THIS WEEKS PAPER-soME RANDOM
COMMENTS.

Mr.. Archer, too, has something to
say regarding the drift of young men
from this to other States. The big
fact that in this generation we have
sent out practically four times as
many persons to other States as all
the other States have sent to us ought
to start our people on a search for the
cause of this condition. Of this emf
grafton we have more to. say in an
other column.
"We cannot hope to have fruit any
more unless we spray our orchards"
said our Mt. Olive correspondent last
week. Such expressions are often
heard, and indicate a general awaken
ing to the force of facts that have
been often set forth in The Progress
sive Farmer. This week Entomologist
Sherman again brings the matter to
the attention of our readers.
The letter on "HogolOgy" is a puz-
zle; we do not know whether or not
the writer intends to be taken serious
Iy in any part of it. Meat from hogs
allowed to fatten in filth is really "not
fit for a civilized Christian gentleman
to eat" and we take it that this plea
for cleaner quarters is the real mean
ing of "Uncle Ben's" irony.
1t is wrong to judge a man by
the coat he wears, but many people
will do it; and a vastly larger number
are attracted by neat packing and dis
play of fruits and vegetables. There
is nc other work that pays the market
farmer better than that of putting
what a woman would call "the finish
ing touch" on whatever he has for
sale. Buyers always pay well for APP
pearances. This factis emphasized in
an article on page 8.
The formal starting of the Roanoke
island celebration scheme at a meet
ing held on the island last week gives
timeliness and appropriateness /. the
leading article on page 4 this week.
Whatever may have been the eccen-
tricities of Joseph Seawell Jones, this
description of Roanoke Island is very
well done.
