The new , demonstration agent,
Henry L). Green, who, has just entered!
upon his work, is a hard worker
and has gone whole-heartedly at his
task. Mr. Green i# planning a demonstration
trip. lu a number of the
farms of the county on Tuesday, September
10, to show farmers what
some other farmers have accomplished
in the way of diversification. He
has ma<ie a life study of his work
and is trying to inculcate into the
small farmer a need of making his
farm self-sustaining in the way of
year round gardens, cowfty hogs and
poultry. He cannot do it all by himself
and everyone can help him by
lending him encouragement in his
work. He is a stranger to most of
our people, but he is a good mi*ef\
a man of pleasing personality and
can do a vast amount of good among
the ugridnltural element if they do
not turn a deaf ear to his advice.
GOING TO COLLEGE?
Within the next three or four weeks
scores of York county boys ami girls
will be off to the various colleges.
We are glad they are going. We
wish every one of them well.
But, boys and girls, as you go off
to college, we would have you rememl>?r
several things, and if you do remember
these suggestions perhaps
in the years to come you will be glad.
When you go to college, just remember
that your success as a student,
depends entirely on yourself.
You will lx> just one of hundreds of
others, all having the same opportunities,
ami whether you make/ good
in college work will depend entirely
on your own efforts. Mother and
father won't be there to help you
out. They'll be back home wondering
how you are getting along.
In many cases they will also be
back home, figuratively sweating
blood to keep you in college. Not so
very many York county people 'have^
so much of wealth and money that
they send their children to college
without making Very decided
suvcriflces? sacrifices that represent
discomfort and very often their very
heart's blood, and when you are at
college and .appreciate that fact perhaps
it will help yon to keep in mind
that you owe it to those .parents to d >
your very levelest best to make your
sphool work of a kind that will be
creditable, not only to yourself, but
tp father and mother as well.
Be careful of your expenditures,
father and mother most likely are
having to be especially economical
and saving to keep you in school.
Can you do any less than that and
keep your self-respect while vpu are
in college? If you are a spendthrift
while in school no one will think any
more of you for that. More than
likely it will build up a reputation
for you of being just a plain fool---an
easy mark furnishing the "good
times" for fools just like you.
When you are in college, work.
That's all that will ever get you anywhere.
Your social position back
home will not help you, and it
shouldn't. The way you live and act
and work will reflect credit or something
else on the father ami mother
back home who are sacrificing much
to give you an education. It is up to
you to prove whether or not that sacrificing
is worthwhile.?Yorkville Enquirer.

B. I. Brogdon, of Wake County, N.
C., report* *!*? of $1,780 worth of
milk, butter, egg*, meat *r?d other
product* last year from a herd of
four milk cow*, a flock of 166 hena,',
and a few hog*.
l**t year the six cows owned and
cared for by Mr*. Joe Wolf, who live*
near Snyder, Texan, produced 2,239
pound* of ' butter, which sold for
$993.41, Mrs. Wolfe also sold $104.30
worth of cream, kept plenty of milk
and butter for family use, end supplied
two tenant families six months

fed to her chickens and five brood

In 1918, J. W. Cox, of Johnston, S.
took over an old run-down, %ornout
farm. He tried several things,
but the land was too poor to grow
anything economically. His first step
in improvement was through reclamation
dams, terraces and ditches?
to keep whut was left of the soil from
washing away.
Mr. Cox then planted legumes to
restore fertility ami vitality to the
starved soil. His next step was livestock,
duiry cows, hogs, sheep, chickens,
turkeys and geese. Today he has
land that makes excellent yields and
feeds livestock th*J give good profits.
He has come through soil building to
profitable cow-hog-hen farming.
Ten years ago at the age of 13, H.
A. Knight, Jr., of St. Francis County,
Ark., swapped a saddle pony for a
Jersey cow and began selling milk to
the neighbors. He has gradually increase^sthe
number of cows, until his
herd now number 30 milking cows
and 25 calves and heifers. His cows
have marie for him $10,000 and his
sales of milk average $1,000 per
month. After deducting all costs of
feed, labor, interest, etc., Mr. Knight
is netting for his own work an average
of $250 per month.?Monroe Kn,

