DIR. Kilgore's Review of Soil Survey
Work in North Carolina.

-
culture, commenced a systematic
vestigation of the soils of the State
in May, 1900. In this work the soils
of the areas are gone over and care
fully examined by an experienced
Judge of soils, and wherever IN any
part of the State the same type OF
soil is found it's amount and bounda-
ries are indicated by the same color
in accurately prepared maps. The
examination extends to a depth usual
ly of three feet. 4 large number
of samples from virgin and Guilt
waited areas have been collected and
have been and are being analysed
physically by the Bureau of Soils
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, to ascertain the kinds
and amounts of the various materi-
ais, as sand, clay, silt, etc., of which
they are composed; and chemically
by this Department to determine the
total and reasonably readily avail
able plant food constituents IN
them. No pains are being spared by
us to make these analyses accurate
and thorough, and when completed
and considered in connection with
the results of our field experiments
on the test farms and the Expert
ment Station, will greatly add to our
knowledge of the natural and reserve
fertility of our different kinds of
soils and their artificial plant food
requirements.
The influence of the kind of soil
on the production of different crops
to best advantage is being recognized
as of more Importance as expert
mental work in different lines adj
vances. All types of soil are better
adapted to some crops than to 9th
ers, and some plants and fruits will
only grow to the greatest degree
of perfection on the type soil that
best furnishes the conditions for
their development. This adaptable
ity of plants to soils is we'll illustra-
ted in the phenomenal success of the
Rocky Ford cantaloupe, the ordinary
Melted gem of other sections, in the
Arkansas Valley; the growth of fine
Cuban and Samaritan tobaccos on
certain soils in the Connecticut Val
ley and elsewhere in the United
States; the removal of the bright
tobacco industry Of this State from
It's former home in the central and
piedmont sections of the State to
the same, but more abundant type
of soil in the Eastern part of the
State, and the production of that
finest of all apples-the Albemarle
pippin-only on it's characteristic
type of soil-moist, loose, black, feds
pathic soil of the mountains of Vir-
ginia. ct should find an equally
congenial home on the same type
Of soil in our m]ountains.) 1t seems,
then, highly important that each
State should seek out as far as it
can the kinds of soil which are best
adapted to its different crops. Be

Grazing and Feeding Experiments with
Pigs.
Pigs.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The following plants were tested
as hog food On the farm of the Ex-
pertinent Station at Auburn, the
hogs doing the harvesting; these
plants are available for use in the
months indicated:
Spanish peanuts, August to De
cember.
Chufas, November to March.
Cowpeas, July to November.
Sweet potatoes, August to NOvem-
Der.
Sorghum, July to November.
Vetch and oats, March, April and
May.

from one-fourth to one-half of the
usual ration Of grain. If we assume
that of this grain, five pounds was re
Quired to produce one pound of in
crease in live weight, we have left
the following amounts of growth of
shoats attributable to one acre of
each crop after ~deducting the in
crease due to the grain consumed:
An acre of peanuts in Z tests aver
aged a net return of 333 pounds Of
growth, now worth $16.65.
Peanuts alone in two tests averaged
2S1 pounds, worth $14.O5.
Chufas in two tests averaged 3O7
pounds, worth $15.35.
COwpeas in two tests averaged 229
pounds, worth $11.45.
Essex rape in two tests averaged
452 pounds, worth $22.5O.
Sorghum in two tests averaged
ia pounds, worth $3.50.
One acre of the best of these crops
(peanuts, rape and chufas), afforded
pasturage for one month for at least
% 10O-pound shoats, when a half ra-
ton of grain was fed.
It usually requires about 5 pounds
of grain to make one pound of
growth in live weight of such shoats
as these. However, when they grazed
on the crops named below, one pound
of increase in weight required only:
LII pounds of grain with peanuts:
$50 pounds of grain with chufas;
800 pounds of grain with cow
peas;
2.68 pounds of grain with rape;
$40 pounds of grain with sor-
ghum;
3.13 pounds of grain with sweet
potatoes.
Pigs grazing on sorghum fully
headed out, ate only u per cent less
grain per pound of growth than those
supported entirely on corn.
Shoats fed on a mixture of corn
meal and of 20 or 25 per cent cotton
seed meal in most experiments ate
but little food and made very slow
growth. In other experiments they
required only 3.84 and 4.68 pounds

DTGGAR,
Strawberry Crop in the CarOlinas.

