Inmates at State School at
Devils Lake Taught Story
Of Christ Child.

Devils Lake, N. D., Dec. 21.-The
Christmas spirit and Christmas cheer
m in large measure to the stu
dents of the state school, for the deaf
here. The spirit of Christmas mani-
tests itself very early in the month Of
December. In chapel every morning,
stories of the Christ child and of the,
ner that even the smallest child car
comprehend. The sign of the Christ.
in the language OF the deaf is to
touch one palm and then the other
with the middle finger Of the other
hand to show the nail holes in the
hands of Christ, and even the small
est tot knows that symbol and reveres
that for which, it stands.
The children are taught that every
year the spirit of the Savior of the
world returns at Christmas time, and
that all hearts are filled wish the love
OF others, and especially with the love
Of little children. They are taught
that q joy is doubled every time it is
shared with someone else, and how
anxious they are. to share their hap
piness, their goodies and their love.
The girls began,twea months. ago
making little gifts with their hands
for mother, and father, and their dis
play of hand work this year is very
fine. This is done at. odd, moments, of
which they have few, az they are III

In 1920, the few farmers not

got about &c per pound for their
product. Members of the Asso-
citation got 10c per pound.
Ninety per cent Of California
farmers belong to a marketing
association, and they borrowed
money at Al per cent. Aaron
Sapiro, the originator of the Cal
ifornia Marketing system, was
recently in New York and asked
his Wall Street bankers what
they could do for southern farm.
ers on cotton and tobacco as
compared with California prod.
ucts. The reply was that they
could do three times as well by
the southern products as by the
perishable and semi.perishable
products sold in California.
Membership Can't Possibly Hurt You.
Even if the association with
all its advantages should fail to
sell cotton for cost of production,
its members are not hurt, for
they have made no investment
and can quit the production OF
cotton-the only sensible thing
to do in any such event. In sign.
ing the contract, therefore, we
have NOTHING TO LOSE and
everything to gain. If such a
cooperative organization with
the control of such a worldwide
staple product of such world
necessity fails to command a
profitable price. THEN WE ARE
IRRETRIEVABLY LOST AS
FARMERS, and we shall soon
carry with us all other interests

ruin toward which we are. now
rapidly approaching govern.

long stand that permits its agri-
cultural classes to meet disaster

Negro Eats Four Dozen
Eggs To Win Five Dollars
From Moore County News.l

(FrQm Moore County News.l
/ If you don't believe Thompson
Cobb, colored, has an appetite,
ask Will Benner. He made Will
a wager of SIS that he could eat
48 scrambled eggs, and Will &C.
cepted, thinking it easy money.
He took the negro to a restaurant
and the eggs cooked and served,
and the negro went to work. The
way the eggs disappeared caused
all to wonder. When he had got
ten on the outside of the four
dozen the negro calmly offered to
wager $40 that he could eat two
more dozen, but there were no
takers in the crowd.

Mrs. Ellen Patrick.

There died in Rockingham two
weeks ago a woman of a remark,
able and varied experience. She
has seen the Lowery gang; time
and again saw the notorious out
laws. She saw the stage coach
in its liveliest days. She was
familiar with the old slave plan
tation and she lived to see the
State emerge to a high plane of
education, the automobile and
the airplane. She knew the war
of the States, and saw the pow
erty of our State, and the rise of
North Carolina to a great and
wonderful Commonwealth; out of
the ashes of the war she lived
to see her marble towers of pros
perity and wealth.
Mrs. Patrick came from an
illustrious family and she raised
a family of brilliant children.
Throughlife she suffered much,
yet withsaH of it she was a great
woman.
Her family suffered the loss of
much during the war; she came
forth faithfully facing life with
courage.
She was dear to many of us
another landmark has passed to
the other side. May she rest in
peace.

WHO ALONE can save himself

The writer gets absolutely
nothing for the extra work he is
doing in cooperation with the
organizers of this movement.
On the contrary, he is working
from 4 a. m. till late at night and
spending his, own cash in extra
expenses due to such work. A
few have been mean enough to
suggest that he gets the three
dollars membership fee for his
work in organizing. hisprompts
a feeling between pity and dis
gust.
The reason for charging a
membership fee by the State
organizers is that it costs money
to organize farmers or any other
people. The principle cost in
this case, being due to the fact
that farmers refuse to come to
meetings for information, and to
sign in groups at practically no
cost to the organizers. Your
county agent could not alone
organize this county in a year.
To do so would require visiting
about 13 men each day with only
time to say ''howdy and goodby,"
and then half of those approach
ed, would have to be revisited
one to three times before signing,
By that time, the whole situation
would have gone to a SPECTATORS
hell, and the farmers would be
like a cat at the bottom without
any claws. 1T IS NECESSARY,
THEREFORE,, to pay canvassers

Sheep Have a Place On
Tennessee Farms.

In the light of the remarkable ad-
vantages, the wonderful adapabiliay
of Tennessee to the business of sheep
raising, it is difficult to understand
why sheep are not raised in larger
numbers on farms of the state, say
livestock specialists. Sheep have
their pace on every well regulated
farm. There is scarcely county in
Tennessee in which the sheep and
lamb population has not suffered a
frightful decrease during the past de
cade.
The sheep population of the state
has decreased as per cent since 1910.
The decrease has been largest in the
Middle Tennessee counties, Lincoln
and Giles Counties suffering the
least, with a decrease of 33 per
cent, while Maury Marshall, Bedford
and Summer with heavier decrease
of approximately 66 2-3 per cent.
Williamson County has a decrease of
about 80. per cent, about the same
as Wilson County.
From the above data it looks like
this is a good time to buy sheep, say
livestock specialists. They are very
scarce but cheap. Lambs are selling
well, and wool within a year or so
will get back to paying point We
are today producing only threee and
one-half pounds of virgin wool per
capita, whereas, twelve, pounds is our
normal requirement.
During the past year we had only
28l774 mature ewes in the state.
From all records it is found that g.
! 500 head of mature ewes produced
only 86.5 Of lamb crop. The best
sheep men in Tennessee raise l25
per cent of lamb crop, while few
raise $50 per cent. Tennessee far
mers can greatly increase the num-
Der of lambs raised by more care
fully selecting ewes, by the use of a
good purebred ram and plenty of nu-
tritious feed throughout the breed
f, ing season, lambing season and dur
ing the spring.

Mr.. Rychen ran out of lime before
he finished his field and as a result
strip of about 100 feet was not
lined. This could be seen as far as
you could see the field. There was
about one half the stand on the un-

one-half as tall. This was a con

Tennessee Farm News

Some of the cows are already CIV
ing milk and the owners are realiz-
ing profit from the sale of dairy pro
ducts or have greater quantity fer
the home use. Several counties are
doing junior dairy club work, but
Williamson County leads in the num-
Der of active members. The quality
of work being done is of the very
best.
There is nothing sensational about
dairy calf club work. 1t requires a
person who has a natural love for
dairy cattle and who can look far
enough ahead to see the value in
them to make real dairyman. There
is no money to be made for about
two years when the club member be-
gins with a weaned calf.
For this reason. junior dairy clubs
have not been universally popular
like poultry and pig clubs. It will
require constant and systematic
work with the junior dairy club to
make it success. From the stand
point of the rural people of the state
who use far too little dairy products
this is the most important piece Of
work.
