NORTH CAROLINA FARMING.

Crops in Hyde, according to the
Washington Progress, are the finest
that they have been at this season
of the year for many years and the
people are in high spirits.
The wheat crop in the Dakotas,
Minnesota, and other northwestern
States is very short and flour has re-
Gently advanced 35 cents per barrel.
But this fact has no terrors for
farmers that have their share of the
great wheat crop just harvested in
this State.
Corresponding Editor Emery writes
us from Asheville: There have
been copious rains in the last few
days in all the section through which
we have been. From Raleigh to Char
lotte and Asheville crops are looking
thrifty but cotton is late. Haying
of the later cultivated grasses is now
in order for the coming week in
the mountains. :"
From every section of the State
comes news of unusually fine wheat
crops which the heavy rains before
the end of the harvesting and housing
period, however, damaged some.
The ROanOke-ChOwan Times re-
ports a good oat crop also except of
rust-prOOf varieties killed by last
winters freezes, in its sections-oats
much damaged by smut, however.
The Statesvillle Landmark says the
Iredel wheat crop is immense, some
place it at 75,O 900 bushels. The best
farmers Of Cabarrus say that there
has been but one year since the civil
war that equals this 1900 for a wheat
crop, and that was 1882.
In our last issue we gave an item
from High Point newspaper CORES
pondent saying that Guilford farm
ers are buying much farm machin-
cry. Webster's Weekly of Reidsville
has made the same encouraging dis
CONOAO y 1OSC'I u111S ACOCh111S9u 9u6LIl ldEIu-
ers. From its issue of the 18th we get
this item: "An encouraging sign of
substantial progress is the quantity
of agricultural machinery the farm
ers are buying. They are using
drills, sulky plows, disc harrows,
binders, etc., in their
work.. e., the swide-awake ones
are-and are thus saving money. It
has been no uncommon sight the
past week or two to see a farmer
driving out of town seated on a
reaper and binder. Intelligent farm
ers are at last aroused to the impor-
tance of utilizing the facilities which
inventive genius has placed at their
disposal for multiplying the effective
ness of labor" And the Weekly
might have added that there is no
better sign of agricultural progress.

THE BEST USE OF srUBBIE LAND.

It doesn't pay to let the land from
which you have just harvested wheat
er oats lie unproductive till next
spring-not unproductive, either, for
it will certainly be growing a crop
of noxious weeds with heavy crop
of weed seed, which means extra eX-
pense and much annoyance with
the next crop planted on this land.
Far better use can be made Of your
stubble land
If your pastures are poor and va
riety of soiling crops needed, read
Prof. Johnson's s article on page 1 and
adopt the suggestions there made
grow enough peas, millet and sor-
ghum to tide over the season of short
pastures.
But perhaps your pastures are
good or, it may be, so good you need
but one soiling crop, not variety !;
again, you may not desire an ex-
haustive crop like millet or sorghum,
depicting soil fertility. For any of
these conditions the Progressive Far
mer has but one answer: GROW
COW PEAS.
Wheat and oats draw heavily on
the fertilizing elements in the soil,
and should be followed by a legumi
nous crop. Furthermore, the pea
crop, if cured, will be worth just about
double what the oat crop was worth,
and will leave the land in very much
better condition in every way after
the peas are cut. The COW pea is the
best crop for feed and the cheapest
fertilizer we can use.
To sum up: instead of leaving
stubble land idle, make provision
against short pastures, planting some
millets Or sorghum to give variety
of soiling crops where needed, and
put all other stubble land in cow
peas. This crop, requiring less labor
than almost any other crop, will
1. Crowd out many weed pests that
would grow on untitled land.
g. Restore much of the fertility
withdrawn from the soil by wheat
or oats.
3. Make an forage crop unsur-
passed by many requiring heavy fer
tilizing aud three times as much
labor as the COW pea.
No better use can be made of stub
BILE land.

THIS WEEKS PAPER.

A paper as timely as it is valuable
has the place of honor this week
Prof. j. M. Johnson's suggestion as
to the best manner of bridging over
the season of poor pastures. Prof.
johnson is doing good work in the
Experiment Station and A & M.
College and his newspaper articles
The Progressive Farmer has had the
pleasure of printing several from
his pen-are thoroughly practical.
We hope to hear from him oftener
in the future. Prof Massey's arti-
Gle deserves a careful reading and
-'sThe Brickbat crop" should put
many farmers to thinking. We
hope to have many more letters such
as those from our Mecklenburg and
Northampton correspondents Far
mers write for your paper. The let
ters from Messrs. Chambers and
Westerfelt, on page are no less in
structive and suggestive.
We hope that our lady readers
will find the recipes for canning and
preserving on page useful.
Our General Correspondence col
umns evidence the fact that our
readers are still interested in the
Constitutional Amendment. Four
well-written letters-two opposing
and two favoring the measure-are
given this week.
In our Tobacco Department we
publish the address of Secretary
Parker. Comment elsewhere.

SELECT YOUR BEST MEN.

Secretary Parker is wisely urging
upon Alliancemen the necessity of
electing their best men as sub. Off
GERS. From a letter received from
him, unavoidably crowded out of this
issue, we make this extract that de-
mands immediate attention. We
commend it to the consideration of
all that have the good of the Order
at heart:
1.-The time is rapidly approaching
when the most important meetings
of the year for both sub and county
Alliances will be held. These meet
ings are especially important from
the fact that they are the meetings
at which the officers for the ensuing
year are selected, and consequently
largely determine the influence of
the Alliance for the next twelve
months. It behOoves every Alliance
man to attend these meetings, and
use his influence to have the best and
most progressive members elected as
their representatives.
1.-The Alliance, as other organiza-
tions, will be judged by its represent
atives, it's officers and it's influence
for good will be extended or ham
pered in proportion to the Judgment
exercised in their selection. The AL
lance has been undergoing crucial
test, and it has required the good
Judgment of its members to keep it
clear of the rocks and dangers that
have threatened it. am glad to say
that there is light ahead. Afewmor
long pulls and strong pulls, with all
pulling together with a determine
tion to build on the declaration of
purposes, and all will be WE'LL

FERTILIZERS.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer
1. Can you tell me how many
brands of fertilizer are sold in this
State? 2. How do sales this year
compare with sales Of last year and
year before? 3. Am told that in
many Western States no fertilizers
whatever are used. Is this true?
Rowan Co., N. @. A. N. H.
answered by Managing Editor)
1. More than 800 brands are sold
in North Carolina.
2. Up to June 1, since the begin
ming Of the current fiscal year, Dec.
1st, 1899, the Department Of Agrl,
culture had turned into the State
Treasury the sum of $46, 1854 on
account of collections for the sale Of
tonnage tax tags. This tax being "
cents per ton on fertilizers sold IN
the State, shows sales to the above
date of 23O, 1852 tons. We have ez-
amined the State Treasurer S books
and find tonnage tax receipts for SIX
from December l, 1898, to
June /, 1899 were $52, ,741.01, show
ing number of tons sold (the tax
