TRUCKING AROUND NEwBERN.

A General Repors of Trucking and Farming
Conditions, and the Outlook in that Sec
ton.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The principal truck crops have been
marketed from about Newbern, and
truckers generally are disappointed
at the results. The crops have been
varied as to production, some yield
ing poor returns, and others bringing
in very poor prices.
Some fields of cabbage went nearly
one-half to seed what did head early
sold well, and this is the only crop
that has sold we'll, and the later ones
sold quite low.
Peas and beans sold so low that in
some cases the balance was against
the farmer.
The potato crop has disappointed
the farmers seriously. In most cases
in our county the crop was below the
standard, both as to quality and guam
tity, and the average per acre is
hardly above forty barrels of a
ketable potatoes, and these have sold
at from one to two and a-half dollars
per barrel, few at the latter price.
The strawberry crop was full and
good, and a few sold well, but it did
not last long, and only a few made
money on berries.
The ~canteloupe and tomato crop
r yet to move. The latter is now
starting, and is not promising much
thus far, but some of US are having
plenty of them to eat, and will do our
best to make a home demand, and
keep it supplied. And this is the great
consolation on the farm. We can
have a fine variety and enjoy it.

Alexander McIver, Jr., of Cum
mock, Chatham county, recently
sailed from New York City to Lon
don, where he goes to compete with
English engineers in electrical rail
reading in the city of London. He
graduated from the State University
in the class of 1890; taught three
years in the Bingham School at
Asheville and graduated from a
two years curse in electrical en-
glneering in Johns Hopkins Uni
versity in 1895. Since that time he
has worked in the Sprague electric
works in New York City and in that
service aided in making the electric
railways in Chicago and in Brook
lyn and in other electric works. He
was selected by Mr.. Sprague to go to
London, Glasgow, and Paris TO ex-
hibit his electric works in those
cities. Thus American skill completes
with European talent in the great
cities of Europe. The whole State
has cause for pride in the success of
this young North Carolinan. He is

MCKINLEY AND ROOSEVELT.

This is the ticket unanimously
selected by the National Republican
Convention at Philadelphia last week.
For two years or more no one has
doubted President McKinley's re-
nomination, and for several months
1T has been clear that Roosevelt was
the most popular man for Vice-Presi-
dent. He continually urged his
friends, however, not to push his
candidacy, stating he greatly pre-
ferred to run again this fall for re-
election as Governor of New York.
But the Roosevelt boom was on and
it became very popular among the
common people. For Roosevelt is
not very popular with the bosses be-
cause he is a hard man to handle,
having opinions of his own. Mark
Hanna did all he could to prevent
ROOsevelt's nomination last week
but in spite of Hanna and ROOsevelt's
own efforts, the boom grew and be-
came so Overpowering that by Thurs
day everybody had surrendered to
what was seen to be the inevitable,
Roosevelt himself a~cquiescing. He
was nominated unanimously at 2
p. m. Thursday just before adjourn
ment. Roosevelt has made a good
record in all positions he has yet
held, and while he will have little
influence as Vice-President, it is en-
coUraging that a clean and brave
man has been nominated. It was
his war record and influence on
the pivotal State of New York, how
ever that reconciled Hanna and the
leaders of the Hanna class to his
nomination. The picture given here
with was printed in the Progressive
Farmer two years ago and shows
Roosevelt as Colonel of the Rough
Riders.

PEACE LIKELY TO RESULT.

Filipino Leaders Will Use Their Influence
With Aguinaldo-MacArthur Accepts
Their Proposal.
MANILA, June 81 C.: 55p. m.)-Two
hundred Filipinos met this morning
in Manila to adopt honorable and de-
corOus methods for securing peace.
The results were submitted this
evening to General Macarthur who
accepted them.
The leaders of the meeting will
use their influence to induce Aguin-
aldo to accept the arrangement. If
they are successful, as they hope to
be, they believe Aguinaldo will issue
orders in conjunction with the
American authorities for the cessa-
ton of hostilities.

was convinced that he could obtain
Aguinaldo's sanction to a peace

A VALUABLE BOOK.

