System la Farmlnl.. Haphazard farming don't pay. No difference how hard a man may work with his hands, if he does not think and properly direct his ener gies he will always be in hard cir cumstances. In no occupation do brain and brawn work together to such advantage as on the farm. The intelligent farmer has a system to follow. . He does not lay his clevises and wrenches on stumps or throw them in the fence comer and forget where he left them He has a place for everything nnd keeps everything in its place. He realizes that it takes less time to put it in its place while he has it in his hand than to hunt for it when he dosen't know where it is. He don't break up his ground when it is too wet, and tries to avoid putting it off until it is too dry. He makes his plans for ahead and tries to work them. He takes the agri cultural papers and keeps abreast of the times. When he gets a good idea he puts it Into execution even when it pulls him out of an old rut which he has been traveling for years. He recognizes the utility or main strength but has no compro mises to make with awkwardness. He knows that there are new things being descovered every day of bene fit to the farmer, and is ready to ac cept what is practical for his locality and condition. The difference be tween the intelligent farmer and the one who farms on principle of 'main' strength and awkwardness" is the same aa that between success and failure. The Farmers' Union stands for intelligent farming. Heat Trast Aa4 The Peeple. The meat fight grows interesting, for it is being shown conclusively that the trust is doing the holding up. ' Figures show that in Chicago, last October, when the price of beef was (7.60, the supply of cattle was 68,851 head. v In December when the price was $9.50, the'supply was 82,- 724 head. It is said in a special from Washington to The Baltimore Sun, the feeling there is that the beef trust, which has made enormous pro fits while controlling- the constantly mounting prices, of food, has over reached itself, and in many quarters it is said that one of the first steps of the government might be the placing of evidence before the Unit ed States court and ordering to jail those who were enjoined in 1902 by Judge Grosscup. Moreover, Judge Kennesaw . Mountain Landis, the same who socked the fine of 129,240, 000 on the Standard Oil, is presiding over the court in Chicago, before which the beef trust has been in dicted. The agitation, or the boy cott, has borne some good fruit at least. It is told from day to day in dispatches to The Record that the price has been tumbling downward. One man in Louisville hung out a sign yesterday advertising the best steakes at ten cents. This is a trust fighting a trust and if he will keep plenty of stock on hand and con tinue to sell at this figure he will make a hole in the boycott, Greensboro Record. r Promise and Performance. ' Young man when you are courting your best girl, don't soft. Don't say these little hands will not do a stroke of work when you are all mine and you shall have nothing to do in our house but to sit all day long and chirp to the canaries. Aa if any sensible woman could be happy fool ing away her time in that sort of style. A girl has a retentive memory of the soft things and silly promises of courtship, arid occasionally, in after years when she is bending over the washtub or patching the west end of your ; trousers, she will re mind you of them in cold sarcastical tones of voice.

WTOE THE FARYiFR IS BIT. If He Is T Rave His Share Of Tn ferity He Mast Raise Here ' Cera. Major Wm. A. Graham, Comis gioner of Agriculture, say "that 1W9 was an "a, b, c," year with the farmers of North Carolina in corn production. He has issued a bulle tin on "Winter and Spring Work in Selcting Seed Corn," which is supplementary to the January bul letin of the Department of Agricul ture, its object being to stimulate the farmers to plant more corn. In his introduction to the bulletin, Major Graham says; "The cotton crop of North Caro lina is estimated to sell on an aver age each year for from thirty-five to forty million dollars. This amount of money is annually Rent from the State to purchase supplies which could be more profitably produced by the farmers than they can be purchased Much of these supplies, i, e., hay, corn and other grains, flour; meal, meat, lard, canned vege tables, and fruits, beans, peas, etc., are bought by farmers. In amount the only portion of the money which the farmer receives for his cotton crop that remains in the State is the profit the merchant, who sells these goods to farmers and others, re ceives on business "In consultation with the Com missioners of Agriculture and others acquainted with such matters, I have been informed that it is prob able that in every Southern State except Texas the - same condition prevails. This evil must be correc ted or the South, will not ' make the materia progress that it should, and it is doubtful if Southern farm ing can make any financial advance with such a wasteful practice. The North ; Carolina Agricultural De partment desires to call the earn est attention .of the farmers to this fatter and -to persuade them to change the condition of affairs by producing these articles for which there is a home market, ii not an actual home demand. " "A auppy of corn for the mainte nance of the farm is acknowledged by all persons of observation to be a necessity to successful farming. " "No part of corn farming is more Important than the selection of the seed. Last July a bulletin was issued by this department relating to the work that should be done in July and August, i, e., when the corn is growing and before it matures. It was intended to follow this Bulletin in October, with one relating to selection of seed at gathering time, but it was not found convenient to get the Bulletin out that time. How ever, many farmers, no doubt, gave some attention to the matter. The selection seed from the crib or bin and the more careful examination of that already chosen ran now have attention."

