long winded resolutions as some
overconfident friends seem to think.
Talk is a good thing in its place,
and it sometimes leads to results,
but talk aIono never did accomplish
anything OF importance. 1t is a
lamentable fact that we are badly
in need of good roads, and it is like
wise q lamentable fact that most
people are content to do the talking
and let the other fellows do the
work and foot the bills. But that
Is a poor way to accomplish any
thing. If the country roads arc III
poor condition the farmer and his
wife and his daughter and his son
and his hired man como to town
simply when they are compelled to.
They often miss a good market
for their products because the
roads are too poor to get to town.
This is lOos to the farmers and
loss to the merchant; it also causes
to a certain extent loss to every
business and professional man in
town. You ask why! The reason
is very simple. What Will prevent
one farmer from marketing his
produce will likewise prevent hun
dreds Of others and the money they
are thus deprived of is kept from
circulation in our midst. Thon
again, if the roads are bad and the
farmer does not feel like wading
through the mud to get to town,
he often uses the mail to send to
the mail order house for what he
wants, while if the roads were good
he would take few hours off and
ride into town for them. Aint
that plain. Well, what's the rem
edy? Here it is: Let every able-
bodied man IN tho county take
day off each month and spend it
~, tho rooaa ,,1on :,
structors if necessary; let every
man close up his business for that
day, take his hoe, axe, spade, or

All of us are learning of the great value of
the cowpea for the waste places, the worn-out
fields, and the crops rotations. Now let us carry
this idea a little further and call to our aid the
crimson plant for winter work.
Corn and cowpeas will soon be harvested, so
follow them with crimson clover. No blowing is
needed. Simply harrow the land so as to break
the crust and lightly cover the seed. Ten pounds
of seed per acre are sufficient. The same can be
done with the cotton fields.
Suppose you get but half a stand; suppose the
growth is small next spring. Just pillow it under.
Humus and plant food will be turned in the soil;
and we need them both. It won't take long
through a practice like this to redeem the old
lands and to make them productive again. Then
next spring pillow a little deeper than you have
ever done before, and ask the soil to help carry
on the work of growing crops. They will do so,
and a crop of crimson clover plowed under will
put them in the humor to help you out.

THE SITUATION I'm THE FAR EAST.

There were no important developments in the
Russo-Japanese War last week. The following
summary by the Associated Press gives a fair
idea of the present situation:
There is still a lack of specific information re-
garding the exact situation in Manchuria. The
Russian general staff, lacking details, is unable
to speak authoritatively, and advices from Japan
csc sources are significantly lacking. 1t is said
that the Russian army is safe at Mukden and that
the retreat was accomplished in good order, in
spite of the harrassing japanese, sodden roads
and the fact that Kuropatkin was hampered by
about 10000 wounded. There is nothing yet to
indicate the exact positions of the three japanese
columns.
When last heard from Kuroki's forces were on
the Russian left flank and steadily pushing for
ward, but Viceroy Alexief reports that railway
and telegraph communication between Mukden
and Hardin is uninterrupted.
General Sakharof reports that there was no
fighting during Thursday, and while the reports
say the outposts> are still in contact, they are
not exchanging shots. Oyama's troops practically
abandoned on Wednesday the attempt to head off
Kuropatkin and the last determined effort to cap
ture the Russian commander was made Tuesday.
It is also said that Russian losses will approx
mate 10000 against 10000 of the Japanese. It is
officially reported that Kuropatkin has not been
wounded.

Carolina paper since Prof. RI. j. Stockard's "Noc-
turne" was given to the public.
We are especially proud of our Home Circle
sketch, "When the Circus Came to Town" 1t is
an excellent piece of work, and it is all the more
appreciated because we are trying just now to
induce our readers to furnish more sketches,
stories, and miscellaneous articles for this depart
ment of our paper-such articles as Hight @.
Moore's, "The Old Poplar;" Arachers Recipes"
w. Ell. CaldweITs story, "The Iniquity of the
Father" Mr.. McNeilPs Swimming" and Mr..
Miler's own delightful article this week.
In this connection, too, a word as to the rapidly
extending circulation and influence of The Pro
gressive Farmer seems to be appropriate. Our
leading article on page 1 is furnished by a
Georgia farmer; our letter on potato growing was
written by a Virginian; while Mr.. Miller, as will
be seen, halls from Tennessee. We also have
regular contributors from Kentucky and Florida,
and our circulation is growing in all these
States.

SOME FEATURES OF THIS NUMBER.

Our agricultural pages contain a number of un-
usually practical articles this week. Mr.. Mer-
RAMS paper on "Wheat Growing for the One
Horse Farmer" is good, and in this connection
DIR. Burketts remarks on the seed bed for wheat
should also be considered. Our Norfolk cor
respondent makes some valuable suggestions to
potato growers. The second part of Prof. Ken
dalPs "Hints on Butter Making" should be read
by every farmer who keeps cows-and by every
farmers wife who has to do the churning. We
ask especial attention to the new series of. ar
ticles, "Fungicides and Spraying" contributed by
DR.. F. L. Stevens. These papers will be well
worth filing away.
