The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-04-22

Within the last five or six weeks
we have seen the beginning Of
q new movement in North Carolina
educational matters-the %consolida
ton of rural schools. The money
hitherto given TO two or three dis
tricts is to be concentrated on n
centrally located, thus providing
longer terms, better equipped teach
ers, better houses. The movement
deserves attention. We predict for
it wonderfully rapid growth.
And in this connection we are re-
minded that we have not yet printed
the last public u~tterance of the
lamented General T. F. Toon-a
statement worthy of special atten-
ton Just now. It was a letter of
welcome to the Educational Confer
once held in Raleigh in February,
and in it General Toon said:
"While there is evident improve
ment in the schools all over the State
in every particular, we recognize

EARLY LAMBS FOR NORTHERN MAR
KETs.

The letters that we are receiving
from farmers in different parts of
the State and the news items in our
local papers indicate increased inter
est in stock raising, notably in sheep
and dairy matters.
This week, for instance, we have
a ~forceful letter by Mr.. A. D. Mo
Nair on the raising of shot house"
lambs for the Northern markets, one
of the most profitable branches of
the live stock industry. Our read
ers will doubtless remember that
this question was discussed at some
length by Mr.. Samuel Archer in his
admirable series of articles on
"Sheep in the South" recently pub
lished in THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
The advantages possessed by our
section in this particular are obvious.
The very same conditions that enable
Us to monopolize the early fruits and
vegetable markets of the North
would, if we would but seize them,
bring to our people practically all
tie money now paid out for these
early lambs. And that there is in
the prices paid a very fair margin of
profit is clearly shown by Mr.. Nc.
Nair.
We hope that some of our sheep
raisers will give this matter a thor
ough test. To neglect longer the
opportunity would be hardly less
foolish than would be the abandon
ment of the trucking industry in
which our olimase and other natural
advantages have given us the
mastery
