Crops and Crop Raisers.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

Just a few davs since we had the
privilege of passing through the best
farming section of Craven County,
and went slow enough to look at the
crops and talk occasionally with a
farmer. With the exception of the
tobacco burdened farmer, we find
most others resting comparatively
and generally rejoicing with good
crops.
There are very few exceptions in
most of Craven. Good corn, cotton
and sweet potatoes.
The showers are getting rather
frequent and heavy in the middle
section of our county, and I met
some farmers yesterday that we're
getting rather anxious about the

ever, proved that the interest devel-
oped in both teacher and pupil in
some study of elementary agriculture
is so great that instead of being an
increase in labor the enthusiasm of
the subject renders the teaching
easier.
The State Legislature has passed
an act placing the teaching of agri-
culture in the country schools on the
same footing with other subjects
taught in North Carolina. The State
Superintendent and State officials
are , in favor of this instruction.
Many county superintendent are do
ing all they can to promote it. The
result is that last year many schools
in the State began the study of ag-
riculture, and the reports and COM
ments of teachers, pupils and parents
are unanimous in favor of agri-
culture in the common schools.
A new school year is now approach
ing. If agriculture is not taught in
your school you should see the com
mitteemen or the school teacher and
call their attention to the provision
of the State law, requiring it, and
see hal the subject is properly intro
duced next year, The State Superin-
tendent and State officials have done
all they can do to promote this sub
ject, which is distinctly for the bene-
fit of the farming community. If
any teachers are failing to live up to
the requirements, attention should be
to the fact, and agriculture
properly and thoroughly introduced
into the school district.
AS the teacher is not yet thorough
y familiar with agriculture as a sub
ject, one of the most favorite ways is
to use the textbook as a supplement-
ing reader. Let the class read from

which will be aroused at home will

Many fundamental and
things concerning the
modern methods of farming will be
earned; methods which are employ
ed now by a few of the most pro-
gressive farmers in our State and
in other States. If North Carolina
is to compete with other States in
the making of produce, she must give
her children all those advantages
which children in other States are
enjoying.
A PROGRESSIVE CONSERVA-
TIVE /
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-08-23
, ditors Progressive Farmer:

read, write, spell, and do simple prob
lens in arithmetic. Every one of the
readers of this article will agree
that these four elements of education
are of the greatest Importance. Up
on the ability to read and write we
base the statistics of literacy and IL
literacy of each State, thus admitting
that reading and writing are of the
first and prime Importance.
Ability to do problems in mathe-
mates is necessary for self-protec-
ton and enlightenment; ability to
spell correctly, while not an absolute
essential, is certainly extremely de-
sirable. Any friend of any form of
education will not deny the import
ance of these four branches. | be-
lieve also that no one denies that
these four should occupy the first
and most important place in the
consideration and development of
education. Nothing should lead tt
their neglect or in any way serve to
detract from the effort to stimulate
study and ability in these essentials.
In the pioneer days of our country,
the youth was fortunate who had an
opportunity to master these four es-
sentials. The world, however, is
progressing. The luxuries of earlier
days become necessities of to-day.
The city schools and many of the
country schools have added to the
four essentials other subjects of in
struction. Occasionally some of the
more conservative residents may
speak of such additions as having
no part in the common school educa-
ton. The feeling may be entertain
ed that the addition of new SUBJECTS
imply, in some degree, the putting
aside of the old subjects. The fear
seems to exist that spelling or arith-
metic may suffer by the addition of
geography or history or grammar.
Experience in both city and coun-
CJA SS4OOIS ShOWS ILLS 1cdT W D0 uu-
grounded. To be sure there may be
poor mathmeticians, as indeed there
were years ago, but the introduction
of new subjects to the school course
is not the cause of this condition.
The new subjects to the contrary
add to the interest and diversity of
school ife, and thereby strengthen
the energies devoted to other
branches.
Let us look each new subject
squarely in the face to find it's in
trinsic worth, and if it measures up1
to our ideals and can be introduced
into the school without danger to the
essential studies in the schools, let us
cooperate with the teachers in carry
ing it into effect.
Next to the subject of reading
writing, spelling and arithmetic in

