are not thought to be serious.

Dear Sir I notice in the Jackson

the different townships. I feel sure
that nine tenths of the voters of
this county would sign such a peti-1
tion if presented to them, and I i
iudge this about your idea, as no
doubt you have had the expression
of a great many.
It takes time and expense to get
up petitions and doubtless, few, will
interest themselves enough to take
up this matter, but trust there be a
great many write you endorsing
this policy, I should judge you
could get valuable informatiod from
y jur fellow members from counties
that have their officials on salaries.

GOVERNMENT HELPS 0 CAROLINA
HOG RAISERS
The modern method of solving
agricultural problems by investiga
ting them, not only in the laboratory
but also on the farm in co-opera-tioii
with the farmer, has given
such admirable results hat it is to
be applied to the . anti-hog-cholera
crusade.
Congress has appropriated a half
million dollars to carry on the work
and experiments will be made in
all parts of the United States. The
aim will be not only to exterminate
the disease in the test sections, bu
also to "discover the most practical
efficient and efficient and economi
cal, methods" for; continuing the
work throughout the country.- ,
This investigation will fill a long
felt want in North Carolina, as the
hog death rate in this State from
cholera is 50 per 1000 head and hog
raisers are losing an average of 68,-
000 hogs, valued at $702,000 from
this disease annually.

Dear Sir I t&ke the hberty of
ytf pj the, purpose of
earnestly requfMog that you give
;mc luuumug, nm piuuaui
be of interest y a number of your
readers, some fiotice in yourp tper.
ll is imperativj&that- the attention
of the people n the State be called
to this subjectithout delay, and I
feel sure that j$u will do anything
you can to her? so good a cause.
The State Aubon Society, since
its creation iryl903, has done a
great deal of i 'od in the protection
of our native h fds and game. But,
believing thafmuch better, results
can be accomplished by a State,
Game Commission, we have pre-
u.l" t.
pared a bill pviding for the creat
on of such a c& mission, ad this
bill, in a revised form, will - be in
troduced at tl3 coming session of
the Legislature. We are sending a
copy of the bU4o each member of
the LegislatuPi, and will be glad to
send, upon application, a copy to
any person irthe State interested
in the preserver jon of our game, for
their friendlycriticism.
When you iiop to think of the
thousands of ir citizens who each
year take to fce fields and woods in
pursuit of ga?ie and'recreation, you
realize that te 'game which lures
them forth h'l-an enormous value,
however diffi-iilt to compute, and
that it is welp worth saving. Sad
to relate, of rent years our ardent
sportsmen bamore. recreation than

than into anKother State, except
Maine, pracfiliy all of wliom are

even greatermportance, ; they see
our natural sources and advant
ages, andkthlpossibility of invest
ment and Svelopment tin North
Carolina, weh means most effect
ual advert1sfig.for the State.
Every otrr State in the Union
except two.JSas a State Game Com--mission,
oT: Commissioner, and
most of thej are making frantic
and costly er- jforts to save the rem
nants of thel jp vanishing game. We
have made 1 great mistake in the
past in notiliving the subject of
game proteHon more careful at
tention, andJl hope you will help us
arouse the ople to the, realization
of the necepity Of doing ' something
in this direction before it -is too late
