GET YOUR TENANTS TO READ THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER.

A few weeks ago one of South Cardinals Su-
preme Court judges sent us seven trial subscrip-
tions, saying: 81 am much pleased with The
names are of managers and tenants on my farms,
whom / should like to encourage to take your
paper on my account as well as their own"
Last week one of North Cardinals best known
judges sent us a check for 81 with this note: "1
enclose subscriptions to your paper for four of
my tenants-al colored men. I have been send
ing them occasional numbers of my copy of The
Farmer. They have improved their farming by
it and voluntarily asked to subscribe and paid me
the money for it. 1t is a good sign when colored
men show this spirit"
We quote from these two letters simply to re-
mind our readers who have a tenant or a farm
manager that they cannot do a better thing than
to get him to reading a good farm paper, with
its innumerable suggestions of improved farming
methods. Some one article may bring about a
forward step that will be worth several times the
cost of a years subscription-to you as well as to
him.
Resolve now therefore to have The Progressive
Farmer and Cotton Plant in each tenant or man
ayers home next year. Either have him sub
scribe himself or give him a years subscription
as a Christmas present. Of course, selfshness
should have no place in holiday giving; but it will
not hurt you to remember that in such a gift as
we here suggest the giver would be blessed no
less surely than the recipient.

IMPORTANT NEW TEST FARMS.

At the meeting of the North Carolina Board of
Agriculture in Raleigh last week important ac-
ton was taken in regard to the establishment of
two new test farms. At the suggestion of the
East Carolina Fruit and Truck Growers Assoc
citation, one farm for experiments with berry and
truck crops is to be operated in one of the east
ern counties, while in Transatlantic County a
test farm for mountain fruits and vegetables has
just been purchased. As soon as arrangements
can be made, experiments in breeding improved
cattle will be begun in Wake.
This is a long step forward. For a long time
our Department of Agriculture did not properly

recognize our vast trucking interests IN the east,
but with the efficient services of Professor Hume
and the establishment of the trucking test farm,
this can no longer be said. The experiments In
the culture of apples, peaches, pears, plums and
cherries, and such vegetables as cabbage, celery
and potatoes, will certainly be of value to our
mountain farmers. No less fruitful of results
will be the contemplated tests In breeding cattle.
We can never develop a profitable agriculture In
the South until we grow more live stock.
We congratulate the Board of Agriculture upon
this evidence of its progressive spirit.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

All successful men have agreed In one thing
they were "eausationists." They believed that
things went not by luck, but by law; that there
was not a weak or a cracked link in the chain
that joins the first and last of things. A belief
in causality, or strict connection between every
trife and the principle of being, and, in conse-
quence, belief in compensation, or, that nothing
is got for nothing-characterizes all valuable
minds.-From Emerson's Essay on Power"

READING.

There Is no form of entertainment and instruc-
ton that is more valuable in the home than that
which comes from reading aloud from some good
book, magazine, or newspaper in which all of the
family join. 1t seems to me SO practicable and
adds so much to the home-life In winter to set
apart an hour or so in the evening after all the
work is done to reading and chatting about what
has been read. 1t may be a funny story, a good
sermon, or some interesting romance; In fact,
anything that helps edify, instruct and amuse. +
fancy there is nothing about the homelife that
will contribute more to keeping the boys home at
night and interesting them In family life than
the daily meeting of father and mother, brothers
and sisters, in this social reading circle. Besides,
the pleasantness and entertainment it brings, it is
SO instructive. You have read something that
pleases you and then you talk about it and fix the
points in your mind. This is real education. Not
only that, but you have learned to readi I think
it is a fact that our boys ard girls are growing
up nowadays without really knowing how to read.
OF course they can lisp the words or "mouthe
them,0 as Shakespeare would say, but a real good
entertaining reader is hard to find. So then this
gives practice to the boys and girls in the home.
Let one of them read one night, and another an
other night. or perhaps two or more read each
night, but so arrange It that all of them have a
Uu4h q bU6 ICduIuSs
Now we have plenty of books and papers and
magazines. There is no reason why the family
should not read. Start in a small way, and If
you do, instead of reading once or twice a week
you will soon be reading every night of the week,
and all will be taking part in this most effective
way of holding the bows at home and educating
them at the same time. I cannot conceive of any
more inspiring or beautiful sight than a whole
family sitting around a stove or a fire place during
the winter months, and all taking part in this
method of instruction and Development. To me
this is better than the theatre; more inspiring
than the ordinary lecture; and conduces more to
the welfare and happiness of the family and the
State than almost any other means of mental
employment. Let us try reading in the home,
those of us who do not already have such a home
reading circle. It is easy to get something to
read that all are interested in, and then once get
started in doing this and the habit will grow and
bear rich fruit 10 happier boys and girls in the
home. G. w. BURKETT.

