In our primer DAYS we were taught
that it was the business of the execu-

to see that the laws were enforced.
It wa also stated that the governor
was the chief executive Of the state

1t does not look like there is any
hope of settling the Chicago strike On
amicable terms. The demands Of the
strikers are unreasonable in many re-
spects. We suppose the war will have
to be fought out to a finish. When it
is oyer one side or the other will be
completely whipped out. We hope then
an end will be put to the labor trou-
bles with which that city has been so
aGiztfd n -ecent years.

The Goldsboro Argus tells us of a
happy negro. He is a barber of that
city and he has received a present of
a watermelon from Florida. Can any
one imagine greater bliss for a negro.
A negro with a Florida melon while
home vines are just blooming. With
what pride he exhibits it to his friends,
and how he licks his chops when he
thinks of the time when he shall dive
into the red heart of that glorious
melon. And our northern friends tell
u IS the southern negro is not happy.
Why, that Goldsboro negro with the
first melon of the a would not

Fully minute passed and then with

FERTILITY OF THE SOIL. Valuable Facts Boiled Down for the Farmer During the Busy
 Season,

The following brief facts are boiled down from an article by Prof. C. G. Hop- kins of the Illinois College of Agricul- ture on Fertility of the Soil:"
 Different types of soil produce differ- ent crop yields under the same condi- tions.
 Soils side by side. but cultivated diff ferently for a term of years, produce very different yields.
 The same soil differs at different times. according to its cultivation and other treatment and lack of treatment.
 One soil will produce 20 bushels of corn. another 40 bushels, another 80 bushels.
 One soil is worth $20 an acre, another $1oo per acre. another $20O per acre largely because of their difference in fer tility or productive capacity.
 Soii can be run down."
 Soil can be improved.
 The fertility of soil can be maintained.
 It is worth money to know soils and be able to improve them.
 The study of soils is vitally connected with profit and propriety in farming, the greatest industry in Illinois.
 Neither live stock nor clover. nor both together. will maintain the fertility of the soil.
 The only way: Preserve good physi- cal conditions and then put back upon the land all of the fertility which is taken on"
 While there are ten essentials of plant fsod. seven of them are usually supplied in abundance. but nitrogen. phosphorus end potassium are rather limited in most soils. So the study of fertility is practically reduced to the study of thess three.
