Nothing is so good as well-rotted
barnyard manure for the garden, and
nothing is better than the manure
pit to get mi into shape for gar
den use-fnely rotted and free from
weed seeds. We do not, as a rule,
pay nearly enough attention to the
garden. 1t should be one of the i'm
portant features of the farm, and
considerable attention given to it
will be we'll repaid. It will easily
supply the table beautifully for six
months of the year, and go a long
way toward a supply for the other
six months. Some of the practices
of the old-fashioned gentlemen farm
ers of Northern New York State
could be well copied, if I can believe
what my father tells me. They kept
their tables supplied with a great
variety of fresh vegetables during
the season, and stored away large
quantities of roots and tubers for
the winter. Housewives dried guam
titles of lima beans, picked and
shelled green, not allowed to ripen
and tougher in the pod, and large
bags of dried sweet. corn which they
boil and get from the cob exactly as
though for immediate consumption.
Okra, too, can be dried and kept
indefinitely, and will be practically
good for soups as fresh vegetables.
But they had rich ground and the
garden received every year a splendid
dressing of well-rotted n and
so produced large yields.-Guy E.

This is a plain, fair statement of
the money value of a training in ag-
riculture.
Look at it in any way you like, it
is a money investment to get an
education. Everywhere there is a
call for trained workers. The call
comes from every part of the coun-
try and cannot be met.
Every boy of North Carolina who
has answered the call has come for

the wealth and the prosperity of our
glorious Commonwealth in the future
in a way most magnificent.

North Carolina Farming Notes.

Newborn Journal: 1t is said that
labor is exceedingly scare on the
farms, and what is secured is verv
unreliable.
Newton Enterprise: Many farmers
are afraid that they have missed il
again this year in sowing wheat.
Some say the fly is doing more dam
age than ever before.
Kinston Free Press: It is said that
the sweet potato crop is unusually
fine this year in this section. The
largest yield of the largest potatoes
is raised this year that ever has been
raised to the acreage.
Scotland Neck Commonwealth:
Nh. @. T. Lawrence Monday showed
a large collection of potatoes in his
buggy. Picking up three at random,
they weighed 1914 pounds, the largest
weighing six pounds and three
ounces and measuring 1917 by "A
inches.
Durham Herald: One farmer from
Wake County sold two one-horse
loads of tobacco Wednesday, for
which he received more than six ham
dred dollars. Another farmer from
the same county sold two one-horse
loads and received in payment a
check for over 1926. This man told
a reporter that he brought only his
common tobacco, and that his entire
crop would bring him some $1,000
or $1,4OO.
Wadesboro Messenger-Intelligen-
GER: An unusually large acreage is
being sowed in small grain in this
section this year. Early-sowed grain
is up and looking well.-A more
favorable fall for all kinds of farm
work was probably never known in
this section, and as consequence the
crops have about all been gathered
and housed. Usually at this time Of
the year it is not uncommon to see
many fields white with cotton, but
now you may travel from one end
of the county to the other and scarce
ly see a field in which there remains
much of the staple to be picked.
Corn, too, has been gathered in good
condition, and the farmers are now
devoting their energies to sowing
small grain, of which an unusually
large acreage is being seeded. AS
to the size of the crops, in our opin-
ion an average crop of cotton has
been made and gathered, and we be-
lieve at least 20 per cent of it has
been sold. The corn crop is the
largest that has been grown in the
county in a number of years. In
deed, there has been enough made to
meet the requirements of the county,
and next year will be one year in
which the corn-cribs of our people
will not be In the West.

THE MONEY VALUE OF AN AGRI-
CULTURAL EDUCATION.
DR.. Burkett Presents Facts and Figures
Which Prove 1t a Paying Investment.

u minds in a clear, practical way,
let us take a common-sense view of
the situation as we would a simple
problem in the fundamental pro-
cesses of arithmetic.
Suppose a young man is Is years
old and is ready to enter the agri-
cultural college. Shall he go or not?
That is the question. viii it pay to
go? Suppose you don't go; how
much on the average can you earn
per day? Let us say you work three
hundred days per year at seventy
five cents per day. The yearly earn
ings will be two hundred and twenty
five dollars. Suppose you work thus
until you are ~sixty-eight years old, or
fifty years, your earnings will aggre-
gate eleven thousand two hundred
and fifty dollars.
Now, instead of doing this, sup
pose you spend four years in the ag-
ricultural college. At an average
expense of enc hundred and fifty
dollars the four years will cost you
six hundred dollars. You are now
twenty-five years of age and you
ought to command at a modest figure
seven hundred and fifty dollars per
year until you are sixty-eight years
of age. For forty-six years your
earnings will be, less the six hun
dred for your education, thirty-three
thousand and nine hundred dollars.
Now, if you subtract the eleven thou
sand two hundred and fifty dollars
from the thirty-three thousand and
nine hundred dollars, you will have a
difference of twenty-five thousand
six hundred and fifty dollars. This
represents The money value of a col
lege education in agriculture, saying
nothing of further possibilities.
But you are in school two hundred
days for four years, eight hundred
days. Now, if you divide this into
twenty-five thousand six hundred and
fifty dollars, you will find that you
earn every day you are in school over
twenty-eight dollars.
THE MONEY VALUE OF THE WINTER
COURSES
In the same way let us see if the
winter courses of ten weeks pay. At
seventy-fve cents per day, and sixty
days, the working days of the period
of the winter course, one would earn
forty-fve dollars. We know by act
ual experience from our own classes
that the winter-course student, if he
desires a salary position, can secure
from thirty to forty dollars per
month, with board, OF a none value
or forty to fifty dollars for his SER
vices per month. He works one year
at forty dollars per month and makes
four hundred and eighty dollars. Be
fore attending the winter courses he
worked three hundred days at seven
ty-ive cents and earned two hundred
and twenty-five dollars. The differ

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR WEST
ERN CAROLINA.

