The most im perative need is a keener apprecia tion of the dangers of these diseases. The farmers must study the disease, and work to check it, and if It is an unknown one and one he does not C know how to deal with he should ff communicate with the state authori j ties. These diseases may be success- fully combatted by crop rotation. Certain crops resist some diseases. i while other crops will succumb to their ravages. We need an increased appreciation of the dangers which we are subject ed by these diseases. They should be taught and explained in our schools, and they should be show in our mu seums. The speaker was warmly applaud ed upon the conclusion of his able and Interesting address. Mr. Clarence H. Poe was next in troduced by President Cameron. The speaker began by saying that k'HrlcuIluW in the south was its most luiirurium aasei. Agriculture is al most the "whole thing" in the south- era" states. .jj Mr. Poe spoke upon the subject o if i 'Agricultural Revival in the South , '51x1 Its Significance": The speaker 4 Ba'd that what you visitors see down k, . here is the result of the labors of the Jj . last 40 years. He spoke of the great vaiue oi me couon crop or ine soutn . era states. ,. .) . . The southern farmer will make a J billion dollars mere than in 1899. ' The southern farmer is making $202 . where he made $100 ten years ago, While the other farmer is making ( only $164 to where he made $100 ten j a Bftu- i v gaiu iu iiui iu vaiw Una is about 78 per cent. He then referred to Mr. Batts, of Garner, who raised 226 bushels of corn on one acre this year. The southera farmer looks with enthusiasm to the future such as he has never had before. . The farmer objects to the Euro i pean emigrant, and objects wisely, be cause we do not get our own stock, but we do want the northern and western farmer to come and be with us. Land fn the .south today is chea per than land of the same fertility anywhere else on the American conti nent. The tide of emigration that il has gone west is now turning south. .! Lands of the same fertility east of U the Mississippi is only half the price s - of land west of it. The speaker then referred to the fact that Mr. A. L. French, who was from Ohio, had come down here, and become prosperous and had been elected president of the State Farm era' Association. Related a story of a negro in Wayne county who made more raising strawberries than the governor of the state. We people of the south are going to take better care of our lands in the future than jt we have In the past. We are using " ' better judgment In . selecting our seeds.. We are using better machin- ?' ery, and are taking up stock raising. The speaker then enumerated a num ber of things that is causing an agri- it ; . cultural revival In the south. - " " Our schools don't teach the boys y the dignity of farm life; that if he was going to do anything besides muscle' he must leave the farm, and don't realize that education is needed In farm life. Many text-books teach tbm farmer boy to become disgusted t , , -miia urm me, ana il is natural mm j Hjt ' farmer boy should think that he .doesn't heed an education 'to be a Fit V farmer, which view the text-books are 1rseiy rwnpvuHioie tor. - . - - Need of better text books" on phys iology. They tell as the number of bones in the body, bat say nothing About the rales of hygiene which, are mo essential.' :,.:.VivM.v; ' , It la Illogical to conclude that wo men teachers cannot teach ' physiol ogy, j The sclentifie principles which ' fcave application to farming can (be taught by a woman. She can teach . these principles without being able, Raleigh, N. C. to hitch up a team, or gather corn, or any other farm work. Through the 6,000 years of its his. tory, it is only now that any great progress has been made in farming. Mr. Poe's speech was an able ef fort, telling of the great progress of the south, and its prospects and re ceived the closest attention of the audience. Dr. J. L. Burgess, North Carolina Department of Agriculture Agrono mist, was the next speaker of the morning, whose subject was, "Rela tion of Crop Varieties to Soil Types." He exhiibted soil maps of the United States by way of' explanation of his remarks. Some use the term "worn-out" as applied to soil, but the proper term is "tired," said the speaker. He then took up maps of soils of various sec tions of the country and told of their advantages and defects. If the visitors to this congress had struck the state from Tennessee in stead of from the Virginia side, they would have had a much better idea of the state. The speaker then ex hibited a series of maps of North Carolina soil, beginning at the moun tains of the extreme west and travel ing east .discussing the various soils that the state has' and e'xpTaining the maps, giving a good idea of what are the best crops for the different sec tions. In response to questions, the speaker said that "blue grass" can not be raised successfully from a com mercial standpoint in this state. Congressman John H. Small, who was