News And Views Of Interest To Randolph Farmers Agriculture Should Receive Attention From Next Congress Declares W. G. McAdoo, Sena tor-Elect From California, In Recent Interview. Senator-elect William G. McAdoo, „f California, who was Secretary of the Treasury during the Woodrow, Wilson administration, says that ag- j r culture is the most pressing subject J be considered by the Roosevelt ad-; ministration. He thinks that the country may have to “forget some hoary formu las" of government in restoring the , archasing power of the farmer. ‘I am convinced that legislation in \ ir naif of the farmer is possible,” he ..id. “We attempt to take care of - her business, why not agriculture?” McAdoo said that when the farmers’ d dlar was given back to him he would ■mend it and all business would bene The farmers need everything,” he -.id, “clothing, machinery, and oth - necessaries and luxuries as well ■mt they cannot buy for they have no . >ney. Given reasonable prices for 0jr products, their money will reach every avenue of business.” Taking wheat and cotton as exam ple, he said the situation was the same as would exist if the steel man ufacturers had to sell their products in this country at the world price. If the producers of wheat and cot ton were protected so that they could sell the amount of wheat and cotton consumed ip the United States at re munerative prices, they could then take their chances, as manufacturers do, on the disposition of their surplus in the competitive markets of the world. “There Is a tariff duty of 42 cents a bushel on wheat but it is ineffective because the surplus wheat product ion and not the tariff controls the price. There is no tariff on short staple cotton but if there were it would be no more effective under present conditions than the tariff on wheat. “The American farmer sells in an unprotected market and buys in a protected one. He is outside of our' tariff walls when he sells and inside of it when he buys.” Cows on the farm of Bryant Wall in and Lester Price in Madison coun ty returned a pasture rental of $3.50 to $4 a head per month after paying : the cost of other feed and labor.

I Harnessing the small streams on ‘the farm to produce electrical power |for the farm is becoming more com mon in North Carolina and furnishes [the means of lightening many farm | jobs. ; “The slopes of western North Car lolina furnish excellent conditions for i the establishing of small power plants !for home use,” says David S. Weaver, | agricultural engineer at State College! I Nortn Carolina has a large area where streams flow rapidly and where j the water- may be harnessed by water : wheels. Some farmers are using overshot wheels, undershot wheels, turbines and impulse wheels but for average conditions the overshot j wheel is the most desirable. In some instances, the results have been i unsatisfactory because of variation in the stream flow and a poor estimate of obtaining heads.” ! Before going to the expense of es tablishing a plant of this kind, Mr. ■Weaver suggests that the site be j studied in careful detail and the pos jsible horsepower available be estimat jed. For large installations, an engi neer should be secured but for small jer streams, the preliminary estimates ; may be made by the landowner him [self. | Mr. Weaver has recently preparec [a circular dealing with this subjecl j and he offers to send it to any citi j zen of the State who may have th< power and the funds for installing < [home power plant. The circular de j scribes a method of determining j whether the stream will develop suf iic;ent power for generating electric jal current for either lights or power j This is one of the most valuable ad j ditions to the conveniences of an; I farm home, Weaver says, in that i I may permit of running water as wel I as power and lights. Keep A Few Bees As Farm Side Line Experience Of Those Who Keep Bees Is That They Are A Paying Proposition. From the experiences of 52 good farmers who kept a few bees about their places last year, C. L. Sams, beekeeping specialist at State College, concludes that a few colonies of the insects kept in modem hives will pay almost any farmer in the State. The reports from the 52 men living on farms in widely separated sect ions of the State show that they kept 812 colonies which produced 46,577 pounds of honey or an average df 57 Vi pounds to the colony. The val ue of this horiey •'was' 18 cents a pound thus netting $8,383.86 for the men reporting. The average income per farmer from the honey was $161.