The Waynesville Courier Discusses tn
Importance of Apple Growing in Hay
wood and Other Western Counties.
Haywood County does not begin
to know her possibilities even in ap
pies, to say nothing of general fruit
growing. But the apple is the frui'
any way in Western North Carolina
considered from the commercial
standpoint. While other fruits car
be grown and very successfully, the
apple probably surpasses any Other
fruit in development and yield.
IF our farmers would devote the
same time to apple culture IS they
do to corn or wheat culture, they
would make at least $500 where they
make 800.
There are already a few expert
apple-growers in Haywood County.
and through these attention is being
drawn to Haywood County-the at
tention both of apple-growers and
apple-buyers. MI. Farrior's and Mr.
Halls premium apples at the Ra-
leigh State Fair attracted apple
buyers at the North, many kilograms
having been received Immediately
after those premiums were awarded,
asking about Haywood apples in
quantities.
Mr.. Boggs this week is shipping
out a carload of fine Haywood apples
bound for the English market, where
he will receive a fancy price for
them. Some of his finest are the
Newton or Albemarle Pippin, which
variety has been known to sell as
high as 500 a barrel in England.
Haywood apples have won the pre-
MUM at the Paris Exposition, the
Columbian Exposition, at New York
fairs, and at other fairs, besides at
our own State Fairs.
This only goes to show the wonder
full possibilities there are in fruit
growing, apple-growing, in Haywood
County, if our farmers will turn
their attention to it. There are for
tunes in it. If care and pains are
taken from the time the tree is set
out until it begins to bear, and then
if special attention is given to the
and packing of the apples
after they mature, there is sure to
be handsome returns for the trouble.
A special rate has been secured
from railroad authorities of 30 cents
per 100 pounds from Waynesville to
New York City. This is due to the
efforts of some of the expert growers
here in Haywood County.
Another thing every shipper should
do, if he wants to build up a per-
manent business and get the prices
and that is to see to it that
every barrel contains exactly the kind
of apples and the quality of apples
that the label and bill calls for. If
the grower and shipper would take
pride in this matter of careful pack

A Rare Opportunity.

To purchase Herefords and Short
Horns of choice breeding and rare merit
will be afforded all stockmen and far
mers who visit the Minnesota State Fair
at Hamline, Sept. l to 6, 1902. One
hundred Herefords will be sold at auction
Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon Sept.
2 and 3, under the management of the
American Hereford Breeders Association,
and so Short Horns Thursday afternoon,
Sept. 4 under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Short Horn Breeders Association.
These cattle have been carefully selected
from the herds of prominent and honor
able breeders and while some of them are
of such outstanding merit as to command
strong prices many will sell at prices
that any stockman can afford to pay. 1t
pays better to raise good cattle than
poor ones, and it certainly is more pro-
fitable to raise good stock and thus con-
tinually improve the fertility or your
land rather than to grow grain alone and
thus impovish it. The "ad'' of this sale

County Rivalry.

No less than twenty counties are ex-

become centers of interest for the farm

agricultural associations and each county
takes great deal Of pride in securing
grains, grasses and vegetables of high
order, and in arranging them in an at
tractive manner.
This year the fair offers the same pre-
MUM as last year-$1 200, to be divided
pro-rata among the county exhibits
scoring 70 points or more and in addi-
ton makes this offer:
For the exhibit scoring the highest in
this class an additional 5000 will be
paid; for the exhibit scoring second
highest, $3.50; for the exhibit scoring
third highest, 800; for the exhibl,
scoring fourth highest, $75; for the ex.
hibit scoring fifth highest, $50; for the
exhibit scoring sixth highest, $685..

Pleasure and Profit at the State Fair.


The Minnesota State Fair is II great
educational institution. The visitor who
really sees it and does not add largely to
his store of knowledge thereby is not
quick of comprehension, and he and not
the school is at fault. The fair is great
school, and like other good schools 1t
has it's hours of recreation, its lapses
from labor to rest, from study to amuse-
ment. The latter is supplieD in ample
quantity and of harmless quality. And
it is wisely provided that much of it can
be enjoyed evenings, so that those who
desire to work all day may be amused
at night, and so be made to forget the
days fatigue in the interest and excite
ment of few hours of lest in the great
grandstand. The attractions here cannot
be specified IN this connection, but that
they will be satisfactory to all and Of
tensive to none is guaranteed. The fair
opens Sept. 1st and half-fare rates are
made on all railroads.
