L)rdsburg had a smallpox scare last
Friday. After the Lordsburg s. Ha-
chita train left Hachita two children
on the train we're discovered 70 have
smallpox. They we're part Of a family
that had left Juarez that morning. en-
route TO Morencl, where the father
was going TO work. The Mexican
family was given the car. When the
tram reached LordsburR, the FIRST
stop,the al was set out and the health
officers notified. The car was quaran-
tined and the Mexican family was not
lied not TO leave the car. The health
officers notified the railroad company
that IL must move the car out OF town.
The only thing the railroad company
could do was to take the sick people
back where It got them, to Hachita.
DR.. Crocker. the railroads physician,
went with them, They we're unloaded
in the suburbs, and the health officers
at Hachita we're notified, and immed.
lately took charge OF the case. Judge
Anderson got them a tent and pro-
visions aud located them out on the
prairie, at a safe distance from town.
The expense Of caring for them will
fall on the county. The laws Of the
United States strictly prohibit the adj
mission OF any person suffering from a
contagious disease, and the govern
ment maintains a force OF men at Ell
Paso TO see that the law is enforced.
Notwithstanding the inspectors this
family came over the river, and there
is no telling how widely they have
spread the disease. County Commits
sioner Ownby Immediately wrote to
the immigration inspectors at El Paso,
notifying them OF these people illegal
ly In the country, and asked them to
attend to the case aud see that they
were deported. A reporter Of the El
Paso Herald interviewed the inspect
ors about the case. Chief Inspector
Schumacher said the matter was not
under his Jurisdiction, that it was
looked after by the marine hospital
service, and he had referred the mat
ter to DR.. Alexander. The reporter
then called on DR.. Alexander, who
said the letters had been referred to
him "but 1 have nothing TO do with
It," Commissioners Ownby has taken
the matter up direct with the Sc
cretary of commerce and labor, and
DR.. Crocker has taken it up with the
chief surgeon of the marine hospital
service, and it is probable that some
one will be woke up. The father OF
the children says his name is Placio de
Ramirez, that he and his family cross
ed the bridge from Juarez to Ell PasC
on foot about half past eight on the
morning of the 18th, that there were
several inspectors and a doctor at thC
bridge, but they were so busy witt
other contract laborers that they die
not pay much attention to him. Ont
OF the children died and was buried
Tuesday.

says that a portion is a part Of the

printed. Readers who are at all interested in
cattle diseases should apply for the stock book
mentioned on page 3. Wakes article on terrac-
ing adds to the interest in this subject, and this
will be followed by a strong article from DR..
Freeman next week.
Perhaps the most notable feature Of this issue is
Mr.. T. B.. Parker's review of the New Orleans
Cotton Convention. Mr.. Parker represented The
Progressive Farmer there, and he is also State
Agent of the Cotton Growers and Business Mems
Association. Every member will want to read
what he has to say. Next week we expect to print
a ringing letter from Mr.. J.. A. Brown who was
one of the leading figures of the New Orleans
meeting.
No matter how good a mans crops may be, or
how good the prices, he cannot really enjoy life
unless he is healthy. And in the majority of
cases, i'll health is due to the violation of one of a
comparatively few simple fundamental laws. Be
cause of this, it is a good thing to keep these laws
constantly before the public; and all our readers
are to be congratulated that DR.. II. F. Freeman
has begun contributing an irregular series of sim
pie "Health Talks" No. 3 appears this week and
itself contains enough wisdom, if practiced, to
lengthen the average mans life by ten years.
Our shorter articles, the discussion of the school
law by Hessrs. Cutehin and Johnson; the com
ment on folks and affairs in Robson and Johnston
by Lecturer Gates; the South Carolina letter from
Farmer; :" and Miss Womb1e's entertaining &C
count Of Lafayette's visit to North Carolina-all
are worth while. And with such a corps of cor
respondents as We have mentioned, The Progress

soon as they have finished up one lot, put them
in another, and then plant the lot that has been
eaten to some other crop, and thus keep the 30
tation a constant one. It does not take long to
get started in this way, and the soil will become
more fertile and more productive with each sue
cessive year. Hog-raising is one of our most
profitable industries, and we cannot give it too
careful attention at this season of the year.
4. We should prepare now to make what we
will use on the farm. Too many of us are buying
hay and corn to feed our stock and mules during
the winter months to grow cotton the next sea-
son. I feel it is better to decrease the acreage
in cotton and grow some eow-peas for soil i'm
provement and hay, SO that we will not need to
buy hay of any kind the coming year. And then
we ought to grow corn so as to get all the grain
that we need for our working stock, and for a
few more head of hogs and cattle. We will have
some of these to sell next year. And then I think
we ought to plan now to save the corn stover this
season. I am confident that if the reader
could see our barn filled with nice clean, bright
corn stover, he would no longer pull fodder and
leave this valuable feeding stuff to waste in the
field. And so there are lots of things on the
farm that we are going to use this year. During
these long rainy days, and long winter evenings
that we now have with us, why not get right down
and carefully think over these things with a set
determination to grow everything we use during
this coming year!
5. Let us prepare to have more livestock this
coming year. We need livestock for the manure
that they will make; for the many acres they will
improve; for the profit they viii bring; and for
the utilization of labor during the winter months.
This means more forage; it means produce to
raise on the farms; and it means more money
when the years operations are ended.

THIS WEEKS PAPER-soME RANDOM COM

There is a considerable area in Virginia and
northeast North Carolina in which the peanut is
the chief money crop, and We intend to give pea
nut subjects more attention this year. We hope
that the growers of the crop will cooperate with
us by writing on all the problems of fertilizing,
cultivating, picking and marketing. At this time
the industry is unusually prosperous, and some
declare that peanuts now are as profitable as
twelve-cent cotton. We hope Mr.. Clark's excel
lent letter will be followed by others.
The agricultural world is having a cotton
spasm just now, and while the growers of the
feecy stable are passing through this crisis, we
hope that those of our readers who depend upon
other crops will excuse the extraordinary amount
of space we must give to cotton talk. Cotton is
and must remain the one great staple crop Of the
Southern States, and everybody in the South is
interested in seeing it sell proftably, even if he
does not raise or handle a pound of it. At the
same time we understand perfectly that there
must be variety in our paper, and we intend to
give this variety. This week our tobacco grow
ing readers will be interested In Mr.. Geo. T. Bull
locks letter on the cultivation of this crop. We
shall probably not issue a special tobacco edition
this year as we did last, but we should like to
have more articles from growers of the weed.
Trucking is another subject we wish to handle
better this season.
Mr.. T. III. Raney's letter ON the profits in can
ming deserves a wide reading at this time. And
canning is only one of many side industries more
profitable than rowing staple farm crops.
Besides Prof. Kilgore's reply to Mr.. McKin-
non, there are several other excellent farm arti-
cles on pages 2 and 8. "How knowledge Pays"

Saturday, February 18th; county meetings,

Wednesday, February 22nd. These are the cor
rect dates; those printed last week we're incor-

We hope that North and South Carolina will join
their sister States in organizing on the days men
ton growers of the South come together as one
man for the protection of their interests. And
we should also like to have a brief report from
every county meeting held. Send lists of county
