Strong drink makes weak men.

Strong drink makes weak men.
Benhadad was a mighty king until
he got drunk. His drunkenness sub
tracted from his strength to such an
extent that he became easy prey to
lsraePs smaller host. Drink is always
an ally of the forces that are oppos ed
TO one; 1t is never friend, but only
an enemy. When it presents itself
in the guise Of a friend it is a spy,
cOncealing its true nature.
Take a vote anywhere. except in a
liquor dealers convention and rum
will lose the verdict. Even in a COM
pany of drinkers it will be declared
an evil. The very men, wrecks of their
former selves, who are willing to sell
their manhood for the price of a glass
OF whisky will curse the liquor that
they covet. Alcohol has fewest friends
among those who know it best and
crave it most.
Defeat often begins and ends in
drink.
No man can afford to be sociable at
the cost OF strength. Yet it is conviv-
lal drinking that makes most drunk
ards. A man feels that he must be
Social, and SO he drinks with every
man who asks him, forgetting that his
obligation to be a self-controlled, self
respecting and clear Drained man is
greater than any obligation to be So
ciable.
The modern treating habit not only
makes the drinking man poorer in
purse, but what is far more serious.
1t makes him poorer in manhood.
A drunken king denies his own
klngliness. That applies to the man
whose kingship is his own manhood,
as We'll as to the king who inherits
crown from his grandfather. For a
man, a tall, sun crowned man, lord
over himself and over all the rest of
coos creation, to pour his manhood
and self-respect down his throat in
draughts OF poisonous liquor is a mar
vel that is one of the paradoxes of
life.
No man who intends to do a serious
work in the world can afford to nut
his brain and will in pawn to strong
drink.
Rum ruins but does not restore. We
see on every side of US men who have
lost fortune and character by drink.

OF a man who by drink has won back

Tobacco.

The last week in April or the first
week in May has heretofore been
about as early as most farmers could
get their tobacco plants ready to
set; and in fact it seemed early
enough to insure a healthy and Wig
orous growth of the plant. This
year the plants are from two to three
weeks earlier than usual, and we fear
that some of our tobacco growers will
get in too much of a hurry and "set
out" too soon, and we now caution
them not to do So Don't shove
your plants too much, and you had
better let them get a little old on
the bed than run the risk of a failure
with your crop by setting too soon.
You can keep your plants back by
rolling the cover off when the wealth
er will allow. Sometimes during
early April we have very cold snap
and little crust of freeze, and if
your plants should be set and such
weather come on them, they might
be ruined; but this is not the worst
danger; some tobacco planters of
long experience told US the other day
that if set too soon it might take
what is known to tobacco growers as
the "hard stalk" and then button
out" too low and be almost worth
less. Be careful.-Clinton Demo

Report of North Carolina Experiments
With Cotton and Corn.

The February Bulletin of the
State Department Of Agriculture,
which is now being sent out, con-
tains, in addition to registration of
fertilizers and fertilizer analyses, a
report of the results of tests of
large number of varieties of cotton
and corn on the Edgecombe and
Red Springs Test Farms of the De-
partment of Agriculture. Quite a
number of the varieties of these
crops have now been under expert
mentation for three years, which
gives added interest and value to the
results for three years. This shows
results for thre years. This shows
the varieties which have given the
highest yields in the three years
test. Experiments are also included
with different width rows and dis
tances in the rows of planting cot
ton and corn.
Farmers who do not get the Bull
letin regularly should send their
names to the Department of Agri-
culture, Raleigh, for it, as it is pub
Ished for their benefit. When
writing, ask for this February num-
Der, as the information given should
be of value to all growers of the two
great crops mentioned.

First Annual Statement of the Cotton
Crop Made Up from Ginners' Reports
North Cardinals Yield, 568,884.

Washington, April 1.-The Census
Bureau to-day made public the first
annual statement of cotton produc-
tion under the permanent organiza-
ton of that bureau. The statement
is made by VIM. NJ. Steuartchief,
statistician of manufactures. 1t
places the cotton production at 1O,-
63O,945"bales of 500 pounds each.
The total crop, including Enters, was
1925, ,1O5 commercial bales. The diff
ference in the figures in commercial
bales and 5OO-pound bales is due to
the fact that some of the commercial
bales are round bales, which contain
only 255 pounds or little more than
half the weight of the square bales.
The explanation is made that the
figures are the result of personal Wis
it's on the part of Census Office
agents to 32,753 ginneries. The
canvas extended until March %, but
at that time there was not much gin
ming of cotton. The production by
States in commercial bales is given
as follows: Alabama, 1,O11,325; Ar
kansas, 999,629; Florida, 67,287;
Georgia, 1889, ,199; Indian Territory,

Sweet Potatoes, Watermelons and Clay
Peas.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Now [ want to talk sweet potatoes
to you. Two years ago a very ener-
getic man bought land joining mine,
and he wanted to know if the soil
was good for potatoes. I told him I
had made forty bushels on one-eighth
of an acre. He went to figuring and
said that was three hundred and
twenty bushels to the acre and he
would plant two acres and make six
hundred and forty bushels and sell
them for three hundred and twenty
dollars. Now, you want to know how
he came out. Well, he made about
forty bushels of very faulty potatoes,
and he was mad and swore that sweet
potatoes and Blake johnson would
not do to depend on.
The reason he failed was because
he half-plowed, half-fertilized, and
poorly worked his potatoes. I
broadcast manure at the rate of six
teen loads to the acre and break and
ridge and ridge again, and then scat
ter guano with a high per cent of
potash at~the rate of three hundred
pounds to the acre in the middles,
and run a long plow through to mix
with the dirt, then make the ridges
on that and then knock the top off.
I see that my slips are set late in the
evening with a little water under
them and dry dirt on top of ground,
see that they are straight as a line,
so that I can run a harrow close to
them, and never allow a crust to
form on the ground. Try a small
patch this way, and see what you
can do.
Another thing I would like for you
to do is to select a good piece of
ground that does not get hard, and
have you a fine watermelon patch.
Don't put too much manure in the
hills, and thoroughly mix the dirt
with it, and keep the bugs off them
by putting a little well-slacked lime
or tobacco dust on the young plants,
and you must be quick for the bugs
may have them ruined before you
know it. Work them well when the
vines are dry, and you will have nice,
big, red-hearted melons for your
family, and few dollars worth to
sell just when you need little money
so bad.
Now, buy you a few bushels of
clay peas while they are cheap, and
have them ready. I will tell you
later how you can make and save
some of the best hay you ever had.
IF you have failed with peavine hay,
it was your fault; I can set you
right.

HARRY FARMERS TALKS.
CXIII.


Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Does it pay to let hogs run in the
woods? Is it not better to have a
small pasture? We heard a farmer
say that he had two sows and pigs.
He shut one up in a small lot and
put the others in the woods. He fed
each one the same amount of feed.
When he commenced fattening them,
the ones which he had kept up were
1913 per cent larger than the 9TH
ers. and the same difference was
found at killing time. 1t is a ques-
ton that we have not fully decided,
but we have come to the conclusion
that it is a losing business to let hogs
run at large unless they have swamps
to run in. Ticks, redbugs and other
insects do a vast amount of damage
to hogs in the summer, especially if
the weather is dry.
Here are some mistakes we have
made that are hard to remedy. We
give them to the public SO that 9TH
erS may not do likewise. It is not
pleasant to tell our mistakes, but
some times it will do more good than
to tell of our successes.
When we began farming we tried
to spread our labor over too much
land, biting off more than we could

see this more plainly.
