SWEET POTATOES.

North Carolina is a great sweet
potato State. There is a variety
known as the Hamon potato, taking
its name from the man who introduce
cd it about twenty-five years ago. 1t
was at first white pulp and not much
desirable in quality. There is also
the white and pumpkin or yellow
yam; these two varieties are of vel
low pulp, one being much deeper
yellow than the other. These have
been more cultivated of. late years
than any of the others. Hence the
Hamons and yams have been planted
beside each other and even in the
same hill. The Hamon potato has
greatly improved in quality, and per-
sons have seen the Hamon potato,
when grown with the yam, partaking
of the yellow color of the yam on one
side, while the other side, or some
times the end, would be white like
the Hamon. This potato has improv-
ed from common to good and it's col
or much deepened, so that in color it
now resembles the yam potato.
Because the Hamon potato has
been planted near or with the yam
potatoes occasionally for the last IS
years, and because its quality has
improved and its color deepened,
many persons say the yam has mixed
with the Hamon from being planted
together. Ifthese varieties Of pota-
toes have mixed here is chance tor
somebody to throw light on the sub
ject of potato mixing. Here is a
field for scientific men to give their
views on natures process. Let us
have light.

SMALL FARMS.


made to see what can be accomplish
ed with small farms, which mean less
work, they would not be SO anxious
to cultivate large tracts of land. A
farmer near Santa Paula, California,
whose farm consists of FIVE acres, has
demonstrated that more can be done
with small farms than larger ones in
proportion TO the labor and capital
invested in them. His name is By
ers, and this is the history of his ex-
perience with his five acres:
Beginning on his fve-acre tract
little over two years ago, he has
fenced it, built good comfortable
dwelling and chicken house, and
put out 1873 trees of the following va
riety; four cherry trees and as many
varieties, Al plum trees, 10 varieties,
| Norfolk Island pine, l magnolia, 4
orange, , lemons, II peach, IL april
cot, 80 apple, ! cherry plum, 2 nee
tarines, | ounce, 3 figs, 9 Bartlett
and Louis Bonda pears, 1000 black
berry vines, many Of which were put
out this year and are bearing, Is va
rletles of grapes, embracing $50 vines
besides 10 Concord grapevines
brought from Ohio Zone of these lat
ter grew % feet last year and now
has a cluster of fruit on it measuring
% inches long,, 16 Zante currant
grapeyines.
Besides all this he has one acre of
corn, in which is one-eighth of an
acre OF golden sea popcorn and sew
en-eights in golden beauty" This
latter is large and prolific, five sralks
showing as many as thirteen full
ears. Then there is an acre in sweet
potatoes, one fourth of an acre in
Irish potatoes, from which | $50 lbs.
have been sold and a family of eight
persons supplied. OF onions there
is half an acre and they are magnif-
cent. An eighth OF an acre is deyo-
ted to strawberries, GO tomato plants,
one of them being Of the Turner's
hybrid breed, splendid plant, $50
cabbage plants. one of them measur-
ing three feet across, one mammoth
siquoia tree, one Towering pine, 1901
hills of marblehead and mammoth
Chill squashes Zone of these latter
though not grown yet is more than
one can liit), some mammoth Russian
sunflowers for chicken feed, one head
fourteen inches across; these and
watermelons, muskmelons and Gu
cumbers filling in the spaces. The
watermelons are extra large and nu-
merous. Thornless bIackberries
Cuthbert raspberries, rhubarb, horse
radish, celery, all grow in this gar
den. Bermuda grass mats his door
yard; mich COW, from which the
family supply of milk and butter is
derived, and twelve pounds a week
are sold besides, grazes in the fence
corners, while seventy-fve chickens
keep up the supply OF eggs. Is not
a small farm in the right hands prof
table?

means lack intelligence or education.
The problem of how and to what an extent
to restrict, is not II small one. But GER
tanly some additional safeguards can be
devised to close our doors to the fugitive
criminals and turbulent and disorderly
elements that are expelled from other

One outcome Of the present labor
troubles will probably be a movement on
the part of the people to secure some leg
islation regulating immigration. 1t has
been pretty concusively shown that W e
are admitting in large numbers, and with
out the slightest restriction, dangerous
class Of immigrants-the off securing of
Europe, men ignorant, lawless, averse to
honest labor and full of sociaistic and
communistic ideas, which they would
like to put into force in this land of free
thought and free speech. The exist
ing conflict between labor and CAPT
tai has given these men an oppor-
tunity for which they have long
been waiting, and they have improved it
to the best. of their ability. That they
have not succeeded as well as they wish
ed is certainly not their fault. They
have unmasked themselves, it seems, to
little purpose-so far as they themselves
are cOncerned-but to very good purpose
50 far as the American people are con
cerned. Has not the time come to call Il
halt, and allow ourselves some choice as to
the klnd of persons we welcome to citizen
snip European statesmen have long
marVelled at the way in which we make
our country the Botany Bay of the whole
world, and then grant every man, good
and bad alike, an equal voice in the adj
ministration of the government 1t is in
deed sublimely audacious experiment.
and there are indications that we have
gone as far with it as we safely can. VIII it
be more than just to ourselves and to the
future of our great nation, to place some
restrictions on the class of immigrants we
admit from Europe as well as on those from
China ? OF course if we decline to admit
Mongolians we can decline if we choose
to admit Poles, or Russians, or Italians, or
any other nationality, provided we are CON
WINGED that the country would be better
off without them.
But without making such sweeping dis
tinctions as would be implied by this dis
elimination of races, may it not be posi-
BILE and eXpedient for us to exclude OBJ
jectionable classes of immigrants by Judi
cious legislation Several plans have been
proposed to this end. One is that a small
property valuation be required of each
Immigrant, the suppositiOn being that Il
man who by industry and thrift has
laid by little sum of money is
likely to possess the right qualities for
