PASTURES
(By A, H. Harris)
h Begin the preparation of the seed
for your permanent nasture." to" be
i seeded betwen- September 16th and
October 1st, and by no means later
l than October, 15th. The mixture that
I am .recommending to be sown in
this county is as 'follows: ,v , ';
Bye Grass Seed ....8 pounds.
Orchard Grass Seed ..8 pounds
, Herds Grass Seed -.8 pounds.'
Carpet Grass Seed.... 4 pounds'
Red Clover Seed ..i. 4 pounds.
White Clover Seed 4 pounds
Japan Clover Seed ..4 pounds. -Alsyke
Clover Seed ..4 pounds.
Total 44 Pounds per Acre
With a good seeding of the above
mixture on one acre of your farm,
one may expect green feed for their
stock practically the entire year for
three of 'four consecutive years. One
acre will graze approximately fifteen
nunarea pounds ol pork.
If you desire to put in an acre of
permanent pasture this fall, get in
touch with me immediately and I will
call to see you and assist you in your
undertaking. '
Several farmers in the county who
have decided that they will not let
the boll weevil beat them out,, but
will .diversify their crops, and will
revolutionize their old systems of
farming, have already got busy and
are making preparations to seed a
permnent pasture this fall, which
Carraway and L. C. Carroll. 'There
are others who are anticipating this
same thing that, will start nex week.
Due to the fact that a large ma.
jority of the farmers have had their
hogs, immunized against cholera, it
is my impression that we have got
the fatal malady under control. On
travels over, the county last week, I
did not hear of new out-breaks el the
disease. '
Calls are still coming' into my office
for this particular kirfd of work but
they are not near so numerous as
they' were a few weeks ago.
Farmers who have work done this
week are:
Messrs J. B. Morton, W. R, Powell,
G. M. Whitley, Melvin Hardy, Roy
Taylor, D. B. Garner, and C. T. Bell.
Damage ffom the boll weevil, is
rapiclly increasing each week through,
out the' county. They have s firm,
grasp on all the cotton farmers from
one end of the county, to the other.
Farmer. Friends, dn't let this pest
overcome yqu. cnange your systems
of farming before they force you to
and the .result will be, mney, saved
for you.' ' . 1 "

of the Regular army for the current
fiscal year will be only v45 per cent
of its actual strength mr 1920. ' Its
enlisted strength for the current year
under appropriations' allowed 5! it. by
the '- Congress will be 125,000 men.
Thii is 155,000 less than its strength
in 1920 and is 102,000 less than its
strength, in 1916.. These figures In

addressed a letter to the school com.

the matter and is published

County: ;-
Winship, editor of the Journal
of Education published in Boston,
Mas!., recently said to an audience of
VirFiniS ' Scbool Teachers" that. " he
wisl)4 ,tol !fjoin the people of Vir
gin., along with the people of his
own State, Massachusetts, to make
a dtiperate effort in educational en
deavor in order that they might be
ableVto keep in sight of 'the tail end
of educational progress in North
Carolina. The work done in this
Stan during the past few years has
attracted attention alt .over the coun
try.i. . , , . v.;
4'Wilson county has probably made
greater strides than any other county
ii the State in rural education. That
county bas attracted ' attention far
and wide as having' the best rural,
schools in North Carolina. '
... I 49 ot believe that Wilson coun
ty can do anything that this county
caimt do. I should like' lo aee, these
schools myself and go through them
when they Sre in session see4ow they
teach," how they manage ': their ajhil-
drehw and if . that county has some-
is better than ours, I should like for
us to bring the idea with us and put
it to wqrk for our children.
IhVmaking this trip through these
schools I should like to have all the
committemen of Carteret County go'
with me. I would like for you to see
these schools and pass your opinion
on them. I am sure that you want the
best educational advantages for your
children that can be had. If, you
think the children of that county are
aving better advantages than ' ours,
then let's learn what we can while
there and bring home with us and
put it to work here for ourselves.
With this idea in view, I have been
wondering Jf we could plan a trip to
that county sometime in October and
see those schools, in operation. We
nave more than one hundred commit
teemen hi the county end it may ee
impossible to take every committee
man from each district ' In cass we
cculd not you could elect one member
from your committee to go in the ca
pacity of a representative from your
school.
This would be about a three day
trip. "Jit would take one day to go
one day to rejturn and we want one
full day in the schools of the county.
' The thing that has worried me in
planning the trip is how to financs it.
I believe we, have a plan worked out
whereby it can be done without its
costing the county but very little and
will cost each member of the com
mittees who go very little or nothing.
I sm anxious to know, how many
committeemen are interested in a
trip of this kind and would go if It
were made possible. We must know
this in order to know how to make our
plans. I am going to' ask you to
please All in the blank below and re
turn to me fct once. I . will then
know how to'plan the trip and wheth

