supplementary Order issued.

RaIeigh.-At the urgent request of
Director General McAdoo, the North
Carolina corporation commission has
issued an order especially prOmulgat-
ing for enforcement in this state the
order just issued from Washington by
the director general materially ad-
vancing the penalties or demurrage
charges for failure to promptly unload
car load freight with a view to re-
lieving in this way much of the car
shortage that handicaps transpOrta-
ton. The order of the commission
calls for rigid enforcement Of the new
demurrage charges when the order be-
comes effective. The call on the state
commission for this supplementary or
der came in a lengthy telegram from
Director General McAdoo in which he
reiterated that the increase Of the pen
alties was imperative to obtain further
relief from freight congestion and lack
Of transportation facilities and com.
mended the hearty spirit of co-opera
ton that he said all the state commits
sioners are extending him in his task
Of directing the railroad business OF
the country. The new demurrage
charges made the first day penalty
after 48 hours free time So instead Of
81; advance the second penalty day
to 81 and then adds 81 per day in adj
dition for each day thereafter.
It having become known that it is
the purpose of Director General Nc
Adoo to appoint director in each
state to have direct supervisor Of
railway lines in the state, under him,
there is interested speculation as to
who will get the place in North Caro-
lima, with general impression that the
place may go to Chairman E. L. Trav-
is, of the corporation commission, If he
will accept the post.

STATES GREAT CORN CROP
Demonstration Farms increase Pro-
duction Per Acre-AVerage YIeio
Shows One HusheI Increase.

Raleigh.-A summary Of records OBJ
tanned from county demonstration
agents and included in the report of
Mr.. C. r. Hudson, state demonstration
agent in his forthcoming report, 1nd1-
Gates an average production OF corn
on demonstration farms Of six bush
els to the acre greater than any pre-
vious year.
North Carolina has produced a great
corn crop, and the state food admins
traitor has issued statement in which
it is held that North Carolina will
have corn and corn meal for exprot.
A summary of the records obtained
from county agents shows that the
average yield per acre on the demon
straiton fields, consisting of 23,876
acres, was sos bushels per acre. This
is about 6 bushels per. acre greater
than the average yield for any former
year. In addition to the farmers con-
Quoting the demonstrations, $500 9TH
er farmers were enrolled as co-Opera-
tors to receive the literature sent out
through the extension service. These
farmers on 200 acres, made an aver
age yield of 1878 bushels per acre,
which is an increase Of about SO per
cent over the farmers not cooperating
with the extension service. The aver
age yield of corn for the state is es-
timated at 20.2 bushels.
Not only ls there an evidence OF a
yield OF corn in the state per acre
greater than ever before, but after war
was declared by the United States the
demonstration force at once went to
work strenuOusly to increase the acre
age in corn. Farmers who had already
made plans for their acreage of corn
were induced to add few more acres
in a large percentage Of cases. While
probably no one made very great In
crease in%acreage, yet the total in.
crease in the state will add very ma
terially to the total increase Of the
corn crop.
OF the farmers enlisted in demon
stration work, $500 of them were in
duced to plant pure or well selected
seed corn ON their demonstration
fields, while 1881 selected seed corn
for next years planting to the amount
of 31,4OO bushels. The farmer who
selected his corn will, of course, not
plant all of it, but it will be worth
a great deal to the state when sold
to other farmers for planting purposes.

Winter Care of Bush Fruit.

Bush fruits in the city gardens and
| on the farm should be pruned during
| the fall or winter In order to increase
the yield of berries next summer. The
period between the falling of the
leaves In autumn and the starting Of
growth in spring is the season in
which currants and goOSeberries
should be pruned. The ideal currant
bush, at which the primer should aim
has six to eight main branches, while
the gOoSeberry has eight to twelve.
None of these branches should be over
three years old. Two or three of the
main branches of the currant and
three to four main brancl as Of the
gOOseberry should be removed each
season. the older branches being cut
out and like number of the most Wig
OrOuS canes Of the current seasons
growth left to take their place. ALL
other young canes and all canes bent
to or near the ground should also be
removed. If this system is followed
each year after the bushes reach the
age Of three years, pruning will be
relatively simple and the plantation
kept in good condition.
Usually no pruning is given either
raspberry or blackberry bushes, but
in the North where low temperatures
and drying winds prevail. the canes,
or branches, should be bent over, care
being taken not to break them, and
covered with soil to depth of two or
three inches. This should be done as
late as possible, yet before the ground
becomes frozen. Uncover the canes
in the spring before the buds start. All
the weaker canes, as well as stronger
ones not needed for the crop the fol-
lowing season, should be removed be-
fore the others are covered. In the
spring If the canes of the raspberry are
long and are not to be supported by
stakes or a trel1is, the ends should be
cut back. If cut back to q height Of
three feet. the canes should be able to
support their crop, keeping the berries
out Of the dirt. Sometimes when the
canes are slender it will be necessary
to cut them back to two and One-half
feet In length. The side branches of
the blackberries are usually pruned
back In early spring.
