FARMERS" INSTITUTES.
How to Make Them More . Interesting
—Written by R. P. McAnally at
the Request of Prof. Tait
Butler.
Saxon, Jan. 1.
Hon. Tait Butler,
Raleigh, N. C.
iSear Sir :—Replying to yours
of Nov. 15th, I beg to make two
suggestions regarding Farmers In
stitutes or experiment station work
for this year. First, since it is j
claimed (Voohers in his book on j
"Fertilizers" page 2(7) that "the
mantle new going to waste on 0111
farma is' equal iii value to ten
timoß the amount »ve pay t'or com
mercial Fertilisers," this bei. g
( true and due to the want of know
ledge by omr farmers regarding j
the for saving manure,!
would it not result in much more |
good for you Experiment Station)
people to turn your attention and
time to this line of information
and leave off if necessary entirely
the Fertilizer control work as it is
of only one tontli the importance
to tis. Farmers, this is the way I
ancl many thousands of farmers ;
through North Carolina look at
the Experiment Station work; you
are leaving undone work that is of
very'great information to us and
doing a great ileal of work that
never gets down to our level. Give
us plaps for horto and cow stables
and hog pens and chicken houses
not especially for the farmer who
cultivates his lt-KT acres or nitire
ev j. "•■! .f HtooM.M
plan faTtl e'nian who keeps onl)
one male,, quo cow a cop pie of
hogs and a dozen hq;is and then
the two horse man can double
plans so they will fit him, then I
you will have come home to us
and have put yourself and work
in position to do the greatest good .
to the greatest number. My sec- i
ond suggestion is this: it is an 1111- 1
settled question as to what it costs '
us to grow our principal crops: j
nobody knows what it actually j
costs to grow a bale of cotton; the
average 100 pounds of tobacco; a
bushel of corn, wheat, or potatoes
No we don't even know what it j
costs our average one and two j
horse farmer to grow an acre of i
the crops wej grow every year.
Now my suggestion is that you !
Experiment Station people look I
into this matter; it might persuade j
the American Tobacco Company
to give us at least cost for our to- |
bacco besides help us to know ■
more of our bn sin ess than we now i
know.
The question will perhaps be !
asked how could you get at the j
true cost of growing crops" by the j
average farmer? I 1 iow it cannot
be done on the experiment station ,
farms because your labor is too I
expensive, and plot work is rot \
comparable to field conditions,
and is a consequence you must go
to the country farm and get the
facts, select representative farm
ing districts for the various crops
say one, two or more amonrr the
truckers of eastern North Caro
lina several then where cotton is |
the money crop, then more in the j
tobacco belt, have a practical 1
farmer or representation of the ]
experiment station in each of
these districts and let him select |
say a half dozen average farms
near him whoso owners will agree :
to give labor reports cost expend
ed and all data relating to the 1
crops of all kinds. Let your
special agent visit his half dozen 1
farms at least three times a week
and take the reports of what Imr \
been done Bince last visit, how the
fields in the various crops payed !
and know what it cost per acre,
then we will know what wo are
doing and not till then.
, Respectfully,
R. P. McANALLY.
I MISS BERTIE BOWLES KILLED.
Went Into an Old Eu.lding When
It Fell. Breaking the Young
Lady's Neck—Death of Mrs.
Gaston Allen, North
V of Germanton.
(rermanton, Jan. (>. —Miss Bertie
Bowles, daughter of Mr. Burges6
Bowles, who resides on the farm
of Mr. (Inston Allen, six miles
north of this place, met, with a
sudden and sad death last Thurs
day.
M iss ljowle3. who was a estima
ble young lady and 17 years old,
was i i an old building, formerly
used as a kitchen, when tlia wind
; blew it down. Sowtfof the tim
bers fell on her, breaking her
nock and causing instant death.
Mrs. Allen, wife of own
er of the lard on which Miss
Bowles was killed, also'died Thurs
day of typhoid fever. Her age was
about .'55 years.
Mrs. Allen and Miss Bowles
were laid to rest yesterday in the
graveyard nt Friendship, near
German ton.
SANDY RIDGE.
Sandy mdge, Jan. 4.—Misses
Kate and Jennie Ilntclierson re
turned to school at Winston Mon
day after spending Christmas at
their home,
Mr. and jfrs. 11. L. Nolson gave
a dance Monday night, which was
i a most enjoyable event.
Mr. and Mrs. M. P. French, oi
Cornell, (Hdiv., are spending some
: tune w;t h" rclal ivos h re. Mr. and
j Mrs. French and Mr. 11, C. Thomp
son spent Saturday and Sunday
with relatives in Virginia. They
, report 21 r. D. A. \ ernon very low
which will be a regret to his many
friends in Stokes.
We think one of ou v consistent
members ul the church broke over
Christmas. Last year she was
hoard to remark that she consider
ed it an insult to be invited to a
dance but this time sho came in
(>. K. She not only was invited
i but attended a dance and after-
I wards went down in Rockingham
to one./ (Jiris, don't let the old
j widowers lead you as. ly.
Mr. Robt. Hutcherson, of May
berry, W . \ a., spent Christmas
with relatives here.
We think that two more of our
girls are getting very anxious as
thoy didn t only meet their young
men on half way grounds, but in
fact they carried them home in a
two horse wagon and spent a few
days. Wed out blame you though
girls for it's real dangerous for
those two boys to ride horse
back along t ho roads, especially in
Christmas when people have
stock on the roads. Now, dears
don't get mad for people in glass
houses shouldn't throw stones you
know and we haven't forgotten
I what "WeltH" wrote about two
girls about three weeks
ago.
Misses Lillio and Jessie Joyce
wont home with the Price boys and
spent the latter part of Christmas.
We guess Prices were not quite
so high this Christmas as last as
they eouldn t atford to attend but
oue dance on Sandy llidge, but
wanted to hasten to dear old Rock
ingham where they didn't have to'
| pay for music and their sweet
hearts like good little girls carried
them home. Boys, don't come to
Sandy Ridge without bringing
some money along if you expect
to dance, ( i. e. if you have any.)
