A year of unusual prosper. ty for the farmars of the state, a "red letter year," Maj. W. A. Gra ham, commissioner of agriculture, calls it, is referred to in the annual re port of the commissioner of agricul ture, made to the board today. Es pecially in food crops, ihe commiss ioner declares, has the year been no table, and " the farmers are in batter condition than ever before in their history." Maj. Graham's report was made to the board today at the regular De cember meeting. Matters of finance will engross the attention of the board for the remainder of the week. Sal aries will be passed upon and other de tails of finance adjusted. This fine condition of farmers, Com missioner Graham says, has been reached by their adopting largely the advice which the department for fifteen years has urged upon their at tention "to raise on i:.e larm the provisions necessary for its mainten ance." "This year the wheat crop will afford about 180 pounds of flour for every man, woman and child in the state," says the report, "if we estimate the population at 4,400,000. The peo ple can not consume this amount and there will be flour to export, as there will be of tobacco, corn, potatoes, Irish and sweet, and ground peas. "With individuals, families, commu nities, states and nations, a supply of rations is the most important item. The body may suffer for raiment, the mind for thought, but without food to nourish the body, life will become ex tinct and the mind and body cease, or the body will be so uncomfortable that it is tueless. Happy is the man, the family, the community or the state that can provide a sufficiency of food i for its requirements. ' Better Than Ever "Recognizing this, it has been the aim of the agricultural department to persuade the people or "us stats to produce an adequate supn:y of food for the needs of its people; not only Jjecauso it is necessary, but because . they can do it more economically than they can produce the funds ne cessary to produce it. It is not con tended that each man should actually ' raise the identical food that he re quires for himself or his family's sup port, unless he is a farmer; then it is A sine qua non and unless he does it, he will find it more profitable to turn his attention to sorao c.;ier calling. The present prosperouj era In North Carolina i3 because th-j farmers are In good condition, better tnan they ELECT NEW OFFICERS Hickory Lodge, No. 206, I. O. O.

HICKORY ODD FELLOWS Fail to Discover Cause of Fatal Explosion in Hagley Plant of Dupont Company (By Associated Press.) Wilmington, Del., Dec. 1. Although a formal investigation into the dis aster was started by the Dupont Pow der Company immediately after the explosion which caused the death of 21 vinrVmPTi sr,A th Se.aUS IniUrV Of six others in the company's Hagley yard yesterday, nothing of a tangible nature had been discovered. Every employe who v.-as near tne building that was destroyed was put through a thorough examination but nothing was elicited. Not one of those in the building escaped. The investi gators do not hope that the origin of the explosion ever will be determined. Report that notices had been nail ed to trees and fences leading to the iHtpont plant at upper Hagley and Carney's Point warning employes of Teutonic origin that they were im perilling their lives if they continued to work were being investigated to day. Not much credence was attach ed to the notices. Men vho came in the direction of the plant reported seeing them. ' " The theory widely accepted, was that the explosion was, caused by a horse's shoo striking a stone or by a spark from a pulley in the powder foom.

A happy contented yeomanry is a country's pride. This can only be supplied by contented homes, and this from sufficiency oi food, as generally expressed by a full dinner pail. "Every man can not raise the food in kind necessary for his family, nor is it desirable that he should while bread is the staff of life, there are many other things necessary to the comfort of mankind and even to aid the farmer in the production of his crops. Experience and political econ omy teaches us that it would not be well for each individual to endeavor tc suppiy by personal labor his needs, but let someone who understands the manufacture of the "oods or the con duct of the business do this work ant buy his food from the farmer, anc the farmer use other men for his benefit when he requires their services; hence the farmer must have more than that which will supply his own needs.

Take the cotton crop. When it is ascertained that there is a crop beyond present requirements, we heai of plans to relieve the situation by raising funds to retir a portion of the crop; but the farrier has learnec that nothing permanent has ever been evolved by this course, but that the only way which will accomplish any thing is for each larmer to own his crop when it is made anu Te able to sell or hold as the market suits him The greatest move in this direction in our history has been made this year, and North Carolina leads in it. We hear of no farmers passing around the hat with the disgraceful appeal, '1 raised too much cotton j please chip in a quarter.' "The trouble has been that many of those who would lead in this mat ter do not comprehenu trie capacity of those they would benefit, but, shoot entirely over their heads. It is not what could be done and probably will be done, but what should oe done now. It is the North Carolina of today and not of tomorrow that confronts us.

