BRAIN: AND Drawn MUST WORK To-
II

There is a whole cart-load OF sound
philosophy in this paragraph from a
recent issue of the Philadelphia Farm
Journal:
"We sometimes hear it said OF the
farmer who somehow fails to get
along. that he hasn't a lazy hair IN
his head. That may be true, u
the chances are that he has a lazy
brain in his head. The trouble OF SO
many of these physically ambitious
farmers, who work from daylight
until dark, i, that they let a lazy
brain impose on a willing body. The
brain should do fully one-haf the
work of the farm, and unless it does
its share. no matter how much effort
the body makes to fill the breach,
success cannot come"
This is in full accord with the doc
trine which The Progressive Farmer
has always preached. It is not force
alone. but the intelligence that
guides force that brings success.
The savage with his clumsy, patch
work plough and his botching, bung-
ling tools may expend twice as much
force and brute strength upon his
corn crop as does any progressive
American farmer, but Nature will
reward the farmer and the savage,
not in proportion to the force applied,
but in proportion to the intelligence
with which the force was directed.
Take your axe,a and with the back or
thick part of it, try to cut down a
tree. You may expend fruitlessly a
hundred times the force that would
be required should intelligence point
o to the best method of accomplish
ing the result, namely, by using the
sharp edge of the axe. Just so, tens
of thousands of honest and industri-
Gus men are wearing out their lives,
yet growing poorer and poorer,
simply because they ignore the
knowledge brought by Science and
the improved tools brought by In
vention, and work on under the
fatal deIusion that hard work alone
will make farming a success. No
greater mistake was ever made.

IN THIS NUMBER.

Cotton farmers will be interested
in our Washington correspondents
report as to the status of that crop.
A report from the Department of
Agriculture, June 1, gives this years
increase in acreage over that of 1900
as 8.3 per cent. The average con
dition of the growing crop, however,
is, with one exception, the lowest in
twenty years. Is Providence again
interfering TO save the cotton farm
ers from, themselves?
"Some Danger In Feeding Rape"
is published in order to protect read
ers who have planted this excellent
soiIing crop against mistakes in feed
ing it. 1t is a crop of great value to
stockmen, and no one should fail to
growit because of the few precautions
that must be taken to insure perfect
safety in its use.
Every cattle owner should study
the articles in our dairy and live
stock department this week. Acare-
full perusaI of Prof. J. NJ. JOhnsOn's
letter and the extracts from the
Minnesota Station bulletin will prove
not only interesting but profitable.
President Thwing's article on the
value of collegiate education will
be eagerly read by the large number
of young people now interested in
that problem, and by the parents of
these young people as we'll. "Our
Social Chat" IS again in evidence,
and will appear regularly hereafter.
The article, Toms Mistake, - on
page ) should be studied by all
thoughtful young men. DonOt miss
it because it appears In our Chill
dren's Column.
Another article that rings clear
upon this subjecJ of education is that
from the pen IF President Charles
" Dipr.-, - IN Gu.y,r-.rv a.
Tennessee. We DO not think we
have ever read a more convincing
argument IN BEHALF Of public eduCa-
ton. 1t proves cOnclusively the
s~oundness of the principle TO which
Dr.. Curry gave u~tterance in his al
dress before our General Assembly
last January "Some say that we
are so poor that we cannot afford
good public schools this is false.
We are so poor that we cannot afford
not to have them"