In view of the5 much talked-of postal deficit, about which Mr. Taft has had somewhat jto say, declaring the government Jones heavily on newspapers and magazines, the fol lowing editorial from the Baraboo (Wisconsin) Democrat is very timely. Without saying so, it points out a leak in the' postoffice department through which hundreds of thous ands of dollars flowl The Democrat says; - , '' r Uncle Sam no doubt loves the printer and therefore pursues him. The United States prints and fur nishes envelopes or less than the printer. is obliged to pay for the stock and sends the envelopes through the mails free of ciarge, while the printer has to pay when he wants to send envelopes of anything else through the mails. Uncle Sam sends advertising matter through the mails free of charge, calling attention to what a "good thing" he has to offer in envelopes, while tpe printer would be sent to the "pen? if he attempted to use a government envelope for the same purpose. The Index is one of those who do not believe the gov ernment has any right to invade the field of individual enterprise, in com petition with its citizens. But in this matter the government is doing even more. It has its printing office in Washington City where labor is far more expensive than in Fayette ville and thousands of other towns and cities throughout the country, and enters into competition with its citizens at such prices as to loose money, and then taxes these same competitors to make up the deficit. It is as if you. Mr. Merchant had to go down in your pocket and help pay the bills of competor who had un dersold you at a loss until he was unable to meet his own obligations Fellow-citizens, is it fair? Messrs. Congressmen, is it fair? Fayette- ville Index., Ixtravasace One Caase. " The fight on the meat trust by the organization of householders is Bure to be of some benefit, but will it be lasting? The greatest trouble is that the packers, with their, immense cold storage plants, can sit idly by for months and months, then, when the people get disgusted and hungry for meat, they will turn loose and unload at a big profit. ' There is one way to thwart this plan, if it will hold, and it is to be tried a bill to be introduced in Congress making it unlawful to keep meats in cold storage for longer than sixty, days. on the ground that such meats are contaminated and become injurious, thus placing it on the ground of health. Could such a law be passed and made to stick, it would give the consumer a whip , hand not to be sneezed at. Of course the . meat trust would fight it to the end, but could it be made operative while the fight was on it would be all right, for the people would be enabled to demonstrate the fact that the com bine was the cause of high prices, often referred to in this paper.The people have gotten into extravagance in living, caused by the prosperity of a few years ago, and they do not seem to be able to get back to the old way. It used to be a saying that a man who was prosperous was well known from the fact that he had "gone to eating meat," implying that he used to seldom eat because he could not afford it. We have all "gone to eating," not only meat, but too many other things that we can well do without Extravagance in other words, is one of the chief causes of high prices. ' The habit has affec ted the law of supply and demand; we have gone to "eating meat" and can't quit. The proper thing to do is to quit so much extravagance- quit trying to "keep up with the pro cession," Greensboro Record. Kr. Killer, Howearrna.

The revolt against the high prices of foodstuffs is two million crusaders enlisted under its banner. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf to Canada, grim determination to break the extortionate combinations and cor porations which by arbitrary meth ods have raised the prices of almost everything edible has made the movement a huge melting pot in which creeds, color, politics, and social status are fused into one great purpose. r Originating in the middle west the movement today recognizes the sec tion as its centre North, south, east and west are equally in its grip. Perhaps the most opposition it has encountered came in the south', but that was but scattering and occa sional, while the enthusiasm with which it was acclaimed in industrial centres, such as Birmingham, more than offset it. . Individual members of congress are among the movement's staunch est supporters, while President Taft, Cardinal Gibbons, and many others of national prominence have ex pressed their sympathy with it Although the fight is not yet fully under way its influence is making it self felt The beef barons are re ported as curtailing their buying of livestock to an extent that is flood ing the markets with cattle. Retail prices are showing material drops everywhere and cold storages, par ticularly in New York, are said to be almost ready to dump their huge accumulations on the market way below present prices in their anxiety to clean house before the many threatened grand jury investigations get under way. The American Bot Here is another important subject for the secretary of agriculture to investigate. In the Chicago stock yards hogs brought prices which were practically the highest since the civil war To make matters worse the sup ply in the west is said to be 40 per cent less than it was a year ago. This will sadden the frugal housewife. When beef went up she has fallen back on fresh pork, ham or bacon. If they, too, are to get beyond her reach she will have to resign herself to a vegetarian life. - ' If hogs shall remain scarce and dear the American export trade in hog products, ' of which lard is not the least important would suffer. The foreign demand for them would decline as the prices advanced. The Englishman would go elsewhere for the bacon he now buys of the United States. For the sake of the domestic con sumer and the foreign trade Secre tary Wilson should find out why hogs are scarce and prescribe a remedy. There ought to be a profit in raising them at present prices, even if corn does cost so much more than it used to. That is a sufficient explanation of an advance in the price of hogs, but not of a declining supply in the face of an increasing population and demand. Chicago Tribune. Agreed. According fb President Taft the postal deficit was $17,000,000. "This deficit" uys the president "is due to the insufficient revenue from sec ond-class matter and the expense of the rural free delivery system.". - "The president is correct," says the railroad magnate who receives from the government. 800 per cent more per pound for hauling the mails than he charges for hauling express. "The president is correct," says the manager of the express com pany, who draws a dividend of 300 per cent on his stock, and would draw more if the periodical postage rate were higher. "The president is correct," says the government official whose de partment sends millions of pounds of matter through the mails free of charge.
