Increase Profits 1,000 Per Cent. The Progressive Farmer. Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, was not far from right when he estimated that we might increase by 800 per cent tne actual profits not the to tal earnings but the actual net prof its of the average Southern farm worker. He divided the 800 per cent increase as follows: 300 per cent by using more and better work stock, toolB and ma chinery. 200 per cent by raising more and better cattle, hogs, horses, poultry. etc. 150 per cent by better rotation, diversincatlon and cultivation. 50 per cent by better drainage. 50 per cent by using and growing better seed. 50 per cent by growing more le gumes and feed crops. There Is no doubt, we repeat, but that Dr. Knapp was about right as to its being possible to increase ac tual profits on the average Southern farm 800 per cent as indicated; but the golden opportunity does not end there. If Dr. Knapp were alive to day, with his ever-broadening vision, we have no doubt but that he would say that it is possible to Increase profits ten-fold, a full 1,000 per cent, by adding an extra 200 per cent as follows: 100 per cent by wiser marketing oi crops. 100 per cent by "better business," including avoidance of time pricea. Now much of this program can be carried out. it is true, by the indi vidual farmer himself, but for max imum results in nearly everything he should co-operate with his neigh bors: 1. For profitable marketing packing, grading, warehousing, sell ing, shipping there must of course be co-operation. 2. There should be co-operation In credit unions, savings and loan associations (as we pointed out last week), to enable all to avoid "time pricea." 3. There should be co-operation in buying and using uD-to-date farm tools, farm power, and machinery. 4. .Neighbors should Join togeth er ln buying pure-bred sires for Im proving stock, and in having all neighbors raise the, same breeds. 5. Co-operation 'in doing farm work helps all concerned. 6. Effective drainage work also usually calls for co-operation. ESSAY CONTEST. Attorney S. B.

Several weeks ago the Piedmont Tel. & Tel. Co. inaugurated a contest among the high school students of Gaston county for the three best es says on the subject of Rural Tele phones. Three cash prizes were of fered. flO, S5 and S2.50 in gold. Quite a number of students repre senting various high schools in the county entered the contest and sub mitted some very creditable papers After careful examination by the judges, the following were awarded the gold prizes: Miss Margaret Par- ham, or' the Gastonia High School, first prize. $10; Mr. Lester C. Sipe. of the Cherryvllle High School, sec ond prize. So: Miss E. Male Plyler, of the Lowell High School, third prize, 12.50. It was a source of regret to the Telephone Company that they were unable to present prizes to each of the contestants, Inasmuch as all the papers showed splendid effort and a lot of concentrated work. The gold prizes were presented to the winners Saturday morning Just after the spelling contest held at th Central school auditorium. Mr. Kenneth Babington had charge of the contest for the Telephone Com pany and presided at that part of the meeting Saturday. It was also intended to have Miss Parbam's pa per read at that time, but as the hour was so late, this was dispensed with. The Telephone Company desires to make honorable mention of the papers which were received by the following boys and girls of the coun ty: Ferrie Huffs teller, of the Union high school; Frank Robinson, Jr., and Laura Titman. of the Lowell high school; Mamie Moss. Vance Sellers, Vlrgie Eaker, Everett D1- unger ana Ruth Harrelson. of the Cherryvllle high school; Robert, Ed ward Boyd, Clara Crawley, Maxa Bradley.

The telephone company expects to conduct another essay contest next year, similar in most respects to the one Just terminated. The subject matter may be changed but the priz es and other details will Drobably be the same. The essay which won the first prize is published elsewhere ln today's Gazette. TODAY'S POEM IN THE SPRING. It's the spring when love keeps beat ing At our hearts until they glow; It's the spring when like a violet Love within us starts to grow; It's the spring when earth and heav en In one music far and glad Sing the song of love forever And the heart of youth is mad. It's the spring when love comes steallnr Like a blossom to the breast; It's the spring when birds are mat ing And the robin builds its nest;' It's the spring when men and wo men In the surging flood of strife Find the sweet dreams alluring To the rosy gates of lif It's the spring when fancy flutters Like a butterfly before Every footstep, and love mutters Its sweet message at the door; It's the spring when fay and fairy Through the mist of mead and dell Dance to laughter sweet and cherry. And the world's ln beauty's spell. It's the spring when love keeps call ing. And when you follow glow and gleam ; It s the spring when dews are falling In the rosy vales of dream: It's the spring when men grow softer. Arid when women turn to gold In that tenderness of loving That they learned from Eve of old. The Bentztown Bard.

Nobody doubts, for example, but that what the South ought to do is to feed itself first feed its peo ple and its animals, leaving Its bil lion-dollar cotton crop free of debt. We can't quite do this, but we could come amazingly near It, and if we did as well as we could, the South would soon be about as near an El Dorado for wealth as anybody ought to wish for. And here the point ts. Brother Reader, that whether or not the South as a whole adopts this wise policy in 1916, It s one you can adopt on your own farm, and with correspondingly good results. COT EIMII CHILDREN ever receive the proper balance oftbod to sufficiently nourish both body and brain during the growing period when nature's demands are greater than in mature life. This is shown in so many pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds, and lack of ambition. For all such children we say with unmistakable earnestness: They need Scott's Emulsion, and need it now. It possesses in concentrated form the very food elements to enrich their blood. It changes weakness to strength; it makes the n sturdy and strong. No alcohol. Scott Bowne, BtoomfieJd.1T. J.
