equality with the negro. His color is
more indelible than the leopard's spots
When Wannamaker handed his daugh-
ter over to this deluded darkey he re-
cogniZed presumably, that the Negro
was his own social equal, and his will
lingness to accept him as the husband
of his white daughter. The last thing
that would be tolerated in the South
is an occurrence of this kind And
Booker would be the best man who
would dare attempt it. There is a limit
to patience, and the principle held
most sacred and inviolable in the
South will not be polluted here. Toll
GRAFTON is not the word.
This talk about the social elevation
of the negro, that is to the plane OF
the white man. is a dan
gerous matter, a discussion pregnant
with harm to the negro. Let
him beware. Booker has at last de-
stroyed what remained Of the good
opinion the South has had OF him.
This desire for social recognition ana
honors at the hand of the Northern
whites has been his fatal weakness. 1t
has eradicated the morals of his teach
ings, spoiled the virtue of his better
examples: revealed a blackness and
degradation in his ideals; lifted the
veil from his falsely colored hopes;
hope in him desolate.
And he has left the Southern white
mans burden just where it was before
ihis false prophet entered the field at
tracted notoriety, won the mistaken
sympathy of Northern philanthropists
with more money than brains, and by
the impulse of a misdirected charity
he was inevitably pushed to his pres
ent poSition-and condition. But the
most unfortunate part of the whole
affair is that he should have commit
led this grieVous, objectionable error
just at the time when he might have
been of incalculable benefit and real
3ervice to his race. He was SO situat-
I'd that he, by cooperation with the
southern States, could have done
more towards prolonging the ease, il
rot solving this greatest of economic
problems than could any other one
eolored man. He now seeks for him
self and race social and unqualified
political equality. He will never have
either. He is the foremost negro ex-
ponent of higher education for the r."
gro. The negro as a race has proved
Itself incapable and unworthy of it,
md this last act of Booker Washing
toms has been far reaching in crystal
izing strong sentiment against it
throughout the South"

not seen men already growing GER
tain crops on it, The dispatch claims
that the work of the soil survey has
advanced the value of the trucking
soils on the Atlantic coast from IS
value up to 5000 an acre, when, in
fact, the work of the soil survey has
not added a cent to the value of any
land they have been over. Whatever
advance has been made in the value
of the truck soils of the Atlantic coast
has been due to the men who have
worked them and who demonstrated
their value long before the soil sur
vey found them out. The claims of
this wonderful Soil Bureau, which
costs over 100000 a year. are about
as truthful as most of the claims be-
ing made by the Department of Agri-
culture They claim credit for the
tea experiments in South Carolina,
when they were made by private en-
terprise and the department only
found it out when the experiments
were a success. They claim the de-
velopment of the rice industry in
Louisiana in similar manner, and
whenever any cultivators, by special
energy, develop any new industry in
any part of the country, at once some
youngster comes from the department
10 write it up and claim it as the
work of the Department of Agricul-
ture. There are, nevertheless, some
in the department who are doing good
work, but many seem to realize that
the permanency of their positions de-
ponds on the amount OF Slorihcauon
they do for the department. There is
too much bureaucracy, too much red
tape, too much claiming credit for
work not done, too much political
scheming and figurine for an appro-
priation. and the sooner the whole de-
partment is shaken up and reorganized
on sensible lines the better for the
farmers. Let all crop reports come
out as fast Ss received. There is
no earthly need to let them accumu-
late to q fixed date to help the specu-
lators but keep the public Informed

FALSE HUNGER.

Editorial Corresnunicnce.

Friday we had largely attended
institute at the State farm near States
vile, n. G. over $50 farmers gath
cred there under the trees on the
lawn, while we spoke from the porch
OF the dwelling. This farm is one of
four farms that have been bought
by the farmers of North Carolina and
are being supported entirely by the
farmers of the State. II seemed that
nearly the whole assembly Yesterday
were readers of The Practical Farm
er, and they crowded around to greet
the editor. And wherever we go we
find that the readers of The Practical
Farmer always come out to the insti-
tutes. The superintendent of the farm
who is one of our students, has the
place in fine condition and the cotton
and corn crops were clean and well
cultivated and promisino After the
speaking was over he took the crowd
to see the experimental part of the
farm where a large area is devoted
to plat experiments with cotton, corn
of the Piedmont country naturally a
strong soil but which here had been
considerably run down, and hence we'll
adapted to the purpose Of showing
how to improve it. 1t has been found
that this soil is abundantly supplied
with potash in the usual form of an
sumo that lime will have a good eff
feet. In going over the cotton plats
we were shown plats where nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash had been
applied separately and then in com
bination, and we were struck with
the fact that neither phOsphoric acid
nor potash, where applied alone,
seemed to have much effect on the
crop. But when both potash and
phosphate We're combined it was hard
to see any difference between this plat
and the next one, to which all three
elements We're applied. 1t was quite
evident that while the soil is full of
potash. the mixing of potash with the
phosphate certainly produced far
greater results than either separately.
This fact We have often noticed, and
it would seem that in these soils it
is merely a question of relative econ
omy as to whether the farmer shall
use potash or shall use lime in his
rotation to release the potash in his
soil. This we settled years ago in
Virginia in favor Of using the lime,
but here, where lime is far more cost
ly. it may be more economical to ap-
ply soluble potash. These farms, rep
resenting the different soils and eli
mates of the State will be of great
interest to North Carolina farmers.

Why is This Thus.

r. L. Watts, in the National Stock
man and Farmer, says that in the
graduating class of 1905 at the Penn
sylvana state College, numbering SO,
there were but three graduates in agri-
culture. This seems to indicate that
the farmers of Pennsylvania have lit
tie interest in agricultural education,
and need waking up to the great ia
cilities offered at the State college for
young men whose lives are to be spent
on the farm or in occupations directly
connected with agriculture. With the
very competent faculty in agriculture
there the State college should have
hundreds of students in the agricul-
tural course. States south of Penn
sylVania and west of her, are evincing
greater interest in agricultural train
ing. In the South, especially in one
college with which We are familiar
the number of students in agriculture
exceeds the numbers In any of the
other courses in q total Of over 500
at the colle~n The Southern farm
ers are getting to realize the great
need for better farmno in the South,
and the agricultural department OF
the colleges is being crowded with
students Pennsylvania farmers seem
content to go along in the old way and
let the boys learn agriculture behind
a pillow. With the great activity in
this State in Farmers Institutes it
would seem that if some effort was
made at these Institutes TO stir up the
farmers to the ""eat need for educat-
ing their sons for their profession, the
college would soon be crowded with
students in agriculture. If the Farm
erS' Institutes do not have this effect
they are not doing what they should
do for the agriculture of the State.
