OOKX YIELDS. Some of tlie Results of Demonstra-, tioa Work In Moore During 1013 Many Lesson to be Jrwn From the Table Given llelmw. (It was only a moderately good corn year for Moore county,. A num ber of heavy washing 'rains and wind storms did considerable dam age during tbe growing eeason. As a general rule the fertilizers used on corn were applied during culti vation, using from 50 to 200 p'ouncs at planting, which teems to the moat practicable method where there are only tBre or four hun dred lbs. of ready-mixed or amonl tated, afertilizers used per acre on poor soila. Taking the county over, I acre Dr. Shields cut one section has but very little ad vantage over the other. The north ern, or clay soila of the county .vill produce equal to any in the State and will grow the grasses, and clovers when sells become innoculat ed a easily aa rye will grow In the sandhills. On Mr. W. G. Tyson's farm near Carbonton crimson clover was sown after the second picking of cotton being turned under in Huring for corn. Using onlyj SO pounds nitrate soda Mr. Tyson gath srtd) SO bushela of corn on .this plat. On Dr. H. B. Shields' farm near Elise the department furnished a mixture of grata seeds for one acre. Under unfavorable conditions -hp seeds could not be sown until .rather late in the fall. Not get. ting a perfect tstand, yet from this 6,000 pounds of hav equal to any timothy bay we pay so high for. This was not .creeu or bottom land but high or drv and, no better than thousands of other acres in clay sections for growing the grasses and clovers. There are splendid yields of corn being made in this section with but I'ittle fertilizer. The sand, or Southern section of the county can grow a variety of different crops, so much so that it is remarkable that 'we stick to the one money crop- cotton. We have thoroughly demon strated on our own farm that we can get more money per acre from either dewberries, tobacco or string beans and tomatoes for canning. One acre in either of these crops will produce as much in cash as 3 or 4 acres in cotton. It gives us a routine of crops to draw our fade to be found. money from. :lf we should fail on one crop we have ethers to fall back: on tit ia interesting to have a) va riety of crops to take care jof, -even if it wasn't any mora profitable never gettirfg out more of! either onto crop than we can scientifically and properly handle, dewberries be ing the first crop put on the mar ket for canning. As we are through cultivating except cotton there nothing much to hinder, in curing tobacco. Lastly; after taking care ,of other crops; wecan gather our cotton. The last two years of demonstra tion work in the county haa taufcht me many valuable things concerning agriculture and I can settle dtfwu on the farm believing the rural pop ulation la the most hospitable peo- Z.

In the "Poultry Raising" de partment of the current issue of Farm and Fireside Pearl Cheno weth tells how she gets her chickens to lay e gs in winter. She has seventy-five single comb brown leghorns which laid from thirty to forty eggs a day dur ing Oovember. My hens have a warm dinner every day at noon planned as earefully as that for the family. Sometimes it is a kettle of oats boiled in salt water, a crock of milk and a stewed pimpdin. Sometimes it is boiled potatoes, Jye hominy and cabbage. Of fen it is cooked wheat with Kaffir and oats uncooked, says Mrs. Cenoweth. When the eggs are gathered, usually at 4 p. m., tee bens are fed as much shelled corn as they will eat. I have trained them to come at the . inging of a bell. It is the only way I can get them from the millet stack. Tbe last thing before the chick ens go to roost and often half the flock get off the roost I feed a warm maso. bran or shorts for a foundation mixed with table scraps and beef meal Of this this they are fender than any thing, and thus more food is con sumed than if the best were given first. Aside from this ad vantage, the warm food will keep them warm until well to ward morning, and everyjbird is at work aeain as soon as it is light enough to see. Thrice a week we feed meat scraps bought in hundred-pound sacks at the packing house. The chickens at first refused it dry, but by pouring hot water over it and allowing it to stand over niuht it makes a feast for them Several times each day the wa tering pans are emptied, rinsed and refilled. Oyster shells' ground bone, sand and ashes are kept be'ore the flock always- Underwood Wraps on Panic Preachers Oscar W. Underwood, the Democratic leader of the House of Representatives, declared on the floor of the House one day last week that the Democratic party "has achieved for the