In single issue of an exchange tn,
other day the following two example,
OF success by progressive farmers were
noticed, and are given here for the in.
formation and inspiration of our read
ers on the farm:
Last year Mr.. ID. E McKinne.
OF Princeton, N. c., planted a piece
OF corn after oats, which made him
very fine yield. From one and
three-quarter acres he gathered
eight two-horse loads. This was
fifteen stands or five barrels, max
ing twenty-five bushels to each
load. Two hundred bushels for one
and three-quarter acres is certainly
a large yield. This land since plant
ed to clover.
Mr. John Stephenson, of Pleas
ant Grove, N C , and his son. RI
Stephenson, who farm together.
raised good crops again last year.
On their farm they had an acre of
corn which followed cotton and
made a very fine yield. They broke
the land with twO-horse plow and
made the rows four feet apart.
with the corn twenty-five inches in
the rows. They used three sacks
of 1873 guano and one hundred lbs
of nitrate of soda and one hundred
lbs of top dressing. They made 423 .
bushels of corn, 400 bundles of fod-
der and 16 bushels of peas on the
acre"

Recently an article appeared in Les
lies Weekly, written by W. J. Spill
man of the United States department
of agriculture the heading: The Citv
Man as Farmer" 1t is an interest
ing article and well written, but one
statement made by him is not applica-
lie to this section of the South. Mr.
Spillman said: "Since practically all of
the good farm land in this country is
now occupied, and since our population
continues to increase, especially in the
cities, it follows that future demands
for farm crops must be met bv in
creased yields.''
This statement is partially true and is
good reasoning, but the fact remains
that there is plenty of room yet for
many good farmers in the Southeastern
Atlantic states. Especially is this true
of North and South Carolina. For inst
ance, there is ten thousand acre tract
in southern North Carolina and another
over in northern South Carolina which
have recently come into the market
and no doubt there will be much more
1t is not worn out land, but land which
can easily be brought into a splendid
state of cultivation. The opportunity
for the man who desires to leave the
city a go on the farm is good. He
can get the land here in the South at
low prices and make good thing.
Mr.. Spillman is right in his theory of
increased yields" This is the time
for increased yields, and with a proper
knowledge of cond tions, study of the
need of the land and careful fertiliza-
ton the increased yield will come.
The purpose of this mention of the
article in question is simply to call it a
cordial welcome to the men who desire
to follow the suggestions of Mr.. Spill
man, to come South where there is the
best opportunity.

Learn TO Conserve Energy.

Now and then housewife saws that
the old methods of housekeeping are
good enough for her, that she does not
care for a washing machine or a gaso-
line iron, or kitchen stool. She does
realize that in this statement she is ad-
hitting she prefers to use her muscles
rather than her brain in the perform
ance of her tasks. Every one knows
that it requires intelligence and skill to
use household appliances; but in this
day of multiplicity household duties
housewives, young and old, should avail
themselves of every labor-saving de-
vice, realizing that the conservation of
strength and energy is as much her
duty as the conscientious performance
Of the daily tasks.

GOOD ROADS.

Most of the arguments so far adj
vanced for better highways have only
been to cover the increase in material
benefits that would accrue to the conn
ty. While this is a good line of argu
ment and one that will appeal quickly
to every voter, there are greater bene-
hts than the merely material ones tina.
Will follow good roads. They are the
moral, educational and social benefits
that will result
Morally, with better highways the
people generally, and farming commu-
mites especially. will be enabled to at
tend church regularly and irrespective
of the weather conditions. It would be
well for every minister in the county to
preach a sermon on the moral effect of
good roads between now and the IS h
of April.
Internationally, good rosds would first
benefit the children by permitting them
to attend school regularly and without
the attendant dangers of having to tres
pass on railroad or private property to
reach the school house. They would
permit farmers to attend farmers in
sti'utes and other educational gather
lngs and their wives to form clubs.
Socially, they would give them more
leisure for social enjoyment. by reason
of the shorter time in which they could
90 to and return from market with the
products IF their farms They would
enable them to extend their scousi,,-
tnce and enlarge the range of social in
tercourse.
O'e eff ct, much TO be desired, WOULD
be the elimination of petty feuds that
have from time to time shocked our
section. These are the outgrowth of
restricted social intercourse. and an on
portunlty TO broaden their intercourse
and larger acquaintance with other
communities, cannot but serve to elimi-
nate the small petty jealousies engen-
dsred ny constant and restricted in
tercourse with only few people.
Let everyone, then, interested in the
moral, educational and social uplft of
our county vote on the 18th of April to
give US the means of increasing and en-
Joying the benefits enumerated without
delay. 1t will be more than worth the
cost.

There is an unconscious sarcasm in
the term, intending the roads" This
process of "mending" is done every wear
and IN general it is glaring display of
how not to do it." 1t is an expenditure
of time and money which leaves the
condition of the roads worse than ever
There has been enough money wasted in
spelling roads than if wisely used would.
ere this, have made the highways of the
country good to travel on in all kinds of
weather. 1t seems strange that farm
ers, usually so alert to every improve
ment in theirlfarms, should. as a rule
be so remiss in the improvement of the
road by which the farms must be reach
ed, and over which everything taken to
or from the farm must be carried
Fortunately the conviction is RAPIDLY
growing that the money spent in max
ing good roads is the best sort of econ
omy and that such roads add greatly to
the value of the farm.

IN poverty it is not so much charity that
is needed as a wise helping to higher
social and moral life One great trouble
with many poor people is Their apathy
which leads them to be content to exist
rather than to live. To create healthy
oiscontent with their condition and
awaken some ambition is oftentimes
the most needful thing, as frequently it
is also the most difficult thing to do.
