part of the profit they should have
themselves. If calves were fatten-
ed on the farm, using cotton seed
meal as a concentrate, higher
price per pound would be received
and the farmer would not only
profit by this and the additional
weight but would have in the ma
nure IS per cent of the fertilizing
value of the cotton seed meal.
With the good grazing furnish
ed by Bermuda grass and Burr
clover and the abundance of for
age crops that yield bountifully in
the Southeast, this section should
be the great source of the coun-
try's beef and dairy products sup

Southern Railway will send a man
to help build a dipping vat or silo

A BIG THING FOR FARMERS
The First District Congressman
Has Made Arrangements to
Have Demonstration Farm
in Each of the Counties of His
District if The Courts Viii
Help Him With the Ar
rangement.

Washington, Sept. 14.-If the
plans as agreed upon by the de-
partment of agricultural Con-
gressman Sam r. Sells of the first
Tennessee district meet with the
approval oil the various county
courts, it is certain that agents
from the department will shortly
begin work in practly every coun-
ty, in conducting demonstration
farms.
Congressman Sells, nearly two
years ago, took up this matter
with the secretary of agriculture,
but on account of the limited ap-
preparation available forthis char
acter of work, he did not until re-
Gently secure a promise of aid.
The department has now prom
ised him a sufficient appropria-
ton to conduct this work in at
least ten of the counties of his
district in the event the county
courts will take advantage of the
plan and make small appropria-
tan each to assist in the payment
of the salary and expenses of the
agent. He has written all the
magistrates in ten of his counties
asking their cooperation, and
many of them have replied favora-
bly,.
These demonstration farms
hava been conducted in some sec
tons of the south during the last
few years, and the reports which
have been received by the depart
ment of agriculture indicate the
great amount of good which has
resulted. The work was begun
in small way in West Tennessee
Two years ago, and in 1912 a few
agents were added in Middle Ten
aessee. To show the value of
the work, the results obtained in
the cultivation OF corn are here
with submitted:
Results of demonstrations work
in Tennessee in 1912:
Total number Of demonstration
farms in corn, 218.
Total number acres in corn,

EXPLOSION OR THUNDER.
Citizens Of S~tatesvillc Investigate An
UNUSUAL Noise.

UNUSUAL Noise.
~Statesville, March 15.-There has
been much speculation In Statesville
today on a terrific explosion which
Jared the whole atmosphere last
night between Z and 8 O'Clock, and
was heard for miles around. Just
where the explosion occurred. and
what it was is the question.
1t occurred just prior to the begin
ming Of the storm which laSted
throughout the night. and there arc
some who believe it was a sudden
peal Of thunder, while others think it
was some other reak of nature as the
result Of unuSua conditions in the ele-
ments, and there are others that be-
lieve it was a local explosion, posi-
bly, dynamite. One lady suggests
that a meteor fell. Quite a number
of people in various sections say they
noticed a big flash of light at the time
Of the explosion, n others say a
great al Of fire shot across the
heavens. People in the business sec
| ton thought it was in east Statesville,
| and some of those in east Statesville
| thought the noise came from the bust
! ness section.
| A mar who came in today from a
! point twelve miles northeast Of town,
| says the noise came from beyond him
and he decided it was over toward
Winston. A policeman says he "a
a light flash in southeast Statesville
when the explosion occurred, n ne
hurried in that direction to ascertain
the u out was met by residents
who thought the noise came from
another direction. Large amounts OF
dynamite are kept on hand at the roaG
construction camps, and at the States
vile Air Line railroad camp, but re,
ports from these say they had no ex.
plOSion.

BODY FOUND WITH
HOLE IN THE HEAD

Rocky Mount. March i5.-Lying
partly in Tar river and partly on the
south bank, directly beneath the rail-
o bridge, of the Atlantic Coast
Line, a few inches across the county
line in Nash. Israel Battle, an aged
darkey, was this morning discovered
by Section Master Bachelor, who had
a force of hands at work on the
track near the bridge.
The negro was l~ifeiess when found
and a apparently been SO for sever
al hours. Whether or not the negro
met with foul play is a question to be
solved by the %coroner's jury. There IS
a small hole in the top OF his head.
which is the only evidence that he was
q victim OF foul play Or struck by r.
passing train. and the opinion Of the
majority is that he fell between the
tracks. there being a space of about
five feet between the double tracking
across the bridge.
The fact that he had money TO the
amount of about ten dollars on his
person when foundt practically kills
the story that he met with foul play,
and railroad records show that no
train passed owe the bridge within
one hour OF the time that he is sup
posed to nave met his death. He liv-
ed a few hundred yards away on the
| north side Of h bridge and had been
to Rocky Mount to attend church and
was on his return trip home. lie was
well known and a well-to-do colored
planter.

to apply for parole after serving one

W YELL, Wei. Nineteen and Not
w Bad Looking, you're having
an awful time, aren't you. you
and your desperate. dying love? How
many times have you been in love be
fore-tell me true?
And how do you know you are in
love this time2
What are you in love with-the
boys" curly hair, or his blue eyes.
or his broad shoulders, or his way of
laughing, or how he speaks-or what ?
Do you know a thing about him
really?
What kind Of fellow is he any
how-kind, generous, brave. decent
or careless, stingy. cowardly, evil Of
life?
If there was a fire in a building and
this boy OF your heart was there.
would he rush out and save himself
or would he stay behind and help
women to get out alive?
Does he give any Of the money he
earns to his mother Did you ever
know Of his helping sister out with a
new frock for one of the dances?
Does he smile when he looks at you,
or does he just smirk? There's a
whole story in Just that difference?
can work and is he the champion tan
goist Of his set, or does he take an
hour or so Off once in a while and try
to work for n living?
What Does He Say?
How is he when you introduce him
to a nice, quiet, plain little girl-girl
from the country
Does he make fun of her clothes and
laugh at her funny ways? What does
he say when you mention your mo-
Their? Does he call her the old lady"
or what? How does he seem to like
you best-at home or giggling some
where on the street with him and a
rev other young persons of his own
kim?
on, all these things don't matter at
all. do they? All you know is that
you love him madly and that you
can't eat or sleep or be happy without
him. How old are you, honey-l9-I

way about dozen different lads be-
fore you find the right one. / wouldn't

No, | wouldn't tell my secret to
anyone, I'd try to forget it all I
could.
Mother probably knows anyhow:
you may thing she doesn't, little sis
ter but she does-oh, she does.
What else keeps her awake and

with soft eyes and a smile In them?

What Love Is
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

She's sorry, that's all; as sorry as
she can be for her foolish little girl
breaking off the thornS of the rose Of
love and saying to herself that she
has found the rose-she's been all
through it. has mother, all through
the whole foolish misery.
Not the First.
That's why she doesn't say one
word
Father wasn't the only boy your
mother knew before she was married;
don't believe that, little sister.
Ten chances to one she and father
talked t all over last night when you
hung around on the porch till 10
o'clock, hoping, hoping. hoping, that
HE would come in for Just a minute.
Ten chances to one mother cried \
little herself when she saw your pitt
full little face OF disappointment.
Oh, you're not the first one nor the
last to be "madly In love" at 1s, and
you won't be the first to get over it,
either.
Little girl, Just laugh and read and
sing, and forget-that's the best way
see II II isn't.
And then some day the real love,
the love that endures and trusts and
suffers and does not complain, will
come to your happy heart.
And you won't doubt any more
you will know-and that's how 1t
should be-always.
