A Word to Farmers.

Plant fewer acres, manure highly
and cultivate well-and raise your
own supplies at home. That i. the
secret of successful farming whether
you depend upon tobacco, cotton
grains or grasses as a money crop.
And under present conditions of
scarcity and unreliability Of labor it
is all the more necessary to adopt the
intensive system of farming. Com
mercial fertilizers are all right but
do not depend upon them entirely.
Use plenty OF barnyard manure, COM
post, swan p muck, ditchbank rakings,
woodsmould and the like-something
to give body and permanency to the
fertility of the soil. And then green
manure the land in addition. Sow
clover. peas, rye, etc, and turn the
growth under in it's green state
This method intelligently pursued
for few years would work a wonder
full transformation in many poor
and almost protitless old field.

SPLENDID WORK OF THE INSURANCE
DEPARTMENT.
Big Increase in Collections Over Last
Year by Commissioner Young.
Raleigh Post

Raleigh Post
The wisdom of the Legislature in
establishing the North Carolina In
surancc Department as part of the
State government has been amply
proven in the administration of the
office by Hon. James r. Young.
Mr.. Young yesterday paid into the
State Treasury the handsome sum of
$2S, SS7.75, the amount collected for
licenses, taxes and fees during the
month OF February. Added to the
amount already paid in during the
current fiscal year, this makes The
nice sum of 1928, 232, which is exactly
1872, l69.0S moro than was collected
during the whole of the last fiscal
year, and there is yet nearly month
OF the present fiscal year to run. The
year ends April l.
From this it is safe TO say that this
years recsi pts of the Insurance De-
partment will exceed by about $40, 900
the receipts Of last year.
Before the establish msnt of the In
surance Department, when the bust
ness was handled by the Secretary of
State, the receipts averaged about
$50, 900 yearly. The first year Of Mr..
1oung's administration brought the
receipts up to about 100000. The
next year there was q slight increase
over the first. Notwithstanding the
withdrawal from tho State of some of
the best and strongest companies,
under the Craig law.
The expenses of the Department,
including salaries of the commits
sioner and his clerks, are more than
paid by the class of fees that former
ly went into the pocket of the Secre-
tary Of State.
And that is not all. 1t is not tell
ing the whole story to show the
amount actually paid into the State
Treasury by the Department and the
comparatively small expense incurred
in it's administration. Benefits almost
incalculable are accruing from the
vigilance of the commissioner in the
matter of the investigation of fires
and the enforcement of the laws re-
lating thereto. Then. in addition to
that, everything in the shape CT an
insurance concern, whether mutual,
assessment, fraternal order, indus
trial or other forms, are brought di-
rectly under the supervision of the
Department.
The law is not a dead letter in the
hands of Mr.. Young. Using the means
given him, he has made the State an
| uncomfortable berth for "under-
ground" and ..wildcat" concerns, and
as fast as they have been discovered
all such have been driven out of the
State. One persistent agent Of a
fraudulent company is now serving
a two years term on the Wake county
roads. The people Of the State are
protected, as every company must
pass a strict examination before it
can secure license to sell insurance
here.
The Insurance Department has sue
ceeded beyond the most sanguine ex-
pectations of those who were the
prime movers in its establishment.

THE MEMORABLE VISIT OF PRINCE
HENRY.
Baltimore Sun, 18th.

! Baltimore Sun, Ilth
/ Prince Henry, of Prussia, will sail
for his native land today. For = little
more than two weeks be has been the
/ guest of the American people. 1t is
not probable that he will ever forget
the hospitality which has been Law
ished upon him. Uncle Sam laid him.
self out to give the kaiser's brother a
great time, and there is no question
that as host he PRAYED brilliant
success. The only criticism to which
tho Princes entertainers have exposed
themselves is that they made the
pace \ little too fast even for so
vigorous 3 guest as Emperor Will
liam's brother. The Prince has been
rushed through the country on q
special train; he has been banqueted
at every opportunity; he has attended
festive gatherings of citizens of
American and Teutonic descent; he
has dined and lunched with members
Of the Four Hundred. Altogether he
has had many happy and interesting
experiences. Still, he ought to well
come the opportunity, which will
soon present itself, to take the "rest
cure" and repair his robust constitu-
ton. There is no royal immunity
from fatigue. Even this hardy repre-
| sentative of the House Of Hohenzol-
lern cannot stand the American pace
indefinitely.
There is no doubt that the Prince
will give Emperor William a good &C.
count OF the American people. He
has apparently appreciated and en-
joyed US; unquestionably We have en-
| ioyed the Kaiser's brother. He has
| impressed US as an uncommonly
"good fellow man of high intelli-
| gencs and Of democratic instincts
a genial, likable gentleman. who is a
credit to the royal Hohsnzollern fam
lily. When the Prince gets back home
he will be able to tell the Kaiser that
Americans are quite at homo with
royalty; that they are neither awed,
on the one hand. when they stand in
the presence Of men of imperial birth,
nor, on the other, are they truculent
and overbsaring. We are all sover-
eigns on this side OF the Atlantic. but
Prince Henry can bear testimony to
the fact that we did not obtrude our
sovereignty upon him in an offensive
manner. On the contrary, we met
him on equal ground, gave him the
glad hand of welcome. did our best to
make him forget that a prince does
| not take rank with a full-blown
American sovereign. IfPrince Henry
| did not feel on terms Of absolute
equality with us, it was not the fault
of the American people. For the
time being we magnanimously leveled
all distinctions and admitted the
Prince into full fellowship with Amer
| lean sovereigns.
1t has been intimated that the
| Prince came to the United States on a
political mission. If that be the fact,
he has had precious little time to dis
| charge his mission. We have literally
kept him on the move ever since he
| landed on American soil. II his mis-
sion was simply to promote good feel
ing between the citizens of this Re-
public and people of his native land,
he has achieved conspicuous success.
That alone was worth a visit to the
| United States. The American people
wish him a safe and pleasant voyage
| to the Fatherland. They will be glad
to .'set 'em up again whenever he is
| ready.

