v jxju x n w. i NEWS FR VARIOMIMIES Vance County: The County Agent reports that farmers are turn ing from tobacco to food crops,- cows and hogs. One farmer is sowing 20 acres of his bright tobacco land to grasses as pasturage for hogs and cows. , The County Agent; spent two days at Raleigh during the week getting instructions concerning in oculation of hogs for cholera. v Dur ing the week he held two meetings in the interest of hog cholera con trol. He also held a meeting to arouse interest In the Creamery to be established at the A. and M. Gol lege, West Raleigh, N. C. Anson County: The Agent re ports the pruning of two orchards and the spraying of one orchard in co-op era tion w i t h M r. Szymoniak, of the Department of Agriculture. He reports the building of some nice new homes in the section of the eounty where farmers raise their home supplies. Many farmers are beginning to be interested in the growing of grazing crops for hogs. Mecklenburg County: Up to date five clover seed harvesters have been made in the county. The Agent is how active in working up cream routes. He had with him Mr. Arey, of the Dairy division, part of the week. One demonstration in the use of the separator was given at each of the two meetings held with an attendance of 125 Forsyth County: Of 28 Demon strators visifedduring;theweefef 110 of them have crops for grazing or soiling. Numbers of farmers , are tuning to the making of pasture stock. ' ,k Iredell County: A good demon stration of home convenience in the country is that of the home of Mr T. B. Swan who has installed water works with a hydraulic ram that cost only $7.00. This forces the water about 200 yards where an ordinary barrell furnishes sufficient storage fr immediate purposes. Haywood County: The Agent re ports as follows; Mr. J. L. Welch has 6,000 apple trees which are kept sprayed. Mr. E, W. Mondy has a splendid demonstration of redisking of land for the making of a good seed bed. , Mr. R. L. Penland did good work in harrowing before his corn came up. As a result he will not need to hoe his corn. Mr. J. E. Henderson is draining and bringing into use 20 acres of rich soil. Mr. Edward Harbin has pro posed the holding of mofithl . meet ings of farmers to discuss field work. This will probably be done if the organization is perfected. Union County: Theagent writes as follows on conditions there: We are emphasizing the imcortance of grasses arid live stock to every farmer. During the week two com munities have asked to have dairy bulls procured for them. Three separators have been purchased during the week. In fact the whole county is getting the dairy , spirit We emphasize the importance fif co-operative prbduceion as an 'aid to co-operative marketing. We met one of our old demonstrators this week, who in the course of j conyer- sation remarked as follows: 44 When you first came to see me I was in debt and was having a pretty hard time, but now I am . selling corn, OM oats, pork and cows! I am out of debt and have been able to hold my cotton since last fall, until a few days ago when I sold it for 10c. a pound. I wish you well. If you say for me to sow grasses, prepare pastures and keep more live stock, will do that, too" Such remarks show the value of good v suggestions to a farmer who is willing to listen The agent writes further as follows: It is difficult to find a farmer who has no section harrow on his farm When the work was first started, I could find only one harrow in the county. : Hoke County: In one section of the county a1 severe rainstorm.with hail, completely demolished the young crop of cotton. Most of the farmers were without seed for replanting The agent immediately went through another section of the county and collected from other farmers three hundred bushels which were given tree and shipped to Raeford, the railroad people hauling them free of charge to Rockfish. The agent went to the latter place and spent two days in distributing this seed. Now the farmers are happy again and going ahead with their work, Sampson County: One of the banks in the county has made a proposition to the farmers to fur uish $15,000 for the purpose of purchasing thoroughbred dairy cat tle. This is more good co-operation and of the kind that is, indeed, very scarce in the south. Such a thing is a bank furnishing money to farmers to purchase live stock with has not been known in msny in itajncj try. It means that bankers1 are finding what is good for the build ing up of the country, and also that f?C in such a nice way. Of course, the County Agent is not woing to let them spend much money for 'ad ditional live stock, until he first gets them some pastures or grow some crops to feed them on. This is where proper advice comes in well. Warren County: As a result of sending the little clover seed har vester model into the county for a few days, the agent writes that in one community five farmers were making such a machine. During he five year's work in the county, the Agent has increased the clover acreage probably a thousand per cent. With these machines to save seed this year, farmers will not only plant still more clover this fall, but will have seeds to sell to their less fortunate neighbors. Beaufort County: We have just built tvvo new dipping vats. At one one of them we dipped 2h cattle and 60 hogs one day. and at the oter we dipped 38 cattle and 45 hogs. These were demonstrations for the benefit of the neighbors. The farmers who own these vats ha ve offered the use of them free to other "farmers in their respective communities. Still more co-operation and good neighborliness. Brunswick County: In co-operation