The Department of Agri.

The Department of Agri-
culture is trying to make of
poultry an industry instead of
an incident. The department. is
setting aside December 9th as
Poultry Day. and it is to be
hoped that sufficient attention
will be directed towards better
poultry as to really place the in
.dustry where it belongs.
The hen will bring about the
return she is paid and the pay
she wants is sufficient feed and
half a chance. Chickens are
5worth more than cotton; a Rich
mond county man can sell a
.c}aiclten and a dozen eggs when
cotton is in the dumps. Yes,
every day ought to be Poultry
Day and the poultry ought to
be given careful attention and
better breeding should prevail.

In all the $50 years of the his
tory of North Carolina the peo-
pie have expended for education
in schools of all grades and
kinds, public ana private, sew
eral million dollars less than the
amount of taxes paid to the
United States treasury this past
year. Get that?
The following statistics should
prove enlightening and are
cause for thought:
Last year North Carolina paid
1862 millions of dollars in Federal
taxes. In ALT the years of its history
North Carolina has paid out 100 Mil
lions for educational purposes. The
figures are taken from a recent re-
port by P. P. ClaXton, United States
Commissioner of Education.
For instance, he shows that
North Carolina has spent about
% 1-2 millions of dollars on all
state colleges in fifty years and last
year spent Is millions on tobacco
and snuff alone. The state univer-
sity is 1875 years old, but it has re-
ccivcd in all its history only about
I - millions from the state. 1t did
not receive any regular appropria-
ton for maintenance until after
1875, although it was then 81 years
old.
THE total value of all the college
plants and equipment in the state
is now valued at S14,00S,171. These
figures are taken from statements Of
proper authorities in the 81 white
colleges, junior colleges, technical
training schools, and the university.
Compared with all the North Caro-
lima colleges stands the University
of California with a plant and
equipment valued at more than IL
millions, which IS 2 million more
than the value of all the institu-
! tons in the Old North State.
The total annual working in
come of the 81 North Carolina col
leges is $2,434,646. The people of
the state spend 20 millions year to
keep their motor cars running and
less than - million to keep theil
colleges in good shape. The work
! ing income of the University Of
Michigan alone is a half million dol
lars more than the combined in
come of all the North Carolina col
leges.
! Commissioner Claxton says tina
if in a moment of enthusiastic de
votion and self-sacrifice the people
of North Carolina had agreed among
themselves to smoke two cigars in
stead of three, burn two cigarette!
instead of three, chew two chews in
stead of three, take two dips o
snuff and left the third undipped
