FORWARD PETITIONS AT ONCE.

In the early fall, it is announced,
official inspectors of rural free de-
livery routes will visit different Sec
tions of North Carolina. All ap-
plications then in hand will be
promptly acted upon, while those
that are forwarded later will have to
wait till the inspectors in making
their rounds again reach our State.
Let every neighborhood that wishes
rural free delivery therefore make
known it's wishes in the matter by for
warding at once properly prepared
petition for the service. If this is
done without delay the matter will
have due consideration within few
weeks.
Remember that the appropriation
for the present fiscal year, beginning
July 1, 1901, is double that of the
preceding year. There was never a
better time to ask for tina establish
ment of new routes.

only that which is above the aver
age has quality.
Mr.. Merriam has an article on tur-
nip growing, crop which no
thoughtful farmer will neglect.
The lesson which Mr.. Williams, of
Kansas, has learned regarding the
value of good tillage in drouths is
Une we'll worth remembering. Since
his article was written, good rains
have fallen throughout the ''corn
bet" assuring, it is said, at least
half crop.
Mr.. Samuel Archer has had many
years experience in the business of
which he is writing and has kept his
eyes open all the while. If our sheep
owning readers are filing away his
articles, they are boarding much
valuable information. The series
will continue several weeks longer.
Of late much has been said in our
columns regarding the corn shred
der, and on page we give a column
of notes which should interest those
who believe in saving the entire corn
crop. The inquiries we are receiv-
ing indicate that the subject of
shredding is receiving considerable
attention in North Carolina. And
just here we will say that we are
always glad to receive inquiries re-
garding subjects discussed in The
Progressive Farmer bear this in
mind.

County Alliance two weeks ago,
Editor Bailey, of the Raleigh Bib

the problem he discusses.

HOW TO STOP LYNCH1NGs.

By far the best answer to this vex-
ing problem that has ever come un-
der our notice is that given in our
General News columns this week
under the title, "Found Guilty in
Forty minutes o."
Nothing will do so much to dis
courage lynch law as the speedy
trial and punishment of the guilty
by process of LAWN fact, no other
remedy is worthy of consideration.
Gov. Gambler in this particular has
set an example worthy of the emula-
tion of all executives.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Fifty-seven counties of the State
report fever cases, and weather con-
ditions favor the spread of many
diseases. Purity of water supply
and perfect cleanliness of body,
dwellings and premises are the best
safeguards of health. Give these
attention.
The list of Farmers Bulletins,
given July 3Oth, deserved your atten-
tion. Some Of them every reading
farmer needs, and if you have not
yet applied for copies, do so at once.
We are reminded of this by the ar
ticle, "Uncle Sans Free Library,
given in another column.
Our contemporary, the Nashville
Graphic, publishes timely editorial
urging the citizens of Nash to de-
mand the esta blishment of rural free
delivery routes. 1t is in error, how
ever, in the statement that Congl ess
has provided for the establishment
of six routes in each county. The
number per county is not fixed, but
depends upon the needs of the peo-
pie and their interest in the matter

that no reward had been offered for
the capture of the murderere, either
by city, county, or State, it con-
cluded its editorial with the an
nouncemont, made without scare
heads or red ink, that it would itself
give 5000 reward for the capture of
Charles Lyle, who is said to have
committed the latest of the series of

the Observer has aroused public sen
timent in Mecklenburg. One good

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION AT THE A.
& II. COLLEGE.

Our A. and M. College is now ad-
mirably equipped for training young
farmers, and we hope that a large
number will take the agricultural
course next session. With the heavy
appropriation to pay agricultural stu
dents for farm work, it will be pos
sible for the more enterprising and
Industrious of these to cut their ex-
penses in half We shall indeed be
much disappointed if the work of the
Board of Agriculture does not re-
suit in the increased popularity of
the agricultural branch of the Col
lege. The Bulletin of the Agricul-
tural Department for July contains
anarticle on this subject, from which
we take the following paragraphs :
"The North Carolina College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts is
now in charge of the State Board of
Agriculture, which took control June
1st. The board is determined to
make the Agricultural Department
of this college equal to any in the
United States, and to bring it's Op-
portunities within reach of every boy
in North Carolina, however poor he
may be, provided he is moral, ener
getic, ambitious and capable of re-
ceiving an education.
"Besides increasing and strength
ening the faculty of the college, the
Board of Agriculture has greatly in
creased the material help whereby
agricultural students of small means
may work their way through college.
If has created 12O agricultural schol-
arships, solely for agricultural stu
dents. Lads desiring these schol-
arships may write to President Geo.
T. Winston, Raleigh, n. @. A schol-
arship gives free tuition and room
rent The other expenses will be
about 800 year Gncluding board,
clothing, books, etc.. The board
has also appropriated -, ,OOO to pay
for work done by agricultural stu
dents. The boys in the A. and Nj.
College earned last year about 50, 500
by various kinds Of work This ad
dition of $2,OOOis intended solely for
farm work. 1t will not be divided
out among the agricultural students,
but will be paid solely to those that
work, in the shape of wages, at so
much an hour, cash payment. The
work will be precisely the sort of
work that is done on the farm
plowing, hauling, tile-laying, feed
ing stock, milking, cleaning land,
running bitches and terraces, repair
ing machinery and tools, harvesting
crops, etc., ETC., etc. This money is
not in any sense a gratuity. 1t will
be paid as a quid pro quo, fair re-
turn for hooest labor"

REPORT OF THE NATIONAL LIVE STOCK
ASSOCIATION.

The fourth annual report of the
National Live Stock Association,
comprising the proceedings of the
annual convention at Salt Lake City,
Utah, last January, and the work of
the Association for last year, has
just been issued and is being dis.
tributed to the members of the AS
ISOLATION. Each delegate receives q
copy of the report, and it will be
sent to any stockman in the country
who will send 25 cents to Charles F.
Martin, Secretary, 211 Quincy Build
ing, Denver, Colorado, to pay post
age. The book is handsomely bound
in silk cloth and consists of about
$50 pages on handsome plate paper,
illustrated with portraits of those
who took part in the last great con-
vention, and containing the valuable
papers delivered, as we'll as the YER
batim report of the interesting dis
cussiOns. There are at least three
books which every intelligent stock
man should regard as Indispensable
He should have the "Year Book"
of the Department of Agriculture,
the annual report of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, and add to these
the annual report of the National
Live Stock Association, and the
library is good one. The two Wash
ington reports convey fully all the
work being done by the government,
and the National Association report
shows what the stockmen are doing
for themselves. If these annual re-
ports were all that the stockmen got
for their memberships the National
Association, they might consider
themselves we'll repaid for the out
lay. In some respects the last pub
lication of the National Association
is the most interesting of any yet
sent out. Those who have had a
mixed understanding of the work
being done by the Association should
read the fourth annual report and
be enlightened. We still hope that
a North Carolina branch of this
great organization will be eventually
organized.

then he has lost very little time, making
almost daily trips in the more than forty

to take the place of the Walnut Grove

pupils reported that Green's ghost had
