FARM BOOKS.

Principles of Agriculture. By Prof.
L. II. Bailey, of Cornell University.
Handsomely illustrated. 800 pages.
Price, $1.25.
We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest 1926 to better ad-
vantage than by sending that
amount to us for a copy of Prof. L.
n. Bailey's principles of Agricul-
ture." This is a work which tells
the why's and wherefores"-the
principles-Of the business" of
farming. It is written by a man of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There are many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has one been issued
which the average reader of this
paper so badly needs. The work is
handsomely bound, we'll illustrated,
clearly printed and contains 800
pages. Send US 81. % and get copy,
We guarantee satisfaction.
A SPECIAL PRICE.
We have now decided to send a
copy of this valuable work and a
years subscription to The Progress
i've Farmer to any address for only
81. This offer is made at a sacrifice
in the hope of placing the work in
the hands of more of the thousands
who need it.

START NOW.

There is no better time to begin
with purebred poultry than during
the late summer and fall. The breed
ing season is past and the old stock
will be disposed of at low prices.
Often the choicest specimens are
sold at nominal prices in order to
make room for the young stock.
Old male birds can now be pur-
chased for perhaps 81 each and
females for $1-either of which
would cost three or four times the
price at any other time.

FAMOUs GRAPES OF THE SOUTH.

North Carolina a boast the larg-
est grape vine in the world. It is
on the farm of B. F. Meekins, Roam
oke Island, not far from the site of
Fort Raleigh and near the birthplace
of Virginia Dare. Tt is claimed that
the vine was planted by Sir Walter
Raleigh's Inflated colony in 1882. 1t
is the Scuppernong variety, covers
an acre of ground and yields about
a ton of grapes annually.
The Scuppernong, Catawba and
Isabella vines all had their origin in
North Carolina. The first derives it's
name from a creek of that name at
the entrance of Albemarle sound.
The banks of the Catawba river are
the native home of the grape of that
name and it still grows wild in the
State. The Isabella is supposed to
be a hybrid of the Burgundy, intro
duced by the Huguenots, and the
native fox grape of the Carolinas. 1t
is probably more generally Guilt
waited for table use than any other
on the continent, although the Con-
cord mus be a close second.-A. D.

A CHAMPION HAWK KILLER.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
In a recent issue of The Progress
i've Farmer l read an account of two
noted hawk killers. In Mr.. RI. 81.
Draughon, of Mingo, Sampson coun-
ty can boast of the champion hawk
killer of North Carolina-and doubt
less of the world. With a caller
which he invented, he called up and,
killed 5 hawks in 10 minutes, II
hawks in one day, and rs hawks in 5
days. He can furnish testimonials
of the same from reliable men. Dur
ing the last few years, he says he
has killed between $500 and 1900
hawks, a statement which no one
that is acquainted with Mr.. Draughon
doubts. 1 enclose a photo of Mr.. II.
II. Draughon with z hawks, 1 crow,
and 1 turkey gobbler, called up and
killed during a four hours hunt.

Experience shows that bottom heat
stimulates root growth, and heat
from above, top growth. Onions
and radishes grown in a hot bed
were all that could be desired, while
lettuce made a weak and slender
growth. OF the same vegetables
grown in cold frame, the former two
made only sufficient root growth to
sustain life, and the latter was fine.
The result was also good with lettuce
grown on the floor of the green house.

THE VALUE OF AN AGRICULTURAL EDU-
CATION.

At present there seems to be an
opportunity offered by the Depart
ment of Agriculture for quite a num-
Der of young men who. have a thor
ough technical knowledge of agricul-
ture. This is what young men can
get in a good agricultural college.
OF course these are positions such as
a great many desire but the salaries
offered, $1,000 TO $1,000 a year, are
much less than it is possible for a
man of thorough agricultural knowl-
edge, industry and energy to make
on a farm. Many men get rich
farming who start with nothing
and have only a knowledge of the
general principles of farming in an
imperfect way, But they are men
with executive talent, who profit by
observation and experience and who
put a great deal of "business" into
their farming. If such men could
p14 y OOO "4OA q SOOO SLh4O III DOCI-
nical information, they would sue
coed far better. We expect to hear
from the graduates of these schools
in a few years and believe that they
will do much for the general farm
ing interests of the country.-Jour-
nal of Agriculture.
How many young men n there
who have graduated from what are
called our best colleges, which have
been richly endowed by the amounts
that have been beQueathed to them
by rich men or given them by multi
millionaires, who find as soon as
they go out that positions at 500 to
$3.50 a month are waiting for their
acceptance, just because they are
supposed to have learned something
that makes their services worth that
amount to some one else? A few
may find such places ready for them
by the favDr of some relative or
friend, but to thousands who have
spent years in studying theology,
law or medicine such positions an
such salaries will only come after
years of waiting if they reach them
at all. But the young man who
graduates from an agricultural col
lege as an expert in almOsJ any of
the many branches Of What known
as scientific agriculture, whether as
chemist, stock breeder, butter or
cheese maker, or general farm man
ager, will hud some one waiting tor
him, anu the positions are seeking
the man to day as they have for
years past and will for years to come.
