The manufacturers bare an unusually large surplus on hand, and the
cigarette business has possibly reached the limit, and this is where a
large part of the bright tobacco goes.
Under these conditions, another large crop would certainly bring
about very disastrous prices. The only remedy is a decided reduction,
and tftia reduction wuuld be a' threefold benefit] ? ? -
1. Tobacco would bring more. money (supply and demand controlling
prices), less fertilizer and labor would be used, thus the crop would be
produced cheaper.
2. There would be every chance to make good to fine tobacco by a
smaller crop being better worked ?nd taken care of.
3. Most Important Is to give the farmers more time to raise home
products, and thus not be so dependent on the outcome of their tobacco.
Foreign countries, such as Europe, Asia and Africa, are exerting
every effort to raise tobacco, which takes the place of American-grown to
bacco.
Great Britain has SO cents per pound less duty on tobacco from Co
lonial .possessions than on tobacco from the United States, and other coun
tries are putting on extra duty on Imported tobacco. ~
Therefore, there is every reason to reduce the' planting of tobacco
one-fourth to one-third.

Hi BEHALF OF A FRIEND
One of the great beauties about
iod's creation Is the (act that lonely
.?ours may be turned Into hours ot
unboams, and the darkest clouds may
infold themselves and reveal their
:iv'ry linings. We gain consolation
i cur hours of sadness through
'?any channels. The greatest method
y which man may drive a*a- all
.ears and perplexities is to be sub
missive to His Divine will. Another
method by which man may live and
And his highest good in lite is to take
,ue advantage ot the greatest oppor
tunity that man possesses ? making
iriends. Many of our hours are lonely
c-nee. Wealth plays no part in con
solation, the material blessings of life
seem to our grief. Nothing seems to
heer and inspire us on upward paths
?ave one thing ? the confidence of
friends.
Many a man has attained success
not because of wealth or heritage, but
tecause of the encouraging words of
toble friends. Not all friends are
true; some are staunch lovers and
supporters for flattering reasons;
icme will adore you in your presence
;nd cast piercing darts of criticism
when you are gone. A true friend
will stick by you in doubts and fears,
n Joys or in sorrows, in failure or
in success. A true friend will stand
the test. I owe the larger part ot
'what I hope to be In life to my pa
rents, but my true friends share a
large part as well.
"I should like to pay a simple tri
bute to a friend who has proved trust
worthy since my experiences of child
hood. I remember very tenderly the
friendship that existed between my
father and him. Their hearts seemed
lo be knit together. They enjoyed
the church fellowship, and many times
did they walk three miles to hear the
TOspel notes of the minister.
My father's friend was my friend,
.1. R. Collins. It seems that I Inherit
ed my fathers devotion for him. Those
tender memories of the bygone days
are very sacred ones.
I too hold pleasant memories of the
days when "Captain Bob", as we
called him, taught our Sunday School
lesson. He was a lover of the Sunday
School, and by his teachings I know
'hat those with whom he came In
contact have been benefitted. The
church meeting will not seem the
same without his presence, yet the
thoughts of the days gone by are
treasured.
As a neighbor, Mr. Collins was not
excelled. He was always a "young
man", and a devout lover of young
people and their Ideals. He was ever
ready and willing to give the people
of hi* community assistance In every
way possible.
I am consoled when I realize that
the world la better because he lived.
The writer of these words is a better
boy because he knew him. His pres
ence will be longed for daily, but we
should be glad that we knew him. 1
count It a privilege to have his name
among my circle of friends. A true
friend is one of life's greatest gifts,
and we should go in quest of friends
dally.
"It Is my ]oy in life to And
At every turning of the road.
The strong arm of some comrade kind
To help me onward with my load;
And since I have no gold to give
And lave alone must make omens,
My only prayer is, while I live
God make me worthy of my friends."

TWO APPLE BULLETINS
ABE NOW AVAILABLE
"Soil Management (or Apple Or
chards" and "Apple Spraying" are
the titles o( two excellent, new ex
tension circulars, recently prepared
by H. R. Nlswonger, extension horti
culturist at State College, and now
available to commercial orchardlsts
or to owners of home orchards in
'North Carolina. '
In these two publications, Mr. Nls
wonger has drawn upoa his years ot
experience with the successful and
practical apple growers of the State
and the facts are determined largely
by the field demonstrations which
certain orchardlsts hare conducted in
cooperation with Mr. Niswonger and
the county farm agents.
The bulletin on soil management
for the apple orchard Is an entirely
new thing. For many years, Mr. Nls
wonger has conducted demonstrations
in the use of cover crops, the plow
ing under of legumes, fertilization
with nitrate ot soda and other prac
tices. As a result ot the field wojk,
he is now in a position to advocate
the practices which he sets forward
in his new publication.
The bulletin on apple spraying was
clso prepared after similar field work.
Mr. Nlswonger makes the point that
under North Carolina conditions, It
is impossible to produae a crop ot
apples absolutely free from injuries
caused by insects, but it Is entirely
possible to produce a crop that will
grade out 90 per cent ot U. S. No. 1
fruit This can be done of count, it
the right principles of spraying man
agement are followed. The princi
ples consist in the correct timing ot
rprays, thorough application of toe
mixtures, and the use of materials
that will control the particular in
sect* being fought The bulletin
gives the facts In regard to these
three matters.
Copies of both publications may be
had free of charge as long as the sup
ply lasts on application to the agri
cultural editor at State College.
