A good deal has been said and writ
ten about the strawberry crop, the
peaches and early vegetables Of East
Tennessee, which are shipped out by
the car load, in season, to Northern
and Western cities. 1t is good in
dustry and paying one, but its value
to the people does not equal the poul-
try product. There is more money to
the producers in the latter than there
is in the thoroughbred horse industry,
or the cotton crop of the State.
Tennessee poultry keepers are fast
utilizing purebred stock for practical
purposes, and thus adding to their in
comes and the poultry product of the
State.
Statistics show that Tennessee is
the leading poultry-growing State of
the South, and that she ranks third in
the Union, New York and Indiana
outranking her. We think the next
census will show her to be the banner
poultry State Of the Union.
We believe in purebred poultry, and
we hope to see the day when it will
rule the roost, and the old rusty mon
grel take back seat.

THE COLORED MEN PRAISE
VANCE.
Ws-Obseryer- Chronicle. |
WASHINGTON, April goth,

WAsHINGToN, April goth, ga.
Waiting until the great griet and
lamentation caused by the death Of
North Cardinals most illustrious son
Hon. l.. b. Vance, in accepting the
tribute paid to his memory both by
the people and the press, yet as one |
wish TO remark in behalf of the col
ored people of our State that they can
not fail to lift their voice in highest
praise in honor Of the act and deed he
did them when he became Governor
Of our State in 1877 he was the first
man ever to recommend to the Iegis-
lature all appropriation for the build
ing of four graded schools for the ed
ucation of colored youths two in the
East and two in the West.
AT that time the Colored people
were almost totally destitute of the
most common school facilities at that
time, Mr.. Editor, the unfortunate por-
ton of our race, such as the insane, crazy
and totally mental deranged, could
be seen on the side OF every road, ly-
ing under the trees in the woods,
without shelter or food, but in a short
time after Mr.. Vance had become
Governor he recommended TO the
Legislature an appropriation for the
building of an asylum for the special
benefit Of the colored people. And
to-day in the city OF Goldsboro there
stands one of the grandest institutions
of the kind in the South, which viii
ever reflect imperishable honor upon
the name of L. b. Vance as long as
his deeds and commendable public
service will be held sacred in the
hearts of grateful people; and right
here | will say that | canvassed our
State in 1876 for Vance for Governor,
Jarvis for Lieutenant Governor, lI!den
for President. So the whole people
can see that was right in that dark
day. So let the colored people d. As
| have done, and am still doing.
Then they will make other sir'ng
friends among the best and most in
fluential class of white people.
TO the memory of L. B. Vance, in
behalf of his grief stricken family, |
will say that his loss among men is
found among angels.
Deep in our hearts his cherished image
lies,
Deeper than pearl on oceans soundless
floor,
Where the bold diver never can explore
The realms over which the mighty bill
lows rise,
1t rests far hidden from all mortal eyes
And not even discovered when the pierre
ing light
OF morn illumines the uncurtained skies
And fill with sunshine the dark vault of
night.
Repose in me the keeping of the name OF
Il. B. Vance,
And nothing shall betray it.
No, I'll bend this human fabric to its
native dust
But nothing shall that name erase,
Which to my heart is nearer, dearer, far
Than the lustre of any sun, moon or star

Blight of Tomato and Potato.

Can you tell me what is the reason cannot
raise tomatoes and Irish potatoes: The tomato
ready to ripen, then they die The soil is rich
light loan.
The potato vines flourish until they ought to
have potatoes them. then die. All the vines
do not die but when dig them there are scarce
ly any potatoes, and what there are are small
and knotty.-J. +. H., Brinkleyville, N. c.
answered by w +. Massey, Horticulturist,
N. c. Experiment Station
Your plants suffer from the bacterial
disease known as Southern Blight"
which is the great drawba to tomato
culture in all Eastern North Carolina.
1t is the same disease that effects the
Irish potato, near relative of the to-
mato 1t also attacks watermelons to
some extent The first sign Of it to
an ordinary observer is the sudden
willing of the whole plant, usually at.
ter it has developed to good size. But
before it reaches this stage watery
spots can be found on leaves and stem,
that under the microscope are found to
be swarming with bacteria. If one of
the wilted plants is cut off you can see
with the naked eye that the growing
tissue under the epidermis or bark is
brown and dead. We will experiment
with spraying mixtures to prevent it
this season and hope for good results.
Tomatoes are more liable to it than
Irish potatoes, and potatoes along side
of tomatoes will be affected more than
those removed from the tomatoes. 1t
is recommended to spray with Bordeaux
mixture from very young state of the
plants in the seed bed until they are in
full bloom. about three times. We
would advise making the Bordeaux
mixture weak, at least for first spray,
say so gallons of water. For potatoes,
spray the potatoes before planting, as
soon as up, and again when in bloom.
When d tomato plant shows signs of
the disease pull it up and burn it at
once. Avoid planting where these
plants grew the year before.

AduIterated Cattle Food.
Many people in North Carolina wlso
feed stock, purchase wheat bran. In
all the towns where there is no local
mill, this bran is purchased by the ton
or car load from western mills or whole
sale dealers who have taken 1T from
producers Some Of this bran gets to
it's consumers badly adulteratec. Re-
Gently out of some bran purchased from
a distant place and offered for sale at
Raleigh was found the following: In
ground kernels of wheat, oats, cookie,
chess or cheat and several other varie-
ties of weed seeds to the amount OF
10, 90 per cent of the whole on the sup
position that all was like the sample
bound drawn. Some of the light wheat
kernels on examination were filled with
q dark powder which was prOba bly,
go-vera) one of the worst pests Of wheat
growing localities.
The cookie seed Uychnis githago)
was present to fine amount of 2.77 per
cent, or in other words this bran con-
tanned 55.4 pounds of cookie seed per
ton of bran. Chess, Or cheat, tBrOmus
secalinus) formed l.01 per cent of the
mixture called bran which held 20,3
pounds of chess per ton.
On the Experiment Farm where the
stable manure has been weighed 1T was
found that four mature horses with one
colt, fourteen cows two bulls, one old
steer and three swine produced fifteen
tons of stable manure per month. At
a moderate estimate for bran IA tons
would be consumed by this stock per
month. Thus the u tons of stable
manure would be stocked with seed
enough to insure a fair stand of weeds.
Those who feed this kind of bran should
invest in weed killing implements, for
they are sure to be needed, not only
this year but continually for some time.
There ought to be penalty for adul-
teration, especially whore the foreign
matter may do as much harm as weed
seeds are capable of doing. This prac-
tice should warn purchasers to be par
ticular to buy by sample and to accept
nothing poorer than was shown in sam
pie. 1t makes an argument for an
honest local miller, who if he offers
weed seeds will tell you what you are
buying and grind them, SO you will not
be burdened by future weed crops.-F.

SOWING AND REAPlNG

For bloom we sow one sort of feed.
Another answers hunger's need.
Weeds only propagate their kind,
But leave abundant seed behind,
Which, if you scatter needless, know,
You're sure to reap just what you sow
A youth, industrious and pure.
With noble aims, is promise sure
Of proud achievements heritage,
OF worthy manhood, honOred age,
And, doth the harvest ripen slow,
You're sure to reap just what you sow.
A las youth often is too proud
TO see the needs of heart or mind,
A wilderness of tareS appears
Sure fruitage of the wasted years.
From evil seed good will not grow,
