This confidence will only come to
US by mingling together in a frater-
nal way and broadening our intel
lectual faculties by taking part in
the discussion of such moral, social,
civil, political and agricultural top
les as r agitating the world at the
present time.
Then again, more farmers are
needed in State and National legis-
latures. We make this statement
not simply because we are talking
for the farmers, but in behalf of the
veal Of the whole public. 1t is true
that some farmer members of Con-
gress Dr. of State legislatures are not
much on speech. making, they may
not even be highly educated, but
they are certain to have a great
fund of hard headed Commonsense
and a keen appreciation of the value
of the taxpayers money. Such rep
~resentatives of the plain people are
greatly needed to Offset the influence
and votes of the lawyers and other
men who get into Office mainly be-
cause of their gift of CAB. The lat
ter too often have only a one-sided
view of the public interest, and little
if any conception of the value of
money. From North Corolina, an
agricultural State, we have, since
the retirement of Mr.. Atwater, not
a single farmer representative in
Congress. Nor must we allow our
selves to be bamboozled by dema-
gogues, not farmers, but who use us
as long as they can and then drop US

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
l read with much interest the ar

was a very important paper. l am
glad to see that the Grange is flourish

States and that, in the few States in
which it maintains an organization,
the Alliance is making progress.
Farmers have become u prey for
all organizations. They have paid
the freight and fddled while the
organizations have enjoyed the rev
elry. Farmers, Of all men, have
been the most difficult to organize,
because they are widely scattered
and thoroughly schooled in personal
independence, or every man tor him

however, that they must surrender
a portion of their independence for

those of almost any other class. The

TO SOLVE THE NEGRO PROBLEM.
.lexander Co., N. G.

DR.. FOard Thinks it Can be Done by COmbin-
ing Mental, Moral and Physical Training.
God, in His wisdom, made Africa
and it's teeming millions Of people, as
all other continents and people, for
His own glory. As He redeemed all
for their salvation, Africa's children
r included in the great plan.
Slavery, like all other servitude, has
ever been Gods way to conquer a
sinful ace and bring the most re-
bellious to Christ and American
slavery was no exception to the rule.
Another proposition is, that all
countries, classes and persons that
have been benefited, financially or
otherwise, by the institution of
slavery should help to give Christian
civilization to the entire world, which
includes Africa and her children here
and elsewhere.
To solve the negro problem in
America is now a ~stUpendOus prOpO-
sition, and it must be done accord
ing to Gods plan. Some learned
and honest persons believe that to
keep the negro population in the
United States and give financial and
other help to the better part, and
suitable punishment to the remain
der, is the best that we can do, while
others believe and teach to keep the
best here and send the criminals to
Africa or the isles of the seas, is
what is needed.
After many years of observation,
experience and careful study, the
writer is of the opinion that the mis-
sionary idea of converting the world
by the world is the only feasible
plan to benefit all classes of both
races in our country, and in benefit
ing one, all share the Improvement.
Labor is not only honorable, but in
dispensable to human happiness and
useful. But the tendency to idleness
seems to be on the increase among
the children of our former slaves.
and education without labor is a
menace to any people. Then to COM
bine the mental, moral and physical
training of the rising and future
generation of the negroes of America
is the best for all classes here and
elsewhere.
If all classes can be brought to see
the Importance of this idea the work
can be gradually accomplished, the
two races separated and both CONT
nents greatly benefited ;i.e., by estab-
fishing manual labor schools with
proper government in this country
and Africa for COlOred children with
a view of creating missionary senti-
ment and labOrers, a great step will
have been takeT towards solving the
negro problem 18th us and Chris.
tianizing Africa. Christianity, phil
anthropy and patriotism should
cause a united effort on the part of
the people to aid in the branch of
missionary labOr. Besides, self
preservation, natures first law,
points towards this feature for the
separation of the races here and the
ultimate redemption of Africa. The
example thus set by a generous and
Christian people of a superior race
will act and react upon all countries
where financial slavery or other I'M
due s6rvitude is now being enforced.
Is not the hand of God seen in all
the wars of this and other countries?
If so, let Us continue to live and
learn.-John F. Foard, Iredell Co.,
N. G..

KEEPING UP FERTILITY.
First Thins Necessary 10 tho saving
AID Proper Application OF AAA
Sorts Of Manure.

A correspondent OF the st. Louis
journal of Agriculture writes that
paper as follows:
The first thing in keeping up fertile
ity is the saving and proper applica"
ton of manure. Thousands OF tarm'
ers are letting the manure waste in
their barnyards, and are using com"
mercial fertilizers. Fertility can be
kept up in this way, but lack OF hui
mus will soon follow. Soil deficient
in humus will dry out in dry weather
and Q seeding of clover will be next
to, impossible. Do not flatter your.
selves with the idea that you can keep
up your fertility on commercial ma.
nures alone. You must save and nse all
your farm MANURE Spread the ma
nure on the higher portion Of the
field. Save everything. Do not let
a thing go to waste, but put it on
the land. 1t makes little difference
when you put it on, only see that it
goes on.
Plow under all the clover you can.
Rye will do to plow under very we'll.
Any green crop will answer. Do not
let the ground lie bare during fall
and winter. Sow your corn stubble
to rye. This can be done at the last
cultivation. 1t will not only save fer
tility by the roots taking up fertil'
ity and storing it in the plant, SO as
to be available for the next crop to
follow, but it will make excellent pas
ture for your sheep and hogs during
the fall and far into the winter.
Do not hesitate to draw the manure
as fast as made during the winter,
and spread as fast as drawn. If your
land is too billy this may not be the
best plan provided you have a good
way to save the manure at the barn.
But as the manure is usually kept
around barns, the loss from washing
down the hills will be no greater than
the loss around the barns. Manure
drawn out in winter saves that much
from the springs work. Often in the
spring the ground is soft, and have
seen ground injured as much by the
trampling and cutting up by tho
wheels as the manure did good.
A wise rotation of crops is also
necessary in keeping up fertility. No
rotation should be longer than four
years. Three years will be better.
But a four-year rotation will do very
we'll provided clover is given on inn
portant place.

Weevils in Grain Bins.

If you have put weevil-infested
grain in bins, 60 at once and stop
the pests from continuing their de-
structive work. Spread clean sacks
over the grain and have the covers
all ready to close down tight. Now
take a pint of gasoline to every 50
bushels of wheat in the bin and pour
il over the sacks that lie on the
grain; close the lids and throw ex-
ira sacks or covers over all to keep
the air out and the fumes in, and
leave the fumes for "a hours to do
their work. Then raise the lids and
The odor will pass off and the weevil
will trouble no more. OF course BIZ
sulphide of carbon will have the same
effect; but the writer believes from
trial that gasoline is just as good,
and it is certainly more available and
cheaper. The above suggestion ap-
plies also to the new wheat pest, the
anguomois grain moth.-Farm Jour-
