Many claim that travel is apt to
make a mar disconnected, but with
me travel breeds contentment. A trip
among fellow armers in other sec
tons shows me how l may improve
my own methods. The more [ traVel
among successful! farmers the more
thoroughly l am convinced that it is
more in the man than in the farm or
location. l have seen men on eastern
farms that were naturally thin soil
who were making good money IN their
Investments, While on the other hand
| have seen men who We're losing
money every Year on some Of the
most fertile farms Of the west. 1t is
the man more than the location.
Ever know a man to scrub his hogs
unless he was intending to take them
to a state fair? Well, | have. l have
a friend in central Ohio who keeps his
hogs as clean as his Jersey cows. He
declares ii two lots of hogs are treated
alike in every respect, except that one
lot receives a thorough Scrubbing with
soap sud- once in a while. there WI
be q marked difference in favor Of
the hoes that are washed hen the
time for Strengthening comes. A clean
bed Of straw. with a dry house, so
- AAt9Ail,
viii also promote thrift and growth.
There may be something in that ar
gument. Certainly a hog cannot be
too clean if he tried. | do know that
naturally a hog $ a pretty clean sort
of animal and he enjoys a bath as
much IS 2 man does. If the hog is
considered a filthy animal hat de-
yours filthy food it is because Of the
treatment given. Hogs will select
clean and wholesome GOD ALWAYS if
given the opportunity to do so.
Inc time IS not far distant when
people will place q higher estimate
upon the value of skim milk as a hui
man . Many of our scientific men
have devoted much study and atten-
ton to this phase Of the dairy bust
ness until they AVE solved the prob
lem OF preserving this LIQUID food in
q solo form, and already there are a
number of powdered milk plants in
operation and the demand for the
roduc is rapidly increasing.

Gardening Made Interesting.

In a recent issue some experiments
were outlined that would show the
growth Of peas and beans, with the
suggestion that a notebook record Of
later developments WOuld be very in
teresting. The suggestion is so good
that it is worth repeating, for such
study is wonderfully fascinating.
If the beans you are watching hap
pen to be the 'polve" variety, watch
the way they climb their pole and
then watch the other vines and note
the difference in the way they Irvine
some going always towards the sun
and others in the opposite direction.
All vines have a wonderful fascina-
ton when one begins to study their
habits, for their ways of working
seem as intelligent and their move
mentS as voluntary as those of a per
son-but they must be watched to
learn these things.
Another interesting study is the re-
lationship of plants. Not every boy
knows that the onions he is growing
in the vegetable garden are full cous-
ms to the hyacinths and lilies in the
flower garden. There are more than
a thousand members in this circle of
relatives, and they will be found in
very unexpected places.
A third line of study that holds
many surprises is the various kinds Of
seed formation-the way they are
produced and scattered. Their may
be some surprises. too, in trying to
learn how many of our foods and
drinks are merely seeds prepared in
various ways.
Not only food, but clothes as we'll,
show up some surprises when they are
really thought about. When a boy is
reminded that his straw hat and his
cotton shirt grew in the field he sees
them with new eyes and probably be
gins to trace other belongings back
to their Origin.-Farm World.

Enterprise and Sweet Potatoes.
Carthage Blade.)

There is no crop that the soil Of
Moore county will produce more
readily and a~budantly than sweet po-
taos. For these the market is always
eager and unlimited. Why, then, is
this CROP not more extensively plant
ed? The answer may be in the fact
thta our people have not been enter
prising enough to find the mar
ketS. OF course the home market
can be. easily supplied and glutted
But the planters should go broad and
find an unlimited demand in the great
cities at the North. Farmers in East
ern North Carolina plant sweet pota-
toes as their money crop and sell in
New York and other large cities.
There are fortunes in Moore county
soil if our people make the product
and are enterprising enough to find
the market and deliver and exchange
the farm products for cash.
We note with pride that Mr.. Henry
Page, Jr., Of Aberdeen, has planted
25 acres in sweet potatoes, and has
already sold the future crop. But who
else is so enterprising as this young
man, who has even at this early age
entitled himself to be known as a
captain of industry.
The Blade predicts that he will
early become one Of the most useful
and wealthy mn of this county.
Give us more enterprise which will
lead to the unfolding of the bidder
and undiscovered wealth of our gener-
and prolific soil and climate.

A QUESTION OF BANKRUPTCY.

There was a very interesting inter-
change of expressions in the Cotton
Manufacturers Association last week
that needs TO be known and which
should arouse the people to demand
fair treatment. For several years the
business men and manufacturers of
North Carolina have been trying to
get ordinary treatment in the matter
of freight rates. They did not, in
the first instance, go to legislators or
officials. but to the railroads officers
and lay before them facts showing
that North Carolina is SO much dis
eliminated against in favor of Vir-
ginia towns as to deny them a fair
chance with these competitors. They
received from the railroad authOri-
ties certain explanations that did not
explain. but have received no conces-
sions and have been denied fairness
and justice. They then went to leg
islators and they instructed the Cor
poration Commission and the Cover
nor to employ every power of the
State to secure equal treatment for
North Carolinians with Virginia COM
petitors similarly situated. The rates
hat are complained of are Interstate
and these officials lack power, but
they ave found the facts and the
whole power of the State is behind
the cases that are now pending in the
Federal courts That is a slow
process, even if relief is granted at
the close.
At the Charlotte meeting, the gem
eral freight agent of the Southern, ad-
hitting that Virginia enjoyed freight
rates very much lower than were
charged North Carolinians for the
identical service. said that the roads
could not grant North Carolina equal
rates, adding: IF we undertook to
use the same rates as apply to Vir-
ginia it would bankrupt every railroad
in the South within thirty days"
Mr.. A. A. Thompson, of Raleigh,
presid ont of three cotton mills, who
has ST ldied the question and who is
in 10 sense anti-railrOad, replied to
Mr.. Green. After stating that Presi-
dent Finley had stated in Raleigh that
the rates charged Virginia cities were
remunerative to the railroad, Mr..
Thompson said in substances:
Il do not know enough about the
affairs Of railroads to say whether
they would go into bankruptcy in
sixty days if they gave to North Caro-
lima mills and business men the same
freight rates they give to Virginia,
but | know enOugh of the cotton mill
business to know if they continue to
charge US rates discriminating gains
us, they will put the cotton mills of
North Carolina into bankruptcy"
The people of North Carolina do
hot ask anything of the big railroads
except fair treatment. They are tired
OIL TAR promises and Fourth of July
CIauonst They demand that North
aalolina be given the same rates that
80 gwen to Nirginians. Is there agi-
IN such demand? p-0'ooic7
