Our membership is drawn from those farmers who are convinced that seed grown and selected in North Caro lina are the best that can be secured for use in this state and their. conclusions are amply justified by the great number of—firsts that have been made with cot ton. corn, wheat, oats, rye aud soybeans." Dr. Winters .states that the associa tion was organized primarily for the purpose of bringing these seed breeders together to, discuss problems of mutual interest and to secure benefit and en thusiasm front' the experience of others. Amtfher important thing that the asso ciation does. Dr. Winters asserted, is to bring the growers inti* closer touch with the seed breeding work being conducted by the agricultural workers of the State College staff. "This work under the leadership of I)r. Winters is the most ex tensive program of its kind’to be found in any sfate of the south and has caused many other experiment statitous to un dertake similar activity," according to a Department announcement.

MEREDITH Senator Maintains Fanner Is Getting IvCtss For Crop Today Than at Any Other Time. Indianapolis. Inti.. Junly 3ft. —Senator S. W. Brookhart in an interview yester day, took issue with E. T. Meredith, for mer secretary of Agriculture, on the ag ricultural situation, by maintaining that tlie grain farmer is receiving less today for.his crop than in any time in history, considering the purchasing power of the farmer's dollar. He said he agreed with Senator LaFol lette who asserted Friday' that price fix ing is not the remedy for the troubles on the farm. Senator Brookhart took the position that tlie creating of a bureau of farm agency does not mean fixing of prices. Mr. Meredith in his statement given to the Associated Press Saturday, dis counted the slump in the prices of wheat. He said this was offset by higher prices for oats and other grains.

Mineral production in North Carolina, while not the leading' industry of the state, is rated as of importance among the minor industries. Seventy-one companies employing various numbers of men are constantly employed in taking from the earth va rious numbers of minemarls. The production of granite in 1921, considered from a financial standpoint, was the most important of the miner al industries. The total value of this product for that vear was $1,820,p18. Coming second was the production of sand and gravel valued at $1,666,161. Most of this was used for the roadbuilding program of the state. During the same year 82 ounces of gold valued at SISOO and 13 ounces of silver valued at $13.00 were taken from the earth. 23,438 tons of cQal were mined during the year with a total value of $140,628. The small production of this prod uct was due to most of the year being spent in sinking new shafts and in prospecting for additional coal fields. 230*532 tons of sheet mica and 1,3.52 tons of scrap mica were mined during the same period, with a total value of $82,34:.. An unusual product for this section of the country was talc and soapstone of which 606 tons mined, valued at $7,250.

The ninety-six per cent below starnl ; anl. or approximately 5)6.000.000, seem likely to increase to 98,000.009. and the . 4.000.000 decrease to 3,0000,000., Dr. von KleinSinid declared. The primary work of the college or | university is to deal with the 4,000,000 and to train the people of superior in telligence that they may become leaders in the future. ‘•Frankly. I do not know who shall come to college," Dr. von KleinSinid said. "I am at loss to accept any kind of a criterion which shall limit college entrance to any group. Be the tests of the future what they may, the ideal of the college must be to conserve the intellectual ideas and to pass them on so that they may send out leaders for the generations to come” 1 August was once known as Sextilis, or the sixth month, the new year then beginning in March.
