FARMING IN WESTERN COUNTIES.

Farming is the backbone of all in
dustry, the center of all prosperity.
How long will it take the people of
Wilkes to learn this factP Here are
thousands of acres of land that is as
rich, and with four years proper cul-
tivation, could be made as produc-
tive as the land of Illinois or Penn
sylvania. These lands have been
here since creations dawn and have
scarcely furnished the birds insects,
and animals that inhabit them a
scanty living. What is the matter ?
Our people do not study farming
they do not farm. Here where could
be one of the finest cattle-growing
sections in the world, butter selling
at 90 cents a pound, our people are
bowling hard times, and not dairy
in the county, and not a hundred
head of cattle exported from the
county in a year. Here in the broad
Yadkin bottoms and broad and fer
tile meadows of the smaller streams
not enough forage is raised to supply
the county Everything else is
equally bad. Instead of farming the
people seem to prefer TO peel tan
bark and hew CROSS ties in the sum
mer and hunt rabbits and 'possums
in the winter. Generations have
idled away their lifetimes with
these golden opportunities all around
them; and succeeding generations
are following suit Why don'tsome
one set an example and get others to
follow.-C., in Wilkesboro, N. G ,

for all their good to him. He has
exterminated the ,dodo, the great
aux, the Labrador duck, and is fast
driving to extinction the ivory billed
woodpeoker, the wild pigeon, the
white egret, and others of our plume
birds as we'll as many of our song
birds.
It ir the hope of the promoters of
this organization that the subject of
bird study may find hearty reoep-
tion in the minds of the good people
of our State who are interested in
seeing that our native birds are pre-
served from extinction, who are in
terested in learning more about the
wild life about them, and who desire
that the subject ef kindness to all
wild creatures shall be inculcated in
the minds of the children.

AN OUTING FOR THE FARMER AND HIS
FAMILY AT THE EAST TENNESSEE
FARMERS CONVENTION, MAY
21sT, 22ND AND 23RD.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Next week the East Tennessee
Farmers Convention will convene in
Knoxville, and it is doubtful if a
finer array of agricultural talent has
ever been brought to address a farm
ers' meeting. Men who are special
lists in every line will be there men
both successful and practical as we'll
The railroads have come TO the aid
of the farmers and granted single
fare rate from all East Tennessee
territory, so that the cost of attend
ing the Convention has been reduced
to minimum. A good many farm
ers will say it comes at busy season
of the year, but it is doubtful if the
Convention were held at any other
time if they would find it more con-
venient to leave home. Any pro
gressive farmer can afford to spare
the time, as he will learn enough to

And what better time can be chosen
TO give the family holiday outingp
They will have delightful time and
the memory of the Convention will
be a treasured ''bright spot

work and no play makes Jack dull
boy" and that is one reason why the
boy and the girl want to leave the
farm. Business men of every class
and description find it necessary TO
meet in convention to discuss their
interests; TO go TO school, as it were
and get new ideas. Certainly it is
as essential for the farmer.
A cordial invitation is extended TO
every one. Come along and swell
the numbers attending the COnven
tion and have a pleasant and enjoy
able time and you will never regret

In the first month of a new year
we incline to compare our financial
condition with that of the previous
twelve months, trying TO learn what
headway we are making. Very often
there is not big gain in cash, but
like farming for the very reason
that there is constant opportunity
for investing surplus dollars or extra
labor in permanent improvements
that add to the value of our capital.
AS we go along through the year we
are following out plans that give Us
a better soil or better stock or better
improvements, increasing our earn
ing power for the future This is
better than the accumulation of
some money that would not bring US
much income if safely invested in a
loan or some outside enterprise The
farm is the best bank for majority
of US, and if it is improving we are
gaining each year, even if little sur
plus cash is laid by.-David, in Farm
and Fireside.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-05-20

