&c the officers and members Of the

The impending presidential gam

amount Of unrest and uncertainty and
dissatisfaction prevalent in the coun-
try. There will be the customary
appeals to prejudice and ones liking
for that man or dislike for another.
1t is an excellent opportunity for
the members Of the Farmers Union
to view all men and measures, all
parties and platforms, not by what
they say, bu, by sheer test of sin
cerity and Of past performances.
so careful OF the man or the party
that has. before, promised you every
thing to get into office, and after he
achieved election. occupied himself
mainly with keeping his personal po-
al fences in order. Ee careful
Of the man who does you little petty
personal courtesies, such as dlStrDut-
ing a few garden seed or goVernmen

measures in which you are vitally in
tereSted.
Iie careful of the man or the party
that makes you promises you know
are political goldbricks, pure and
sirhple coined to get votes straw is
sues to be forgotten as soon as the
party or the man rides into office.
Vote less by the ear and the eNe~and

1t is high time the farmers of thi:
country ceased being governed by
sentiment in politics, and be guided
by sense instead. The campaign:
about to open offer an excellen
chance for beginning, for the rea

Sandhii! Apples.
Southern Pines Tourist

Not long ago Mr. J. F. Buchan
left on the editors table a basket of
fine looking apples raised on his place
at Manly. right out of the sand, as he
put it. The apples are as handsome
as could be found anywhere. The
flavor is fine and of special interest
is that the trees from which they
were taken are fifteen years old and
never bore fruit worth picking until
two years ago, simply because they
were not sprayed. Mr.. Buchan says
the sandhills soil will raise as fine ap-
pies ss grow if the trees are care
fully and persistently sprayed, receiv-
ing the same attention that is given
growers.

This is the only way he can save it at

pick or pull off from $50 TO 500 pounds
each per day. Not long ago Mr.
