MUCH INTEREST IN
FARMING OUTLOOK
Economic Prospects Attract
Many Growers to Meet
ings Over State

College Station, Raleigh, March 2
A remarkable interest in meetings to
discuss the economic outlook for
farming and to make plans Tor DELL
mite farm progress in future years,
featured the work of county farm
agents in North Carolina during the
month of January, according to a
summary prepared last week under
the direction of John w. Goodman, as
sistant director of extension at State
College.
Mr.. Goodman says the farm agents
held 238 meetings for discussion
groups at which 1914 farmers were
present, and that PIG meetings of diff
ferent county organizations were at
tended by 3,277 farmers. There also
were 149 farm planning groups or
ganized during the month.
In addition to these definite activi-
ties by adult farmers, so All clubs
were either organized or re-organiz-
ed and 405 meetings of All clubs
were held with 13,4O0 members at
tending.
II think it little short of remark
able that so many adults and club

plans and to discuss the agricultural
situation during a time of snow and
general bad weather." Goodman said.
ut shows that our people are con-
cerned about the future of farming
and wish to become thoroughly in
formed"
The assistant director says that in
spite of the many meetings held,
county agents and extension specia-
lists did not permit their project work
to lapse. The forestry, dairying and
poultry projects were pushed with
special emphasis and. much coopera-
tive marketing work was done. APP
proximately $4,000 worth of surplus
poultry was sold and about $4,000
worth of other farm produce. This
does not include the home demon
stration curb market sales conducted
by home agents.
Mr.. Goodman says 90 meetings were
held to study the different extension
projects now under way in the State
and that SIP other meetings in re-
lation to the projects were attended
by 26,285 farmers during the month.

Keep Good Brakes

Rely on your brakes instead Of
your horn.
Often the motorist sees that adj
vice on neat little sign on the
rear of a truck ahead.
It's good sign and excellent ad-
vice. For one thing, if you comply
with this suggestion you will elm
mate a great deal of senseless,
nerve-damaging noise. That sign
was conspicuously posted in the
recent Noise Abatement campaign
sponsored in New York CITY by
Mayor LaGuardia.
But the principal reason for fol-
lowing it, of course, is the fact that
blowing horn won't stop an auto.
mobile. And frequently nothins
else will avert an accident.
For that reason it. is most i'm
portant that brakes be kept i'm ex-
cellent condition. Brakes were de-
signed to stop automobiles, mot
merely slow them. Some time it
will be necessary to stop and stop
lnstantly-and when that time
comes. as it comes to every motor
list sooner or later, a defective brake
will not be enough.
Many lives are saved because of
brakes and many are lost because
OF brakes. Keep your brakes in

OTHERS VIEWS
SOME GOOD ADVICE BUT

SOME GOOD ADVICE BUT
To the Editor:
l am writing this message hoping
that it will he taken in the spirit that
it is given. Since there seems to be
no way that there can be enacted laws
to help.
1t is up to you farmers, landlords
and tenants. A large crop means low
prices below the cost of production, if
ever the time was ripe for the land
lord to demand tenants and landlords
to make his supplies and not neg
lect subsistence crops. urge you to
raise hogs, poultry and vegetables and
feed, for home consumption. This
must be good advice for it bass TODD
the test of time, it has been given
again and again over a period of fifty
years at least. But heretofore, it has
made no noticeable impression on the
tobacco grower and there seems to be
no more likelihood that they will fol-
low it now.
1t is all very we'll to assure ourself
over and over that the flowers that
bloom in the Spring, ira, la, have
nothing to do with the case, the fact
remains that they do, a larger crop Of
tCicacco will be a set back to tenant
and landlord alike, and it will be to
late to deplore the fact after the milk
has all run out of the bottle. So look
into the past and you will see that
the increase in crops caused a lower
ing of prices, to meet this lower price
a larger crop was made, the price was
still lower, until your hard earning
was gone. This is a crude picture but
never the less is true. So beware of a
repetition, be prudent and wise. Urge
your neighbor, your friend, your far
mer friends not to overdo a thing that
will hinder your prosperity. A five
hundred million crop means division
of profits to all concerned. I think the
highest compliment that can be paid
to mortal man, is to say of him, he IS
a farmer and mother earth is the
source of his wealth, the only pro-
Queer of a new dollar without any
patent right. Urge your Governor, to
call the Legislature back to Raleigh.
He can help and keep North Carolina
in the prosperous column, and have
but little trouble in collecting revenue
enough to meet demands.

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY


20 Yeads Ago Today-What Lord
Fisher had envisaged in 1913 had
come to pass. Late in that year he
had sent memorandum to the Brit
ish Admiralty on the probable use by
the Germans of submarines against
commerce, and declared that they GER
tainly would not hesitate to sink
merchant vessels which they could
not bring into port as required by the
laws of war;"
After Fisher another Englishman in
high place had foreseen the same pos
sibility. Sir Percy Scott, English au-
thority on international law, wrote to
the London Times on July 16, 1914,
declaring submarine warfare to be
expected and perfectly in order"
And now the German unlimited"
submarine campaign against Eng
land had begun. Fisher could not
resist Growing in triumph over his
foresight. He addressed a letter to
Won Tirpitz, German sea lord. declar-
ing: II don't blame you for the sub
marine business. I'd have done the
same myself, on1y our idiots in Eng
land wouldn't believe it when I told
them"

GOOD condition. Keep them prop
>rly adjusted, so that when they
are applied they will take hold
evenly on all four wheels. An au-
tomobile whose brakes are not ad-
justed evenly may cause an acci-
dent. Brakes should be inspected
at frequent intervals, particularly
hydraulic brakes, whose fluid
should never be allowed to get
low. Mechanical brakes should also
re examined regularly and refined
before the lining becomes so thin
that it is ineffective.
Rely on your brakes instead of
your horn.
