WASHINGTON LETTER.
lErom our Regular Correspondent


Editor Press
The people of the United States
did not require demonstration of
the fact that their President is en-
tirely fearless or that he proposes
to administer the affairs of the
government with absolute justice,
regardless of his own political for
tunes, but they have received it in
the courageous position assumed
by the President with regard to
the employment of union labor in
the various departments of the
government. The case of William
Miller, an assistant foreman of the
government printing office, called
forth from the President the enun-
citation of policy which for fifty
years no president has dared pro-
claim. This is to the effect that
no discrimination shall be made
between union and non union
labor in the employ of the Govern
ment. Mr.. Roosevelt cites the
decision of the Anthracite Coal
Strike Commission in support Of
his decision, the commission having
decided that men in the coal mines
must not be Disseminated against
because they were not members of
a union.
Miller was dismissed by the Pub
lie Printer because he had been ex-
PEELED from the Bookbinder's
Union. Miller's crime was an at
tempt to save money for the gov
ernment by insisting on the per-
formance of more work than the
union permitted his subordinates
to do. 1t must be understood that
the Bookbinder's Union in Wash
ington precribed a limit to the
amount of work which each man
shall perform in day, Finally,
when Miller refused to the dicta-
ton OF the union, he was expelled
from its membership and immed-
lately discharged by the Public
Printer for that reason, proceeding
which Mr.. Roosevelt characterizes
aslackingin in elementary decency."
The President promptly ordered
Miller reinstated. This has been
done. The bookbinders have now
filed charges win the Public Print
er which they believe will
prove ample to warrant Miller's
discharge but they have also is
sued a statement to the effect that
they cannot work in the Office
with Miller but will be compelled
to strike if he is retained in his pre-
sent position. The unfortunate
part of the situation is that the
constitution of the union conflicts
with the laws of the United States
so that if the Public Printer should
not find ground for discharging
Miller he could not, according
to law, dismiss him and the bind
ers, according to the laws of their
union, could not remain. If,
again, the binders were to strike,
they would be conspiring against
the government and could n ever
be reinstated without a change of
the United States statutes by Con-
gress. What the outcome of this
peculiar situation will be it is i'm
possible to predict. In several
similar instances previous Presi-
dents have lodged the issue and
now that President Roosevelt has
met it squarely there are many
who believe it will not cost him
the sensible labor vote of the coun-
try. The Government is still q
little bigger than any union,
whether of capital, or of labor, and
sensible capitalists and laborers
will see that it stays bigger.

BUILDING UP WORKOUT CLAY
LANDS.

vers' Convention, Raleigh, July II,
1903, by E. W. Brawley, Esq, of
Heden County, N. C.
The granite found near Moores-
vile are generally coarse grained,
containing large crystals of feldspar,
hornblend gneiss, micacoeus schists
and soapstone. When these weather
deeply they give the distinctive red
or Cecil clay. Another granite IS
found with diorite, which weathers
into a yellow, impervious clay, even
more tenacious than the red. These
clays seem to have been originally
covered with a deposit of gray loan,
full of quartz, but on slopes and hill
sides, under long civilizations, this has
washed and blown to the basins or
disappeared down the creeks and
rivers, leaving the more tenacious
clays exposed.
When these erosions have been go
ing on for some time the soil is err
~roneously said to be worn out, simply
because it does not produce such
good crops under the same conditions
of tillage as the freshly cleared loan.
Instead of being worn out, they
are scratched out, washed and gull
lied down to the unweathered red
clay and this residual red clay soil
or subsoil, according to the chemical
analysis is richer in mineral matter,
especially potash, than the lighter top
soils; and the beauty of it is that it
usually reaches down from 2 to Is
feet, and often to the fast rock.
Regardless of this chemical fact,
we farmers know that these newly
exposed clays do not produce crops
like the original sandy loan. We
also know that it takes both time
and labor in abundance to restore
them to the original new ground con-
ditions; for the stores of plant food
there are In an inert form and must
be prepared for the use of the plant.
To unlock this inert food for the
plants immediate use is termed build
ing up the land.
The more plant food we are able
to take out of the land with a crop,
the richer the land is said TO be-. So
the building up of worn out lands
resolves itself into the most inge-
NOUS method of robbing the soil of
its inert stores of plant food by re-
munerative crops.
The drainage of our Piedmont
lands is generally good, owing to the
character of their formation. Small
fragments of stone scattered through
the clays give the rains a chance to
penetrate if only time is given. The
finer the clay particles the more i'm
pervious they become, and here some
artificial means must be resorted to,
such as tile drainage, to let water
into the soil and carry off the sur

