r Th Farmers, Institute held its
session at Rich Sauare on Feb.
2, .1911. While the farmers were
being informed on agriculture in
the auditorium of the High School,
the farmers', wives were lectured
on different, but equally interest
ing topics in the principal's room.
- , MORNING SESSION.
1 lir Hutt was here, last year,
and as. she came in Thursday
morning, the smiles that greeted
her showed how heartily she was
welcomed back. Her sobject'was
'The Home," She reminded us
thai to be idle and ornamental
wa8Xld fashioned; girls -should
now be useful. She stated that
help, also, was fast becoming a
thing of the past; so girls must
do their own work. The easiest
way to do a thing is the prefer
able way, and Domestic Science
is the easiest way.
. ' lirs. Hutt enjoined girls to
look upon their Work as being
dignified, and to do it in a digni
fied wav. She told us that Do
mestic- Science ' would ; be our
greatest ally in doing this. 'She
expressed a desire to see this
science taught in all female col
leges and at least the cooking
course taught in the High Schoolp.
Should this be done, when girls
placed a cake on the table, they
would know how much starch,
nourishment etc., it contained.
Mrs. Hutt also euggested that
the kitchen be -placed near the
house, and that it be small and
otfly furnished. What girl is
there who cares to stay in a bare,
barnlike kitchen? - She stated
that our breath would be more
profitably spent talking about the
arrangement of our kitchens than
about the preacher's affairs. f'
She further stated that; kitch
ens should be net only conveni
ently situated, but also conveni
ently arranged. Why' not have
the sink and table a good height,
so we need not bend our backs so
much? " Why .not have a high
stool to sit on while at work and
castors put on tne furniture so
that it may be easily moved? She
told us that a convenient way to
arrange is! to place over the sink
the washing utensils, and to hang
the pans, etc. on the walls. An
other of her suggestions for .im
proving the kitchen was to have
a - white on ciotn nung on . tne
walls to protect them. -
Mrs. Hutt also suggested that
ladies as well as men should have
their up-to-date improvements.
She showed several useful and
time-saying articles for the kitch
en and explained their uses.
AFTERNOON SESSION. ' 'f;
Afc; one o'clock Mr. .Garren,
Assist. Agronomist, made a short
address "on "Beauty inthe Home."
He considers a person to have
three Qualities; goodnass, truth
and beauty. From a bachelor's
point of view, so he styled it a
country person has the first two
q ualities, namely : goodness and
truth ; beauty must be cultivated
by looking at the. beautiful. -Ha
stated -that . becoming clothes
made' the girl beautifulfnot a doll
face. He further stated that the
beBt, way to leautify; the. noine
was to get the best things to
place in that home, piece by piece
Mr. Garren reminded, us that
there: was such a thing aa polite
ness of ladies as well as "polite
ness of gentlemen. If ladies wish
to preserve chivalrjr among the
gentlemen, they must be; polite
themselves. ''MiifK;
interesting subject, "How to be
Good Looking. " She stated that
strong bodies may either be in
herited or cultivated. To 'culti
vate a strong body, so Mrs. Hutt
.further stated, we must have good
red blood, which is produced by
plenty of . air and , sleep. Two
glasses of water before breakfast
will be beneficial if kept up for
sometime. She gave directions
for removing pimples,' taking
care of the hands . and avoiding
wrinkles. She informed us that
no one need be bald headed who
took the proper care of the hair.
. Miss. Hutt next gave the ladies
some valu,ablehints oh canning.
- Mrs. Tillman then entertained
us for a short time about
'"Plants." ."'She suggested win
dow boxes for the home and
school room and school garden
She gave us a chariinz plan for
raising vegetables on a small
scale in the kitchen, in winter.
She told us to pull our weeds up
by the roots, send them to Ral
eigh and the State Dept. of Ag
riculture will send us a remedy
to rid ourselves of our trouble
some neighbors- Don't you like
the idea of those neighbors mov
ing away?
1 he bread brought to contest
for the prize was highly praised
by .Mrs. ' Hutt.' yThe prize was
awarded to Mrs. J.W. Jessup.
Mrs. Hutt is an able speaker
and f)er auditors were very at
tentive. We hope that next year
we may again have Mrs. Hutt
and Miss Tillman with us to tell
more about Health, Beauty and
Plants.

