that State is necessarily limited while
in North Carolina it is practically an
open field and it is hardly posi- bic
for us to over-supply the different
markets so long as the berries are
properly distributed. These are facts
that cannot be disputed and are such
facts as our people should think over
seriously and govern themselves &C
coTdingly by in the future.
To those who have not realized their
full anticipations in the strawberry
business of this territory during the
past year or two and are disposed to
cut it out and substitute cotton and
other crops therefor, We would say
look about you and behold the sue
cess made by some of your neighbors
in the growth and production of
straw berries, en- the one hand, and
those ~ cotton and other crops, on
the other, and you will see quite a diff
ference in favor of the red rip ber-
rieS. Do not imagine for a MON ent
that the cotton grower is without his
troubles, for the boil weevil is still
on the march and heading this way.
No, gentlemen, we have the soil,
the climate, the markets, the knOwl-
edge, the experience, the resourc es
and the advantages that a generous
nature has lavishly provided US with,
and as said above, North Carolina
must maintain her supremacy III the
growth and production Of StraWb berrie eS
now and hereafter.

How the Humorist Made a Farm
Paper Interesting During the Regu-

Mark Twain never really edited
farm paper, but he wrote a story, just
the same, telling of ar imaginary ex-
perience along this line.
The editor of the paper was sick
and wanted a vacation. Mark agreed
10 fill his place while he took a rest
and the editor. jumped at the offer
Of course, being a humCrist, the
new editor had to be funny. so he
handed out TO his readers such val
liable miSinformation as this:
Turnips should never be pulled; it
Injuries them. It is much better to
send d boy up and let him shake the

care is necessary in rearing it. It
should not be imported earlier than
June or later than September. In the
winter it should he kept in a warm

berry is q faVorite with the natives Of

prefer it to the gooseberry for the
making of fruit cake, and who like
wise give it tie preference over the
raspberry for feeding COWS, as being
more filling and fully as satjfyin,.
/ The pumpkin is the only escuient Of
the orange family that Will thrive in

or two varieties Of the squash. But
the custom OF planting it in the front
yard with the shrubbery is fast going
out Of vogue, for it IS now generally
conceded that the pumpkin as a shade
tree is a failuTe.''
But just at this time the old edi-
tor came back, and his grief was
great He IS supposed to have talked
to his substitute in the following Ian

TO TIE FARMERS.
The Lee County Agent of the farrs-
ers' demonstration Wa9;, Has Sonit-
Thing to Say About the Application
OF Fertilizer, Planting Peas and slle
Use OF PtOwS.
Sanford Express.

No doubt the heavy rains Of the
past few weeks have leached out a
great part OF the fertilizer applied al
and before planting, making a second
application necessary TO maintain
p4a Mt growth and fruiting throughout
the season. In most cases nitrate Of
soda is all that will be needed with
some potash added on sandy soils. Nj
trate OF soda viii give best results
where most needed. 1t does net pay
to use nitrate Of soda on very rich
soil except on truck crops, but on
doubled by the use of loo pounds
per acre. The farmer should be able
to judge for himself where nitrogen
is needed by the pale color and slow
growth of the crop. Owing to the
lateness Of the present cotton crop
should be made not later than 10Th to
18TH Of July. or when first bloom
appears If applied too late it will
tend to make weed growth at the cx->
pense of fruit
For corn it should be applied when
punching to tassel. About 100 pounds
per acre Will give best results. Nitrate
should be applied on surface while
the soil ia moist from rain or cultiya-
ton. It is very soluble and the dew
of a night viii dissolve it. 1t is al
WAYS more or less lunpy and should
be DulyCr1ZeG ana put tnTouS II S2hu
screen Now don't have any fear that
nitrate Of soda will injure the soil,
for it will not.
The cOwpca is the most valuable hay
and forage plant in the South. IT can
be grown anywhere and covers a
longer season of growth than any
other. Tt furnishes large quantities
of nutritious feed and builds up the
soil BY furnishing nitrogen and nu-
mus The soil should be weu pre-
pared for other crops. ON very poor
soil the pea needs some NITROGEN TO
make much growth Of vine, but on
fairly good soils two parts of phos-
Dhate and one part kainit at the rate
Of 200 to 800 pounds per acre viii be
sufficient. On deep sandy soils equal

WRECK ON SOUTHERN
NARROWLY AVERTED

Columbus, Ca, May 25.-(Special)-
day or two ago Claude Douglas,
Girard, Ala, negro, set out to walk
from Columbus to Atlanta. twenty
four miles out from Columbus he grew
tired and adopted novel scheme TO
get a free ride, piling great heap OF
crossties on the Southern railway
track, 1t being his idea that the en-
gineer would would see the obstruc-
ton and stop the train and he. Douglas
would take advantage of the confusion
and slip on board.
The wreck of a passenger train was
narrowly averted, but when the en-
rineer succeeded in bringing the train
to a halt the negro's nerve failed him
and he ran away. Douglas was cap
tured at Warm Springs, Ca, by Soutn-
ern Railway Detective Buntyn or At
lanta and confessed the deed. Feeling
against the negro was so intense there
that the detective boarded hand car
and brought him man down the road
He was bound over today charged
with attempted, train wrecking.