American people more than has been accomplished heretofore in the history of our Government. We have secured the results which the Republican party struggled for in the course of 20 years. I look forward to unusual prosperity throughout the coun try in the next year." STKEL MILLS RUNNING- The Democratic leader said the steel mills in his district were working double shifts despite the fact that practically all of their product was put on the tariff free list. He quoted John Wan amaker as saying that "breeders of panic ought to be deported " "What I have to say to the birds of ill omen who preach dis aster, hoping to brine their party hack into power," Mr. Under wood continued, "is this : "The industrial depression we have been passing through has lasted for more than a year. It began before Woodrow Wilson was elected. Before the coming elections next fall there will be an industrial awakening that will nut to shame the panic preach ing brokers who cry disaster in . order to bring about depression." Democrats Have Kept the Faith. True to its platform pledge, the Democratic party . has fol lowed tariff revision with enr rency revision. Legislation has feen enacted putting the cur rency business of the nation on a new oasis' and readjusting the nation's banking. The ambitions of the party in these two measures are high. Both are aimed to relieve the conditions of existence to make lite less difficult to the humble citizen. The theory of the re vised tariff is to end the nartnnr. ship of government with privi lege, i ne currency bill is direct ed to the same end. and to safe. guard the country against money panics, sucn as nave in the past wrougnc sunering ana disaster. Only exDerience with nv lawn will test whether the people for wneae Denent tney are osten sibly passed will be the gainers. Only time can tall whether the hopes of patriotic men are to be fulilled in nomilar satisfaction. The effort, great ox email, con scientious or half hearted of Democratic leadership .to obtain the fixed favors of thm WtnmiA may end in party disaster. But, to all present semming, they have kept the faith. None nn charffea tha annt-rnrv Th faults .alleged by critics of the administration are in the main faults ef ignorance and mcompe- tptirv. Tha adminainn aMirM tti be general that Democrats have Kept tne zaiin. Trust Question Next W. J. Bryan. The President and Congress will soon be ready take op the trust quel. tion, tne next qaeation that demands decisive action. The President has not yet ontlined a detnled policy, bat he has given as tke principle which will guide him and that leaves as in no donbt as to the coarse he will pursue, la his speech of aooeptanoe he reiterated the pom. tion taken in four Democratio na tional platforms, namely, that a pri. vate monopoly ia indefensible and intolerable. As be has an excellent understanding of the Eoglish lan. guage no one understands it bet. ter he knows what words mean and how to use them. Since he re gards a private monopoly as indefen sible, wi can assume that he will not attempt to defenfi it, and aa he be lieies a private monopoly intoler. able, we can assume that he will not tolerate it. The Democratic party is the only party that ever dared to lay the axe at the root of the tree and attack the principle of private monopoly. Both the Republican party and the Progressive Republicans have dealt timidly with the trust question; both of these parties have had prominent representatives of the trusts among their leaders. The Democratic par. ty is able to deal with the sabgect frcm the standpoint of the people, and it will stand behind the Presi dent in his effort to secure legisla tion that will make a private mo nopoly impossible.

Mrs. Alford is the same person who was indioted two or three years ago for selling liquor at Thomasville and she was convict' ep in the Davidson county coutt, but not punished. Male Stenographers and Type writers in Demand. The United States Civil Service Commission announces that while it haa no difficulty in securing suffi cient female stenographers and type writers to meet the needs of the de partments at Washington, the sup Dlv of male eliciblea hag not hann equal to the demand. Toung men wno are at least 18 years of age and ho are willing to aocept the usual entrance salaries, which are $840 and $900 a year, haye excellent op portunities for appointment. While the entranoe salariea are low, ad. vancement is reasonablv raDid ta thosn meriting it. The examine, tions, whioh any competent stenog rapher should be able to pass, are held each month in the year, except December, at it he principal cities of the United States.
