WORLDS LEADING
TOBACCO TOWN
wINsTON-SALEM, N. c., MANU-
FACTURES MORE TOBACCO
THAN ANY OTHER CITY.

Following are extracts from an
address delivered by Col. A. d. Watts
Collector of International Revenue
for the Fifth District of North Caro-
lima, at a smoker given by The Twin
city Club, winston-Salem, February
4th, 1916:
"Winston-Salem is supplying one
fourth of all the chewing tobacco con-
sumed in the United States, besides
exporting vast quantities to foreign
lands. This statement is taken from
the report of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue for the first quart
er of the present fiscal year and from
private advices from Washington, as
to the second quarter, which ended
December 31st, last.
,"Your city is making one-seventh
of all tobacco Notwithstanding and
smoking tobacco, cigars, cigaretts
and snuff-manufacture in the Unit
ed States. Your manufactures are
paying on an average about $4,000
a day revenue taxes to the govern
ment and the amount is increasing
from month to month. When your
government building, much the hand
soonest in the State, was completed
last July at a cost ofs250,000 your
newspapers made the statement that
the taxes paid in your city to Uncle
Sam for the first eight days of its
occupancy would pay for it. Since
September, it has taken only a frac-
ton over seven average days collec-
lions here to equal its cost. So far
this week, Mr.. Crawford has taken in
s206,42S.50. 1 predict that before
1916 shall have ended your average
weekly payments to the government
on tobacco will more than pay for
this most magnificent building, leav-
ing the collections for the other fifty
one weeks as clear profit to the gov
eminent.
"Winston-Salem is shipping on an
average each week day to all parts of
this country and to foreign lands at.
least $150,O00 of tobacco products.
"In conclusion, Winston-Salem
manufactures more tobacco, all to-
bacco products are taken into this
statement, than any other city on
earth little or big. Industrially, she
is easily first in North Carolina, popu-
lation considered, first in America
and l believe, in the world; socially,
a never failing delight to her

Cat Puts Out City Lights.

Winchester, Pa.,-The town OF
Mount Sterling was in total darkness
Saturday for several hours, and a
house cat was the cause.
Light for Winchester and Mount
Sterling is furnished by central
power plant at Lexington. When the
lights suddenly went out at Mount
Sterling a trouble crew left here,
and after several hours of diligent
search discovered the dead feline
burned to the pole and entangled in
the wires, making a cross circuit.
1t is supposed the cat was seeking
safety at the top of the pole from a
dog that had "treed" 1t.

Measuring Feed.

1t is always best to be exact in
feeding. Too much guess work" is
done on the farm. That is one reason
why some of us find farming no more
profitable.
In computing rations and feeding
the various feeds should be weighed.
1t is not always necessary to weigh
every feed, as this may take con-
siderable time. 1t is not always prac-
tical to weigh every feed, as feeding
is sometimes done after dark or be-
fore dawn. The pratical way is to
weigh a definite quantity as the
amount a measure will hold and es-
innate each feed.
A quart measure is a convenient
vessel in which to estimate grain and
other concentrated feeds. A quart of
the following common feeds weighs:
Cottonseed meal, 1.5 pounds; wheat
bran (coarse), IS pounds; wheat mid
ding, coarse (shorts), g pounds;
wheat middling, fine, IL pounds;
corn meal, 1.5 pounds; oats, IL
pounds; gluten meal, II poundss

Formalin Treatment for Seed Oats.

Formalin Treatment for Seed Oats.
Treating seed oats for smut with
the formalin solution this year will
save the farmers of Ohio more than
$500, 900, according to the farm crops
department, Ohio State University. Dat
smut is said to be very prevalent be-
cause of the adverse harvesting con-
ditions last year. The seedlike spores
of the smut pass the winter in the
grain, and when the untreated kernel
sprouts in the spring the spores begin
to grow and develop little plant
within the oat plant. The dutlike
spores given off by the little plant
near harvest time blow to the other
oat plants and infect the grain from
which next years seed must be Sc
lected. To treat oats with the for
malin solution secure formalin at a
drug store and mix a pint with 40
gallons of water. The oats may be
sacked and dipped into barrel Of
this solution until they are thoroughly
soaked or they may be piled upon the
barn floor and sprinkled with the So
luton. After the treatment they
should be covered with blankets for
four or five hours so that the for
malin will not evaporate too quickly.

tiers, known as landschafts. The
landschaft shall be composed of all
farm owners within designated dis
trict who shall desire to secure loans
on security of their farms. No one
may join except those who wish loans
and the membership ceases when the
loan is paid.
The landschaft may issue deben-
tues and exchange them for annuity
contracts, secured by mortgages exc
cuted by members in its favor on
farms within the territory in consid-
Grafton of loans made by them. The
funds consist of a sinking fund ere
ated by repayment of borrowers and
used for redeeming debentures and
reserve accumulated from entrance
fees, fines, or a portion of profits
maintained only at size sufficient to
guard against contingencies. The
value of the land is based upon its
earning power.
The second bill SENATE Bill 395D
referred to seeks to amend Section
513S of United States Revised Stat
utes, national bank act Of June 8,
1864, and amended by act of March
IA, 1900. Briefly it may be stated
that this law permits the organiza-
ton of national rural cooperative
banking associations with a capital
of not less than $500 by resident
farmers; the area for these banks to
be defined being not less than five nor
more than so square miles; not less
than 10 members, all engaged in farm
ing as their principal occupation.
Each member to take one share Of
nontransferable capital; each share
at par value of $40; each member to
pay 81 entrance fee. The rural bank
ing association may accept deposits,
make loans, carrying such rate as
members decide. Capital shall be in
vested in U. s. bonds with the treas
ury for circulating privilege.
