SUCCESSFUL fAHMIKO.
Management and pluck nearly
always turn gloom into joy and
success. The man who attains
distinction is the man who
snatches victory from defeat,
when trials are exasperating,
when too many said "give up,"
"things are ruined." Too much
rr.in early in the spring, no doubt,
has put a dampening spell upon
the spirit cf the farmer, but it
chould not. A good crop can
easily be made yet,—corn and cot
t ;n. Land planted now is not
likely to be water logged but
with moisture, which we have,
and heat which we have, and
work, the chances are favorable
to overcome a short crop by
planting now. I have seen good
corn planted now. 1 have seen
good corn planted in June from
ordinary Texas raised seed from
common corn, through I believe
Northern corn planted would be
better, as it matures quicker.
The risk is not great and suc
ceeding will put you a long way
ahead. Generally a failure in
one season is nature's prepara
tion for future success. If
spring planted Irish potatoes do
not make much of a crop you can
depend upon it that conditions
for all crops will be better than
usual. Taking advantage of ex
tremes will put you in the lead.
Stonewall Jackson forced the
fighting when others had left the
field, marked him with glory.
I have planted cotton June 13
and made three-quarters of a
barrel to the acre, when chopped
cotton at that time hardly made
a half-bale on land better than
mine.
1 have planted ootton, in boll
weevil times, the luch of July
and made a third of a bale to the
acre with half as much work as
a spring planted crop. The risk
is not much, if any, greater than
a spring planted crop and does
net cost as much money or work.

New Disease Of E?e_
Discovered In State
Thirty-five cases of trachoma,
a rare disease of the eye, were
discovered in North Carolina as
the result of an investigation by
the United States Public Health
Service. Dr. A. I). Foster, of
this service, was detailed to make
a complete investigation in this
state. He worked all the winter
and well into the spring, visiting
on his tour of the state seventy
one white schools and thirteen
colored scools. He. examined
over 12,000 pupil-?.
Of ihe thirteen eases found in
North Carolina, eighteen were
found among 207 pupils examin
ed at the Indian school at Chero
kee, Swain county. The heavi
est infection among the white
was in Caldwell county, while
lighter infections were found in
Cherokee and Mitchell counties.
Only one negio was found to
have trachoma. That case was
one of the pupils at the State
School for the Biind, at Raleigh.
This case came from Wilson.
Trachoma is -a disease of the
eyes' and eyelids. It is usually
contracted by usuing the same
towel, soap or wash basin using
by a person having trachoma.
The disease is rather prevalent
among certain foreigners who
come to this country. Recenly
it has been found to be quite pre
valent in the mountainous parts
of Kentuckey, Tennessee, Virgin
ia, and West Virginia. Hence
the investigation in North and
South Carolina.
Dr. Foster's conclusions re
garding trachoma are:
1. That it exists to seme ex
tent in several isolated mounia
ii.ojssect.ians of North Carolina.
2. That only in the Cherokee
Indian school had measures been
tal en to determine of the disease
an 1 control its spread.
'■). That foreign immigration
played little or no part in intro
ducing trachoma here.
4.. That the negro is practi
cally free from the disease.
5. That present cases should
be treated to prevent further
spread of the disease.
