Our County Fair is over, and every fanner who took part in it should feel preud that he lives in Old Ran dolph. The weather was bad the en tire week, but you got your exhibits there and jot them up. My only re gret is that more people did not get o see what you did, and cause them to real lie as I have for some time what Randolph farmers can really do when they get started In the crops oepartment there were several times as much as there was last year ami the quality was much ' better, and the same thing can be said for the livestock departments. The poultry exhibit was more than double what it wa.- last year and the quality of the exhibits was something to open the eyes of a poultry fancier. In behalf of the management as well as myself, I wish to thank you all for the el fort you put forth to make this the best Agricultural Fair ever held in the county. Ltts now resolve that we will again out do ourselves next vear, and show to the world what we can do. Small Grain and Fertilizer We are now thinking about what we are iroimr to put under our small grain this fail in the way of fertilizer if it ever stops raining. While you are thinking tins over 1 hope that you Will keep in mind the fact that this county only averages about ten bushels of heat per acre. There is something wrong with our fertiliza tion. Experiments conducted by the State College Extension Department clearly show that the more fertilizer means more wheat. Along with this is shown that nitrogen and phosphates are necessary for large yields. We are using the phosphates in small doses, but the most of us are not using the nitrogen as we should. I have found that most farmers use a 10-0-2 or a 10-0-4 on most of their wheat. From test work from one end of the state to the other this practice must be wrong. For instance, in Davie Coun ty, 600 lbs. of 16-0-4 gave a yield of 12.3 bu. of wheat, where on the other hand 600 lbs. of a 12-4-4 gave 24.7 bu. in the same field, and an 8-8-4 used at the same rate gave 29.3 bu. in the same field. ! These facts should clearly demon strate to our minds that we are not ' using enough of either the phosphates j or the amonia when we get only 10 : bushels per acre. Why not try a high j grade fertilizer this fall. For instance ( a 12-3-3, or make a high grade by . mixing 10 per cent acia ana cotton seed meal, and nitrate of soda. Then put it on at the rate of five or six hundred pounds per acre. I would like to have the name of any farmers who are willing to try some test work with grain this fall and keep cost records with it against your usual plan. I would be glad to hear from j you so that 1 can visit your farm and work out the best formula lor your particular type of soil. Permanent Pastures In last week's Progressive Farmer is a very interesting article on pas tures by Mr. O. r. McCrary. I i that you will all look it up and read it if you have not already done so. It is now time that we had our seeds on hand so that we could get our gTass mixtures in with our oats as soon as the ground dries out enough to work. The great trouble about getting a stand of grass or clover is generally the lack of one or both of ' two things. The lack of proper fer tilization or the lack of putting on enough -eed, and I fear in most caes both.

Several farmers have told me that they hnd tried cows, and that there wan not any money to be made with them. On looking around and asking a few questions I found out that not one of them had a single acre of real pasture. We must give the old cow a chance before we con demn her, not only at a real perma . nent pasture, but at some good le .guma hay to eat during tha winter while there is no grating. .

