FARMING IN DUPLIE COUNTY.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
live in the northeast corner of
Duplin county, seven miles ssoutheast
from Mt. Olive. Our section, as we'll
as many others of our State, has
suffered very much this year from
rain. We fought General Green
all summer and whipped him this
fall by making good hay of him
There has been much hay saved in our
section this year, and it is we'll that
it is so, for nearly all fodder was
practically ruined by rain.
Corn is about one fourth of crop
in this section; cotton is no better
while tobacco was one third of a
crop, and brought fair prices. Corn
is being sold at 70 cents per bushel
The boil worm made it's appearance
in our cotton this season for the first
time. 1t enters the boil at it's base,
or near it, and literally riddles the
inside of it. believe most farmers
lay by cotton too soon, as expert
mented some this year, and where I
left it clean l get 40 per cent. more
cotton than where didn't.
Sweet potatoes will make fair
crop. Some are being dug.
Many of our farmers have given
up their crops to the landlords, and
quit farming; some gong to saw
mills, and others to the towns, while
many aim 80 hire out next season to
larger farmers.
Our dear old State went long
time without oalamities, but it has
had it's portion this year. Did it
ever OCCUR to you, dear reader, that
God sent these things on us for a
purpose? You remember that last
year our people were ready to kill
each other over politics, so perhaps
these calamities we're sent to remind
US. As this has been an off year in
politics our people are more friendly
than they were last year. AS 1902
will be campaign year, let us say
and o nothing that would hurt the
feelings of our neighbor, remember
ing he has the same rights as we

FACTS ABOUT THE CORN PLANT WORTH
KNOWING.

Prof. B. W. KilgOre, State Chemist
and Director of the North Carolina
Experiment Station, gives US the
following facts in regard to the corn
plant: Taking the corn plant as a
whole, As per cent of the whole is in
the ear, inoluc ing the grain and cob
only, and 81 per cent. is in the stalks,
blade and husks. Of the corn stover
there is go per cent. stalk, 80 per
cent. blades and 10 per cent. shucks,
or husk. There is more digestible
nuriment in the ear than in the
stover, but they are nearer together
than most farmers imagine. Of the
digestible matter in the corn plant
81 per cent. is in the ear and 49 per
cent. is in the stover. 1t is easy to
see, then, that those who fail to
make the best use of the stover are
losing very large per centage of
the feeding value of the corn plant,
and when this is reduced, by shred
OAAS3 AA0O q OOAOAOAOA 4A WA1OA 6OSA
be consumed, there is an immense
addition to the feeding value of the
corn crop. And yet all over the
great corn growing sections of the
Central West what an immense
waste of cattle food annually occurs
from the stalks left in the field,
which contain nearly one half of the
digestible part of the corn plant
Shredding will go far towards cor
reoting this. Cat down corn stover
is hard stuff to keep, but the shred
ded stover is easily kept in stacks or
ricks when shelter is soaroe-Prof

NORTH CAROLINA FARM NOTES.

Sheriff Page, of Wake county, an
observant farmer, says much hay is
being saved, and that no is informed
by dealers in farm machinery, etc.,
that they have sold more mowers
this year than in ten years past
Most of the buyers are using the ma
chimes to cut hay in their neighbor
hoods -Ex.
Danbury Reporter: Corn and
wheat are both quoted at eighty
cents per bushel in Danbury.-The
large herd of Angora goats which
we're recently placed at the Wade Me-
cum Springs are reported to be dying
from eating ivy. Mr.. John 81. Sparks,
the owner of the goats, will in the
near future move them down on the
large tract of mountain land which
he has purchased a short distance
west of here.
Sampson Democrat: That the cot
ton crop in Sampson is the shortest
we have had in years, there can be
no doubt, and the most conservative
business men say that it cannot ex-
ceed one fourth of last years yield,
and that it is the shortest, by far, in
their recollection. This is abund-
antly proven by the amount Of work
done by the gins, as we'll as the re
ports given by the farmers them
selves and the quantity being mar
ket5d, etc.
A gentleman in Wilkes county
sold his crop of apples on the trees
for $3.50 This looks like a consider
able price for an apple crop, but
there is no reason why fruit crops
just as profitable should not be
raised in this county. At any rate,
experiment has never proven that it
can't be done and until the effort is
made and found to be a failure, it is
as reasonable to suppose it can be
done here as we'll as elsewhere. Our
farmers should try it, anyway

