FIRES OF 1900.
0skaloosa Blazes of One Year.
Fire Department Needs.

Oskaloosa has as fine a fire depart
ment, size considered, as there is to
be found in the state Of Iowa and the
efficiency of the work performed
cannot be excelled by any of the
salaried and trained fire departments
of the larger cities. 1t is to the work
of these volunteer men that Oska-
loosa owes it's fortunate escape from
costly blazes. There have been many
fires started during the past year
that would have resulted in serious
damage but for their prompt action
and careful judgment.
The list of the fires for the past
year so far as recorded with the date
and number are here presented.
There were six more fires attended
by the company during the year 1900
than in the year 1899. There was no
great loss of property in any of the
blazes and the people of the city owe
much to the work of the fire laddies.
Remember them kindly for they are
brave lot of fellows and deserve
many times the pittance that they
receive.

BETTER D1TCHEs NEEDED.

The experience and observations
of farmers this year should teach
them that one of the chief things
that need to be done on most of the
farms is to effect more thorough
drainage There is scarcely farm
in our section on which there are not
object lessons of the need of m re
perfect drainage. Along side even
the shallow ditches one sees that the
size of the corn and cotton is in sharp
contrast with that farther off and
less effectively drained. The loss Of
half or more of the fertilizers put
under crops on poorly drained land
may be expected in most of the years
of the future. The great thing
needed we say boldly to make ours
one of the very finest farming Sec,
tions in the country is more and
deeper ditches dug so as to keep our
lands from sobbing as so many of
them have done this year. The well
drained farms where the tiller was
industrious and knew how to work

FINE YIELD OF SWEET POTATOES.
The Hickory Section is Also Adapted to Peach
and Grape Culture.
A. B. MARRIOTT,

The Hickory Section is Also Adapted to Peach
and Grape Culture.
While the recent rains have vir
tually made the corn crop in this
section, the greatest good to any one
growth was that of the sweet potato,
which was just at the state of Guilt
walton when rain was necessary for
it's full development. The yield of
this crop will be up to the average
this year. Is is the third largest
money crop we have. Some of our
most progressive farmers near town
and in the west and northwestern
part of the county have abandoned
cotton, and are cultivating sweet
potatoes altogether, finding it pays
from $50 to 800 per acre. Recently
several small farms in this part of
the county where the soil is sandy
changed hands. The object of it's
new owners is to have the lands cul-
tivated for the growth of high grade
sweet potatoes, the quality of which,
since their introduction, some two
years ago, through the commission
merchants and large wholesale gro
cery establishments of New York
Boston, is as popular as the Jersey
S zeet in all the Eastern markets
where they have been sold.
The yield of the early peach crop
is not as large as last year, but the
late crop will be average. The iron
in the soil throughout the upper part
of the county is of great advantage
to peach culture, as we'll as to the
VINEYARDS. A Frenchman Of much
travel and authority on fruit culture,
tells me there is no place in the
South equal to Hickory and its sur
rounding country for the establish
ment of peach orchards and grape
culture. Hickory Cor. Charlotte

THE STOCK IAw-GOOD T11IAeE NEEDED

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The great overf1ows on the borders
of Deep River have destroyed most
all crops of cotton and corn on the
low lands. Crops in Chatham and
Moore will not average over fifty per
cent. of last year, and should the
balance of this month continue as
wet as it has so far, it will not even
reach that.
The stock law is likely to cause
the small farmer much inconven-
ience, at least they all think so, but
like all measures of like character,
it has it's advocates as we'll as oppon-
ents. 1t works hardship on those
having large herds of hogs, especially
where there are large bodies of tim
Der land with mast and acorns abun-
dant from which their stock is cut
off, and the mast going to waste.
If these small land owners we're TO
fence we'll what land they own and
cut up some of it in plats of five
acres each and seed with clover and
other grasses they would have ample
pasturage, and by varying their
product would always have fresh
feed. Experience teaches that 20
acres cut up into small pastures will
feed and fatten an ordinary herd of
hogs or cattle better and quicker
than a wide range. A stock law will
in time generally prevail and the
quicker we adapt ourselves to the
change the better. have been Op-
posed 80 it, and am still, and will
continue to be, while the owners of
large tracts of uncultivated land
surround the small holder.
l have been a constant reader of
your most valuable paper fer many
years, and have profted in many re-
spects greatly by it. The article con-
tributed by W. A. McAulay in a
former issue on ''Large VS.. Small
Farms" meets my approval in every
sense. The great trouble with many
of our farmers is that they want a
larger acreage in cotton than they
can successfully cultivate. If they
were to use two horses or mules on
a one-horse crop, they would make
more cotton, at less cost, than they
do on a two-horse one. Those who
depend on the merchant for advances
want to make as big show on acres
as possible, to secure what they want ;
as a rule they never get their nose
off the grindstone. Furthermore,
the money that should be distri buted
in our county goes TO the merchant,
and by him is forwarded West for
corn and pork that should and could
be raised here to enrich our own
people. For some years / have rai-ed
more pork and corn than could use,
and have found good profit in sell
ing is. Have always a good stock of
hogs, cattle and sheep; as my range,
if the stock law is enacted, will be
greatly restricted, shall raise less
number of stock, but. improve breed
and may get as good results, with
much less labor.
Any farmer who will carefully
read your paper and do little think
ink for himself, will make more ma
nure, buy less guano, raise better
crops and be much more independ.
