Deep Flowing and Soil Improvement

w FAD THAT editorial deep blowing in the
issue of October /. The fall is the time to
Il v deepen the soil 1t is the best time for sub
soiling the hin lands that inclined to wash. for
the subsoil is now in condition to crumble
while in spring it is pasty when the surface is In
good blowing state.
The red hills need the deepest breaking. for
these red lands resulting from the decomposition
in place of the granite rocks are all soil down to
the fast rock and only need aarating and frosting
to make good soil deep as you can drive sub
soiler after a turning pillow that runs eight inches
deep
And nothing you can do will tend more TO
check the washing than a deep bed OF loose soil
the rains to settle in especially II you prac-
tice good rotation and have vegetable matter TO
turn under every time 1t is broken for hoed
crop. | believe in deep fall blowing and sub
soiling OF the hills but do not believe In letting
them lie bare all winter. Sow rye on them and
turn this under in the spring, and 1t will we'll
for the extra work
But, as the Editor says. II you have level and
sandy land let the subsoer alone. On deep.
sandy soil we want TO make sort OF hard-pan
right below the turning pillow furrow. and that
should not be over six inches deep.
On level clay soils that need underdrainage sub

back to its former state But with deep under

instance can be wonderfully improved by deep
breaking and subsong. Deep blowing is only
one item in good farming. and as the Editor says.

then practiced. even the deep-plowed land will
run down. 1t is but the beginning point for good
farming in general.

One peanut grower said that he topped and
stripped corn because he always had peas among
1t that he wanted the hogs to gather and he had
10 gather the corn out OF the field as in shocks
the hogs would tear them down. Another peanut
grower said that he cuts and shocks his corn and
turns the hogs into the field to eat the peas and
they do not disturb the corn so long as there are
plenty OF peas, and when they have cleaned up
the peas he wants them the peanut fields to
CLEAN them.

smiles to the faces of the spectators at
the hearing.
An instructive feature of the lnves-
tigation was found in the testimony of
Henry o. Havemeyer, who was then
and still is president of the sugar
trust. Mr. Havemeyer was asked
about the relation of his trust to the
great political parties, and their state
campaign funds. Did it contribute to
the funds of both parties? Yes,
said Mr.. Havemeyer, I'VE always do
that. In the state of New York,
where the Democratic majority is be-
tween 10000 and $4,000, We throw it
(the trusts *contribution) their way.
In the state of Massachusetts, where
the Republican party is dominant, they
probably have the call. Wherever
there is dominant party, wherever the
majority is very large, that is the
party that gets the contribution, be-
cause that is the party which controls
local matters"
The Importance of this admission
was obvious, when one remembers
that what Mr. Havemeyer vaguely al
luded to as local matters" meant the
election of senators and representa-
tives to congress, and of judges to the
state judiciary.

Acting in such a suspicious manner
that he attracted the attention of
Night 'Watchman Way and Officer
Carlson, led to the arrest OF Robert
Jackson, colored, at S:45 o'clock last

Gilmore, to whom he had been turned

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Whisperings
of discomfort over the failure of the
government to bring to the bar of JUS

break out on the floor of the house at
any moment in the form of a demand
for congressional probe of the entire

There are now slumbering in the
committee on rules, of which Speaker
Cannon Is chairman, two resolutions
providing for an investigation by con-
gress of not only the underweighing
frauds of the sugar t Ist, but of a long
list of crimes that have been from

have abandoned hope that the govern

the quiet talk that is going on in
Washington over the probability of a
congressional investigation. the nrobe

the senate in 1894. The Investigation
OF 1894 was only half-heartedIy pur-

save in one or two instances. Senator
Quay of Pennsylvania characteristical-

with the statements of Mr.. Lackaye
is that they are unjust and untrue.
1t has been the cowardly custom OF
man since the beginning to accuse
poor, delicate and blessed woman OF
being sponsor for his every sin and
weakness. It is the easiest way out
of bad situation to hide behind the
skirts of woman. 1t shows the fine
expediency Of man, though such con-
duct robs him of a bouquet that other
wise would be his.
Who packs the peanut galleries and
the parquet circle when the more
risque and suggestive shows come to
town? Morbid man of course, with a
good sprinkling of good women in the
audience.
But why argue such point whose
very logic is so apparent? We must
universally concede to woman the
credit for our present standard OF
morality and civilization. Why then
charge her with dragging us men from
our PEDESTAL?
Is it reasonable that she would de-
liberately about face and undo now
that which it has taken her six thou
sand years to do?

