<THE BxfERIMENTAL FARM.

ceremonies of the installation
Of the experimental farm near the
fair grounds at Raleigh were car
ried out according to the programme
last Thursday. Addresses were made
by Gov. Scales, Commissioner of Ag-
riculture McGehees Hon. Randolph
Harrison, Comissidne of Agricul-
ture of Virginia P. Chazal, State
Chemist Of South Carolina; Hon.
w. N. III. Spiith and Hon. A. S. Mer-
rimon, of the Supreme Court; Col.
Walter II Steele, F. III. Busbee, w.
G.. Upchurch, w. S. Primrose, Capt.
S. A. yAshe, and Col. Wharton ].
Green. The speeches were all of the
progressive order, some Of them
abounding in facts very creditable
to North Carolina. Mr.. Harrison,
Of Virginia, was very compliment
ary to North Carolina on her pro-
gressive spirit and the good exam
pie she was setting other States, an
example from which his State had
derived much benefit, for she was a
pupil Of North Carolina in the estab-
lishment of a department of agricul-
ture. Mr.. Chazal, of South Carolina,
spoke in the same strain, saying that
South Carolina had modelled her ex-
pertinent station after that of North
Carolina. This is all very crafty
ing, and we hope the work of pro
gress will go on until North Caro-
lima can point with pride not only
to what she has done but is doing,
and defy any of her sister States to
show a better record.

LEWISVILLE CLUB.

The club met on the afternoon of
the 18th inst. 1t being busy times
on the farm, the attendance was not
very large, but the proceedings were
interesting. After the regular busi-
ness Of the meeting instructive re-
marks were made on wheat culture
by J. r. Ketner, E. T. Wright, and
J. E. Holder, after which the club
adjourned to meet again on Satur-
day 31st inst, to make arrangements
and appoint delegates to the county
convention.

OF old and said IL will cOme;" and
so did many others. We have con-
tinued to meet until the influence
is perceptible for many miles around.
Hence the name circle. Be it said
in honor Of the Doctor, that he has
furnished and still furnishes a ueat
room, seats, firewood and stationery
for the same free of charge.
The fruits are apparent. The
fields from Trinity to High Point
and in an equal radius in other
directions have doubled their yield.
The farmers go to their work rejoic-
ing and dull care has left. Green
backs with a X X on the corner are
passed over the counter, eliciting
smile from the merchant who re-
torts with a modest ''thank you sir"
it is remarkable to see the amount
of modest contentment that such
state of things begets.
Several agricultural fairs are it's
legitimate offspring, that we are
proud of, and whole counties might
justly envy. The Doctor presides
at the meetings by virtue of his lib
erality, his good sense and our will
ing consent, A jar Or hard feeling
has never been heard or felt in the
multitude ofdiscussions in the circle.
An almost infinite number of farm
topics have been talked over, various
opinions offered, differing materially
but always in harmony. Subjects
are always presented by the Doctor,
never the same one second time
unless continued, and still they ap-
pear inexaustible. We meet once
in two weeks in the afternoon We
make no pretentions to parliament
tary usages. Each one gives his
opinions in his own way, either sit
ting or standing. The President
sums up at the close in the form of
a charge to a jury. All are atten-
tive listeners. 1t is remarkable the
amount Of valuable ideas that can
be plucked in this way, out of
hard-fsted farmer, and he be scarcely
aware of the good he is doing.
A written constitution and code
of bylaws are essential sometimes,
but not always. Unpretentious per-
sons labor under fear aroftransgress-
ing and become timid With no
such restraint they feel kind Of
liberty and become aids. We are
not hostile to parliamentary usages.
They are essential in their proper
places but can never become univer-
sal. Some men are kept aloof frQsH
usefulness for fear such will ke re-
quired of them. TimiditXN often
characteristic. Of culturE Cheap
guns are ornamented with brass.
Some one has said "Don't be forward.
If you are a jewel some one will find
you"
The influence of club is not nee
essarily confined to it's immediate
members. It spreads like a conta-
gion. Others seeing the fruits of
their united wisdom ego and do
likewise" This is seen within the
radius of our circle.

