoreughored dairy cattle. This is more good co-opera tion and of the kind.thatis, indeed, very scarce iu the south. Such a thing as a bank furnishing money to farmers to purchase live stock with has not been known in many instances in this section of the country. It means that bankers are finding what is really good for the building up of the country, and also that farmers are reliable when treated in such a nice way. Of course, ^.he County Agent is hot going to (et them spend much jnojjAv for additional live^ stock, until he first gets them to make some pastures <rr grow some crops to feed tliera.im. This is where prooer advice comes in well. Warren County: As a result of sending the little clover seed bar i venter model into the county for a few days, the Agent writes that in one community five farmers were making such a machine. During! the five years work in the county, the Agent has increased the clover acreage probably a thousand per cent. With these machines to save seed this year, farmers will not only plant still more clover this fall, but will have seed to sell to ! their less fortunate neighbors. | Beaufort County: We have just built two new dipping vaU. At I one of them we dipped 25 cattle and 60 hops one day, and at the other we dipped 38 cattle and 4$ hogs. These were demonstrations for the benefit of the neighbors. The farmers who own these vats have offered the use of them free to other farmers in their respective communities. Still more co opera tion and good neighborliness. Urge Pushing Sale ol Home Products. Baleigh, N. C.,?The Division of markets of the North Carolina Experiment station and the De partment <of Agriculture is cam paigning id North Carolina now to encourage the formation of organ izations to push the sale of North Carolina products. YV. R. Camp of the Division had been spending some time in the eastern partfftf the fbtate working with the farmers in that section. In Beauford he worked among the truckers who are seeking to form co-operative organization aided and encouraged by the banking in terests. In Hyde county a meeting was held in which a committee was ap pointed to form an incorporated association known as the Hyde County Grain Association. The market facilities of the countyyare at the present time very popr for this grain and the farmers and the business men are eager to organize to further the interests of the cbrn growers of Hvde. tfaeoevcr You Need a General Tmte Take Grove's .

C., 5-29, 1915. ?Elon College on May 25 round ed out its 25th., year. The entire commencement was marked by dignity and aimplicity. Every exercise was of a high order. The baccalaureate sermon by Dr. F. O. Coffin was a noble utterance. Hia theme wa?: Dignifying the Common Ta^k. His discourse produced a fine impression. President Fairfax Harrison of the Southern Kailway, upon whom the college conferred the LL. D. degree, was a most happy speaker in his delivery of the literary ad drees. President Harrison is one of the south's biggest men. He is a captain of industry, but he re gards the south's noblest asset as her sons and daughters. He exalted manhood in his discourse and pleaded for real education as against the wild clamor for voca tional training. The unexpected ness of bis position on this matter gave his utterances all the greater weight and vivacity. The year just closed was marked by the largest enrollment yet at tained, more than 400 having been in attendance. The board of trus tees-decided that for the future the enrollment should be limited to 400. They believe the college of the size is able to render a de finite contribution to character de yelument not possible under other conditions. Their attention for the next few years, if not per manently, will be directed to the making of Elon an ideal .small college for just 400 students. The president and faculty are in thorough sympathy with this policy. Base Ball lor Union, N. G. Union expects this season to have one~of (lie best ball teams it has ever had, especially, along the battery line, which will eonsiat of Tayloe J., Nicholson and Powell, the later who did the twirling for Randolph Macon the past season winning fifteen straight games losing one and tieing one, unless it was in nineteen hundred and six when T.
