THE ALTAR OF PARs1MONY.

DR.. Mcnamara, of England, bays
the English people Sacrifice upon
the altar of parsimony much of the
nations most sorely-needed resource
the brain power of the people -
The phrase is a good one, and we'll
worth repeating in the States in
which this journal oiroulates. We
talk about the undeve1oped power in
our waterfalls, but this is insignif-
can't when compared with it's unde-
veloPed brain power.
In the States south of the Ohio
and the Potomac and east of the
Mississippi there T about 5000, 600
families with an average of six mem
bers each. If the father and mother
and older children in all these fami-
lies had a good high-school education
with suoh scientific and industrial
training as modern ideas demand,
the average production of each
family would probably be not less
than 5000 a year more than it is now.
(This is a very low estimate. Re!
suits in other States and countries
indicate that it would be twice as
muoh.) Probably half this would
be consumed in better Iving-fOod,
clothing, houses, furniture, books,
musical instruments, etO. The net
addition to fha wealth of kheaa States
! would thus be $500, 600, 600 . YER

NATTER WE DO NOT PRINT.

We cannot print original poetry,
We cannot print formal obituary
notices or resolutions Of respect.
We cannot print articles Of a par
tisan or denominations nature.
The editor has found it necessary
TO write SO many personal letters set
ting forth the foregoing facts, that
we have decided to state them pub
holy. Nothing pleases Us more than
the steadily increasing number OF
excellent letters we are receiving
from our North Carolina readers,
and we should like TO see the number
of these correspondents double. And
the choice Of subjects is very wide,
and the number barred is very linn
tied.
But while we regret very much to
put into the waste basket any tribute
of respect to a departed friend, we
must remember that theobituary will
be read by only a few dozen of the
thousands of our readers; whatever
our feelings, we must substitute
matter of more general interest.
Nor has it been long since the
writer imagined that he could write
poetry. And we even found an
editor who printed some of our
rhythmical illusions. But now we
are very sorry that he did so. We
shall not be 80 unkind to any one
afflicted as we were.
Thoughtful, temperate articles on
political and religious SUBJECTS are
always welcome; we wish that
more such letters were sent us. But
articles attacking or defending any
denomination should be sent to
church organs, and articles attack
ing or defending any political party
should be printed in party organs
we have no room for them.

The Thinkers.
THREE SIGNIFICANT MEETINGS.

Perhaps many of our readers have
not thought of the Significance of
three meetings which have recently
been held in the capital of the State.
These gatherings were SO near to-
gether as to be almost simultaneous,
which adds to their Significance. The
meetings Preferred TO r the "Good
Roads Congress-" the Educational
Conference" and the can't Saloon
League" organization. Think for a
moment of the objects of each of
these gatherings and then combine
the results of what they may be able
to accomplish for the State if each
succeeds but in a degree in the work
undertaken the moderate education
of all the people 9 the infinite
uplifting of the Commonwealth the
banishment of the saloon 9 the
removal of the cause of nine. tenthR
of the crime and trouble that affict
our people the construction of good
highways throughout the State
would add immeAsurably to the
pleasure, comfort and profit of the
great mass of our citizens. It will
be noticed, too, that it was fitting
that these three gatherings should
be 80 nearly simultaneous for the
success of each is linked more or less
with the triumph of the others. One
gathering issued declaration against
ignorance, one against bad roads,
and the other against the saloons,
and it is noteworthy that the cream
of the States citizenship is enlisted
under one or all of these banners.
Can they, therefore, succeed? Do
these meetings not mean more than
many political oonven tionsP-Monroe

I'll MOTH CATCHER.

Nearly every year sees some new
scheme to fleece the farmers. Our
exposure of the "limbless coSton"
fake, for instance, brought that
fraud to an untimely death. The
fertilizer process farm rights are
still being sold, but the plan is evil
IDENTIFY on it's last legs. In the 'smoth
catcher" that is now being 80 ex-
tensively advertised, these ''limbless
cotton" and ''fertiliz9r process"
schemes have u fitting companion.
The moth catcher manufacturers
have not found many customers in
North Carolina yet, but it is not too
soon to warm our people against the
invention. Its originator has been
trying for some time to get his adj
vertisement in THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, and we have received a let
ter from one North Carolina farmer
who has been deluded into buying.

FOUR MONTHS SCHOOLS FOR EVERY
ti,vs EEstf COUNTY. s.

t., One Of the most praiseworthy acts
of the General Assembly of 1901 was
the appropriation Of 800, 900 for the
exclusi Q use of the weaker schools
of the State, the object being 60 dis.
tribute this fund so as so properly
supplement- the funds Of each dis
triot having less than four months
term, bringing all up TO this constitu-
tional requirement..
Is was feared by many that this
appropriation would not be available
and by others that the amount
named would be insufficient. IL lie
gratifying therefore TO learn that
arrangements are now being made
for the distribution of this fund, and
that it is expected that q small sur
plus will be left after provision is
made for giving every school in the
State the length of term guaranteed
by the Constitution.
This is indeed a gratifying oondi-
ton of aft airs-one of which the
whole State should be proud. We
have at last reached the point we
have been so long striving to reach.
But the battle is not yet won ; we
have only entrenohed ourselves firm
~ on the ground which we should
have held during the last twenty
years and more. There remaineth
much land to be possessed, and if we
understand the temper of our people,
no backward step will be taken.