eral times in the day, but we have
had thus far very few morning rains
and these the cotton farmer breads
most.
Just a few weeks now will decide
the yield of cotton to a great ex-
tent. Some early cotton has a fair
crop of nearly grown bolls, other
late fields are just in good bloom.
Of course these latter fields are in a
very uncertain condition just now.
Fodder pulling has begun with a
few farmers. This old fashioned
way of saving long forage is rapidly
going out of use. Some shred the
corn; some shock all and then shuck
out the corn; some let all dry upon
the land, and use peavine hay for
long forage-this is better than
stripping fodder" The late crop
of Irish potatoes is being planted
now, and there are various plans for
this work. Some cut and bed to
sprout the potatoes; some plant
without sprouting. I like the plan
of starting the eyes by putting the
potatoes uncut four or five inches
thick on a floor and keep wet sacks
on them a few days. This starts the
eyes very nicely, and if treated this
way we can plant here the last week
in August and get a good crop.
We have prepared a small plat to-
day to be planted in potatoes next
week.
We took a fair crop of canta-
loupes, a medium crop of hay, part
peavines, and now we are expecting
a good fall crop of potatoes. We
can generally do this after a cabbage
patch, but have not tried it after
cantaloupes before, so this is an ex-
pertinent. However, our little farm
is an experiment station on a small
scale, and the knowledge we get by
experiments is a large part of our
stock of investment.
When I began farming about ff-
ty years ago, / thought I could learn
all about it in a few years, but I'm
learning faster now than ever, and
the best part of it is, I am finding
that cit is better further on"
The greatest pleasure a farmer
can find, next to building a real
home on and by his farm, is to find
new sources of knowledge, exploding
some old theories, and thus 'sreap
truths from fields of fiction and
grow wiser from conviction"
[ notice in some sections of our
State, the peach crop is reported
and the apple crop poor and
falling off. Quite the reverse is the
case in most of our county. Apple
trees are generally full, and largely
of fair quality, while we have not

Henderson County Rural Carriers

Editors Progressive Farmer:

The r. f. D.. carriers of Hender-
son County met at Hendersonville
August 6, 1904, and organized an As
ISOLATION known as the r. L. @. As
ISOLATION of Henderson County. At
this meeting six carriers were pres
ent. Henderson County only has
eleven carriers in all.
A constitution was adopted, Off
GERS elected, and after the transact
ing of business an agreement was
made to hold the next meeting at

November oath. On this day the car
riers are to have a picnic known as
the r.. F. d. Boys Picnic of Hen
derson County. The annual dues
have been fixed at $3.50, payable an
nually. Every carrier of the county
who is not yet a member of this As
ISOLATION, should qualify at once.
We need your moral and financial
support, and we all need your advice
for the betterment of the service that
will come with our mutual inter
course.
The rural carriers are awakening
all over the United States to the call
of union. Omitted we stand, divided
we fall" should be our cry. The
carriers should be so united that
when our next Congress meets we
could come as one man, pleading for
better pay. Those that stand off and
look on say that the R.. F. d. car
riers are getting good salaries. They
never once think what are
attached to the work. They look at
the big $50 before it is subdivided IN
to a hundred little amounts to pay
debts accumulated while striving to
give yourself wholly to the service
of Uncle Sam.
The officers of our Association are
as follows: Hugh F. johnson, Pres
ident; j. F. Stepp, Vice-President:
W. Albert Williams, Secretary and
Treasurer.
We hope all the carriers will come
in at once and take an active part
in this good work and be a factor in
the great body of carriers that meet
at Asheville, N. O., July 4, 1905.
We wish further to state that at
our organization we had with us
