C., un der act of March 3rd, 1878. Every little village has some guy who thinks he ought to be a local dictator. Whenever a speaker depends upon denunciation rather than argument, the conclusion is inescapable -that he has a poor cause. Civilized communities, should n\ake every week count for something u the development of human beings an_ their welfare. If all the bills thai introduced in all the legislatures of all the states could be made into one great hill, it would be some bill. Advertising won't do any business any good unless it is intelligently prepared and wisely placed; brains make advertising profitable. There are men in the nation who managed to escape death during the festivities of the Fourth of July only to face the barrage of the hunting season. BOTH ARE VALUABLE Let's not make the mistake of un derestimating intelligence. Too many people take every op portunity to say smart things about the man of book intelligence, suggest ing that they believe that this is a big joke. No problem of the world wiH be solved by emotions. No great bene fit comes to the world except through change. Thousands of experiments would have been valueless without a! trained mind to read their messages I and apply them truthfully. ^ It's all right for a man to take pride in his experience, garnered through the years. He has something that is distinctly an asset to him. However, let him not under-estimate the value of so-called book-intelli gence, if he has little of it Experience and intelligence togeth er will solve many problems that nei ther alone can handle. The man with out either is handicapped. He who pokes fun at intelligence is as foolish as the book worm who imagines he can understand life from reading be tween covers of the printed page. NEW WAYS TO ASSESS LAND Fanners and rural landowners of Pitt County may be interested in a new plan for the assessment of rural land, which has been adpoted by the county assessor of San Diego, CaL Using a classification, based on a soil survey made by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, the land is grad ed as to depth of soil and suitability to agriculture, ranging from $80 an acre for the best land to 80 cents an acre for rocky, non-tillable mountain land. The National Association of As sessing Officers points out that from these base values the assessed value is determined by additional factors, such as water supply, climatic condi tions and location in regards to high ways, community centers and trans portation facilities. A citizens' com mittee checks the rating factors. This plan, it seems to us, is a great advance over the hit and miss meth ods Oat are generally used in making land assessments. Nearly everybody knows that there is discrimination even if the proper officials do their be*-to make the tax burden equita ble. ?. - ?

STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: Is there any fertili zer value to tobacco stalks? ANSWER: Green tobacco stalks plowed under carry a certain amount of plant food, but the greatest bene fit from plowing under the stalks comes from the destruction of insect pests. The suckers that grow on stalks left standing furnish a breed ing place for millions of these pests which attack the crop next season. Immeriately after the harvest all stalks should be cut or plowed under. In this way the insects will be de stroyed and the available plant food put back into the soil. QUESTION: When should lespede za be cut for hay? ANSWER: This crop should be cut when it reaches a height of 15 inches or when it is in full bloom, whichever occurs first. For the Korean variety the average dates for cutting is from August 1 to Septem ber 1, and from August 15 to Octo ber 1 for the other varieties. To delay harvest will usually injury, the quality through loss of the lower leaves. However, if July and August are dry and September wet, it will pay to delay mowing the Common, Tennessee 76, and Kobe varieties as the main growth of these will take place in the latter month. QUESTION: Is there any way of telling how long a hen haa been in molt? ANSWER: The way in which a hen molts her primary wing feathers may be used as a measure in estimat ing how long the molt* has been in progress. The inner primary feathers are usually dropped as soon as the bird stops laying. A new quill then starts which takes about six weeks to become full grown. To estimate the time of beginning of molt allow six weeks for the first full grown feather and two weeks for each ad ditional feather, grown to full size: In late molters two or more primary feathers may be dropped at the same timA ano these must be counted as one in estimating the time of molt. GOOD RESULTS ; E. P. Scholtz, of the Steele Creek community in Merklenburg County, secured such good results from, an ex- . perim0"*3*1 seeding of crimson clover last fall that he intends to make this an annual praetiue. ? .& ? ? ? ?
