and compact, built on these. The
vines dry faster, and the nuts euro
quicker in small stacks in the open
field, but they should either be placed
in punches at the sides Of the plot, or
removed at the earliest possible mo-
ment, SO that the hogs can be turned
in to clean the field. In no case are
large stacks to be risked, they are the
refuge OF the lame and the lazy. and
disaster is sure to come to those who
use this method of saving their
crop. Unless the farmer has help
enough to dig, shake out and stack
at the same time. no digging should
be done in the afternoon. No Un-
stacked tops should be left in the
field over night. The weather IS
usually fine in the fall, but NJ man
can tell what a night may bring forth
at hat s and he who takes
chances here will ooner or later have
a loss.
AS soon as the vines are dry and
the nuts thoroughly cured the nuts
should be picked or the stacks haul

when we heard how much he had
gathered per acre.
There seems to be so much inter-
est manifested i'll this field OF corn
decided to ask Mr.. Cole to tell us how
he prepared the land and how he
managed the crop all the way
through. Here is what he says:
THE land was plowed in December
as deep as possible with a
pillow. In February a light coat Of
Stable was put on broadcast
and plowed in With single pillow.
About the first Of May the rows were
run 5 feet apart and Washington corn
mixture vas sown in the drill at the
rate of 200 pounds to the acre, a
ridge was made and the corn planted
with planter very thick and after
coming up was thinned to 8 inches
in the drill. When the corn was large
enough to begin cultivation it was
sided with turn pillow with nothing
on but the point. On the first day OF
June 1873 guano was sOWn along the
row on top Of the ground at the rate
Of 400 pounds per acre and covered
by siding the corn with StoneWa1 cot
ton plaw with 6 incl sweeps, then it
was double furrowed with boy Dixie
pillow with smallest size wing run as
dec as possible. This deep blowing
was done in order to loosen the land
1lll "a 1 ~ ASASlAA t1Ao -
The middles were then run out with
the cotton pillow with s inch sweeps
by going twice to the row. On the
14th Of June nitrate Of soda at the
rate of $50 pounds to the acre was
applied on the opposite side Of the
row from which the 8-3-3 guanO had
been sown on June LIST. This was
covered by siding with Stonewal1 cot
ton pillow and the middles run out
with same pillow. Peas were soWn at
the rate Of one bushel to the acre at
same time the soda was applied, thus
laying by the crop. The corn was
gathered on October 1st and 2nd it
was found that the 5 acres had pro-
duced 90 u barrels of corn
This is without doubt one Of the
best elf not the very best) crops Of
corn ever grown in Johnston county
and others would do we'll to follow
Mr.. Coles example. Of course no
one would expect to make such a
crop as this with the same manure
and cultivation on a piece Of poor
land. It should be kept in mind that
Mr.. Coles farm is naturally n Of
the best in the county and that he
keeps it in a high state of cultivation
The land Oh which this corn grew
has been in cotton for 3 or 4 years
and he says he has produced on an
average of 2 bales Of cotton per acre
each year. This is the kind of farm
ing that pays, and the sooner we all
learn it the better it will be for us.
One trouble with the most of us is
we try to cultivate too much land and
don't properly prepare or cultivate
any of it.

Select Seed From the Best Plants for
Next Years Planting-Get the Vines
tack as Soon as Cured-SOw the
Land in a Clover crop.
BY HON. THOMAS w. BLOUNT,
Washington Co., n. C.

HdoiiIASlOLi ~, ~. -.
The selection of good seed is a
culture and one generally given alb
~solutely no attention. Seed should
be selected in the field at digging
time, and before the crop is stacked
the best hills should be picked out
and carefully placed in tall, slender
stacks by themselves and picked by
hand, when thoroughly dry. Nothing
will produce peanuts but healthy, Wig
orous plants. Select the hills with
the greatest quantity Of large, we'll
developed nuts. look especially for
those individual plants with most nuts
growing at each joint Of the vine,
three as often as possible. A vine
producing three or more large. we'll
developed pods at each joint would
very materially increase the average
yield. The seed should be thorough
ly dried before freezing eath sets
in, for a peanut hat has been frozen
will not terminate.
Digging should be lone when the
nuts seem to have matured, and his
is an important point which every
peanut grower must settle for him
self. If dug too green, the nuts will
shrlVel and the per cent of saps is
greater. On the other hand, if dig
ging is delayed too long, the best pods
fall from the plants and remain in
the ground, the vines or tops are
liable to be damaged by frost and by
the shedding Of leaves; and you bring
the stacking of the CROP nearer to the
rains and fogs hat usually follow the
first killing frost.
Stacking and Curing the Vines.
The poles upon which the vines are
stacked should be the size Of good
stout fence rails, either split or round
and 3 feet long. These should be
firmly planted in the ground. in holes
18 inches deep. One or two strips 20
inches long should be nailed to the
bottom Of the pole about 8 inches
from the ground and the stack. thin

