Greenville Reflector: Up to the
time of closing for the holidays the
Greenville tobacco market had sold
this season 8,74O,84 pounds. The
price paid for this tobacco was just
a little less than a million dollars,
which is a large amount for me
crop to put in circulation.

birds, with right to- registration, or
pure blood, while there are many
that contain 800 to 500. One Of these
experts can tell you what you should
select for raising, what for early ma
turity, to give you spring broilers OF
size early enough to command the
fancy prices of the North soon in the
season, and what for large and meaty
fowls. Some are averse TO sitting,
although ready to prove great layers.
some Withstand hard knocks, while
others are so delicate as to need a
watohful eye and careful hand not
far away.
The calling has become a science,
with it's standards, it's defined l1m1ta-
lions and literature. It's details are
endless. Ask, for example, what
you may expect in an average pair or
Barred Plymouth Rocks, which Is a
fashionable bird for all purposes, and
he will answer shat the pure-bred
bird will require 10 months for ma
turity, and then will weigh 81
pounds, and the hen N pounds of
live weight-when dressed will
weigh ~ and ~ pounds, respect
lively, at three months and 6 and 5 at
10 months. If you keep the birds
for their eggs, they lay at s months,
will average lis eggs annually, 8 to
81 of which will weigh one pound.
He will even figure the cost of keep
ing, one year with another, at rs
cents each from Matching TO matur-
ity, and 90 cents annually. And so,
with other birds.
Let me congratulate the promoters
of this poultry show, that you are
thus advancing an important inter
est among the pursuits allied to agri,
culture. You are doing something
to add in it's final result to the re
ceipts of the farm, especially to those
who chiefly have the care and labor
of the poultry runs-the wives and
daughters of the farmstead. You
are n )uraging that which will add
to the pleasures and comforts of life.
And in so helping and encouraging
others, you are building for the
prosperity of your city, and the vel
fare of North Carolina. May the
success which you deserve crown
your efforts in this, and all succeed
ing years.

VALUABLE FARM BOOKS.

Principles of Agriculture. By Prof
L. n. Bailey, of Cornell University
Handsomely illustrated. 300 pages

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..
81. Bailey's "Principles of Agrioul-
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 q copy of this work
and studies 1t during his spare
mOmentsp6his summer will not on
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, q
broader view of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There r 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 300
pages. Send US 81. 25 and get a copy.
We guarantee satisfaction.

The improvised anchor held firmly

In Columbia, Walla Walla and UNA
tilla counties the barb wire telephone
is fast coming into popular favor.
Numerous systems have been installed
near Pendleton and in nearly every
case they have been found to work
excellently. But light expense has
attended installation. The farmer
simply buys phone and receiver,
puts in batteries stronger than or
dinary and splices his short phone
wire onto the end of strand on
the nearest barb wire fence. The first
barb wire phone to be installed in Co.
lumbia county was in the MILESTONE
hollow district, where a fairly success
full system was put in operation. Re-
Gently several farmers joined in estab-
fishing one near Dixie, in Walla Walla
county. The only other known barb
wire phone in Walla Walla county
runs from Wallula five miles up the
Washington & Columbia River rail-
road, where the big bridge of that COM
pany crosses the Walla Walla river.
Here the bridge watchman has a
phone running down a railroad fence
into Wallula, while ranchers in the
intervening district have hooked on.
In Umatills county barbed wire
phone runs from tho Offices of the Pu-
get Sound Warehouse company at
Athena west to their warehouse at
Waterman. A system was also put in
operation on Dry creek, near Weston,
while one is said to be running on
Mckay creek. north of Pendleton.

Question Still Unsettled.

The pretty young woman with the
fur-trimmed jacket, leaving the train
as it rolled into the Dearborn station,
walked briskly toward the exit.
She was met by tall, good looking
young with large and beaming smile
ON his face.
IL was sure you would be here,
Jack" she said, holding out her hand.
He made no verbal reply.
He merely stopped, gathered her in
his arms, and implanted q kiss on her
upturned lips.
The comments by the suburbanite
observers were substantially as follows
"Yum! Yum"

"He met her all right, anyhow"
"Don't, Jack, dearw

the timber line may be classed as
mountain meadows.
This region, in respect to its forest
cover, is sharply divided into two
parts by the crest Of the range. Upon
the west the forest is that of the Pa.
cific coast, with very dense under
growth. 1t is very heavy up to alti-
tudes OF between 5000 and 1000 feet,
where it begins to thin, and above
5000 feet it is almost entirely want
ing. The forest is composed, in the
main, of red fir, with some spruce,
hcmlock, and cedar. 1t is heaviest in
the valleys and upon the nerth slopes
of the ridges, rather than upon the
south slopes. East Of the crest of the
range of the forest is comparatively
light and open, with little underbrush,
and is composed almost entirely OF
yellow pine. Mr.. Plummer notes
that owing to the bold topography of
the reserve, and the presence of nu.
merous perpetual snow fields and gla-
ciers, there is no altitude which may
be termed a timber limit. Thus upon
Mount Rainier the alpine trees reach
an extreme limit of about 1900 feet,
but at Goat Peak the same forms are
found at an elevation of s, 400 feet.
The entire stand of timber upon
the reserve, including the park, is es.
timated by Mr.. Plummer at 2O,0l3,-
2S5,0O0 feet, board measure, an aver
age per acre of 1928 feet board mea-
sure. OF the total amount AZ per
cent is red or yellow fir, II per cent
hemlock, 10 per cent yelloS pine, and
6 per cent each red cedar and noble
fir, the remainder being made up OF a
variety of species.
Mr.. Plummer calls attention to the
value OF the humus in retsrding sur
face drainage. On the eaatern slope,
in the watershed Of the Yalima river.
the surface flow continues To feed the
river for three months after winter
rains and SHOWS are over. This is of
immense importance in irrigation, it
being estimated that fall Of one foot
in this river affects 3O0,O01 acres OF
land.
Fire has been very destructive in
this region. Upon the wess slope re-
stocking after fires commonly takes
place promptly by the sauss species; |;
but upon the drier east slope restock-
ing is much slower. Fires are started
by sheep men, prospectoss, settlers,
Indians, and camping parties. Light
ming also starts fires occasionally.
There is little or no cuts;ng Of tim
Der in this region. Large numbers Of
sheep are herded on the See. 900 acres
Of grazing lands of the reserve, mainly
on the eastern slope Of the Cascade
mountains.
Mr.. Plummer says that she scenery
OF the reserve is on too grand scale
to be affected by any operations of
man, such as grazing and ksrding. but
that it is disfgured by the fires.
Eighteen plates, including some
beautiful views, illustrate the report.

