~ q YOU NOTICE how The Progressive Farm

IL various sections of the Southern country?
Men who have studied the conditions in their

farmers there Dr. Butler knows things in Mis-
sssippi Professor Barrow knows South Caro-
lima Professor Duggar has been long doing eX-
cellent work in Alabama and knows we'll the needs
of her farmers, and has studied the needs OF
her soils. Tennessee furnishes Mr.. Miller.
Mr. French came to the northern part OF
North Carolina with the ideas of the Middle West,
and has had a long experience under Southern
conditions, and has brought his stock-feeding eX-
perence here to find that North Carolina has finer
summer pastures than Ohio Professor Newman
has had extended experience in South Carolina
Arkansas and now in North Carolina. Mr.. Poe
has broad views of the economic questions in the
South and handles pen to beat the crowd His
arraignment of the patent medicine crowd is not
only scathing rebuke to the men who are adj
vertsing these frauds, but is a wonderful piece
of pen work. The religious papers are among
the worst of offenders in this line In recent
issue of one of my own church papers | counted
fully dozen advertisements, not one of which
could have gotten into The Progressive Farmer
and Gazette for any price. And the worst of this
is, that people place special confidence in their
church papers and more easily deceived by
fake ads in them than elsewhere. Some of the
religious papers, | fear, doing more harm
through fake advertising than their reading pages
do good. At a recent church conference held in
my town | wrote note about the ads in our home
missionary paper to the Bishop. He made no
reply, and do not know that my protest had any

Some Bad Things in the West.

= EXT WEEK, | have said / will be at
~ Cleveland, Ohio and thence west as far
\ st. Louis. and. like Mr.. Poe, | hope to
some things to write about But | have
things in the West that would not have peo-
pie to copy. / have vast fields from
which the corn snapped and the stalks left
and cattle running in the fields all winter to eat
the dead stover and puddle the wet soil and
make it work hard the next spring. | have seen
stored there in open ra-pens and getting
damaged, and then have seen Southern farmers
buying that damaged half-rotten corn, when they
should be growing better. l have seen there land
formerly rich. cultivated in till it makes
small crops like the fields of the South that are
worked in cotton every year.
| went to southern Illinois years ago to
lecture at farmers institute and the topic as
signed me was. How to Restore Worn-out
Land and that right in section formerly
known as Egypt" from its great productiveness
| remarked to farmer on the train that the
corn did not look any better than in the South
He replied 1--WE have a good crop this year
Our best land will make 40 bushels acre" /
said that was great shakes. ut is for south
ern Illinois," he said. "for last year we did not
make any"
Bad farming is not confined to the South and
bad farming has the same effect in the West as in
the South. 1t makes land poor. The same kind
of farming that has made the hill lands of south
ern Illinois poor. is what has made our Southern
lands poor.
In the dairy State of Wisconsin, where Mr.
Poe went, they are, doubtless, doing better farm
ing than in the central Corn Belt The black
prairie lands of Illinois will stand bad treatment
longer than the clay hills of southern Illinois but
no land will perpetually remain rich if not we'll
farmed.
When in the SOS was running railway lines
on the Grand Divide in Missouri they laughed at
the idea that their prairie lands would ever need
nlanure Now they have laws regulating the sale
OF commercial fertilizers, just as we have and
they nave to use them, and now instead of putting
the stables over stream to have the manure

The Tax of Bad Roads

~ NE OF THE HEAVIEST taxes farmers pay In
many sections is the tax imposed by bad
~ roads In the loss of time. the wear and
tear OF vehicles and the breaking down of horses
Add to this the loss In value of real estate
bordering on bad roads. as shown by the mme.
date rise in value OF real estate when good roads
are made In any district.
The Atlanta Constitution cites the case OF
farmer in Georgia who refused TO contribute a
strip off his farm for a good road because he did
not believe In good roads principle. But the
road was made all the same. and that farmer
was offered ten dollars mn acre more for his 800
acres than he had asked before the road was
built. Queer sort of principles. his
Wherever a good road is built there Is usually
no more kicking, but people of the road soon
want one In their neighborhood. so that one well
built road is the means for getting more. as has
been the case in Mecklcnburg County North
Carolina. where good roads the rule rather
than the exception. and the people arc making
more of them all the time.
There is no better investment farmer can
make than a liberal tax for a arst-ciass road.

Notes and Comments.

YyHE PRICE of crimson clover seed will be out
of sight this year. Through the chief region
- for seed growing, the Delaware-Maryland
Peninsula it has rained continuously for five days
and nights and is still showery. The clover mown
and left to cure for threshing is ruined and the
seed sprouting, and the bulk of the crimson clover
seed sold this fall must be imported Similar
conditions made the seed high last fall, but it is
much worse this season.
GET RID OF THE "OLD FIELDS."-Like Mr.
French | am often panied to see the burning OF
vegetable matter on the Southern farms. A
Northern who has bought land in eastern
North Carolina, to me what to do with
broomsedge. as he noticed that the farmers
around him are in the habit OF burning II off
every spring, and he does not think that right.
OF course it is not. Even broomsedge WIFI make
fair hay if cut young, but on land that be
cultivated there should be better forage pas
turage than broomsedge. Japan clover will run
ii out and make fine pasture, especially on moist
land. / have sown Japan clover seed on a rocky
hillside that could not be plowed. and II ran out
the broomsedge in one season. But there should
be no "old fields the farm Take the advice
of Mr.. French and get the sedge field into a good
rotation and If it is too steep for that get Japan
clover on it for pasture. There is no better pas
ture plant for summer.
WHAT COWPEA HAY Is WORTH.-A ton OF
cowpea hay has fertilizer value of about Sl2
and is equal to 900 pounds of wheat bran for
feeding purposes: but If we estimate its feeding
value at IS per ton, then when cowpea hay Is fed
and the manure saved with reasonable care we
get total value from one ton follows:
Manurial value ............... $500
Feed value ............... 500
iotal .xlI.Un
These values are all son hi. and Within .ha