Jerusalem seems always filled to overflowing, but during easter it is crowded with people for days and nights to such a degree that it is impossible to describe. They fill the monestaries which surround the walls with tens of thousands of nil- I REV. A. U grims, and dothe the Holy City in a I "Don't cheer, boys, the poor pack greater variety of colours than were ers are starving!" That is the in the coat which Jacob gave to his i solemn thought provoked by read favorite son, Joseph. i inr Republican Chairman Butler's The walls of Jerusalem enclose not more than three hundred acres of ground, made up of hill and hollow, all filled with the flat-roofed box-like houses. There is no regularity in the city. The streets wind in and out and up and down, now becoming narrow, murky tunnels and now roofed with the blue sky of the Holy Land. They are so narrow that through most of them no wheeled vehicle can go, and standing in the middle of many of them you can touch the walls on both sides with your outstretched hands. It is in such streets that the thousands move to and fro at Easter sea.-on. I doubt whether there is a town of five hundred population in the United States which is built upon three hun dred acres of land. Here there are over one hundred times that many people, and the FCaster visitors swell the number to as many more. During this time the bulk of this mass of humanity crowds into the section near the church of the Holy Sepulchre. The streets are so crowded that Moslem soldiers must be on guard to keep order. The gray colours of the clothes of the Orient turn the streets into a jabber of a score of languages makes a noise quite as remarkable as that heard at the Tower of Babel. Davids street is the narrow way lead ing from Jaffa Gate down into the city. It is about ten feet wide, and we go through it into the Christian street, which, by a second turn, brings us to the church of the Holy Sepulch re. At the top is the Tower of Da vid, a square stone structure one hun- nreu ieet nign, a part ol which was in existence before the Christian era. In the large square in front of this is the vegetable market of Jerusalem, where peddlers from Bethlehem and elsewhere sit in the stones with their baskets about them. We saw a mov- ing mass of all ages and colors about the tower. Twenty nations make up that great throng. Some of the prettiest women in the world are peddling vegetables about you. As you note their com plexions you can hardly realize that they live under the fierce sun of the tropics. Their skins are as fair as the cheeks of the girls of Dublin, and their regular features would make them beauties here in America. They wear high caps bound round with sil ver coins, row after row rising up c .--: e i i : . i i. iiroin ineir ioreneaus against a oaca- 1 , , .i.., , I (iuuiiu y i uioa.iv ycivci. a naw a crowd of Russian peasants. The wo- men wear large brown handkerchiefs tied about their heads in the place of bonnets and their dresses are made of wool. The men have tall fur caps, i and long coats. The faces of both sexes are strong with industry show- ing in every line. As we pass on through the crowd we see Bedouin girls in Gypsy dress, and Bethlehem shepherds clad in sheep-skins. Going on we saw the money changers, who sit at the street comers with little glass covered boxes of gold and sil ver coins before them. We saw doz ens of heggers on every side. A stream of worshipers of all nations passes continuously among the hordes of beggers and peddlers squatting on the stones. Here we saw Syrians sel ling candles of all kinds and sizes, from tapers no larger than your lit tle finger to great cylinders as thick as your arm, to pilgrims who go to burn them in the churches. Tl j.n .i : : 1. .'"" " !""' rucnm DUS siness. She is a Bethlehem girl with bushels of beads. They are made of olive wood and of the pips of the olive itself, as well as of mother of, pearl. I saw a dark-brown man whose face reminds you of that of Judas in Leonardo da Vinci's "Last : Supper". He is peddling little crosses of mother-of-pearl. I saw peddlers of brass rings and glass bracelets from , Hebron. I saw women peddlers with faces as bright as Mary Magdalene. We visited the church of the Holy Sepulchre, the church which contains the tomb of Jesus. It is the church that Constantine built, the church for which the crusaders fought, Uie (shrtne where the religions of all Christendom would bow. The Oriental Christians are very : superstitious, and have great faith in all the grand stories connected with the tomb of Jesus. All through tha Easter season they are in a state of religious frenzy. The officers of tha various churches do all they can to increase this excite merit, with the re sult that there Is a series of religious Egeanta in which each patriarch and bishops try to oatahine) tha other churches la splendor and atrernonials.

