The clean-up campaign which is to be conducted
throughout North Carolina April 15-20 promises
in every way to be a conspicuous success. Not on- I
ly will the campaign be conducted this year in the
towns but in the country districts as well. It is
proposed to make the movement a general one and
most effective in cleaning out waste and debris of
all kinds that will in any way increase the fire haz-

most excellent move for the farm homes will be
greatly benefitted. We understand that the peo- i
pie m rural aistricts are already taking keen in
terest in this clean-up week movement and the
town must look to her laurels unless those residing
outside no not show them a thing or two during
clean-up week.
It begins to look as if the most general cleaning
ever conducted in the state is now assured. Lets
all get together and make Greenville and Pitt
county delightful spots to dwell.

AMERICAN TRADE MARK.
An American trade-mark, or general industrial
en blem, is provided for in a bill introduced in
Congress by Congressman T. W. Sims, Tennessee,
chairman of the Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee. The measure is good, so good
that one wonders an emblem of this kind has not
been legalized before now. A national mark
would be a trade getter in foreign countries. It
could be made to be a guarantee of goodness, a
pledge of merit. It would be valuable to use at
home, an inducement in the future to treasure
Americanmade products as much as we have here
tofore valued import badges on our hats, cutlery,
china, etc. Such an emblem, however, should be
limited strictly to goods made wholly in the United-States,
and penalties should be attached to the
bill for infraction of the rule. The trade-mark,
too, should be invariable, with possibly sufficient
exception to permit naming the state or place of
manufacture.
IMPORTANT SOUTHERN CROP
When southern planters and farmers generally
realized that a, diversion of crops was necessary
attention was directed to the possibilities of the
peanut. The cultivation of the ground nut was
t(: sun, at first on a limited scale, the extent of the
demand for the product being to a large degree
problematical. Then came the increased demand
for edible vegetable oils, and the goober sudden
ly assumed large importance. According to sta
tistics gathered by a trade journal the value of the
