The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1911-05-23

Take, for instance, the case Of one
bright Southern boy the Secretary Of
Agriculture continued. His father had
no faith in what he called boo farm
ing. and, besides. he was about as
mean as they make them. His boy
had asked for the use Of an acre, and
the father efused, telling him he
would not have anything to do with
such foolishness. The boy persisted.
however, and the father finally pointed
to a rough hillside overgroWn with
brush and spotted with stumps and
stones, and told him if he would grub
that acre and move Off the stones he
could have it. The boy went to work,
and finally cleared it Then the old
man said: That acre is too good for
me to lose. 1 think I will plant it my
self The boy cried, and the father
finally said: Well. if you will clear an
other acre beside that / won't take it
from you, and you may plant it and
do what you please Thereupon the
boy again went to work and cleared
the secOnd acre. He planted it to
corn after our directions. and as a
result he made eighty-eight bushels.
! At the same time his father planted
and cultivated the acre adjoining,
using the old way. He made just
eighteen. Since then the old man has
been converted to our way OF farm
ing. He goes with his boy to the
/ agricultural fairs and tells about the

what me and my boy done.
Farming With Goats.
In another instance" continued the
Secretary. IAN farmer Would
fnot give his boy a horse to cultivate
his acre. The boy paid to have the
land plowed, and after that he did
all his cultivating with a common.
everyday goat. Notwithstanding that
he raised fifty bushels of corn. An
other boy had not even a goat and he
harnessed the calves, and made
seventy-fve bushels Of corr to the
acre. The Department is full of such
stories"
That is the kind of work that
makes men, Mr.. Secretary said L.

Arkansas He was so bashful when
the demonstrator OF the Agricultural
Department visited his father tina he
would not speak TO him. He could
not be persuaded TO talk and ran out
Of the house. Nevertheless the boy,

acre at a cost of s cents a busheI,

saying:
Now tell me he truth, my boy,
didn't you pick out the best acre on
your fathers place for that corn?
No replied little Ira My acre

Yes, do. l have already selected

work has on the boys alone tina

boys who are working that way rep

in this movement we are educating
whole communities and whole States.
We are revoIutioniZing the work of the
farmer of the South, and the changes
now going on will make that section
one of the h and most stable
parts of the country. The South is
just at the edge Of its beginning and
it's growth in wealth from now on will
be surprising to all the other parts

~ayingt0n. n. c., May 20.-Dr
1os4nh Hyde Pratt. State Geologist,
Ynd member of the executive com
nittee Of the Contra Highway AS
sociation today filed his report with
chairman Warner, mapping out the
eastern half of the highway. The
highway will be built as mapped out,
nroyided that the towns through
which it is to pass, and the county
commissioners of the various coun-
.ioe do their parts. Otherwise the
route named may be changed.
DR. Pratt and his associates econ
mpnded hat the highway u from
Raleigh to Smithfield, passing
through Garner, Auburn and Clay
ton several relations will be required
in order to cut down grades. From
Smithfeld to Goldsboro, the highway
will follow the present public road
via Princeton. The o must be
stralghtened, widened and several
bad grades eliminated. From
Goldsb0ro to Kinston, the highway
will follow the regular road, via La
Grange, Fields. Falling Creek; several
relations required. From Kinston
to New Bern, the route will go down
the Neuse River to Fort BarnWeH
and via Jasper to New Bern. From
New Bern to Beaufort Harbor two
routes are proposed and both recon-
mended. one via Newport mo down
the east shore of Newport river to
Beaufort, and the other a direct route
from Newport to Morehead City.
Several deviations are suggested
by DR.. Pratt as being very desirable,
especially hat of running the high
way from Kinston to New Bern, fol-
lowing closely the Trent river road
through Jones county. If means
are provided this will be included as
part Of the highway and SO mapped
out.
The State highway engineer will
SO over this part of the route next
week. Three engineers will be de-
tailed from the United States office
Of public roads for service along the
line and will be at work within thirty
days.

Never before In the history of the auto
mobile industry has the monthly output Of
motor cars from one concern reached the
astonishing figures that have just been re-
ceived from the Ford Motor company The
total number Of Model T cars shipped dur

This number is not only a record breaker
for the Ford company but is the largest
number of automobiles ever shipped by
any concern in the country in one month.
Previous to this record breaking month
Of March. the largest number of cars
shipped during the period OF any one
month was 373l. this number being sent

shipments. Just consider that in the
thirty-one days of March, four were sun
days and four were Saturday half days
leaving a total number of twenty-five
whole working days in which to turn out
automobiles. This gives a daily averag,
of 1888 Ford cars a day which in itself
would be a large monthly output for an
average automobile manufacturer.
