The work of Mr. McCarthy has been eminently successful, and he has made several valuable discoveries iii his method of breeding and produc tion, as well as of growing of suitable trees. The State Department of Agricul ture has made many distributions of mulberry trees, and last week Biolo gist McCarthy announced the last dis tribution in the following circular letter: "The North Carolina Department of Agriculture will, beginning Novem ber loth, distribute among the farmers of the State 20,000 seedling mulberry trees. This distribution is intended to encourage the growing of silk in North Carolina, but the trees will at the same time furnish shade and food for poultry and hogs. Every man in the State should have a mulberry grove. The ttrees should be planted 12x12 feet on dry soil and eared for like peach or plum trees. "These trees Avill be sent by mail, post paid, in packages of 50 aiul 100! Not less than 50 nor more than 100 tress will be sent to one address.

GIVE THANKS Thursday, November 30th is the Day Set Apart THE PROCLAMATION ISSUED Reciting the Origin of the Custom Among the Early Settlers, the Pres ident Asks That The People Ob serve the Day by Thanksgiving For the Past and Prayer for the Fu ture. Washington, Special. The Presi dent has issued his proclamation naming Thursday, November 30th next as a day for thanksgiving. The proclamation follows : By the President of the nited States of America, a Proclamation. When, nearly three centuries ago, the first settlers came to the country which has now become this great re public, they fronted not only hard ships but terrible risk to their lives. In those grim years the custom grew of setting apart one day in each year for a special service of thanksgiving to the Almighty for preserving t he people through the changing seasons. The custom lias now become national and hallowed by immemorial usage. We live in easier and more plenti ful times than our forefathers, the men who with rugged strength faced the. rugged days; and yet the dan gers to national life are quite as great now as at airy previous time in our history. It is eminently fitting that once a year our people should set apart a day for praise and thanks giving to the Giver of good, and, at the same time, that they express their thankfulness for the abundant mercies received, should manfully acknowledge their shortcomings and pledge themselves solemnly and in good faith to strive to overcome them. Daring the past year we have been blessed with bountiful crops. Our business prosperity has been great. No other paople has ever stood on as high a level of material well-being as ours now stands. We are not threat ened by foes from without . The foes from whom we should pray to be de livered are our own passions, ap petites and follies; and against these there is always need that we should war. Therefore, I now set apart Thurs day, the 30th day of this November, as a Day of Thanksgiving for the past and of prayer for the future, and on that day I ask that throusrh out the land the people gather in their homes and places of worship, and in rendering thanks unto the Most High for manifold blessings of the past year, consecrate themselves to a life of clenlincss, honor and wisdom, so that ibis nation may do its allotted work on the earth in a manner worthy of those who founded it and of those who preserved it. In witness thereof, 1 have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this second day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and five, and of the independ ence of the United States the one hundred and thirtieth.
