Friday, July 7, 1911 AH 1 SOIL TEST. The Wtjiitnlilt Enterprise tells of Haywood county man tw setit samples of the soil from different part of hu farm to the agricultural department, where it was subjected to chemical analysis, and as a remit of the advice furnished him by the department as to the nature of the dirt and what It needed for various troy, on land where he had previ ously rained 2ft bushels of corn to the acre be Ian year raised 1i hoshelx and has proapect of 1 bushel this year. Thai demonstrate." says our Waynesvllle contemporary, "the con tention made hy the enterprise that we should have a practical and easv way for every farmer to get his soil analyzed. "Aa a' matter of fact western North Carolina Is composed of a greater 'variety of geologicat formations than any other section on the continent except It he some contorted section In the Rocky mountains. Every town ship contains different wtl problems Practically every farm Is a separate study. Consequently we are not able to profit by Mr. Smith's or Mr. Jon' Newspaper article telling what he did to raise "i bushel of corn to tne acre. The S barrets of lime, etc.. which be used might ruin bis neieh tn,fm land if the latter should try th same formula. We need and we mvst have machinery which will en - Me oi.r people to take advantage of the knowledge which is being jralned by the government depart ments. Commissioner Graham has Inform ed the editor nf the Enterprise that the State department In co-operation with the United Ktates department is having a soil survey of the State pre pared, hut It is slow work as only three or four counties can he covered In s year. A portion of Haywood county was surveyed In connection (with the Aahevllle or Buncombe sheet, and one can get a copy of thin map hy application to the Soil Sur vey Division, U. 8. Department of .Agriculture. Washington, T.- C. This depatrment has now In press a bul letin relating to the composition of tba mountain soils. "I hope It will be ready for distribution In a week," sa says. "It is impossible for the department to make an analysis of the soils on every farm In a county; tba different characters are mention ed In the bulletin and then the indi vidual, by actual test, must assist the force of the department In ascertain Ins; what the fields on his farm may retire to be made most productive. The department will gladly al ou In any way it can, and don't hesitate ,to call upon us." The Enterprise Is not satisfied with this, but Is figuring out the eost of putting In a local department, the paper to hear the expense. It wishes ''to provide means whereby an ex pert opinion relative to bin soil may bo procured by every farmer , who Will bring a specimen to W'aynes vllle; this we , will do, sooner or Inter." rt says. THE MT.IT17H IKHOXaTR.TIOX WORK. Realizing that the leading function of the State department of agricul ture Is not It police work but that of producing agricultural wealth among the farmers of the 8 tats the department Is establishing in each county a number of local experi mental farms, one on each public road leading Into the county seat on which simple but vital experiment re conducted In plain view of every passerby. Tills local experimental work is planned with a view to arous ing Interest on the part of the farmer In the study of his own local condi tions of crop production. In this way they hope to aid the farmers In each MX MOWtfc Tw1t- MamOm county to Increase their crop yield and thus enable the but to grow at home the million of dollar worth of food supplies which are now annual. Jy shipped Into the Mat from out '!de sources. "From now on," says a note from the fluvartment, "we shall desire it, reach the farmer of your county thrmiKh your papr and will offer you from time to time, for publication, short ertliles on our work as It pro '' ' 'a Vur county and on othe, i i iil'uml smI rtn of ltilert tt V"r -. rit.. r Tlie ., nl expert 1 ' f i t,..j uri .(-. -n of an Items of expense; the farmer receiving, of course.' all the return from the crops grown.

It is a Macadam roadway. A hard pavement, no matter of wha: -obstruction, will be aotsy. They lay ortefc now so it is not as noisy as laid the old way, but a hone shoe in rio !ent and repeated contact with a brick ill be audible as long as there are ears to hear. It wilt also be hot. a fact that will have emphatic evidence in seasons like the present. It is a pity they cannot have a Macadam anJ of! combination that will retain the good features of the Macadam and do away with the miserable dust which ! costly erosion. Concord h experimenting along this line, with excellent result. About eight week igi a much traveled stretch of street, two blocks, was rprink:ed with a fe cial preparation of erode oit The rtreet is now dustless and odor! cur. The national bureau of chemistry has decided after repeated experi ments with the many preservatives of meat, frails, vegetables, and tht ike that borax, sulphur, saltpetre and I'.um have a more or leas harmful effect upon the liver, stomach, kid neys and heart. The pure food law prohibits the use of these chemicals in foods put up for market, and the housewife who uses any of them is taking unwarranted ritks with the health of the members of her farai!. Tb? law permits the use of the follow ing preservative only: salt, vinegar, wine, wood smoke, sugar, spices and heir essential oils, and alcohol, ex cept In confectionery. Charlotte people celebrated the his toric Fourth and made history at the ame time by Voting their big bond ssues, rmO.00 for water. $1S.0 for sewerage.

