THE coLoRED MAN IN THF
 SOUTH.

The editor of the Rams Horn has just returned from Alabama and is bound to record many pleasant obser- vations which relates to this subject. He found, for instance, that there were approximately 5000 colored men regis tered and accepted as voters in the State of Alabama, though the new law, which was supposed to practically pro- hibit them from voting. has been in ef- feet but comparatively short time. This shows that there is no inherent objection on the part of the people of that State to the negro voting when ever he has qualified himself for that sacred privilege. On going north through Montgomery a local paper published in that city was bought on the train and three items of news ar rested attention. In the first place. in a column giving account of bankruptcy proceedings, 1t was told of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy being filed by Preston Henry, a Montgomery negro. One might think this was not a hope ful item of news, for Henry. but it in dicated this fact, that there was at least one colored man in business in Montgomery, and he probably was in something more pretentious than the chicken business, or he would not think it worth while to go through bank ruptcy. In point of fact there are every where in the South hundreds of color ed people who are conducting business and receiving the patronage of white customers. Another item of news in this same paper of this same date was the hanging of Jeff Allen, black man condemned for murder, but not until after he had been given repeated op- portunity to prove his innocence and not until 50 prominent white men of Marion had petitioned the Governor to spare his life. This would indicate that not every negro accused of crime is given short shrift for his life without i fair trial. From the Rams Horn.

before they could at all raise them there In the
spring. Several farmers, by clubbing together,
could load one, two or three cars of we'll Grated,
nice, large potatoes and "fast freight" them to
any large Northern city. They are not, when
handled rightly, very perishable, and they could
sell at SO Is cents a bushel net, f. o. b., and
make good money at it, and we hope the time
is not far distant when they will do it. Such a
club could afford to buy a sub-soil pillow and a
small or large potato digger and thus decrease
the cost of raising potatoes.

ROTATING TOBACCO.
Should Land be Planted to the Crop Two or More
Years In Succession?

Messrs. Editors In reply to the question of
your South Carolina CORRESPONDENT in regard to
raising tobacco more than one year successive
ly, on the same piece of ground, [ will answer
in a general way, giving the experience and Gus
tom as is followed in this section. The secret
of raising yellow tobacco used to be considered
fresh lands, either new ground, or old field pine
grown up after the land had been turned out for
a number of years. And the invariable cutsom
is to cultivate these lands in tobacco at least
two years in succession, and frequently oftener.
Now, since most of these lands have been cleared,
the next best lands are considered to be rested
land, such as have not been cultivated for several
years. | have known of land said to have been
cultivated successfully for twenty years and
would bring as good tobacco as at first; but such
land was MANFRED heavily every year with stable
manure. Certainly this practice would not do
where commercial fertilizers alone are used.
[ believe that any suitable tobacco land would
bring good tobacco for several years if there were
a liberal supply of stable manure applied to the
same with a reasonable quantity of commercial
fertilizer. However, the raising of yellow tobacco
is an uncertain quantity" even by the most ex-
perienced farmers, and he who engages in it will
have to take the risk both as to production and
prices.
L heard one farmer Ga man who had as much
experience as any one I ever knew say that if
you ever got a good crop off of a piece of land
one year, to be sure not to put it in tobacco
the next year as it would certainly fail to bring
it again.

Messrs. Editors During the last few years
L have made it my business to associate with
as many Agricultural College Winter Course men
as possible. [ think I understand fairly what thew
expect to find, how they obtain results beyond
their expectations In many cases, how they are
disappointed in others, to see, however, in later
years that those things which appeared unneces-
sary to them, were really the essentials. Having
gone through the same process myself, coming
fresh from the farm, looking at things from q
practical point of view, I want to saw tb;s.

TALKS ON INSECT PESTS.
Against Peach Borer-Spraying-San
lose Scale.

Jose Scale.
Messrs. Editors :-At this season some good
work may be done against the peach borer by re-
moving the earth at the base of the trees until
they are exposed for two or three inches below
the normal surface of the ground. They should
be left in this condition until February or March,
when they are to be carefully wormed to kill all
the borers. By thus exposing the burrows and the
borers, many will perish from cold or be killed
by birds or other enemies and we may as we'll
profit all we can by their help.
Perhaps some one knows that his trees will
not stand the exposure here suggested; that the
freezing and thawing of the winter will lift them
out of the ground. If that has proved SO in your
actual experience, then do not do as here sug-
gested, but in most parts of North and South
Carolina such injury will not result.
If you intend to spray next spring it is now
time to be buying your pump and getting it in
order. Last year more spraying was done in this
State than ever before and all reports have shown
favorable results. There are two circulars which
have been issued from this Office that you should
have, if you are not already experienced in
spraying work-they are: chronological Cir
cular No. 4 on "Spraying Apparatus" and En-
tomological Circular No. 6 on "Spraying Apples
ONN A~S wa OOOA 1880 AO0No~
late last winter, but the editions were soon ex-
hausted and we have now issued another edition
of each which are for free distribution to any
who may apply. They give descriptions of the
different types of spraying apparatus, lists of
dealers in such apparatus, and full directions for
preparing and applying the bordeaux mixture
and Paris green, which is the insecticide and
f~ungicide of widest range of usefulness. Send
for both of these circulars.
The San Jose scale is known to be in orchards
IN forty-seven counties in North Carolina. It may
be in many other places of which we have not
heard. At this season you should prepare to
make your winter fight against it. Cut out any
trees that are already in dying condition and
prune out any especially badly infested branches.
Later IN the winter they should be sprayed with
the l1me-sulrhur wash. Any person in North
Carolina who suspects that his trees are infested
with the San Jose scale should send twigs showing
the 1nfestation to the writer's, unless you have
already communicated with him on the subject.
1t you would like to keep in full touch with
the work with insect pests in this State. write
to me for an application blank for entomologi-
cal circulars" and after you return it to this of
hce, properly filed out, your name will be placed
on our regular mailing list, after which you will
receive the various circulars as they are issued.

among the steamboat employees and Il
squad of men went to attack the
flames. Soon those on board learned
what was wrong and there was a great
rushing TO and fro. Officials of the

ers to prevent Il rush for the gang
plank, saying it was Il false alarm and
there was no danger.
a good many passengers, however,
went ashore and stood on the pier
watching the Well drilled crew at work
ON the Spears upper deck. The fire
WAS out in five minutes.
Two detectives from the Fulton street
