CRENSHAW'S "Ford Sales and Service" COOP CiGARETTES i SENU!NE DURHAM TOBACCO The Letter Day Farm History is continuing to rep. at it seif in the matter of new departures in things that cause a break-aw*ay from the old established order. Noth ing was fought harder in this State than the no-fence law. The legis lators responsible for its origination —Capt. S. B. Alexander, of Mecklen burg, and Col. Paul B. Means, of Con cord—paid the penalty in political decapitation. But in the course of a few years, the farmers were willing to fight for the no-fence taw. In like manner, the good roads law was combatted. The Mecklenburg farm ers, when they saw the beginning of grading and macadamizing started, felt sure they were ruined, hut by time the sample road was completed they were fighting, ev&ry man of them, for road by their farms-—and they kept beating county commis sioners until about all had got what they wanted. But the real rucus came with passage of the cattle tick law. The farmers in some sections of the South could not see how era dication of the tick could help them, and in some States, North Carolina included, dipping vats were de stroyed and open warfare was made against enforcement of the cattle tick law. But as in the case of the no fence and the road laws, ,understand ing has tome, though more slowly. There are counties in this State yet up in arms against the dipping vat. In time, however, all wdll see the light and become anti-tick advocates. The difference in conditions on a farm w hen it was infested by the cat tle tick and after the tick h^,s been eradicated was graphically illustrat ed this week by Mr. A. L. James, of Darlington, S. C., in the course of a talk in which he stated tjiat while the boll weevil made it a necessity to change from cotton to dairying and livestock raising, it was only eradi cation of the cattle tick that made the change possible. When the ticks were on his farm, Mr. James said, he had 12 cows and the whole lot was wmrth not more than $500. Now he has 44 Guernseys, including young stock, and these "are easily worth an average of $300 a head."—Charlotte Observer. PUBLIC PATENT APPLIED FOR ON SHAFTLESS TORACO DUSTER Rlore than 200 acres of tobacco have been dusted for tobacco horn worm control with the experimental model of a tandem-wheel, shaftfess type of one-mule two-row (luster, since the perfection of this machine, which is a very important addition to tobaccogrowing equipment. Much better results have been obtained than would have been possible with hand dusters. As much as 18 acres have been dusted in a single day, a bout three times as much as could have been done with a hand du ter. A patent to be dedicated to the public has been applied for, and al ready one of the older manufacturers of dusters has begun the construc tion experimental models of this type of machine, in which the Bu reau of Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture is very much interested. The advan tages of the shaftless type over the shaft typ of two-row duster lie in the fact that the center of gravity 4s lower and the fact that it can be turned in half the space required by the shaft type. It is also thought that the cost of construction will be less than that of the shaft duster. Chamberlain's C^ngh Remedy. This is a pleasant, safe and reliable medicine for coughs and colds.