REooRD OF A 15.AoRE O
Bear with me till I give the b;s.
tory of one other piece of Is acro.
which has been in cultivation abou+
so years. Most of the top soil had
gone to the red clay. When I bought
it in 1896 the yield Of wheat was 91I
bushels per acre.
AS it was late, peas were scratched
in, and in the fall it was broken with
two horses, followed by two-horse
subsoiler; good rolling. narrowing
and fertilizing done, and rye sown,
In the spring when rye was in bloom
it was turned with a 16-inch pillow and
three mules, and after the usual har-
rowing and rolling, peas were drilled
in with 400 pounds of acid and pot
ash.
That summer chip manure, scrap
ings from cotton mill, wood yard
with some rich soil, was hauled onto
the worst places. In September all
was turned under, and everything
done to procure a stand of clover
sown with the wheat. In the spring
the wheat was gone over with weeder
and clover seed sown again where
it had winter killed. My wheat crop
averaged about eight bushels per
acre, at a cost of $1.45 per bushels,
and the clover failed only in spots.
These were mown and scattered over
the bald places with other refuse. In
1899, after turning for wheat, sew
eral hundred bushels of raw cotton
seed we're also scattered over these
gals. On a fine, smooth seed bed,
wheat was drilled in with 800 pounds
per acre of a high grade fertilizer.
At harvest my yield was a little
over 20 bushels per acre.
Land was hastily prepared, fertil-
lied and peas sown for hay and stub
BILE sown in crimson clover.
A fine chance of clover was ready
to be turned for cotton in 1901, which
was planted and cultivated fiat. The
field averaged a net profit of $12.50
per acre, and the lint cost me in ac-
tual work, after deducting the cash
gotten for the seed, $2.53 per hun
dred. And could I have gotten A
cents per bushel for my seed, L would
have had my lint free of cost. As
this cotton was very late in matur'
ing, I decided to plant again in cot
ton and raise a cheap crop. A deer
furroW was run through the mlddleS
then a railroad iron was dragged
square across the rows, breaking Oh
the old stalks and dragging them IN
to the furrow, a complete fertilizer
was put in and listed on and stalks
plowed out. Ridges we're then drag
ged down and rolled where the
ground was cloddy, and cotton
planted.
This yield was heavier, averaging
315 pounds of lint per acre, at {
cost of S. .1O-the cheapest cotto1
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-08-04

600 pounds of a complete fertilizer.
At harvest the clover was clipped
off also. The lime, the fertilizer, and
the thorough culture of the cotton
had given a splendid stand.
During the summer and fall the
clover was mown and raked up on
the best places only to be scattered
on the heavier clays.
The following spring the best was
taken for hay, and that on the poorer
left where it was mown and all the.
trimmings of fencerows and ditch
banks near by were hauled and scat
tered there. In August, 1899, this
second growth of clover was turned;
seed bed well prepared with disk and
dray harrows used alternately with
a $500 pound roller till middle of
October, when wheat was drilled in
with about 600 pounds of acid phos-
plate. In March, 1900, a dressing Of
$50 pounds of nitrate of soda was
given. The yield was "a bushels, or
% bushels per acre.
After the wheat, peas were put in
and all mown for hay; crimson clover
was sown at once and turned in the
spring of 1901, for a variety test of
cotton. Of all the 16 varieties the
Improved King gave the best yield
of lint. Last year the stalks were,
dragged, then run around with side
pillow and plowed out with a heavy
team and large straight shovel. A
two-horse slant tooth harrow was
dragged across the rows to put stalks
in the deep trenches, and two fur
rows were turned back on them and
land narrowed with the rows, the
corn planter following in every row,
as the cotton had been planted in
four-foot rows. AS the corn was
coming up it was again narrowed,
regardless of rows, leaving land level.
Soon a long narrow bulltongue was
run close around the corn and as
deep as one horse could pull it, and
again ground narrowed with two
horse harrow.
About every ten days two more
close, deep burrows were cut off the
middle with b~ulltongue, it taking
about eight burrows to finish, and
from 40 to so days after the corn
had been planted. In this time the
narrow c%ultivators had gone around
the corn twice.
After the middles were finished,
corn from Is to "a inches high, moth
ing but broad cultivators were used
cutting about two inches deep until
silks appeared, when peas were sown
and cultivators run for the last
time.
Fodder was taken, including the
first blade above the ear, and tops
cut later. When corn was gathered
it measured 35 bushels per acre.
The stalks while standing were cut
into six inch lengths with corn knife,
and then the peas and all chopped
fine with disk harrow, and oats and
