IN a generation when CONNER
L cial and political success were
the goals Of most men, Robert
Edwin Peary devoted himself to
the hazardous life Of extending
mans knowledge of the world in
which he lives. His discovery of
the North Pole marked the apex
of his career of exploration. It
was touched, unfortunately, by
bitterness because of the alleged
earlier discovery Of the Pole by
DR.. Cook.
Peary was born on May 6,
1856, at Cresson, Pa, but spent
most of his youth near Portland,
Maine. Even as a boy he showed
the persistence in reaching the
top which ultimately, after twen-
ty-fve years of hardship, brought
him literally to the top Of the
world.
He was educated at the local
public schools and at Bowdoin
College, where he took an engi-
neering course. After graduation
he entered the Navy, joining the
corps of civil engineers. It was
while serving in this corps that
he came across an article des-
cribing the inland ice of Green
land. He developed the theory
that this ice cap might make an
accessible route to the North
Pole. Finally, in 1886, he per-
suaded Navy officials to grant
him a leave Of absence to explore

Agricultural leaders are count
ing on All club boys and girls to
give the rural identification pro-
gram a healthy impetus in North
Carolina.
Club members may start pro-
jects by which they can promote
the cause of rural identification,
with prizes to be awarded those
who do the best work, said L. R.
Harrill, All club leader at State
College.
In the projects, the boys and
girls will draw plans Of their homes
and other farm buildings, desi-
gnating the equipment that should
be used to electrify the farmsteads
satisfactorily and economically.
Where power lines are within a
reasonable distance, they will pre-
pare maps showing the lines in re-
lation to their homes together
with the location of other farm:
and buildings between their home:
and the power lines.

On almost every farm is a
wealth of material which may be
turned into a source of profit by
country women who like to make
things with their hands.
There are so many ways Of
earning extra money that every
woman can find something to
suit her taste, said Mrs. Cornelia
c. Morris, extension economist in
food conservation and marketing at
State College.
She told of an ingenious girl in
Rutherford county who uses rye
straw to make table mats, hot dish
mats, and fans. Hooked rugs and
braided rugs sell we'll if the colors
are pleasing.
There is an increasing demand
for handicraft articles, Mrs. Morris
stated: good baskets and brooms
of native material, buttons and
buckles made Of maple and ap-
plewood. Buttons made of nuts
are lovely accessories for sweaters
and knitted suits.
Honeysuckle and oak splits make
beautiful baskets. People like to

Morris pointed out.
There is a growing demand fol
the old handicrafts of the colonial
days. Wool, cotton, and flax may
be woven into exquisite coverlets,
wall h~angings, and rugs.
In the Smithonian institute in
Washington is a collection of hand
woven bags, towels, and table lin
ems made by a rural North Carolina
woman, Mrs. Finley Mast, of Vale
Crucis, who died several months
ago.
The woman who likes to cook
can begin now to make straw
berry jam for sale, Mrs. Morri:
continued. Later she can make
blackberry and peach jam, tomato
ketchup, and Chill sauce.
Motorists like to stop at road
side markets for fresh eggs, fruits,
vegetables, flowers, fruit juices,
butter, and the like. These mar
kets are becoming more popular
over the country every year.

the region. From that time on,
until he achieved his goal, he had
but one purpose-to conquer the
Arctic wastes and arrive at the
Pole.
Six trips were made with rig
orous hardships and deep dis
couragement. Between trips he
faced the even more difficult task
of raising money for continuing
the explorations, and securing
government permission to leave
with another expedition.
The seventh attempt was
begun in July; 1908, and was sue
cessfully completed on April 6,
1909. Peary returned from the
Pole to find that DR.. Cook had
just announced his own supposed
discovery of the Pole before
Peary. It was a bitter blow. But
before Peary's death, DR.. Cooks
claims were proved without foun-
dation, and to Peary went the
well-deserved honor of having
been the first man to reach the
top of our globe. In recognition,
he was made a Rear-Admiral.
AT his death in February, 1920,
Peary was buried in Arlington
National Cemetery. The distinc-
tive memorial shown above was
erected on his grave. Another
memorial has been projected at
his birthplace: In the thrilling
story of American exploration,
his name is forever engraved.

