as the weed and grass seed are buried
too deep to come up. Plants will not
take DOT in loose soil, SO that when
land is broken deep in the spring or
just before planting time, they stand
still until the latter part of May and
June when the lane becOmes firm and
mellow. If the soil is broken two to
four months before planting time and
not disturbed till seed time then har-
row down if clayey, drag if sandy,
seed Will come UP and get a better
stand. We have all noticed hat land
broken or bedded up in April is usually
cloddy and never crumbles until June;
if it is dry it stays in clods, if it rains
it bakes and when plowed flakes up
in clOds. In June. rain or no rain,
it pulveriZes and remains in this con-
dition; and until these conditions come
about the crop will not grow or the
ground hold moisture. By breaking
or bedding the land in fail and win

bushels, and in the poor crop year of
1907 the yield dropped to 2,592,OOO,-
600. The crop of 1900 was 2,927,OOD
600 bushels, SO that the average for
the three years preceding 1908 was
2,l2S,O0O, 600 bushels, or but 36,OOO,-
O0O bushels less than the 1908 crop.
Inls shortage, as compared with the
average supply for the preceding three
years, is q mere bagatelle, and it is
strange that the announcement of the
departments figures should have
caused weakness in the market.
There is a steady increase in the
consumption Of corn, and each year
finds an increasing quantity diverted
to uses which are Of very recent in
ceptlon. Not very many years ago
corn was so cheap hat 1t was used
Tor fuel in Kansas, but the case with
Whlch the markets at home and
abroad have assinlilited an average Of
.!29,0Oo 600 bushels per year for the
last three years points concIusivtly to
the fact that corn will never again be
available at 4 price that will warrant
it's use for fuel. Unless there is a
weakening in the price of other
grains, nome consumption will take up
all u this mammoth corn crop, and
leave US again with bare bins, as was
the case when the 1909 crop began
moving to market. King cotton is all
right in ais mall kingdom in the
South, but, as a prodigal distributor
OF wealth, corn is king by an over
whelming majority.

One must think and talk in big figures

THE RALEIGH HEAD PIECE

The ~f:gure-head of the United States
Ship Raleigh has been received in this
city and is being placed in the State
Museum.
This figure-head is a piece Of art
and that it has been secured for the
State is a matter Of congratulatiOn.
At q later date the figure-head Of the
North Carolina will also be placed in
the Museum.
The figure-head Of the Raleigh is IN

In the f~igure-head there are 4.1So

that the total cost was about $4,000.

compared with IA working days last
year. Our Geographic adviceS from
the larger gins in each county indi-
cate some loss. AS we have had
splendid weather during the period,
being exceedingly mild and only local
rains over portion of belt. Last year
during this period was had a cold snap
lasting several days, and considerable
rain, and the amount ginned to No
vember IA was construed bullSh.
Taking everything into consideration,
I consider a ginning Of 1000, 900 bales
exceedingly bullish, and / think as
soon as it is published the spinners
will decide the crop is much under
their present ideas, n come in and
buy their supplies.
There are several reasons why this
crop has been ginned earlier than
usual. First. it is the first short
crop in several years caused by dry
weather. A dry weathe crop opens
early, while a short crop, as 1903,
1905 and 1907, which was caused by
wet weather, opens late; second, dur
ing past two years, on the advice Of
the agriculture Departments ex-
perts, the farmers in the weevil sec
ton AVE planted almost all their
crop With early maturing varieties
that have small bolls and mature and
open early and have to be picked at
once, or it falls out: third. the price
has been extremely high and farm
ers have rushed the picking and gin
ming in order to sell. The movement
compared with amount ginned clearly
proves this. The light weight bales
G2-lb light according to Secretary
Hester,) also proves it, as they did
not wait to get a large load before
going to the gin, but as soon as they
got a fair bale rushed it to market;
fourth, we have the smallest top crop
groWn in several years. and as dry
Weather came on all over the belt dur
Ing the last Of August and first half
of September, it caused. the plant to
quit making and mature what was on
it. Take the Mississippi Valley States;
they usually gin about 40 to so per
cent after November /; this year they
are almost finished. except in a few
localities in the northern part.
M November l estimate was care
fully made from reports made by our
g%inners, and l have the very greatest
confidence in the figures. Two years
ago, with a short crop, we over-esti-
mated the crop 10000 bales. It is a
w~ell-knovn fact that small crops are
over-estinated early in the season and
large ones under-eStimated. Only
twice in 10 yearsohas the government
over-estimated the crop, 1903 and
1907, the first only a few thousand,
but the last several hundred thous-

NORTH CAROLINA INJURED
Much of the Best Tobacco is Sold

and Seconds the Suggestion Of the

To the Editor: I notice an article
bv the Yanceyville Sentinel written
on the subject Where North Carolina

mend every word the editor Of the
Sentinel has said for he has hit the
keynote and spoken every word the
truth, and as a travelling man who
has travelled over nearly every county
in the State I want to say that the
counties of Caswell, Rockingham,
Granville, Alamance and Stokes pro-
duce in my opinion the inest tobacco
in the State, and a great deal, possi-
bly, a very large majority, is, sold on
the DanviI1e, Virginia, market and
shipped abroad, which gives Virginia
the credit Of producing the finest to-
bacco in the entire country, which
IS doing North Carolina an Injustice.
OF these five great obacc produce

duces the finest, that is a leaf fit for

HAVE MADE GOOD.

The last year has been good year
for kepublicanism in Idaho. Diff
'ferences have been fought out, men
have been elected, seemingly on pro-
baton and they have been making
good, and unless there is some turn
in affairs, the Republicans in the
state will have an enviable record to
lay before the voters at the next cleo
ton.
Two years ago, an unfortunate
combination prevented the legisla-
ture from carrying out some of the
party pledges, and this year they
were, accused of making pledges to
get votes, but every one Of them has
been fulfilled as fast as they came to
them. With clean administration
and good material development
through the state in general, the
party will have much to be proud of.

such barriers. President-elect Tfat

BURBANK'S BRAIN WORTH MIL
LIONS.

SAN FRANCISCO, March In
order that his discoveries may be
more generally distributed and in
cidentally, that his work may not be
hampered by the business worries,
the brains and genius ofLuther Bur-
bank, the plant wizard, have been
capitalized for several million dol
lars.
The men who have secured the sole
right to distribute to the world the
plant discoveries of the Santa Rosa
naturalist are Hartland Law and his
brother, Herbert e. Law, two we'll
known millionaires of this city, and
Oscar e. Dinner, a wealthy eastern
capitalist.
There is no limit to the rights
which the men have secured except
one or two small contracts which
Burbank is fulfilling. Working alone
Burbank has not had time to give
the results of all of his experiments

to the public, but now systematic
effort will be made to distribute both
his past and future products to the
world.
X. One of the first things to be I'M
dertaken by the new company will
be the fuller development Of the
spineless cactus, which promises to
transform the desert wastes into
grazing lands for cattle. In this
connection it is announced that Bur-
bank has developed a cactus capable
of producing saccharine matter which
will yield both sugar and alcohol.
Burbank, when asked regarding
the formation of the new company,
made the following statement:
1T is fact that Herbert Law and
his brother and Oscar e. Dinner have
secured the sole rights to the hand
ling of my products, with the excep-
ton of few varieties which already
had been sold. ! am glad to be rid
of the business end. 1t will give me
so much more time for the develop
ment of more fruits and flowers"
The company will be called "The
Luther Burbank's Products, Incor-
porated."
