PINE FIBRE BAGGING.

The Acme Manufacturing Company
have received all the machinery neces-
sary for the manufacture of pine fibre
bagging, and it is now being adjusted.
and placed in position at the factory.
By the 18th inst at the farthest,
everything will be ready and the manu-!
.facture Of the bagging will begin on
an extensive scale. A number of
capitalists from the North will then
visit the factory to examine thoroughly
into the process. They will remain a
week. or ten days and if convinced
that it is a success, steps will be i'm
.mediately taken to build and equip
factories throughout the pine regions
of the Southern States; and if this
plan is carried out quite a number will
be in operation in time for the next
cotton season.
The Acme Company are so thor
.oughly satisfied of the success of their
invention that they entertain no doubt
of their ability to enlist the cordial
cooperation Of the capitalists. This
will be very gratifying both to the
members and the friends of that cor
poration.- Wilmington Star.

THE ADVANCE IN FERTILIZERS

|NUR readers know that we have
Vsought earnestly to obtain the
facts as to the advance in the prices
of fertilizers. We have published all
that we could procure. We had the
pleasure of an interview with repre-
sentatives of the manufacturers !. of
some of the leading brands last week,
from whom we got the following
figures as to the cost of ingredients:
Take a~mmaontated matter, for instance.
Dried red blood cost last year So to.
1925 per unit; this year it costs
$2.75. P~hosphates (South Carolina)
costs this year $3.50 per ton more.
than last year; muriate potash S. per
ton o than last year; sacks cost
35 to 40 cents for 10 sacks more than
last season, making a total increase in
ammoniated fertilizers of high grade
So to 81 per ton more than last year.
We do not doubt the correctness Of
the above figures, but still the ques
tion remains, why this advance IN the
ingredients :? "a uoi.

SHALL WE STRIKE OUT ON
NEW LINESf

PROGRESSIVE FARMER
notes with supreme pleasure the
evident advance in the industry of
stock raising'i in our State. Gradually,
but surely, the conviction is growing
that with our. climate, the adaptability
of our soils to the successful cqltiva7
ton of cereals and the grasses and
our accessibility to the great markets
of the world, North Carolina should,
become a Igreat stock-grow1ng' State
It is a gratifying fact and wortRyof
note, that a gentleman from'aNew
York State, a farmer and breeder Of
blooded stock, recently visiteds the
farm of MI. VIC. Upchureh, ofrthis
city, and purchased one.of his blooded
Jersey bulls and shipped it to his New
York farm. This gentleman pro.
nounced Mr.. Upchurch's herd. the
finest he had ever seen. Mr.. UP,
church, during the past few days,
shipped to purchasers In the counties
of Sampson, Franklin and Wilson,
and Wilmington, in this State.
we note also that n of, the
Alliances in Rowan county has re-
solved to go into the business Of rails
ing, mules, horses and thoroughbred
cattle in the place Of SO much cotton.
When our Alliance brethren in the
South shall make up their minds to
make their farms sezfs~statnahmg, it will
do more to render them independent
and prosperous thanfall the organizar
tions that could be devised by the
brain of man.. THIS lies at the very
of the success of the ALI

STATE IT FAIRLY.

"Prof. J. F. Crowell, President OF
Trinity College, wrote an article to
the Nes6s and Observer on the question
.ofIa Railroad Commission before the
Legislature, opposing establishing
the Commission. The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER,and State Chronicle, have since
felt called upon to give him a lecture
on good behavior rather, and have
advised him to stick to his college
work, holding that he has not been in
North Carolina sufficiently long to ex-
press an opinion onamatters of State
policy: Granting the Professor was q
little hasty, those journals were equally
hasty and more ~.indiscrete and dis.
courteous in their. manner. of. dealing
with him and his communication.
What we saw was rather with i'll
grace. There is quite a difference in
a game of bluff and an argument.
Better that they had adopted the
latter and answered his argument. It
appears. after all that the Senate
agreed with the Professors and killed
the bill which he was opposing"
We clip the above from the States
ViHe Christian Advocate of the 9Th inst.
We do not believe that the Advocate
would do us an Intentional injustice.
We therefore cannot believe that it's
editor read our article in reply to
President Crowell. For its remarks
in the above clipping SO far as they
apply to The PRoGREssIyE FARMER,
are utterly unfounded. Our article
was as free from the prescription and
ascribed to it by the Ad-
Docate as was the intention and motives
prompted it. We accorded to
President Crowell the unquestioned
right to express his views as a citizen
IF our State on this as on any other
question, and we endeavored
o meet him fairly and squarely in the
field. of legitimate argument, just as
We would have done with any other
of our State. We trust the
Advocate will do US justice.

HNHE letters, communications, reso-
; Il buttons and editorial expressions
in our exchanges, which are crowding
our table, in ~referencesto the defeat of
the Railroad Commission bill, would, we
imagine, be exceedingly interesting if
not pleasant readingto those gentlemen
who voted against that great and i'm
portant measure. The Tar6oro South
says: "It can safely be said that
the bill was killed by the railroad
lobby and attorneys who are members
of the Senate" And further: "In
the next election the people will have
to look after their Senate" The David
son Dispatch says: ono two men were
ever more thoroughly committed to
the support of a measure than the
representatives of that county were to
a Railroad Commission" but we have
not room to notice specifically the now
fruitless complaints of our people.
They will be heard in the future.
We will have some excellent read
ing for our patrons as soon as we
can find space for the admirable
speeches made in advocacy of this
just measure by several of our Sena-
tors.

who are agents for Michigan and Wis
consin, and have their Office and head
quarters at 20 Lyon-st. The mill is in
successful operation, and is so cheap,
and at the same time so durable, that
nearly every farmer who sees the mill
wants one. In making this mill the
manufacturers object and aim
was to put upon the market a mill
simple in construction and especially
adapted for use on the farm. No
fancy mills are made with complicated
machinery, but one any person can
operate without It's getting out OF order,
and it IS guaranteed to do the work to
satisfaction. The mill Is equally well
adapted to grinding grain of any kind,
corn either sheiled or on the ear, and
IN these days of enlightened farming
when every one knows that much bet
ter results are obtained from feeding

ers who have the star Feed Nil should
meet with ready sale. Meloy * Rich,
