he copiesdrom the Bulletin all of the
brands with a very few exceptions,
which are deficient In one or more of
the three ingredients-available phos.
Fphoric acid, ammonia and potash.
Calculating frompthese deficits alone
he estimates the corresponding valua-
ton as losses to the farmers. This is
all right so far as it. goes, but the
trouble with "Pro Bono. Publico" is,
that he does not go far enough.
| have taken the trouble to care.
fully verify the table of deficits that
was printed in The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER and to see that all the valua
tons we're calculated Alright. Several
serious errors were discoveries in two
cases the analysis showed a surplus in
stead of deficits, and in several the
deficits we're much larger than a cor
rect calculation showed. .
In order that the reference to the
table may be fully understood it is
given below exactly as it<appeared in
last weeks FARMER. The mistakes,
however, have been corrected and do
not appear. The original table did
not include the heavy type and was
consequently very apt to, be mis1ead-
ing to its readers, asait seems to have
been to the writer himself.
If the table had included a con
sideration of all three Ingredients
available phosphoric acid, ammonia
and potash, a comparison would have
beenzmeres equitable and just. A part
alone1of anypurchase should never be
considered. The remaindeF4n nj show
material so different as TO entirely
counter-balance the effect Of that part.
1T is SO in this instance. faji
Taking the identical Station mum
bers used BY" Pro Bono Publico" to
prove the deficits, I have calculated
and give below the surplus in the
other ingredients, and the equivalent
in valuation. This is given in heavy
type in the table. The remainder of
table in ordinary type is the same a
appeared last week. Remember that
not one Of these heavy type appeared
in the table of the article referred to-.
The column of gain was not included
in the original table. Was not the
omission of this column of gain mis-
leading?
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1889-04-30
By comparing the gain and loss

BY comparing the gain and loss
columns, it will he seen with some
few exceptions that the gain column
more than counter balances the loss.
These exceptions, emitting half a
dozen cases, show losses so trifing as
to be about negligible. The most
noticeable of these losses are seem in
No. 5405 and Nos, 5525 and $500. Il
may as well. state here that these
brands, have not escaped observation
and are now under investigation. ..e
But "Pre Bono Publicoa again
stops too .soons He neglects to adeciT
pher the surplus in any .ofthe other
analyses. II heghad felt disposed to
look on the bright side of things, he
might have calculated the valuation
equivalent to the excess Of percents
over the guaranteed ic1aim In any of
the other analyses. Take 54O2 for
example, he wouldshave found an ex-
cess valuation of $2.61, or in 5535
where $4.O9 would have been discov-
cred, With a little dynamite he might
have iunearthed No. 1895 with an ex-
cess of S7-O9. SIR
In fact to be more explicit, out of
the ll9 analyses claiming available
phosphoric acid, rs are o6oVe the
guaranteed claims. La the SO analya
ses claiming ammonia, SO show more
than. is claimed. In 102 analyses
claiming potash SO of them show an
eacess over guaranteed claims. Yet
this pleasant fact failed to receive the
serious consideration of "Pro Bono
Publico." And in most Of the cases
where the claims are not reached in
one ingredient, it is more than com
pensated by the excess in the other
two ingredients.
By his reasoning the excess valua-
ton ranging all the way up to 81
and more is a gain to the farmer,
and should be considered as so much
surplus money in his pockets. And
this is true.
This is one way in which it is con
sidered that the Experiment Station
has been Of benefit to the farmers.

DIR. BATTLE REPLIES TO "PRo
!" - BONO PUBLICo.", i
April Is, 1889.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-"Pro Bono Publico,"
in your issue of April 22nd., wishes
to know on what lines the Experiment
Station has been of benefit to the
farmers of the State in regard to the
fertilizer control exercised by it.
I will not at present go into a gen
eral discussion of the good the Expert
ment, Station has accomplished in the
s~uppressing of fraud by detecting
spurious chemicals in the State, in the
marked increased since its establish
ment in the quality of the commercial
fertilizers on sale in the State, and the
marked decrease of cost per ton to
the farmers during this time.
l consider these are as well estab.
lished as facts and figures can make
them.
But to take up the difficulty, "Prc
Bono Publico" finds in regard to the
analyses recently published in Bulletin
624, of the Experiment Station. He
says: "Is it to our benefit or otherwise
that it should contain so many brands

viewssas to1the duty of the farmers OF
thes South in this important matter.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMERf hazards
nothing in saying that the AIllsnce
men of North Carolina will be foapd
among the foremost and frrnest IN
resisting this conspiracy. There is a
limit to all things, even to the for
bearance and patience'of our smooth,
going, conservative farmers. And IT
very much mistakes the character and
temper of our brethren throughout
the South, if they fail to give an ear
nest and enthusiastic support to any
and all measures which may be de-
vised for crushing out this arrogant
and exacting monopoly. We rejoice
that the meeting has been called, for
we cherish the belief that it will result
in demonstrating to the world that
the wealth producers, yet have some
rights, which even high-handed, AFRO
CANT monopoly, must respect. If con-
gress nor State Legislatures will heed
their cry for relief, they must appeal
to their own resources and the God OF
justice. and we rejoice In the belief
that the appeal will not be in vain:

( WHY NOT?