guage of Prof. Bullock's concluding
paragraph:
s'The 'Billion-D Dollar Trust seems
to furnish a practical demonstration
of the possibility of organizing the
largest industries upon a national
scale, and the socialist appIauds the
efforts of Mr.. Morgan and his asso-
ciates. The concentration of all the
railroads into a few groups, con-
trolled by a single set of interests, is
a brilliant triumph for the policy OF
Capitalization and for this, too, Mr..
Morgan has the gratitude of every
socialist. The popular discomfort
caused by the monopolization of one
necessary of life after another pre-
pares the soil in a manner ideally
perfect for the sowing of socialistic
seed, and it is a significant fact that
American Socialism has first become
an appreoiable force in this era Of
trusts and combinations. x x x II
GllLh4AS H4OH VOL OOOOAAO " 4ASON
that in manufacturing and other in
dustries competition is impossible
and monopoly inevitable, only two
possible alternatives will then pre-
sent themselves, public or private
monopoly and those who are now
occupied with the formation or justi-
fication or trusts will be chiefly re-
sponsible, in case the balance finally
swings in the direction of Socialism. .
We do not believe that Socialism
could long flourish in America we
do fear there is danger Of a tempo
rary resort to it if the present ten
dency toward monopoly continues
unrestrained. Prof. Bullock's warn
ing should be needed, but we fear
that his voice is that of a prophet
crying in the wilderness.

THE OUTLOOK ON THE GAMBLING SPIRIT

The New York Outlook prOnOunces
the gambling spirit-the hope of get
ting something for nothing-''the
most demoralizing tendency, the
most dangerous temptation, of our
time and country" And we believe
the statement is a correct one. The
most conspicuous example Of this
tendency is found in Wall Street
where for five hours of one day, less
than a month ago, the sales of stocks
averaged 1900, 900 par value a min
ute, sales of 5000, 900 shares being
recorded that day.
erich in Fifteen Minutes. "-Such
is the title of a newspaper dispatch
now before US, which tells the story
a dazzling success in the Chicago
corn pit. Unfortunately not the
same prominence is given to stories
of the wrecks that have resulted
from yielding to this allUring spirit.
Beside the story of this sudden leap
to wealth should have been given
the story of that wretched man
brought before a New York police
court last week for begging, who
within a few weeks had lost in Wall
street the $780, 900 he had brought
with him, the accommodations of a
life's work in honest business.
The one green spot in this wretched
prospect is the fact this evil is con
fined almost exclusively to cities, and
has not yet found favor among the
sober minded, Industrious, square,
dealing inhabitants of our rural dis
tricts. In the large cities, however,
it pervades all ranks of society, and
we do not think that Dr.. Abbott has
overdrawn the picture in his conclud-
ing paragraphs, which we reproduce
herewith:
drunkenness is hideous but as a
people we are not given to it. I'm
chastity is an ~abhorrence; but in
this country pure home life is the
general ideal. The vice which does
beset the American people from
poorest to richest, from the most
ignorant to the shrewdest, is the
growing epidemic of trying to get
something for Notwithstanding
haste to be rich, without earning.
It is dangerous from every point of
view. It saps the moral character,
tt tends to ivd1ne tho othor great
wees, ~ ass ;0l1btOu AID ~lACIeasing
shamelessness. 1t weakens indus
try, undermines honesty and enter
prise, debauohes manliness and wo-
manliness, and if there is any one
thing which more than another VIC
lates the ideal of loving service to
others, this is it. The gambling
spirit is the peculiar danger of Ameri-
can life to-day"

AIMLEss EDUCATION.

In his address before the gradra.

last week, Hon. Carroll D. Wripbt
United States Commissioner of To-
Dor, made this striking statement
CAL the grand movements of On,
time, which are the movements oe
great communities, are carried IN
by inventive skill, by the application
of ingenuity, and these things teach
us the absolute necessity of knowinp
how to do something and to do Il
we'll. The grand summation of the
value of skilled training is, there.

industry. I do not care how we'll

of greatest strength. The same idea.

THE A AND M. COLLEGE.

