Second Cron Potatoes.

An intelligent lady who aids her hus-
band in his farming operations, told us
few days ago that they had just finished
housing their second crop of Irish pota-
toes and that the yield was fine. We
should like to hear from others on the
same subject. The writer was perhaps
the first to call atten ton in the press to
the entire pi acticability of producing two
crops of Irish potatoes in the same year.
That was about twenty-five years ago and
based on his own test. From that time
forward the subject was constantly re-
ferred to, but men seemed slow to profit
by the advantage and only now begin to
realize from 1t. The whole tier of South
ern States, from Carolina to Texas, is
adapted to fall as we'll as spring crops of
this valuable tuber, rendering it entirely
independent of the Northern production
whenever our farmers make up their minds
to produce the home supply. And why
should they not do it? For long time
the difficulty was to get seed to plant in
the fall, but now, we believe, that obsta-
Gle has been overcome; our farmers have
learned TO preserve their potatoes better
and to save their own seed. They have
also had time to test and prove the best
varieties for the South, and they should
now begin to think of keeping at home
that immense sum OF money they have
every year been sending North for pota-
toes. If the North could make two crops
a year would they buy from the South?
They are really surprised that we buy of
them when wacould make our own sup
ply so easily, but seeing such want OF
thrift. are not surprised at the slight
times" OF which we so often complain.
The real panacea for the hard times in
the South is the home production of all
we can for home consumption.

Pea Vines and Lime.

If there is any better method of reno
waiting light sandy soil than by lining and
blowing in crops of pea vines, it is by
sowing the sO-called Indian clover OF
Florida beggar-lice ana allowing them to
tame the land. But the latter is not be-
lieved in by many, and so we recommend
the first to all who desire rapid work. 1t
needs only to be tested on bit of poor
land to make It's way to the front. The
farmer who cultivates poor land when he
could so cheaply make it rich is not chan
kering AFTER any great amount of this
worlds goods, nor is he anxious about the
''reward of labor
The pea vines furnish the material and
the lime turns it into the humus so much
needed by old worn out lands, and the
exhaustion Of which made it poor. Ma
ture supplied this from the forests at first
but years Of cultivation and drainage ex-
hausted the supply, and common sense
says to recuperate the land restore it.

BLOWING UP AN ARSENAL.
Suspected Students Expelled, but Now
Found to be Innocent.

Found to be Innocent.
The following are additional particulars
relative TO blowing up Of the arsenal
at Lexington, Va. The State arsenal,
containing over 500 pounds of mortar
powder, kept there for the use of the Vir-
ginia Military Institute, was blown to
atoms, presumably by the cadets. A
week prior TO the explosion the arsenal
was fOrcibIv entered and 100-pOund key
of powder removed. The institute au-
thOTities ordered a close inspection Of
the cadet barracks, and the missing
powder was discovered secreted IN
The lott of the building, accessible
from the room occupied by cadets Cralle,
Of Washington. d. C.; Norris, of South
Carolina: Irvine, of Virginia; knox. of
Alabama. and Van lngen, of Louisiana.
These cadets were Immediately dismissed.
Since their expulsion eYidepce has been
adduced proving cOncluslyely their lnnO-
cence and the impOssibility of their CON-
plicftv in the affair. Gen. Smith, Super
intendent of the Institute, regrets his &C
ton in the matter, but the dismissed
cadets refuse to apply for reinstatement.
They intend TO carry the matter TO the
courts in a suit for damages against the
institute.
No definite conclusion has been reached
concerning the explosion of the arsenal.
A military court Of inquiry is now in ses-
sion investigating the charges against
Cadet Russell Coles, Of Virginia. he is
accused of the destruction OF the arsenal.
The case against him rests on the fact
that he was out of bis room ten minutes
before the explosion occurred. Little
doubt of his innocence is entertained, as
he is able to prove an abb. Consequent
" the court is in a quandary. The stud
ents of the Washington and Lee Universe
ty are suspected by many of having COM
mitted the deed. Others are confident
that it was the WORK of negroes actuated
by unknown motives. The explosion was
heard at q distance Of twelve miles and
the debris was thrown over 500 yards.
The inhabitants Of the neighboring VII
lagos were badly frightened, installing
the shock for an earthquake.

Fine Cotton.

DIR. Meyer, of Scarboro, formerly of Sa-
vannah, handed us last week a sample of
a new variety Of cotton, which he had
written on the package, 'Dick Miller's
Cotton" The bOlls are five lObed and
very large, opening rather slower than
some of the favOrite varieties, but full and
snowy when mature and the lint very
white, long and heavy, much above the
average in marketable qualities, if not
equaling the best articles of short staple.
A marked feature in thisvariety is the great
size of the bolIs and the robust weight
Of the seed, which are much heavier
than usual and likely to give great salts
faction to the oil mill men. If large, WELL
formed seed can add anything to the pro-
duction of fruit, it must become a leader
among cottons, when once fixed as a uni
form, distinct variety. At present 1t does
not appear to be fixed in its individuality,
as its seeds in color range all the way
from light brown to a deep bright green,
the latter predominating and emitting it
to be called a green seed cotton. The
seeds were obtained from the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, and we
think we recognize in 1t the "cOming
green seed' cotton of our old friend, N.
H. Zellner, OF Asheville, Ala. We think
the department bought his seed and dis
tributed them through the South.

Trees on the Farm.

Does a farm look well without treesf
What painter would deign to paint farm
without its clumps of trees with rich green
foliage? But there is also great utility in
trees on the farm. They not only beau
tify the landscape, but they border, shade
and preserve the small streams fem fill
ing up and from drying up. In clumps
they shade the stock from summers heat
and keep vegetation green around them.
Hill sides, now bare and peOr, might be
made rich and valuable by planting nut
and other fruit trees to renew the soil and
yield crops of fruit. ChesUnuts, walnuts,
pecans, hickory and other nuts will all
grow we'll If properly started on the clay
hilIsides.

"The Black Belt"

A Northern writer who recently visited
Florida describes the middle counties of
the State as the "black belt" superior in
soil to other sections of the State, undu-
lating and admirably adapted to agricul-
ture. The belt here referred to also en-
braces the adjoining tier of counties in
Southern Georgia. The belt is about 80
miles long and about 90 miles wide, some
times called the "cOttOn belt' of the lower
South, and, all things considered, is the
most pleasurable strip of land inhabited
by civilized people. Its climatic and soil
resources to sustain population and rem
der life prosperous and happy, have, per-
haps, no equal on any continent, as the
future will show.

A Mississippi farmer is tying quar-
ter of an acre Of asparagus. Why don't
some of our own thrifty farmers go into
it on a larger scale? 1t is known to be-
favOrite vegetable in the market, always
brings a good price North and South;
while here it is no experiment, but will
produce with certainty, requiring only The
proper treatment. Savannah is near the
sea and its truck farms ought to be ia
nous for this saIt-lOYing vegetable luxury.
