correspondent lives. This is an inn.
portant matter in any advice about
tobacco, for the kind of tobacco a man
grows will to q great extent govern his
practices. I assume from what is said
about swamps and mari that he is in
the eastern coast region. But even
assuming this it is very hard to advise
as to the feeding of the crop without
some knowledge of the previous treat
ment Of the land. Fertilizers for the
tobacco crop should be selected with
greater care than for any other, as it is
easy to change the whole character Of
the crop by q change of the form in
which the plant food is given. Fertili-
zsr manufacturers use as q rule the
muriate of potash in getting potash In
their fertil z 3rs, and this is q form that
should never be used in the fertilizs-
ton Of the tobacco crop. Only the
high grade sulphate should be used.
There are various materials from
which nitrogen can be derived and
some of them are of very doubtful
value. Pulverizsd leather scraps will
analyze all right 80 far as their @
tanning ammonia is concerned, but
they will be of little use in the fertili-
zer since they are so slow in decaying.
Probably the best form in which to
get organic nitrogen in the shape of
ammonia is in dried blood. Cotton
seed meal we would rank next. Nitro
gen of a mineral origin in the form Of
nitrate of soda is the most readily
available form in which nitrogen car
be used, and probably the most expen.
sive. I would suggest that you use
most of your cotton seed meal in the
cotton field, and sell enough to buy
dried blood, acid phosphate and potash
for your tobacco. The following will
be found first class. Acid phosphate
900 pounds, dried blood 600 pounds,
nitrate of soda 100 pounds, high grade
sulphatP Of potash 400 pounds to make
q ton. Us this at rate of 1 600 pounds
per acre. The phosphate mari you
have will make q valuable application
on land for grain or grass, but is slower
in its action than the dissolved rock
phosphate.
Ihave long thought that in Eastern
North Carolina the growers should ex
pertinent with Sumatra leaf tobacco
for cigar purposes. OF course it takes
q vary difaPnnt oI1Po from tho hriOhk
tobacco, but il you can grow it as they
are doing in Florida there will be a
great deal larger profit than in grow
ing TIE kinds that succeed 80 we'll in
the northern counties.

I madeI it q practice TO visit q near
neighbor Of ours at least once q week
just to while away the time and to
wear off the blues. He was a good
farmer and we'll to do, and he always
had nice crops-mostly small fruits
he talked to me, encouraged me and
told me that the place that he then
owned, he had gone in debt for every
foot of. it, and by studying, reading,
thinking and working, had paid off the
last cent long ago. I would go home,
do better work, put q little more de-
termination in my work. 1 finally
paid out of debt, bought plenty of tools
and now farming is a pleasure. Think
it is a good plan for young farmers, at
least, to visit their up to date neighbors
and receive that inspiration that no
pen can adequately describe. I again
refer to home, which you will please
pardon, but I know more Of home than
any place else and as / said above that
every one to a man that reads good
agricultural literature ia succeeding
better than his neighbor, who does not
read. There are some neighborhoods
near by when farmers do not as a rule,
read and keep up with the times. We
recently had a friend to visit US from
such a neighborhood and he said to
me, "Well, why is it that you people
are doing better here than we are; we
have better LAM than you haveG' /
said to him, DO you farm because
you like farming, and do you read
literature along that line7" He saw the
point and said to me that he and none
o. his neighbors so far as he knew,
took any farm papers, but most every
one took some political paper. Now, I
believe that if we could induce even
Just one farmer in that vicinity to take
some good farm journal, read and fol
low it's advice, that it would not he
long until a change in methods of
farming would be wrought in that
neighborhood. Let US all hope that
the time will soon come when every
farmer will love his calling, love his
home and make it So beautiful that
our city friends will envy US and
the epithet, "hayseed" will no longer
be applicable to the farmer. o. course
it will take time to make our homes
beautiful and one cannot commence on
the bottom round and ascend the lad
der as fast as he might wish, but there
is pleasure and comfort in one doing
his best and looking forward tn some
thing better.-W. L. Moore, Parrish,
I'll, in Epitomist.

EFFECT OF GOOD AGRICULTU,
RAJ LITERATURE.

We think the time near at hand
when farmers will awaken to the fact
that farming must be carried on on
Pbusiness principles and that it is not
always certain that the farmer who
works the most hours or GUILTY. ates the
greatest mount of land, will in the
end be the most successful. o. how
we long to see farming raised to the
plane to which it so justly belongs. /
can see a marked improvement in the
borhood, and l know of no factor that
has had a greater jeff fence on better
methods employed that good sgricul
tural papers. I can remember only a
few years ago, hardly a nan in this
whole community took a farm paper
now quite a number take two or three.
I am safe in saying that each tarme-
in this vcinity that takes and carefully
reads some good farm paper, is doing
better than the farmer than does not
read, and ignores the so called ''book
farmer" l have come to the conclu
sion that the farmer who reads and
follows the advice of an up to date
agricultural paper, soon sees more in
farming, more in life, in fact all nature
seems to smile before him. One of my
nearest neighbors and l were recently
talking concerning the good that Ger
tain agricultural papers had done us.
I said to him that if there was no
~pecuniary good come from it, that the
business training and push that we
gave our children, would be ample re,
ward, whereupon he remarked: 81
think so Why, even Earnest bis oldest
sol takes more interest in farming
nov than I did five years ago." so you
see, friends, the good is lasting. If l
could see every farmer in this broad
land Of ours face to face, I would urge
him to take at least two or three good
farm journals, there is a stimulus in
reading what others have done and al
doing and by reading we become stimu-
lated to better efforts. Well do l re
member when l first began farming
for myself. We had only one horse
(5wo year DID, a poor rundown farm,
no tools, a little log cabin to live in.
and I would often become discouraged
