germinate, and the thousand are
wrong if the one is wrong. Thus,
in treating of the natural rights
and duties of the individual, we
should Impress the ethical relations
between individuals which arise
from the fact of birth. All are in
the world through no fault or merit
of their own, hence no blame or
credit attaches to the fact of being
here in any case. No man brought
anything withhim which every other
man did not bring; hence, all are
by nature endowed with equal rights
aud equal opportunities. This
opens up an immense field of
thought in the direction of modify
ing the existing conditions Of un-
equal opportunities, which all stu
dents of social questions recognize
with serious misgivings. =.
Nothing is more important for
our children aud youth to under
stand than the character Of human
relations; but these are ignored as
if there were no such relations,
lest the existing abnormal ones be
disturbed. Here. in my judgment,
is the most serious defect of our
schools, and not in the lack of
proper correlation of studies.
To correct it we must form more
comprehensive standards of patriot
ism, call it patriotism, religion,
sympathy, the enthusiasm for hu-
manity or the love of God-give it
what name you will; there is yet
force in human nature which may
overcome the powers Of darkness
chemical force, if you please,
which melts, and fuses and over
whelms; to which nothing seems
impossible.
For a hundred years Bunker Hill
has been presented to the schools
as a type of patriotism in the con-
crete. We were taught that patriot
is a man who loves his country and
is ready to die for it-Lincoln and
Grant in the. north, and, with
precisely the same sentiment, Lee
and jackson in the south. Since
the civil war new names have been
added to the list. All our patriotic
literature has the same ring:
America is a sweet land Of liberty,
land where our fathers died; Col
umbia's heroes fought and bled in
freedoms cause; in the rockets red
glare, and with bombs bursting in
air, the star-spangled banner waves
DER the land of the free and the
home of the brave. As. stimulus
TO this emotion, we have put the
flag over our schoolhouses, and
have taught children to salute it.

GROW PECARS.

The moral pointed by the follow
ing news item from the K,nston Free
Press is obvious:
A number of years ago the State
Board of Agriculture was urging the
farmers of this State to set ont pecan
and other nut trees, especially recon-.
mendlng pecans because Of their
peculiar adaptation to, our g, il and
climate. Tuesday we were shown
some of these home grown peoans,
bought by Kinston merchant from
a Jones county farmer, and wers
very much surprised at the aize and
quality of these nuts. They far sur
passed any variety ever seen in Kin
ston before from anywhere, and eeI1
readily at 20 cents per pound. As
one tree will bear several bushels Of
nuts, one can readily sec what q
profit a grove of these trees would
give TO the average farmer without
scarcely any labor or expense.

A STUDY OF VARIETIES.

Correspondence OF The Progressive Farmer.
One of the surest wavs to success
on the farm is TO be sure that the
right variety ia raisad 90 that the
high prices which are always paid
for the choicest can be obtained.
Fruits, vegetables, grains and other
farm products show difference in
prices in the market which very
often settles the whole question of
profit and loss
One particular variety will bring a
cent or two more than any other,
and no matter how we'll we raise the
less popular articles we can never
hope to eqnal the popular ones. Thus
Danish seed cabbages Invariably
bring about dollar hundred, or
cent apiece more than the ordinary
cabbages, and it costs no more to
raise them. 1t is true that little
m re is demanded for the seed, but
what a difference in the returns
when one is selling Cnbbages in the
market by the thousands.
White onions early in the fall in
variably bring rather more than red
or yellow, and yet On many soils the
first produces just as good crop as
the other two. There is an equal
d ference. between Hubbard and
Marrow sQuashes, and betwe en- tur
nips, tomatoes and lima beans.
This difference in the aggregate is
so great that if one will take pencil
and paper and figure it out, there
will be seen the exact reason why
failure instead of success has come.
Ii one saved q few dollars in the
spring in the purchase of seed by
taking the less popular Varieties, he
will now have to add to his returns
the extra amount that he would have
recei ed had they all been of the
very best.
A good many farmers go upon the
theory that they kn,Fw all about the
qualities of the different farm prod
uots, and because they do not think
one variety any superior I'D another,
tht refOre it is not worth paying tie
extra price for the seed. That sort
of reasoning is all right so, long as
it is &C mined to products raised for
the home table, but the man who is
raising farm products for commercial
pur poses, should not consult his in
d1vldual preference It is simply
what the market demands. If oOn-
sumers are willing to pay little
extra for certain variety of fruit or
vegetable it is the farmers duty to
raise that whether or not he oOn
siders it better. SOpe times it is
the appearance of a prOduct that
cAu.es the extra price, and again it
may be a certain favor or qnalltY
which the grower might not like or
appre ciate. It is to his interest,
however, to raise it 80 long as the
demand continues. Therefore, u
study IN varieties jast nov might
prove a profitable business. Now is
the time to consider what varieties
command the best prices in the mar
ket, so the seeds Can be purchased
another season in time. A little
study of that nature at this time of
the year might prove very profita BILE
by another fall.

BARRENNEss OF CORN AND WHEAT.

Correspondence Of ThePrOgressive Farmer.
One of the greatest factors in the
production of oorn and wheat is the
relative amount of barrenness in the
stalks Every farmer is familiar
with fields of either grain which
promise an hundant yield, hut when
the counting of the harvest is made
there is a great disappointment Is
ia found that the crop vas deceptive.
There was more stalk than grain,
Every third or fourth stalk in some
fields is barren. When grain gets

blame to tho soil, others to the sea.
son and few to the seed or method
OF cultivation. In my experience I
nave found that the seed is more at
fault than anything else. Provide
reasonably fertile soil, and fair cul-
tivation, and good seed will produce
a pretty good crop, but on the finest
soil and with the best of cultivation

stalk supply and not raise the yield

Not all of US appreciate the power
of running out that is always present
in seed. We plant it one or two sea-
sons, and succeed in raising good
crops. Unless systematically i'm
proved by breeding" seed, corn or
wheat will degenerate at least ten
per cent. in a single year. All Of
our crops have been raised to their
pre- -ent high standard through arti-
doial means of breeding and seIeo-
tion, and they will return 80 their
original state in a short time # not
prevented by the very conditions
which raised them up. Now the
average farmer cannot bree and
improve seed. That is not his work.
but he can insist that seed be sold to
him that has not been run out. By
insisting upon wheat and corn that
represent the highest possible pro-
the farmer can increase
his yield per acre much better than
by spending anxious moments and q
good deal of money in fertiiizing
and oultivattng the fields. The one
absolute essential is wheat and corn

to the point where the highest pos
sibls returns can be had from every
single stalk that comes up. We