The Inac tion of the geological survey Is held responsible for the loss of U14 greater part of the appropriation.

WHAT THE BAR ASSOCIATION rAVORS. r According to an explanation made by Charles W. Tiilett It I not abolish ment of ths rotation system that has been endorsed by ths North Carolina rtar association, but a modification of that system. The association." he says, "wss pnt on record as advocat Ing a change so as to divide the State Into two large circuits and provide for ten judges In each circuit and then have a provision that the Judges rotate only In their own circuits ex- ept by consent or possibly by direc tion of the governor for exchange of uurts. And this can be endorsed as step Is the right direction. It would be a considerable easement of the Inconvenience and unnecessary syi tern so long In vogue in this State. Clurlotts f.hroniclc.

A negro who was place under arrest at Greenville. 8. C, yes terday as a suspect has been released. the authoratie being satisfied that he Is not the man wanted. Sergeant McDowell and Patrolman Leveret t, who went to Spartanburg in an effort to pick up a clue there, went on to Greenville last evening, return Ing to Ashevllle this afternoon at o clock. The officers say that they failed absolutely to find any trace of the negro at Greenville or that sec tion. They ny that the officers of Greenrflle are working bard on the case and lending every assistance pos sible to the Ashevfllc- authorities. Foaad Grip Left by Xegro. Patrolman Fred Jones and Frank Condor returned front Hendersonvllle, Greenville, Spartanburg and Pied mont last night. They had track ol tbe negro but lost the trail not far from Greenville. Patrolman Jones said that they found where the ne gro was In Hendersonville Tuesday morning and left a grip which, when opened, wss found to contain certain articles of clothing and a razor be longing to a man named Haydock of the liuena Vista section. The grip also contained a small notebook with Haydock's name written In if. The negro Huff stole tbe articles from Haydock's bouse while making hi escape Monday afternoon. The offi cers followed the negro's trail towar Greenville, Inquiring along the route about the man. Tbe last heard of Huff was at a quarry not many mile from Greenvllie. There they learned that a negro answering Huffs de scription had applied for work. He was tendered work but said that first he must have something to eat. Food was refused him until he had worked some, whereupon the negro refused the job and moved. That was the last trace the officers had of the ne gro. The officers learned that near Piedmont resided a negro who. was stated, reared John Huff. They visited the place but the man said that the John Huff he had reared was dead; that the only John Huff he knew -of living had been raised by negro' Is Spartanburg. The officers went to Spartanburg, found the man they were looking for. who told them that the living John Huff was reared by the man they had left near Green villa. They started back toward Greet ville but learning that Sergeant McDowell and Patrolman Leverett were gone In that direction, came back to Ashevllle. Mill Hopeful. The authorities are leaving no stone unturned to apprehend Huff. The au thorltles In all tnwt and cities within a radius of to miles of Ashevllle have been notified and furnished with a good description of the negro. The officers here, while having met with discouragement thus far, are , still hopeful and believe that sooner or later Huff will be landed behind the bars..

Changes were flight at the opening of the stock market: the list being irregular, with iownward tendency. The market shook off its hesitancy, xdvancng to slightly above yester Jays closing. Fluctuations in repre sentative stocks were largely unim portant. Home anactive specialties moved widely. Trading was st a low point during the morning. Narrow movements re fected lack of speculative interest In the absence of new Influences to sup ply incentive for operations. Traders were unwilling to engage in extensive ventures pending ( publication of tbe government crop, report Monday. Following the rally In the first hour, Mocks eased off slightly, largely as the result of tbe strong tone of the grain narkets. .