ROAD COUETKHIB8
You c*n size up a man on the highway.
If ho i? a gentleman he acta
like it there, if he is not, one aooa
Jtnds it out if he is driving a car.
The fellow who is always claiming
more than his share of the road privileges
and then bawling out the other
fellow when he gets a little croieded
is the moat common type of road hog.'
Then there is the fellow who alwaye
takes a chance. If rounding a sharp
curve he crowds over onto the inside,
regardless of whether it is his side
or not, If somebody approaches he
! wants to know why he didn't sound
his horn. If a pedestrian gets in his
way on a city crossing he yells out
I that they should be watching where
they go, just as if the one on foot
did not have as much or even more
ri^ht on the crossing than he did. But
most people on the road are gentlemen
and ladies. These egotists who
assume that everything should give
way to them are the exception. A
great majority of Americans go traveling
and they learn to be careful and
tolerant as a rule. Hut you still see
them in Monroe and elsewhere who
have nruch to learn yet.?Monroe Bni

There is a "I>euth Chamber" in the
FLY-TOX factory. This chamber is
about the room ri/.e. It is used to
test the quality of FLY-TOX as a
spray to kill flies, mosquitoes, bedbugs,
roaches, etc. During a test a
large number of young, healthy insects
are placed inside the cabinet.
These insects are raised in incubators
for testing purposes. While the
insects are Hying and crawling around
in the "Chamber of Death," FLYTOX
is sprayed inside. Less than a
teaspoonful is used. Instantly there
is a change. Within five minutes not
a buzz is heard. All insects are dead.
To make sure they are really dead,
the insects are carefully removed
from the "Chamber of Death" and
placed in incubators in an effort to
revive them. If a wing flutters, the
FLY-TOX tested never leaves the
factory. This test is your guarantee
of FLY-TOX quality. It does what
you want it to do?kill insects in and
about your home. Yet, FLY-TOX is
positively harmless to people. FLYTOX
was developed at Mellon Institute
of Industrial Research by Rex

Ilic Textile Worker's Wsfe.
j
(Editorial in Charlmten News and
Courier, August 22, 1229.)
* i "
, Quoted widely by the critics of
Southern cotton mills is the statement
that the average wage of an
adult worker is $12.83 a week.
In one mill in South Carolina the
whole number of employees is approximately
760, and the Weekly payroll
is $7,600. By dividing the sum of
money by the number of workers the
average pay of each worker is found
to be $10.
J.ow as the figure $12.83 is, it ia
much larger than $10?the difference
in a month would be $11.32.
These are not all the facta. Of the
760 operatives, about 460 are alltime
workers. An inspection of the
payroll shows that their wages are
between $10 and $17 a week.
It would be possible for the 460
to operate all the machines, and in
that case their earnings would lw
larger.
Part-time employment is given the
remaining 300. Some of them earn
' perhaps not more than $3 a week. A
girl, for example, wishing to earn u
little pocket money, works an hour or
two for three or four afternoons?but
her name is on the payroll,
If the average pay ($12.83) found
and reported by a government bureau
is ascertained by dividing the
whole sum distributed by Southern
mills in a week by the whole number
of names on the payrolls, what does it
prove and what is its value as an argument
of the agitators?
The average pay in a mill may be,
it is in the mill mentioned, $10 a
week, but the regulars who work
fifty-live hours a week earn more
than $10.
It is always difficult to get the
truth out of a figure or set of figures
that stand alone. Facts usually are
related to them, and modify them. A
statement that a horse is sixteen feet
high may he true, but until it is explained
that a wooden horse is referred
to no one will believe it.
The bald statement that the average
operative's wage in a Southern
cotton mill is $12.83 a week deserves
a similar consideration.
