spraying of fruit and trees for fungous
diseases. II has been believed that in
the case of most of these pests the
spores lived over on the twigs of the
trees. 1t was advised to spray before
the blossoms were open. for the pur-
pose of killing these colonies of spores.

TOBACCO CULTURE.
In North Carolina, Home of
the Bright Yellow Weed
Increase in Acreage.

The easy adaptability of the soil of
North Carolina elsewhere commented
upon, and the increase or decrease in the
production of different crops to fit the
varying conditions of the market, is not
better illustrated than in the rapid and
enormous enlargement of the tobacco era
and product, as cotton, the other great
money producing crop of the State. has
been steadily declining in value. These
two great crops may be considered cor
relative to each other, that one being
predominant which for the time returns
the greater remuneration. The price of
cotton declining tobacco remaining firm,
cotton planting is curtailed tobacco acre
age increased. Should the increase in
prices occur. cotton would again in
crease and tobacco planting decline. This
rule cannot apply to all the cotton dis
trict nor to all the tobacco district but
large scope of territory is common to the
production of both crops, and it is this
common ground which gives the pre-
ponderance to the one or the other.
Nearly all the counties in the State
raise tobacco, in patches for home con-

PUSH AND ENTERPRISE
MARX THE CAREER OF THIS WELL KNOWN
ESTABLISHMENT CONDUCTED BY
W. S. Patrick. An Elegant inc Of Dry Goods,
Notions, Millinery, Clothing. Hats
and Shoes. Establish
ed 1889.

The story of the rise of this great es-
Establishment to the head of the mercan-
tile world of Sampson reads more like
a romance than a reality. In 1889 1T
was founded upon a small scale, hand
ling only millinery. The years passed
by and the business increased with such
wonderful rapidity that larger quarters
became necessary. Two years ago last
January the present handsome and COM
modious building was erected on what
is known as the Johnson corner, the
best location in the community. The
building is a substantial two-story brick,
with basement, 36x90 feet in dimen>
sions. The upper floor is used for Of
fees and storage purposes. The first
floor is handsomely appointed and is ele-
gantly stocked with a magnificent line
of dry goods, dress goods, notions, etc.
The house enjoys a large local trade,
supplemented by a large mail order
business throughout Sampson and adj
joining counties. well organized
mail order department is one of the chief
features of the business! This is by far
the largest store of the kind in Sampson
county. An elevator will be added in
the fall. Mr.. W. s. Patrick was born
in 1867 and reared in Clinton. He was
educated at the State University. On
returning home he embarked in business
and has made a success of which any
man may well be proud.