But these corporations should be managed with
due regard to the interest of the public as a
whole"
cised by Mr.. Bryan. Says the Nebraskan: "The
proposition to make the silver dollar redeemable
in gold at the option of the holder is simply a
proposition to establish a new endless chain for
the drawing of gold out of the treasury and it is
preliminary to the proposition which will follow,
if this one is carried out-namely, to retire silver
dollars In order to protect the treasury"
Some Roosevelt Philosophy I'm Conclusion.
Finally. Mr.. Roosevelt gives a good deal of at
tention to local District of Columbia affairs.
Wife heaters he says ought to be whipped instead
of jailed. He also favors Severe child-labor
and factory-inspection laws. It is very desirable
that married women should not. in factories.
The prime duty of the man is to work, to be She
breadwinner; the prime duty of the woman is to
be the mother, the housewife. All questions of tar
if and finance sink into utter insignifcance when
compared with the tremendous, the vital impor-
lance of trying to shape conditions so that these
fulfilled under reasonably favorable circum-
stances. IF a race does not have plenty of chill
dren, or if the children do not grow up, or if
when they grow up they are unhealthy In body
and stunted or vicious In mind, then that race is
decadent, and no heaping up of wealth, no splen-
dor of momentary material prosperity, can avail
In any degree as Offsets"

aIT IS UP TO YoU, MR.. COTTON FARMERl',

- 49, 03 wv M1 0O4AON So
When our article on the Government cotton
crop report was written last week, we believed
farmers could force prices to a much higher level
by holding the unmarketed surplus, but we had
little faith that this would be done.
But now we have faith.
We have never known our farmers to become
more thoroughly aroused over any commercial
outrage. And they are aroused no less in Texas
and Louisiana than in North Carolina and South
Carolina. Throughout the South cotton growers
are making known In no uncertain way their de-
termination not to sell at presetn prices. Coupled
with this resolution, too, is that of reducing next
years crop. If prices this year have been de-
pressed to seven cents, with no surplus brought
over from last year, to what lengths may not the
spectators go next fall if there is a big crop to
buy and a million bales surplus as a lever for
their operations?
The letters which we are printing In our cotton
symposium therefore all strike the same note
Hold your cotton and reduce your acreage"
This is the keynote, and it ought to be re-echoed
at every county cotton growers meeting called
for next Saturday.
Cotton ought to bring between nine and ten
cents anyhow. With the high prices prevailing
for all other products; with the absence of any
surplus brought over from last year; with the in
creasing demand for cotton goods. and with the
price of the manufactured product raised to a
ten cent basis, the decline to seven or eight cents
is clearly artificial and abnormal.
Nothing is palmer than that by united action
farmers can force prices nearer the proper figure.
A man who has always opposed the Farmers Al
lance declared in an Office last week: eff we had
now the organization we had in jute bagging
days, we could drive prices up a cent and a half
as soon as a meeting could be held to pledge
holding the surplus and curtailing the acreage"
And while a permanent organization is much
more effective, a very great deal can be accom-
plshed by the volunteer county meetings called
for next Saturday.
We earnestly urge all Progressive Farmer read
es to attend these meetings. Go to your court
house, II a. M, Saturday, December 18th. Even
if you have sold your cotton. it is to your future
dictate prices at will.
The excellent letters and articles from Harvie
Jordan, T. B. Parker. Ransom Hinton. DR.. Free
man, A. p. Rhyme, and the resolutions from
South Carolina and from the North Carolina
Board of Agriculture, which we are printing else
where in this issue, cover the ground so thorough
ly as to make further editorial comment unnec-
essary. It only remains for the farmers to assert
themselves Saturday.
"It is up to you, Mr.. Cotton Farmer"-if for
once we may be allowed to use a slang expression.
Be at your courthouse at II o'clock sharp, and
take your neighbor with you. If your action is
to be respected, it must be prompt, sharp and
vigorous.

THE CHARGE OF THE
GEORGIA EIGHTH.

At the Battle of Manassas. July 81,
1861.
The rising sun shines gayly
On proud Manassas hight;
Six hundred gallant Georgians
Are ready for the fight.
Each heart beat high and holy
AS with measured steps they go,
For they stand between their firesides
And the invading foe.
The Sbattle RACES fiercely-
Has ragged since break of day
And Shermans fatal battery
With corpses strews the way.
And Beauregard with thrilling voice
AS is the trumpets call
Forward, brave scomrades, to the
charge!
That battery must fall"
Six hundred gallant Georgians!
With quickened step they go,
And fearlessly they follow
Their leader, brave Barlow.
oh, Georgias ancient ehivalry,
Sweep onward in your might
Your cause is just, your arm is strong
Oh, God, defend the right!
The setting sun sinks slowly
On the CORY battlefield
And to Southern rights and valor
The Northern hirelings yield.
The setting sun looks sadly
Where the dead and dying lay
on the CHASTITY field of battle
The six hundred-where are they?
Five deep round Sherman's battery
They lie at set of sun,
But the battery is taken,
And the red field is won.
Sixty of the six hundred
Stand round their leader now,
And deaths eternal shadow clouds
His Vainly laurelled brow.
oh. Georgia's glorious chivalry!
The loved ones and the brave!
They poured their blood like water
forth,
And died that they might save!
And Beauregard, the conqueror,
Looks on the noble dead,
Uncovered, l salute.
The Georgia Eighth" he said.
When history shall reckon
OF this days deeds the fame.
Oh! whose shall be the glory?
And whose shall be the shame?