The Use of Commercial Fertilizer Dis

The Use of Commercial Fertilizer Dis
Our club held it's regular meeting
on Oath inst, the subject under dis
cussion being the use of commercial
fertilizers.
r. G.. Lineback said he was not
much of commercial fertilizer man,
had tried it on wheat,-did not pay
him, had used it on tobacco but in
connection with stable manure.
Found it paid much better in small
quantities with manure, than in large
quantities alone.

stable manure alone, while on some

manure is now little ahead of the
commercial fertilizer, while that

our prospects are yet as good as
they are, though our crops are nee
essarily badly damaged, with an
abundant oat crop just housed we
hope to have a supply of grain for
another year. | think our people
are beginning to realize the neces-
sity of making their own supplies.
| never knew so many to express a
determination to give small grain
and grass prominent place in their
list of farm products. This is a nat

have known thirty-eight bushels of
wheat grown per acre here, and the
late James Joyner of this place
frequently y made a crop of twenty
bushels per acre.
| saw to-day a field of orchard
grass and clover sown last winter by
Mr.. W. G. Long, of Farmville, that
would be hard to be beat anywhere.
He has perfect stand and it is now
ready for the mower. Mr.. Long
has two plots of clover of which he
is Justly proud. Several Of my
neighbors have tried German millet
this year and are satisfied with it. /
have finished getting mine in to-day,
and though / failed to get good
catch the yield was very satisfac-
tory. When / first read of German
millet, about ten years ago, it was
stated that the seed was a great
item of value in the crops, but l was
talking to a gentleman few weeks
ago about it, who has cultivated it
very successfully a number of years,
and he said it was his opinion that the
seed when mature were injurious
to horses and cattle because they
could not masticate them and hence
were imperfectly digested. He
always cuts when i'm bloom for hay.
| acted upon his suggestion and did
the same thing this year. l hope
some of your readers, who have ex-
perience will throw some light on
the subject.
Well, we have really organized a
farmers club in our midst. A few
of us met in Farmville, on the 18th
inst, and organized with nine mem
bers, electing Mr.. A. J. Moye, Presi-
dent and Francis Joyner secretary,
with instructions to write to the

you will please forward to me in

What 1t is Doing and Has Done.

What at IS Doing and Has Done.
(By one Of its members.)
The woof of this article may ap-
pear long and wearisome. The ma
terial is plenteous and we think
wholesome. Ny friends and acquain-
tances live on both sides of the road
from here to your 'twin-city," [
expect many of them to read this
article and be benefited.
The farming interest ofthis south
ern country is ola magnitude suffi-
cient to demand space in all the
journals for it's advancement. The
days of the scant Drained farmers
are gone and the cream Of the soil
| fear went with them. The old
fogy notion that only dull boys are
fit for farmers is played out, and a
better one gradually taking it's
place. Brain is as essential in this
as in any other vocation. To re-
claim butchered soil, made SO by
the mistake of our progenitors, re
quires more deep thought than did
the cutting down and wearing out.
When destruction, urged by the
motive gain, was the predominant
feature of farming, then dull brains
might direct. But when lands are
worn near to ruin and consumers
increased, then cultured brains and
muscle are in demand; else starva-
tion's hand may pull the latch strings
Of many doors.
The time is near, we hope, when
experiment farms and workshops
will be necessary appendages to all
our colleges and high-schools, when
secretary of a bureau of agricul-
ture will occupy seat in the cab
met of the nation.
Now comes the burden Of this
communication, burden / love to

to meet him at Trinity as circle of

think it much more of a humbug
than the other brands, for none had
been beneficial to me.
J. w. Conrad: / have used some
commercial fertilizer on tobacco
have not used it extensively. think
a small quantity in the hill is very
good to start the young plant. I
think it barely paid me, with no
margin.
J. G.. Conrad: / have been using
commercial fertilizer on tobacco for
a number of years, and had made
some money from the sales oftobacco;
but [ hardly know whether to
credit commercial fertilizer or not,
as my land is naturally adapted to
the growth of tobacco. | hardly
think it pays to use fertilizer on

J. A. Algood: | think the use of
commercial fertilizer On tobacco will
pay, if properly nsed. 1t should be
applied in quantities to suit the diff
ferent soils, and the way we learn
that about here is by experience.
w. r. Wilson: [ think the use of
commercial fertilizer will pay on
tobacco, if farmers could purchase
it at about three dollars sack.
P. G. Plaff: think the use of
commercial fertilizer,upon the whole,
is non paying business. While
some few claim that it pays (and
probably does) for out of seven one
makes, four lose and two come out
even.
Others discussed the matter in
regard to the use of commercial fer
tilizer, and the conviction of all
seemed to be that we would have to
slide out of this system, and adopt
a better and more independent one,
and that was for the most part, make
our own fertilizers. Even if we
produce less grain and tobacco for a
few years, it would be our own.
The business of the club was
transacted. Two new members added
to the list. Five members were elec-
ted as delegates to the county meet
ing, viz: A. E. Plaff, R. G.. Lineback,
E. NJ. Conrad, V. /. Beck, and E. c.
