INVENTIONS NEEDED AT THE
SOUTH.


IWalter CLARK in Practical Farmer.l
The commo field pea-whether the
COW pea, clay pea, the unknown pea
or other variety-is the clover OF the
South. 1t will grow when clover Will
not. It will furnish more forage than
clover and will improve land more
rapidIv. It can be sown, when desired,
i'm q crop of corn, and thus improve
land without losing a years use OF 1t
for cultivation. At the North the pea
is coming into wider use in lieu Of
clover for forage and as a land I'M
proven This will furnish a growing
market for our peas as they will not
mature seed there. The great drawback
in the raising of peas for seed is the
great cost Of harvesting and beating
them out. At the North where beans
r largely raised, they have satisfac-
tory bean harvesters and threshers. In
ventive genius has always been equal
to the demands upon it. If some one
will invent a satisfactory pea harvester
and q good pea thresher he will not
only make a fortune for himself, but he
will bring back fertility to the South.
Tt will increase tenfold the growing OF
field peas, beside making a new crop
for us to ship to the North. These in
ventions will stimulate the growing of
field peas, just as the invention of the
cotton gin stimulated the increased
crop of cotton. Then, too, a good pea
nut thresher is badly needed for the
peanut crop. Picking off by hand is
slow and expensive, and none of the
peanut threshers invented so far are
satisfactory. They break and shatter
too many peanuts. The price of cotton
does not bid fair to go up. The new
are added every year in Texas will
continually overbalance the worlds
increased consumption. Then there is
the steadily-increasing production in
India, Egypt and Brazil. In Mexico
the cotton plant lives eight years and
produces two crops a year. Production
there has heretofore been small owing
to lack OF railroads and reliable labor.
This is being remedied. To compete
with a country which can produce six
teen crops of cotton from one planting,
is like using a muzzle loader against a
sixteen shooter. Besides all countries
south of us, irrespective of fertility,
and no matter how rich we shall make
our lands, have the advantage of us in
the length of season, We cannot over
come the disadvantage of our short sea-
sons for cotton. In North Carolina it
is doomed sooner or later to disappear
as a market crop. We can substitute
many things. Grass is very profitable
if the land is made rich enough, be,
cause it takes SO little labor. Two weeks
out of the ifty-two-one week in June
to NOW and one week later to bale up
is enough, while cotton Or tobacco
require the year round. The field pea
offers the advantage of abundant for
age, a steady improver of our lands, a
good fattener for cattle and hogs, and
q crop to ship North The drawback
in the great expense of harvesting and
preparing for market should be over
come. The South will reward with
wealth and honor the man who will
furnish the harvester and thresher
thai will enable us to increase tenfold
this crop.

coxeyisni Defined.

Says our esteemed free-trade con.
temporary, the Herald:
IL is of vital interest that "CoXeylsm," which
is merely a new name for sedition and lawless-
ness in a new form of development. should be
traced TO its source and origin. What nstigates
il? Who furnishes the fuel that keeps the fire
alive? Who stimulates the passion by which il
is inspired?
"Coxyism" is living, breathing,
walking testimonial of the country's
appreciation of an era of unprece-
denied prosperity" brought about by
the wisdom-puffed Democratic admin
istration. 1t is thank-offering of the
great and sympathetic American peo-
pie, who find the English language too
weak and inadequate to properly,
cogently, and sufficiently express their
approval of the course of the Ahkoond
of Democracy and his corps of bulg-
ing, teeming intellects which consti-
tute the law-making branch of his
administration. 1t is glorious hur-
raining, ripsnorting tribute to the Dem
ocratic donkey, who now stands with
his heels firmly planted in the stomach

that the Democratic Congress is not
yet through playing football with the
Nation. Its fuel is tie statute books
which Democrats are crowding with
measures dangerous to the country
welfare and prosperity.
"Coxylsm" is the much-talked.o of

the holiday Democracy pledged to
labor in exchange for votes. 1t is the