I'VE call special attention to the
w suggestion of Diamond in
another column as to the utilization OF
cotton butts as a substitute for jute
butts in the manufacture of bagging.
The Progressive FARMER is most
favorably impressed with the sugges,
Gon and is inclined to the opinion that
IT'S esteemed correspondent, who is a
successful and intelligent farmer, has
&cHt the Gordian knot" Why not =?
The fibre or inner bark is strong and
soft. Some process for separating it
from the woody parts can be readily
devised Machinery can be had for
spinning and weaving it. We have
new seen a prettier pulp paper than
IN specimen made of the wood of the
cotton stalk, If the bark and the
wood can both be utilized, an impor-
liant additional value is given to this
wonderful plant. What is now re-
Rsrded as worthless would at once
begin to save farmers five to seven
millions dollars a year in the single
article of bagging.
Again, the stalk cutter as suggested
by our, correspondent, could be fol,
lowed with a turn-plow, two burrows
TO the row, and completely bury the
tops, limbs, leaves and other vegetable
matter; thus getting it out of the way
and putting it in the best condition
For decomposition and for plant-food
Tor the next years crop. Then the
way would be clear for the gathering
of the butts or stubs. A machine for
this purpose could readily be devised
by which they could be taken up,
cleared of dirt and deposited in heaps
at certain intervals for the carts or
Wagons; or better still, an attachment
could be arranged for a cart by which
the stubs could be pulled up and de-
posted on the cart as /; moves. But
1hese are matters of detail and of
minor Importance. The question is:
As the suggestion Of u correspondent 10

Why would not the machinery now
used'for spinning and weaving jute,
do the same work with the cotton plant

MODEST NORTH CAROLINA.

TROM "Regimental Losses in, the
A merican Civil w ar" by Col. VIM.
r. Fox, and published by the Albany
Publishing Co., Albany, N. Y, a
writer in the Philadelphia Press has
CLEANED the following interesting sta.
tistics:
"This is the book of revelations as
to both sides in the civil war. On the
Confederate side North Carolina lost
more soldiers in killed than any South
ern State. The following was the
loss in killed of several of the Confed,
crate States: North Carolina, 1882;
Virginia, 1928; South Carolina, 9, lS7,
Georgia, 1858; Mississippi, 5,8O7.
North Carolina also led the list in the
number that died of wounds, and TO-
602 of her sons died of disease to
6,947 Virginians. The sons of other
States did more talking, but North
Carolina evidently did by far the
most fighting. Her military popula-
ton in 1861 was 1850, but she
furnished 125, 900 men to the Con
federate cause. The per centage Of
loss in killed and wounded was twice
as great in the Confederate army as
in the Union armies. At Gettysburg
the 26th North Carolina, of Petit;
CREWS, Brigade, went, into battle with
over 500. men, and lost 58S in killed
and wounded and l20 missing, most
of whom were also killed or wounded.
Most of this loss occurred in the first
days fight, where the regiment met
the l5lstcP Pennsylvania and Cooper's
Battery. The Pennsylvania regiment
lost 325 in killed, wounded and miss
ing at Gettysburg. The 26th North
Carolina had only ZIG men left for
duty when it went into Longstreet's
assault on~the third day, and on the
following day but 80 men were left.
On. the first day Captain Tuttl9Soom.
pany went into action with FhReestmJ
GERS and "a men. AL the ofice4sSXd
SO of the men were killed or wounded.
On the same day Company. G, of the
l1th North Carolina, lost two officers
and thirty-four out of thirty-eight
men killed or wounded. Capt. Bird,
of this company, and the four remain
ing mel then went into what is popu-
larly called Pickett's charge. The
fag-bearer was shot and Capt. Bird
brought out the flag himself. This
was the severest regimental loss. dur
ing the war. The per centage of regi-
mental, brigade and division losses of
the Confederates were terrible"

the negro problem here. The negro
is here not by his own seeking. He
did not ask to be brought here. His
bearing has been commendable, ard
we most cheerfully bear testimony to
it, but in the light of surround
ings, we feel that it would have been
far better for our race and for our
dear Southland, if the first ship that
brought him to shores had come
laden with wal, pestilence, famine and
death. It is not his freedom, not his
social or political status that is the
trouble, but his presence, for none of
which is he to blame. He is here an
Incubus solid, dead barrier to our
progress, and keeps the white man
away. He is, and will ever remain,

Nh EDIToR:-Suitable material for.
manufacturing bagging is an important
question now for the cotton planters
of the South. We have an ample
supply Of the best material on earth
for making our bagging, and enough
to spare to make rope to hang
every rascal in the wide world.
/ refer to cotton stalk butts. After
our cotton is gathered, say lst
to 18th of November, and about
the time of killing frost, run a
stalk cutter over the rows, plow
UP the stubs and roots, dry and bale
them for shipment to the bagging fac
tories. Suitable machinery can sepa-
rate the bark from the woody part of
the stubs and roots; the bark can be
carded and spun in threads of suitable
sizes for bagging. The woody part
is white and would make a superior
article of writing paper. At g low
estimate, one acre would furnish
enough material for 100 yards of bag
ging. A bagging factory should be
established at convenient points for
shipment. Let us think and talk
about it, and organize stock com-
panies and get the machinery and
buildings ready for operation by the
first of December next.

A Hundred Tons OF Money.

1t hardly seems possible that the money
paid in one month for ten cent article,
could, II pennies were used in payment,
weigh one hundred tons. Yet one of our
bright school boys has figured that this is
true of Diamond Dyes. TO judge from the
stocks of our dealers in dye stuffs, Diamond
Dyes own the field of package dyes, and are
a complete success. OF course they have
imitators. ''Nothing is success until imi-
tated" But no one wants to risk acounter-
felt when the genuine can be obtained at the
same price. Three new colors have lately
been added to the list of Diamond Dyes:
Fast stocking blue, turkey red for cotton
and brown for cotton. The manufacturers,
Wells, Richardson & Co., Burlington, VT,
will send colored samples of these new dyes
with book of directions, to any address free
of charge. The beautiful sample book of
shaded colors, lately sent to all dealers in
dyes, will delight the eyes of any lady.