Senator LaFoUetle doea not make reply, himself, but it comes from his sea, Robert LaFoJlette, Jr the vice chairman of the LaFoUette- Wheeler joint executive committee. The younger LaFollette goes at tha Republican record with a smash, and holds the feet of Chairman Butler to the fire in the course of his re marks. Herewith is the reply of Mr. La Follette to the Chairman Butler I statement LaFolleUe'a Reply to Butler pitiful reply to Senator Larollette's Ldtoor Liay speecn. "There is no coal trust, no sugar ' trust, no oil trust, no beef trust, I or any other kipd of trust, so far as Mr. Butler has' ever heard. All the trusts are gone. Harry Daugh- ! erty smashed them. "Coal, according to Mr. Butler, is selling at or less than cost, Standard Oil is a philanthropic institution, and the 'Big Five' packers are dead broke. Only the tariff, says Mr. Butler, is protecting the innocent beet sugar trust from the terrible Cuban cane sugar trust, when every body knows that both are controlled by the same bunch of Ameican ' financiers. "I challenge Mr. Butler to go any- I where west of the Mississippi and ' recite his farm prosperity statis tics to an audience of bankrupt farmers. 1 "If the farmers have done so well under the Harding-Coolidge admin istration, will Mr. Butler please tell us why Secretary of Agriculture Wallace officially reports that 600, 000 farmers in the 15 grain states have been bankrupted during this period of Why is it that the Republcan comptroller of the currency reports that 1,357 banks have failed during this period ? Why , is it that the more than 1,000,000 ; farmers in a single year have thrown ! up the sponge and flooded to the j "And the poor railroads! Less than 5 1-2 per cent profit on 'physi cal valuation,' says Mr. Butler. The farmers and other shippers know, even if Mr. Butler does not, that freight rates are fixed under the Esch-Cummins law not on physical valuation, but substantially on the railroads' own book values, which in clude all the water that - has been poured into them in half a century and covr up all the looting of once j prosperous roads. Here are a few ' headlines clipped during the past six i months from the Wall Street Journal j that tell the truth about railroad earnings: j "Michigan Central Earns $75 a Share." I "Coast Line Earned $18.84 a Share ' in 1923." "Burlington Earned $11.29 on Stock i in 1923." ; "B. & 0. Made $13.21 a Share in ! 1923." "Buffalo & Susquehanna Earned $23.09 on Common I "D. L. & W. Railroad per cent in 1923." Earned 15 "Illinois Central Earned Share Last Year." $15 a "Cotton Common." Belt Earns $14.71 "W. & Lake Erie Earns $12.99 on Stock." "Southern Pacific's 1923 Net $12.94 a Share." "Norfolk & Western Earns $13.35 , a Share." "Union Pacific Shows $15.50 a Share for 1923." "New York Central's Earnings ' Near $.'10 a Share." Agricultural freight rates are only 60 per cent higher than before the war, says Mr. Butler. Only 60 per cent, and Mr. Butler can see no cure except to reduce railroad wages. ' Canada has found a cure. Between : 1921 and 1924 she reduced agricul- i tural freight rates to pre-war levels. And yet paying substantially the 1 same wage scales to members of the ' 'same railroad unions, the Canadian National Railways, owned by the Canadian Government, has changed a deficit of $37,000,000 in 1921 when the system was taken over under Sir Henry Thornton's management, to a surplus, of more that $20,000,000 in 1923. "Mr. Butler, a big woolen manu facturer and a beneficiary of 'Sched ule K,' is evidently stone deaf when it comes to the tariff. Senator La Follette didn't say anything about reducing all the tariff schedules, he merely mentioned 'exhorbitant rates on manufacturers,' like woolen goods, j for instance. Those are the sched-' ules he is going after. "As for the agricultural sched-. ules, every farmer understands- now 1 what the late Senator Knute Nelson. a stalwart Republican, told McCunv ' bar while the Fordney-McCumber tariff biU was before tha Senate,1 Senator Nelson said: c ! "It SMm in m tt k lUttaf1 from North Dakota (Mr. MeCumheri I in his seal to put such aa immense tariff on thea agricultural tirorfnrt. higher than wa kara rer bad before,) nigner man inert was any necessity , for has doaa so simply to aid tha i roteetton machlna Tor tha woolen schedule and tome other ached ules la tha bill ' (Cong.

'Cut wages,' says Mr. Butler. Coal is quite expensive: 'Cut wages, says Mr. Butler. The fanner is robbed by speculators and monopolists, "Cut wages,' says Mr. Butler.

A plea was made for the Bibi-! cal Recorder, the official organ of the church, it being pointed out that it was being published at a loss and i that only 80,000 Baptists in the state were subscribers to the paper. Prison Official Requested To Resign As a result of an investigation by the Robeson county road board H. L. Matchell, foreman of the chain gang, has been requested to resign, effec tive October 6th. The grand jury this month in an investigation of the discipline in the road camps found conditions bad. many of the prisoners having been made trusties and .illow- ed to spend week-ends at home with their people, and one even owned and operated an automobile about the camps.