Wilmington. n. c., March 2O.-The
strawberry and vegetable acreage in
the two CarOlinas is on the increase.
In strawberries the acreage increase
this year will be nearly fifteen per
cent over 1902. The acreage on the
Atlantic Coast Line in North Caro-
lima is 6,474 acres. This comprises
the greater portion of the strawberry
belt in the two States. The number
of growers is estimated at 2,4S6.
Many of these growers employ from
fifty to hundred hands during the
picking season, and it is safe to esti-
mate that $4,000 people are employ
ed during the shipping season, says
the East Carolina Fruit and Truck
Growers Journal. The Journal
says it is thus easily to be seer what
an enormous amount of money is
paid out in this section every year
that goes into daily circulation. Add
to this the sum total of the amount
returned to this section from the
berries and vegetables sold, and the
wonder is that the people of the
trucking district are not the most
prosperous and Independent on the
globe. The figures are astounding.
Raleigh Cor. Charlotte Observer:
The cotton receipts here to date this
season are 13,8O8 bales, against o.
$50 to this date last year. 1t is said
by cotton men that very little cotton
is held in this section. They do not
appear to think that there will be
an increase in acreage. The crop
last ear was large and firm, and
prices were good, and it is the cur
rent remark that the farmers are in
better plight than in many years.
The tobacco receipts here during the
season are something over 100000
pounds. This is regarded as quite
a good showing for a new market.
CIaud Barbee, who is deeply inter
ester in the development of the to-
bacco trade here, says the increase in
acreage in the territory tributary to
Raleigh will be so per cent. In some
townships in this county the acreage
will be doubled. He and other tobacco
men have bought a site for a ware
house, ~prize-house and perhaps a
stemmery.

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM.
Any Man over Fifty.

You can intrest any man over fifty
years OF age in anything that will make
him feel better, because while he may
not as yet have any positive organic dis
ease he no longer feels the buOyancy
and vigOr of twenty-five nor the free
dom from aches and pains he enjoyed in
earlier years, and he very naturally eX-
amines with interest any proposition
looking to the Improvement and preser-
walton of his health.
He viii notice among other things that
the stomach OF fifty is very different
one from the stomach he possessed at
twenty-five. That greatest care much be
exercised as to what is eaten and how
much of it. and even with the best of
care, there viii be increasing digestive
weakness with advancing years.
A proposition to perfect or improve the
digestion and assimilation Of food is one
which interests not only every man OF
fifty but every man, woman and child
of any age, because the whole secret of
good health good blood, strong nerves,
is to have q stomach which viii prompt
~ and thoroughly digest wholesome
food because blood, nerves. brain tissue
and every other constituent of the body
is entirely the product Of digestion. and
no medicine or health food can posi-
bly, create pure blood or restore shaky

ishing the daily wear and tear of the
body from mass of fermenting half d.
gested food.
in noround about way either; it wants di-
rect, unmistakable assistance, such as is
given by one or two Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
These tablets cure stomach trouble
because their use give the stomach q
chance to rest and recuperate: one Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contains di-
gestive elements sufficient to digest 5000
grains of ordinary food such as bread
meat eggs, etc.
The plan of dieting is simply another
name for starvation. and the use of pre-
pared foods and new fangled breakfast
foods simply makes matters worse as
any dyspeptic who has tried them

As DR. Bennett says, the only reason
can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia

How a Texas Conductor Lost q

THE RING CAME BACK.
Spotter Was Good Fellow
After All.
An Experience Of Value to Mr..
Jim Reilly.

The following good joke on a Texas
railroad conductor is related in the Gar

n0nths Of service on the road con-

honey through complacency in the mat

he collects fares.
The road is in the habit Of sending out
Inspectors every now and then TO get am
eye On the conductors who do theS1
things. the coming OF this inspector IS
generally we'll known. It, happened one
time that Jim Reilly, conductor on No.

was a handsome bit OF 1eWelry, and 1t
cost Mr. Reilly 800. He wore it con-

The inspector on his travels got into
conversation with Mr.. Reilly. He had
offered to buy his fare. and had been
firmly told that the company had rule
shout excess charges which excess
would be duly returned on presentation
of the slip which the conductor gave
him. They talked casually.
Thats a pretty nice ring you're
Wearin'," said the inspector.
Now. at that a great fear took hold
Of Mr.. Reilly. He knew the gentleman
ftr what he was. He knew, too, that an
emission concerning that ring would be
liable to attract some suspicion, for the
wages of conductors are not princely.
Therefore he lied
