SECTION HAND SUES
SANTA FE FOR $1,000

An action for $1,000 damages was filed
in the superior court yesterday by Juan
Rocha against the Santa Fe railroad
for damages the plaintiff alleges he
received while working as section
hand for the defendant on the tracks
between Fifth and Sixth streets.
In his complaint, Rocha states he
was one of a gang employed to lift
steel rails on a flat car, and he de-
clares the foreman gave a signal to
lift the rail too soon. He declares that
only a few of the gang had lifted the
rail at one end because of undue haste
and it struck the car and fell back,
sending him twelve feet, dropping on
his legs and injuring them.

Big Corn Crops at Small Cost.

~O-DAy HAD a letter from another farmer
who is trying to see how much corn he
l. grow on an He has an acre that made
"a bushels of wheat. and was sown to red clover
ON the wheat and last fall he plowed under the
clover with three horses deeply, applied 81 good
loads of good manure and this spring applied 500
pounds of Thomas phosphate, Is per cent grade.
75 mounds of dried blood and 75 pounds of sui
phate of potash and nine more loads OF manure,

apart and eight inches in the rows, and wanted

with the stufing for the corn he is making a splen-

him to SOW 1t after the corn is cut. Now that We
are learning what corn will do IL gorged with
food in the soil and well cultivated, would IL not
be better to go to work in systematic way to
bring up all the on the farms to their best
production in a business-like way?
If we can get from $50 to 200 bushels on a
stuffed acre. is IL not possible TO get every acre on
the farm up to 100 bushels acre through good
rotation of crops and the growing and feeding OF
the best forage? Let make corn. not regard
less of cost, but at the lowest possible cost per

have to hire in the South, and should be encoIr-
aged by fair wages to do their best. The negro
is needed in the South, and he needs the training
he gets at Hampton to make him superior to the
no such training, for at the Institute they are
kept under the strctest military discipline, and
if they do not toe the mark, they do not stay
there long.
And 1 believe it is we'll that they have Northern
men in control, for we Southerners would humor
them far more than the Northern men do, who
exact the best of work and the strictest discipline
just as an army officer would.
The late General Armstrong the founder of the
school, understood the negro better than any
Northern man l ever met and he started out with
the conviction that work under strict discipline
was what the negro needed to make him valuable
He gave the discipline and training that they
formerly got on the old plantations, with little
book learning added. putting into the negro some
of the Northern push and get-up, for never a
plantation overseer worked them more strictly or
jumped an idler more quickly.
And there are over 500 of them there learning

a more earnest class to lecture to, for they are
mainly Southern darkes and seemed anxious to

Home Supplies.

a farmer should certainly have one special money
crop, II does not follow that. whether II IL

him money. OF course, he should grow supplies

farmers have these.
But our Southern tobacco and cotton farmers

Love Your Work.

1T is TRUE. as the Editor says in the issue
for April 2. that love for ones work is the
Il important thing for success Some people
seem surprised to see me wheeling manure into
my garden, and doing all the garden work myself
instead Of hiring darby to do it.
One-half the pleasure in gardening farming
is in the work one does himself. We have far
greater pride in the crops that our own hands
have planted and tended, and should lose most
of the pleasure in my garden If some one else was
doing the work for hire.
When l plant and tend vegetable crop or a
flower bed with my own hands / know that, even
II it is not done right, 1t is done want 1t DONE
and is not skimped by darby while rest in the
shade. Love for the work makes the work a
pleasure, and eating the products of ones own la
Dor makes the food taste better too.
The man who is ashamed to be seen at his work
has no business farming gardening I never
could see less of dignity in DOMINIC overalls and
working with pillow hoe than in wearing smart
clothes and bowling to the women behind a
counter.

A Visit to Hampton Institute.

II WAS ALL LAST week at the Hampton Insti-
tute for the negro race at Hampton, Va. The
u teachers being all Northern men, they wanted
a Southern man to tell their students something
about cotton and tobacco culture So went and
made five lectures to the graduating class in agr-
culture.
Hampton Institute seems to be doing the right
thing for the negro. They work them all day in
the field and shops, and they get all their school
ing at night, that they their way through
by hard work
A few miles away they have another farm Of
600 acres where thirty negroes do all the work,
and get some schooling there at night. On that
farm they have 1875 cows, and the darkies do the
milking and haul the milk to the Soldiers Home
and the Fort. They pay these negroes $40 a
month and charge them for their board and tu-
ition, which abouts takes up the 500
But they training some good farm hands,
for they taught the best methods and use the
most improved machinery, and can not help being
immensely better hands than without the train
ing. In fact, it is frst-class training school for
skilled farm laborers. l was very much pleased
with the earnestness with which they worked.
Others being trained in various trades in the
foundry, machine ships, blacksmith shops and
carpenter shops and it seemed to me that they
have struck the best idea for turning out darkies
that will be better citizens
| urged the graduating class to go back South
and work for wages and save their money till
they could buy land and not go into the hap
hazard cropping with lien the crop. If they
will work on the Southern farms as we'll as I saw
them working at Hampton, these negroes will be

Editorial Page.
The Land of Opportunity.

