a poor testimony to the political imagi-

Of the Soil.

The Southern CultivatOr. a seml-month-
ly agricultural periodical published III At
lanta, seems to have devoted It's last issue
especially to deep blowing, which, by the
way, is not a bad principle to follow III
regard to anything, /. e., to get the bot
tom Of it, or az far as we can 20.
However that may be, the Cultlvator of
May Is, utilizes considerable space III en-
deaVoring to impress upon Southern farm
ers how they may rejuvenate their worn
out lands by~this simple eXpedlent, CON
| joined with alternating crops IN which
leguminous groWths are included.
When the land was young, slave labor
cheap and cotton moderately high, 1t paid
to plant that staple exclusively for a few
! seasons and then "clean up new grounds"
But now when none Of the three condl-
lions mentioned confronts us. it behOoves
us to do something intelligently with the
worn out plantations OF our fathers, rather
than struggle along land poor" and slow
~ starve as an adjunct OF the devltahzer
soil.
That something of the kind can be ac-
complished requires but a moments re
Election to realize.
Take for example acres of Great Britain,
that have supported their c~oming-and go
ing millions through the long centuries,
and yet today are capable OF producing ten,
twenty or ~thirty-fold as much as our com
paratively virgin fields.
The question only needs to be approach
ed IN a rational and intelligent manner.
II one proposes to study mathematics or
medicine, he turns to the latest books on
the subject or goes to the nearest pro
lessor OF the science. In regard to agri-
culture the, Counterpart of the books re
terred to is presented by the periodic
bulletins issued by the Experiment Sta
tlOns and the articles in the agricultural
publications, while if object lessons are
wanted they are to be found III the State
Stations.
But 1t Is just there that the staff OF
these institutions encounter their greatest
difficulty, namely, IN convincing the aver.
age farmer Of the efficacy of their methods
The latter will listen, with a smile Of
good-natured incredulty, as details are
entered into. Will laughingly dubb the
station a Pea Farm and when shown

hill side, gall" will simply shrug his
shoulders.
And yet think OF two bales to the acre
cat no greater Xpens han the annua
outlay IN tertIllzer) of ten or eleyen-cent
c~otton-provlded that price should con
tlnue to PREVAIL.
Llk many other things, it is simply ;
campalgn OF education, a crusade again

fruits OF victory are so great to such
large Class IN the South, that the agri
cultural Journals and the Experiment Sta
ton workers are alike to be ong,atuhta o,
upon and encouraged in their warfare fo
the salvation of the soil.

TWELVE CENT COTTON.

Cotton sold on the Raleigh market at
twelve cents a pound yesterday-the first
time for many years. Mr.. Howell Scar
borough, who lives near Rolesville,
brought four bales to market for which
he received $245. He was naturally de-
lighted, regretting only that he didn't
have more bales to sell at that good
figure. If cotton had only brought twelve
cents in November and December. what a
blessing it would have been to Eastern
and Southern North Carolina.
Everybody is interested in cotton sta
tistics and cotton figures. Through the
courtesy of Barbee & Co, we print on
today's financial page an interesting and
valuable editorial on the cotton outlook
and conditions from today's Financial
Chronicle.
