Statesville Farm we have found
that the earliest maturing varieties
are Iowa Silver Mine, Riley's Favo-
rite. Boone County White, Leaning
Yellow and Rcids Yellow Dent III
the order in which they are given.
These are all Northwestern varieties
of corn and being originated in
climate with a comparatively short
growing season somewhat, at least,
accounts for their inherent tendency
to early maturity when grown under
Southern conditions.
Early Maturing Varieties.
Earliness we do not consider an inn
portant requisite with corn for
North Carolina, except, possibly,
where corn is grown in the noun
famous section of the State, or
where corn. of necessity. has to be
planted late, after the maturity of
some other crop like Irish potatoes
or other truck crops. Under these
circumstances it may be well to use
one of the varieties mentioned above,
especially. if experience. in the past,
has taught the farmer that local va
rieties do not mature before frost
when planted under the circum-
stances mentioned above.
Medium Maturing Varieties.
Our tests have shown Biggs's Pro
life, Craig's Prolific White, Cookies
Prolific and Craig's Prolific Straw
berry to mature at a medium date in
the fall. Some of these are our most
prolific varieties.
Late Maturing Varieties.
We have found that Sanders's I'M
proved, Hollis Strawberry, Week
ley's Improved and Mosby's Prolific,
in the order named. are the latest
maturing varieties we have tested for
the past two years. These varie-
ties generally produce large and
tall stalk when grown under cOndi-
tions or represented by the States
vile Farm. i. e., the results of the
past two years tests at that place
indicate it.
Varieties Adapted to the East.
4 study of the results of our va
riety tests conducted at the Edge
combe Farm during the past five
years, Indicate that the varieties of
corn best suited to the fine loamy
soils of the Eastern and Southwest
EN- parts of the State are Cookies
Prolific. Big@s's Prolific. Weekdays
Improved. Craig's Prolific Straw
berry. Sandcrs's Improved and Hollis
Strawberry, in about the order in
which they are arranged. Cookies
Prolific and BiggS's Prolific have
proven exceeding good varieties,
when the former was grown from
seed of our selection and the latter
from seed of Mr.. Biggss growing.
Varieties Adapted to the Piedmont Section.
Our tests have not progressed far
enough at the Statesville Farm to
state with the same positivcness in

SOME PLAIN TALK
BY Col. r. B. Watson in the Baptist
State Convention.

C,l. R. B. Watson, of Ridge Spring
'orner candidate for governor, stirred
up the Baptist convention in Colum'
bia one day last week In ringing
speech against the "intemperate ad-
vocacy Of temperance" taking occs'
sion In the course OF his remarks tc
score the hypocrisy Of preachers and
others. He was speaking to the re-
port of the temperance committees
report, q motion having been put to
publish the report. He declared In a
voice trembling with emotion that
we are not ready to enftr prohibi-
tion in this state until as q church
the members and deacons are prohi'
Fbited from drinking. He told OF
seeing two men who had been moder.
ators Of associations and two deacOns
or more, take drinks with young
men.
eff you don't dare to enforce tenn
perar CO in your churches" he declared
''how can you expect to enforce 1t in
the state. 60 home and educate
your people along temperance lines
befo you talk about disfranchising
people who drink or sell whiskey." "
Col. Watson added that he had
ineorporated in the deeds to lots be
sold at his home that the owner
would forfeit his title If he sold
Whiskey on the premises.
Half a dozen members OF the con-
ference replied to Col. Watson with
more or less heat.
Col. Watson explained that he e did
not favor the dispensary exc pit as
the most practical way Of handling
the matter at present. he was a
temperance man.
TIE report of the Woman's Mis-
sionary Union, read by the Rev. @. E.
Butts, was very interesting. The
society raised euriug the year Sl3. 1888
which is 81, 421 more than it ralst d
last year. There are nine women
missionaries in the state supported by
the union, a situation that has no
parallel in the south. This Rev. DR..
C. O.. Brown had a kick coming"
against the inconsistency of the con.
ference. He complained that though
the conference forbid women preach
irg to men that here they we're going
out to tie Indians and preaching TO
them.

