ADVERTISING FARM SEEDS.
Those Who Would Sell Seed Wheat,
Oats, Rye, Clover, Etc. Should Adver-
tise in Local and Agricultural Press.

When one picks up an agricultural
paper from the North or West, he
may see farm seeds of all sorts adver-
tised. The farmers are on time. They
have something to sell and believe
in letting purchasers know it. Just
now you may see several varieties OF
wheat and oats offered to the public.
Rye, crimson clover seed, and red
clover seed are freely advertised.
That is a sign of successful farming
and enterprise in disposing of the
surplus. This is the season OF the
year when farmers are looking out
for seed for the fall sowing. 1t is
doubtful whether they will find any
of the above advertised in the papers
of this State or not. Farmers who
have good seed wheat, oats and rye
should advertise the fact, giving the
variety and the price sacked and de-
livered at the nearest railway station.
There will be. a demand for a large
quantity of these two grains this fall.
Those who have more than they can
sell to neighbors should let it be
known.-Cotton Plant.

Dog Days.

\ These are the dog days. The long
heat of the summer is beginning to
feel the approach of cooler weather.
This cooling influence is not enough
to mitigate the discomforts of the
summer but only enough to create
moisture in the atmosphere which
makes things sticky and disagree
agreeable. The most distinct infu-
ence of this muggy dog-day weather
is upon the dogs. 1t in some way
drives them mad. Therefore from
the middle of July ito the middle of
September the mad dog is not I'M
common.
Sirius is the brightest star in the
heavens. It is commonly called the
dog star. The ancients supposed
that this star had something to do
with the muggy atmosphere in the
latter part of the summer. They de-
fined the dog days as being those Gov
cred by a period when the dog star
and the sun rise together. This va
ries in different ATTITUDES and there
fore we have many different dates
for the starting and the ending of
the dog days. On an average it is
from about the 25th of July to the
5th of September.
AS a matter of fact the star has
nothing to do with it. The coinci-
dental rise of the star and the sun
happen to come at the same time as
the sultry days of the late summer,
but this is accidental. Hot air holds
more moisture than cool air. The
long summer brings the air to it's
highest capacity to absorb and hold
moisture in the latter part of July.
Then the approaching fall weather
begins to reduce this capacity of the
air to hold moisture and in the pc
riod in which this influence is felt
the moisture which the air has held
begins to be precipitated. Hence the
hot, wet, sultry, muggy dog days.

these the soil is especially adapted
to tobacco raising, while in the east
other crops car be raised. The pea
nut crop last year brought good
prices in the east, and this will also
cut off the tobacco crop there, as far
mers who last season planted tobacco
will go more largely into peanuts"

Robson County Alliance Meeting.
Progressive Farmer

The July session of the Robson
County Alliance was held with the
Raft Swamp Lodge at Raft Swamp
Academy Thursday, July 2Sths The
meeting had been postponed from
the regular time so that State Lee
turer Gates could be with us.
Although the weather was some
what unfavorable, by II o'clock a
large of people had assem-
bled to hear a public address by Bro.
Gates. For about an hour and a half
he held spell-bound the large audi
ence, whose interest, it seems, steadi-
ly increased until the end of the
speech. His discourse was clear.
forcible and convincing, and we are
confident that it will accomplish
much for the good of the Order in
our county.
When Brother Gates had finished,
it was announced that another feast
awaited us out in the grove. Thith-,
er we repaired and found that the an
nouncement was indeed true. In adj
dition to the elegant dinner pre-
pared by the good ladies of the com
munity, melons, cantaloupes and
fruit we're served in abundance.
After an hours recess the Alliance
met in regular session and was called
to order by our President, Bro. Jno.
E. Carlyle. All the Subs in the coun-
ty we're represented, and the meet
ing was in~terestings encouraging
and harmonious. The officers elected
for the coming year were installed by
Brother Gates.
Bro. Jno. E. Carlyle was elected
delegate to the State Alliance, with
Bro. W. K. Culbreth alternate. The
sale of the Alliance property at Hills
boro was discussed to some extent.
1t seemed TO be the prevailing opin-
ion that it should not be sold. Our
delegate was left free, however, to
vote as he should think best in re-
gard to the matter after hearing it
discussed in the State Alliance.
The Progressive Farmer was not
forgotten. It's merits were discussed
and the brethren were urged the i'm
p~ortance of taking it.
There were only three Sub Ali
ances in the county at the time of
our meeting. But you may rest as.
sured that quite different will be the
situation by the time for our next
meeting. The farmers of Robesor
are beginning to realize their condi.
ton as a class without organization
Brother Gates will remain a short
time in the county visiting differ.
ent sections and speaking in the in.
terest of the Order, and when he
visits a community the organization
OF a Sub is almost sure to be the re
suit.
The next session of the County
Alliance will be held with the Raj
Swamp. Lodge the second Thursda,
IN October unless otherwise ordered

Tobacco Prices Higher Than Last Year.

III 10 lIC Il III cA
O of the tobacco business there.
The Kinston Free Press states that
thirteen cents was the highest price
paid for tobacco at the opening sale
at Kinston. Of the first tobacco
sales at Greenville the Reflector says:
can encouraging feature of the sale
was the good prices that prevailed,
being fully so per cent higher than
at the opening a year ago. Most of
the offerings to-day were first prim-
ings, yet the prices ranged from
three to seventeen cents, which was
very gratifying to the sellers. Smok-
ers or first primings, green or dark.
three or four and one-half cents;
bright and clean smokers, five to nine
cents; bright and clean cutters, ten
to sixteen cents"
The Raleigh News and Observer,
August 9th, says: "The Raleigh to-
bacco market opened yesterday, and
this was done in ssuch good shape Is
to insure a fine season for the Ra-
leigh market. There was sold here
yesterday about 10000 pounds of to-
bacco, this being the primings, the
first quality that reaches the market.
These primings are much superior to
those of last year and this, with the
condition of the market, brings a
higher price. Grades that last year
sold for from two and one-half to
three cents a pound, yesterday sold
at from five to six cents a pound, an
increase of a hundred per cent"
The Wilson Correspondent of the
Raleigh Post, August 4th, said: "The
tobacco market of this, the biggest
market for the yellow leaf in the
State, opened most auspicuously, for
there were many farmers here, some
bringing a part of their labor and
toll, and others to witness the open
ing scene. The prices, ranging from
two to twenty-one cents, were ap-
parently satisfactory to all concern
ed. The acreage in this section of
which Wilson is the market town was
decreased one-half at least, if not
more, but the crops are fine and adj
mirable cures are being made"
Col. John S. Cunningham, of Per-
son, was in Raleigh on Wednesday
attending the Farmers Convention.
Col. Cunningham watches tobacco
conditions, and said to a Raleigh
newspaper reporter: cit is certain
that the crop will be a small one, and
the indications are for a good price.
This may not come at first, though ]
am certain it will come. I feel safe
in advising the tobacco farmers not
to hurry their tobacco on the mar
ket, but to watch it and be guided by
the figures. / expect a fine crop of
tobacco as to quality, though not as
y, to quantity. This shortage in the
crop is caused by two conditions
First, the low price last season, which
dissatisfied the farmers; second, the
high price of cotton last season
which has induced many farmers t.
