by seven bushels In esta blishing this
record he used only ten loads Of sta
Bile manure and lass than $40 worth
Of commercial fertilizer.
Director Parker has quite a num-
Der OF reports in from his corn club
boys, who have made around $50
bushels OF corn this year. He says
that the average this year will be
higher than last, when it was 5S.7
bushels.
Justly Proud OF Young Parker.
The people Of North Carolina are
justly proud Of young Parker. The
following special concerning his feat
comes from Ahoskie:
Ahoslkie, Nov. 21.-CharleS w. Par
ker, Jr., Of Menola- Hertford county,
n. c., produced 195 9-10 bushels. or
a fraction more than SO barrels Of
corn on one acre of land this year,
and 1911 has not been good corn
year either. The experts who meas
ured the corn were unanimous IN
rainfall the yield would have been
greatly increased. This boys Cror
will probably break some records any
way, because OF the low cost OF pro-
duction. It cost only "a cents per
bushel TO produce this amount OF
corn. The beauty Of the whole trans
action is that it is demonstration
which can be followed by the average
farmer on his wItoie farm.
Three years ago, when Mr.. 1. r..
Browne, local agent Of the United
States Demonstration Work. ard also
County Superintendent of Education
organized the corn club Charlie Par
ker was one Of the charter members
He was then 13 years Of age. The
first year; following the methods OF
the United States Department, rs IN
terpreted by Mr.. Browne, he grew "a
bushels. the next year 1872, and this
year 1916 $40. This boy Will continue
in the corn club next year and he
hopes to do still better.

Housing the Crops.
(Roanokc-Chowan Times ,

(Roanokc-Chowan Tines
Farmers in Northampton and in the
vicinity of Rich Square especially are
experiencing much difficulty in hous-
ing their crops. Many cotton fields
are white with the fleecy staple and
many acres are yet untouched b. the
pickers In the vicinity OF Rich
Square some OF the hustling farmers
like Mr. S. NJ. Baugham have about
all their crop in. Mr.. Eaugham has
housed and sold q large peanut crop.
and is about finished picking and gin
ming his 80-bale cotton crop. The
price paid for picking cotton this year
has been higher than ever, but the
price offered has been no inducemcnt.
Those who need work feel no hurry
about it so long as they can buy sup
plies on time.

NOT TOO MUCH COTTON
Production This Year Has
Not Rightfully Exceeded
Demand, Says Major
w. A. Graham

Major w. A. Graham, the State
Commissioners Of Agriculture, says
that if, as is claimed by some who
have given out figures. the cotton
crop for this year reaches 100000
bales, the production has not right
fully exceeded the legitimate de-
fnand.
According to his calculations it
would require a crop this year of
15,722,976 bales Of cotton to make
the production of the last three years
equal to the production of the three
years previous.

Best Yield from Single
Stalk of Cotton.
(Chatham Record. }

The largest Weld from a single
stalk of cotton that we have heard or
this year came from a stalk raised
by ex-Sheriff r. Milliken, OF TINS
township. By actual count there were
124 bolls Of cotton on the stalk pe-
sides a number Of unopened Dolls,
The cotton plucked from THESE
bolls weighed exactly one pound
From an acre Of such cotton 4,9oo
pounds, or nearly four bales, Of cot
ton would be realized. Who can peat
this?

day of my visit there the conviction
grew on me that we had done wisely
to set about it in our own way.

stood about the smoking mixture It
was the prospect of autonomy, the
promissory cake of Ultimate Independ-
ence which we exhibit on a high, in
accessible shelf, to be given to the
Filipino, if he is good-when he shall
be tall enough to reach it. And the
baseball bat? Well there is some
thing free and formidable and hit.or-
miss about the swing of bat that is
rather suggestive of our way in the
Philippines. And yet l suspected
from the first that Granger meant
something more than that He did.
There was a ball game between two
scratch teams of Moro boys on the
first morning of our stay in Jolo. They
played the game as if they had been
born to it, somehow, though the most
of them were dressed in nothing but
their mitts and their breech-clouts,
there was a home-like, American look
to them, as they crouched in their
tense, familiar attitude, that made the
phrase little brown brother" seem
more than a piece of cheap political
rhetoric. They play the game all
through the islands now. The wild
tribes in the interior are beginning to
find it a satisfactory substitute for the
joys of head-hunting. The very Fill
pinos see a reason in it for trimming
their long, disabling finger nails. And
when we got up to Baguio-
Baguio, as one should know, is the
Simula, the summer capital of the
Phi ippines.
They take the whole government up
there bodily from Manila for the hot
months; they even had the legislature
in session when We arrived. But the
immediate attraction on our first day
was a ball game.
And there stood the Hon. w. Cam

CLEANING OF Gus
PIDORS

The danger Of infection or conta-
gion arising from neglected cuspidors
is emphasized in a recent bulletin OF
the city health department. The bui-
letting goes on to advise that such
receptacles be cleaned often and thor
oughly. Following is the commun-
ication which has been issued on the
subject:
1T ia generally conceded that the
cuspidor found in the average busi-
ness place in Boise or In any other
city ID one OF the worst menaces 70
the public health to be found any
where in the land. On many occa-
sions a representative OF this depart
ment has called the attention OF the
proprieters and managers In num-
Der OF the business houses here to the
foul and highly unsanitary condition
lin whic htheir cuspidors were, kept,
vigorously insisted that they be given
more care, and that the public %
4 given better protection against dis
eaese that might be communicates
through germs from these filthy re-
ceptacleS.
Used For Weeks Without Cleaning
| There are cuspidors in pubic
places in Boise which are used TOT
several weeks without being emptied
and cleaned, and people suffering
from communicable diseases use them
daily. thus seriously menacing the
public health, for without q doubt

even a short space Of time dries ana

, through those places, carrying deadly

..In view OF the great danger Oh
spreading contagion and infection
i through unkept cuspidors In pubic
places. this department feels con-
! strained to insist that the utmost
/, precauion be exercised by business

In the best possible sanitary condition
