New York, July 24.-Maj. George
NJ Barbour, who has been sanitary
commissioner in Santiago, Cuba, dur
ing the last four years, was here on
his way to Washington, where he
win report at the headquarters of
Brig. Gen. Wood. Since his arrival
from Cuba Mai. Barbour has visited
President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay,
and has given him much confidential
information concerning conditions in
tie island Maj. Barbour said to-
day; II estimate that in the province
Of Santiago alone there are now a.
600 unemployed laborers, and that
number is increasing daily. Idleness
means hunger and that viii progress
into starvation. and that. Of course,
must mean ultimately, riot, brigand-
age and anarchy. l regret to say
that troubles loom before President
Palma. They may come about in
three ways: There is now a bill in
the Cuban congress to pay 81 900
cash to each of mOre than 10000 al
legged Cuban soldiers. The list of ma
tive insurgents that fought against
Spain has swollen to that extent.
Every honest Cuban leader knows
that the list should not exceed 10000. i
If that bill involving the expenditure
Of over S70,d0O0O passes the con
gress, believe that President Palma
will veto It. That viii participate an
open breach between the execu-
tive and the legislative branches
Of the insnlar government
A second trouble ahead viii arise
out Of the discrepancy between pub
lie revenues and expenditures. The
revenues are now about Si5,00O,000 a
year. The American administration
kept within that. and at the same
time performed public works. cleaned
the cities, established schools. main
tanned the police and perfected the
charitable institutions and hospitals
But the Cuban expenditures are now
estimated al about S27, 100000 for the
next fiscal year Moreover. the rev
enue from customs win be impaired
because of smuggling, which has al
ready assumed large proportions. |
Great quantities Of goods are now
brought over from Jamaica. escap-
ing all duty. The third trouble that
faces President Palma is the prospect
Of armed violence. That. when il
comes. will probably take the form |
of brigandage, Of attacks upon PLAN
tations, Of demands for money and |
supplies by bands Of unemployed |
laborers."

till next Spring, but it is safe to pre-
dict a successful outcome.
Recent experiments in Illinois in
inoculating the soil for alfalfa in
quantities ranging from 800 to 1920
pounds of old soil per acre show that
all of the inoculated plots yielded
better than the uninoculated plots
but that the best results were from
plots receiving the heaviest applica-
tion.
It is desirable that further exper-
iments be carried on in this State to
the end that the best method of
growing these and other legumes be
established.
We can, of course, grow the cow
pea to perfection without inoculat-
ing the soil because nearly all cult
waited lands contain the necessary
bacteria, but we desire, also. to grow
the fall sown legumes which mature
in the spring and which can be har-
vested before it is time to SOW cow
peas. This is not difficult matter
on soils which have plenty of avail
able nitrogen, but on soils which are
poor in nitrogen it will prove ben
eft to inoculate them.

HARRY FARMERS TALKS.


Editor OF The Progressive Farmer:
The peanut or ground pea is sup
posed to have been imported into the
United States from some tropical
country, perhaps Africa. While it
grows in the ground it has it's begin
ming above the surface. The leaves
look very much like those of red
clover. The blossom is a bright yel
low and is not unlike that of the COW
pea except it is smaller and of diff
ferent color.
VARIETIES OF PEANUTS
There are several kinds, but only
five varieties are grown much in this
State. The common peanut is about
~ inches long and about 38 inche
in diameter. The pods have about 3
kernels each. This is the peanut
usually seen on the market. Then
there is the Virginia peanut which
is nearly twice the size of the ordi-
nary kind. These two varieties
spread out over the ground. The
limbs lying close to the ground and
some times grow to the length of five
feet.
The next one most extensively cul-
tivated is known as the Spanish pea
nut. The pods of this variety are
very small but are nearly always well
filed. The plant has leaves and bios

THE INCUBATION OF SOILS.

Superintendent McNair Writes of an In
teresting Test Made at the Southern
Pines Farm.
Editor OF The Progressive Farmer:
That leguminous plants, such as
clovers, peas, beans, alfalfa, etc., ben
eft the soils on which they grow is
a fact that was established years and
even centuries ago, but the reason
for their benefcent action was not
definitely known until the researches
of Hellriegel and others in the last
quarter century demonstrated the
existence of "host plants" upon their
roots which render benefits to their
host and receive benefits in return.
All that has been written in recent
years about the ability of leguminous
plants to gather nitrogen from the
air and about the "warts," '9umps,"
'A9dules," "tubercles" or call them
what you will, that are found upon
their roots amounts simply to this:
1. That certain minute microscop-
ic plants known as bacteria" attach
themselves to the roots of legumi-
nous plants and multiply, forming
colonies which are popularity called
"nodules" or "tubercles."
2. That these colonies of bacteria
gather some of their nourishnent
from their host, or the plant to
which they have become attached;
but, in return, pay for their keep
and more too by gathering nitrogen
from the air that is in the air spaces
of the soil, and passing it on to their
host for the benefit of the latter.
The leguminous plant is the host
and the bacteria are guests, yet the
guests work for the host and keep
him supplied with that most expen-
sive and valuable plant food-nitro-
gen.
Now it is the law of heredity that
like produces like. Wheat produces
wheat, potatoes produce potatoes and
bacteria produce bacteria; but if
there are no bacteria in the soil there
can be no multiplication of bacteria.
If the leguminous plant (host)
finds no bacteria (guest) in the soil
it must do without the atmospheric
nitrogen which those guests labor to
supply.
1t so happens that there are many
soils which have no bacteria or which
have so few that they are of little
use during the first year that the
crop occupies the soil; or, perhaps
the soil may be well supplied with
eowpea bacteria but it may have no

SONS put like. other kinds, but grow
nearly erect, only falling down when
matured. This is the earliest variety
and makes the fewest "pops" or faul-
ty peas, and is used for fattening
hogs. It is not considered a good
pea to eat.
The next variety (called Texas)
that has been cultivated to any ex-
tent is a large pea something like
the Virginia pea but has from one to
four kernels in the pods. This va
riety contains more oil than any 9TH
er. The plant has an upright growth
like the Spanish and the thin skin or
covering of the kernel is red, while
that of others is buff or brownish
color. This variety is not consider
ed good to eat on account of the oil
and favor of the COW pea.
The latest is known as the Baldwin
pea. It resembles the Spanish in
growth and size excepting the num-
Der of kernels to the pod. It con-
tains from to 4 kernels to each pod
and more of the latter number than
that of the former It was origi-
mated by Mr.. John r. Baldwin who
lives in the upper part of Columbus
County near the line of Bladen
County.
lEXTENsIvENEss OF THE PEANUT
INDUSTRY
Peanuts play a larger part in the
commercial operations in the South
than most farmers are aware of.
They are the staple crop of several
counties around Wilmington, N. c.,
besides all the sandy plains along the
coast from Georgetown, S. O., to
Norfolk, Va. The first named city
used to be the largest market for
peanuts in the world but Norfolk is
now giving her tight race.
In this latitude they can be plant

stir until the thin skin or husk will
rub off easily, remove the pot from
the fire and stir until they cool off
and then you will have them at their