unable to be here Saturday, was next to be introduced by President Comeron. He began by saying he had followed the proceedings of the congress and noted with pleasure the high class of the addresses that bad been delivered. The speaker said he believed in po litical parties. The servant of the people owes it to himself and the peo ple who have reposed confidence in him, to do what he thinks Is right and for the people's interest. The people demand that those in whom tney have put their trust shall keep up with the march of progress. Congressman Small then took up the subject of his address upon "Wa terways," tracing the progress of the country on great problems until at tne present time when we had the waterway problem. Water has re cently become recognized as a great factor in our progress, and the par ticular phase of it which was discuss edthis morning was its relation to transportation. There are practical ly three methods of public transpor tation, highways, railways and wa terways. The public highway in an important factor In the life of railways, and the'y aid all they can In their building. The public highway bears the same relation to the waterway. Those products which are at least profits to the railroads on account of the low rates, can be transported by water at a less cost and yet yield a hand some revenue. . . : The waterways build up the country and do not militate against the mil roads. The great . transportation masters have abandoned the theory that waterways were the foes of the railroads. ' In this movement for a system of waterways which reaches from coast to coast there should be no friction in the development of all three of thes methods of transportation. The speaker told of his recent trip down the Mississippi with the president. .. The exhibition of public and civic spirit shown there people along that river was a source of pride, and their ex ample is recommended to the people of North Carolina and othet1 states. Never heard the slightest complaint that somebody Vas getting more than they wer, but there was a united peo plewith a common object and all work ing toward the. same common end of acquiring better waterway. .The costs of movement by water is one-half that by rail. The building up of waterways acts as an automatic reglatpr of ; the traffio rates. 1 There is leas complaint In New York about import frelht rates and discrimination which is due to the Erie Canal. . He then spoke of the two re at propositions now before the peo ple, the waterway from Chlcao to the gulf and from lfaine to Florida, with very little trouble a canal from Boston to Florida could be built, and , the THE EVENING TIMES, 'speaker anddiscussed the links of the proposed waterway, showing the feasi bility of the,; proposition, and told of : the progress that has been made look j ing towards, the fullflllment of this (idea. ' The first link, of this route Is to i be between Norfolk and Beaufort, and the appropriation for this purpose has already been ; made. . When these 'Waterways ure com pleted, a barge can leave Chicago, go down to the gulf, along the coast of Florida, up the Atlantic to Ney York," and through the canal to , the .great lakes mid back to Chicago, all by this proposed inland waterway. With this series, the towns along its route will enjoy the same frc&ht rates on staple products as the great cities. , There Is not a . community, no matter how re--mote that Is vitally interested in this matter. It will create new water terminals and create new ' railroad rates, and the whole neoie be thereby benefitted. - the great inland waterways asso ciation is untitled to the confidence and tupport of all the people,' 'and hopes to see the time when the entire country will s?e 'that the solution of the transportation problem Is by the improvements of our waterways. He concludede by inviting tbe Con gress to visit the easteni part of lite state Wedncsdav. Col. Cameron then arose and said that the Farmers' Congress is work- ' Ing in harmony with the Waterways Association. On motion of Col. Cunningham, a vote of thanks was extended to Con-' gressman small lor his excellent speech. The committee on resolutions then reported the following rcsoiuUons which were ade.ited: Reaffirming the congress' position as favoring a (en percent tax on olco-' inaigine action on the parcels post system by the federal government; urging a special appropriation for the establishment of denn.nstrat on (arms in the . south for the co ore, fa mer tne imineuiaiu aeuuu f ,u..i,- ,iutiv m the orewnt terr- ant system in the south; establishment of distilleries for denatured alsohol; the appointment of a committee to survey at least 4 roads from the At lantic to the Pacic coasts, and' such other roads as committee may deef necessary: urging the passage of an act relative to the improvement' of rural free delivery roads: asking re presentation to further restrict immi gration,' forming the consideration of schools and teaching agriculture in , them:askinir that the holiday system on It.

