DAMAGED ALL CROPS.
Season of 1897 the wettest of the Ce

oedSoH or 1857 the WetteSt or the Gen.
 tury.
 J. H. Hale of Glastonbury, who is an
 authority on Connecticut fruit and oth- CT crops, writes as follows:
 The season of 1897 will probably go on record as the wettest of the century. The excessive rains, here in this sec tion of New England at least, have drowned out many crops on low flat lands and even on soils that are well drained or sloping so that the water runs freely, there is sickly plant growth, such as to cause a very se- rfous falling off, if not an entire fail ure, of many of our staple crops
 Of course where there has been standing water it is plainly evident that the plants have been drowned out, put on other lands, where this is not the case, it seems to me the main cause of weak growth is that the water has washed away the nitrogen as fast as It became available and so there has been nothing for the feeding roots to get hold of to develop plant and foliage growth.
 Many farmers have become discour- aged long ago, ceasing cultiva tion. This has certainly been a very great mistake, for if in every crop, where 1t IS possible to get a horse and cultiva- tor between the rows, the ground had been stirred every time there had been any sunshine 1t would have loosened and warmed the soil and stimulated a far better growth than has now been had. l am sure that many of the to- bacco fields in the Connecticut valley could have added 50 per cent. to their short crops by an expenditure of S10 or $l5 per acre in daily cultivation, even though some of the bottom leaves had been broken off in the operation
 Of course there are some fields so badly water-soaked that the horses could not wallow through them. but have in mind many fields that I have seen in half-dozen different towns in !, the valley, where it would have been possible to have stirred the ground daily almost up to cutting time and in the instances where I know of this being done there is plain evidence of it's profitableness.
 In the peach orchard usually cease i cultivation the latter part of July, for i whenever there is fruit crop upon the | trees the branches begin growing lower. | go that 10 work horses among them | knocks off considerable fruit, but the packed, soggy condition of the soil fhis | year has forced as to continue the culti- vation, and so through what sunny | days We have had in August, even down to the picking of the ripe fruit, we have two pair of horses and the Cutaway harrows working in the orchards, and I am sure for an the fruit that has been knocked off we have added to the size and color of what was left ten times the value of that lost; in fact, it has seemed to me that without this contin- nous stirring and warming of the soil nacfr sunny day t would have been impossible to have secured anything ike satisfactory fruit.
 We want culture in 6 dry time to help retain moisture in the soil and n wet soil it pays to stir the soil ,or the sake of drying it out. This 'ather contrary proposition is well un- ierstood by intelligent farm observers ut is not so much practiced as it ought p be-

Touching the communication of Mr..
W. B. Harker, of Maxton, elsewhere in
this we nave to say that the
synopsis of the remarks OF Rev. ]. H.
Page, at the recent Rockingham dis
trict conference, came to The Observer
from a perfectly responsible source.
The communication in question was
furnished by no syndicate and We re-
sent the suggestion that The Observer
is in any combination, or is being work
ed by any combination, for the purpose
of injuring anybody or anything. So
far as Mr.. Page is concerned, if he
made any apology for anything he had
said on this occasion, We have no doubt
that he did what a manly and Christian
man ought to have done. That he re-
tired from the broad position of friend
illness to the university, which he had
taken, we do not believe. We shall take
it to be a bad day for North Carolina
when in any audience any man can as
sault u honOred university and go
unehallenged and if we were giving ad-
vice we would say to those who are
trying to compass it's destruction hat
they nav a file. No matter what par
ty or parties may hereafter control the
state, it will never have a. legislature
in which the North Carolina spirit is so
low that the university.'s enemies in it
will number a MISUNDERSTANDING OBJ
