MAP IS VALUABLE
HELP FOR FARMER
Should Show Boundaries of
Fields and Location of
All Buildings

College Station, Raleigh, Oct. 90
A map will be a valuable aid to the
farmer in working out systematic,
budgeted farming program for 1897.
A satisfactory map for this purpose
can be made by the farmer, said DR..
G. W. Forster, agricultural economist,
of the N. G.. Agricultural Experiment
station.
It should show the approximate
boundaries of fields, location of build
ings, roads, woodland, and pasture
The acreage of each field should be
estimated as accurately as possible.
With such map, the farmer will
be in better position to work out
his production budget for the coming
year, DR.. Forster pointed out.
He should estimate the number Of
acres he considers desirable to devote
to each crop, the approximate yield
expected, and the amount of each
crop to be sold or used on the farm.
Then he should make a budget
showing the different kinds of live
stock, the number of head he wishes
to have on the farm, and the value
of livestock and livestock products he
plans to sell.
Next he needs to work out feed
budget. showing both the home grown
feed and the purchased feed that will
be required.
Then by comparing these three bud
gets, he can determine whether he is
balancing his program, and if not,
what adjustments must be made.
Maybe he will need to reduce certain
crops to produce more feed, maybe he
will have to change his livestock
plans.
In adjusting the program, the far
mer should also estimate his total ex-
pess and compare it with his total ex-
pected income. The program should
be so arranged as to yield as large
a profit as is consistent with good
farming practices.
The farmer should also study crop
outlook reports and intentions to
produce reports published by the u.
S. Department of Agriculture.

IT'S TRUE

You're wrong if you believe that
the suns rays reaching the earth are
hotter in summer than in winter
They aren't Winter is cold period
rot because the suns rays are cooler
but because there are so many fewer
hours of sunlight in winter than in
summer, and because the rays strike
the earth at a lower angle on the
average. The earth is nearer the sun
in winter, and since the air is clearer
in winter, less of the suns heat is cut
off by dust in the atmosphere.
E. H. P. Irwin, Wiseman, Alaska
says I'm wrong if I believe that Sec
rotary of State William H Seward
bought Alaska because a professor adj
vised it would be a great source of
ice and fish for the Pacific coast" He
reproves:
Alaska was bought as a blind to
cover the payment of just debt to
Russia, incurred when the Russian
grand fleet visited the U. S. as a sign
of friendship during the Civil War
That sign of friendship was direct
ed against England and was instru-
mental in preventing England from
helping the Confederate States of
America by running the blockade and
delivering badly needed supplies to
the South Documents proving this
are on file at Juneau"
And Charles E. Richmond, Butler
Pa reproves me for saying Dutch
King William III of the English was
never in Ireland
He was not only present, but he
crossed the Boyne at the head of his
troops and fought and won the battle
where his friend and military adviser
Marshal Schomberg lost his life. King
James, the Exiled British Monarch
was also present and took to his
heels when he realized his army was
facing defeat. The story is that when
the Irish heard King James had fled

New York Oct metropolitan
BARRIERS are colorful and lively breed
apart and your correspondent has
been able to examine several speci-
mems because Of shifting tonsorial al
legiances in the last year.
The first one had was a Turk. His
English was constant but for the most
part unintelligible I had to give him
up because of his taste for raw gar
lie and his tendency to leave me I'M
der red-hot towels while he went out
TO telephone.
The second was an Italian and in
the beginning [ was sure that he was
going to be the best practitioner 1 had
ever encountered. His fingers were
strong and he didn't mind putting
out elbloW-grease. After a session in
his chair my scalp glowed like a
twenty-four-tube receiving set and I
was confident I was going to be able
to hold that hairline for another cou-
pie Of years.
But after the Ethiopian war became
acute he went to pieces. Formerly one
! of the most taciturn of men, he be-
gan to talk. He RECALLED one with
atrocity stores, carving the air with
his open razor by way of emphasis.
One day the Negro bootblack became
involved with him in a controversy
SO heated that 1 felt abandoned in an
extremely hazardous no-mans land
| between them. So I went in search of
another barber.
My newest is a Spaniard. He stands
six feet and boasts enormous biceps.
He reveals that his wrist muscles be-
came SO overdeveloped that he had
to begin work evenings on the hori-
zontal bars in order to keep his ply
sique balanced. Also he is a writer.
He told me he had been at work on
tract that would pop the eyes of the
town when published. He confessed,
at my first sitting, that as a Spaniard
he felt that he ought to let the world
know the truth about Spaniards.
This was ominous. 1t occurred to
me that war was going on in Spain
| and this might portend a breakdown
| similar to the one that had Overtaken
my Italian barber.
whats subject you're writing a.
bout?" I asked feebily
Didn't you see that article in Els
! quire? That scurrilous attack on my
race? The one called Latins Are
Lousy Lovers?'"
I admitted that I had.
'Well," he beamed, I'm writing an
answer to it. Boy, am I going to make
the liar that wrote that article look
silly"
; There seemed no appropriate reply
| for thot hold NV fnnol1o
He turned on the electric clipper
adding with a sigh: Il can use the
money I'll get for my article too"
Sure, a little extra always comes
in handy" I burbled.

idle land, once cleared for crops but
now abandoned. Such land is not only
a waste in itself, but it is also a men
ace to valuable crop land at lower
levels.
AS erosion eats out huge guliies in
idle land, it spreads the infertile sub
soil over the tillable fields below
The answer to this problem is
plant trees" Graeber declared Put
trees on these abandoned, eroding
fields to hold the soil in place and
conserve moisture. At the same time,
they will be building up the soil and
producing crop of timber.
