preparations for a bigger and bet

There is no reason why Rowan

display the products Of his farm,
the workman the output of his
shop, the housewife what she can

All that is needed is that all
should pull together and, if this
is done, there is no reason why
the next fair should not be a

of the law, hardly a day passing in
which more or less of the blind

be the worthless desert lands. Dry
farming not only is bringing even the
desert into the work of feeding the
country; it is also teaching greater
care and economy and intensiveness in
the cultivation of the soil under all
conditions, and thus becomes still an
other agency for expanding beyond
present known limits the capacity of
the national landed area to meet the
food requirements of a population
vastly greater than this century is
likely to see assembled within the
boundaries of the United States. It
is hard to maintain a Malthusian pes

Opments in soil productivity as we now

WORK CONTINUED.
Forsyth County Commissioners De-
plOre Recent Authorization LeSiS-
latiOn and Ask SOCietX'S Helm

Especial to News and Observer.)
Greensboro, N. c., 0 13.-At the
State Audubon Society office the fol-
lowing letter and resolutions were yes
terday received from the Board OF
Commissioners of Forsyth County:
Dear Sirs: 1 am enclosing you a
copy of a resolution which was pass
ed at our last board meeting. held on
November 1st, 1909:
"Resol*ed, That we ask the State
Audubon Society to enforce the game
law Of this comfy as far as possible,
and that all fees collected by the
Clerk Of the Court be turned over to
said Society, and that the hunting
licenses and game laws be printed and
placed in the Clerk Of Courts office.
The writer was instructed to have
the game laws n the hunting Ii
cense printed, and they will be on
file in the clerks office by the end of
this week, and the unanimous opinion
Of the board was that as a result OF
your knowledge and experience in
this matter that your Society is in a
better position to enforce the game
laws than our board, and our board
suggests that the enforcement of the
game laws of North Carolina should
be a State wide proposition, and that
there ought to be a law enforcing all
the game laws by State Audubon So
ciety, n our board directed that the
State Audubon Society be given free
scope in enforcing the game laws in
this county, and that any law passed
by the State Legislature Gripping the
splendid work Of his Society is a
serious mistake. Will your Society
take over and put under your protec-
tive wing Forsyth county? If so, we
will contribute towards the support of
a game warden $4,000 a month, or
in other words, $4,000, as our game
season runs from the goth of Novem-
Der until the 1st Of January, and any
fees collected from the sale of hunt
ing licenses will be turned over to
the Audubon Society. If there is
anything else that we can do to help
the cause along, let us know and we
will be perfectly willing to do it for
you. Very truly yours,

Chairman Pro Tenn.

Rocky Mount Tobacco Market.

Rocky Mount, N. c., Nov. 13.-Sales
of leaf tobacco for the week ending to-
day have again been light, about 400
600 pounds having been sold. The
weather has been entirely too dry to
handle tobacco. except in pits, which
is more or less unsatisfactory and a
season is anxiously looked forward to
when we expect increased receipts.
The character of the offerings have
been about like the past several weeks.
While the proportion of very common
tobaccos are not large, the larger part
Of the offerings consist of a thin bright
leaf, lacking in body and character.
with but little OF the finer grades OF
tobacco appearing. Wrappers still con-
tinue scarce, and it is thought will
be in demand by the manufacturers,
who will largely a to use substi-
tuteS.
Prices continue high. and in fact
they were higher towards the close of
the week than any time during this
tobacco season, and while the farm
ers will not receive very remunerative
prices for their crops owing to the
inferior quality of same, yet the prices
appear high to the dealers and manu-
f%acturers when the quality of the to-
bacco is compared with other years

Orchard and Small Fruits.