with Dr. Owen, our hog cholera expert, the Agent held - four meet ings during the week with an at tendance of 216 farmers. Thepeo- pie want more work of this kind. They are interested in savirg their hogs. gecomb County: Br Fulton of the State A. & M. College through County Agent Moore, is introducing a wilt resistant , variety of cotton seed and water melon seed. .There S YLYA, N. C; JUNE 4 1915, is much wilt through the eastern counties. No doubt this will prove very valuable. : Dr.:Winters; of the College, is conducting some cotton breeding with some of the farmers; . ' - in the cdufitjr; : is also doing! Atlanta, Ga., June 1. The hear some work with soy beans. The ing on Leo M. Frank's aDolication Poultry Club work is thriving in the county. The agent has been called on to give advice at seven home gardens during the week. MODEfiN fllSPESSABIES A number of people are asking these dasy, "Just what is an anti typhoid dispensary?" To clear the atmosphere a bit the State Board of Health explains as follows: An anti phpid dispensrry differs materially from that other type of dispensary more or less popular in a state, memories of which still linger in certain parts of this state. In other particulars the two are somewhat Similar. They differ in that they will be open only about one day a week for six weeks They are similar in that no one person can secure more than a limited amount of fluid extract (15 drops) each dispensary day. They differ in that the "fluid extract" (vaccine) is-required to be taken on the spot in the dispensary instead of at home or in seclusion. They differ in that the number of subscriptions to any one person are limited strictly to three.. They are. similar in that they are under careful supervision These present day dispensaries are unaer me supervision ot the. state, '- i and County Boards of Health. 5-They iteanrfait ;he stock hi trade is offered free instead of being sold and, further, in that instead )f being a source of some , financial i . . j j irevenue to me - wv. town and degradation to the perrons, they are a source of expense to the town, county and state and a means of extending, life health and happiness and of prevent ng disease among their patrons. Briefly, the anti-typhoid dispen saries will be held in one place in a county each week day. These places will be located convenient of access about over the country. Due announcement will be made of the dispensary days and dates. The dispensary itself will be a suitable room in the court house, hotel, store or school house and will be fitted up with a comprehensive exhibit on typhoid fevor, flies and other public health subjects. There will be two or more dispensary at tendants who will explain the health exhibits, give lectures on various phases of health and sanitation and immunize- all who apply for the treatment, free of charge. Health literature and general medical ad vice will be given free of charge. In the evening, when an opportunity presents itsejf, these dispensary at tendants will give illustrated stere opticon health, lectures in nearby halls and school houses. The cost of all this will be provid ed for joiitly by the State and county. The county's part will be from $300to $500. Thus far five counties have made appropriations for this work. Several other coun ties are known to be considering the matter, It is confidently expected that an average of 5,000 people in each county will avail themselves of these free anti-typhoid dispensa- nes. FATENOItlES ITH STATE EXECUTIVE ; fof commutation of sentence from death to life imprisonment, which began before the state prison com mission here yesterday was com pleted late in the afternoon. It is expected the commission's recom mendations to the governor will be transmitted by the last of this week, or within ten days at the latest, and the governor will then take final action in the case. No one appeared to argue in opposition to Frank's application. The principal features of the pro ceedings were a letter written a few months before his death by Judge L. S. Roan, who preside ! at Frank's trial, in which he sought clemency, for the prisoner, and a statement by Mrs. Frank describing her husband's actions on the night following Mary Phaga n's murder and denying rumors of an estrange ment between herself and Frank. Judge Roan's letter was address ed to the chief counsel for Frank in his trial. It stated that at the proper time he would ask the govern or to compute t rank s sentence t? j life imprisonment; that after many I mcraths of deliberation he was Jstill uncertain of the prisoner's guilt, and that "it is possible I showed undue i deference to the opinion of ihe jury wnen l allowed their verdict to . - stand." The i production of ;Judge -Roan-'s letter; Frank s counsel stated,' ob viated the necessity of extended ar gument and permitted a quicker termination of the hearing . Gazett WSLLETS. ! Willets, N. C. June 1,1 1915. Editor of the Jackson County Journal Magistrate Joseph Hoyle 1 held quite 3ii interesting court at the Willecs schoolhouse on the evening of the 29th of May, wherein certain tenants who had to leave Ruby City Camp for drunkenness, and disorderly conduct, as plaintiff put in circulation certain reports about bills claimed for services rendered stating that they were , to pay no rent for the use of six rooms, in cluding the use of. shower bath room and porcelean bath tub, and all the land they could tend for farm and garden purposes, and the right to use 6 rooms, and a big hall and three other extra rooms for the use of the men that board there when working at the mills and mines.
