WHERE FARMERS ARE RICH
Look at the Danes today. They
are one of the richest, healthiest, and
I believe the happiest people of the
whole world. They stand high in ed
ucation ail cuiluna. T
The great success of the Danca has
come from the land. They are a na
tion of intensive farmers who, like the
good servants in the parable of the
talents, have taken what the Master
has givea them, ami by brains, indus
try, and business efficiency have mul
tiplied it many fold. They have thrown
off the shackles of the nobles* reduced
the great estate* to small holdings,
and by scientific fanning and stotck
raising have made every one of their
251),UU0 farms produce exports which
imagu $W -a mtmtfi all the year
through. This is so although more
il»,» K»if of the farms average only
thirteen acres apiece. The land not

and the rounfry its food, but
it yieldo alto exports e|ual to sev
enteen. dollars per annum for every

IN STRONG ADIHtKSS HEFORK
' NORTH CAROLINA EDI CA
TIONAL ASSOCIATION
DI'RHAM, Mar. 10.—"Character Oit
uration is the foundation of good cit
isenahip, and no teacher worthy of
the name ef teacher will rest content
m ministering only the intellectual
life acronliinr to prescribed rules and
regulations.'* Mta Elizabeth Kelly,
yiwiiieiit St the North Carolina Ed
ucation association, told educators at
the teachers' educational meeting here
(a*t night.
Miss Kelly .-wid character education
is a subject "written high on educa
tional program.*." Character educa
tion, she- said, "is a term which is as
indefinable as character itself, but
some of its factors are definable." In
to the formation of character," she
continued, "must enter those influen
ces which •letermitie the attitude of
the individual toward the various
phases of life
"In the main these factors may lie
termed: bodily, intellectual, social, ec
onomic. political, aesthetic and relig
ious life," she asserted. "If these sev
en factors go to make up the charac
ter of children, then it is the busi
ness of the teacher to have firsthand
knowledge of these factors as evidenc
ed in her community.
"The outsanding business of the
teacher is to aid the child in makniK
of himself the best possible citizen.
Just here, let it be nid that charac
ter based upon these seven factors,
in the life of the teacher, is worth
mure tb fit her fur teachiug than any
one factor developed to the Nth de
grec and personally. I donbt Serious
ly the ability of any teacher to teach
character education successfully, if
she ia net one who manifestly has
character herself.
"If the teacher is to be an effective
agent in character building, it fol
lows that she must have some first
hand knowledge of the tendencies and
movements iu community and state,
which moat dirertiy affect the char
acter development of the children
whoin she teaches.
"This knowledge ran not be gained
sufficiently from reading. ' It must
come from mixing with the various
groups that undertake to work out
the problems of each phase of life
as listed above. Few of us have the
power of creative planning, but most
of us have the ability to judge the
worth of plans. This ability ia guag>
ed by thoroughness of understanding,
and each community has the right to
expect of ita teacher at least an in
lelligeat understanding of community
activities."

SHERMAN SUMMARIZES
BOLL WEEVIL FACTS
MAKES STATEMENT IN REPLY
TO REQI"ESTS MADE BY
N. C. FARMERS
RALEIGH, Mar. 12.—"1n aiuwcr to
numerous requests, 1 ain giving once
more in simple outline, the genuine
ly proven method* for meeting the
boll weevil problem," says Prof. F.
A. Sherman, chief in entomology, the
North Carolina experiment station.
"1 know of uo substitute for study
ami careful work in this or any other
big problem, and 1 have no short cut
to complete success, nor is there any
'secret element' involved in it. We
have those jn the state who are grasp
ing at easy ways set forth by glar
ing advertisements, and they may go
their way, for, no such remedy has
my recommendation," he says.
Continuing, Mr. Sherman states,
"The main steps are these: (1» Cul
tural methods for securing the earliest
possible setting for the largest pos
sible crop. These have been explain
ed by Professors Williams, Pate, Gar
ren and Winters of the division of
agronomy, in articles appearing in
the papers and at meetings held out
over the state. (2)' The dust poison
method, which is applied chiefly in
lute July and August. (3) For those
who eannot dust, or who are in sec
lions where injur)- is less severe, the
picking up and burning of the fallen
squ&ro* until the end of July, is rec
ommended
"The dust poison method does, ca I
for considerable investment in ma
chinery beforehand, and gives best re
sults when doue at night. The farm
er who studies the directions and who
watches the progress of infestation in
his fields Has a line chance to make
his dusting highly profitable, while he
who merely 'dusts' blindly and without
system or understanding may waste
his poiMtn and not control the weevil.
We had seven tests of du.tted and un
dus ted cotton aide by side in 1922,
and in each case there was a net
profit after allowing all costs. The
average net psoftt on dusting for all
seven tests was over $22 per acre.
It certainly pays for one to know when
and how, and we appreciate the slo
gan «Do It Right or N'ot At All,'
better than our last year's experience.
There are always plenty of ways to
attempt a thing wrong, but very few
ways to do it right. We are prepar
ed to send the information to those
who apply and it is now high time
to he placing orders for the poison
and machines."