CHAMPION SPOILERS.
A Contest Between the North Carolina
Champion and the Missouri Peda-
go2ue Suggested.

.Spellers are born, not made" was
favorite saying Of an old fashioned
school teacher in North Carolina who
flourished twenty-five years ago. He
could spell every word in the diction-
airy and he said it had never hc~n
any trouble for him to learn to
spell.
The Western papers have had much
to say of late about Prof. d. Jones, of
Lancaster. Mo-, who has outspelled
every man, woman or child in the
West and has humbled a professor in
4 Kansas University. Confident that
he can outspell any body in the world,
Prof. Jones has issued challenge "to
| any person on earth to meet him in
spelling match, upon these condi-
tions:
Contest to last four hours, words to
be English, pronounced by disinterested
person, words to be reduced to writing,
both contestants spelling the same words,
the one missing the largest number of
| words to present the other with a Web
ster unabridged dictionary"
The Dunsmuir California; News
takes up the Kansas mans challenge
and says that Mr.. John Allen, Of
Franklin county, North Carolina, who
is no professor but \ farmer, can
beat the Missourian. 1t adds:
"Mr. Allen can derive, spell and define
! every word in Webster's dictionary. He
can do better; he can tell you: on what
page and column; and will GO SO far as
| to tell you about what position the word
| occupies in such column. If the Lancaster
pedagogue desires contest there is no
reason why he can't get it. This paper
has money to back its assertion"
The Louisburg Times backs up the
News and agrees to raise two dollars
to the Lancaster pedagogue's one
"that John Allen can give him two
| and the deal and sit him down with
in an hours time" The Henderson
GOLD LEAF takes hand and says:
"Nor would the GOLD LEAF object to
being let into the game on soft snap
like that. Knowing J ohm Allen as it does
it would back him against all corners as
being able to carry off the honors in a
spelling match anywhere at any time
Why not invite the Lancaster peda-
gogue to come to Raleigh and meet
John Allen, the champion speller of
North Carolina, in public match for
the championship for 1.-The best speller
on earth?" We nominate Thad X.
Manning and j. A. Thomas as COM
mittes to make the arrangements
NeUs and Observer
We accept the nomination and will
| cooperate with Brother Thomas in
bringing these gentlemen together,
if possible, in the contest suggested.
Our man is ready, willing and wait
ing, and it is up to the Missouri pro-
lessor to sign articles Of agreement
| and come to the scratch or forfeit the
title of the worlds champion speller
to John Allen, of North Carolina.

The Evils of Debt.

Young man, keep out of debt.
Avoid it. if possible. as you would a
psstilence. AS the Presbyterian aptly
says debt is a troublesome factor in
human life. 1t is easier to get into
it than it is to get out of it. Wisdom
says, avoid it; run not into it hastily
or suddenly; or if it has been incurred
pay it off as soon as possible and
keep out Of it. Every man thinks he
is best Judge of his circumstances
and does not take kindly to advice
from outsiders, but the wisest of us
would do we'll to heed the voice OF
experience. Thousands have suffered
because they thought themselves
wiser than others. Ruined reputa-
tions and business follow Needless
ness about going into debt. Numbers
contract habit Of borrowing, and
with the multiplication of their wants
larger and larger sums are obtained
until complete disaster overtakes
them; or if some of them manage to
keep things atloat during their life
time by various eNpedients. they
leave bankrupt estates behind them
and financial ruin to the dependents.
Debt is one OF the trying evils of the
day. Churches and homes suffer from
it as we'll as society and business.
