WE CANNOT DO IT.

We are constantly receiving letters
from our brother farmers, in and out
of the Alliance, Democratic and Re
publican, criticizing or commencing
certain partisans or partisan methods
and asking us to publish them. The
editor of this paper has his political
convictions and will act upon them
just as every good citizen should do.
And while The PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
as the organ of the Alliance, is in duty
bound to discuss political questions of
an economic character-questions
which rise above considerations of a
mere partisan character, and in which
all citizens have a direct interest, yet
it must and will close it's columns
against those questions which are
ordinarily the fuel with which political
partisans and aspirants keep alive
their party fires. We have over NJ
hundred papers in North Carolina
which are strong partisan papers, and
which will cheerfully accommodate all
who desire to deal in such discussions.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER is first the
friend of the farmers and the indus
trial classes of our State and section.
and will not be drawn away from
them and their interests to discuss
party questions. It will hold itself
free to commend what it ~conceives to
be right and for the good of the peo-
pie and to condemn what it conceives
to be wrong and against the people.
We therefore beg most respectfully
to be excused from publishing such
matter as belongs strictly to political
or party papers.

S~TEEDsyILLE, N. c., june 18 '88.
Mr.. EmToR:-The preservation OF
our farms from gullies and unsightly
gals is a subject upon which our
formers could spend much profitable
thought. It hurts me when [ see the
once fine plantations of our farmers
washing away;~the gullies steadily en-
croaching upon our best fields. If for
no other reason, we eught-te have too
much pride to leave badly washed and
unsightly farms for our descendants
to- occupy. Brother farmers, take
more pride in your profession. Let
each n try to have the best farm.
Have system in your work. Plant a
certain number of acres Of each crop
and make those acres produce the
amount desired. Manure everything
you plant, and manure it with aolast-
ing manure, n that the crops will
feel after the first year. Commercial
fertilizer has no business on poor land,
land devoid. of humus. It is a good
thing in it's place, but it's place is so
seldom found:. We must learn to
make one acre produce the amount
we now make on two. The intensive
system is the system for us to follow.
1t is the right system if labor was
abundant. But with us labor is scarce
and we must adopt it or have badly
prepared and cultivated crops. Have
a few acres we'll MANFRED and we'll
prepared and we a rely with conf
dence upon a good yield.
Now, brother farmers, here is the
point at which many of us stumble:
because we make good application
of manur this year we feel that it
ought to last and answer for next
year. That won't do. Didn't you
eat a hearty dinner yesterday? I'll
wager that you will feel that it would
be unjust if your good wives were to
say to each of you, "No, you mustn't
eat to-day; I fed you well yesterday
and that must last two or three DAYS.
[ know you are hard worked and don't
get any rest, but you must recollect
that l fed you yesterday" Brother
farmers, you treat your land-your
capital-that which supports you, and
OF which you must obtain your
sustenance, upon the same principle.
Is it just !; is it right that you
should waste away and impoverish
the lands intrusted to you? Remem-
Der that your children will one day
have to till the soil that you have i'm
poverished or improved. I ask you
seriously, which shall it be?

five other leading pursuits of industry
combined, only, make up the "a per-
cent. Therefore this toiling and brain
element should proportionately pre-.
dominate in all the 1aw-makine and

profession whose relative proportion
is a mere modicum.

EXAMINE INTO THE MATTER.

The taking of oysters from the
natural oyster beds of North Carolina,
by non-residents of the State, is pro.
nounced larceny, and is punishable by
fine and Imprisonment in the State
~penitentiary. This law stands upon
the Statute books of the State, but it
is said to be so nearly a dead letter
that it is frequently violated with i'm
punlty. Some weeks ago, a CORES
pondent in Hyde county, writing the
Elizabeth City Economist, called atten-
ton to the violation of the statute in
that county, by non-residents from the
State of Virginia, and it has since
been learned that trespassers upon the
States oyster beds have also come
from other States and violated the law
IN this State. The Economists :infor-
nation is to the effect hat thirty ves-
sells have been trespassing upon the
oystef round at n time, n that a
thousand bushels of oysters could
have been removed by them in a single
day. The editor says that the oyster
rocks OF Pamlico are indeed extensive.
but that, at this rate, they will soon
be entirely exhausted, and, conse-
quently, oyster planting in North
Carolina will be suspended and immi-
grafton to, the State for the purpose
of oyster culture will cease.
The bare mention, through the
press, of the above state of affairs
mould be sufficient to secure prompt
effective measures on the part of
The powers that be to put a stop to
such outrages.