THE House Committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measures is hearing the
opinions of leading manufacturers and
business men on the subject OF making
the metric system compulsory in this
country. Scientists are akin favor of
it, but there is yet question as to
what the practical business world
thinks. 1t is already adopted as the
legal system, and the present action
is taken to see whether it will be wise
to enforce its use in all government
transactions.

A NUMBER of prominent women
have petitioned the President to inter-
vene in the L" insults and humiliations"
to which they have been subjected by
customs inspectors at New York on
their return from abroad. It has
often been said that if every voter in
the country could see the outrageous
methods employed at the customs
houses there would be no question
that import duties would be abolished
at the first possible opportunity.

THE Agricultural Department is
soon to begin regular and systematic
inspection of all American dairy pro-
ducts intended for export. Heretofore
unscrupulous exporters have handled
inferior or adulterated articles, until
our dairy products have earned a bad
name. The Government proposes to
put stop to this.

CELERY BY THE CARLOAD.
That's the Way It's Coming Now to

From the New York Sun.
 "The celery that we are getting now" " said a wholesale produce dealer, 'comes mostly from California, and carload lots are common shipments. Go over into the railroad freight yards across the North River at this season any day, and you will find there, just received, ten or fif- teen carloads of celery.
 We get York state celery in quantity from September to Christmas California begins to come from the 10th to the 20th of December, and lasts till April. We begin to get Florida celery m the middle of March, and when Florida stops we begin to get it from Ohio and Michi- gan and New York again; in the greatest quantity from the Western part of this state.
 "So, from one source and another, within our own country, we now get eel cry as we do so many other vegetables, the year around"

Opelika January Especial l.)-Reports sent out of Washington regarding the appointment of MT. J. o. Thompson as postmaster at Tuskegee does MT.

 Mir Thompson is the United States Commissioner for this district and for a long while has had his office here. It is we'll known to his friends and is on record in Washington that nearly the entire delegation of Alabama congress- m en, both Alabama senators, all of the new Republican appointees and both Vaughn and Dimmick factions had strongly endorsed the application of MT. Thompson. He will resign the position he now holds in a few days and will take charge of the office at Tuskegee where he now Is. He is brother of Congress- man Thompson.

HANNA MACHINE
 GETS NEW BOOST
THE ADVENT OF HENRY c. PAYNE INTO THE CABINET WILL DO MUCH FOR THE OLD RlNG-A SURPRISE.

Washington, January 29.-(Special.)- The succession of Henry c. Payne to the postmaster generalship has proved a great boon to the old Hanna machine. A case in point is the appointment of c. M. Bar nett today as surveyor of customs at Louisville, Ky. Until Payne became a cabinet officer the President had prac- tically decided to turn down Internal Revenue Commissioner Yerkes and ap- point former Governor Bradleys candi- date, D. R. Collier who was at the head of the militia which refused to allow the Kentucky Legislature to hold meetings during the contest over the gubernat orial election in Frankfort.
 Payne, however, managed to induce the President to retain Barnett, chairman of the central committee, and a "dyed-in- the-woor' Hanna man. Ex-Governor Bradley is what might be termed an original Roosevelt man. His complete turn-down came as a surprise on that ac- count. It looks as if the President is play ing his cards for the support of the Han na machine in 1904.

can file dispatch with the cable com pany in Manila without filing an exact copy or duplicate of it with the military authorities"
 MT. Lodge said the secretary of war had assured him there was no censorship of press dispatches in the Philippines.
 Censorship Officially Removed.
 Mir. Beveridge read an official state ment from General Greeley chief signal officer of the army as follows:
 Censorship in the Philippine Islands has been removed entirely between these islands and Europe and America save in the case of code messages of unauthor- ized firms having no standing. The press is entirely free. Necessarily limited cen sorship is maintained over messages in the Philippine archipelago and to adja- cent points where insurgent troops and agents are in active hostility against Eu- rope and America, but only to points where insurgents are actively engaged through juntas or other agencies, such as in Hong Kong or Singapore
 Senators Dubois and Beveridge at once differed as to whether this was censor ship.
 MT Bacon gained the floor and eriti- cized MT. Lodge for declining to yield to him at the time he desired to proceed and observing time-h -honored courtesy. He then discussed at length the legal question which had been raised by MT. Money, concluding with tribute to MT. Hoar for his loyalty to free institutions" and ex- pressing the hope that the people of Mas sachusetts soon would prove themselves to be in harmony with him.
 As Mir Cullom was appointed to move an executive session,s MT. Hoar suggested that the Senate now might have a little discussion of the character of Mary Queen of Scots," and amid laughter the Senate, at 4:35 D. m., went into executive session, and shortly afterward adjourned.
