SOFIA deep, mellow and well
drained soil is necessary. Good
groves can be made on quite sandy
land il attention is paid to fertiliza-
ton and the growing of nitrogen
gathering crops. Soils poor in lime
produce fruits with little aroma and
thick parings, therefore, on such
soils lime should be used. Spread
mineral fertilizers broadcast at the
beginning of the rainy season and
cover lightly. For young and well fer
tilted plantations, beans, corn, ETC.,
may be planted between rows.
FERTILIZATION not apply
fresh manure. Good compost is pre-
ferred. If the growth of wood is poor
and the leaves yellow, Chill saltpetre
may be spread after the rainy season.

THE TOBACCO MARKET
Tt Can BE Made the Biggest in the
State:

Is the Redeeming Feature of GoldsborO-
Tt Can Be Made the Biggest in the
State:
We are thoroughly convinced
that our people do not realize the
Importance of fostering. and push
ing more vigorously G%oldsboro as
a tobacco market. A few people
do realize the Importance of this
subject, but the rank and file of
business men do not.
Every little railroad station can
be a cotton market. Any mer-
chant can buy cotton and ship it
from the smallest towns and vii
lagos. Hence all the surrounding
towns compete with G%oldsboro in
the buying of cotton. This has
been the case ever since the equal
ization of freight rates some years
ago. 1t is true that farmers in
reasonable distance find it to their
advantage to sell their cotton at
Goldsboro on account of the SUI
perior inducements our merchants
offer in the way of very large
stocks of goods at attractive prices.
Then, too, Goldsboro has her own
adjacent territory, which of
course markets the cotton here.
But for reasons stated above,
we do not sell as much cotton as
we did twenty years ago. Now
We have the opportunity to more
than make good this 'loss.i It is
only the larger towns. advan<
tageously located, that can sues
coed in the handling of leaf to-
bacco. Goldsboro possesses all
of the necessary advantages, Of
railroad facilities, capital, and
good territory to draw from.
Yesterday the writer saw tobac
co on this market which came
from a remote part Of Johnson
county. With the proper efforts
we can have our streets lined
with tobacco wagons, which
would go to their homes loaded
with goods bought from our
merchants. Goldsboro can be
made the biggest tobacco market
in Eastern North Carolina. Why
not make it so? Many go ahead
towns have Chambers of Com
merce where the business men
get together to discuss matters
of this kind.
