Six Miles From New Bern

The Trent river country is a wonder
1 Mid to one to whom its ecf nrs have r ot
become commonplace through ft miliar
ity. Twelve and a hlf miles oti -lee
Trent, which, looks i here-" for .all f be
world til a same as it did when De-
Graffeoreid'n hind roe ' rowed op " i
hit g a'org in 16'.)4, great dt posits of
carbonated lime, (rca'citiu carboratr,
rise in Diotta rrom tne water, rnis la
the first of the fhell deposits available
f or plant ford In iha i atural state
Tli' re are so-called marl teds scattered
all over this coas'al plain, tut these
banks are composed of Something en
tirely differcn' remains of shellfish
instead of a mixture of c'av and sand
Amorg the things about (he Trent
river section that appealtd most strong
ly to the Journal man were the wond
erfully productive soil and the natural
shell deposits that seem to be nature's
own storehouse of the most valuable
minerals as the scientists classify
these marine deposits. Dr. Jos. Hyde
Pratt, State geologist, has made the
assertion that these mines of natural
shell lime are the most va'uable of
nature's gifts in the state.
The river is a very picturesque
Stream, deep and winding, with here
and there a little cove just covered
with pond lilies, but the scenery cannot
be coined into money unless the captain
of the steamer Howard should de ide
to advertisers river as "the scenic
route of Carolina," or something of
tbat kind, but the lima banks are ready
money right now.
Six miles from New. Bern, tin the
north bank of the Treot, stands the
kiln of tie Chemical Lime Company,
operated by local capitalists, who burn
(he hard rock, a composition of shells
which when burned makes a lime super
ior to that from strn. A big bank of
this shell rock occurs about nine miles
from the city, rising r gUt from the
river bank. C'03e inspection of' this
bluff, which rises f urn the water per
haps twenty feet or more, chows that
it is composed of lare clam shells,
oyBter, musa 11 and cjnk shells,-packed
together as though they had been eub
jectrd to pressure in a hydraulic press.
ilaOy of them are perfectly preserved
Large clem shells project from the
aides of the cliff as the; do from some
of the Icdian shell mounds, like the
one on Shell Point, Harker's Island,
for instance. Trees send their rcots
far down through this "rock" and grow
luxuriantly.
When one considers tbat this is 60
mites from the ocean, and at a consid
erable elevatioo, wonder grows at such
phenomena. -
Abe khiskereJ old siheoner captain
upon hia return from his firjt trip up
the Trent, declared that these high
banks, so strange in a low, swampy
region, were the result of an earthquake
and the river bed was the crack left by
a gerlogie fault Scien tlstr,"nowever,
among whom are Prof. Jos. Hyde
Pratt and Edwin C. E:kehv .geologists
of Washington, D. C, claim that these
are simply natural formations of shell
fish remains, left by receding waters
millions of year ago. Anyway, a
prehistoric skeleton was discovered in
one of the piles several years ago
Aside from occasional glimpses of
patches of corn, that look as though
they might ba cultivated by the aborig

forests is o be seen from a boat on Ihe

The Pate farm, recently purchased
by the Egrot Plantation Company, is
undergoing many change. There were
but fifty acrts of clear ad land Vth
company purchased: tin farm from the
Vallison estate. In addition to this fif
ty acres the company will clear about
400 acres. Rapid progress is being
made in removing the trees and small
growth from the land. As soon as this
is accomplished ditches will be cut to
drain the soil and p'ows will be etartid
breaking and preparing Jie land for
seeding.
It is proposed by the manager to pro
vide a 45 horse power gasolire tract! n
engine with which to break this lsnd,
as fie work can be done much cheaper
by gasoline than by horaes.
This engine will also be utilized in
removing the eturopi and trees from
the land, as well as for the many other
uses to which a gasoline engine can be
put. The remainder of the tract will
for the present be left as a pasture for
bogs, sheep, catt'e and goata.
The buildirgs on this property were
in a dilapidated condition, but the new
management has already repaired the
mam dwelling, which is of Colonial
architecture, and will preserve the old
style, which1 is very appropriate for.
the site, being on a high hill overlook
ing Slocum Creek and surrounded by
large elms of several hundsed sum
mers.
This farm is admirably located, hav
ing over three miles of water front on
Slocum creek and being about one
mile from Neuse river op the creek.
General rotation of crops will be fol
lowed and much truck will be planted.
Many varieties of berries will be ex
perimented with and these found suited
to the soil will be grown extensively.
In s very short time, Manager Tull

