lis" how m AMOUNTS THAT CAN BE OBTAIN ED IN NORTH CAROLINA FOR AGRICULTURE. . I -.11 DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple Gathered Around the State Capitol. Raleigh. Washington The maximum amount North Carolina can receive under the Smith-Lever Co-Operative Agricultural Extension act for the fiscal year 1914 15 is $10,000; for 1915-16, $32,953; 1916- 17, $52,081. For 1917-18, 1918-19, 1919-20, 1920-21 and 1921-22 and each year the amount of $19,127 to the to tal for - the immediately preceding year. For 1922-23 and thereafter $166,846 wil be provided. The act provides that each state must duplicate all' Federal money above $10,000 a year. In explaining the appropriation the department of agricultures ays: The act first appropriates $480,000 annually, beginning with 1914-15, and gives each state $10,000 for each fiscal year -as-a basic fund. The act then appropriates addition al Federal moneys to be distributed in the proportion of rural population. To share in these additional fnuds the Btate must dpulicate the additional money thus received. The additoinal appropriations are as follows: 1915 16, $600,000; 1916-17, $1,100,000; 1917- 18, $1,600,000; 1918-19, $2,100, 000; 1919-20, $2,000,000; 1920-21-, $3, 100,000; 1921-22, $3,600,000; 1922-23, and thereafter, $4,100,000. It will be noUced that after 1915-16 the total appropriation is increased each year by $500,000. The fifth column in the table shows the amount of each additional $500,000 that the state is entitled to receive. To get the amount that any state is entitled to receive for any fiscal year from 1$17 to 1922 add the amount given in the table to the total ior the immedi ate preceding year. Example: .Ala bama, in 1917-18 will receive $49,404 plus $17,911 equals $67,315; for 1918- J.9 Alabama will receive $67,315 plus $17,911 equals $85,226'; and so on until the maximum given under the column 1922-23 is reached. The totals for each state contain the basic $10,000 granted each year. To obtain the amount that the state would" have to duplicate in any year to receive its entire Federal quota, si: ract $10,000 from the total. Ex ample: The amount Alabama would -have to duplicate in 1917-18 is $67, 315 minus $10,000, or $57,315. North Carolina Editors Prepare.

It was an inspiring story of the heroism and sacrifices made by the North Carolina women of the Confederacy. At the monument J. A. Long, chair man of the Memorial Commission, in brief, fitting remarks; presented the monument to the state, addressing Governor Craig for this purpose. He paid a most fitting tribute to Ashley Home who made the monument pos sible, depicting him as having loved the South and especially North Caro lina and having admired most of all that type of life found in the South ern women. The speech of acceptance was by Governor Locke Craig, who declared that the state accepts it with most grateful appreciation as the tribute of a knightly soldier to the women of the Confederacy. The statue, he said, is an epic with heroism and devotion as its theme. Prepare "Instruction Camp.

