ONE CAUSE OF POTATO DIS
EASE.

A correspondent Of the Gardeners
Monthly, vouched for by the editor
as an expert, claims that the diseases
of the potato come from the immense
strain to which it has been subjected
in the shape of gross feeding, high
cultivation, unnatural treatment and
all the greed Of the exacting cult
vator with his determination to
have the :'Iast pound of flesh" The
writer thinks that if we were to
treat in a similar way any other
kind of vegetable that is propagated
by the bulb or tuber, such as the
tulip, the hyacinth, or the narcissus,
pretty similar results would follow.
"In fact, all vegetables and animals
when pressure is upon them like it
is on the poor potato, must, like rid
ing a free horse to DEATH finally
succumb to its treatment; for all
ought to be impressed with the i'm
portant lesson that if we break nat
ure's laws, we certainly shall, SOON
er or later, have to pay the pen
atty"

{ WHAT DO YOU THINK
y ABOUT 1T?

The farmers Of South Carolina
have recently met\in convention in
Columbia, and in aAseries Of vigor-
Gus but conservative\and respectful
resolutions have made known their
demands to the next Legislature.
The farmers of North Carolina
are interested in some measures that
ought to come before the next legis-
lature whether they do or not.
They ought to have an agricul-
tural college with the funds donated
for that purpose, now appropriated
to something else.
, The question of convict labor
should be so disposed Of that the
sfarmers of this State might derive
some benefit from this labor.
The State Agricultural Del art
ment should be so remodelled as to
make it more useful to farmers for
whom it was established, and it
should be under the control of prac-
tical farmers.
These are three things, among
others, in which the farmers of
North Carolina have a direct in
terest.

them? Write to THE PROGRESSIVE

BETTER THAN COTTON.

Mr.. R. d. Wall, only one mile
from town on the river road, has
placed on u table a sample Of vel
low yam sweet potatoes; the main
II weighs 4 Tbs. and 4 o., and the
average weight of the crop raised on
two acres is about two Tbs. Mr..
Wall informs us that he has dug and
banked about 1000 bushels. This
yield is without precedent. We
call the attention of the PROGRESSIVE
FARMER to this industry. 1t can't
be beat. We have plenty Of land in
Beaufort county that will make a
similar yield if properly cultivated.

The PROGRESSING FARMER takes
great pleasure IN reproducing notices
Of this kind for it forcibly illus
trates what we have so often said.
that there are many crops in which
there is more money for the farmers
OF North Carolina than in cotton and
tobacco. Samples of sweet potatoes,
raised in this county, have been
brought into our office, weighing six
pounds and over, but Mr.. Wall has
done remarkably we'll in the aver
age weight Of his crop and in the
splendid yield per acre. These pota-
toes ought to bring on market at
least fifty cents a bushel at homo.
which would be $3.50 an acre, prob
ably ten times as much as a cotton
crop on the same ground would have
yielded, and with less labor and less
cost for cultivation. And then there
are no guano bills followed up
by chattel mortgages, &C., waiting for
the crop to be sold or forcing it into
market. By degrees, though slowly
Il farmers are turning their atten-
ton to other things than cotton and

sake, that they are doing SO.

fostered. In the Legislative halls 1t
should receive not only as mucn
consideration as other Industries
which seek legislative action, put
more. The farmer is slow to ask,
slow to assert his claims, easily
satisfied and little disposed to com
plain, but this is no reason why the
legislator should not inquire INTO
his wants, and when it can be fairly
and legally done, without tramPl'ng
upon the rights Of others, these
wants should be provided for. Ev-
erything that can be legitlmately
done to better the condition OF the
farmer. to make farm life more
pleasant and farm labor o remu-
lucrative should be done, and done
willingly, not reluctantly: Leglsia-
ton cannot make a thrifJless, slip
shod, lazy farmer prosperous, but 1t
can help to make the great body OF
farmers more prosperous by the
enactment of fostering measures IN
which all farmers r Interested.
Better methods Of educating the
sons of farmers can be adopted, bet
ter road systems adopted, better sys-
tenn of managing convict labor
adopted, better protection to the
farmers focks and herds from the
depredations Of hungry ours can be
given, protection from the extortlon
Of railroad corporations, &C., can be
given and thus the farmers of the
State be helped along in the struggle
Of life. While Legislation cannot do
everything for the farmer it a do
much, and what it can do should be
promptly and cheerfully done.