CONDITIONS FOR LAST
weeiC' '';t ;.
f RALEIGH, 'Sept. 9 At : last the
rains have subsided in many eastern
counties and in is few days the reads
have become, quite dusty from Car
teret ' westward. : . Rains continue in
the northeast, but have been need
ed in the Piedmont or central coun
tie. The best conditions exist front
Nash and Johnston to Cherokee, The
worst area was from Hertford through
Greene and Craven. ''
GRAINS The land is reported as
so, dry that little preparation has
been made for fall sowing, except in
spotted areas. This . year's wheat
was in the" main "poor. : Thrashing is
about completed. Yields are low
er than usual," l;v '
Dry weather has damaged upland
corn, in the Piedmont counties, while
damage . in the ; bottoms and coastal
counties from too much rsin is gen
eral. Low land corn has made con
siderable improvement and ; recent
rains were fine on the late plantd
crop; - '
' COTTOK-Cotton is shedding heav.
ily and the crop is short everywhere.
The Boll Weevil is plentiful in-all
southern counties and the crop has
been consideraby damaged. ' Bloom
ing is negligible; ; 'J ' ":-
RAY' AND GRASSES The sea
son seems to have unusually favor
able fpr the growth of grasses and

State show ' splendid crop. Some
eastern counties complain ' of too
much grassn crps. -

es are rather short and the quality
of the crop this year was poor.
Crops in general are about Sn av
erage, but are especially good where
seasons have been favorable; Poor
in the coastal area. '' . v, vr ;
LIVE STOCK More interest is
being taken in the eastern counties
in raising hogs, and the condition of
all live stock is good this season.
FARM ACTIVITIES Prejira
tion for fall sowing is under way.
Farmers are stripping fodder, a lot
of it has been damaged in the east
by frequent rains, much interest is
being taken in community s fairs.
Farmers becoming more interested in

NUMBiER THIRTY SEVEN
SEWER WORK IS
; , : GOING AHEAD
Before Many Months Beaufort1
WUl Have Fine Water and
Sewerage Facilities'
Indicaitons now point to the fact'
that, ere many months have passed
Besufort will have as modern a sys
tem of sewerage and r as complete a
one as any; tow'nin the State. When
finished the sewer lines will b e ! in
reach of ninety per cent of the popu-'
latlon and even what few are left out. ,
side can be added later on when eon-
ditions Justify the expense;'-. ' .
The estimated number of feet in the N
sewer lines as they will be when fin- '
ished is 17,400 feet. The engineer's
report shows that up to and including
last Friday 11,915 feet of terra cotta
pipe and 175 feet of .16 inch iron '
pipe have been laid The latter is
tiie outlet ending at Jones' Rock just j
norm oi the railroad bridge. Be
sides this outlet there are three oth. ,
ers; a 12 inch' one !at the foot of 1
Marsh Street and 8 inch ones at ,
Craven and Orange streets. ' A nunw t
bet of automatic flush ; tanks ' have ;
been installed which serve to flush (
the lines witb wster and keep them "
clean. . . ' .
According to the engineer's figure
up to September the irst $32,822.09 .
have , been spent in the sewer work
end more than 60 per cent, of it has
been completed. Some of the ' most
difficult parts of the job such as that v
on Turner street have been finished.
On Turner street the lines are laid at
a depth of 9 feet. .' The line put there
a few years ago by Mfchler and Flynn
is from 16 to 18 feet deep. The old
line was very deep on Ann street al ;
so, considerably deeper than the pew -one.
The -old sewer construction cost
sbout $40,000 and as very little of
it can be used now it Is almost a com
plete lossv., fr-'."i'v-v -rf'
A new electric pump has been re
ceivedjand will be used for pumping
wster. This pump developes 150 '
pounds of pressure and will pump
water at the rate of 250 gallons a
minute. All of the water pipes both
new and old will .be tested out with
this pump and if any leaks develope
they will be repaired. In east of firs
the pump will be kept going and will
be very valuable in such an emergen-"
cy. , . ; y-y-y
The construction of the sewersgs ,
plant began in the latter part of April '
Owing to unusually heavy rains du-
ring the Summer, work has gone for- '
wsrd under difficulties," nevertheless
good progress has been made. The "'
good weather cf the past two weeks "
have helped matters considerably and
it is expected that the construction
will proceed rapidly from now until ,
its completion. y ' .
, The News man knows but little a
bout engineering but after an inspec
tion of the work feels inclined to '
think that the town la getting a good
J.L I- . .
job. As is generally known the
board of commissioners employed the
J. B. McCrary Company ef Atlanta
to do the work on a percentage basis, ;
The compsny could gain nothing by
doing a poor job and of course their
reputation would be injured if. they
did such sv thing, The men in' charge
