I.BlackwelL CURRENT VIEWPOINTS OF NORTH CAROLINA FARMERS The Crop Reporting Service for North Carolina lias just received a iarge number of special reports from all perts ot the state concerning farm activities. The reports are pri maril bankers, county farm agents, and county supeintendents of schools who are interested in fanning. The four subjects covered are (1) Some thing worth reporting about farming; (2) What .farmers need; (3) The co operative marketing situation, and (4) Things of especial interest;.to farmers. ' . . The outstanding features are (1) that the cooperative marketing sit uation is more favorable than here tofore; (2) that the farmers need better systems of cash credit; and(3) that the farmers are optimistic and actively at work, taking advantage of the March favorable weather. Polk and Stanly counties call especial attention to the increases in clover and permanent pastures. For instance, in Rowan and Stanly a very large seeding of lespideza clover is being made. Iredell also ccmes in for her great interest in these, pasture and hay crops this year. The opti mism of farmers is especially note worthy, in view of last year's un favorable crop year. From Carteret county comes the expression, "Fann ers more detennined than ever to make good this year. "Other expres sions are "Interested in better seed; Cholera bar in Buncombe county; Fanners living more economically and working harder.' While the principal items reported were the need of better cash credit for farmers and a better marketing system, the whole idea carries the realization that more business meth ods and ideas are needed in farm ing. While they call for more farm ini'onnation, it will be well to tell how fanners would be more recep tive to information already offered. 1' More diversity of farming, the pro duction of more home" supplies, . the quitting of time- iu ftvw- of - cas^ prices, and more saving of Soil fer tility and farm feeds" are needed. From most section of the state come reports that the cooperative marketing is more in favor than here tofore. In several localities this movement is report ;d at a low ebb. unsatisfactory and gaining a black eye These latter expressions apply most ly to the tobacco association. Several reports of it being the "best meth od yet" and "members showing a fine spirit of loyalty" are received. The slow payments seem to be the chief complaint. The interest in poultry seems to be general throughout the state. The realization that better care in feed ing, culling, etc., ,pays handsomely, is putting new life in this feature of fanning Spraying and pruning has been later than usual, due mostly to the unusually early spring weather. Watauga county reports plans for in creasing the potato acreage more tha-j ever. Mecklenburg says that the farmers are organizing to buy ferti lizer. Nash shows poultry and pig clubs gaining wide interest As one county reports, "There is more in terest in building up soils and improv ing and beautifying the home? and home grounds, than ever." ? O? r Mc:iIjfaBY FARLEY DIES McK:?l(\ Farley died Tuesday from injuries received Monday morn ing by a log passing over liis body, breaking some of his ribs and crush ing his lungs.

One hundred and fifty graduates from grammar schools of the county received certificates. Mr. H. T. Hunter, president of tk# Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School delivered the address, ? stress ing the necessity of seventh grade graduates taking the high school course.
