pared with 2764 In 1897 The number OF
seriously injured was 2sls. as compared
with 2427 in 1897.
Notwithstanding the war between the

Our Philippine correspondent, Mr.
Randall 81. RUSSELL, sends us q number
of Manila papers, which we have read
with N uah pleasure. From one of shem,
Freedom" we extract the following
article regarding bees in the Philip
pines, which we are sure will be read
with great interest by our bee raising
farmers:
There is one race inhabiting the
Philippines which should be well
come addition to American citizenship
and should receive every inducement
to emigrate to the Uoised S,ates.
1T is the giant honey bee, known to
science as Apris Dousata. It's immense
capacity for making honey and war
has interested men OF science here and
an early effort should be made by the
Department OF Agriculture to intro
duce it into the United States.
1T is nearly one half larger than
the American native honey bee, and
builds a comb, heavy with wax and
honey, five or six times as large as
those found in American orchards and
forests.
''They are found in the mountain re.
gions ell through India and have been
seen busily at work at attitudes of
600 feet in the Philippine Islands.
Their coloni, are most numerous 10
tho mountains aS the u1coasinO ounst
of the natives for their honey combs
has driven them from the unprotected
fiatlands of the coast TO the less thickly
inhabited ard more heavily wooded
mountain regions. The FIlipinos find
their daily bread a rather easy propo
sition. but they are very fond Of honey
on the staff of life. There is also a
large demand Coz the wex for use in
dyeing.
Tine big bees build their hives on
tall forest trees or on the overhaDging
ledges Of cliff. When undisturbed,
branch swarms build near the parent
colony, so that in few years an i'm
mense bee settlement often grows up
in the forest. The bees build comb
five or six feet long, four feet wide and
from seven eighths to one and cne half
inches in thickness.
In appearance the giant bee is a
smoky, glittering, irridescent black
wasp Ike figure, with orange bands en-
circling it's body"

WHeAT.GROWING-.THR OPPOR,
TUNITY FOR SOUTHERN
FARMERS.

Under the above heading, Prof. J.
B KIllebreW contributes to the Septem
Der Southern Farm Magazine an ar
ticle of special interest to Southern
farmers just at this time. While not
written specially for North Carolina,
our readers in this State as well as
those in other States can draw from
it many valuable conclusions now
that the wheat sowing season is almost
upon us. Prof. Killebrew says:
The time is especially opportune for
entering upon wheat culture In the
South. The discovery of large phos
phate beds will make commercial fer
tilizers cheaper than ever before in the
history of the world. GIano that was
discovered on the islands off the coast
of Peru in 1910 brought the yield Of
wheat in England in twelve years from
twelve bushels an acre to between
twenty eight and thirty bushels.
What guano did for England, the
phosphates will do for the South. They
will make it a great wheat-growiDg
region, The phosphoric acid, which is
the leading Ingredient in the phos
phate, is one of the very best, if not
the very best fertilizer for wheat.
Instances ase not uncommon in Vir-
ginia and Tennessee where the yield
of wheat has been increased within a
few years ficm four or five bushels
per acre to twenty or twenty five
bushels by the proper use of fertilizers
on ills that were thought totally
worthless for the growing Of that
cereal. Toe lands in many parts Of
the country that were held at small
value have rapidly increased in price
because of this development in the
growing of wheat.
Nor is there any reason why the
Southern people should not compete
successfully in the growing OF wheat
with any part of North America. The
soils are not only suited for the growth
OF wheat, but the climate is such as to
produce the very finest grain, and OF
such excellence and good keeping
qualities as to make the highe ST grades

Nothing is more encouraging to the
progressive farmers of the South than
to know that the production of wheat
has increased in the Southern States
from 50, 436, 80 bushels in 1889, to IT,
996, ,27O bushels in 1898. This is an in
crease of over 80 per cent. The largest
increase was made in Texas, Tennessee,
Maryland, Kentucky, Alabama and
Georgia. The most encouraging fea-
ture is in the greatly increased yield

The following statement shows the
yield per acre reported for the States
named for the years 1889 and 1898:

mental purposes about buildings and
gardens. As the trees in a plantation
begin to crowd each other many may
be removed with material advantage
to those that remain, care being taken
not to interfere with the shading of
the ground. The surperauous trees
often pay the cost of cultivation and
care for the plantation after it is once
established

Grouping the total number of acres
sown and the number of bushels pro-
duced in these six States, We find that
in 1889 there were 2. .875. .533 acres in
wheat, which produced 80. .944, ,675
bushels, showing a yield per acre of
IL 4 bushels. In 1898 the number Of
acres in wheat was 3 601 425, which
produced 1861, 9e3 bushels, giving q
yield per acre of IA bushels, an in
crease of 3 2 bushels per acre in the
aggregate OF these Southern States.
Now. let us compare these figures
with those of some Of the best wheat.
growing States of the Uuion, viz,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Ne
braska, Iowa and Illinois. In 1889
this group of States reported 1854. 6O2
acres in wheat, which produced &c.
154. 792 bushels, showing an average of
II bushels per acre. In 1898 the area
reported in wheat in these States was
10 459 acres, which produced 173 $685.
649 bushels, or fourteen bushels per
acre. In this comparison two States
in the South, namely, Georgia and Ala
bama, were included so as to get an
average yield for the Southern States.
Yet it appears chat the group of South,
ern States for 1889 yielded II 4 bushels
per acre, as against II bushels for the
group of Northern States at the came
period And in 1898 the group Of
Southern States reported a yield Of
IA bushels per acre. as against four.
teen for the group of Northern States.
These fgIres are all taken from gov
ernment reports and are presumed to
be correct and impartial. They dem.
onstrate without the shadow of doubt
that the soils of the Southern States
are as well adapted to the production
of wheat as those of the great North
west.
There are various reas 1ns why wheat
