Tar Heels Should Have Credit.

Commissioner of Agriculture W. A.
Graham says that Washington dis
patches were inclined to give too
much credit to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in the recent
advancement of North Carolina in
the matter of the farmers growing
their supplies at home. He says that
for a decade the State Department of
Agriculture has been preaching this
thing to the farmers and that it has
only been during the past two years
the Federal Government has been CO.
operating with the state in this work.

report on the North Carolina naval

taken on their last annual cruise, that
the showing actually made by the

BEGIN FLY-KiLLFNG CAMPAIGN.

Uncle Sam is waging war on the
deadly house fly and in late bulletin
prepared by the Department Of Agri-
culture, valuable information is given
on the best means of combating this
pest. The most effective way of ex-
terminating the fly, according to the
bulletin, is to eradicate his breeding
places. The breeding season of the fly
begins early in March and continues
throughout the spring and summer
months. All dirt should be removed
from the premises, stables cleaned and
decaying vegetables destroyed.
The fly has rightly been called the
undertaker's travelling salesman, and
in addition to his regular line Of
typhoid bugs" he carries side line
of tuberculosis, Asiatic cholera and
other disease germs. Now is the time
to swat the fly"

SHOULD BE PAID TO
RAISING OF GOOD CALVES.

All farmers who expect to make
success of the dairy business should
improve their herds by breeding and
selection, and this is best accomplished
by raising the calves. We have in
Louisiana a great many dairy farmers
who are neglecting this simply because
they are able to sell every drop Of the
milk at twenty cents a gallon. This Is
a mistake in most cases. Unless at
tention is given to the raising of good
calves the production of the herd will
never be increased; and unless the
production is raised the profits will
diminish.
The Kansas Experiment Station found
that calves reared on skim-milk and
grain not only made a higher net gain,
but, also, at a much cheaper figure
than when fed on whole milk.
There are many localities in Louisi-
ana that could proftably separate milk
and make butter on the farm. 1t is
possible to produce very good quality
of butter at comparatively low cost,
and the buttermilk and skim-milk can
be used to advantage. M. Cadwal-
lader, Dairy Department, Louisiana

WAR ON ENGLISH SPARROW.

War is declared on the English
sparrow by the Conservation Commits
sion. An appeal is made to the resi-
dents of the state to help clear this
pest from their yards il they want
native song birds to nest in the i'm
mediate vicinity of their homes and if
they want to protect the tender vege-
tables in their kitchen gardens.
In the United States the English
sparrow is national sorrow, declares
the commission. and in New Orleans
and the other cities and towns in
Louisiana is multiplying to such an ex-
tent that the pest is almost too great
to be endured.
The commission finds no good reason
why the English sparrow should exist
in this state, and says that If it were
out of the way our native insect-eaters,
of song and beauty, would return to
our lawns and gardens. The commits
sion believes that if every resident of
the state will join in the English
sparrow war it has Just declared, tell
ing results will be gained within the
coming year.
The commission advises that the birds
be killed and their nests destroyed. !,

RAILROAD FARE FOR CHILDREN.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion asserts that it is unlawful for the
roads to carry children over 5 years of
age, except upon payment of half fare
and that all children over IL must pay
full fare. Conductors are now required
to insist upon the collection of proper.
fare and if their parents or guardians
still insist that the statement concern
ing the age is correct, the conductors,
under a new regulation, must ask the
parents to sign a blank which is in the
nature of an affidavit and which places
them upon record in respect to the
childrens ages. 1t is believed that
many parents, rather than commit
themselves to perjury, will pay the
proper fare. In any event the road is
protected and, in case Of a spotter who
was placed in service by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to check up the
conductors in this direction, both the
conductor and the company are pro-
tected should charge of violating the
law be fled.