STEAMER GOES ASHORE
And Many of Those Aboard OF Her
Were Drowned.

Thirteen lives were lost In the wreck
Of The steamer Lunenherg, which went
ashore Wednesday # Amherst har
Dor M3gdalen Islands. A dispatch
to that effect was received at Halifax
fro n Meal CJve, near the scene Of the
wreck, by Leslie, Hart and Son, own.
ers of The steamer.
The steamer had a crew OF seven
teen and probably carried several pas.
sangers, Including NJ. Leslie, q mem,
,r Of the Canadian parliament and a
member Of the firm which owns the
vessel
When the steamer struck there
were seventeen persons on board, in
uding a crew Of sixteen and Mr..

learned.
The Lunenburg had been runEing
between Pictou and the Magdaleu Is.
lands since last spring. During a
high gale Tuesday, which was ac'
companied by binding snow flurries,
1t is thought that the steamer went
out of her course In trying to make
B nherst harbor and brought up on
he rocks that lie some distance Cf
shore In that vicinity. The steamer
evidently had bsen ashore for some
time before she was seen. Eff ,rts
ware made to communicate with her,
lut tho strong currents that spent
ound that point and the high seas
made it impossible to launch a boat.
Later the weather moderated and five
Of the crew came ashore, the twelve

RACE SUICIDE IDEA.
Possesses the County. but the South
Still Loves Children.

In Its November issue the National
Geographical Maglzine presents some
interesting facts, computed from the
CENSUS, respecting the proportion OF
children of the United States. The
official data show that there has been
steady decline in the relative num-
ber of children during the past bun.
dred years. At the beginning of tho
last century the childlen under ten
years of age n,.mberd one third Of the
population; at the end Of the century
they numbered less than one fourth
While the Gecrt ase Was constant, it
was at varying rates durirg successive
decades.
This of itself, however, is held not
to be proof conclusive of declining
birth rate, ss the decrease Of the nun.
Der of children In proportion to popu-
lation might be accounted for by an
increase in the average duration OF
life and the large irtlu1 Of adult i'm.
migrants without children. However
it was deemed q fair test to calculate
the proportionate number Of children
In the county years old to each l.
900 women between the ages OF fifteen
and forty nine, the period OF potential
motherhood. Applying this test it is
found that the number Of children
per ! 900 women IN 1859 (the fcst year
for which such data were Gvatlable)
was 634. In 1900 the proportion other
words the number of child1en to po.
tential mothers in 1900 was oaly about
three fourth as much as in 1860.
This is held to show the persistent
decline in birth rate during the forty
years. The greatest decline has baen
in the north and west. Table shows
that in New E 1gland and New York
the birth rate per year in forty years
has bsep less than 400 children to L.
900 women al d In the middle states
the rate has not gone above 500 per
1000. In the Southern states how.
ever, the rate has averaged between
600 and 700 per !, 1000 during the per-
iod under consideration. Tne zona OF
greatest fecundity seems to have be
gun at North Carolina and extended
through the south the New Mexico,
with the single exception Of Florida,
Louisiana showed a dscline In the
rate according to IL e latest census.
The deci ine Is not confined to any
single race, but is snared by all the
races, and was heaviest curing the
decades of greatest immigration. That
the dropping off In the south was not
as great as In The north is believed to
be accounted for by the fact that the
south has received less immigration
than the other sections. In the last
twenty years it appears, the decrease
in the birth rate Of negro children has
bean especially rapid. Without ex.
ception the proportion CT children to
population is greater In the country
districts than in the cities. Ia the
North Atlantic country districts, how
ever, the proportion is almost as great
in the cities as In the CT uuGry, while
In the South Atlantic division there
are about twice as many children, IN
proportion, In the cJuntry aS In the
cities.
