Gen. Johnston was born Feb. 3rd !,
1909, graduate d at West Point with
Robert Z. Lee, served with distin-
tirguished valor in the Mexican war
and was quarter-master general of
the United States Army when the
civil war broke out. His distinguish

known to every school boy. He and
Sherman faced each other during the
last struggle of the mighty conflict.
No greater military genius was dis
played during the war than his slow,
masterly and stragetic retreat before
Sherman from Vicksburg to the Sea,
and then upinto North Carolina with
the last stand made at Bentonsvi.le
in Johnston county. Johnston sur

from the product thereof an exhibit
from this state for the Worlds EXPOSE

be necessary to select the wheat exhib.
1t from tho seeding OF 1891. The chief

should be carefully kept: /, date oil
planting. 2, character of soil; 3,
amount Of seed sown to acre; 4, rain
and snow fall for each month; 8, date
of harvesting; o. yield; Z, quantity
and quality fertilizer used. And any
other Information that will aid In the
proper and Intelligent study of the

all result IN benefit to the farming in
terests OF our State that they will be
carefully compiled with. Information
as to the duality of wheat needed for
