Cotton Growers Meetings May I'd:
Let Every Farmer Attend.

Messrs. Editors: Mr.. Harvie Jor
dan has issued a general call for
mass meetings to be held throughout
the cotton growing States on the
first Tuesday in May. It is desired
that these meetings shall be held in
each county in North Carolina where
cotton is grown. Mr.. Jordan writes:
"I think it highly important that
this rally should be held. We want
to take advantage of that occasion
to increase the membership of our
Association and to get from the
farmers present at those meetings a
concensus of opinion as to what the
actual reduction of cotton acreage
and the use of guano under cotton
will be for 1905. This information
should be gathered and Immediately
transmitted through the. various
organizations to the State Secretary,
and by him forwarded to the head
quarters of the Association, where
it can be tabulated and put in form
so as to give us some idea as to
where we are standing with reference
to this very important feature"
In accordance with the above from
President Jordan, I respectfully re-

A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.
Peach Orchard One-Half a Mile Long.

"It is worth a journey from the
North" says the Southern Pines
Tourist, "to have been here last week
to see the coloring in the Niagara
and Van Lindley orchards. A peach
orchard half a mile long with solid
mass of pink flowers, fanked with
acres and acres of white pear and
plum blossoms is not permitted the
people of everywhere. Such things
are reserved for the favored regions
of the earth. Talk about the flower
displays in the conservatories of the
cities of the North. If Philadelphia
or Pittsburg or Boston had such an
exhibit of flowers as has been acces-
sible at any of the big orchards about
Southern Pines, excursion trains
would be run from all the country
towns within a radius of one hun
dred and fifty miles. One of the
events in Pittsburg at this season, or
a little later, will be the visit of
thousands of country PEOPLE to the
city to see the tulip exhibits at the
public flower conservatories. What
would they think if they had the
peach orchards of Southern Pines,
or the arbutus or the wild violets to
see, to say nothing of the myriads of
other wild flowers that will be COM
ing on from now until fallW
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-04-25

quest the cotton farmers, business
men and all others interested in the
future welfare of our cotton farm
ers and the South's great industrial
interests to meet at their county
seats on the first Tuesday in May
(May 2nd) for the purposes named
in Mr.. Jordan's call. Let no man be
too busy to attend that meeting. It
is highly important that the attend
ance be large and the statistics given
out be accurate. In counties where
no organization has been effected [
respectfully ask all cotton farmers
and others interested to meet that
day and effect an organization. There
is too much at stake to delay longer.
IF we wish to enjoy the products
of our labors we must come together
in organization otherwise we can
simply be slaves for the spectators
of Wall Street and permit them to
grow rich from their speculations
while we grow poorer.
[ shall gladly send literature to
anyone requesting it.
Do not forget the time nor the
meeting.

A WORD TO TOBACCO GROWERS,

]. o. Gravely Writes to the Farmers of
Virginia and Carolina Against Big
Crop.
To the Tobacco Growers of North
Carolina and Virginia:
Having possibly more informa-
tlon concerning tobacco than a
great majority of you, and on ac-
count of disposition on your part
greatly to increase your crop this
year, / cannot refrain from offering
few suggestions which, to me, ap-
pear pertinent at this time. In the
first place, / want to urge you not
to plant a big crop of tobacco this
year, and to show you, if / can, the
great danger with which such an act
will be attended. When we had
strong and abundant competition big
crops of tobacco invariably sold low,
and, as a result, hardships in various
forms were heaped almost mountain
high upon the farmer and many 9th
ers who were interested in tobacco.
Then isn't it worse than folly for
sane men to plunge head-long into
the production of large crop when
they know that the markets are al
most now without competition? I'm
der the existing condition of affairs
in the tobacco world you have no
guarantee of profitable prices even
for a small crop, but you do have
some grounds for hoping for good
prices; then why plant large crops of
tobacco without the slightest prob
ability of receiving one penny above
the cost of production, if that, for
it? No man who is in the least de-
gree acquainted with the present
state of affairs will even think for
one moment that there is the slight
est probability of receiving for a big
crop of tobacco this year prices
which will justify you in planting.
Independent buyers of leaf tobac-
co are diminishing in numbers year
by year, and, as a result, compet-
tion is growing weaker, and with
the passing of honest competition,
without which profitable prices for
tobacco cannot be obtained, / warn
you against the danger that will ac
company an increased acreage. AS
one, my friends, who speaks not for
personal gain, but whose heart is
filled to verfow with the strongest
possible desire to see you receive and
enjoy at least a reasonable share of
the wealth you produce. I beg you,
not to plant big crop of tobacco
this year. j. 0. GRAVELY.

cANTELoUPE GROWING.

Nessrs. Editors The cantaloupe
is fast becoming one of our most
profitable shipping crops and, in my
nninion. the most difficult to grow
ito the queens taste"
Cantaloupes should be grown on
2 medium light, loamy soil.
The land should be thoroughly
broken the previous fall and har-
rowed several times during winter
and spring.
Planting and FertiIizing.
Rows should be run off six feet
apart by the 14th of February and
2 good quantity of stable or lot
manure drilled in these burrows and
bedded up with sulky disk harrow or
four burrows with turn plow.
This puts the land in good shape
to dry and warm up. On or about
the 18th of March take sulky har-
row and throw this bed down fiat;
reopen beds where stable manure was
drilled and distribute about 500 hum
dred of guano with s per cent phos-
phoric acid; 4 per cent ammonia;
per cent potash. Cover guano with
ore furrow. On or about March
25th throw the other furrow and roll
the bed and plant with planter or
hand. about 1S to "a inches apart
I would advise replanting twice at
intervals of about seven days.
Thinning and Cultivating.
They are easily transplant - from
one hill to another right IL Ter a
rain.
The enemy to the plant is a little
bug that resembles the '1ady bug"
and tobacco dust or land plaster
should be applied just as soon as you
see they have attacked the plants.
As soon as practical thin to two
plants. and leave them twenty-four
inches in hills. Cultivate shallow
and keep land well crusted with cot
ton rakes and cultivators.
Just before they begin to run, bar
off on either side, and use from GOO
to 500 pounds of same grade guano
as mentioned above.
After they have put out runners
about two feet long. I broadcast
about one bushel of unknown peas
per acre and sweep out with long
sweeps about five times to the mid
die. The vines are then placed back
as nicely as possible, and this ends
the cultivation of them.
Gathering the Most Important Task.
The gathering of the melon is the
most important of all.
A few yellow ones will indicate
their readiness for market. 1t is
only the trained eye that can gather
them successfully. The sage green
color, well netted, that can be severed
from stem with a good pressure of
the thumb. is the one that is ready
for the market.
Only experience can guide you in
pulling the melon. If there is a big
crop of cantaloupes, would advise
shipping only forty-fve to the box.
Shipping. Varieties and Profits.
They should be nicely packed with
torty-fve melons to the box, by eX-
press or refrigerator. Your location
would determine the better method.
The Rocky Ford variety is now
prevailing.
One hundred boxes per acre is a
conservative yield. and one hundred
dollars per acre is a conservative
profit.
The seed should be planted not ex-

tion--but your kidneys most, because

the difficult task Of constantly conveying

satisfactory roles in the opera is that OF
Klingsor, the magician. Mr.. Goritz has a

OF the choruses. that of the female
voices was remarkable for its strength
and purity of tone. The male chorus. on
the contrary, was but mediocre. The
singing Of the flower maiden music was a
wonderful piece of work. and the various

charming. The knights Of the Grail did
not do SO well and on more than one oc-