A Fine LitfcJe (By JOHN ROONEY.) f We have a little farm of 15 acres just outside the city limits. Of this a road takes -up 120 rods and two houses and barns one acre. Four acres are in orchard and one and one-half acres in small fruits; 150 of our trees have, only been set five years. Five acres slope to the north and the rest south and east, with a slope of about 12 inches to the rod. We plow about six inches deep. I would prefer eight inches, but cannot get it done as I am an invalid, confined to my bed and cannot have direct supervision of the work. - We back furrow all our land up and down the slope, and never plow cross wise. We leave two rods on each end to turn on. This is in grass, which we cut for hay. The orchard is also' in grass between the trees north and south. We cut most of our grass for the horse, two cows, four pigs and 75 hens. We grow carrots for feed for the cows instead of bran. The . other heavy feed is corn. We have no pas ture and so feed in barn and yard. I cannot keep account of the fruit and vegetables we use, as my son's family live on the place, making nine of us altogether, of whom five are chil dren under eleven years of age. I pay the children for their work, but charge them nothing for butter. DEVICES SAVE LABOR AUTOMOBILE, WITH TONNEAU REMOVED, MADE USEFUL. On Every Farm Most Modern Machin ery Always Finds Flattering Appre ciation and Ready Application Interests Boys. I knew a progressive orchardist who developed a very good direct fruit trade in a region where formerly all the fruit that was purchased came from California, and he did this en tirely by the use of his automobile. He removed the tonneau and used a body fitted with racks for the bas kets. His local roads were very good, and he was able to pick the fruit when the dew of early morning was on it and to deliver it to his customers in three neighboring towns in a radius of fifteen miles by mid-morning. Leading dairy farms that formerly wasted horse and man labor in con veying their airy products to the railroad are today profitably operating, motor trucks. The motor has vitally increased the efficiency of man, and with the machine maintained under good conditions its operator can per form as much work as three ordinary teams and drivers formerly did. The automobile's "colt," the motorcycle, should particularly recommend itself to the agricultural public, for on ev ery farm the most modern machinery always finds flattering appreciation and ready application. Power Machinery Interests Boy. I have frequently talked with many farmers' sons who ascribe their keen Interest in the old homestead to the BASKETS FOR BERRY PICKING Most Popular Size Is Eight-Box Car rier, Two Styles of Which Are Shown In IJ lustration. For picking berries a considerable variety of box carriers have been used ii various parts of the country. Some growers prefer a foiir-box carrier made of a flat piece of wood with shallow si4es and provided with a handle. The objection to this size is that it de- . ..

Perhaps . the most c popular size is the t eight-box carrier, two styles of which are herewith Illustrated, says Farm of 15 Acres. milk, fruit or vegetables. From the products last year we sold: r. v Potatoes $ 75.00 Corn 20.00 Red raspberries 245.00 Strawberries ; . . . . 5.75 Cherries 22.60 Currants 2340 Plums 16.00 Sweet corn 17.80 Grapes 4.20 Vegetables 14 35 Pop corn 5.00 Apples ..........

We have more corn in the crib, 50 bushels more potatoes and three tons more hay than we had a year ago, and hope to do better tbis season, as we hope to have better help. We believe that no one should be satisfied with less than 100 bushels e helled corn to the acre. fact that power machinery, including the automobile, motor truck, motor cycle, gasoline engine and farm light ing or watering system, has been placed in their charge. Farmers the country over who utilize the automo bile for both pleasure -and business purposes are of the staple, conserva tive type. A Wisconsin farm boy uses a rack attached to the rear frame of his mo torcycle, in which he is able to carry two milk cans and several bags of feedf or seed. The motorcycle is of ines timable value in running errands, in getting repairs quickly done when a machine of any sort breaks down or as a means of calling the doctor in case of sickness where telephonic facilities are unavailable. As the motor truck and its smaller brethren deserve much commendable consideration out of doors, so the elec tric washing machine, the electric flat iron and toafcter merit as much atten tion within the country home. A Min nesota suburbanite is sponsor for a home-made refrigerator that fittingly could be duplicated in every country home. By the use of a series of coiled pipes that penetrate his ice chest he is able to maintain a constant flow of water through the refrigerator from his artesian well. Success With" Calves. The secret of successful calf raising lies in keeping the calf's digestive or gans in perfect shape. To? do this avoid sudden changes, either in feed ing or management'. Feed warm milk from clean pails, but do not feed -too much. Clean, sunny quarters, with exercise and clean and wholesome food fed in proper amounts at the proper time will lessen the number of weak calves, and produce heifers which will develop into vigorous cows.

The chief disadvantage in connection with carriers of this size Is that un less,the pickers cover their boxes with foliage as fast as fllled the fruit in th first-filled ones is kept too long in the hot sun and thus suffers injury from the heat It should be a rule, there fore, in every strawberry field in which large-sized carriers are used to'cover the fruit immediately as each; box is filled and then gather .it up when eight boxes i are; read.- - "::: -vV " A California judge says the mV er has i thajexclusive right to nameth" baby.

There is nothing shrinking and modest about this style of violet. Nor it might be added,, about its claims. There is another revolution on in Santo DomingOi But just now nobody seems to care.
