The farmers through institu tes and education have been awaken- e<l more than ever before to the pos sibilities and opportunities of their farms, and have determined to take advantage of these opportunitie-s.

People are coming in from all sides, and the work has been heavy. The biggest day 1 have had was last week at Spring Hope. 337 were vaccinated and pro bably 250 more turned away becau.se the vaccine gave out. I never had a hookworm campaign in which so muob interest was shown.” Administering the vaccine is practi cally painless. It does not hurt near ly so much as being stuck with a needle or pin. No open or running sore results as in the case of small pox vaccine. A slight swelling usual ly occurs, and some soreness and tenderness, but these begin to subside after twelve or fifteen hours and dis appear in from thirty-six to _ forty- eight hours. Moderate headache oJ- curs' in about one person out of twenty, and in rare instances, one per cent or less, this symptom is quite severe. No serious results have ever occurred either in this state or in the hundreds of thousands of cases in tho army or navy. Three applications about a week or ten days apart are] necessary to produce immunity. | As to efficiency, it may be said that in the army where statistics are avail able anti-typhoid vaccination has re duced the typhoid case rate to less than one per cent of what it was prior to vaccination, and the typhoid death rate was entirely abolished last year. The length ot immunity conferred Ly the vaccine is not known, but it io thought to be at least four years. At least it is well worth one’s trouble to be vaccinated when we recall that 1,- 200 North Carolinians died of typhoid last year and about 15,000 were sick for several weeks with heavy loss from doctors’ bills and other expeii- fces. to improvi- ihetr larnis and make bet ter crops. I have in mind to say something of till' magnilieietit crops now growing on the farm of Mr. O. L. Joyner, his home place , two-and-a-half miles above Greenville, .Not only are tlies.* crops admired by all of us that pass that way, but people from town drive out to look at them. Along the roa.I are thirty acres in tobacco as fine as any one can wish lo see. It will al most hide a tall man in walking through it, and will average 5 feet. It is being topped 20 to 24 leaves higii. and when you consider that Ordinarily 14 to l."> leaves high is a good crop, you get and idea of how fine this is, ••\s to other erfips on this s;ane farm -Mr, Joyner has thirty acres in peanuts that are luxurious in growth, forty- five acres in corn from which he ex pects to gather not less than five hundred barrels, and about a hundred acres in allalt'a, crimson clover, peas, and other forage crops. He ^expects to- I lit a crop of jieavino hay by the first of .-\ugust and will follow it with three other cuttings ten days aparr, having planted with that view. His extenrsive forage crops are bccause of his stock farm which is his chief pride. In one pasture he has a large drove of sheep, and in two others head of hogs, most of them red Duroc breed, while his cattle pasture anif dairy barns together contain about 75 head of fine cattle. liy a thorough system of tiling and constant improvement Mr. Joyner has brought this farm to a high state ot cultivation. Just now he is installing a ram with pipe lines from a flowing spring reservoir to large tanks in the pastures to keep his stock sup plied with an abundance of running V a ter. I regard Mr. Joyner as a model, scientific farmer who is setting a good example, and Pitt county would be much better off to have a large number like him.