It is a we'll known fact that some
farmers grow twice as many bushels
per acre, or twice as many poands,
or tons as the case may be, as many
others do. Is it luck that enables
them TO do thisP Don't you believe
it or if you do, believe also that the
man who knows how to do this is
lucky in his knowledge. 1t is all in
knowing how and doing it. Would
it not be a good idea TO set about
finding out the true secret of good
crops and adopt the same general
plan? No farmer should permit q
neighbor to make better drops than
he does without having an "investi-
CATION" While our representatives
at Austin are developing a mania for
investigating every chip under
which a possible bug may be in hid
ing, let farmers start a general in
vestigation of the methods of those
who persist in making better crops
than the average, and keep 1t up
year after year as if merely TO
humiliate their less successful neigh
hors.-Farm and Ranch.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-05-20

contrary. Where the fungus was
used in wet weather, the results
were all that could have been asked
in dry weather it made small in
roads on the insects. And so, we
must make further experiments
along these lines for another season,
and then hope to be able to deter
mine whether or not the South Afri-
can fungus will do all thatis claimed
for it. 1 will treat the subject at
length in the new Yearbook of the
Department..
"Insect life after all is nothing
more than a reproduction of the
everyday affairs of the human
family-one band preying upon an
other in order that they may live.
Instead of a form where might is
the winner of the battle, success
crowns the efforts of those who live
by stealth and avarice.
THE LoCUsTs.
"This latter form of those who
work in silence, their neighbors un-
conscious of their labors, is repre-
sented in insect life by the seven
teen year cicada, which for seven
teen years has been existing under
ground, undergoing the various
changes of it's life until il will emerge
this month in suoh numbers as to
cause alarm among the uneducated.
But aside from considerable twig
pruning, they are not so devastating
as one might believe. That the
oioads will appear very soon, am
not in the least doubtlng-they will
come just as sure as the sun rises
regularly and they will go with the
same precision. We have records
reaching back for the last hundred
or hundred and fifty years of the
appearance of the periodical cioada
in different localities and the brood
which appeared in such vast num-
bers in the Eastern and Middle
States in 1885 is the parent of the
family which appears this year"
That the work of
FOREST DESTRUCTION
is still going on is evidenced by re-
ports from Maine in which state
ment is made that more than 300,
600, 900 feet of lumber will be cut
this year. About one-half of this
harvest is utilized by the largest
pulp and paper mill in the world
located as Millinooket.

MEXICO CITY. June 6--Leopold
Batres conservator of national monu-
ments, has returned from his expforat-
lions of the ruins of Zapotean cities
in the state of Oxaca. Among other
discoveries he found the ruins of an
ancient city on Monte Alban, which
shows unmistakable evidence OF hAv-
ing been submerged perhaps 5000
years ago. for traces of extinct ma
rine life were uncovered
In the ruins is an obelisk similar to
those in Egypt, which was found
placed to the entrance of tomb ex-
actly as was the custom In Egypt.
Mr. Batres will maze detailed report
of this remarkable prehistoric city to
the government.
Monte Alban was visited some time
ago by Professor Holmes of the Smith
sonian Institution of washington. 1t
stands 1900 feet nigher than the City
Of Oxaca. and its central square was
surrounded by great temples.

Blind Billy, an old-time Indian resi-
dent on the Colville reservation, was
brutally murdered few nights ago by
friends and relatives of Indian Quests
kan and Indian Sam Miller, who are
now en- route to the penitentiary In
Walla Walla to serve long sentences
for the killing of Chelan Willie. 1t
was in Blind Blllys cabin that Chelan
Willie was murdered. At the trial
Blind Billy testified against the pris-
oners, whose voices he had recognized
during the fight.
After Quesiskan and Miller started
for prison their relatives and friends
went to Brewster and got intoxicated.
Then they went to Billy's cabin at
night, One Of the savages seized Billy
from behind placed his knee against
the blind mans back and drew his
head backward until the neck and back
were broken, The flesh on Billy's
throat and chest were torn loose. A
souaw who had hidden in terror in
Billy's cabin saw the deed She
brought the news to Conconully, and
an effort is being made to capture the
murderers.
