CORRECTING POSTAL ABUSES.
[Des Moines Leader.l
Postmaster General Smith, himself a
newspaper publisher, has done more for
the legitimate publishing business than
has any postmaster general in the his
tory of the government. The crying
abuse in the newspaper world today is
the premium. 1t degrades the newspa-
per profession by creating the popular
impression that a newspaper is not an
article of value. 1t has brought against
legitimate publishers the competition Of
hundreds of illegitimate publications. 1t
has tended to the obliteration of profits,
thus making it more difficult for legiti-
mate publishers properly to serve their
readers. In every way 1t has been a
curse to the newspaper bushes and it is
we'll for 1t to be ended. The postofffce
department has an undoubted right to
withhold second-claas mail rates from
newspaper premiums in it's circulating
department. 1t is misappropriation
of postal funds to use postoffice income
to make up the deficiency arising from
abuse of second-class mail privileges
The reputable publishers of the country
should rally to the support of this policy
OF the postoffice department.

day. On the car were two young men
who occupied seats on opposite sides of
the central aisle, and one of these kept
cycling the other so persstently and for
so long a time that the latter spoke up
and said:

the other, and then added: You're

THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT
PLACE.

Everybody is congratulating Mr.. ]. A.
Long. the president of the State Fair,
upon it's marked success. The Society
is fortunate in having such a wise, sue
cessful and public spirited citizen in
that high position. With the intelligent
cooperation of the other officers, he
has made the Fair of 1902 a memorable
one.
Yesterdays Raleigh Christian Advo-
cate prints the picture Of Mr.. Long that
appeared in Sundays News and Observer
and paid Mr.. Long this we'll deserved
compliment:
eve take pleasure in presenting this
week to our readers Hon. j. A. Long, OF
Roxboro, president of the North Caroline
Agricultural Society, known as the State
Fair. His vigorous and up-to-date man
agement has made the Fair, which is
in progress this week the greatest in the
history of the State.
He is a strong factor in the industrial,
life of North Carolina, being one of the
largest property holders in the State
He is farmer, merchant, banker cottor

%facturer. The Lynchburg and Durham
Railroad is a practical product of his re
ourceful brain. AS State Senator he has
achieved an enyiable reputation in the
| political world.
But the character Of ]. A. Long AS {
Christian gentleman is his richest pos.
session. He is a member Of the Method
list church in Roxboro, and is a verita
BILE Sunday school and prayer meeting
Methodist. His place in these meeting
is never vacant when he is at home
His name is a tower of strength in tn
cause Of --ghteousness in his section,
THE State is to be congratulated OF
having him as the president Of the Fair.
The people Of the State will be graft
fed to know that Mr.. Long was unani
mously reelected President of the Fair
His private interests made it a sacrific
for him to serve, but with the publ
spirit that always characteriZes him h
could not resist the urgent demand mad
upon him, and he accepted the position

What does the negro question mean,
1t means that a weak people are now

slightly smutte when really it may be
per cent.
Now We come to the most important
part Of the Question-how to prevent this
disease which causes SO much damage
to the cereal crops and loss to the farm
ers. We must do something to keep the
smut spores away for the first three or
four lays; for after the plant is this old,
the smut cannot hurt it. The only way
to keep this smut away from the young
plant is to kill the spores on the seed.
The best, cheapest and most efficient
substance for this is formalin. This
formalin can be purchased from a drug
gist at the cost of fifty to ninety cents
per pound. One pound mixed thoroughly
with forty or fifty gallons of water is
, sufficient for forty bushels of grain. To
treat the grain the best and most eff
cient method is to spread it in a thin
layer On a smooth floor and sprinkle with
the diluted formalin, using either a
spraying machine or a watering pot so
as to thoroughly and EVENLY wet the
grain with the mixture. Then shovel the
grain over thoroughly a few times to
insure even distribution and cover the
pile with canvas, carpets, or blankets to
keep the fumes of the formalin in. The
pile should stand from six to twelve
hours in this way. We should never
keep the grain on hand after treating it
as there is danger of it's becoming infect
ed with smut spores again. 1t is best
to plant it within a day or so after treat
ment and be careful to not expose the
grain to any spores.
1 have here a table given as a result OF
an experiment performed by the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station of Illinois
for cat smut, showing the great gair
from it's use. Such results as these
prove conclusively the practical anc
economical nature of the treatment. Il
all the farmers in our State would try
this experiment and adopt the formalir
treatment they would have much bette
grain crops.