SOME NOTES FROM The EAST.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
A few words from this section may
not be unfavorably received by your
readers.
Our crops, in Lenoir county, have
not turned out as we'll as we should
like. But must say that, long ago,
we had given up the hope for even
two-thirds of an average harvest,
especially for cotton. But the good
prices received for tobacco, sold in
the warehouses here in Kinston,
have had a tendency to buoy up the
spirits of our farmers and to make
amends, somewhat, for shortage in
the cotton. 1t is wonderful and
very gratifying to our Lenoir farm
ers and also to many who reside in
neighbOring counties, to see how
we'll the prices for tobacco have held
up on the Kinston market-even for
very inferior grades.
HAY.
1t was, for many years, the talk
that hay could not be raised to any
considerable extent anywhere in
Eastern North Carolina. But it has
never been true It is true that not
many farmers made an effort TO oul-
tivate this crop or to save the native
grass that grew without cultivation.
But, for several years past, we have
frequently seen magnificent loads of
splendid native hay coming into our
town. Ten times as much could
easily be produced with little effort.
One of our physicians, who is also
farmer, makes a very large crop of
mixed crab grass and cow pea vines,
on his place near town. The crab
grass requiring no seeding, the
ground is we'll plowed in the spring
and the peas broadoasted-that's all.
The yield is enormous in weight and
exceedingly nutritious. Abundance
of hay can be made in Eastern North
Carolina.

kb0ut sfBIoOd Purtners0 and ssTOnics
Every drop OF blood, every bone,
nerve and tissue in the body can
be renewed in but one way, and
that is. from wholesome food prop
erly digested. There is no other
way and the idea that a medicine
it itself can purify the blood or sup
ply new tissues and strong nerves
is ridiculous on on a par with
the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or in
digestion is germ disease or that
other fallacy, that a weak stomach
which refuses to digest food can
be made to do so, by irritating and
inflaming the bowels by pills and
cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure
indigestion, sour stomach. gas ard
bloating after meals, because they
furnish the digestive principles
which weak stomachs lack, and I'M
less the deficiency of pepsin AMI
diastase is supplied it is useless to
attempt to cure stomach trouble by
the use of "tonics'' pills" and
.cathartics' which have absolute
ly no digestive power, and their
only effect is to give a temporary
stimulation.
One grain of the active principle
in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest 5000 grains of meat, eggs and
similar foods and experiments
have shown that they will do this
in a glass bottle at proper temper
allure, but of course are much more
effective in the stomach.
There is probably no remedy so
universally used as Stuart's Tablets
because it is not only the sick and
ailing, but well people who use
them at every meal to insure per-
feet digestion and assimilation of
the food.
People who enjoy fair health
take Stuart's Tablets as regularly
as they take their meals, because
they want to keep well, prevention
is always better than cure and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do both;
they prevent indigestion and they
remove it where it exists. The reg
ular use of one or two of them
after meals will demonstrate their
merit and efficiency better than
any other argument.

to secure at least equal representation
upon all the standing committees. The
slate arranged by the committee on
committees cannot go through. 1t is
likely that it will be re-committed; if
not, it will be revised in open meet
ing. 1t is possible that there will be
compromise between the two
branches, by which the Democrats will
have a majority on the police COM
mittee, and the Republicans majority
on the fire committee
Another possibility is that the Demo

method by which R. F. Hill was
