C. V. Smith rector of Christ Church. - - The Weeksville Council of the Jr Order will attend these services in a -body. . Dr. John A. Ferrell has received letters from 1,153 physicians who re port having treated 17,933 cases of hookworm. "This goes to show" says Dr. 'Ferrell r ''that more than one third of the active physicians have been treating hookworm. There were over nine thousand specimens exam ined during the three months ending March 31, which Is more than were examined during the whole of last year. Of this number onethlrdwere found to be affected.. t Twenty thousand school children were reached by popular lectures on hookworm during the quarter and 71,000 pieces of literature on the sub J ect were distributed. i There Is nothing In the Democrat ic program to alarm or scare any leg timate business in the United States No sane man within the confines of the republic would want to pass any laws tjiat would injure any leg itlmate business but no man who has the welfare of the republic at heart wants to collect an exorbitant tariff on articles of general consumption by American people. At least 200 and possibly 300 of the items in the Payne Aldrichac provides duties over 100 per cent. The Democrats propose to lliminat6 these abuses. By taking the various tariff. laws beginning with the Morrill act, pas sed Just after the war, we can deter minate tbe minimum of duties that wllj produce the revenues needed by the government. We will first determine what amount of revenue is needed and then can decide on the duties that will bring In this amount The Democratic party Is not play lng politics-No steam roller is be ing used by the Republicans. If that party Is responsive to the will of the people, Ido not see bow the Republicans can consistently oppose the Democratic program Speaker Champ Clark. Because farmers get good prices for most of their products in fact for everything they make that can he eaten there are those that think that the farmer is not at all affected by the high cost of living that trou bles town1 folks. The farmer has likewise to pay more for all that he buys. The Charlotte Chronicle has a news story along this line that is both instructive and interesting and Is as follows: 'The farmers are now feeling as never before the high cost of living which has been a sore subject for years with the salaried people of the cities. The wise farmer raises to a very great extent the things that go upon his 'table and it is not high priced provisions that causes the far mers wary. Farm animals and farm machinery are sky high as compared " with the prices a few years ago. Tne same is true of labor. The man who purchases a farm to day must pay almost as much to pro perly stock and equip the place as ' he pays for the land. Good mules ' cost anywhere from $200 to 400 apie ce in fact no horse or mule of suffi cient size for steady work on a farm can be purchased for less than $175 to 200. Cows, hogs and other farm stock are almost as high In propor tion. , " L&bor has become so scarce and high during the past few years that the' up-to-date farmer does with- the smallest a'miwja possible, using sul ky pows, cultivators and other labor avjng,,,machjnery , TOis.equipment is , expensive and the', fact that Under the present circumstance It lessens the cost of production does not af ter the first cost. Observant" men are of the opinion that the Increasing cost 'of farming operations is having "one decidedly good effect that there is one consol ation for it all this Is its very stro ng influence of better farming or more 'intelligent cultivation of the soil, the rotation of crops and for . Intensive cultivation generally. It ! readily nitlcable Jn Mecklenburg county for Instance that a steadily increasing number of farmers areu lng twohorse plows and are break- lng their land deeper using vastly more fertilizers and are cultivating .. their crops more scientifically and they are getting results. These me" find that the cost of producing a ' bale of cotton or 100 bushels of cor Is less when the Intensive system ' of cultivation is used than under the old method. The "biggest difference in the cost is for theextra amount of fertilizer and thecost of this has has been found to be such a good in- ' vestment that the. best farmers are -putting from 500 to 1,000 pounds to tbe acre in the place of the 200 or 300 pounds what were used a few years back One farmer who has a numberof tenants on his farm noticing the re luirtance of his tenants to tie up enough money in fertilizers to pro vide more than 300 or 400 pounds to the acre under cotton has made an arrangement whereby he proposes to furnish all of the fertilizer for all oT the cotton seel. He figures that not only will he receive more lint cotton by this trade, since he intends tD put 600 to 800 pounds of guano to the acre but that the cotton seed will more than pay for the fertilizer leav lng him a neat margin of profit even then.
