kinds. Now as to size: We saw them
from the size of a goose egg to some
that would weigh four pounds. We
could not find out the size most pop
ular.
1t would be well to take care of the
second crop of Irish potatoes, as the
crop is short at the North. We
carefully examined the market of
this crop to see the kind and sizes
mostly sought after. The light skin,
medium size, or those about four
inches long, seem to take the fancy
of most consumers.

Suppose.
Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor OF The Progressive Farmer:
Suppose an intelligent farmer were
in such circumstances that he was
able to subscribe to one newspaper
only,which ought it to be9 (Of course
what I have to say is meant only for
North Carolinians) If the intelligent
farmers will permit me-to answer
that question for them, I would i'm
mediately say, stake The Progressive
Farmer" Now some reasons for my
answer:
First. This paner is better for him
than daily would be, for few farm
ers have time to read a paper every
day.
Second. Because it contains such
a variety of such excellent articles
on the various branches of farm
work, always written by experienced
and capable men who know the truth
of statements made by them, and
whose suggestions are well worthy
of being considered.
Third. Not only is the paper well
supplied with articles on the sub
jects which bear specially upon the
day, but many other subjects are
treated of which interest, or ought
to interest, every man who desires to
be considered as being alive to every
important event which occurs, not
only in his own country, but in all
the countries of the world.
And the editorials are always
strong, terse, and bravely stand for
the right, hurt who it may. In fact,
the whole paper is highly education
al. And the writer thinks that it
would be a good idea for every public
school in the State to have In its
library a weekly copy of The Pro-
gressive Farmer.

Two Undeveloped Resources.

The South is a land of vast anc
varied resources. In her bosom lie
untold treasures and possibilities
What she can and may become nt
pen can describe, no prophet car
forsee.
Some of her capacities are fully
developed. Her capacity for beel
and whiskey consumption needs ne
further development. Neither does
her capacity for gambling in cotto1
and other futures need any further
development. She has also produced
an abundant. crop of second and thirc
rate politicians. These and some
other lines of production are rather
overdone than underdone.
Some other lines, such as railroad
building, factory building and town
and city buildin" are growing per.
haps with sufficient rapidity. They
do not call for special encourage
ment.
But when we come to consider he1
agricultural resources we find q
practically unlimited field for growth
and culture. While much has been
done, much remains still to be done
We desire in this article to call
special attention to two undeveloped
resources in her agriculture.
THE PRODUCTIVE POWER OF ACRE OF
LAND.
Statistics show that in our leading
crops we produce about six bushels
of wheat, ten bushels of corn, and
about one hundred and eighty pounds
of cotton per acre.
Statistics equally reliable show
that we have produced over sixty
bushels of wheat, over one hundred
and twenty-five bushels of corn and
over two thousand pounds of cotton
lint per acre.
As yet no one claims that these
figures represent the highest posi-
bilities of an acre of either of these
Better culture would produce even
a better yield than this.
But as these are about twelve times
the average they should make us
stop and think. Are we producing
only one-tenth of what we ought to
produce on an acre? About one
tenth of what our neighbors have
produced? About one-tenth of what
we can produce?
Can we make as much on one acre
as we are now making on ten? If
we can do it, how can it be done,
and why are we not doing it?
If we can not reach ten times as
much, can we not get somewhere In
hat direction? At least, is it not
worth while to tryG

CAAlA.
v,,tor Of The Progressive Farmer:
Oftentimes we want to turn horses
ond cattle in fields of cowpeas, and
vet We are afraid they will eat enough
IN kill them. We have followed this
plan over twenty years and have yet
to lose our first. Just two hours be-
fore the stock are turned they are
given all the hay, etc., they will eat
Nd clean, and when they reach the
peas there is room for only small
quantity. Let them remain about
two hours. Repeat this the next day,
but do not give so much hay and let
the stock remain one hour longer.
Continue this plan for two days
longer, decreasing the hay and in
creasing the time, and the results
will be satisfactory.
SWEET POTATOES IN THE NORTH
The Northern people are learning
to eat our Southern sweet potatoes,
the kinds which we prize so highly,
such as the nortan yam, vineless,
sugar yamS, etc. Those who have
tried them speak in the highest
terms about the superior qualities
over the yellow Jerseys. We think
it would be best for the Agricultural
Department of the State to pre-
pare circular giving our way of
cooking and making the different
dishes which we enjoy so much. Let
the farmers have them at cost. And
when the farmer is mailing up his
package or barrel, let him place a
lot OF these on top of the potatoes.

lars enclosed in an envelope with a

Washington Gazette Messenger:
After travelling through several coun-
ties in middle North Carolina we are
glad to be able to say that the farm
ers generally are prospering, and
that the business outlook is good.
The cotton crop is not large, but
with present prices the farmers are
very cheerful. Corn and potato
crops, generally speaking, are good,
with an abundant crop of persim-
mons, 1ocusts, grapes and acorns for
swine. We are thankful to say that
there is a plenty for all and some
to spare.

Number A..
But we are not confined to the few
crops mentioned above.
DIVERSITY,

DIVERSITY.
We should try to develop the unde-
veloped productive power of some
of our acres in fruits, vegetables and
forage crops. An acre in cucumbers
often produces five hundred dollars
worth. In strawberries $500 to $4O0,
in onions $500 to 5000, in blackber-
ries, raspberries, dewberries, cher
ries, plums, peaches, pears, cabbage,
lettuce, beans, tomatoes and numer-
Gus other crops, $500 to $500 is not an
unusual yield for an acre.
Why not try to develop some of
your resources in some of these di-
rections?
THE FARMEB.
So far we have spoken of the un-
developed resources of the farm. Be-
fore closing we desire to call atten-
ton to the undeveloped resources of
the farmer.
Many of us are too narrow, we
have not broadened out as we should
have done. We are the creatures of
habit, rather than of thought. Our
labor is of the hand rather than
of the head. We work with our mus
cles, rather than with our brains.
We need to develop ourselves. We
need to give more of our time to
reading and studying about the ma
ture and habits of the plants we try
to grow.
We should familarize ourselves
with the composition of our soils as
to plant food, and the wants and
peeds of planting in the way of plant
food and plant feeding. We need
to understand what is necessary for
the production of a perfect plant and
how to furnish it.
We do not need more brains but
more culture for the brains we have.
We need fully developed farmers,
that we may surround ourselves with
fully developed farms. There is
more in the man than there is in
the land. To very important ex-
tent the man either makes or un-
makes the land.-Southern Cultiva-
tor.
