A splendid advertisement of oppor tunities for profitable investment in farming In North Carolina is given In a report by Agronomist J.L, Burgess of the State Department of Agricul ture on estimates of food products shipped into the State In 1909. Mr. Burgess sent letters of inquiry into this subject to 600 secretaries of business bodies, Mayors, railroad traffic managers and leading men of affairs. One hundred and thirty replies were received, and upon these replies the following estimated cost of food products brought into the State is based:. Pork, 195,965 bbls . . . $4,899,125 00 Flour, C65.164 bbls ... 3,990,984 00 Cured meat, 7.721.935 lbs. 965,241 87 Conv 1,342,233 bo ..... 800.229 20 Canned goods, 146,456cases 363,74000 Oaten. 706,282 ba 317,826 90 Wheat, 205,828 bfl. .' ... . 236,702 20 I!. y, J3.12T.O tons A . 221,875 50 f uller, 218,265 lbs.'. ; . 49,653 00 r f. 170,425 lbs. . . 12,78187 x-tai:." ; . : .

'Mun of North Carolina's inability to r !de them. There is not an item in tie liat which cannot be supplied by North Carolina; that is, as far as j its farm possibilities are concerned. Nor w the emwt Intended to sug gest that each farmer' raise every thing in the list v ; ; : "-Mr. Burgess points out that the cotton district in the State, may not be generally adapted to wheat-rais ing on a commercial scale; that the tobacco district may be expected to continue to make tobacco its money crop, and that the cereal district is not well suited to tobacco cotton and fruit , But he urges every farmer in every district to raise at home as many of his staple food products as possible, and that each district in the State, bavins come under th Influ ence of such a policy, exploit to the fullest extent its own natural re sources to the end that as a' whole the State may live at home. , Buch exploitation would be found to bring immediate profit to farmers already fortunate enough to bold lands in the State, and would be sure to attract to North Carolina farmers from ether parts of the country. Manufacturers Record. ' . , neuver is disproved by the fact that the soldiers and marines are going to the front armed' for warfare. The expense of maneuvers is always provided for by a special appropri ation. No money has been appropriated for maneuvers. All the army and navy funds are low. Nevertheless commissary and quartermaster, offi cers have been instructed to pur chase without limit as to amount and time. Never in the history of war maneuvers has the coast artillery been summoned to the front. Prac tically - the entire coast artillery strength from Long Island Sound to the Gulf of Mexico has been, sum moned to make ready to proceed to Galveston, i a . a; -a'. The entire force of 20,000 men is now in motion towards ' Texas and southern California. y " yy : T!.e naval forces are enroute to the Couth and things are likely to begin to start along the border lineany minute. .

The club is -the first of its kind ever formed in this country, says dispatch, and with the establishment of the society many others will prob ably be started in other leading citiesl - The purpose of the organiza tion is to obtain a strict enforcement of the laws regarding scales, weights and measures. The woman of Indianapolis have taken a great interest in the move ment and it is to be the duty of each member of the society to care fully weigh and measure alt goods delivered at their houses. Whenever anything is found to be short, over the fraction of an ounce, it is to be the duty of each member to call up the city's inspector und a vigorous prosecution in each Instance is to be made by the organization. - Ce Seat Tena Haal In the good old days when Horace Greeley was telling the farmers and school-teachers what to do ambitious men use to frrope their way into the West and take up quarter sections, arranging at the same time a proper defense against the Indians and pray ing nightly that in good time a rail road would pass near their property and enable them to market what- lever their lands could be persuaded to yield. ' "Go West young man!" met with a hearty response and de spite many and greats Obstacles the West was won and most of those who went into the new country eventual' ly gained wealth and prosperity, .' . Some people think that with the passing of the opportunity in the West there is no father chance to emigrate. .'. Yet the South offers op portunities incomparably better than any the West ever did ' or could of fer. We have no lands to give away it is true, but it is possible to buy a fair acreage in the South for about what the trip West used to cost Moreover the land that would be ob tained in the South is good land, capably of producing the finest crops and so situated that these crops can be easily marketed. The climate, here is far and away better than the climate in the West, and there are just about as good people in ' the South as can be found anywhere in the world. Columbia (S; C.) State. Bell Kaforce the Law. After July 1, 1911, near beer joint will be a thing of the past, but this does not mean that illegal liquor selling will cease. : If the blind tiger cannot hide there, he will find anoth er cover, and it Is all important that officers . and citizens of their community be vigilant y The one error that temperance re formers too often make is that they expect the law to enforce it&lf. This mistake many of us made two years ago and because of it, there has been liquor lawlessness in some parts of the State. Do not suppose that the legislation enacted by this general assembly will cause the re bellious blind tiger to quit his . law lessness, but use the law as means to compel him.. For the next twelve months throughout this state, there must be an active campaign for the execution of the law. Let every good citizen aud faithful officer lend a helping hand. American Issue.