ANOTHER YELP FROM BOSTON.

Rev. w. H. Scott, a negro preacher in
Massachusetts, and others who have
long-distance love for negroes, managed
to induce the Governor Of Massachusetts
to hold up the requisition for the negro
Rogers, who is soon to be tried in Dur
ham for arson. But their duty was so
plain that the attorney general and the
governor we're at last forced to honor the
requisition. Rev. Scott is out in a card
addressed to the negro voters in the
Boston Traveller, berating those officials
from which we take the following:
You will be called upon in about
three weeks to cast your ballot for
State officers, members of the Legisla-
ture and Congress. We have been bound
by party lines and have not been dis
posed to break from them. The party
which we have helped keep in power for
thirty years has come to the conclusion
that it cannot carry us further; that
the negro is the Jonah on the ship, so in
order that the G.. o. P. may land her
cargo he must be thrown overheard. l
accept the gauntlet as thrown down. A
party is a s~oulless organization which is
not seeking to help humanity. That
party will do anything to get votes. If
this be true, which l will assume for
arguments sake, then a party has a
right to unload any burden which may
be Objectionable to its progress, i. e., II
We Judge from the present condition OF

not compar these leaders to such lead
ers as Abraham Lincoln, U. S. Grant

men were for human rights. | confess
the condition of the negro in this coun.
try is an anomaly. Neither party wants
him. and if he looks only at the presen'
of all men he is the most miserable
But this condition is not permanent. l

1t is not possible that 1000, 900 loya
citizens can be treated so always. Co
is on the side of right.
The Acknowledgement Of the negro il
the South has been met with entir,
satisfaction by the G.. O.. P.
The removing of the negro from offic
by the G. O. p. to make room for tn
whites is an evidence of this fact.

SOIL CULTURE AND LEGUMES.
When the fertility of the soil had been
almost exhausted and the farmer was
dispairing OF ever restoring II, the
scientist stepped in and largely solved
the problem. In 1883 Hellriegel discov-
cred that there were certain microscopic
organisms in the soil. which. when
legumes were available for host plants,
had the ability to fix the free nitro
gen of the air. Since that time the
Alabama Experiment Station has found
out that COW meas and crimson clover
were able TO assimiliate as much as one
hundred and forty pounds OF nitrogen per
acre or as much as the farmer buys
in three tons of fertilizer. AT present
prices of nitrogen an acre OF COW peas
adds about $50 worth OF nitrogen TO the
soil. The South is especially blessed IN
having two of the most valuable of the
legumes growing easily, COW peas. the
summer legumes and crimson clover, the
winter growing one. With these the land
need never be idle. To get best results
| certain conditions are necessary. The
germs that can use the plant for 2 host
must De III the SOll as q germ "hiSh
grows on COW peas cannot grow on clover
! or vetches. These germs can be secured
bv getting soil from a field where
the legumes has been grown, or the
germs may be bought, being sold under
the name of nitrogene. These inocula-
tons have been found to double the yield
The air must get to the roots of the
plant in order that the germs may live
and may get the nitrogen to fix. The
| soil must not be acid for the germs can
not live IN an acid.
Aside from their manual value legumes
serve as a forage crop. Indeed, the best
way to dispose of a crop of these is to
! cut the hay, feed it to cattle and return
the manure to the soil
In addition to these values legumes
serve as smoother crops. The oWpea is
especially useful for this purpose when
sowed after wheat or oats as it keeps
down weeds, adds nitrogen and shades
the ground so that the nitrifying germs
may do their work.
The COW pea has we'll been called 1.-The
poor mans bank" and this saying might
be extended to include the other legumes.