EDITOR FARMER.-Sw:-I want to
further call the special attention of the
people and u law-making power to
the subject as brought out by "a
farmer in last-week's PRoGREss1vE
FARMER-that of the injustice of our
criminal law as it now operates against
the loser of property. Even where the
proof is convincing, and the thief con-
v1cted, of what real benefit is the fact
to n party losing by the theft. How
IS he benefited by the conviction and
incarceration of the thief in the prison
or penltnntiary for a number of years D.?
Does he thereby in any way recover
his loss? rse-
Here is a fine opportunity for our
people to improve the criminal law so
that 1t may be Of some real intrin-
SIC III to the loser of property;
to assist the State in the arrest and
conviction of a thief that does not now
exist, as the law now stands, and it
oehooves u people to make some
owe IN this particular case. Let it be
SO amended that where there is a theft
ana the property is not recovered that
Inc guilty persons shall be taxed by
the court to the value of the loss of the
stolen property in addition to the fine
imposed tor vaolataon of the Iaw and the
court expenses; this sum to go to the
loser. 1t is nothing but justice that
this act be in force as a part of OH
laws against thefts, for the benefit of
the real loser, as well as for the salts
faction of the law.
1t Is right to fine and imprison a
thief for stealing an article in defiance
Of the law, then how much more so #
would be to do it in defence of the
party who loses all that is lost and who
receives not a red cent. but the
lawyers and the court officers get
their pay for the hearing and trial of
case. The loser RECEIVERS his loss
n the knowledge that the law is an
oeased, etc.
Let our Alliance members consider
his feature Of our law and take some
thereon; it is a step in advance.
Our poorlooking crops are renew
nlg themselves and look much better
lnce warm dry weather set in.

THE FINGER-BOARD TO sue
CESS.
"He who runs NAV read"

1t will be remembered by the read
ers of The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, that
we published two years ago, the yield
OF hay obtained by Capt. B. P. VIII.
Hanson, from n acre of land, on his
farm near this city. We remember
the c~ommendable interest with which
our brethren of the press copied and
repeated the statement, that here in
central Carolina, 1851 pounds of
cured hay had been harvested from
n acre of land. He has just har-
vested
~FIFTY-ONE TONS OF HAY FROM "a ACRES,
the first cutting. Twenty years ago,
ten years ago, it was thought that
the cultivated grasses could not be
grown successfully and proftably in
central Carolina. There are thousands
of our farmers to day who, laboring
under this delusion, are wearing out
splendid grass lands, in corn, cotton
and tobacco, buying Western mules
with which to work it and buying
Western hay on which to feed them.
But says one, Capt. Williamson ma
nures his lands and makes it rich.
True, and every man must and can do
the same. Yes, Capt. Williamson,
like all successful farmers, manures
his land. We have seer him at it.
We have watched his methods. He
is our door neighbor. Almost every
day we notice that he goes out to his
farm and takes with him each time
from four to sac pounds Of splendid Brain
Fertilizer, and his magnificent crops,
his superb cattle and horses, his splen-
didly equipped farm in all it's appoint
ments, show what this fertilizer will do.
So greatly were we impressed with
his success and so important his
achievements that we sought an inter
view with Capt. W. and we give his

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Again we want to say to our CORES
pondents that they must give us their
real names If they expect US to publish
their articles. We must have their names
as a guarantee of good faith. And again,
we must ask u friends-all-to CON

down. We are anxious to give as great
variety as possible to our readers, and to
do this the articles should be short and to
