INDUSTRIAL

. At the last meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture, it was decided
to establishan Industrial school, and
Raleigh having offered more induce
ment than anVother city the prob
abilities are that it will be located
there. A committee was appointed
to select a l6cationa and report to'the
meeting ofthe Boardin July. There
were but two other towns in the
State that made any effort to secure
it, Charlotte and Durham we think;
but neither offered as much Raleigh.
One industrial school for beginning
may do but it is not enough. Every
leading school in the State should
have an industrial school as a part
of it's system, where young men de-
string to pursue mechanical callings
could be trained to them while pur-
suing their other studies. When
the State aids by money or other
wise this should be insisted upon.
There should be such an institution
as we'll as an agricultural college in
fact-not only in name0at the State
University, where the sons of me-
chanics, and the sons of farmers,
might be taught what they desire to
learn and what will be ofreal use to
them in hewing their way through
life. All the young men who go to
school cannot be lawyers, o doc
tors nor ministers of the gospel if
they wished to, and all ought to be
educated to fit them for the calling
which they may select. G

SUGGESTION Fer COTTON,
PLANTERS.

We reproduce the following, which
expresses our sentiments, from the
Wilmington Star, with the remark
that while it applies to cotton plan
ters it applies with equal force to
tobacco planters:
We have often wondered why the far
mers of the South did not organize for
their own protection. Every other class
pull together. There are labor asso-
Citations, trades associations, and so on.
Why do not the farmers concentrate
their power? They could control the
politics of the country if they would pull
together. But it is not so much politi-
cally that there is need of combination
as economically. They are taxed heavily
by the Federal Government. The amount
Of taxes they pay indirectly, but still pay
all the same, is staggering. Then they
do no consult their Own interests in di-
versifying crops-in limiting the area of
cotton production. By raising too much
OF this great staple they cut their own
financial Threats and make it's produc-
ton a burden instead of a source of
profit, as it might be. The pressing ne
necessity of organizing is being urged far
ther south of us. Too much cotton is
the cry, and still the work of folly con-
tinues. But it is too late for 1886, but
not too late for the following year. A
writer in the New Orleans Times Democrat
urges the farmers to meet and organize
with reference to another cotton crop.
But this will not avail anything, and be-
cause the farmers will not meet, AMI if
they did, because SO many of them would
not regard the limitations adopted. We
say this because the experiment was
tried in Georgia about 1872, and it did
not amount to much. While some were
faithful to pledges others planted more
than ever.
There is no doubt that the planters
would be masters of the situation if they
would combine, organize thoroughly, and
abide as honest men by the agreement.
The writer in the New Orleans ape fa-
vOrs the formation of a central council
in each county of every State where cot
ton is grown, which shall decide Just how
much land the planters shall put in the
great Southern staple. The movement
must be general. All the cotton plan
tiers must unite. The best farmers and
wlsest men in each county must COM
pose the council. A constitution and
bylaws must be adopted and enforced.
No farmer is to plant more than one-third
his previous crop. If he planted 100
acres he must not now plant more than
333333 acres. The writer says that this will
be the only remedy against future. over
production and loss, and he contends
that if his ends are carried out the plan
tiers will entirely control the cotton mar
ket of the world.
He is no doubt correct. The Star has
again and again insisted that by curtail-
ing h crop one-thira in three years cot
would sell from Is to 20 cents a
pound. If the reduction was two-thirds,
before four years every pound of Amer
cotton would fetch 25 cents. But

pending upon tobacco to the exclu-
sion of grain, meat, &c, which course
has already brought many OF the
farmers of Stokes county to the verge
of bankruptcy.
We take it for granted that he
draws a true picture of the state Of
affairs among the people OF whom ne
writes, but whether it be literally,
true or not, it is only a question OF
time when the great bulk OF those
who raise tobacco to the neglect OF
home supplies will be in the hands
of the sheriff and their property 60
under the hammer to satisfy claims
which they cannot meet.

GUILFORD COUNTY HORTICUL.
TURAL SOCIETY

The Guilford County Horticultur-
al Society met in Greensboro last
Saturday and after adopting a con
stitution and bylaws for the gov
eminent of the organization the fol-
lowing officers were chosen for 1886:
President-A. M. Smith.
Vice Presidential. A. Garvis,
Vreasurer-Henry Rust.
Secretary-W. HI. Mccormick, ST..
Executive Committee. S. Bagsdale.
Van Lindley, w. w. Patterson.
The following resolutions were adopt,
ed:
\ Resolued, That we, as shippers, will
c~onfine our shipments under the advice
ofthe executive committee, unless spe.
cial reasons exist to the contrary.
Resolved, That our association hold in
Greensboro in the month of May, 1886,
a fair for the exhibition Of small fruits,
to be held under the auspices of the ex.
ecutive committee.
Resolyed, That the executive commit
tee exert themselves to secure the best
rates of freight, adopt a style of crate for
general use, and recommend to the
members of the association the proper
commission merchants in the different
markets to whom to ship.
Mr.. j. Van. Lindley spoke of the fact
that this region was famous for it's fine
cherries, and stated that none of the
trees now in bearing were planted for
the purpose of profit, but for the use of
those who planted them. That the cher
ry region was confined to but a small
part of North Carolina, and that the belt
in which they grew most perfect was
confined to a radius of not more than %
miles in extent, of which Greensboro APP
peared to be the centre.
A letter was read from Mr.. G.. w.
Judd, of New York, recommending
stout-built, neat-made crates to ship
peaches in in preference to patent crates.
Mr.. Van. Lindley was selected as a
proper person to select or prepare a pa
per on horticulture to be read at the
next meeting of this association.

