Putting In Wheat.

Taking it for granted that all farmers, who are
progressing somewhat, will prepare their land
thoroughly for wheat, the next consideration is
the method of sowing it. The drill is the best
machine for putting in wheat and fertilizer at the
same time. For the farmer who sows only three
to eight acres that is expensive. The community
ownership of a drill does not work we'll. The
hiring of one is not always satisfactory. But
if a farmer has land suited to the use of machin-
cry and he sows forty to eighty acres in small
grain, he can afford to buy a drill. Always get
a disc drill, for the hoe drills are not satisfac-
tory, except in land free from weeds and cotton
and corn stalks. The 6-disc drill is better than a
larger one, for it is lighter and more. easily turn
ed in corners around terraces. With it one NAV
put in eighty acres daily. But the small farmer
cannot afford to invest $50 to $75 in a drill to
put in a few acres of wheat. Sowing by hand
and covering with small shovels on a double foot
pillow stock, Or with a cutaway harrow will sec,ra

Last Weeks North Carolina Crop Bulletin.

Cotton continues to do well and is blooming
freely. In the south-central counties, where the
rains have been excessive, there are a number of
complaints of lodged and weedy fields, and of a
too rapid growth; some complaints of lice have
been received from BERTHE County; but elsewhere
the crop is growing satisfactorily, even under the
adverse weather conditions lin the northeastern
counties. Corn has a good healthy color and the
stands are satisfactory it is silking and tasseling,
and is being worked the last time. Threshing
wheat and oats is in full progress in the central
and western districts with satisfactory results in
regard to the yield and quality. The tobacco plant
continues thrifty, although still backward in most
places; topping is general in the western and
central counties, while in the eastern counties
curing has already begun. Watermelons are
ripening, and a number of large shipments have
been made from the eastern and southern coun-
ties; the quality of the melon is variable. The
reports in regard to the fruit prospects are con-
Trajectory. Berries will be plentiful, while apr
pies promise a small crop. The recent halls in the
central counties have damaged considerable fruit;
h the majority of the reports indicate a fair
crop of grapes, peaches and plums. Gardens and
minor crops are generally good.

OVERRIDING the Peach Growing Industry.

Editors Progressive Farmer:
Discouraging reports of the peach crop from
California follow on the heels of the news that
the peach industry is being overdone In Georgia.
A few years ago, the great peach belt was IN
Delaware and Western Maryland. The recurrent
frosts drove the industry farther South, and
Georgia became the centre. A little later, Cali
fornia began to supply peaches, fresh and can
ned, to all the world. 1t is now estimated that
the peach pack in that State will be only half
the normal, while in the South, brown-ro and
indiscriminate spraying have resulted in enormous
losses. The fortunes that have been made in
this fruit in Georgia have led practically the en-
tire population, in certain sections, to set out
peach trees, regardless of the lack of practical
horticultural knowledge. 1t is stated by a
pomologist of the department of Agriculture
that upwards Of 6,OOO,0 900 trees have been planted
in. the last two seasons, and that the business is
in danger of being overdone. He also reports
that hundreds of thousands of trees have been
killed by the use of oil-for the San Jose scale
in unreasonable weather and with pumps that
worked irregularly. 1t is as dangerous, he points
out, to use insecticides without the proper intel
ligence, as it would be to carelessly administer
medicines to a human being.

Editors Progressive Farmer:
The opening of summer round of Farmers In
~stitutes at Pittsboro, Chatham County, on Satur-
day, the 18th instant, was encouraging.
Over a hundred were present at the opening,
and Messrs. Massey, Butler and Williams each
caught the attention of their audience, as evil
denced by the fact that many practical questions
came to them from different parts of the hall.
The lecturers invited these questions and the
farmers were not slow in making them.
Many more would doubtless have been present
but for the fact that there has been considerable
rain in this section and they thought best to kill
hay while the sun was shining.

among the farmers of Chatham. @.

Virginia Farming.
Washington, D. G.

