rHERE IS 4 MARKEr HERE !: LET Us sUrrLY .

From what has been said it is seen that we have
a large home market to supply, and when this is
done, there will be plenty of markets waiting for
our surplus. We have all the natural resources
that could possibly be desired. Everything is
ready, waiting for good trained men to take the
helm and start the good work. This is the need
of North Carolina, for we must have men
trained in the different lines of work.
I am far from believing that the sole thought
of a States citizen should be fixed on money
making. But I am also far from believing that a
States sole condition should be one of compare
tive poverty. These things may be material, and
yet when our children ask for bread we do not
want tolgive them a Stone; when they ask for an
education we do not want to say, "Our poverty
is too great to ,giye it to you;' when they ask
for a slight share in the comforts and joys of
life, we dofngt want longer to say, "Those things
are for better trained neighbors-not for you"
THE STATES OPPORTUNITY.
The training for these happy home-making in
dustrlfs should start from the time the child
begiRs school, and be continued through his school
coXrse Surely it is no unreasonable requirement
to direct a child's thoughts towards the path of
fife he is to follow. Why should a child who is to
make his living by farming not know something
Of the soil, of plants, of insects, of bacteria, of
markets? These things are easily learned. He
has for centuries been taught arithmetic In order
that he might know how to count. Why not now
teach him also his business in order that he may
have something to count2 He has for centuries
been taught geography that he might learn of
distant lands. Why not teach him also some
elementary science that he may know something
of the land on his own farm He has for ~centurie
been taught history in order that he might knoy
how how dead men lived. Why not also teac
him some agriculture in order that he may knot
how live men live?
Along this line is the opportunity of North
Carolina, and wise indeed are the first to realize it.

Nearly all farmers plant cotton too thick. We
can remember when one and a half to two and
a half bushels of seed to the acre were planted.
Even now most farmers plant from one and a
fourth to two bushels per acre. No farmer should
plant more than three pecks to a bushel per acre.
A peck per acre would be plenty If the seed could
be properly distributed. To plant too many seed
is to waste part of them and to arrange for a lot
of unnecessary work In chopping. We have cot
ton too thick. Years ago around here cotton was
planted in rows two and three-quarters to three
feet apart. Now we have the rows three to thres>
and a half feet wide. We still have them rather
narrow. In the best cotton growing parts of the
South the usual width is four feet, and some have
them four and a half feet. The writer has no cot
ton rows less than four feet wide. Cotton rows
should be from three feet to four and a half, ac-
cording to the fertility of the soil and amount of
manure used. It should have proper distance be-
tween the stalks and the rows.-J. d. Beatty,
Johnston Co.. N. @.

col lred to the full sunlight of the agricultural
man featuring on which is to rest North Caro-
lna's future.
AGRICULTURAL MANUFACTURING.
By agricultural manufacturing I mean the con-
version of the raw products of the farm into such
finished products as beef, mutton, pork, lard, milk,
cream, butter and cheese. You will all agree with
me In holding that the greatest profit nearly al
ways comes from converting the raw materials
into finished products. This is the profit that the
citizens of the State should in future make them
selves. The SAVING of this profit will mean the
difference between poverty and wealth; between
i~lliteracy and education; between serving and be-
ing served.
Do not for a moment believe that I want $3.50
Carolina to stop growing cotton and .aa6Gv a..

- - 80 49, qGttle farmer, as well as
80 49, such machines as horses,
eMG6 swine, to convert into finished
6 ducts the raw materials made by his rotation.
Farmers will find no trouble in disposing of these
finished products in North Carolina at great prof
its, and at the same time will have the by-products
from these animal machines to return to their
soils. This will build up the single-crop worn lands
by adding the two great requisites OF our EXHAUST
ed soils, namely, nitrogen and humus.
That North Carolina with it's matchless climate
free from intense heat and extreme cold, from wet
seasons and dry seasons, and having the greatest
variety of soils ranging from mountain tops to
alluvial plains, is admirably adapted to raising
almost everything that goes to furnish the Amerl-
can table cannot be doubted. But still there re-
mains the old bugaboo that the Southern farmer
is handicapped, that he has no market for his
produce.
AN ASTONISHING SHOWING FROM RALEIGH.
Believing that even for the people OF North
Carolina 10 supply. their own home market would
give employment to a great number of our farm
ers that might be anxious to take up this KIND OF
work, I visited the different grocerymen In Ra-
leigh and inquired how much of the different
farm products they received from out of the
State. By this means a fair estimate was made
that there we're shipped from outside of the State
into Raleigh each year
Seven thousand seven hundred pounds of but
ter.
Five thousand pounds of oleomargarine.
Thirty-six eight hundred pounds of cheese.
One hundred and fifty thousands pounds OF
lard.
One hundred and ffty-six thousand pounds OF
hams and other meats.
Six thousand eight hundred cases of corned
meats.
Six thousand five hundred pounds of Hour.
Six hundred and fifty cases of cereals.

Late Corn.

Common field corn may be planted up to July
1, with the certainty of its maturing enough for
feed, if not for grinding. The early Dent corn,
white or yellow, is also a good variety for plant
ing after small grain. The Hickory King, if
raised South several years, is better than the
Dent, for it is excellent for meal or roasting ears.
The cob is very small. The Mexican June corn is
said to be fine if planted July 1 to 20 on rich
land. We have seen the variety planted early and
it made nothino but stalk with a little sharp shoot
about twelve feet from the ground. For roasting
ears alone, plant the large varieties of sugar
corn. That does better when raised here a year
or two.=Selected. y

The rapid, almost marvellous, development of
cotton manufacturing in North Carolina has led
many people to think that our future lies in manu-
featuring and not in agriculture. 1t is true that
there are now in the State great opportunities for
all sorts of ordinary manufacturing enterprises,
but these ordinary manufacturing industries will
soon seem only as the light of a cigarette in the
nerveless mouth of some senseless boy, when
col lred to the full sunlight of the agricultural

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE
State Medical society at the next SEES
sion of the legislature will ask for al
appropriation to construct a hospital
for persons afflicted with tuberculosis.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting of the society to look into the
question will report that a hospital
for consumptives is a necessity for
Indiana DIR. Hurry, secretary OF the
state board of health, and DR.. Theo-
dore Potter, of Indianapolis. are doing
most of the work of arranging for the
request.
The plans are as yet immature, but
the medical society proposes an insti-
tuition that will accommodate 800 pa
tients, each of whom, it is supposed,
will remain in the hospital from four
to six months. Statistics show that 80
per cent of tubercular persons are
cured of the disease if treated in time.
The fight for the hospital will be the
most vigorous that the health officers
have waged for any measure. The
health authorities intend to get the
public interested in the scheme.

ans and all of the several military
companies of the city will participate
