A SUCCESSFUL FARMERS
MEETING At RALEIGH
Many ATTEND Convention at Raleigh
County Exhibits at State Fair.
Raleigh News.
fsnecial to The Hustler.l

Raleigh. N. c., Sept. 6.-There has
never been a more enthusiastic n
successful meeting of farmers in this
State than that which has just been
held at the A. & NJ. College here-tne
14th annual convention, with nearly
a thousand delegates attending.
Never were the farm women SO mucn
in evidence as on this occasion, n
the speakers, both men and women,
comprised a galaxy Of celebrities more
brilliant than ever before. The farm
women's convention was particularly
successful and inspiring, and every
woman who attended the meeting is
better equipped than she was a week.
previously, and the fact will prove
valuable to every farm which these
women adorn with their fine practlcaF
sense; and management of the depart-
ments. Of endeavor which come within
their Jurisdiction.
These conventions, following on the
heels of the big showing made by the
corn club and pig club (etc.) boys,
proclaim unprecedented activity for
more knowledge and additional
equipment among that great body of
Tarheels who constitute SO per cent
of the population of North Carolina.
Farming is progressing, everything
the farmer grows is in greater demand
at higher prices than in a generation,
and there are still better times" for,
the skilled farmer in the future than
ever before.
County Exhibits at State Fair.
One of the good results likely to
follow along this line of activity
among the farmers is an appreciable
increase in the number of counties
making county exhibits" at the Stale
Fair-one Of the best methods of at
tracing desirable newcomers to such
counties to aid in building up the
communities.
Secretary J. E. POgue appeared be-
fore the farm demonstrators at the
A. & M. college meeting by request
and explained the preparations which
the State Fair management is max
ing for the various county exhibits
next October. The farm demonstra-
tors manifested much interest and en-
thusiasm in the plan, n it is under
stood that a good beginning has al
ready been made by a number Of pro-
pressive counties. Secretary Pogue
hopes to have scores of county eX-
hibits at the State Fair, now only a
few weeks off. No county could find
a more profitable scheme of advertis-
ing it's products and advantages to so
many people, and it ought to readily
appeal to the good judgment of those
charged with that duty. What helps
the individual counties helps the whole

1.-THE Boys OF Old Elkton"

Tune: THE Old Oaken Bucket"
How dear to my heart are the boys of
old Elkton,
When fond recollections present
them to view
Around the Howard House" corner
and old Court House" wall
And every loved spot which their
boyhood days knew.
The long weary days and the nights
they'll encounter
And rough, warlike men will their
Vlgor renew
But the boys of Old Eklton will fight
for their country,
And uphold their flag the red, white
and blue.
AS they watch meath the stars on the
Mexican border,
They think of the loved ones they
left far behind,
But duty comes first in protecting
their country
The brave boys of Elkton will al
ways be found.
The shot and the shells they are flying
around them,
But the Maryland boys there at
their post firm to stand,
And after the skirmish ard victory
they shouted:
Hurrah for the boys who protected
our land.
The Captain and Major who stood in
the foreground,
Awaiting commands from the Gen
erals broad mind
When the order was given the boys
they pushed forward.
Advanced to the border in firm,
steady lines.
With eye on the foe and gun on the
shoulder
Fresh courage they take in their
heart and their mind;
Soon the long weary days and the
nights will be over,
And back they will come to their
Dear Old Home Town"

which their own policy invited. They
have taught US to put safety first,
safety before duty and honor; to put
that materialism which expresses it
self in mere money making and in the
fatted ease of life above all spiritual
things, above all the RICH and fine in
US to accept adroit elocution as sub
stitute for straightforward and eff
cient action. They have raised indie
cision, hesitancy. and vacillation into
a settled governmental policy.
"Mr. Hughes has shown in his car
eer the instinct of efficiency which will
guarantee that, under him. the Gov
eminent will once more work with
vigor and force. He possesses that
habit of straightforward thinking
which means that his words will be
correlated with his deeds and trans
lated into facts. His past career is
the warrant for cur belief that he
will be the unfaltering opponent of
list system of invisible government
which finds expression in the domi-
nation of the party boss and the party
machine. His past career is a guar
anty that whatever he says before
election will be made good by his acts
after election. Morally, his public
record shows him to be man of un-
bending integrity; intellectually, it
shows him to be a man of original and
trained ability. We have the alterna-
tive of continuing in Office an admin
istration which has proved a lament
able failure or of putting into office an
administration which we have every
reason to believe will function with
efficiency for the interest and honor Of
all our people. l earnestly bespeak
from ny fellow Progressives their
ungrudgihg support of Mr.. Hughes"

he again weighs and samples the milk
OF each COW. When the morning milk
ing is finished he tests the samples of
milk from each COW for butter fat,
according to the Babcock method.
While at the farm the tester weighs
the feed consumed by each COW and
estimates the cost. He also deter
mines the value of the milk or fat
From these results he calculates the
difference between the cost of feed and
the value of the milk, produced by
each cow for the month. He also fig
ures out the feed cost of producing
100 pounds of milk and the feed cost
of producing one pound of butter fat.
He leaves a duplicate copy with the
farmer and proceeds to the next farm
returning the next month.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1916