The retiring board of trustees of
the North Carolina College of Agri-
culture and Mechanic Arts held it's
final session in this city last week,
and played some most fantastic
tricks, notably in the agricultural
department of the college. The peO-
pie of the State, however, have no
right to expect better things of a
board of twenty two members, of
which less than five are farmers.
We do not know that it was wise
to put the College under the control
of the Board of Agriculture, as was
done by the last Legislat1re-the
farmers could have secured repre-
~sentation without this-but we are
glad that hereafter the farmers are
to be properly represented upon the
Board which controls the institution
which is the o~utgrowth of agitation
by them and which was intended to
foster agricultural education no less
than mechanical or textile education.
The members of the old board,
knowing full we'll that within less
than a week their terms would ex-
pire, leaving the agricultural board
in control, met on Tuesday and We'd
nesday of last week and endeavOred
to shape the policies and name the
men to control affairs for another
year. The position held by Prof.
Benjamin Irby, as Professor of Agri-
culture, was declared vacant, and
the pr~OfessOrship of animal industry
was pronounced unnecessary-at
any rate, the Board, in it's anxiety to
build up the textile department. of
the College, abolished this position
in order to save money.
For our part, we think that this
tendency to foster the mechanical
department of the College at the ex
pense of the agricultural division
has gone quite far enough. The ap-
preparations from the State and
National governments are for the
promotion of agricultural" andme-
chanical education. The name,
college Of Agriculture and Me
chanic Arts" indicates the hope of
it's founders they did not think that
Observation-Disclosures should be made
side issue, or that any board of law
yers and millmen should ever cripple
the agricultural division in order to
build up any other department of
the College.
W. VIII al sue less t. the NEE IAN
zeal and textile departments Of the
College they are needed there is a
great future for them. But we do
not believe that it is necessary to
cripple the agricultural division for
their benefit, and we hope that the
new Board will repudiate this action
of their predecessors.
In the matter of agricultural edu-
cation, let no backward step be
taken. Let no worthy and expert
enoed teacher be discharged without
cause.

Two clippings from North Carolina
exchanges emphasize the value of
our timber resources. In a new
country like ours people seldom ap-
p~reciate until too late the value of
the forests. Already in destructive
floods and in other ways we are pay
ing the penalty for ignorance regard
ing these matters.

A WORK FOR JUNE.

The excessive rains have given the
farmers quite a backset and they are
working hard to catch up. Where
the farmer finds himself over-cropped
the best thing he can do is to let the
thinner part grow up in grass and
devote hisfull time to the best part
of the crop. It will pay and be easier
made. It is a great loss to spread d
little work over a large area. The
extra work on the good land will
cause an increase that will surpass
the yield of the poorer part.
In the mad rush for the three
staple crops we must not forget some
others that Ire quite important. The
cattle r no doubt doing we'll now
and will have plenty through June,
but in July and August the pastures
get very dry and some green feed
comes in as very s~erviceable. Plant
for every head of cattle at least one
fourth of an acre of sorghum, pearl
millet or corn thick in the drill.
This should be cut for the stock
twice a day and either cut up tor
them II else put in racks on clean
ground for them. It is much more
convenient to plant the crops on the
side Of the pasture so that the feed
can be easily carried to the cattle
without having to haul it with a
team. We r too apt to neglect the
daily cutting if the stuff has to be
hauled. We getso busy in the crops,
and the man is busy when the mule
is not, and so it goes.
In cUltivating most any of the
farm crops be sure TO try the weeder
or a smoothing harrow run across
the rows. Some will say they are so
far behind they cannot afford to try
new methods. IF you are behind,
that is the very reason you should
use the smoothing harrow, as it goes
over SC much ground in a day. If
you are we'll up with your work,
then there is not so much necessity
for shortening up the work. This
plan is only recommended for the
first two or three weeks of the growth
of the crop, as it will not kill the
grass and weeds after they are deeply
rooted. It serves the purpose of
breaking the crust and killing the
small weeds and grass. Go directly
across the row and the stand willnOt
be injured. If the harrow runs up
and down the rows one tooth may
just strike the drill and injure the
stand.
To keep a good stand on the
ground is an important matter to
look after, as it means pay or no
pay.
Remember if the weather is wet
then the grass will grow and the
crop needs cultivation to keep 1t
clean, and if it is dry it needs
cultivation to keep the ground moist
in addition to the killing of weeds.
After the smoothing harrow, the
c~ultivator and hoe will come in and
should be used in time. We prefer
'ho hoe hands tn come after the cut
tlyator, as they can uncover the oJJ-
ton or orr covered by the Plo|.
The pillow will also save work for the
hoes.
The old expression ''make hay
while the sun Shines" should be re-
versed in the crops for this month