A THOUGHT FOB THE WEEK.

The greatest man is he who chooses
the right with invincible resolution,
who rssists the sorest temptations
from within and without, who bears
the heaviest burdens oheerfully, who
il caImest in storms, most fearless
under menace and frowns, and whose
reliance on truth, on virtue, on God,
is most unfsltering.-Willism Ellery
Charming.

THIS WEEKS PAPER.

b, Harry Farmer directs attention TO
q fact worth remembering "It Ia
not often that q farm with a nice
garden Is. sold under q mortgage"
4: And there is good reason for this
,etate of affairs. The owner of the
mortgaged farm very often runs up
a long account at the village store
for supplies that would not be needed
If he gave proper attention TO his
garden. He hasn't learned that Ii is
lees expensive to neglect crops Of
cheap cotton or tobacco and make a
good crop of vegetables than TO give
slightly more attention TO the field
crops and buy the supplies that the
garden could furnish.
There seems TO be considerable
misrepresentation among farmers gen.
orally as TO the meaning of the term
'thller," a. used in speaking of fer
t~ilizers. In his article on the first
page, DR.. Kilgore makes clear the
correct and the incorrect uses Of the
term.
Our Pssquotank correspondent
sends us batch of interesting farm
notes from that county and Mr..
.Whitener presents a truly remark
able picture of the progress of wheat
culture in Burke.
We failed TO refer editorially last
week to the first of a notable series
of articles on "Beef Production in
the South" which our efficient State
Veterinarian, DIR. TAFT Butler, is
furnishing US. DIR. Butler, like DIR.
Burkett, has had some experience as
a newspaper man and not only knows
what TO say but how TO say it in
euoh a way as TO hold the attention
of the reader. Look up his last
weeks letter, if you have not al
ready read it; you cannot afford to
miss one of the series. ,
1t has been quite awhile since we
published anything from Entomolo-
gist Franklin Sherman, but this
week he gives some clear, compact
advice as TO spraying.
Two clippings regarding the Con-
nectiout experiments with tobacco
under cover, appear this week, and
another goes over for our next issue.
In this connection we direct atten-
ton especially TO an important
Washington dispatch on ''Sumatrs
Tobacco for North CAROLYN" The
idea may mean much TO our State.
Our second poem, Content
ment"-and a splendid bit of satire
it is-should also have been credited
80 Oliver Wendell Holmes.
No farmer should overlook Mrs,
Stevens Nature Study article on
page 5-a statement in plain Ian,
guage of some scientific facts regard,
ing the different kinds of soil. And
if it contains nothing new 80 the
farmer himself, let him turn it over
to his boy. The experiments sug.
gested would prove no less instruo
tive than interesting.
The deep interest in the AppalAch
ian Park scheme and the genera,
lack of definite information regard
ing it, make our 9Th page article OF
this subject one Of peculiar timeli
ness and Importance.

PRESIDENT PALMA's PROGRAMMES
CUBA.

NO man understands better 4.
Palma the exact position of q,
and the things requisite for chi
we'll being. He appreciates II
full worth the fact that it wa.
armed Intervention of the Uni
States which brought the strpo
for freedom to a successful termi
ton, and he also understand ,
values highly the aims and resp
of the brief period of American
cupation and provisional govs,
ment. He has lived 80 long in a
United States that he undersDt
the American spirit, and estins
rightly the value to Cuba of thecs
relations that are to be mainsiDs
in the future with this country +
seems to be absolutely free from b,
spirit of jealousy toward the Uas
States which some less thoughs
and less well-informed Cubans hy
frequently expressed of late. OaG
other hand, General Palma wus
the candidate of the United Gst
Government, as some people hsT
asserted. Our Government hdS
part in his selection as a calass
and did nothing to bring abut a
election ; nor has General Palma Il
any time said or done anything d
diminish the perfect independsnS
and dignity with which he enbaa
upon the presidency of the Cubu
Republic.
He is above all, however, a praCt
cal man, who detests sham, pretena
and empty form. He expects toll
a hard. working president, and vi
have as little as possible of fnss al
feathers. Since under thu Ps
Amendment the United STATED gud
antees the position of Cuba, Gener
Palma remarks that the new repuI
lilo will have no occasion for an arm
or a navy, and therefore no need
a secretary of war or a secretary
the navy in the cabinet. Nor do
he see the necessity of estbliShi
an elaborate diplomatic service; a.
at first he would have simply an g
.cient representative in the UIH
States, with consular agents at Ga
points as trade conditions mightG
solutely require. He believes th
the Cubans are naturally On q
derby and peace loving people, %
that they will settle down to aci
tented and stable existence If goo
economic conditions exist. Hio I'D
great object, therefore, will be t0s
cure favorable trade relations viz
the United States. With OurmsFEs
open to Cuban farm products ny
turn for reciprocal concessions, da
eral Palma believes that all will
well.-From GA New Republic
