Vrhe Pied mont region, "on account of . its manu facturing enterprises, has been ' the most- attractive portion of the State, and will hold its primacy for years to come. But not forever. That sec tion of North Carolina lying beyond the Blue Ridge is to be'the garden of our State. For all the years, this re gion has been Inaccessible. Its peo ple have been forced-to Jive secluded lives. because of the natural barriers that cut them off from the rest of the outside world. But the barriers are broken down. Splendid highways are making travel swift and easy. Rail roads are scaling the hillsides opening new ; lines of commerce.- Education has a stronger hold upon the men of the mountains than any other class of our people. They are not yet edu cated, but. they are going 'to be. The rising generation will be ready for the great transformation that is coming. The lying stories that have been printed in Northern journals by relig ious adventurers, while cruel and ex asperating, have not hindered -the progress of this section. Instead of the huts daubed with clay, serving as residents for the "mountain whites" as pictured by these pious pretenders, the homes of the people are beautiful and attractive. We have seen more painted farm homes this year in Wes tern North Carolina than in any other section of the State we have visited, onirthermore the averacrft' man our mountain - section will hold "his own with the average man anywhere else. They are no better and no worse than the people of the plains! They are in North nmnns all animated by the same spirit In both sections there is a great deal of ignorance, but in both the typical cit izen is intelligent and progresssive. And we are writing now of the aver agSvman and nt of the special type. The hills have this great advantage over the East; the farmers are not slaves to one crop. Cotton has not laid its grip upon them. The crops x. urm5 newer prices because of the war; and they have no negro problem to worry them. The Western x,iiier owns nis ltttle farm. He is Beginning to cultivate it scientically. He is not land poor but land rich. Broad acres" Hn not nmntn 3 farming It ls the small farm th9t usuall well tilled.

The strength of the hills lies in the fact inat mere will be no land monopoly. No owner of a ereat nlantatinn uMii rent his vast domain tn thmioco groes, and go to town to enjoy life. uui ue win get bis living from his own skillful labor, send his children to the scnooi he and his nejchhnra h n vn do tablished. attend th hard by, and make country life what it ougnt to be the finest civilization in the world. Already the boysr of the west are going to the top in the world's. work, not" because they ar more gifted than other bovs. but1 be cause they.have not been enervated by' me vicious influence - of the small towns.

This" is an important matter. Although, since demonstration work was started seven years ago, the aver age yield of corn m the State has in creased' from 14 to 20, bushels per acre, yet the State Js still buying a great deal of corn; thus showing we still need to Increase our. yields " per acre. One of the easiest ways of do ing this is by Improving our seed corn by selection from year to year. It Is an easy matter to increase yields from 5 to 10 bushels per acre on-good land by such selections.- In . a four-years' test of varieties bv the North Carol! na Experiment Station, there: was " an average difference of -15 1-2 . bushels between the highest and lowest 'yield ing varieties. On srood : land? an-In crease of 21 bushels per acre hag-been made by improved strains over scrub seed In this state. r The matter of seed selection with corn is; very simple, so every farmer snouid give the matter due attention by going to the corn field or seed patch before corn is harvested- Se- iegtipri : should ;be, made from. thev:bedt ana most proimc staiKs. rne-stalk should . be large. Cattish and big enough to stand ud durine a storm. and should have long, broad leaves-but should not be .too . tall. The stalk should bear two or more ears., The seed should not be', obtained from stalks grown on very rich land or under exceptionally good Condition. But from stalks grown on land of averasre fertility, under averaee condi tions which produce more than the stalks around them thus showing an Inherited , tendency, toward a higher yield. The Cars should , not be too high on the stalk about 2 1-2 feet be ing tne best height. When this corn Is selected the -wee virs should be gotten out, and it should it.. i t j ' . k - f i ... . iiieu ue piauea vuere it win oe auso lutely dry through' the winter. Mois ture materially injures the . vitality of seed corn.: This Is the first part of the selection. Durins- the lnnp win ter jaights or. rainy days of , winter the men and boys on the farm .can set into this seed . corn,, shuck it land then elim inate all undesirable ears. 'This . part of the selection .will, be given atten tion later. - r This matter has "iti e endorsement of Governor Locke , Craig, Commission of Agriculture Graham, State Superin tendent Joyner, President, of Farmers' Union Alexander, county, superinten dent of education and other leading citizens of the. State, fJ Now; let farmers do their . duty 'in this matter, - rally Jto the' seed."" selection business, and thus ; make a long ' stride" toward growing jfrrthe "State 'air the" corn needed and keeping our money at home. -- K:..- . 1 ''' to 5 L 100 all-w ool 3 Just Arrived for EM, MM, Mm WO o EACH V As -long as : they last. to Come early pick choice . 1 5 King (SotEier1 Special v'J- -( b3 CO
