Several hours be- fore the time set for the hearing Henry appeared in court where he found Officer Thomas. Henry was evidently under the influence of liquor and followed Thomas out of the court room and started to heap all kinds of abuse and threats on the head of the man who had taken him into GUS today on the night of his escapade in the Orient. Thomas complained to Justice Mcdonald and he ordered that Henry be placed in confinement until he could get sober enough to answer to the first charge agalnst him. that of striking an officer.

RALEIGH, N. c., TUESDAY, MARCH "A, 1908.

Every writer, Including the Editor
of The Progressive Farmer, agrees
that cash buying would be best.
Now many of the readers of The
Progressive Farmer seem to be puz-
zled to know our reason for using a
nom de plume in signing the articles
we write. Well, when we were a boy
it was a great thing in our eyes to
use a Big I when appearing in pub
lie, but later in life our ambition to
show self began to wane, and now
we want to do as much good as we
can without appearing in public at
all. If these Talks can help the
farming interest and cause more of
our young men to do more thinking
and help build up the rundown
farms of the State, we shall be sat
isfed. We are glad that we sprang
this discussion; it has done good, and
while we may not have anything more
to say, we want every one who disa
grees or agrees with us to express his
opinion.
Let us have more of the letters
like that of Mr. Blake Johnson. The
Bible tells us not to hide our lights
but let them shine.

Can Farmers Mix Their Own Fertili-
zers Economically?

Many of the experiment stations
have for several years past been
studying this question in connection
with their work in the official inspec-
ton of fertilizers. The unanimous
conclusion reached by the stations
which have given the closest atten-
ton to the subject is that it is en-
tirely practicable and economical un-
der certain conditions for farmers to
buy the different fertilizing materials
in the crude stock and to mix them
on the farm, and they have made
every effort to encourage and assist
them in the practice.
1t has been clearly shown that when
farmers combine together and pur-
chase their supplies in large quanti-
ties for cash and make their own
mixtures, they secure their fertilizers
at greatly reduced cost. An exam
ination by the New Jersey Station
in 1895 of home mixtures made by
farmers in different parts of the
State, representing in the aggregate
a purchase of over 1000 tons, showed
that these mixtures cost on an aver
age $28.62 per ton, while the fertil-
izing ingredients which they contain
ed, at the station valuations, were
worth $3168. In the average fac
tory-mixed fertilizer the same ingre-
dients would have cost $43.12. cat

mite knowledge of the kinds of plant
food that he purchases. Each ingre-
dent can be examined separately
and its nature and quality deter
mined. ''Leather, shoddy, wool waste,
or other inferior materials can not be
palmed off as readily as when dis
guised by other materials in mixed
goods"
A further advantage is the ability
of the farmer to vary the proportions
Of the different fertilizing ingre-
dents to suit the varying require
ments of soil and crop. It has been
urged in objection to this that the
farmer as a rule does not possess the
information necessary to enable him
to mix his fertilizing ingredients in
the proper proportions to meet most
economically the varying require
ments of his soils and crops.
If the farmer does not know the
requirements of his own soil, who is
to tell him? No two soils have ex-
actly the same needs and no two
crops the same requirements. It is
idle to hope that some Especial" fer
tilizers can be compounded which
will be perfectly adapted to a given
crop on all soils and under all condi-
tions. This is a species of agricul-
tural quackery which fortunately is
rapidly passing away. 1t is becOm-
ing more and more evident every day
that in the use of fertilizers, as in
other agricultural operations, every
farm is an experiment and that every
farmer must be an alert experiment.
er. Each farm has it's problems dis
tinct from those of every other farm,
and they can only be solved by pa
tient study and experiment on the
part of the farmer himself. No out
slider can tell him just what to do
and just what fertilizer to use in
each particular case.
The farmer can no longer afford to
use fertilizers blindly and solely on
InG statement OF some one else. lie
must study the principles underlying
the use Of fertilizers and determine
by experiment the kinds and amounts
best suited to his own peculiar needs.
The experiment stations organized in
every State and Territory have al
ways stood ready to direct and assist
the farmer in this important work,
and in doing this have performed one
of their most useful functions.
- To summarize briefly, it is believed
hat the Investigations of the stations
and the experience Of practical farm
ers show that the main conditions
which must be observed by intelli-
gent and progressive farmers in or
der to make the system of home mix
ing of fertilizers entirely feasible
and thoroughly economical are "(D
that the supplies should be purchased
in considerable quantities, (2) that
hey should be purchased early and
before the beginning of the
ousy season on the farm, and (3) that
contracts should be on a cash basis"

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
We were glad to have Professor
Massey discuss the interest problem,
His plan would be an'improvement
on present conditions, but if all the
farmers in the cotton belt were to
20 into raising beef, would not the
price go down so low that it would
not leave any profit? 1t is true, as
he says. that cattle could be raised at
a small cost if our farmers would
diversity and SOW oats, cow peas and
feed the cattle on the farm, then re-
turn the manure to the land, and thus
cut down the cotton acreage about
one-half but raise just as much cot
ton.
We agree with him about having
something to sell at all seasons of
the year. As we stated once before,
from our own farm there is scarcely
day but that we get dimes, and
some days dollars, for eggs, meat, po-
tatoes, beef, hay, cotton, grapes, mel
ons, colIards, turnips, peanuts, lard,
MolasSes and other things. But every
farmer IS not so situated as we are
10 have market for every thing,
although there are thousands who
could build up a market and thus
nave a steady stream of money com
ing IN all the time, if it is small.
Professor Massey has done a good
work and the farmers of North Car
"IIha and the South owe him a debt

the rate here indicated there was a
saving of $14,50O, certainly good
return for cash payments instead of
credit, for selecting materials high
grade and suited to the needs of the
soil or plant instead of by hit or miss,
and for using the regular labor of the
farm in mixing instead of paying
others who do the work no better"
In 1896 the home mixtures examined
by the station cost on the average
$26.18 per ton, while their average
valuation was $28.34, "indicating a
saving on the part of the consumer
not only of the difference, $2.16, but
also of the additional expenses in
volved which would have been paid
if the average commercial mixture
had been purchased"
AS stated above, however, this saw
ing can only be secured by coopera-
tion on the part of farmers, so that
the fertilizing materials can be pur-
chased in bulk for cash. The market
prices of the fertilizing materials
bought in small quantities are fire.
quently so high as to render home
mixing impracticable. The individ-
ual farmer rarely uses fertilizers in
sufficient quantity to enable him to
secure the advantage of wholesale
quotations on unmixed fertilizing
materials, but farmers clubs,
oranges, etc., may buy the crude
stock in carload lots and thus secure
the full advantage Of reduced price
for purchase in bulk.
It has repeatedly been urged that
it is not practicable for farmers to
mix their own fertilizers, because
mixing can not be satisfactorily done
with the ordinary facilities of the
farm; but reports of large number
of practical and successful farmers
in Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode
Island, and other States have shown
beyond question that fertilizer mix
lures uniform in quality, fine, dry,
and equal in all respects to the best
factory-made fertilizers, can be and
are annually made on the farm with
out the aid of milling machinery.
A tight barn floor, platform scales,
screen, shovel, and hoe are the only
utensils needed. The materials being
weighed, screened, and Jumps pull
verized, the most bulky stock is
spread in an oblong pile from 6
to - inches deep; upon its leveled
top the next material is placed, and
so on until all have been added like
layers on layer cake. Commencing
at one end, the pile is shoveled over,
reaching clear to the bottom every
time. The pile is then leveled up and
the operation repeated three times.
The mixture may then be screened
again if desired.
