Foreign Advertising Representative (A THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION When the mUk scales come into the milk house, thY'boardcr cow goes-out. ; The news that one man in Germany has murdered forty persons indicates that human life has depreciated al most as much as the paper mark., The report that a superintendent of education had been caught selling high school diplomas at $o apiece failed to give his quotations on the frames and glass. No wonder there were so many divorces in the old days before mah jongg and the radio were invented to keep pa and ma and the children at home evenings. Meet your neighbor at the Farmers State Convention to be held at State College, July 23, 24 and 25. Plenty of good food both for brain and stomach will be served at this farm gathering The kitchens of rural North Caro lina homes are being transformed into efficient work shops through the work of the home demonstration agents of the State College extension division. Each day the mail brings letters to the State College from people who wish to settle on farms in North Carolina. Agricultural workers of the Callcge staff try to locate the people pleasantly. The following is clipped frpm an exchange: "Due to the large number of ads in the' paper -this week,, all available spac has been taken, and there are a couple of births that will have to be postponed till next week." Every boy and girl who is a mem ber of the pure-bred sheep club ot Big .Horn, Wyo., sleeps unde'r blanket made of wool from his own sheep, according to. reports to , th United States Department of Agr. culture. There are 5,658,669 hens of laying age in this State but their average production is so low that we have only half an egg per person each day, figure marketing experts. They ad vise therefore selling the culls co operatively and building up the flocks. The following testimonial from a grateful woman recently appeared in a patent medicine advertisement: "Your medicine has helped me won derfully. A month a,go I did not have strength enough to. spank the baby and now I am able to thrash my hus band. Heaven bless you." improved methods ot growing wheat, to produce better grain and grow it more eeoncfrnically, advocated by agricultural ., extension workers were adopted on over 90,000 farms in 1922, according to reports to the United "States Department of Agri culture. One and a quarter million bushels of seed wheat were treated by farmers for smut in this connec tion. Nearly 4,000,000 hogs were slaugh tered during July of this year in establishments operated under Fed era! meat inspection, breaking al previous records for hog slaughter during that month. The exact man ber slaughtered and inspected, ac cording to the records of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States i. ' i a . ueparimeni oi Agriculture, was 3,983,435. This number breaks the best previous July record, which oc curred last year, by 879,113 hogs. Any hope that the United States may depend upon imports of lumber when this country's own forests are exhausted must be abandoned, says J'orest service. United States Depart ment of Agriculture.' Attention is called to the fact that this country is .using up its forests four times as rapidty as they are being replaced forest tires alone burn over 7.000.1 acres of forest land every year, des troying not only mature, trees but what is worse the young growth as well.-., . FEDERAL AID AS IT IS Roads on which the National (iov- rnnient furnishes funds to assist the tates are in two classes-primary id secondary. Primary highways . . " i -i i i. re interstate, wnue sciuiwaiy uln ars are intetcounty roads corrclat- ng with primary thoroughfares. The total mileage in an w on wniui deral aid may be jAan not cx- e'ed 7 per cent of the total mileage f all public roads in that State. " The rimary system must not exceed hree-sevenths of the total eligible for ederal aid, and on this three- evenths not more, than 60 per cent f the Federal funds available for any- State may be spent, 'except by agree ment between th State Koad"(om- mission and the Secretary 6f Agri- ulture. ... Federal road funds are apportioned mong the States agreeing to match he amounts, as follows : One,-third in the ratio which the area of each State ears to the area of all the States; one third in-the ratio which the popu- tion of each State bears to the pop- plation of all the States-; one-third in he ratio which the mileage ot rural lelivery routes and star routes in ach State bears to the mileage or ural delivery and star routes in all he States. , The Federal . road system is in- ended to give "the maximum" of ser vice to the greatest possible' number. There are FIJI cities in the United States of 3,000 or more inhabitants', and 1,048 of there are located on Fed- ral routes. Of the total population of the United States. 90 per cent live on or within, ten miles of highways included in the Federal system. Proponents of national nighwavs, built and forever maintained by the National Government, point out that all such calculations and apportion ments will be unnecessary under their plan, and that the ends of efficiency, economy, and speed in building roads can be better served by one central authority in absolute control than by forty-tight road commissions work- ma n rmnnnrttnn with a rpntral au thority, between which an agreement must be had before work is done. Real national highway believers are not against FcderaUaid to roads, since they recognize that any agency which build? roads, which creates sentiment for good, roads, ' which causes use tnd spread of hard:surfaee highways, is an argument for national highways. National highway program indorsers believe that their plan, of a central authority, a central force pay ing the bills,' and a cent'ral.organiza- tion niamtm'iig the highways, will produce ir,c Tef highways, . produce thtm quicker, ar.d produce them with greater economy and therefore great er value to the body politic than any other plan. , Ellijay Items.

Attention! , When the good roads are completed it; will most likely be' very profitable to keep dairy cows' and have sub creamery stations ten or fifteen miles from Franklin and let trucks make regular trips collecting cream cans and take them to the central station Until that time comes perhaps it may be more profitable to some of us '"back in the sticks," to keep beef cat tie. 'Beyond the shadow of a doubt, the co-operative poultry 6ale Ha brought many hundreds of dollars in "cold cash" to the farmers hands that would have never reached them if the poultry had been marketed in the usual way to the local, merchants Now let's try our luck at marketing cattle and sheep co-operatively. Let work in a similar manner to the poul try let our county agent know what we have for sale and no doubt he can bring about .satisfactory results Write him today don't delay if you have cattle or sheep to sell this way, farmers, In union there is strength."

Georgia Peach Crop Largest in History The work of the Bureau of Ento mology in controlling insects affect ing peach trees is showing its effect in a marked' way in at least two States Georgia and Indiana. Cur culio infestation at the present time is lighter in the Georgia . peach belt than at any time since the curculio suppression campaign was started four years ago. The quality of the ruit on the frees is the best since 918, and there are very few indica tions of curculio work. Georgia will in all probability harvest this year the largest crop that has ever been produced in the State. The, United States Department of Agriculture, has also been interested the use of paradichlorobenzene in southern Indiana for the control of the peach tree borer. The extent o which this chemical treatment has been adopted by the growers was gratifying. It was impossible to find a commercial orchard of any size which had not been so treated. There was almost total absence ,of borers from the treated orchards, most of which have now had three annual reatments. In the best orchards less than 1 per cent of the trees examined bowed any sign ot recent borer in festation, while . untreated trees m this' section are absolutely infested. The public should see the effects of his work in large crops trom these wo States. ',' Smokers Cause 862 Fires in Forests During 1923 Carelessness with cigars, cigarettes, pipe ashCk ana matcnes was me t . i. cause of M-' iorest fires within' the boundaries of national forests during 1923, according to figures recently compiled by the Forest Service, United States Department of Agri culture.' The damage caused by these smok ers hres is estimated at ?ji,uw, ex elusive of the indirect and intangible d?mage to young growth, watershed pretection, wild life, and, .recreational facilities. One of the objects of forest protec tion week, which President Coolidge set side last April by proclamation was to emphasize the need of care with fire while in wooded areas. Th number of smokers' fires eloquently tell of the need for public education, forestry officials assert, if. the fire hazard in America's woodlands is to be stamped out. Equipping' automobiles with ash re ceptacles is one of the things advo cated for overcoming the tendency to flip burning tobacco ashes over the side of -the car into leaves, brush, and other highly inflammable material usually lying along highways bor dered by trees.
