Sines thea there bat been subscribed by manufacturers of fer tilisers about 500 more,' miking about 11,000 to bo gTrea to tbo boys who excel in growing corn. Ia asaay coun ties the number of boys entering ths contest has been disappointing. ' la view ox this I am going to bold my books open . through the month of Jane, and win enroll any boy of the right an woo sends in hia applica tion.' Then is yet a fine oooortunitT rfor tout boy who hat not entered to do to and win a prise. There will be about $100 worth of prises to each Boys' Cornclub district. So far Wilke ia tbo banner Cora club county in tbo State. The county superintendent of that county, Mr. C. C, Wright, bat tent ia 133 applica tions. If every county in tbo state would do at Well ao Wilkes wo would havo mora than 10,000 boys In the contest studying com growing and laying tho foundation for better and more profitable fanning against the day when they shall become men and undertake the responsibilities ,: they will then assume. What state,' agn culturally, North Carolina might be come in a few years if we had 10,000 of her fast boys now studying how to grow mora corn and - incidentally learning the foundation for better farming ; along all lines. - Enough county pride should possess every progretnvo person in tbo district to encourage bun to give tho movement tho benefit of his or bar influence. Let tbo fathers and mother of the boys in the district encourage them to enter he contest and too now much corn they oaa grow on an aero. The ex perience wll be worth a great deal, even though they should not win a price. Besides wo, hope to continue this work; and if $ boy faila to get a prist this year he atands ft better chance of getting one next yetr if he enters tht contest now thanl- if be waits until 1912 to enter. I fchall be pleased to send blanks to any boy who wishes' to enter the contest. Do not write to me to enter your name, but ask for a blank to fill out, as only those who have signed spplieations in my office will be con sidered members of tbo Corn club. I will send with the application blank one of our Boys' Corn club buttons. T. B. PARKER, ., . Director Boyt- Corn Clubs. Raleigh, N. O; Juno 6, 1911. Rev. O. T.

Tbo aldermen of the city of Char lotto havo made arrangements for ex periments with oil sprinkling the ob ject of the sprinkling of course being to keep down the dust. Here is an in stance where we can save much time and goodness knows how much dis comfort, inconvenience and'' annoy ance by profiting by the other fellow's experience. The enterprising and wide-awake city of Concord sprink led two or three blocks of or dinary, macadam street, with the usual amount of dust on the surface, six weeks ago. There has been no dust on that street since, while on either side on the section treated the dust is terrific If Charlotte wants to lay the dust, why let's get busy and do the sprinkling now. If the oil lays Con cord dust, it will probably just as successfully keep down Charlotte dust and germs. Residence and Contents Destroyed by . .a-i-vi-ii.

The people of North Carolina are entitled to fatter depots and to better accommodations ou the trains. A Raleigh genleman, who recently trav eled in the day coach from Washing ton to Richmond on the R. F. & P. said: "The service was (rood, the cars were clean, there was soap and a tow el and cleanliness in the toilet room. and the passengers were not compelled to pay a tax to Pullman to travel comfortably and wash his hands upon Hearing his destination.". JIow does this contrast with most dsy trains in JNortn Carolina! loo many of the de pots in this State are ill kept and cramped. The Canton Observer in a recent issue says: "Canton ought to have a better de pot. The present one is a dirty old structure and the waiting room (with out ladies toilet) ig a sight to behold. Rat beds are sticking through the cracks from the overhead ceiling. Surely a place like Canton is entitled to something better. ' ' The railroad authorities should, up on their own initiative, remedy these conditions, but as they will not do so, but permit dirty depots and no prop er accommodation on their trains, the Corporation Commission should delay no longer to require every railroad to provide clean and necessary ac commodations in their depots and on the care. The traveling public has waited and requested these rights for months and years. As the railroads seems to be inefficient it is up to the Commission to act, and to act without delay.

The North Carolina Corporation Commission announced its opinion that the cities and incorporated towns n this State have the right- to leave the actual fixing of the tax rates for city purposes this year until after the new tax valuations are made. The matter can be opened at the June meetings this week and final action deferred until the new tax valuations are finished and in hand. It is ex pected that the re-assessments this year will greatly increase the aggre gate, so that it will be possible to have lower tax rates in many towns and cities.
