DIR. MOTIFS Explanation.

The Republican State Executive Com
mlttee decided on the 18th inst, 10 call
no State convention this year. An address
IS III course Of preparation, containing the
reasons OF The committee for this course
of action, and will be published in a few
days.
Certain parties in the State protesting
10 dissent from the views Of the commit
tee, have taken it upon themselves to call
a convention and are distributing paper
for that purpose. They say their conven-
ton is for the purpose of ''olecting a new
State committee, and ''to take into con
sideratiOn the nomination of candidates. >
Now my purpose in sending out this let
ter in advance of the regular address of
the committee IS to prevent the misleading
tendencies sought to be made by these OBJ
ponentS of the committees action.
SO far as heard from, and members of
the committee heard from most Of them,
there was bat one voice among these sign
ers of this convention call, and that was
against putting out a ticket. They only
wanted to elect a new committee to pre-
serve a legal organization of the party.
The committee took the ground that it
was not necessary to hold convention for
this purpose, that it had the legal right to
postpone the calling of a convention for
lNC NtttLS AIOlt anu tlotI lllC ttl vi gan
ization Of the party would not be affected
by it There are plenty of precedents for
this, and there is no doubt Of the legality of
it. The committee cares nothing for its
own perpetuation and only thought Of the
proprety Of nominating a ticket. 1t was
| unanimous Qn this point. Even the mem
Der Mr.. BledsOe who voted for q conven-
ton, was opposed to putting out ticket.
The members of the committee took into
consideration and with due Difference that
large class Of patriotic Republicans who
want a ticket to vote. But being in a pO-
sition as they believed, to understand the
situation, they felt that this was not the
time, and their explanation will be given
in the forthcoming address. Those pres
ent who are now promoters of this conven-
ton call being of the same opinion, namely
that no ticket should be nominated, OF
course but the more confirmed the COM
mittee against convention.
The committee WAS CAREFUL to give time
. and opportunity to the party to express
I Itself as to the call of a convention. |,
did get very large expression of such
opinion against a convention, and very
small expression in favor Of it. 1t asked
for the will of the party. /, was plain
honest and straightforward i'll all it did
and the members believe they did what
| the party wished, and they have no doubt
the unseltish patriots of the party think

Tobacco Raised in the East,
From Edenton En4uirerl

DR.. Woodley. OF Chowan county, has
proved, with his experiment this year, that
This county, Or at least portion of it, can
be made 10 produce as fine tobacco AS any
other county in the State. We were show Il
a sample of the ground leaves, cured by
himself in the new patent barn, which he
advertised some time ago in this paper,
that excelled anything of the kind we ever
saw. This is generally thrown away by
the upper county tobacco raiser, which the
Doctor has saved and will obtain $12 or
$15 per hundred for it. No waste at all
by this process of curing, enough saved
the first year On a twenty five acre crop to
pay the expense Of the entire barn.

and the way prepare the nests for sit
ting hens in cold weather may help
them. First put three inches of horse
manure in the bottom of the nest, which
should he large, with the opening in
front, not on top; then lay in generous
supply of hay, and only put small sit
ting of eggs under the hen.
During the cold weather we save all
vegetable parings we have. and boil them
soft; add little salt and mix stiil with
corn-chop, for the morning meal for the
poultry: then give wheat screenings. or
whole corn, occasionally, about the mid
die of the afternoons also give warm
water each time.
As there is one building for both the
nests and rooSts. ! fasten each sitting hen
up in her nest. taking her off in the
morning. and after she has eaten and
busted. she goes back to her nest quietly.
This takes time. but no one can raise
chickens without some time and work.

