ers into similar organization, and in last weeks

Carolina farmers are meeting at Clemson College,

Nor should our Southern farmers forget that
the Farmers National Congress is to meet in

PROBLEM FOR THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.

If the North Carolina Farmers Alliance in
Hillsboro this week will arrange some scheme of
cooperation with the South Carolina Farmers
Alliance. looking to united effort for the general
Development of the organization in both the
Carolinas, it will probably accomplish more good
than would be done by the consideration of any
other problem.
The Farmers Exchange in South Carolina not
now being in operation, arrangements should be
made for allowing South Carolina Aliancemen to
patronize the North Carolina Business Agency on
the same terms as are given the North Carolina
brethren. The South Carolina lecturers ought
also to be invited to visit North Carolina, while
We know our Palmetto State readers would never
forget it if Lecturer Gates should once go among
them.
The Progressive Farmer and Cotton Plant. as
the organ of the Alliance in both States, hopes
that the officers and members of each organization
will think about these suggestions and then dis
cuss them in our columns. little cooperation
would help all of us.

A LOSS TO THE STATE.

Progressive Farmer readers will learn with
genuine regret that Prof. Franklin Sherman Jr
for several years Entomologist of the North Car
olina Department of Agriculture, has resigned
that position in order to accept the chair of En-
tomology and Zoology in Ontario Agricultural
College Professor Sherman is a fine example of
a man making place for himself When he be-
gan his work here, farmers did not appre-
cate its Importance, but he has made it one Of
the most useful of all the divisions of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and one that mast now be
kept at high standard of efficiency in order to
satisfy the people.
Personally, Professor Sherman is young, ro-
bust, genuine, big-bodied, big-souled fellow of
clean life and high character, a man everybody
likes. We feel that his going is personal loss
to us, and serious loss to North Carolina.
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-08-08

By caring for trees in this manner you can ex-
pect rather quick returns. In more Northern
climates, native walnuts, pecans, and hickories
will usually bear when they are twelve to fifteen
years old.
Chestnuts come in at still earlier age. In the
Southern States most nut trees that have been
given some care and attention will produce crops
in five ten years.
The commercial nut orchard should receive at
tention similarly given to the apple, the peach
the pear: that is, the orchards should be plowed
and cultivated the soil improved in a physical
way through the use of legumes, cowpeas and
clover. Fertilizers should also be added to feed
the tree; and what else is needed to make good,
vigorous, healthy growth should be done
What is said here, is not discussion about the
commercial nut orchard; different treatment
is needed there This is a plea for nuts on the
farm: side issue that will mean good results In
many ways. It means larger idea of the farm.
We have looked too long on the farm as corn
wheat cotton producer. Let us look on it
the great American institution, and let us
grow nuts to help make that institution complete

FARMERS CONVENTIONS.

One of the most encouraging signs OF the times
is the frequency with which farmers meeting
for counsel and discussion as to matters affecting
their interests. The cotton growers meetings last
winter called out their hundreds of determined
farmers even when sleets and freezing weather
seemed to make travel almost impossible. Inter
est in farmers Institutes is increasing rapidly,
and in North Carolina the attendance has doubled
within the last three years. This summer there
unions, anniversary celebrations, and educational
rallies. And at these meetings, too, mere dema-
gogue politicians are not so much in demand
are predetermined men who have something to
suggest looking to the genuine upbuilding of the
State
All this is gratifying, but it is even more en-
couraging that these efforts toward cooperation
and mutual helpfulness are not allowed to stop
with the township or county Recent Developments
DID tar to make the Southern Cotton Assocla-
uon permanency, and it may knit the farmers

the finest plan of organization and the best ma
chihery for a general farmers club that has yet
oeen brought out, and in North Carolina it is
steadily regaining its lost ground.

NUTS ON THE FARM.

The nut industry is new So completely so, it
scarcely has nomenclature Occasionally in the
past there appeared on the market unusual
hickory nut, chestnut of good size, but indif-
erent quality pecan long, but thick shelled; and
so on. But now this line of work is assuming the
Importance Of an industry.
And just as soon as we realize that nut trees
will afford not only pleasure in their care, but al
so considerable profit, their worth as a cult
vated crop will be appreciated and careful atten-
ton will be given them.
Nuts and raisins! What dish is more whole
some or delicious. or healthful? What food have
we that combines flesh materials and energy-pro-
ducing materials so cheaply, so completely?
And now nut trees can be we'll combined with
farming. Think of the road-sides. often for miles
devoid of trees / can think of nothing that
would add more to the value of the farm than nut
trees of various sorts along fence rows and the
road-sides. Aside from the shade they would
make, the improved appearances they would pre-
sent, would come the commercial value of the
crop. Of course this phase would not bring the
financial reward that cultivated, specially form
ed nut grove would Still its Importance should
not be overlooked.
The old rosd-sides and permanent fence rows
and old creeks and branches would be ideal so far
as location for walnuts, pecans, chestnuts and
hickory nuts.
IF you do not care to get nursery stock, plant
the nuts but look after them little. Keep the
weeds down; dig around the young sprouts once
or twice year. bit of fertilizer will tickle the
roots, and little breeding in this will bring
about faster growth and quicker full harvest.
Then don't neglect occasional watch over the
young trees as they grow. The caterpillars are
enemies: burn them out. Trimming will pay by
making a better appearing tree.

Farmers Travel More and More Each Year.

It is an interesting fact to note in passing that
Mecklenburg farmers are travelling more and
more each year. Several of the leading cotton
growers of the county have been to Texas and
other Southwestern States this year, and others
will go. Many farmers took in the Worlds Fair
at st. Louis last year and others went to the
far West with special parties. This is consider
ed one of the best signs of the times A great
deal is to be learned by travel and the farmer
who sees what his fellows doing in various
parts of the country is better prepared to i'm
prove his own condition.-Charlotte Observer.
