little less than a revolution to force

Germany half a million miners are
threatening to leave the workings
and perhaps bring about political
climax of far-reaching Importance.
Revolutions are in progress in Pa
raguay and Ecuador. by no means
abnormal developments, yet contrib
uting to the general unrest. In this
country a political campaign unpa-
ralleled in recent years for activity
and earnestness and far-reaching
possibilities has opened. Every day
brings it's fresh development sup
plying a sensation for few hours.
Congress is at work on matters or

of peace and investigating wide va
riety of questions and passing the
usual measures with exceptionally
interesting discussions bearing close

Lawrence, Mass, a strike is in prog

transcending previous troubles OF
the same sort. Negotiations are IN
progress that, failing, may result in
the stoppage Of the hard coal mining

industry and renewal of the condi-
great distress and cost an immense
sum. AS an incident in this turmoil
comes the discovery of the South
Pole, an event in itself of the first
Importance, but, in the whirl of hap

sentences, and during the spring and
summer the death chair at the State

Will Logan, convicted in Arson
County of killing a Swede and SEN
fenced to death, is the first victim
scheduled for the chair. He has not
yet been brought to the penitentiary
and he may have taken an appeal.
John Ross, the Cleveland negro
who confessed to killing Mr.. John
DIXON, will die April 18th. Ross was
sentenced to die last month, but he
was reprieved SO that he could be
USED as witness in case of further
prosecutions in the killing of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dixon,
Brad Bagley, who was convicted
OF killing Chief-of-Police White OF
"lIllamston, lost his appeal to the
supreme Court, and as soon as a
certified copy of this opinion reaches
the Governor he will fix a new date
Ior the execution.

Cultivate shallow. frequent, and late
. is az excellent motto for the corn
growers OF North Carolina.
Rye and crimson clover should be
sowed broadcast In corn and covered
by the last cultivation. This will
serve as a cover crop and green
manuring crop for the corn the fol-
lowing year.
Do not pull fodder or cut tops
from corn when the following crop
is TO be corn also. LIE: both fodder
and tops dry up in the field. In the
/ spring, when the rye and crimson
clover have made a good growth and
are ready to pillow under, the farmer

the rye, and the crimson clover
should be cut into bits. The old
stalks must not be pflowed under
whole to hinder the proper cultiva-
ton of the following crop, but
should be SO reduced that they will
give no trouble by pulling up hills
of corn or catching and dragging in
the cultivator's teeth.
/ The disking should be done when
the crimson clover is coming into
bloom. The rye will likely be head
ing out by this time; but the disking
and blowing should be done with ref
ence to the development of the Grim
son clover.
When the discing has been done
the land should be plowed some
eight or ten inches deep, depending
on previous depths to which the
land has been plowed, and diskeG
once more to break clods and furth
er mix the organic matter with the
soil stratum. The soil should now
be allowed to settle and become
after which the land should be pre-
pared and the corn planted according
to the method outlined for this croI
when following wheat.
We do not recommend the sand
wiching of pea crop between two
corn crops for green manuring pur
poses because, in case the crop is cul
tivated as late as is generally neces
sary, the pea crop would make bu
an Indifferent growth before fros
and we would not only fail to ge
much of a pea crop to pillow unde
but would not be able to put on ou
winter cover crop fror green manur
ing in the spring.
In view of the general practice
however, peas may be sowed in thu
corn at the last working, allowed t.
mature, and cut up with the corr
stalks and plowed under in the fall
after which crop of rye and Grim
, son clover may be sowed as a win
ter cover crop and green manurin,
I crop in the spring. This method i
likely to reduce the yield of corn b,