PLANTING CORN---A HINT

From the Country bcntlcman.I
In most of the trials made at expert
ment stations and elsewhere, to deter
mine the productivpncss of different vari-
cites of corn, sufficient allowance is not
made for the unlike degrees of density of
planting which the different sorts will
bear. a small variety. for its best return,
bearing much closer planting than
large. leafy sort. with heavy ears. Some
of the large southern corn gives three
times as much grain on the ear as the
smaller northern sorts; and if both are
planted at equal distances. or with the
same number of stalks to the acre, the
product of the small corn will be either
too small to do the kind justice, or else
the large sort will be too thick to pro-
duce well-developed ears.
These remarks are suggested on look
ING over Bulletin No. II of the Ohio Ag-
ricutural experiment station, giving the
results of trials made on sixty varieties.
The land on which the corn grew was
rich and a small portion of an acre was
allotted to each sort. The same degree
of dcnSeness in planting was allowed to
each kind; they were planted in rows
three and half feet apart each way.with
three stalks in the hill. The experiments
were unquestionably performed with
great accuracy. The larger and later
sorts. if not too much crowded. would
possess Il great advantage over the small
varieties. Accordingly, in CHANGING down
the list which gives the date of ripening
in one column and the product in anoth-
er. the heaviest returns are uniformly
among the late or large growing sorts.
Those which matured in August yielded
at the rate of from 3G to 80 bushels an
acre: those which gave over a hundred
bushels an acre nearly all ripened their
grain late in September. The variety
known as ''lIOrse-TOoth, maturing sept
-. yielded rs bushels an acre; ''Robin-
sons Mixed" Sept. n, yielded lO2 BUSH
els; "IIiawassee." sept. %. gave los
bushels. and so with few other varie-
tleS. only one SORT rlpenlnS Delore the
middle of September yielded over hun
drcd bushels. There were, of course,
some partial exceptions to the above gen
eral rules. But the results show the i'm
portancc of adapting the denSeness of
planting to the different varieties. There
is no doubt that small corn may be plant
ed as much thicker than large rs to COM
pensatc for the smallness of the ears,
Judging from the heavy crops which have
been occasionally afforded. In measur-
ing, the numbers of bushels were deter
mined by weighing-70 poun!S to the
bushel at husking. The quantity would
of course be much reduced after drying Il
few months.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1886-04-16

increased from GO to 100 bushels of corn
per acre, while the corn was as strictly
pedigreed and possessed of certain traits
as is the case with thoroughbred animals.
BY judicious selecting and using the
seed of roots, such as potatoes, bects,
carrots and parsnips, especially if from
the best plants, every farmer may in-
prove the crop. In the potato the bud
end is the portion that produces the
strongest plant and gives the largest
yield, yet few farmers consider the fact
when cutting the tubers for planting.
The best results in cabbage, turnips, kalc,
parsnips, etc, are derived from seed
chosen at the main stem and not on the
laterals, while the most attractive fruit Is
that which grows on the first portion of
wood of the previous seasons growth.
Not only should the seed be selected
from the best portions of the plants, but
a single plant may be chosen as Il founda-
ton for beginning a better variety. 1t is
not necessary to change the characters
ties in all respects, for we have varieties
almost innumerable, but to take advan-
tage of those we have to improve them
thereby insuring larger yields, earlier
maturity, less liability to droughts and
frOsts, greater success in the termination
of seed and higherpr due to improved
appearance and quality of the CROPS

SEED WITH A PEDIGREE.

As animals are bred from particular
strains. and their good qualitie, rendered
inherent by in-brceding and careful
selection. the same course may be pur-
sued with vegetables and general farm
crops. OF all plants wheat may be man
aged in that respect most easily. In
the experiments conducted for the pur-
pose it has been demonstrated that by
careful selection of the strongest stalks,
fullest heads and plumpest grains the
seed annually becomes better and the
yield larger. Nearly all plants used for
our purposes have been improved by
selection and crOss-fertiliZation. and no
one can claim that there is any limit to
further Improvements.
One of the crops that can be made to
adapt itself to certain localities is corn.
In some sections it will not always ripen
before frost. and it is not easy to select a
va 4t. i've satisfaction in every
res, ...... hr 'r>t trial. but by going
thro , -n. fcld v'hcn the corn begins
vigorCr-. and the ears earlier than the
others, he crop the succeeding year may
be shortened in the period required for
maturing. and in Il few seasons, by re-
peating the process, the corn will be bet
ter adapted to the soil and climate than
any other variety that can he procured,
and if at the same time the most prolific
stalks be selected the ears may be III
creased to an average of three on the
stalks. Dr. Sturtevant. of the New York
experiment station, bred up his corn
by first searching for the finest specimens
in ear, stalk, iassel and growth. In the
spring he planted his selected corn, dis
carding every imperfect grain. He then
destroyed all the backward stalks so as to
prevent the dissemination of deterioratig
/ pollen, and thus annually practiced the
same method, planting the selected seed
apart from the general crop, and the re-
suit was that when his fields were plant
ed with the selected seed the yield was