We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest $1.25 to better ad-
vantage than by sending that
amount to US for a copy of Prof. L.
H. Bailey's principles Of Agricul-
ture." This is a work which tells
the "whys and wherefores''-the
principles-Of the business of
farming. It is written by a man of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy. of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view Of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result Of his study.
There are many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has one been issued
which the average reader of this
paper so badly needs. The work is
handsomely bound, well illustrated,
clearly printed and contains 800
pages. Send us 81. 25 and geta copy.
We guarantee satisfaction.

CROP CONDITIONS.

The latest North Carolina crop
bulletin issued by the Weather Blu
reau at Raleigh, says:
Cotton is small, but looks healthy
and vigorous squares are forming
freely chopping to stands has been
completed some reports of injury
by lice were received from southern
counties.
Corn is growing rapidly, with some
early varieties in silk and tassell
much of the crop has been hilled or
laid by. Tobacco plants have prob
ably all been transplanted some
irregularity in stands and damage by
insects have been reported, hut gen
orally the outlook for the small crop
planted is favorable.
Late planted peanuts came up poor
ly on account of the dry weather, and
some replanting is necessary. The
shipments of Irish potatoes continue
to be heavy Melons are doing we'll

NATIONAL LIVE STOCK ASSOCIATIONS
ANNUAL REPORT.

The third annual report of the Ma
tional Live Stock Association. which
has just been issued by the Secre-
tary, is a record of the proceedings
of that organization during the e
ond year of it's existence, including
a complete report of the third annual
convention held at Fort Worth, Tex,
January 10th to goth, 1900. The
officers of the Association may be
pardoned for expressing feelings of
qualification at the progress made
and also for calling attention to the
possibilities of the future good work
to be accomplished.
From the day of it's birth this As
ISOLATION has constantly exhibited a
leaning toward modern ideas and
methods, and its policy has heen to
lead, not to follow. This will &C
count for the advanced position
taken by the stockmen who have
contributed to it's pages. In this
connection it may also be stated that
propositions advanced at the second
annual meeting, a year ago, and
which at that time were regarded by
some as wild-eyed and visionary,
are today accomplished facts. Who
can say that any of the topics dis
cussed at the last annual meeting
may not in any year become posi-
bilities, if not, indeed realities? This
is an age Of evolution and progress.
In no line is this more marked than
in the live stock industry, and this
organization but offers an opportun-
ity for the best brain and the best
thought to combine with the prac-
tical reality in developing an indus
try which for too long has been con
tent to exist, and has had no thought
of growth or expansion.
During the past year the organiza-
ton has grown and expanded. The
Federal Government has recognized
the possibilities contained in it, and
has reached out a hand of encourage
ment and assistance, all the more
welcome because SO badly needed.
With this friendly aid, we'll matured
plans r being put in operation,
which it is hoped will ultimately
place the live stock industry upon a
permanent and more practical basis.
But the work has only just COM
menced. The aid of every individ-
ua1 interested in live stock is needed
to carry on the work to the ultimate
success almost in sight. Results +
alrerdy being accomplished, but
there are greater results to be OBJ
tanned if the National Live Stock
Association is given the proper sup
port by the men who make the live
stock industry and who share in it's
rewards.
We trust that a Live Stock Associa-
ton will be organized in North Caro-
lima before the next annual meeting
Of the National organization. The
National Live Stock Association is a
success and North Carolina stock
growers should no longer shut their
eyes to the fact, but should push the
good work and share it's benefits.
Why not organize a Live Stock AS
ISOLATION at the next State Fair?
Who will lead?

does not spread. It has set in on
some trees, and they have rotted
badly. We have had ripe peaches
two weeks.
The apple crop is almost a failure
in our county not more than TWEEN
ty-five per cent. of a crop, if that
much.
Corn is looking we'll, and cotton is
getting somewhat over the cool, back
ward spell that hindered it.
We have harvested a fine r of
oats, and we farmers that lost our
hay and fodder last fall and had to
buy for the first time, could afford
now to pay the bill in nice sheaf oats.
One consolation the trucker has is
the second chance at his land for a
crop of corn, hay, peas, sorghum,
etc. These, if they do not sell for
much money, can be manufactured
into eggs, butter, lard, pork, ETC., so
if the truckers prospects r poor
this year he has some consolation in
his work, and by care, prudence and
perseverance, he can pull through,
and come out better than he went in,
with lots of experience to his credit,