CARTER
QUALITIES

The browning attraction in the Jul
dietary building this morning was
when George r. Carter went on the
witness stand in the suit of Frank
E. Thompson against the Campbell
Parker estate before Judge Robinson.
Thompson had represented Muriel
(CampbelD Single in suit in the
Supreme Court and when he present
ed his bill for $1,000 was turned down
executors of the estate. He then ask
ed the court to decide on what was
a proper fee.
The testimony given by A. q. NJ.
Robertson was to the effect that $1,000
was not excessive, but G. r. Carter,
appearing as an officer of the Trust
Company, gave as his opinion that
$3.50 was too much. Judge Robinson
decided in favor of Thompson, Civ
ing him $3.50 in addition to $3.50 al
ready received.
The fun came when Carter was put
on the witness stand. He wished to
give a long diseration on what at
torney's fees should be- Since he was
is not a lawyer and his testimony
therefor would be simply his personal
opinion, he was not allowed to do so,
for in legal circles the personal OPP
inion of even an ex-governor on sub
jects in which he is not qualified to
pass, is not considered highly.
Carter attempted to be facetious
while being questioned by Thompson
and struck the wrong man. In res
ponse to a question from the attorney
he asked him if it was not like the
picture of the two lawyers and the
COW Thompson, Indicating himself
and Attorney Anderson replied that
he could see the two lawyers. He
failed to mention the impersonation
OF the bovine but the implication was
so obvious that even Carter was fore
ed to smile.

ject. He is already thinking of pro-
lection.
Strikers in their speeches are talk
ing of maintaining the honor of Japan.
Their leaders are encouraging a false
idea that this strike is of international
importance.
Editor Sheba was getting shaved
yesterday when he heard a Jap say he
wanted to kill him. Sheba politely
confronted the honorable assassin and
invited him to endeavor to proceed.
Apologies which followed show that
the striker had ben led to suppose
Sheba responsible for the strike.
Lightfoot declares he will defend no
one guilty of committing violence
during the strike. He is civil ad-
wiser on matters of law alone in this
respect.
Automobile men are coming dollars
during the strike, being patronized
alike by planters and strikers.
There are but eighty strikers re-
turning to work at Aiea.
The present situation shows about
1000 Japanese working and about 5000
striking on this island.
WHAT JAPAN PAPERS SAY.
The following appears in the Geibe
Shimbun of Hiroshima, Japan, May 2S:
According to the report made to the
government by Consul General Uyeno
stationed at Hawaii, though the Jap
anese laborers have struck upon the
demand for higher wages, the trouble
was brought about through the insti-
cations of certain irresponsible parties
VINO want to take the advantage of Ia
boring men for their own selfish gain
The report says that the laborers are
peaceful and there seems no danger OF
their resorting to violence, and the
employers are also aware of the cir
cumstances that led to the strike, The
employers sympathy is not, therefore
lost so far, and they are inclined tc
adjust the wage-scale to some extent
However, the employers insist Jpn the
laborers severing their connections
with the agitators."
Following is in the Japan times:
i Our Consul General in Honolulu re
ports that the Japanese laborers Il
Hawaii are now on strike, demandin
an increase of wages The agitation
has not been created on their own mi
tiative, but they have been instigate
by some others, who try to get unearn
ed profits out of it, The strikers ar
maintaining order and the employer
are to some extent in sympathy wit
the men. The employers are no
therefore, opposed to some increase {
the wages, but they wish that the Ia
bOrers would sever connection with tn
instigators in return for the acceptanC
of the demand"
