cated the use of legumes as applied
to the soils in the absence of live
stock sufficient to consume them, and
Mr. Rowe urged that sufficient live
stock be kept that they may be con
sumed before applied to the soil.
Very much to the regret of the del
egates, Dr. Alexander was absent.
The suggestion that the time allotted
Dr. Alexander be devoted to five min

iness Manias a'happy one. Mr. C.
C. Moore, Mr. R. W. Scott, Mr. R. W.
Shields, responded to calls from Pres
ident Blount and acquitted them
selves most admirably. Dr. Hill then
called on President Blount, who res
ponded with tbbteechmade
throughout the deliberations of the
convention. He spoke most pointedly
of the many wastes of the average
farm material, health, moral, intel
lectual and social. He paid a tribute
to the farm women and children and
resumed his seat amid deafening ap
plause. Rev. W. A. Simpkins discussed
Money from Better Methods of
Farming," comparing present prices
of farm products with the prices of
the same articles for the past forty
pride and chagrin.
Dr. Wheeler spoke on co-operation
in a masterful manner and brought
out many benefits necessarily fol
lowing co-operation on the part of
the farmers of the State.
Resolutions were adopted endors
ing the work of the A. & M. College,
the Experiment Station, and the
State Department of Agriculture;
asking that the funds derived from
the kerosene inspection be turned
over to the Department of Agricul
ture; asking a State appropriation
for the eradication of the cattle tick
and the control of hog cholera; fav
oring a stock law; requesting the
local newspapers of the State to give
more attention to the progress of
fanning in their respective locali
ties; favoring agricultural high
schools, local taxation and State aid
for poor districts; urging the estab
lishment of a system of county fire
wardens ancL better protection
against forest fires; authorizing the
president to appoint a committee to
trv" to secure better rates from the
railroads; thanking President Hill
of the A. & M. College. Mr. W. A.
Simpkins and others for courtesies
extended.
Mr. Frank Shields, of Scotland
Neck, was elected President; Dr. A.
C. Wheeler, of Biltmore, Vice Pres
ident, and Prof. I. O. Schaub, West
Raleigh, Secretary.
The unprecedented interest and en-
years and. stated that a farmer' "of thuslasm manifest .throughout the
average intelligence could not farm
now and not make money. Even the
ignorant negro was making money
arming. Yet, there, was no vocation
nat called for a keener or a better
"allied intelligence than the sclenoe

that will far eclipse the one just
