IJ-VOI '• Q. 'K RF.SI'LTS USE A V AD is rnis P\r .R VOLUME XXII—NUMBER 3 VERY FE# NEW BILLS ARE , INTRODUCED IN LEGISLATURE The legislature seems detennineil | to make fevw mistakes at this ses-1 sion as fewer bills have been intro-1 dueed than at any * se'ssion in many! years. A.o,er.,rall, this may be best, j just let things no on in the same good j old way. ; • "> But the road- of the state are in] sellout need of some construction | work. Work whieff can only be done I by State legislation. The Education ; *I system also seemes to need reli 11 but as yet nothing seems to be in | Sight, except a set determination t. make lavish appropriations lor the State University.. No one denies th - need of the University hut free tin j tion to every person in North Carolina j at thel'niversity mean* that the rich will get free tuition because the son ctf the wealthy can go to Chapel Hi I while the sons and daughters of tit poor will never advance far enough loj enter the I nivcibiiy. Why build suvl J A troug central iuatitutioi, and nc- -, le> ' the general educ.it en of tin' m&iwCc? The education tliat counts most is that education that is carric nearest the homes of the rank and file of the folks. We are not kicking the University, but are appealing in behalf of the great mass of folks, the common folks, to give them better opportunities in life by giving them a better cbanco for an education. Certainly we need mure College men, the best way ti got them is to give al lu chance i then the worthy ones, th ical mei ■will go to collet bilt the college nee ] not be built first. Of course the wav of prosperity jusLparsed indicates the greater need of the college facilities in the State but when the poverty mill grinds awhile perhapsithings will not be so crowded We want the J,«jfisla ture to do more for education in Noith Caiolinu but don't ilo it all in free tuition where tlje average man and below cun never go, only those whi are able to qualify for college de green. The Legislature seems inclined to look with favor upon increasing sal Jtries. They iaisod the salaries of some of the State officers, wfl). enough the salaries now paid n.rc rmne too high, but the proposition tu pas re tiring judg«to. three-.f6urfhs pay oeems a little untimely u» the fellows scat teied ovei the State wlro lire not able "*tr 7 i ir;r r th°irtTff m ; -«*rrr fr. ft Ty" that -there aiesoma. fipe judges and there are some mighty orry ones some wise judges and some noi so *i>e Tin I ', are r»thim more th just cjoinnion'huinan beiivf and who: t,c y end'a s-rvi efo'r.ti .

The club birds were entered in open coni j petition with the professicjnal breed | el's oi the United States, Canada and England, and North Carolina was the | only state represented by a club ex I hibit. ' lu black Langshan hens the North | Carolina entry took second place with I u bird pronounced one of the most j wonderfully colored hens ever seen, j It 1 ailed to place first because a few tail feathers were bent artel broken during the long trip North. Among the Hull' Ply mouth Rock cockerals, with 17 entries, a N. C. club bird took third prize; while in tiie pudet ciass a club bird took fifti. among 16 entries. The Buff Plymout., pullet class was one of tiie "hottest' classes the Madison Square show ha. r.eeen in years, according to A. ti. Olivei, in chaige of poultry clubs in North Carolina. Throughout the show a large dis play cage containing ten Rhode ls j land Red cockerals bearing a label, "North Carolina Hoys and Girls Poul- I try Clubs" occupied the center of the I (.ardeu. next to the big fountain and j fancy waterfowl exhibit. The "reds" j attracted much attention and coin I nieut and the ten birds were sold ,at | the close of the show to ten different j breeders.

Farm. Demonstration A gent, the Board of County Commis sioners have, in my opinion, made a mistake which the farmers of Martin county can ill afford at this time. The fact that it was done in the name of economy does not lessen the error, if it be an error. The high priced lands of 1!»19 and the slump in prices of farm product in 11)20 have left in their wake new farming problems that are pressing for solution. A wise, conservative agent, such as Mr. J. L. Holliday ha proven himself to be, can render great service in aiding us in getting a coi rect answer to our problems. Probably ninety or ninety-five pei cent of our farmers did not sel 1 then lands at the high prices, but have placed new value 011 them and are keenly interested in making them pav interest on the nw. value. The five or ten per cent who bought high priced lands mostly on time, must make more than interest or default in payment and lose all. The farmers of the county, tenant us well a. lundiord, are fired with a new zeal and are goini' into this year work to recoup then losses in 1!(20. They are, howveer, in doubt as to what to p.ant how to fertilise, what price to offer labor, etc The wise counsel qf Joe Holliday would probably be worth In year's salary along this one line to th; furoiftrs troubled with these questions. Speaking of economy, I am advised that tiie County has been pay-inn *7." per month as its pro rata share of 'the Agent's salary, which just about equal* 8 days wages fin the average • bricklayer or carpenter. 1 believe the county will suffer a greater |oxs than is apparent if this work is not re-established and hope that the Board of Commissioner- will 'see their way clear to co-operate ie every \twy possible with the farmmt interests of the county. Funning*, as everyone knows, is tin one business thilt food- the world and creates most of its wealth and, there fore, should have a square deal. Yours very truly, J. G. GODARD. Jan. 2i>, 1921. \ lit LL 4»N CAROLINA ...

Guston County, l.ast year we Jju It thirty-one new mills, against a to a. of fifty in the entire south, includii y Maryland. She new spindles brough' into operation during 1920 in th southern states were 711 t lousand 543 thousand of these spindles were set up in North Carolina alone. Th South added nineteen thousand ne looms and fourteen thousand of th 6 e were in North Carolina. Our textile people are puzzled ovei the collapse in the market price of cotton goods', and a good mans mill were temporarily closed down durini the holiday season. Nevertheless they knuw that no area in the known world offers greater opportunities for ex punsion in textile industries, than tin South offers today and in the 111 ilefinite future.
