The most progressive and success ful farmer that we know la that state stopped pulling his fodder twelve years ago. He maintained that the fodder was barely worth the labor that it takes to harvest It and that in the stripping of the corn stalks, the corn crop was Injured to a certain extent besides. Whether the reader agrees with either or both of these posltiois or not? It muRt be admitted that jhe practice of leaving the tydder on the stalk is becoming more general. In this connection we note that the state departmnt of agriculture has set Itself tt the task of stopping fodder pullln' altogether in North Carolina b getting so much other f oraee essar to save the fodder. These exBi'.s agree witn our farmer friend own in South Carolina, as the fol lowing statement prepared by the Department will show: ' ' One method is to pull one blade of fodder by hand at a time. This Is not only slow and therefore ex pensive, but It comes usually in the hottest part of the year. The other way Is to grow clover, cowpeas and other leguminous crops and harvest them by horse-power, cutting swath 3 or 4 feet wide, with the cycle bade running almost at light nlng speed. Certainly1 any business farmr will admit, even without .entlnt; It, that the latter plan Is more economical. It Is a question, In oth er words, of the farmer increasing lis work power, and therefore his earning capacity. "Mot farmers who pull fodder eviry yer do so not because they tire compelled to. ,but because they are in the habit of doing so. it Is now time to get ready to obviate the necessity of having to pull fod dcr this year. "The thing td do is to grow some of the splendid crops that are so v-el adap'ed to that purpose.. A former who does this a few times will not have to resort to the anti quated method of stripping his corn leaves. It Js not only two expen slve. but very often a. few rains will t'eVtroy the fodder after It has been pul'ed. and therefore the farmer loses his forage, his labor and has also reduced hit corn yleK For the heaviest yield of corn the leaves of the plant should be left on thl.t ttstk until the corn It well matured, because these leaves are necessary in the plants process of growth and maturity. - , - sjf ij .:, ,i ' Among several good crops that may he plan'ed right away, the fol lowing may be mentioned: Cowpetyj which are too well known to . re quire any comment; soybeans, which are some what more valuable than cowpeas, and are grown mainly In 'be eastern counties of the State. The growth of this crop should be extended throughout the whole State There are also severargrasses which may be planted now. Even the wild grasses If given the proper chance, will grow and make good forage Sudan grass Is somewhat new In this State, but has been sufficiently tried to prove Its splendid worth for forage purposes. It should not be planted on poor land,, however, tinleps well fertilized. "There are several millets which may H plnnled In April, May. June and July. Among the best are pearl or cattail millet German millet and Hungarian millet. These are excel make cplendid hay. They may be cut several times during the season. "Velvet beans are aleo well adapt ed to the eastern half of the State, and may be. planted In May and June. They are not very suitable for mowing as forage, but, better than this, they furnish good winter forage In the field in December, Jan uary and February without being mowed. They are also one of the best soil renovators. Another good feature about them is that they are adapted to poor land. Thousands of acres of our depleted soils should be planted to velvet beans right away. There are many good varieties but the Japanese and hundred-day are among the best. These are heavy ylelders of both seed and forage. They cost less for seeding per acre than do cowpeas . "Stock beets are not very well known In this section, but when planted in the spring or early sum mer they stand in the soil during the winter and make a tremendous tonnage of succulent feed; crops of as much as 50 tons per acre having been produced. Six pounds of seed will plant an acre. They are to be planted In March, April andMay, and then again In July and Aiuust. "The sorghums, while not making the very best quality of forage, yet when the big vlelds per acre are con sidered, are well worth planting. An acre of sorghum will produce ten times as much, forage as the leaves stripped fronan acre of corn. The early amber and orange are well adapted t6 crowing In this state."

The words' sound well and the syrup tastts good and both are a good advertisement and an honest ope. The output of Canning Club syrup was bought by Mr. Geo. W. Twlddy last fall and Mr. Twlddy wrote at once to the Sta'e Food Chemist In regard to the proper label to be used on the cans. The State Chemist, Mr. W. M. Al len replied that It could, of course be labelled "Molasses," but that It was "Better than Molasses," because the name molasses Implies that part of the sugar has been removed, mak ing It a less valuable product. In the Canning Club syrup the juice of the cane has merely been evaporat ed without removing any, of the sugar. Mr. Allen stated that this syiup Is a very choice product and should properly be . labelled, "Sor ghum," Sorghum Syrup,'' "Home Made Sorghum Syrup," or "Country Made Sorghum Syrup." The label secured is an attractive one piin ed In three colors, with a picture of growing cane on the one side and of syrup making on the other, and the full wording is as follows: "Golden Glow Sorghum, Contents 1 quart. Made and canned express Jy for Geo. W. Twlddy. Elizabeth City, N. C. Pure, clean and .whole some. Good on Bread. Better than Molasses. A product of Pasquotank County, North Carolina." The Aivanee man speaks that he knows and testifies that he has tast ed when he avouches that every word on the label is true. Do the folks read The Advance? It rather looks is if they watch the editorial column anyway. A three line editorial announcement recent ly aroused ln'erest and comment al over the city. The editor could scarcely get about for a day or twd on account of ti e many questions asked him about the Dally Advance. The country people showed interest too. They were asking about It at Dare Court last week. " i FOR RENT House on Burgess Street. Perry. Apply to Morrlsette and June 1-2 $500 takes finest roadster In Nor folk.

Sat mon Room Pound SHALL THE STORES CLOSE? Three years ago the progressive" business men cf Elizabeth City an nounced the closing of their stores for Friday afternoons during the months of July and August, givin? their employees an opportunity for rest and recreation through the most trying weather of the year and makin them more 'fit' for tl long Saturday following. J The next year the nunib of stores co-operating in the Friday closing plan was larger and last year the movement oiuended even further. Every Xierchant who tried the summf vacation plan fminil that Vi n lost nothing and Friday afternoon gained much. became the time for many pleasant excurskms for the young people of the city, some of the merchants ertertalned their entire force dur ing the half holiday, and good fel lowship prevailed while the hottest weather was on hand to try the best of dispositions. With a worthy precedent so well established, let us not go hack- ward this season. Give the Ad vance an opportunity to announce next week, "Stores Close Friday afternoon, beginning July First."