Orchard and Small Fruits.
Now is the time for planting fruit
trees in the South. 1 was up in Hay
wood county last week, and drove
fourteen miles up the Pigeon River
wagon hauling barrelled apples to
Canton. One man who has 5000
trees told me that he had a small crop
this season. but he sold 1000 barrels
for s2.25 per barrel at the station,
and 1 wondered hat all that beauti-
full valley was not being planted in
apples.
The mountains Of western North
Carolina are the best apple region in
the United States. Eve in this small
crop season the show Of these apples
at the State Fair in Raleigh was
wonderful, and the quality Of we'll
known varieties was excellent. J saw
Gillyfowers. which always sell for q
high price, finer than any I ever saw
brought from the North.
All the upper Piedmont country and
the mountain section should plant
more apples, and learn to handle them
right. The Pigeon Valley folks have
generally learned to pack in clean
apple barrels, but I saw n man
there hauling fine apples down in
bulk in a wogan-body with no springs
over rock roaos. 1hey "oulo all De
bruised by the time they reached
Canton, and the cold storage buyers
would not ouch them.
If you live in a good apple section,
plant apples now and do no plant
Ben Davis. for the market a gotten
well acquainted with their poor quail.
ity, out plant Stayman, Winesap, York
Imperial, Rome Beauty. and if you
have a mountain cover with black
humus soil, plant Albemarle Pippins.
The Gillyf1ower, too, will be a profit
able apple, and for early winter there
are no apples finer than Jonathan and
Grimes Golden. And there is money
in all apples like the Bonum and
Buckingham. But buy any
tree older than n year. They cost
less money, cost less freight, and you
can make just any sort of a tree out
of them-a l~OW-headed tree that can
be easily sprayed.
Now, if you have orchards, deter
mine that you will fight the San Jose
scale without quarter. AS soon as the
leaves are off spray with the lime
sulphur wash, and again in the early
apring. Then spray apple trees in
spring with Bordeaux mixture and
Paris green just as the blossoms fall,
to kill the codling moth.
Never plant peach trees on a sunny
slope to the south or east, but always
on high situations where the cold
winds blow and keep them back from
blooming too early in spring.
November is the best time in the
wear for setting strawberry plants.
After that we seldom have dry soil,
and the plants will not live we'll. Set
in rows 4 feet apart and Is inches in
the rows, using 1000 pounds per acre
of a fertilizer high in nitrogen and
potash.
Dewberries and high bush black
berries can also be planted in Novem-
her. Plants Of these that have been
grown from root cuttings IN a nursery
are better thar suckers from old
stools.

Have you ever noticed that many
Of the Northern farm papers made by
city men, treat their farmer readers
as if they were children or half
idiots? The silly, p~atronizing, so-called
'heart-tO-heart' talks in which the
publishers engage, patting them
selves on the back and playing the
demagogue generally. are enough to
make a self-respecting farmer sick
with disgust. We notice that none of
our Southern farm papers deal in
such sickening gush, and his is
another reason for patronizing papers
made in the South by men who live
in the South.

Prof. Massey's Views
Take Care of the Manure.

NOW, IT you have a stand Of crimson
Grover to be used for corr in the
spring, determine hat you will not
let your manure waste in the ~barnyard
or stables, but will get it out and
spread it as fast as practicable on that
clover, and get. ready for a good corn
crop. 1t will go a great deal further
II you use a spreader, and it
VIII take a great deal less b in
the handling Of the manure
The greatest work on the farm now
is the making of and the
rapid using of it. With plenty Of
forage and corn you can feed beeves
prohtably at present prices and can
nave cash from them in the spring for
starting the spring crops and the man
VINO buys all that he needs for cash
Will always have a profit over the man
who buys on credit.

Rush the Hogs Along.

With the hogs cleaning the peanut
fields and eating the pea that have
been grown especially for them, you
can now have a fine lot Of hogs to
finish off on corn. and can make bacon
with great profit at present high
profits. / was at a grocery store in
Raleigh recently and saw North Caro-
lima cured hams selling at Is cents
per pound. A good farmer in South
Carolina told me some years g that
his cured bacon and hams cost him
4 IL cents per pound. It will cost
more to make the meat now, but he
was then getting an average Of IA
cents per pound, and at hat time
cotton was 6 cents, and he said that
the cotton cost him the same per
pound that the meat did, and he sell
dom made less than a bale per acre.