POPLAR TENT FAIR.

This fair was organized ten years
ago, and has been so ably managed
and conducted that it has been uni
formly a success, both as to exhibits
and finances. It has been noted
particularly for displays of fine cat
tie and horses, and it is confidently
believed that the exhibits in all de-
partments at the next fair, August
18th and 18th, will exceed anything
that has ever been accomplished.
We learn that a most liberal pre-
MUM list will soon be issued. The
officers say that they have a surplus
in the treasury.

HE WILL DO.

The name of Capt. S. B. Alexan-
der is coming to the front in eonnec-
ton with the Congressional nomina-
ton from the 9th district. While
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER does not
purpose to enter into the political
arena, it takes occasion to say that if
the choice fall upon S. B. Alexander
the district will have a representa-
tive of whom it may be proud, and
we say this without rejecting d.
rectly or indirectly upon the present
representative or any of the gentle
men whose names may be mentioned.
Capt. Alexander is not only a repre-
sentative farmer, but a nan of brains
and wide information, Of fine prac-
tical sense and business methods and
one who has served his State and
county several terms in the Legisla-
ture with signal ability.

A STATE ORGANIZATION.

The work Of organizing Farmers
Clubs is progressing h the State,
but the work R>not yet fairly begun;
Wherever the Nubjeet is preached
and the reasons PRESENTED in favor
of such organizatiohthe result is a
Club with a fair membership to start
with. The organization, however,
should not stop at township Clubs.
There should be both township,
county and a State organization:
The county Club should be composed
of delegates chosen by the township
Club, and the State Convention chos-
en- by the County Club, thus keep
ing up the connection and the rep
RESERVATION throughout. The town
ship Clubs should meet as often as
practicable, the County Clubs on@e
a month, and the State Convenfon
once a year. Thus the farmSfs OF
different portions of the county
would come frequently together for
conference, and the farmers OF the
State come together through their
representatives, once a year for the
consideration and discussion Of such
matters as interest the farmers OF
the State generally. Thus they
could act, in any matters in which
they had an interest, as n body,
and act intelligently and with effect.
There are many matters that in
terest the farmers of the State at
large upon which they should be
heard, and if heard their voice might
be obeyed; but without organiza-
ton they have no method Of speak
ing authoritatively, and consequent
ly their sentiments as a mass are
not fully and forcibly made known.
This is doubtless one Of the reasons
why the interests of the farmer as a
general thing receive so little atten-
ton in Legislative bodies, and why
their interests which are para
mount to all others, are subordinate
to all others. With proper organiza-
ton to make known and insist upon
their demands, they will be in a po-
sition to command that attention
which they never have and never
will command without such organi-
cation.
Such organization is not and need
not be political in it's scope, but as a
representative body will be author
lied to speak for the farmers, and
let public men who aspire to make
laws and direct affairs Of State know
what the farmers of the State need,
expect and demand.
The system is simple. There is
no machinery about. The township
Club simply selects one or o Of
it's members to represent it in the
county Club the county Club Sc
lects from it's members one or more
members to represent it in the State
Convention, and this Convention Sc
lects it's own officers, time and place
of meeting, publishes it's proceedings
and thus reports back to the county
and township Clubs. This is the
plan. SO simple that any n can un-
derstand it. Let the work go on
until the system is complete and the
farmers of the State have a perfect
organization to look after their w.
terests and speak for them. \

SENSIBLE TALK.
We clip the following from the
Reporter of last week:

We clip the following from the
Danbury Reporter of last week:
"We learn Mat a lawyer in this place
has $4,000 in Mortgage notes to collect
for a firm in Winston. These notes were
given, and mortgages made mostly for
small amounts, bAt in some cases, our
people cannot pay and must sacrifice
their property Tobacco, at one, two,
three and four dollars, does not pay off
mortgages fast, even if the amount is
small"
Whereupon the editor comments
as follows:
.'We cannot tell how many parties in, or
out of the county hold mortgages against
our people, but we do know that there are
a great many, and we further know that
tobacco, fertilizer, and mortgages are ruin
ing the people and impoverishing Stokes,
and if kept up will bankrupt the county.
We don't pretend to say what effect it
is having in other counties, but do know
as to Stokes. You can see for yourself
if you will just look back a few years
when we had corn in the greatest abund-
ance, plenty of wheat, -four, rye. oats,
peas, beans, potatoes, &C., and then we
had plenty Of money, and the county
was comparatively free from debts. How
is it to-day? What nave we got? In the
face of the best crop that we have had in
at least ten years if divided out we might
have corn enough, but that is all. We
have neither wheat, flour or bacon. Many
could not get rye or oats to SOW, peas,
beans, hay and fodder are not to be had
for love or money. Nori is this all there
is no money in the county to send off
for the supplies needed. Nor is this the
only evil OF the n crop system; tobacco
fertilizers, and mortgages, have brought
the county in debt from II end of it to
the other"
He then forcibly urges the people
to abandon the insane policy of de-