Democratic Senators and Congress
men are delivering speeches these
days telling of the wonderful pros
perity we are now enjoying. If any
of our Democratic friends want the
real facts, We advise them to sit down
and write to their party representa-
tives in Congress and ask for sta
tistics showing prosperity before the
European war began. If your Sena-
tor or Congressman wants you to be-
lieve that the Democratic party is
entitled to credit for whatever pros
perity you are enjoying, let him pro
duce the evidence that such prosperity
existed before the war. If he can't
do that, he must admit that revival of
business was due to the war, and that
the party is not entitled to any credit
whatever.

"Mr. Wilson has been tried and
found wanting. His party. because of

State rights, and because of its reli-
ance upon purely sectional support,

tial if We are to deal adequately with
our gravest social and industrial prob
lens. Mr.. Wilson and his party have
III actual practice lamentably failed to
safeguard the interest and honor of
the United States. They have brought
US to impotence abroad and to division
and weakness at home. They have
accustomed us to see the highest and
most responsible offices of Govern
ment filed by incompetent men APP
pointed Only for reasons of partisan
politics. They have dulled the moral
sense of the people. They have taught
us that peace, the peace Of cowardice
and dishonor and Indifference to the
welfare of others. is to be put above
righteousness, above the stern and un.
f1inching performance of duty. whe.
ther the duty is pleasant or unpleas-

Drainage Test

G. +, Marsh, County Agent, reports
that anyone interested in the sub
ject of tile draining should pay visit
to the farm of Mr.. Howard Jackson
near Theodore. On the lower part of
one of the fields there was a low place
that only in the very dryest years
would produce a paying crop, but in
an average year would not yield as
much as the seed sown.
Mr.. Jackson decided that he would

not have this land loafing any longer,
so this spring dug an outlet through

drain and now the best corn is grow
ing on what was almost worthless
land. In fact the line of tile can be

of strong. vigorous corn.

A Washington correspondent dis
cussing the Presidents chances in the
election, thinks it is almost certain
that he will poll not only a larger
vote than he did in 1912, but a lar
ger vote than has any Of the Demo
cratic candidates before him." He
will have to. let US add, if he is to be
elected In 1912 Wilson received
6,293,O19 votes, the combined vote
against him was S,743,523, of which
the combined Taft and Roosevelt vote
was 1904, 463. Wilson received fewer
votes in 1912 than any Democratic
candidate for the Presidency in 20
years-save only Alton B. Parker,
who enjoyed in 1904 the support of
Mr.. Bryan-which Wilson is to have
this year and which succeeded in net
ting to Parker only 5,077,911 votes.
Bryan three times got more votes than
Wilson did, while united Republican
ism three times showed Mr.. Bryan
under. United Republicanism will do
The same for Mr.. Wilson.

eve must not let the voters OF the
country overlook the fact that had the
rates of duty provided by the Repub-
tan tariff law been in effect during
the past two years, on the imports
received into this country during that
period, the revenues would have been
sufficient to meet all of the running
expenses of the government. not
withstanding Democratic eXtrava-
gances, and there would have still
been balance left in the treasury"
Thus spoke a Pennsylvania Republi-
can Representative. 1T shows the
difference between the policies of the
two parties. The Republican party
in times of profound peace has never
found it necessary to levy direct taxes
on the people. 1t has always been
able to meet ordinary as well as eX-
traordinary expenses by indirect taxa
ton, which has largely been paid by
the foreigner. With a depleted trea-
sury and no Improvement in sight the
Democratic party is face to face with
additional problms of taxation, most
of which must fall directly on the
backs of the people. If the Republi-
can party were in power today, with
a protective tariff. there would be no
necessity for this. neither would there
be war tax and many other bur
dens"

The Hon. James R. Mann caused
much amusement among the members
Of Congress and throughout the CAPT
tol by the neat manner in which he
tripped the Hon. Champ Clark, of
Missouri, Speaker Of the House. As
soon as Justice Hughes was nominat-
ed. Champ rushed into print with a
signed article, in which he criticised
the Republican party for "raiding
the courts" for a candidate. Mann
took occasion to point out the fact
that Clark was the presiding officer of
the Democratic Convention that nomi-
mated Judge Alton B. Parker of New
York, in 1904. and also Chairman of
the committee on notification. Champ
with great earnestness at that time
pointed out the fact that Judge Par
ker was a great jur;st and that his
official duties along this line admir-
ably fitted him for the responsible
duties of President Republican lead
er Mann 50 cleverly turned the tables
on the Speaker that even the latter
had to smile when it was done
