Williams, North Caro lina College of Agriculture and En. glneering says: " The North Carolina State Fair has now one of the most educational premium lists for County, Individual Farm and Crop exhibits of any fair in the country. The old saying that "Fairs are timepieces that mark the progress of nations" was never more true than at the present time with fnirs properly orgsnized and con ducted. It is with gratitude that those interested in the progress of our State along various agricultural lines note the substantial and rapid progress with reference to not only the number of fairs being held each year, but particularly with reference to the educational value of the agri cultural exhibits of different kinds at them. They are approximating more nearly' each year what ideal agriculr tursl fairs should be;' especially is this true of the State Fair. The careful and intelligent selec tion snd exhibiting of agricultural and horticultural products, livestock and poultry of different kinds always has educational value not only for the producers of the crops and; stock exhibited, but also for all those who may' see and study the displays. - Under the splendid system, of Judging that has been established at the State Fair, the1 following are some of the features that will be taught and impressed: 1. The value of good seed of different crops selected ' by proper methods of seed selection. ' "2. The' importance knd value of growing the best suited varieties or types-of crops. - . " 8. The importance and value of proper classification snd grading of farm products. . .' 4. The value of suitable legumi nous crops in crop rotation for use in building up economicsll' t'he fer tility of out North Carolina soils and in providing hay for the needs of the farm. ," 6. The necessity on the part of the , farmers -tor providing for the production of erops with the right kind." of "cultivation and f ertililation ', Cr-The, '' Jfoportariee of ff the kinds of crops beet suited to the conditions and .needs of different farmers in different ... locations en gaged in varying lines of agriculture, in order that they may get most out of their fanning operations. .. :k - 7 -Help to crystalize in the public mind the best types of animals . of different kinds of livestock and pool try for the condition and needs, of North Carolina farms. , ' 8.

Proper methods of caring for and feeding livestock and poultry p.nd of. handling' the different pro ducts from them in such a way as to get the most out of their prod ciion, All fairs which are serving their pjoper funct5on are important edu cational agencies h) their various lo calities for taking directly te the people in - concrete form the - latest and most important information per taining to . agriculture, domestic sciences " and , household economics, stock raising, poultry raising, manu faeturing, mining,4road construction, etc, especially that which is of value to the people of each community in which the fairs .are held. , It can hardly be questioned that the most successful fairs are those .which, have competitive crop . exhibits from each eommnnitv as nrofitable cron grow ing is one of the biggest problems of the North -Carolina farmer.

Local banks in every section of ths state are cooper ating with the North Carolina Agri cultural Credit Corporation in mak ing marketing loans to members of the North - Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association to suppli ment the advance payments being made members by the association, ac cording to a statement issued last night from the office of John H. BouahalL, president of the Agricultur al Credit Corporation. The amount of the marketing loan on a 509 pound bale is $20, which is additional to the aasociational advance of $70 ble. From the reports that have been received, said Mr. Boushall, the local banks' really appreciate the work of the Credit Corporation. Already the Credit Corporation has ' arranged, through local banks in North Carolina loans for farmers who are members of the Cooperation Marketing Asso ciation, aggregating ' over a million dollars and" at a reasonable rate of in terest. Those banks who are work ing with the Agricultural Credit Cor poration report, that- this form of credit has been very helpful to the farmers in that it puts him on a cash basis, and is also helpful to the local banks In relieving them of a portion of the burdens of credit during crop production season.' 1 ... ' - Members of the Cotton- Growers Association can make their applica tion for the marketing loan at the time they make their drafts for the advance payments allowed by the as sociation. . These loans are arranged for the Cotton Growers Association, by the Credit Corporation and the funds sre secured from the Inter mediate. Credit Bank." Local banks through out. the cotton belt have the facilities and necessary blanks for se curing these marketing loans. Mem bers of the Association can also se cure any information from Receiving Agents and Warehousemen. , According to the revised scale the Cotton Association will make an ad vance' payment on each bale delivers ed as follows: Bales weighing 500 pounds and over, $70.00; between 1 and 499 pounds, inclusive, $C5; uvttcn 425 and 453, inclusive. $60; between 400 and 424 pounds, inclu sive, $55; between 350 and 399 ponnds, Inclusive, $50. In addition to these advance payments, the mem bers of the Association can secure by reason of ths arrangement made with, the Agricultural Credit Corporation additional marketing loans as follows: On all hales weighing 600 pounds or over, $20; between '460 and 499 pounds,, inclusive, $17.50; between 425 and 459 pounds; Inclusive, $15; between 400 and 424 pounds, inclu sivei $15; between 850 and 899 pounds, inclusive, $12.60. ' By reason of the working arrangement with the Agricultural Corporation, the mem bers of the Association can secure by advance payment and marketing loan $90 on every 600 pound delivered. Bales weighing less than 600 pounds will receive less . according to the scale' given above. ' ' ' '."'"" With the combination advance pay ment and the marketing loan, mem bers of the cooperative marketing as sociation will actually receive approx imately 76 per eent of the market value of the' cotton.' These advance payments snd marketing loans are, however, subject to changes depend ant upon the cotton market. " ; This will be of special importance to those ' members ;; of : the Cotton Growers Cooperative Association who. have mortgages against their crops, in that it will enable them to secure a larger' amount of money oil delivery of their cotton. Farmers who have not mortgaged their crops will be equally entitled to the arrangement made by the Credit Corporation. Squire Harper's Matrimonial . - Court Still Functioning.

Taking advantage of the dark ness and the heavy downpour of rain early Wednesday morning eight pris oners confined in the old county jail made a Successful break for liberty and are yet eluding the officers, who have been on the alert for them since the delivery. Although variuos ru mors have been circulated regarding one or more of them having possibly been seen at various points, when in vestigated these, reports .have been found untrue and the officers sre yet in ignorance as to the whereabouts of the escaped prisoners..,. The break was made from the tier of cells on the first floor of the old jail building, the prisoners on the second floor, apparently making no effort to follow the fleeing birds. The escape was perfected by the pris oners who tore up part of the de cayed metal flooring of the cell and through this hole they . managed to dig under - the flooring and to the corridor surrounding the cells. It required only a short time te pick a hole through the brick wall near the corner of a - window and it was through ' this holo the prisoners emerged into the open snd - were doubtless soon, hitting for the tall timbers. ' Six of the negroes were Nash County prisoners, while-two of them fwere being held for trial at Louis burg. Most of the prisoners t were charged with minor offenses, while Nathan Davis was awaiting- trial for the murder of another negro at Mo meyerJ and Tommie ' Hinton -was . charged with house-breaking.