Country in Cash Financing

This spring, for the third con-
secutive season, the production
credit associations in the South
Atlantic States are leading the
country in number of loans, and the
North Carolina figure is the high
est of any State in the country,
according to a release from the
Farm Credit Administration to-
day.
Some 1917 North Carolina
farmers borrowed $2,S29,346 from
the production credit associations
in the State from first of the year
up to April 1. Total loans in the
third district, which includes the
Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida,
amounted to $S,954,O00, an in
crease of nearly $1,ooo,ooo, COM
pared to the first quarter of 1885.
The production credit association
at Greenville made the largest
amount of loans-$219,490-an

Question: When should | make
the first cullins for my breeding
birds?
Answer: The cockerels and pull
lets to be used as breeders should
be selected when the birds ARE
from eight to twelve weeks old.
Select only those birds that show
good health and high vitality. A
broad, deep, Nell-balanced head,
prominent, bright eyes, full breast,
and strong straight legs set squarely
beneath the body indicate health
and vigor. Watch the birds sell
ected all through the growing sea-
son and those that lack vigor or
are slow in developing should be
discarded.
Question: If a farm is located in
two counties should the owner
make application and submit a
work sheet in both counties?
Answer: No. The work sheet
and application is submitted in the
county in which is located the
headquarters of the farm. Where
the owner or operator lives is sup
posed to be the headquarters and
this will establish the county in
which the application is made.
However, where the owner or
operator does not live on the farm
and maintains no headquarters
then application is made in the
county in which the largest part
of the land is located.
Question: How close should
sweet potato plants be set to secure
best results?
Answer: Plants should be spaced
II inches apart in rows from three
to three and one-half feet apart.
This planting reduces the number
of "Jumboes' and also reduces the
losses from stem rot. Where the
crop is to be harvested for the early
market the paintings should be
made at least Is inches apart in
three foot rows. Paintings should
be made on high ridges, if possible,
as better stands are secured than
when planted in low places.

Are Damaged
When Used For Pasture

Pasturing cattle in Piedmont and
western North Carolina woodlands
is harmful to both the stock and
the trees.
Woodlands do not provide
enough grazing to keep cattle in
good condition. Young steers and
heifers do not gain weight as they
should, and cows fall off in their
milk production.
But this is only one side of the
question, said r. w. Graeber, extern
sion forester at State College. The
damage that cattle do to wooded
areas is tremendous.
They nip a bud here, browse a
sprout there, and pass on in their
search for more food. All the
while they are tramping the soil,
cutting up the leaf litter with their
hooves, and starting erosion.
Young tree seedlings are killed,
leaves pile up in hollows where
they are washed away by rains, tree
roots are exposed to injury by
tramping, soil is laid open to wind
and rain, and resoin sets in.

increase of "a per cent over the
first quarter of 1885; and the
Raleigh association was second in
amount with $216,160, up II per
cent. The Statesville production
credit association had the largest
number of loans in the State-755
and also a substantial increase in
business over last year.
The total number of loans in the
third district was 1913, almost
double that of any other district,
and the amount was second, being
exceeded slightly by the volume in
the Berkeley district which includes
California, Arizona, Utah, and
Nevada.
The New Orleans district, cover
ing Louisiana, Mississippi, and Ala
bama, was second in number with
1906 loans and third in amount
$4,000.

Gives Rules Re-

ments program regarding land te
be covered by work sheets are a.
follows, said Dean l. o. Schaub, Of
State College.
Where one or more farms ir
the same county under the same
ownership are operated in 1886
as a single farming unit by the
same operator, they will be cover.
ed by one work sheet.
If two or more farms are opedat-
ed by the same person, but are
under different ownership each
separately owned farm will b.
covered by a separate work sheet
Or if several farms are under
the same ownership, but are operat-
ed by different persons as separate
farming units, each separately oper-
ated unit will be covered by a
separate work sheet.
Where a tenant rents part of his
land on shares and a part for cash.
separate work sheets shall be used
to cover each part unless all the
'cash-rented land is used for hay,
meadow, pasture, or the like.
However, if the cash-rented land
is used entirely for hay, meadow,
pasture, or the like, and if it is
owned by the same person from
whom the land on shares is rented,
then both the cah-rented and the
share rented land may be covered
by the same work sheet.
A farm consisting of adjacent
tracts in two or more counties, but
the same ownership and oper-
ated in 1886 as a single farming
by the same operator, shall be
regarded as located in the county
in which the principal dwelling
on such farm is located.
If there is no dwelling on the
farm, it shall be considered as To-
Gated in the county in which the
major portion of the farm is locat-
ed.

A. a result, new trees do not
grow up and large trees begin to
die from a lack of moisture. Dis
eases entering through damaged
roots also take their toll. The
entire woodlot degenerates.
Graeber said he has seen many
woodlands in the Piedmont Sec
ton where erosion was much worse
than in open fields. The topsoil
in woods is very fertile, he added:
much too valuable to lose through
erosion.
If necessary to clear off a wood
lot to provide more pasture for cat
tie, he said, be sure to remove all
the wood and make good use of it.
Then plant grass before the top
soil washes away. If the land is
to remain in woods, keep cattle
out and grow good timber.
In the flatwoods section of the
coastal plain, conditions are diff
ferent, Graeber stated, and far
mers are advised to Craze their
livestock in woodlands.