The Commissioner of Agriculture reports to us
that agricultural conditions in Virginia are grad
ually improving. The farmers are getting out
of the one crop system and are rotating their
crops. Much of our soil is thin because of the
one crop system of the past. The farmer has
been taxing the land year after year to it's full
capacity and robbing it of it's vegetable matter.
But he is learning better. More than ever, soil
beans, vetches, clovers and grasses. These crops
supply nitrogen and make humus. Every such
crop makes the land that much more valuable.
The farmers are more and more giving atten-
ton to their live stock. Already the finest varie-
ties of cattle and sheep are annually exported, and
Virginia is destined to be one of the great live
stock States of the country.
The fruit industry is increasing RAPIDLY and
many orchards bring small fortunes in a single
crop, yielding the owner from $500 to 10000.
Virginia grows a great variety of fruits of the
finest quality, and is fortunate in being located
near the great markets of the East.
Virginia is also one of the largest trucking
States IN the Union. One of her counties now
grows nVe per cent of the entire sweet potato
crop of the United States. Our great t]r11ck;no
helds are extending each year further inland and
the industry IS gradually expanding. In short
virginia grows a greater variety of crops than
any other States. Anything except tropical
plants can be produced hree.
Many OF our lands are still selling for less than
tnelr real value, but in all parts of the State
prices are hardening, and in some sections have
materially increased. The trouble is that V;r-
GINA mas done little in the way of ADVERTISING and
outsiders do not understand what ADVANTAGES mo
nave ana what bargains our lands are at present
prices. However, the State has a snlend;d avb;h;t
at st. Louis, and already there are n~racticai ra0
suits OF which we shall speak hereaf+er PHI

T~erracing Land and Alfalfa Growing.

Editors Progressive Farmer:
The article on terracing in your last number is
worth the price of a years subscription. Hon.
Pope Brown, of Georgia, remarked to me that
"The man who invented terracing should have a
bigger. monument than any other Georgian"
The soil that is annually washed away from the
hills of the Carolinas and Georgia would give, if
coined into money, the farmer boys of every one of
these States a f~rst-class agricultural education,
which, when applied back on the farms, would in
ten years be of more value to their States than
all the cotton mills and iron foundries therein.

or even sooner. Top-dress with stable manure

x1.-rhe Best Plan for Clearing New Ground.

OA4s"AAS rs ~
Editors Progressive Farmer:
Mr.. Blake Johnston's article of July 5th is all
true about sprouts not coming out any more when
cut in August. I don't think the moon has any
thing to do with it though. Just cut all sprouts
off in your pastures and other places in August
and all will be well.
This reminds me to say a word about cleaning
land. Many of our farmers do too much work
in cleaning their land.
When you wish to clear a piece of land go into
it and cut everything off, large and small growth.
Leave nothing to be dug UP with the grub hoe.
Haul off the wood and pile the brush. Now let
it alone until the first week in June. At u
o'clock about this time when it is dry and hot,
burn off. You will find afterward that every
thing burned and left the ground clean, trash
and all.
Now mark off the land and plant in corn, cover
ing with the hoe. If well planted, it will not need
to be replanted, but will come up at once and grow
very fast. When six inches or a foot high, go
around the corn once with pillow, then let stand
until you wish to lay by; then pillow out middles.
In August chop down bushes, if any, and you will
be surprised at the fine field of corn you have.
The next year the cleaning up will be very
light to what would have been the first year.
Some of the finest corn I ever made was made on
land treated this way. l have used this plan for
fifteen years, and saved more than half the work
of clearing land. The June burning and August
%chopping do the work.
Crops in this section are the best the county
has ever produced. All those who plowed deep
with two horses are safe against rain or
drought. When you cannot use a two-horse pillow
for any reason, run a coulter or another pillow
with just the point on, after the one-horse pillow.
One of my n~eighbors has followed this plan this
year and it shows a big Inference.
Now is the time to save everything from the
garden and orchard and give to your hogs. If
you have but little give that little and it will
prove to be a big thing in the growth of your
hogs. Don't let anything go to waste, it matters
not how small. 1t will save your buying white
sides next summer to make more seven and eight
cents cotton.
Be sure you save all the hay you can and put
up all the meat you will need for next year.

GRAFTON IN CHAPEL.

Last Monday evening Mr.. Paul Della
van delivered an Grafton In chapel on
Rosseau and the French Revolution
He pointed out the fallaoy Of Rosseau' I
theory that the majority can do nc
wrong, and showed that the very ma
iority which Rosseau helped to create,
disproved his theory. He also showed
Rosseau to be the father of modern So
cialism, and that both made their mis-
take in allowing for no difference IN
temperament and ability. If men were
of equal ability, wealth might be evenly
divided but as conditions are, no distri-
button would long keep property evenly