It was the worst accident that has occurred in any of the company's plants in a quarter of a century. The cause of the blast is not known, and according to a company statement, the origin "will probably always remain a mystery." Never-, theless an investigation has been in stituted by the officials of the com pany. Nearly all the victims of the blast were young men between 16 and 21 years of age. Most of them lived in and about Wilmington. The explosion occurred in a small packing pdusfe ' where 1 black powder pellets. " ape ptepared for' shipment to the Warring nations.

Florida Times Union, ENGLISHMEN IN LONDON SENATOR GARDNER NO VERDICT YET IN WATSON CASE ROMANIA OeTwaitig TO JOIN ENTENTE ALLIES Concentration of 500,000 Troops in Balkans will be Signal for Ultimatum to Austria Russia Confident of Shattering German Defense in East. (By Associated Press.) London, Dec. 1. Roumania will deLver an ultima-am to Aus tria as soon as the entente allies concentrate 500,000 men in the Balkans, it is reported in Bucha rest, says a Central News dis patch from that city. (By Associated Press.) London, Dec. 1. The Balkan states continue to dominate both the mili tary and di- lomatic situations. Rou- mania's attitude toward tlie centra1 powers, while Greece's refusal to ac cord the entente allies arirestricted use of facilities at Saloniki, continue to worry both sides. Kouman a is said to Tie o::y await ing a preponderant military force ir the Balkans before dispatching an ul- .matum to Austria and German mili tary critics, according to reports frcm Berlin, express dissatisfaction witi the m litary and diplomatic difficul ties ahead, despite the brilliant victo ries of Field Marshal von Mackensen. Moreover, it is reported that Austrian statesmen are opposed to German do mination in the Balkan states, and that this was responsible for sevtr. resignations. Greece steadfastly refuses to con cede the entente demands for the un restricted use of the Greek port oi balon.ki as a base ai.c rartnermore eciines to move her army from Ma cedonia. Except for the capture of Prisrend by the Bulgarians, there has been no marked change in tht Serbian mili tary situation.

Washington, Dec. 1. Democrats of the senate in caucus today failed to reach an agreement to provide for cloture of debate, postponing action until tomorrow. The spec.al rules committee was not ready to make any definite recommendation. The caucus also deferred action on the election of a president pro tempore. Senator Kern, conference chairman, said the election was de ferred by common consent. Several senators have opposed Senator Clark of Arkansas and have sought to in duce Senator Pomerene of Ohio to be a candidate. On the steering committee Sena tor Kern named Senators Martin, Thomas, Williams, O'Gorman and Reed. Senators Luke Lea, Hoke Smith and Clark of Arkansas retire from the committee.

German papers state that Field Marshal von Mackensen's army with Bulgarians and Turks is to be direct ad against the Anglo-French forces in the south, but doubtless many of them are going down the Danube to meet the Russian menace. The pub lic is expecting every day to hear of the movement of the Russ.an army, vhich the emperor recently review ed in Bessarabia, but apparently the legotiations with Roumania for the ise of the Danube have not been con cluded. A Budapest report goes so ar as to say that Roumania has re used permission to the Russians to :se the river through Roumanian ter ritory, which would be the most con enient route for an attack on west rn Bulgaria. There also seems to be seme h.tch in the allies' negotiations with Greece for nothing is yet fortTicomrng as to the latter country's reply to the latest cmanus for guarantees cr safety and acilities for the entente. armies op rating near the Greek frontier. The .reek reply was exp-rtjo yesterday nd the delay in its receipt leads t he supposit on that the Greek cabi net is not prepared to go as far as the entente powers desire. Artillery, grenade throwers, miners, sappers and airmen continue their ac tivity on the western front, and Brit ish monitors also are making things lively for the Germans along the Bel gian coast. The Russians by a eotrnter-attack 'n the region of Illoukst have driven Field Marshal von Hindenburg's men a little further from the Dvina river. These, however, are only incidents, ioubtless undertaken to test the 3trength of the opposing forces. respondence on the subject by letter or by cable likewise has formally been turned over to the German govern ment's embassy. The cablegrams were in the German naval code and when it was thought there was dan ger of their becoming public through this trial and thus revealing to Eng land, France and Russia the secrets of the German government, the docu ments were surrendered, Doctor Buenz said. Raids today, General Funston said he could :iot believe Villa really contemplated any such hazardous untlertaxlng.