-' 28 or $10.32 a colony. Since this sup ply of honey was picked up by the bees from nectar supplied by the flow ers of farm crops and woodland blos soms, the income was clear profit ex cept for a small investment in hive's and labor. Much of the honey was retailed at nearby stores or the curb market at a higher price than that reported while the larger part will be consumed I in the farm home this winter. ! But Mr. Sams got reports from 18 i ! ether men who kept 125 colonies in j the old box hives. These 125 colonies produced only 1,525 pounds of honey j with the average production per hive being only about twelve pounds each. The value of this honey was a little over 12 cents a pound or in other words, the 18 men reported an in come of $1.55 a colony as compared with the income of $10.32 from the j colonies in the modern hives. | From these reports, Mr. Sams con-j ! eludes that a few hives of bees around j any farm home will pay their way i ; and will supply a delicious sweet to ! I add to the food menu of the family. However, it is nearly a waste of time to use the old box hives. BOYD HOG FARM WINS RECOGNITION When the United States Army be-' gan to look for a good boar to head . I (he breeding herd in the hog lots at ] Fort Bragg, near Fayetteville, Cap j tain John W. Tilsey, an authority on I hogs, went over to Oakhurst harm,; near Greenville, in Pitt county, and | selected one of the big-bone Duioo . I grown by- the owner, J. H. Boyd, Jr. | The State of North Carolina also gave I credit to Mr. Boyd’s herd when a boar j was needed at the Colony Home near Kinston. | “Mr. Boyd began careful breeding [work on his Pitt county farm over two years ago when he found he must diversify his farming program at Oakhurst,” says E. F. Arnold, 'county farm agent. “He knew that hog growing is one of the most prof itable branches of farming in eastern North Carolina, especially when good stock is used. He determined to grow 'some of this good stock. His first step was to buy two outstanding boars, ‘The Aristocrat’ and ‘The Pi lot,’ and to secure several purebred registered sows to start a breeding herd. The bloodlines purchased are are grown with this start, Mr. Boyd began to expand his hog production.” Arnold says there there are now 16 brood sows of excellent quality on the Boyd farm and from these have been secured a number of pigs sired by the two herd boars. The herd is considered one of the best east of the Rocky Mountains, which of course in cludes the famous breeding centers of the middle west. Mr. Boyd is specializing as a breed er and while he secures his own meat supply from the farm, so far he has found a ready sale for all of his sur plus animals of good quality. A num ber of prizes have been won also at nearby shows and fairs. i HELP FORMER OWNERS REGAIN THEIR HOMES (Progressive Farmer) A South Carolina farmer came into our office the other day to make a j plea that ought to have national at 1 tention. Not only does this friend think that farmers who have lost their homes should be helped to be come home owners again, but he ar gues that especial efforts should be made to help deserving and indust i rious farmers regain the identical homes they have lost. And in this he is right. A home where a man has lived for years; a borne to which he probably brought his bride when he married and where his children have been bom; a home perhaps that has been given further sacredness by memories of departed loved ones who have lived there; a home which has been a part of n neighborhood life of friends and kins folk—such a farm home has an ap peal far beyond its mere financial ! value. Furthermore, the owner J through years has acquired an ac quaintance with the special character istics and qualities of each field, val j ley, or hillside; has learned how to j handle it and what crops and culture I it is best adapt to, etc. There is ev jery reason from a purely financial ! standpoint why the farmer should bo helped to win back his own home if I possible. j And there are other reasons. A preacher came into our office a few | weeks ago. “A tragedy is being enact i ed in many rural communities,” he I said, ‘in neighborhaad after neigh i borhood where .substantial home \ owners formerly lived and had a most happy community life with mutual acquaintance and mutual | support of school, church, and Sunday school, these owners have been sold out and driven away. Newcomer ten ants have taken their places—tenants ! who do not know the community or j the people and who do not know ; . whether they will stay where they I j are longer than next fall and hence {have little interest in community life I or institutions. The effect on rural social life is appalling.” Tragic indeed are all such conse Certified irish potatoes in Hay ) wood county produced at the rate of 240 bushels to the acre as compared with lfiO bushels from ordinary home selected seed.

The stockholders of the Randolph County Fair Association met in their regular annual meeting Monday at the court house with a large member ship in attendance. According to the report of W. A.
