DUKE IF ORLEANS
 OUT OF RUNNING Coming French Elections to Be Free From Royalists
 and Imperialists
RY Associated Press


 Paris, October 12.-The approaching elections in France will be the first since~the fall of the empire in 1870 in which the republic will not be attacked by royalists or imperialists. lmperialists have virtually disappeared from politics and the royalists have given up their de- lnand for the return of the Duke of Or kans to become King of France?
 The duke himself has asked his sup porters to refrain from a campaign against the existing order of things. Conservatives who were not royalists and strong Catholics ana had kept up the fight against the anti-clerical tendencies of the republic, have announced that they finally accept the reparation ot church and state and are merely counting upon an unprejudiced execution of the law. This has made possible the negotiations now under way for an alliance of all par ties excepting the extreme socialists in certai departments, including the Seine, which embraces Paris.
 In Paris a coalition of all parties is under consideration, including the new national socialist party made up of dissi- dents and led by Gustave Nerve, editor of La Victoire, with the object of form ing a union ticket of candidates for the Chamber of Deputies in order to defeat the socialists and give the death blow to the bolshevist agitation which has vir- tually superseded the old socialist pro- gramme of collectivism.
 The socialists have maintained thus far the decision of their convention to reject alliances with any other party and are excluding even some of the important leaders of the party who voted in favor of military credits and are not considered sufficiently advanced.

Montenegrins Fighting

By Associated Pres,

Paris, Saturday. October n.-Montene- grin forces have inflicted heavy losses on Serbian attachments in the Montenegrin instruction, which is continuing. ac cording to a statement issued by the Montenegrin ministry of foreign affairs. Montenegro, 1t is said, has again asked the great powers to ofaer the serbians out >of Montenegro. The statement con tinues:
 At Mount Jouretche, Montenegrins in flicted heavy losses on Serbian forces, and in combats near Cettinje. the Ser bians lost 50 killed, 196 wounded and many prisoners
 'Montenegrin prisoners are being mur- dered by Serb!ans in the most cruel man ner. Antoine Boyevitch, a doctor in law, and several other former students having been found on the battlefield with their eyes gouged out and their hands severed At Nigouwhe, a 10-year old boy was be- headed for having sung the Montenegrin national anthem, and two young women named Arnenivitch were outraged and then shot on the same preteXt. Aged men and women have had their eyes burned out with hot ashes by the Serbians.'

Prosperity in the south is the rule, not withstanding labor unrest in the steel centers of the north. Thrift is found .n every state south of the Mason and Dixon line. The rural districts are boom- ing and the large cities of the south were never so progressive as now.
 The hum of industry is more aetuated than t was three months ago. House building has been going forward at brisk rate Building material is more abundant, and as for the labor situation, it is in full supply.
 Birmingham's state fair was a splendid success and the phenomenal attendance shows that money is plentiful through out this section.
 There is every promise of unusual ac- tiYity during the next six ponths

distinct value to Alabama as well as the Tar Heel state:
 Earlier in the summer says Mir. Jeter, T was on a farm near Raleigh and witnessed an excellent demonstra- An in the cultivation of corn by means of tractor power Not a horse had been used in the field. The ground had been prepared, narrowed, the corn planted. and up until that time all the. cultivation had been done by means of the tractor At that time it was very dry, and the crops around looked as if they were suffering from lack of moisture; but in this field the corn was in good shape, had "a deep green color, and was growing well. 1t was almost too high for the tractor to get cover it without injuring the plants, but it bent them very little and injured only a few of the stalks. The owner stated that he had secured excellent results in saving labor and in getting the work done.
 This brings up the fact that North Carolina is passing into 2ew agricul- tural era. It means that the days or the one-horse blow, with it's wasteful re- suits in the use of labor and it's poor results in the use of the soil are num- bered. It will be a great while vet until all of our farmers begin to use tractors and all the other labor-saving tmple-
 
 ments, but beginning has been made, It has been known now for some tune that the tractor will break the land better and deeper, allowing the plant roots to penetrate more thoroughly into the SOIL and permitting the soil to hold moisture better against drouth.
 Good farming, like everything else. de- pends primarily on the. man. There more in the man than thele is in the land,' is an old saying to some extent still true The workers of the agricultural extension service have found that where they can get man to adopt a-gcod TO- tation of crops in which there is plenti- ful supply of legufnes included for taking nitrogen from the air and putting 1t 1T the soil so that the plants can use it, they have started that man on the road to pet ter farming. Most of the soils of Nortf Carolina are in poor condition, due te ] the fact that a one-crop system of farm
 ing has been followed. The soil contain
 plenty of fertility in the shape of all tn

available. For that year. the dairy pro- ducts of the state amounted to s4,422,S7o, not including skim milk and manure The Increase in dairy cattle for the year totaled 41,cOO, valued at g, 46o.OOo. Value of home dairy products, such as butter. cottage cheese and the like, marketed
 through agencies other than creameries,
 was about SS00,000.
 In 1912 there was only one creamery in
 the state, located at A. and M. college
 That year, the creamery made HOE pounds of butter and paid the farmers $442S. In 1918. there were 9 creameries in the state which made 2,94794S pounds of butter, and paid the farmers S,262,S7V The development of 1919 has been more rapid than in any previous year. and up , ward of % creameries are in active opera | tion, with several others contemplated. !

necessary plant food with the exception of nitrogen, so the scientists tell us. Le- gumes will add this nitrogen. By using lime to help the potash and phosphoric acid to become available. and also to aid the legumes and organic matter in break ing up into food for the growing crops, there is not much need of buying eX- pensive fertilizer.
 Right here is where the better inn plements come in. The sowpeas, soy beans, clover or whatever legume is planted, must be cut to pieces with the harrow andAhen plowed under so that 1t may rot thoroughly and release the food material The lime aids in this rotting process. The lime may also be put on the land more evenly If a spreader IS used. Probably some manure is needed. A good manure spreader will do the work of several men, and in addition will get the supply evenly over the ground.
 But we could go on giving increasing evidence of the need of this improved machinery The best evidence is that furnished by those farmers who have it.. The greatest drawback is that many who purchase expensive machinery allow it to deteriorate by exposure to all kinds ot weather. No good machine can be al lowed to stand in the rain, the snow anu the hot sun without some resulting can age. Sometimes a farmer buys good harvester and ruins it by neglect before it has a chance to pay him for the in vestment. This means that this farmer does not believe in improved machinery
 At the North Carolina experiment station we have found that it pays to have a good implement shed on the farm and to store the machinery under it after having been used. We have also found that it pays to look over the machinery during the winter days, or during any time when work is slack outside, Nuts should then be frightened, exposed metal painted and oiled, repairs made and ex- tra needed parts ordered. This all adds to the life of the machine in question and saves delay in the spring, when every moment counts"