Farmers' Union Education
al Secretary Discusses
Rural Problems.
NEW DAY HAS DAWNED
Discusses Proposed cen
tral Warehouse, But Un
ion Defers Final Action.
Before the Craven Cointy Farmers'
Union yesterday at the court noure.
Prof. W. C. Crosby, secretary oT the
Udueational Committee of the State
Farmers' Union, wade an address in
which ha nr.ed the dvnuges of ed
ucation, organisation and co-op-ration
and dl-cosred the propts:t!(fi to locate
a central farmers' war. h ue eitl er
here or at Wilmingtcn.
Rnrl nrosoerrv rests cn tnrce
things. faidMr. Croaby, co operat on,
education, - and Organization and the
greatest of these Is education. He
said the FarmT' Union was s eking
to bring about a country l fe revival
aod that to ihit end ill re had to te
more educatioa f r the yung ar d more
co-oparation and more ci ionization for
the matured citizenship.
North Carolina farmers were too
conservative, he said, too roucn qis-
prsed to rest on tfce laurels earned by
their fa! hers in the war. There was
only onepersfn mere patient than the
North Carolina farmer and that was
the North Carolina farmer's wife, who
had to put up with all the things that
he puts up with and him to btot.
Changing an old auage, he taid we
are not the firnt by whom the r.ew is
tried, but we are the last to lay tbeoli
aside " A naw day has dawned, ne
aiid; snd its light seemed all the more
daiziins to rural North Carolina be
cause the darkness here had been so
dense.
He discussed the drift of population
from the country to the city as a prob
lem which demanded very serious con
sideration. "We are not any longer
sacrificing our boys to war, but we are
sacrificing our best new blood to that
indefinable something which we eall
culture. The curriculum in our public
schools prepares us fi r college ar-d not
for life."
The remedy for the cityward drift
Prof. Crosby said wa to make country
life al profitable and livable as city
life. Brains go where there is financial
reward and it was one of the ain.s of
the Farmcr'a Union to -make country!
l fecffertbe icducemenis that are of
fered In the city. "We- don't want
those that' are already in the city to'
come ack,r we want them to stay
there for we have got to have a market
for what we have to sell, but we want
to see mote of tbe best blcod aod best
brain staying on th farm."
The great trouble wi'h the efforts of
tbe farmer in the direction of co-opera
tion was,, he taid, the failure or the
farmers to patronize their own enter
prises.
Discussing the nerd of organization
Lhe declared tbat every class had organ
ized and that farmers had, to organize if
for no ott er reason because all the other
classes bad organized.
He urged the seed for the farmer to
take steps to advance ipia calling.
Who will deny that the farmer is
looked upon as the very tsil end of
creation! We look upon farming not
as a profession bnt as a condition. No
wonder we are pilfered by the fertilizer
trust and doped by the politician," ,
Paisiug to the proposed central ware
house, be said that it was the plan to
bave a building to cost something like
twenty thousand dollars and tbat tne
practice was for the farmers to take
about 76 per cent, of tbe stock and let
business men of the community, if
they so desired, take the remainder.
Wilmington, be said, was competing
for the warehouse. . u; -vVi
Mr. C. E For was called on to make
some remarks! s to the advantages: of
toff-Sera as the place for. the-y re
hbute.' As compared wl a Wilmington
he said that New Bern was mncbVbefc.
