" finished Up Work of Coi vention and Adjourned All Morning Spent in Executive Ses sion Except for Thirty .f initios Given to Dr. D. H. Hill's Speech Convention Adopted Resolutions and Transacted Much Importiint Business. 'the convention of the North Caro lina branch of tne Farmers' Union which has been in session here since yesterday morning, completed its work and adjourned today at noon A great araountof business of interest to t,ie farmers was transacted. There was a secret session this' morning tin til 10 o clock, when the public was admitted to hear a speech by Dr. IJ. H. HiU. After this the convention again went into a secret session and remained in it until the adjournment. Resolutions were adopted thahki'ig the A. & M. officials and the city of Raleigh for the many courtages shown the delegates. It is learned that several important matters relat ing to the union were acted upoi. . At 10 o'clock the doors were open ed to the public, and Dr. D. H. Hill, president of A. & M. College, was in troduced and made a most interesving address, his theme being the educa tion of the boys and girls on the farms. . . The speaker said a great caange had come over the farming conditions of, tiie country. The farmers are not content to sit still, but try to make' the soil, yield all it can. He -.-elated an incident in connection with the Batts corn yield of last year, where one of the competitors remarked that .he was beaten this year but would get him next year. One of the causes of this change was reading papers and magazines, and becoming better informed An other reason was the necessity to in crease the production because, the population, was growing. ' A third reason is that the farmers are .trav eling and seeing what their neighbors are doing and becoming better in formed. Because of all these the far mer is becoming more efficient. A farmer becomes efficient when he learns to love the farm, and wh-jn our boys are taught to love the farm then we will have reached a period ot ef ficient farming. Another sign of effi ciency is economy, tuough not stingi ness. Though you may have the gray appearing in your hair, don't quit, for you never get too old to learn. W hen the cotton mill man sees a piece of machinery that will save time, labor or money, he quickly procures it, but this has not always been true with tiie farmer. If his neighbor has a better piece of machinery or some improved method, hasten to adopt that. : Another sign of efficiency s ability to judge soils, and the man who knows most about the soil is the most capable farmer. A man wiil be efficient when he knows live stock and how to get the best results from this. It used to be the custom to feed hogs corn and acorns, neither of which should be fed In great quantities. : A man should not only know his soil and how to manage live stock, but should be able to care for his crops after planted. He should study plant life, and get in position to work his crops "most effectively, " Dr. Hill told of the little country of Denmark, how it had become the richest country, per capita, in the world because of its farming meth ods. '. "Don't you farmers stand back and say that agriculture ought to be taught, but say that it nnist be taught. If your county Superintend ent of public instruction won't put agricultural text books in ynr sen wis, tell him he must step aside and make rom for some one who will. ,See that agricultural text books in your schools, The greatest 'monument you can leave to the wprld is the education of yo'ir boys and girls in agriculture. : President Alexander stated that the great speech of Dr. Hill bad found home In "every heart and that we should not let it cool &ft. He aid he felt that Influences had been iet at Work that would accomplish wonders to the farmers. Headlens Body of Woman Found.