Tallahassee, Feb. 28.-The Florida
state educational campaign is sus-
pended until Monday, March 7th, when
it will be re-opened with renewed
vigor at Arran and CrawfordVille, in
Wakulla county.
| Of the 45 counties of Florida. all
have been visited by the distinguished
educators and public men engaged in
the work of the campaign, except Wa
kulla and Levy. These two counties
will be canvassed during March and
| April, and the work will be further
carried on until June. in an interview
| today Hon. w. NJ. Holloway, state
superintendent of public instruction,
said:
Results far exceeding our expecta-
tons have attended these educational
| rallies. Nowhere have we met with
| Indifference and in many places our
reception has been enthusiastic High
schools have been established, new
buildings erected, and the public
awakened to a higher realization of
their duty toward the young people
and the children of the state.
THE women have taken hold nobly
and are carrying on the work begun
| by us in a systematic and highly sue
cessful manner. Through the women's
| association libraries are being esta b.
| hshed, school houses built and school
grounds improved and beautifed In
| Fort Myers the woman's association
raised $12,50000 by private subscrip-
ton to be used in the erection of a
| high school building, which sum was
increased to S25,000.00 by an equal
amount appropriated by the county
| board of public instruction.
| THE campaign has cost the state
comparatively little, as large amounts
have been donated from time to time
for the furtherance of the work, and
there is still on hand funds amply
sufficient to maintain the campaign
indefinitely"

The North
On General Lee.

Such comment as the following from
the Portland, (Ore.) Journal is refresh
ing to southern people, though per-
haps not very gratifying to the Hey
burns and Forakers wherever they
exist:
Virginia has other men to whom she
could pay tribute by giving them
names in her early history that are
Respondent with civic and military
glory. But Lee was the brightest star
in a galaxy of brilliant men who join
ed the Confederacy. 1t Is the gentlest
name in the sunny south and the one
that touches the tenderest strings in
the southern heart. He was one OF
the most brilliant of all the splendid
array of military leaders the great
conflict produced. With ragged, starv-
ed and Harmed men he held his own
for months and years against the over
whelming numbers and splendid armies
of the Union. In polish and purity, in
dignity and mental attainment, he rose
to the stature Of full-orbed manhood.
His dignified life after the close of the
war was the climax of his greatness.
The war is over and the bitterness
gone. The soldiers of the two Sec
tions have since mingled their blood
on martial fields. The traditions OF
the old south are tender memory, a
memory that is still precious to the
old southerners. Theirs was a lost
cause that they have surrendered
without bitterness, that they have
yielded up without resentment. Grant
gave back Lees proffered sword at APP
pomattox and mustered the southern
officers out with the side arms. 1t
was a chivalrous and beautiful incl
dent, inspired by generous spirit in
a brave conqueror. 1t had a touching
but tremendous significance, not only
to the beaten general and his men, but
to the millions in the south who went
down to defeat with them. Even more
beautiful now is the placing of Lees
statue in the Hall of Fame. To place
1t there unchallenged and unresented
as tribute to the old south would be
accumulation OF the chivalry of Grant
at Appomattox.
Some time ago the New Haven
(Conn.) Register gained the admira.
ton Of the entire south by its gen.
erous appeal to it's northern brethren
to forget the past and accept with the
proper spirit the placing Of JEFFERSON
Davis's statue in the Hall of Fame.
The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
has been equally as generous as have
scores OF other reputable journals
north of Mason and Dixon's line.
The two sections are today reunited
and the bonds that bind them together
are more secure and lasting than be-
fore the rending OF a half century ago.

Blanes Women
For Evil PLAYS.

The following has been sent out
from Milwaukee for the public to chew
on:
That the women of America, with
their morbid desires to see suggestive
plays, have been in a large measure
responsible for the degeneration for
the American stage and the driving of
the assertion of Wilton Lackaye in an
address before the Drama League OF
Wisconsin today.
The stage Is in a precarious con.
ditfon at the present time" said the
actor. The moving picture shows
have robbed us OF our galleries, and
the indecent productions with their
imported ideas have robbed us of our
respectable box attendance. Unless
people OF high standing in America
get together to support good, respec.
table productions, something terrible
may happen to the theatre.
"One Of the greatest dangers is the
prrrient play that comes from across
the ocean. There are those who think
they cannot be cosmopolitan unless
they see this class of play.
"a Boston woman told me the other
day that nothing could detract from
the drawing power of a Maude Adams
play, and yet in Boston Maude Adams
played at half filled houses the last
time she was there, while that I'm.
speakable play, THE Girl from Rec
tors, drew capacity houses and three
extra matinees had to be given to &C
commodate the women of Boston.
In America the women decide what
plays they will go to and it is said
as women decide so a play succeeds
or fails. Women have decided thev
will see such plays as the Easiest
Way, The Queen of the Moulin
Rouge and The Girl from Rector's.' :"
The principal thing we find wrong