AOTOT TO REGARDING LISTING TAXES It Means There Will Be of The State's Burdens tabor aac Sell latareveaaaai. The best way to solve the' la bor problem is through soil improve ment It is better for one man to cultivate ten acres of land that will produce two hundred bushel of corn and ten bales of cotton than for three men to cultivate thirty acres to get the same amount of products. The one man of the ten acres gets as much per day for his labor as all three men get who have to cultivate the thirty acres. As a farmer your wages depend upon cost of produc tion. You should let it sink down into your thinking works frequently that there can be no high wages for the average farmer who gets his living by farming the land, (and not by farming other people) except through economic production and economic distribution. There can be no economic ' production . except through soil impovement There can be no economic distribution (or sien tific marketing) except through class orgizanatioh and co-operation. High price labor and scarcity of labor are blessings in disguise for the Southern farmer. Necessity will compel the farmer to put into prac tice intelligent methods and econom ic principals- He must get out of the old stupid, careless and indifferent way. He must put life-giving hum us into his dead soil and deepen the soil untQ it will yield the highest re- tarn for the labor invested He must realize that his soil is his capi tal stock and that in any kind of busi ness that does not show an in crease in the capital stock (soil fer tility) must stagnate and In the end result in failure. y y . There are thousands of farmers in North Carolina, men who own their own lands, who would frown at the idea of working at 75 cents a day, when at the same time they are cul tivating depleted ' soil dead soil that does not yield them 60 cents a day for their labor, and if the cost the commercial fertilizers, upon which they foolishly depend for re sults, and cost of mule power and mule feed are deducted the wages will amount to less than nothing net at the end of the year. The reason for such disappointment and failure exists in the fact that this class of farmers have hot! waked up to the fact that their wages as farmers de pends primary upon the productive capacity of their soil, y 5A; . " An Alamance County farmer said to the writer last summer; "I have been increasing my corn yield ten bushels per acre for three years in succession and have gathered a corn crop from the land each year, and have not used as much commercial fertilizers aa the average farmer uses." When asked how he did it his answer was short and simple; I sowed crimson clover in the corn at last working." It cost about 11.50 per acre to seed the land in clover, and yet there are 8 2-2 guano farm ers who spend freely $4.00 or $5. 00 per acre to apply a mixture of small amount of chemicals with brick dust and sand and who consider it extra v agence to spend $1.50 per acre for a real soil building crop But It is not our purpose here to go into de tails. The point we want to stamp indelibly upon the minds of every Farmer's, Union man is theimport anceof fewer acres with a system of improvement for it Is the only sure way, the safe way and the easy way to farm successfully, regardless of scarcity of cheap labor. Any oth er kind of farming is speculative. uncertain and disappointing. Car olina Union Farmer.

THE LAW A More Equal Distribution STATE APPOINTS ONE And With Assistance of County As sessors Will Pass on Property - From May 1st, to July 1st -Each Year. The machinery act passed by the legislature, which provides the ma chinery for levying taxes, is different from former acta in several partic ulars. In the first place, the time for which property on hand shall be listed is changed from June 1st to May 1st, and the date on which county com missioners shall meet to levy taxes is changed from June to August ao that all the property for assessment shall be in .before the tax levy is made, Heretofore taxes were levied before the aaBessment was made. The principal changes from the old law are in sections 15 to 25. It is pro vided that the state tax commission which is the corporation commis sion shall appoint one county tax assessor, a resident freeholder of the county, and the county commission ers shall appoint a tax assessor for each township, to beiknown asaasist- tant tax assessor, who shall begin their work May 1st and continue un til July 1st Heretofore the com missioners appointed a tax-taker for each township and every fourth year, when real estate was to be assessed, two assessors were , appointed for each township to assess the real es tate. Under the new arrangement the tax assessor appointed for the county will visit each township and with the assistant assessor appointed for the township will make the as sessment The county assessor and the board of county commissioners constitute a board of equalization for the counties, their work being subject to review by the state tax commission. ' '. The county assessors is to be ap pointed by Apr. 1 and he can devote his entire time for three months of each year to his duties at not more than $4 a day. The assessing of property is to begin May 1 instead of June 1. The county assessor is to visit all the townships and confer with the township assors and instruct them in their duties and the work of the township assessors is to be gone over jointly by him and the county commissioners and the assessments revised. All assessments are to be made as near as may be to the true value in money. .The county boards of equalization meet on the second Monday In July for the performance of their duties. Section 42, with reference to bank taxation,' is changed so as to allow banks "also to deduct accrued and unearned interest, unpaid taxes, an amount not exceeding five per cent of the bills receivable of said institu tion to cover any other bond or in stallment of debts,' and also an amount equal to the true value of any shareaof stock owned in other North Carolina corporation upon which the tax is paid by the corpora tion issuring same." Mr. Doughton, chairman of the finance committee, explained that under present law the banks were paying more than their ; share of taxes, and the added exemp- i tions was a recognition of this fact and while the banks had asked for a ! great deal more concession than this gave them, he thought it was fair and just to adopt the section. Sec tion ii, reports from corporations, permits corporations to deduct the value of the shares of stock legally held by such corporation in other corporations incorporated in this state and r'5'ing taxes on its capital stock in t as state," etc. An unsuc cessful eiiort was made to change this section, An amendment was-o.TereJ to sec tion 20, exeirrthr? the a" ; i,t on fertilizers on LnnJ by a i - r v ho was g(vT t- u"e it n I t c crop.
