1t Pays to FertiliZc.

Mr.. l.. G.. Battle, of DurhaHl, VINO
is here in the interest OF fert1llzers,
this morning gave us some interesting
figures on the value of crops produced
in North Carolina and the amount OF
fertilizers.
He contends it pays to use COM
mercial fertilizers, since the State is
%expending altogether only ~$1O,OOO,OOO
annually for fertilizers, while 1t IS
making crops valued at seventy mil
lions, as follows: Hay, $4,000, 900;
tobacco, $4,000, 600; corn, S24,oO0,-
600; cotton. 5000 900. Mr.. Battle
HE We will publish as soon as re-
ceived.
While we believe it pays to fertiliZe,
we doubt the wisdom of depending
entirely on commercial fertilizers.
The hay crop in North Carolina is
raised without fertiliZing. In fact
the hay crop gathers fertiliZing prop
critics from the atmosphere and the
earth and stores humus and nitrogen,
two valuable fertilizing elements.
Since the bulk of the corn crop is
made without fertilizing, it would APP
pear that nearly all the $4,000, 900
worth of fertilizers is placed under the
fOrtN-tWO million dollars worth of cot
ton and tobacco. which means we are
spending practically on%e-fourth of all
We get for this
The~old cOnpOSt heap and rotation
Of crops adds substance to the soil,
while fertilizers quicken the growth
and supply elements that do not al
ways appear in the homemade ma
nureS. Try some of both and YOU
Will find a greater share Of profit

Money In High-BrcI Hogs.

My experience as a breeder of Po-
for more than twenty
years has been that it pays best to
breed pure brcds Of the Very best
breeding style and type for breeding
purposes, and as q farmer and feeder
Tor over thirty yearS ! know it paws
ana pays We'll to raise the best for

quicker and mature earlier With less
iced, but they sell easier and at better
prices than grades Of any breed. \

pure breeds Of any breed Of a uni
form style Will always q
premium on the market.
Another advantage the farmer has
III breeding pure breds is tina he can
select such animals as are Suitable
Tor breeding purposes from his own
herd and of his own breeding. and
can breed thoroughbreds with much
ItSs expense than if he had to buy his
breeding stock. And besides his.
there is always q good demand for
pure breds Of good quality at a bet
ter price than for pork.
Another greaJ advantage in favor
OF pure bredS is that they are of a
more gentle and docile disposition and
are easier handled and not disposed

Quality Counts in Tobacco.

wo have before us a bundle OF
vranners. beautiful In color, strong in
texture and Of the proper size anu
quality that old for 47c. rms tobac-
co was sold on the Wilson market a
few dars ago by Mr.. j. A. Bennett. OF
oak CITY. one ~two-horse load-just
think OF it, containing 1.152 pounds
brought 320.S0 or an average OF 70
all cents per pound, says the Times
of Wilson.
An examination of the tobacco and
of the selling price tell their own
story.
Mr.. Bennett is not q selfish man and
does not want the earth and the 1ull-
ness thereof. therefore does not over
crop himself and makes big money.
He believes in quality rather than
quantity, and every man. in every line
of endeavor, whether farmer or nan
ufacturer, should see to it that all of
the product turned out is of the very
best. There is always room at he
top. While. if you are satisfied with
staying at the DOT of the ladder. the
competition is so great that you are
swamped in the general mass Of in
competent effort.
When this section first began to
make tobacco. much literature was
published or the subject. in an effort
to tell our people the right way. and
get them in the habit. for it would
seem they again need it. when the
average price for all tObaccO on the
Wilson market is Toe. and one farmer
haulS some to town and gets 28c.
for it.
1t means nothing more or less than
some fellow is making tobacco at less
than cost, or much less than 10c. in
fact that the community on the aver
age is making it at cost.

How southern Farmers Fail to Get
The Best Results.

The reason that the Northern,
Eastern and Western farmers are SO
far ahead Of our Southern farmers
both as money carners and owners
of beautiful well kept homes sur
rounded with every convenience and
comfort of life. is because they give
more attention to the instruction OF
children in the use of mechanical
tools than we do down South. Every
farmer north OF Maryland is Il car
penter with a full set of tools in a
we'll kept farm work shop. Why?
Because their fathers before them
had the work shop and tools and
their children learned to use
ter tools just as they learned to use
the hoe and pillow. AS these Northern
boys grow up many of them develop
into skilled and m%anufac-
turcrS. In the State Of Pennsylvania

OF
TENYO BALK

Wind and the outward tide came
near making trouble for the big Jap
anese liner Tenyo Maru as she was
leaving port this morning She pulled
away from the Hackfeld wharf all
right, made the turn opposite Brew
Cr's wharf so as to head outward and
then started for the channel Then
the trouble began. The turbine en-
gines with which she is equipped re-
fused to steer in such close quarters.
Wind and tide then gradually veered
the big ship off until she was headed
straight for the lighthouse When di-
rectly off the foot of Fort street she
signalled for tug and came to a
full stop. The Intrepid responded
promptly, and by steadying ahead and
then slowly turning the bow toward
the channel, she gave the big steamer
a straight head on the open sea. Once
in the channel and running straight
ahead the vessel was alright.
The turbine engines are the best
ever for running straight ahead or
even wide turns; but when it comes
to the spinning wheel act they are
not in with the old style machinery.
AS the Tenyo was drawing twenty
nine feet forward, and is about 600
feet in length, she was no toy to han
die.
