Is 1T FREE?

{ In a former issue Of THE PROGRESS
I'VE FARMER we criticized the course
pursued by the Department of Agri-
culture in publishing the Monthly
Bulletin at the expense of the State
and then charging farmers for it.,
thus entering into competition with
agricultural journals Of the State
The North Carolina Farmer endorsed
our position with some strong con&-
ment. The Raleigh Neus and Or
sefucr makes a partial defense of tile
Department, in which it says that
it studiously avoids giving cause for
objection OF this kind, but tries to
observe a happy medium by pub
fishing only what it thought to be OF
interest to the farmers Of the State
without coming into competition
with other papers, and atd~:
"In the second place, the department
does not solicit subscribers, but mails it's
Bulletin free to such worthy farmers as
apply for it, using, however, such pre-
cautions as the postal laws make neces-
sary." -1rl.. Is.
And now, will the Neus and o.
seruer please inform us if the Depart
ment "does not solicit subscribers
but sends it's Bulletin free to such
worthy farmers asapply for it," why
it has standing printed on it's title
page, date line, the following: "Sub-
scription price, per year, 25 cents?"
Perhaps 25 cents a year is consid-
cred cheap enough to be cal e |
"free.'

A GOOD IDEA.

The Cedar Grove Club did a good
thing when it decided to offer a
prize of ten bushels of wheat to the
member Of the club raising the
greatest quantity Of wheat on one
acre of land. This will excite a
spirit of friendly rivalry, not of
course for the mere value of the
wheat given as a premium, but for
the honor Of victory. Now let the
other clubs in the county do like
wise, offer a premium for the great
est yield per acre of wheat, oats,
corn, tobacco, grass, &C., and let a
careful record be kept of the method
of cultivation, quantity and kind of
fertilizers used, &C., and thus all
farmers may be benefited, as we'll
as those who win the prizes. 1t is
"a good idea and shows that those
who conceived and act upon it are
OF the progressive order of men.
We commend it not only to the clubs
OF the county but to the clubs of the
State.

THE FERTILIZER LAW AGAIN.

The Roanoke Ne,os Of the 10th ult.,
has a vigorous and pointed editorial
on the construction by the Depart
ment of Agriculture OF the fertilizer
law. under which construction, sup
ported, it seems, by the Attorney
General, fertilizers purchased out or
the State, or chemicals for fertilizers
are subject to ~confiscation. whether
the News refers to some new case or
to some case previously occur
ring, we do not know, but it
takes strong ground against such
Interpretation Of the law, quoting
freely from the law, and sustains the
position taken by The PRoGREssIvE
FARMER in our issue ofJuly q, when
we discussed the action OF the
Department in reference to the case
of the Vance county farmers, who
purchased chemicals for fertilizers
from a house in Baltimore. We
thought when we published the let
ter of the Vance county farmer COM
planning of the action Of the Depart
ment in notifying him that the
chemicals he and his friends were
purchasing were liable to Sc cure
that there might be some mistake
about it, but as the Department has
been silent we take it for granted
the statement was correct and that
the Department is pursuing the high
handed course as represented, based
upon the Attorney Generals inter
probation of the law, which with all
due Difference and respect to that
gentleman, we believe and hold to
be wrong. We believe with the
Nems that the fertilizer law was
intended to protect the farmer and
not to Cypress him, nor to prohibit
him from buying his fertilizers or
chemicals to make fertilizers, where
he could buy to best advantage pro
vided he bought in good faith for
his own use and not to traffic in them
and make a profit out Of them. AS
O as the farmer becomes a dealer
and trader for the purpose of profit
in these goods he takes the place OF
any other dealer and the law applies
to him as it does to any other dealer.
The Neus contends that since the
construction ofthe Department is sus-
tanned by the law officer of the State
the section warranting such con
struction should be repealed by the
next legislature and we agree with

WHY WE WERE NOT THERE.

"Our farmers dinner was on Friday
9th; it was a splendid success. Every

avoidably disappointed in reaching
Raleigh. We had good speeches by Col.
J. A. Spears, Maj. w. E. Murchison,

The above we clip from a letter
published in the State Chronicle, from
the pen Of MI. B. +. Shaw, Of Lii

regret at the mishap, and our good
friend, Mr.. Shaw, of our high appre-

AN UGLY A~RRAIGNMENr

A correspondent of the Charlot+.

county "where no female Is So
without a guard, and no male is S"s'

This is an ugly Indictment ayaiH.t

ment. OF course it is not true, and
neither the writer nor the editor
who published it intended that if
should be literally taken. 1t is sim.
ply a specimen Of thoughtless exay.
geration, which men sometimes in.
dulge in to strengthen the position
they take without thinking how
ugly their wild assertions look in
print. Writers, when the reputation
for morals or law and order of their
people are at stake, should not
throw i'm their words pell-mell, but
should think when they write and
try to keepsomewhere in the neigh

doubtless much crime in Mecklen

FAIR PLAY.

Col. Winston came very near cap
turing CD Washington City during
the r''late onpleasantness," and vet
nobody ever heard of it until lie
concluded to run against Reid fer
Congress. Oh! modest Kurnel
Johnny!
We take the above from the Fam
IL Neus of the 3rd inst.
We have nothing to do with Col.
Winston's politics or aspirations, but
in the interest of truth and Justice
we say, we do know that or the 18th
OF July, 1864, our brave North Caro-
lima boys, under the superb and GAL
liant leadership Of John R. Winston,
reached a point a the Capitol
in Washington City, than was done
by any other troops during that
CAMPAIGN or during the war.

THE A

I The PROGRESSIVE FARMER and the
North Guoiina Farmer object to the
publication Of the Bulletin by the
State Agricultural Department at
20 cents Il year. The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER places its objection upon the
ground that it is "a competitor of
private enterprise, using the public
money for that purpose" There Is
force in this view. The North car
0ttna Farmer makes Il good point
when it urges:
ave think the Bulletin should be
confined in it's publications to the
work of the Department and clrcu-
lated free as other public documents
State Government in all of its depart-
ments, is but an agency of the PEG,
pie supported by the taxes derived
from their business. For the agent
to supplant the business Of the peo,
pie is to subvert one of the most
important principles Of Democratic
government which is, protection TO
the property Of the citizen. In tins
case it measurablyinjure ordestroyS

Well taken. The Star has often
commended the excellence OF the
Bulletin, but as it is published ny

for all concerned to confne its dlS-
cussions to it's own Legitimate WORK
and "other public documents. we
are not prepared to say that II TINS
is done that it should not charge Tor
it but circulate free of charge. PUP
fishing it's own matter, which is of'eh
very important, it might properly
