ing to Mr.. C. r. Hudson. who through
the medium of the County Agricultur-

one crop any one year. After the
time and labor has been given this
crop, it may bring good price and re-
pay all effort, but it may not bring
good price and then all is not well.

Raleigh.

According to plans of the War De.
partment efforts will be made during
the next sixty days to commission for
ty or fifty reserve officers in each
Of the Congressional Districts of North
Carolina as well as other states of
the Union.
Captain Broadhurst, of A. and M.
College, is particularly interested in
reserve officers for North Carolina
and calls attention to the slight de-
gree of interest being shown in re-
gard to such commissions.
While military training is desired,
he points out, it is not essential. The
War Department wants sober, reliable
men, Of sound educational qualif1ca-
tons, good character, and leadership,
who will have the respect Of officers
and enlisted men. The training may
be secured later. The great need is
for men of calibre to be officers who
will be willing to serve in case of
emergency.

Of Southern States III this practice,
still, it is estimated that our bill is
around fifty to sixty million per
year. This seems unreasonable yet
it is very true and true in a section
Of country that has fertile soil, as
fine a climate and as intelligent set
of farmers as may be found anywhere
under the sun.
Cotton brought a good price last
year. but it is wondered how much
food the money from a bale of cot
ton would buy, now, with all kinds
of foodstuffs higher than ever before
in the history of the country. The
food and feed situation is abnormal
now in the United States and the
wise farmer is he who produces food
and feed at home this year. He may
get a good price for both tobacco and
cotton, but the money received will
not go very far in purchasing those
necessities of life which could easily
be produced at home.
Mr.. Hudson is having the County
Agents of the Agricultural Extension
Service encourage all farmers to
plant gardens, spring oats and Irish
potatoes also need Immediate atten.
ton. A few acres planted now to
Appler or Burt Oats will help out very
much in the feeding Of stock The
Irish potato crop was short last year
and a good crop should be planted, at
once, to this important and valuable
food crop.

Commission to Distribute Funds.

Attorney General James S. Manning
has ruled that the building commits
sion, appointed by Governor Beckett
to have charge OF the expenditure of
the permanent improvement funds
available from 100000 bonds to be
issued under the authority Of the Gen
eral Assembly, is responsible for the
distribution OF the yearly issues to
the various purposes included in the
bill
This settles the question raised as
to the manner of distribution. The
commission, according to the Attorney
General, should be governed in their
distribution of the funds by. the i'm
perativeness of the needs of the in
dividua1 cases and the amount speci-
fed for the various purposes.
Accordingly, it might be assumed
that the $4,000 appropriated for the
construction of a state storage house
might be available at once, as all the
funds for this purpose are necessary
for the purchase of site and the
construction of a building. Similarly.
100000 appropriated for the use of
the State Department of Education,
TO be expended under the direction of
the State Board of Education, could
not be available in it's entirety at once
for the simple reason that it would
exhaust the entire annual issue.

Progressive Farm LIFE School.

Mr.. T. E. Browne, supervisor of ag-
ricultural education for the state, upon
a visit to the farm-life school at Cary
found the general condition of the
school very satisfactory. The boys
in the agricultural class are busy with
the construction of a. modern poultry
house for the flock of pure-bred Wyan-
dott chickens just purchased.
One of the attractive features OF
the farm is the home orchard. Mr..
Howard. the agricultural teacher, has
an orchard which should be valuable
demonstration for the community. He
has a carefully selected variety OF
peach, pear, apple, plum, cherry and
necan trees as we'll as grape vines
and berries These trees and vines
are carefully pruned by members OF
his agricultural class. He has quite
a number of different varieties or
.c1overs and small grain crops grow
ing on plots for demonstration work
with his classes The boys are very
much interested in this outside work.