FIRE IN THK COUNTRY. J. T. Edward's Barn, btaoies, crioe - " and Shelters Destroyed. The big barn, stables, erlp and two shelters of Mr. "j. T. Edwards, in House Creek township, six miles from Raleigh; were 'destroyed by fire at an early hour last evening. The hre started in the crii), which was secure ly fastened, making its origin a mys tery". It very quickly spread to the barn and stables and entirely de stroyed them. Under the two shel ters was some valuable machinery, including a wheat, thrasher and an old cotton gin. All of the machinery was destroyed.

Thanksgiving Day will not bring much in the way .of victory to the Tarheel football teams. On Saturday, the A. ' & M. team defeated Washington and j Lec by the miserably small score of ; 3 to 0. while Carolina was defeated bv y. P. I. by the score of 15 to 0. The Carolina-V. P. I. game turned out Just aboutas expected by Carolina alumni in Raleigh, but A. & M. fell far below what was expected of them. V. P. I. defeated Washington and Lee. the same team that A. &. M. scored 'only three points on. by the ' ovcrwneiming score oi si to o. it com parative scores mean anything at all A. & M. will have to hustle between now and .Thanksgiving to be irt it with the lads from Blacksburg. A few weeks back Carolina lost to V. M. I. by the score of 3 to 0, and on last Saturday Virginia, Carolina's Thanks giving opponent, trounced the V. M. I. boys with ease, running up a score of 52 to 0. That makes it appear a trifle bad lor Carolina. However, comparative scores mean nothing. A. & M. went to Lexington , with the sole intention of playing old 'style football. - It was well known that V. I 1. coaches would be on the scene to get a line on the strength ind methods of the Tarheel farmers. , (l( frustrate these plans only old style play waa. used by A. & M.

Hodg son will average between forty-live and fifty yards in punting, while Stevens, of A. & M. will average about 30. They will exchange punts at least ten times during the game, which gives V. P. I. an advantage of 150 yards or mo,.c to begin with. However the Farmers are going to Norfolk with the determination to do or die, and if noth. ing unforeseen happens the game will be evenljr contested. Coach Green has Inculcated a fight ing spirit into the A. & M. Bquad, that cannot be excelled by even the big i four teams. Watch this fighting spirit Thanksgiving Day. It is going to bring victory to the Tarheels at Norfolk. Carolina also has things up her sleeve forVirginia that she did not turn loose at Kichmond Saturday. Several of her best men have been slightly injured and could not do their best against V. P.

"THE SEIUOUSNKSS OP LIFK" Splendid Sermon by Rev. W. A. Stan bury at Kdenton Street Church Last Night. At the evening service at Eden ton street church, the fcastor, Rev. W. A. Stanbury preached an earnest,' straight-forward sermon on the earn estness of life. It is not a thing to be frittered and idled away. The living of life is a serious thing. Each day and even each' hour counts for something in . tho plan of the whole life. Mr. . Stanbury -spoke of the popu lar amusements of the day and time that arc claiming so much of. tho at tention of tbe yogng people. It Is tho duty of everyone to find out t.'io truth about a thing and then, if it is not good and elevating renounce it. It is not enough to give up these things because the church disciplino forbids them, but because we have found khem to be not productive of the best that is in us. Mr. Stanbury said he was not con demning any of the things mentioned. If thoy wore condemned it would be out of their own mouth, f Among those he. mentioned were: The card parties and bridge clubs, dancing and the music, heard In the ball-room, the popular soiibcIcss sheet music of the day, some of the latest books. ' He felt that much of the matter contained in tho Sunday news papers, consisting principally of a comic sheet, fashion paper and sport ing page, with talcs of . all kind of murders and stories or, horror dis played under big headlines was not conducive of the good of the home. ' The theatre he fell' bad come to stay. We need the theatre, we need some form of amusement and recrea tion, but the theatre needs cleansing.-; It needs the help of the church In bringing this reform about. . Too many people rather go to a show than a play, they prefer the light vaude ville and musical comedies of Che day to the deeper plays of Shakes peare and, other masters of the drama where problems of human destiny are worked out; There is a piano of life above all these things and he prayed that God might help the people find lt aud pitch their lives upon It. ,.-': Insurance Notes,- ';.
