in Open MARKETS
Ships and Materials For the Canal
Are 10 Be Sought
NO JOBBERY WILL Be TOLERATED
A Howl 10 Expected TO Follow, But
Secretary Taft and the Executive
Committee Decide That the Money
Consideration is Too Great to Be
Ignored.

Washington, Specialize executive
committee Of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission has decided to purchase in
the markets of the world the material
and supplies necessary for the build
ing the Panama canal.
This important decision was reached
with some reluctance, because it was
appreciated by Secretary Taft and the
executive committee that there would
surely be great outcry from two
great interests in this country, the
producers Of material and the ship
owners If the purchases were not linn
tied to the American products. But 1t
was decided that the money consider
alton was SO great that it could not
be ignored, for it was held that in
some cases fully fifty per cent more
would be charged for material needed
in canal construction than the same
goods could be purchased for in Eu-
rope. Chief Engineer Wallace, for i'll
stance, showed that two ships, in ad-
ditisn to those running between New
York and Colon, and owned by the
Panama Railroad Company, were alb
solutely necessary to carry the food
supplies and material needed for the
work. No American ships could be
bought at any reasonable price. and
when it came to buying ships, Secre-
tary Taft said that while he could buy
two Of 5000 tons ships in Europe for
$750,00O, it would cost 81 100000 to
build ships here.
AS to material needed for canal con-
struction, the committee decided that
by reserving to itself the right to pur-
chase in the worlds markets, it would
at least oblige American manufacture
ers to bid against their foreign compel
itors if they wish to sell goods to the
commission.

N0RTa CAROLINA Crops



The week ending Monday. May Is.
was characterized by very warm. sui
try weather. frequent and In places ex.
cessive rains. and sSme very severe 10
cal thunderstorms with destructive
winds. The mean temperature for the
State averaged nearly 7e degrees, or
degrees daily above normal, with the
highest temperature exceeding so on
two or three days. Between the show
ers there was abundant sunhine and
warmth and moisture favored rapid
growth Of vegetation. Showers were
frequent; In the central southern por-
ton OF the State there was generally
altogether too much rain. soaking the
soil, keeping the water courses full.
and entirely preventing the most nee
essary work of the farmer at this
time, the cultivation Of rapidly grow
ing crops. The most severe local
storms occurred on the evenings of the
10th and 18th over Wayne county. Har-
Guilford, and in the west In Ruther-
ford. Davie. Alexander. Surry and Ire
dell. In these much damage was done
to land and crops by washing rains.
and high winds blew down many for
est and fruit trees, fences and barns
Damaging hail occurred In Wayne
county. Over most Of the extreme
eastern and northern counties the rain
fall was moderate and all conditions
very favorable.
In many counties farm work was en-
tirely prevented this week, the culti-
vation OF crops. which have become
very foul. has been seriously delayed.
and also the late planting of corn and
cotton. Dry weather is needed. Crops
| are flourishing, however, growth hav-
ing been very rapid, though many
fields are in danger Of being smother,
ed by the more vigorous development
of grass and weeds.
Much cotton has still to be planted !;
the termination of seeds has been
very rapid; chopping is under way
generally and good stands are assured
but many fields are very grassy, and
need work. but the soil is too wet; as
yet very little corn has been planted
on bottom lands. cut and bud worms
are damaging corn on low lands. Ex

liz selling, which profit pays for the

when the dairy is complete there is
as much money in the bank as when
starting 1t is merely a question of
more capital and common sense with
zeal. The farmer who would be sue
cessful should stop and ask himself;
''Is this the wisest thing for me to do?
Is this the best way of doing it?' He
should consult with his wife on farm
ing business, and to that add a farm
paper to consult with. 1 heard a
farmer say that he had no money to
fool on farm papers. and no time to
fool reading them. At the same sea-
son he sold his apples at $1.5O a bar
rel. when if he had read the morket

Home1y Facts About Dairying.

The Rural New Yorker prints a
very instructive article about dairy
ing Though intended for large
dairies most that is said will apply
equally well to the small one. If you
cannot grow clover hay you can grow
several good substitutes for it. We
believe that carrots could be raised

prices to get back their cost. There

corn, rye or wheat: have them ground,
sell the -four and feed the bran;
also grow carrots. Turn the corn

as is needed for the additional grain

and that by good farm mill, to save

any reliable nurseryman nor do they
ever offer him any of their wares.
They are selling roses, warranted to
bear flowers six inches across, fruit
trees of all kinds absolutely immune
to blight, rot and other diseases, the
bodies of which no rabbit will touch.
Then, to the man who has been so
unfortunate as not to have planted
their wonderful trees, they extend the
horticultural ''balm of Gilead' in the
shape of various serumS and powders,
done up in fancy colored papers and
bottles. Inoculate a fruit tree from
one bottle and it will be immune
to disease for all time, then with an
other and all the pear, peach, plum
and apple trees will become rabbit
proof. the bark turning so bitter and
offensive that no rabbits stomach
can stand it. But the remarkable eff
feet of these inOculations does not
stop here, but is so far reaching that
the blossoms become perpetually frost
proof the following spring, fruit trees
of all kinds never failing to bear full
crops of fruit so nauseating to the
cuculio and all other insects and
worms that it gags them, just as the
bark does the rabbit The price of the
various bottles is only one dollar
each, while for the same reasonable
sum one can buy any one of the vari-
Gus fruit trees. So far as 1 can learn,
the only horticultural wonder that
these tree necrOmancers have not Of
fered is one that will have all kinds
of fralit on the same tree, though pos
sibly this gang is not quite up-tO-
date. and that sort of a combination

l hope the papers will publish this
warning that the horticultural mil
lenium has not yet dawned, which
would really seem unnecessary except
to idiots, for it will be a very serious
loss not only to the buyer, but also
to the nurseryman to be thus cut out
of his sales of honest stock.
There is not one word of truth
or one cent in value to any of these
frauds now being offered, the perpe-
traitors of which will never again be
heard of after they get their victims
money in their pockets. To all those
who have made part payment on such
orders, l would say, make the rascal
disgOrge, if you have to take a stick
to him.
