Farm Notes from Chatham County.

Messrs. Editors:- AS it's raining, I will write
a few notes to the best farm weekly in the South.
Farmers are busy shucking corn and sowing
wheat. Nearly all farmers will SOW some wheat
this time.
Myself and some few others cut our corn to
shred. Almots all who tried it say they will
never pull any more fodder. I have been cutting
for four years and like it very much.
Pea-vines did well this year. fine lot of pea
vine hay has been cured. I hauled thirteen two
horse loads of well cured hay off of one acre.
This was fertilized with two hundred pounds of
16 per cent acid. I find this pays well. There
will be sowed next year for moving purposes
than ever before.
A good many sowed ratch of crimson clover
this year. [ afraid the dry weather will dis
courage some of the weakened farmers and
they will give it up. eff at first you don't sue

III. Willamss farm at Chapel Hill last spring

stand. He said it the poorest land he had
in cultivation. By the way, he has fine
English Berkshire pigs grow in the State for

and it is pleasure to see those big Berkshires

fall and expect to some next spring.

inches apart and protected in cold weather. Fine
heads may be expected in December and January.
Spinach is very hardy. Plant in and
protect with light, loose scrapings from the lot
1t will come in ready for the table very early in
the spring. Lettuce will live in the open garden
during the winter and will be large enough to
transplant in February. Sow cabbage seed now
in the open ground and protect with brush; or
better SOW in a cold frame and harden them by
degrees. Some gardeners have success when they
plant Irish potatoes in December if they have
friabe soil that will not bake after heavy rains.
They cover six or seven inches deep and knock
off part of the dirt just before they come up.

THOUGHTS FOR FARMERS.
Sign No Papers.

Just now when there is much money in the
hands of farmers adroit agents will be the
road. They will have the best and only clocks,
sewing machines steel ranges, improved churns
and other useful articles, all of which be
bought at home. The writer two negroes
few days ago who had just finished the last in
stallment $50 sewing machines which could
have been bought for $40 or less These agents
make an ignorant feel that the last chance
has come to secure the article they have for sale
and then by giving two or three years time they
deceive the purchaser completely. They have
chattel mortgages which are iron-clad and once
signed there is way of evading payment Those
agents generally demand the cost of the article
the first payment. Never sign any paners of that
sort. The prices asked by these agents is gen
orally three times much your local dealer
will ask. Those mortgages printed in such small
type that the ordinary farmer cannot read them.
are dangerous and deceptive.
Wheat Sowing.
Nearly every day some farmer comes to the
writer for information about sowing wheat. Yes
terday one said: "I wish to SOW lot in wheat.
Will it do to cover it with a cutaway harrow!
Is that as good plan putting in with
drill!" Although The Progressive Farmer has
given this information time and again, it has to
be repeated every year. We said to him that
thorough preparation the main thing. If
his land was well pulverized and the hard pan
broken, it made no difference how it was put In,
SO the seed were not left on top of the ground
or buried three to six inches deep. The man
who sowed only few acres could not afford TO
buy a drill. 1t was often difficult to hire one.
It takes little more time to scatter fertilizer
by hand SOW the seed by hand and cover with
a harrow Some of the seed will be wasted that
way, but enough will generally come up. When
the drill is used the fertilizer is under the wheat
That is no special advantage The grains are
covered to a uniform depth. That is advan-
tage But the hand-sowed wheat will yield as
much as that covered with drill.
Fall Gardening.
In all this Piedmont region of the Carohnas,
the garden should receive special attention before
winter sets in. Onion sets, spinach and lettuce
should be planted. If one has lettuce plants they
might be set out in cold frame about eight

ROW IN WAR DEPARTMENT
OVER MEDALS OF HONOR.

Wyatt Building. 18th and + Streets
Washington, Dec. ia merry row is on
In the War Department which concerns
several Generals at the head of important
bureaus and some $50 holders of medals
of honor
Just as the department was about to is
sue new medals of honor this week it was
discovered that the design had been pat
ented and turned over to the Medal of
Honor Legion. There is severe criticism
about this. and also because of the fact
that the medal is of cheap brass coated
over with gold.
The distribution of the medals has been
heId up pending peaceful adjustment.
TWO years ago General G L. Gillespie
of the Engineer Corps started a move
ment TO authorize the adoption OF a new
design for the mccall of honor to replace
all those that had been issued by the Gov
ernment.
The explanation given was that so many
military and social organizations had cop
led the medal of honor badge that it had
lost all its significance to the general pub
lie. 1t was particularly complained Of that
the Grand Army of the Republic had ap-
propriateo the pattern. Congress passed
bill authorizing the change and appro-
priated money for the manufacture OF
new medals.
General Gillespie when asked about the
matter, said that he had assigned the nat
ent to the Medal of Honor Legion so as
1t is stated authoritatively that pro-
test against the issuing of the medals will
be mace, and Secretary Taft is eSnected
to direct an inquiry.
