evening to appoint new one, whose
members are j. r. Nell, Michael Reilly

done must be gone over again, as it is

College Men In Business.

AS a rule, great corporations seek
college men, because, other things
equal, they will ultimately make better
heads, better leaders; and this, not
withstanding the fact Of the general
impression that college men are not
practical. The heads Of such institu-
tions know very well that, If man is
made Of the right kind Of material, a
college education, although it may tenn
porarily prevent the development OF
the practical faculties, enables man
to analyze well and to grasp condi-
tions very quickly. The greatest draw
back to the young graduate is that he
is too full Of theories, too near his
diploma to be OF very great value; /;
but, after the dream Of his future
greatness has faded little, and he
settles down to business, he will adapt
himself very speedily; and, when he
once masters the details of business
he will make rapid strides toward the
top. He has learned in college how
to think, how to marshal his mental
forces; and, when he has learned the
different phases of his business and
how to apply his knowledge, he will
be stronger man than he would have
been, without the higher education

VALUABLE WALNUT TREES.
One Cut In North CaroIina Said to. Hav.
Brought SEC, 900.

One Cut In North Carolina Said to. Have
Brought 100000.
There is more wealth in our forests
than in gold mines, If the timber is
properly cared for. One walnut tree,
cut in Haywood County last week,
brought $1,000. The people who live
in such Q. country are rich If they only
know It. This recalls an Interview
with Mr.. S. &. Rogers, corporation
commissioner, which recently ap-
peared in the High Point (N. C.) Enter
prise. We quote:
Railroad Commissioner Rogers, who
was here Saturday, was talking about
the value of North Carolina timber.
He said that he had only one story to
relate, and that was big one. A man
in Western North Carolina was selling
standing timber-walnut trees. The
man who was buying came to one
very handsome tree. He told the
owner he would pay as much as $50
for that tree. This excited the owner.
He did not sell, but sent for experts.
The owner got $1,000 for the tree
(curled walnuD as it stood. The man
who cut it down realized $4,000 for it
on the cars. 1t was shipped to New
York and veneered one-sixth to one
half an inch. The sales were watched
and estimated as the best that could
be done, and when all was disposed
OF it turned out that the tree brought
near 100000. The point is this: We
hlve no idea as to the value of our
timber, much of which is being sent
North for mere song. We can be-
come rich in North Carolina if we
it for us."-Raleigh News and Obser-
vcr.

Improving the Poor Fields.

- =
Every season attempts should be
made to improve some portions of the
farm so that the soil, will show the
highest standard Of productivity.
There are crops which must be raised
on every farm which leave the soil
much poorer in fertility when they
are harvested. Systems of rotation
may tend to cOunteract this evil, AMI
keep the general average of the fer
tility good, but in spite of this there
will be a gradual decline unless spe-
eial efforts are directed toward the
improvement of the soil. This can
best be done by selecting certain fields
or field each year, and making point
to raise the standard Of the fertility
of that section. By thus changing OF
one goes over the whole farm in the
course of a few years and makes the
soil all of a high standard.
Now a rotation of crops in which
clover comes for it's share may not
necessarily keep the soil in high state
of efficiency. This can be seen in soils
that have become clover sick and show
every sign of degeneracy, simply be-
cause the soil is ciogged with undi-
gested plant or green manure. Now
it is impossible for the soil to improve
when such condition prevails. The
soil is fed to Oyerfowing, but it re-
quires something that will help it to-
digest what it contains.
To do this the land needs regular
treatment once in a few years, much
as a physician would treat patient
He examines sick mans pulse, looks
at his tongue, studies his complexion
and tries to find some organ out OF
order. Then he applies the remedy
accordingly. Once every few years
we can examine a section Cf the farm
in the same way. What is the matter
with the soil? Had it been fed plant
food in the shape Of green manure too
steadily and continuously? Then It
NAV require the phosphates, lime and
other mineral elements to counteract
this condition. It may be it has been
stimulated too continuously with miIt-
eral 1ertlllZefS, ana II is III AcSu - -
green food. Again it may be sour,
and requires rectifying with lime OF
salt. There are a dozen and one con-
ditions that the sod may be in which
can be remedied on.y by a careIui
study. The farmer with q fair intehi-
gence of farming can do this. 1T does
not require expert KNOWLEDGE, nor
technical skill, but simple, ordinary
common sense, and then the disposl-
ton to remedy the trouble. q mes s

Flock forth to shout and play.

Not foa therc the shadowed woodland,
Nor theirs the bayfield, brown.

On many summer shore
Yet for them the days bring only

And a rush of little feet,