YsyIIE SOUTH is certainly advancing and the
low-priced lands will in the future be high
Il priced Still it is not always wise for
to get farm into fine condition and then sell it
because he can get more money than he paid for
1t. permanent family home is something worth
working for.
But there is sometimes danger to the farmer
when his land gets valuable. Many years ago,
just after the war. in one of the finest counties
in Maryland, the great imitation of values of all
sorts ran up the value of land there to fancy
prices, and farmers mortgaging their homes
to buy other land at 500 an acre or more. Rid
Ing one day with keen business man, remark
ed that the farmer seemed to be in luck Hard
ly' said he; take the instance of Mr.. Blank. He
has fine farm and is good farmer When his
farm worth $25 he lived very
nomically. Now his land is worth over 500 an
acre, and his family think he is rich, and they
must put all the extravaganza of rich fam
lily. But the farm is making no more than it did,
and he is really getting smaller return on his
investment. He does not want to sell, and is real
ly poorer because of the extra cost of living"
Those lands since the settling down of
monetary affairs selling for $50 or less,
acre, and many people we're ruined by buying land
at inflated prices
But steady and permanent increase in the
value Of real estate that has been selling low
will, Of course. benefit the whole section if farm
ers do not get extravagant. Lands in the South
are certain to increase in value as the wave of
better farming spreads over the country of cotton
and corn. But the permanent increase in value
of real estate must come through the improved
productivity of the soil. When man by good
farming brings his land up to making 100 bushels
of corn and over bale of cotton per acre. that
farm will gain selling price that will make the
owners neighbOr, who makes 10 bushels of corn
per acre. look like 80 cents, as the saying is. His
land may increase in value slightly because of
what his neighbor has DONE but the real way to
make a farm valuable, either for permanent
home of the owner for sale, is to increase it's
productive capacity through good farming, bust
ness-like farming, profitable farming.

DON'T CUT THE ROOTS OF THE CROP

Miller says that farmers should study the pro-
cesses of plant growth in using fertilizers and
would also say in the cultivation OF the crop
When man fully understands that the only part
or the roots OF the corn or cotton plants that
getting food from the soil is the little zone of
fine root hairs near the extreme tips OF the roots
which at laying-by time well across the rows
he will never put pillow in there to tear them off
and deprive the plant Of the food those root hairs
would have gotten for him, but will cultivate the
crop as level and shallow possible to avoid in
Juring the roots. Every big root of the corn or
cotton you cut off deprves the plant Of millions
Of feeding hairs out at the extremity OF that root
And yet, have seen many man coming out OF a
corn row with his pillow almost choked with the
roots he had torn off. and thinking he had done
good work in layng-by that corn with big
ridge, when he had really shortened the crop

Mr. French is right. We can beat the West If
we only farm right. He shows, too, the great
value of the natural pastures we have in
and Bermuda grass. The census has shown that
for years North Carolina has made more hay per
acre than Iowa. and yet Iowa makes hundreds of
tons to North Cardinals one ton, and sells it for
less than half the price hay commands in the
South. Our long season and abundant rainfall
make the difference

Official Knows Nothing of Ru-

Thomas j. O'Brien. United States am

the steamer Manchuria for his post at
Tokyo after a so days leave of absence.
He has been spending most OF the time
in southern California and said last
evening at the st. Francis that he had
heard nothing outside OF public reports
that he was to be succeeded at the post
by former Vice President Fairbanks.
It is said that the federal program
was to transfer O'Brien TO CONSTANT
nople, but OBrien said that he knows
nothing of the change.
There are more Japanese coming
back home than those who are seeking
a residence in America O'Brien said.
Naturally the Japanese are seeking a
ground for their overflow population in
Korea. but there are not many going
into Manchuria. 1t is a<peculiar thing
that a man has to travel to this country
to hear about the possibility of war be-
tween the United States and Japan.
