THE QUALITY OF TOURISTS.

1t is certainly a mistake to think
with some of those who are talking up
stiff steamship rates as a means of en-
couraging rich tourists and discourage
ing an undesirable cheap class, that
rich men do not care what it costs to
travel. Save for the plungers, who are
comparatively few, the man or mil
lions is the most sensitive about ex-
penses. He is especially so about over
charges, feeling as he does that MS
wealth makes him the special prey OF
those who have something to work off.
AS to his eye to the sixpence, note the
enthusiasm with which a millionaire
will take pass for a street car. There
is no disdain of the small profit. The
rich man is mighty glad to save his
nickel, realizing as few others do upon
how large a sum it represents days
interest Several years ago the big
financial houses of New York found it
hard tp get quorum at the meetings
of their boards of directors, so they
made it a rule to pay IS to each man

houses after that, as well as demand {
for more frequent meetings. For IS !
the "bloated bondholder" freely gave t

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The Club held its last meeting
Wednesday night, March 18th. Three
new members joined the Club, in
creasing its membership to ffty-six.
This being the first meeting of the
spring term, new officers were elect
ed. Mr.. J. @. Temple, of the junior
class, was chosen president, Mr.. I. T.
Bailey, of the sophomore class, vice
president, and Mr.. A. L. Paschall, of
the freshman class, recording secre-
tary. The corresponding secretary
was reelected.
After the election Of officers, Mr..
Kerr, of the junior class read an in
structive paper on "Plant Food in
the Soil" He named the essential
elements of plant food Eound in the
soil; and pointed out the ones usual
ly deficient. He also discussed the
methods by which plant food in the
soil can be made available, and the
best and cheapest ways of adding
plant food to the soil.
The query for debate was:
Resolved, That the use of CONNER
cial fertilizers should be abandoned
in growing staple crops.
The debaters on the affirmative
we're, Messrs. Lych and Warren; on
the negative, Messrs. Smith and
Wharton. The decision of the judges
was two to one in favor of the af-
frmative.

The Fertilizer Tonnage Tax and Some
Other Matters.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Allow me to thank you for the bold
stand that you have taken in the in
terest of the farmers in regard to the
expenditure of the fertilizer tax by
the recent Legislature. [ think that
you are entirely correct in all that
you have written about the matter,
and it is my decided opinion that the
tax should be reduced to 10 cents rcr
ton. I trust that the subject will be
discussed and properly adjusted by
the next Legislature.
Surely Harry Farmer doesn't cx-
pect his brother farmers to take SC
riously his remarks about raising the
rate of interest, for any man that
can give bankable paper can get
money as readily at SIX per cent as
at eight.

Cowpeas Immune to Wilt.
West Raleigh, n. G.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
In some sections of the State the
COW pea has become subject to a fun
gous disease causing the plant to
wilt. This trouble is known as "cow
pea wilt" and is similar to the wilt of
cotton, tomatoes, and melons. A
strain of the Iron COW pea has been
developed which resists the attack of
the wilt fungus and the Department
of Agriculture is in position to sup
ply small quantities of this variety
for experimental test to such farm
ers in the State as are troubled with
the wilt of the COW pea. The Iron
COW pea also withstands we'll nema-
todes and root knot.

very mild spring. Large shipments
of lettuce are now being made and al
so some asparagus and other vege-
tables are going forward. The first
solid express train of the season went

prospect is said to be very encourag-
ing and some ripening is in progress
in favored spots. A number Of

their spring terms this and next week

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Wilmington Messenger says:
Seattle fattening on a large scale
has been begun in Hyde County. Mr..
James Sprunt, of Wilmington, owns
some $4,000 acres of land there, and
IS going to wire fence this, dividing
il into five sections, each of 10000
acres. Around one of these the fence
has been put up, and 900 head of high
grade Shorthorn cattle from Iowa
and Illinois have been placed. Mr..

Mr.. Sprunt in this business of rails

CATTLE RAISING IN THE EAST
Hyde County is not the only cOun-
ty in the eastern part of the State
that has land that can be utilized
for this purpose. We advocated this
industry in these columns last year,

are thousands of acres of land that

Roanoke-Chowan Times: We have
interviewed number of our. best
farmers recently and almost without
exception we find they are making
preparations to produce more to the
acre this year than ever before. They
say it does not cost as much in labor
to make a crop on good land, and as
labor is scarce and high they will use
more fertilizer and plant less acres
than heretofore.

mon red clover. AS you are in the
eastern part of the State, we doubt
the advisability of sowing clover un-
less it be crimson clover. The drouth
in the spring here will kill clover un-
less it is sown in the fall. We infer
from your letter that you want to
have feed for dairy COWS. Unless you
have seen others have clover in your
neighbOrhood, we would advise you
to try red clover on a small scale, but
SOW in the fall on well-prepared land
at the rate of u or Is pounds per
acre with about three pecks of turf
oats. Cut oats after they get about
two feet high, with a moving ma
chine and leave them on the land as
a mulch for the clover. By this plan
you may be able to get a good stand.
The yield of cotton shows your land
to be in a high state of fertility, but
if you want to manure the land
spread the manure on the surface af-
ter the clover gets to growing in the
spring. Of course, the manure will
have to be fine and spread thinly.
Rye can be sown in September if
the land has plenty of moisture in
it; if it is dry, SOW later. Turf oats
could be sown among the pea vines
and will give early fall pasturage. We
would SOW two pecks of rye and four
pecks of turf oats among the pea
vines and pasture the COWS on the
peas or leave the pea vines on the
land and gather the ripe pods; by this
plan you can have a nice winter pas
ture. To SOW oats in June when
wheat is harvested, they would head
in the fall and the rye would not
grow unless the season was very
moist. We have a white clover that
grows in the fall and winter and
dies down about the first of June
that makes very good pasture, but
crimson clover is better.
We are glad that you are trying to
improve on the old way of managing
cattle in the eastern part of the
State. If you have some light warm
soil plant some early COW peas about
the Goth of April to furnish feed the
last of June, and all the month of
July. Some of the early sugar canes
make nice COW feed for about the
same time as the peas just mentioned.
Our experience with cattle feeding
is that the COWS will not eat one
thing long at a time, and to get the
best results, it is necessary to have
a variety.
