"Signed, CAMERON MORRISON, "Governor of North Carolina." The burial hour was set for 3 o'clock Friday afternoon after the foregoing proclamation was issued by Gov. Morrison. COTTONSEED MEAL. Cheapens Feed for Work Stock- How to Feed. If the work animals can be made to eat it, cottonseed meal will cheapen the ratiou for work stock and will add protein to the ration, reports Earl Hostetler, who has made some interesting experiments with this material on the work animals belonging to three of the branch station farms of the State College and Depart ment of Agriculture. Mr. liostet ler says that the feeding value of this material to w irk animals has long been a question in the minds of farmers, but now the station has tried it out for six years and finds that there is 110 harm in its use as a feedstuff. He says, "Some of tho animals under our tests relished as much as 1£ pounds each day with their other grain, but others refused to eat even as much as one-halt pound daily. It is worth while to note that none of the animals fed the cottons'?ed meal seemed to suffer any bad results from tbe ration and several of those under teat were kept in the experiaient [ for the entire period. "The greatest advantage and about the only one in using the meal is that it cheapens the ration slightly and this will always be true in North Carolina on account of the good home supply. Both mares end mules were used in the test and in all cases the mares relished the . ration much more than the mules."

Raleigh, Aug. 6.—Twenty-one departments of exhibits for the North Carolina State Fair in Oc tober are outlined in the 150 page premium listand handbook, which has just been issued. Thirty thousand dollars are offered in premiums, and months of careful study under the gen eral direction of Mrs. Edith Van derbilt, the enterprising president, has been given to arranging the prizes so that the exhibits . wilt truly represent North Carolina. General ManairerE. V. Walborn states that every effort has been rnado to arrange the fair this year so that it will show North Caro lina as she »s. Diversified farming comes in for a lot of attention, and mors money is offered in the livestock deposl ment than for any other. Eleven thousand dollars in money is offered in this one department alone. This does not iaclude aaaro than six thousand dollars offered for the races, which will be a fea ture of this fair as it has been of the sixty-one that preoeded it. While livestock exhibits will be emphasized, some five thousand dollars in premiums are also offered in the agricultural depart ment. General Manager Wal born expects the ten prizes offered for the best county exhibits to bring about some lively competi tion. The first prize ts five hun dred dollars while the seeodd is for four hundred dollars. Equally attractive prizes are offered for individual exhibits. Vegetables and/ fruits, dairy products and poultry, will have a place in premium row. And flowers, too. The kitchen hasn't been forgotten, and there are some attractive culinary prizes. Been and honey also appear on the list. Ito4feie cooking aud home furnishings are other departments in which prizes ot good money iu addition to blue and red ribbons will be given. The arts haveu't b;en forgotteu uor the fact that Nor'h Carolina produces minerals. Throe thousand pounds of lime stone with soybeans turned under made 4,M0 pounds of red clover liny per acre; soybeans cut off re duced the yield to 4,288 pounds; no lime but soybeans turned under produced 1,680 pounds, and no lime and with the soybeans cut off reduced the yield to 872 pounds.

CAROLINA CO-OPS MAKE BIG GAINS. Increased Deliveries, High Advances and Record Meetings Mark Second Year. Enthusiasm for cooperative marketing leached a now high level among tobacco farmers throughout Soath Carolina last week when deliveries tb the co operative markets increased at almost every point and thousands of organized growers left their urgent harvesting to attend tfie great mass-meetings and barbe cues at which a United States Senator, a Congressman, a State Senator from North Carolina and a College president urged the membors of the tobacco aud cot ton cooperatives to coutinue stead fast in their successful market ing through their own associa tions. United States Seuator N. 11. Dial at the meetings of tobacco farmers from Florence, Darling ton and Dillon connties urged his hearers to see to it that the prices of their cotton and tobacco are not fixed by a British monopoly. Congressman J. J. McSwain de clared, "This is a fight in peace time by the farmers for their lib erty and the welfare of their chil dren aud grandchildren. Zeal akiu to missiouary fervor stirs our farmers today but we must have the endurance to tight for' the live years of the contract. On hia deathbed the man who has fought this good fight can leave his children the great legacy of economic freedom." Senator J. A.

Re proaching his hearers for their short memories, Senator Brown asked the farmers,to compare the lie tobacco of 1921 with the 17c tabeeoo of 1922, and pointed to cooperative marketing as the rea son for the inareaaed prices. which have brought prosperity book to this section. President 11. N. Snyder, of WoiTord College, South Carolina declared, "Under the old system the cards have been stacked against the individual grower. It seems to me 1 would join any thing which would save me from tba humiliation of having some .body else always tell me what I ■oust do." Stating that the farm ers have become the most dissatis fied class of people in America, President Snyder described the contract of the tobacco and cotton associations as a new declaration of independence by the farmers of South Carolina. At a meeting of tbe delegates from Florence, Marion, Dillon, lHarry, Marlboro, and other tobac co production counties represent ing Discriot No. 21 they declared in a resolution that, "We believe if tbe associctlon is a good thing for the landlord it is also a good thing for the tenant and that uny member wishing to divide his crop is only aiding aud abetting the enemy to our cause, and that every member should be accorded the name treatment aud required to deliver every pound of tobacco grown for or by him directly or indirectly. "Therefore we call upon every good citizen and loyal member not only to deliver all of his to bacco grown for or by him, di rectly or indirectly, but also to aid the officers and employees of tbe association to enforce to the letter tbe delivery of every pound of tobacco that is justly ours." Among the high average ad vances paid by the association for early tobaoeo last week were those of J. B.

NO. 27 Fatal Indorsement ot American Protective Tariff League. One incident m onnectioir with the recent Senatorial election in Minnesota illustrates the failure - of the ancient Republican argu- j ments in'behalf of the tariff and shows the difficulty of dpop'viug the farmer regarding the effect of "proteetion ' uu his budget. The American Protective Tariff League applauded the nomination of Governor Preus as the Repub- i. lican Senatorial cai lidaie and tbrough its organ, the Anerican Economist, commended him to the I good wishes and suffrage of all true stand patters. The American Economist pub lished an editorial declaring that the best way to contribute toward fair prices for grain and other farm products w as to "elect Gov ernor Preus to the United Mates Senate." The editorial pronounc ed Governor Preus "probably the I most popular man in public life In Minnesota," and reminded its readers that li« was the nominee of the Kepi.' lican party, "ihe only party Uiat lias ever legist, led •'$ in favor of lair prices foi wheat * * aud other farm products." It looked like good itepu c n propaganda, this "ho'wt" xrom the organization that represei s ! the Special Interests for whu ■ie i'ord ney-McCu tuber lato wa.- enacted. Uut it didn't impress even v-lovernor Preus. He uia avowed the Republican master piece of tariff legislation, blamed it for much of the distress among farmers, aud said he Lad "lear, ed that a low tariff is better for the people of the Northwest." It didu't mislead the voters of Minnesota, either. They rejected Governor Preus, even after he hail disowned his party's tariff. In stead they gave their votes and the office of Senator to a man who repudiated the national adminis tration and all its works, includ ing the Fordney-McCuinber law. 666 I # , is a Prescription for Colds, Fever and LaGrippe.