On Thursday. Feb. 2nd. 1911,
the Farmers' Institute held its
annual meeting in the town of
Rich Square. It was well attend
ed and much enjoyed by all pre3
enc i be large attendance ex
pressed the unbounded sympa
thy. with which this movements
has met within the past few
years. It was estimated that the
crowd of farmers numbered over
two hundred, in addition to their
wives and daughters.
The meeting, waa opened by a
most encouraging address by
Prof, VV. N. Hutt, State Horti
culturist, on " The Progress and
Benefits of the Farmers' Insti
tutes all over our Stata
ine second on tne programme
was a very instructive and inter
esting talk on "How to bring up
SoiL" The three essentials of
which are, 1. Application of Barn
yard Manure; 2, Liberal Distri
button of Commercial Fertilizer;
3, and mpst important was Turn
ing under of Green Crops, such
as rye, clover.peas, etc Further
more lime , was highly, recom
mended especially along withjthis
third essential. After this ad
dresl qy Mrv G. M. Garren, As
sist. Agronomist of the State De
partment of Agriculture, the
morning session Of the meeting
adjourned for the noon houY.
The afternoon .session was
opened by -Mr. - Hutt who - intro
duced MtesO. 1. Tillman, Bota
nist from the State Department
of Agriculture; who spoke on the
'Qualities of Seed." She strong
ly urged the farmer to be wise in
the choice of. his seed, and if
there is any doubt have the seed
tested or analyzed. If possible
but home-grown seed, so ' as to
keep out foreign weeds and grass
es which are more or less'' de
structive to our farm land. Miss
Tillman's lecture was instructive
and she .evidenced a knowledge
of the subject and an earnestness
that carried great weight.
The address of Miss Tillman
was followed by a very able dis
cussion of "Nut Growing in East
ern North Carolina," by Prof.
Hutt. He clearly showed how
this crop could be made very
profitable, and why it should, be
encouraged. ' According to his
statement, the pecan can be most
profitably grown in our climate.
He gave the many varieties,
pointing out the section to which
each was best suited, and gave
also full instructions as to the
manner of planting and cultivat
ing each' variety.
The last and one of the most
important of all, for the farmers
of this Congressional District.
was "The Proper Selection of
Seed Corn." This subject -was
discussed with great force by
Mr. E. a. Milisaps, representing
theU. S. Department of Agri
culture in the Farmers' Co-oper
ative Demonstration Work. He
showed the people where they
have been during the past, bow
they were just waking to
true sense of how to farm. .
the
The
selection i while growing, as well
as the selection after' harvesting
was "strongly advocated. First
select the kind of ' plants, i then
select the kind of ear produced
by these "plants. , '
f The last',thingon the day's
program ? was the inspection of
the samples of seed corn produc
ed toy the farmers in and around
Rich Square. : There were many
very fine sTiples of corn exhib
ge(; a prize of one dollar contrih-
uted by the Department ef Agri-
culture, 'it was said that this
exniDitea was tne nest seen at
any Institute held in North Car
olina, ftrid that each of the sam
pies deserved a prize, but since
only o$e could be given, it was
awarded to Mr. W. S. Hall since
his sample was nearest a uniform
shape and size. Mr. Hall was
the fortunate gentleman who trot
the prize of last year.
During the day there was
much uood advice which if fol
lowed will bring prosperity and
plenty to reign throughout our
much loved country, 'The Old
North State."

Mt.' .Carmel Baptist Church,

generally, deeply regret that Bro.
Cale should leave us so soon. He
served as pastor two years and
seven. months, and all of his ser
mons was strong, clear, and prac
tical, and full of pure gospel
truths: Therefore be it Resolved
lit That in his resignation we
feel- a very great loss in our
church and community, but we
believe he was led by the Holv
