Field Peas. The Carolina Experiment Sta- during had under competitive test plats of cow peas and beans ten varieties of the former and eight of the latter. The experiment has been the results are published in bulletin No. which is now being mailed in time to benefit farmers who sow these crops in spring. Here it may be said that the pea has upon dry, medium and wet soil given by far the best results, out yielding all others, both in fruit and foliage. This pea is also the latest to mature. For second place the contest is between the black pea and the red ripper, both of which are excellent and medium early. The earliest of all is the speckled or whippoorwill pea. The in Georgia, sometimes called and are in all re- are one and the I same variety. In the bean class, the old yellow variety is the most productive, both in fruit and foliage, but is much later than some of the newer variety. Concerning the popular names of these plants it may be said that the so-called cow pea is not a pea. but a bean and is more properly called Chi- beans. The so-called bean is a true pea. and should be called soy pea. or Japan pea. by whatever lines we call them, plants are among the most valuable crop the southern farmer can grow. Gerald Botanist X.

I would say, however, that analyses of these ashes vary very materially, because in many cases they are more or less burnt and more or with dirt or out- side matters. Exposure to the air may also cause absorption of moisture and decrease of percentage. It is a high grade potash material, containing a large amount of phosphoric as well. I have had an analyses of these when carefully burned, to run as high as to per cent, potash. The average is probably about per cent. How to Deal With the Potato and Cabbage Worms.

The best remedy for potato beetles is Paris green or London purple, both being They are about equally valuable.

If you have a sprayer, mix the in gal- of water and spray it on. In either case repeat tho treatment after ten days to kill the insects hatched after the first treatment. Usually these two treatments will suffice, but repeat if necessary. For cabbage caterpillars, the best before the plants have headed. After that hand pick or use a well prepared kerosene emulsion. A badly prepared emulsion will barn the leaves. It is best to buy t e emulsion ready made. It can be bought in five, ten and forty gallon packages of W. S. Powell Co., more, about as cheap as you can make it. Always dilute the concentrated emulsion before using with nine times its bulk of cold soft water. Apply with a sprayer, and be sure to wet the bodies of the caterpillars, as this substance kills by contact only. Paris green can be bought of almost any druggist at about cents per pound. Culture of Pecans. Would you be so kind as to give me some In- formation in regard to the of pecan nut trees, and at what point I can net the sprouts or trees to plant B. O. G. Thermal City. N. C. Answered by W. F. Massey, Horticulturist, N. C. Experiment Station. Pecan trees, like all other of the family, are rather hard to transplant with uniform success. We would prefer to get good nuts and plant them where the trees are to grow. Almost any southern nurseryman can supply or trees. P. J. Beck- man Son, Augusta, Ga., are nursery- men of high character, and will doubt- less supply you with a good article. We put little confidence in the prospects of great profits from growing en a large scale. It may now pay those well who have bearing trees of the large sorts to sell seed and trees at high prices, but the article is one which tile demand for cannot be largely in- creased, and when the trees now being planted in the south come into bearing, we think the profit problematic. Of course it is desirable for all farmers to have a few pecan trees for ornament and nuts, but we would advise you to rush too largely into the culture. Proper Temperature to Poultry. What temperature should butter churned to attain the beat results Do you consider pare bred poultry, such as Plymouth Rocks and leghorns, more as flesh producers lovers than the common breed of chickens seen around most country G. F. O. N. C. Answered by F. E. Emery, Agriculturist, N. i. temperature at ova n. suits arc obtained vary somewhat, first, with the season, being higher in winter than in summer; second, with the kind of foods given the cows. and. third, in different dairies where difference in handling the cream may affect the churning conditions. In winter, where cows are far advanced in lactation and considerable cotton seed or cotton seed meal is fed, as high as F., or possibly two or three higher may be found desirable. In summer, with fresh cows on good pasture, as close to degrees F. as possible will not be far wrong for the same dairy. Each one must establish its best degree of heat or coolness by actual trials. Too much care cannot be bestowed on the proper of the cream unless you churn more for rich buttermilk than Yea, unless you put a pure Hock cockerel at the head of your flock of common fowls and continue to grade up with another from an outside source when the first is gone. The high grade birds will take on the character- of the pure bred male in to his purity and powers. This plan will be easier for anyone who has common birds than breeding pure fowls, and they will have the advantage of there is oft repeated claim that the graded stock is more pro- than that bred pure.

As a sure renovator of old lands, it is of the very best crops that can be grown. The cow peas have the same property as clovers leguminous plants extracting gen from the atmosphere. This is done through the means of tubercles on the roots which fix the gaseous so that the roots can utilize it. In this way a large amount is retained in the roots, as well as carried to the leaves in organic combination. The plowing under of the whole plant, in- vines after they are ripe. is. of course, better than plowing under only the roots, as there is much fertilizing matter in the vines and leaves. The ideal way would be to take off the vines, cure and feed to cattle, and re- turn to the land in manure. The next best way would be to plow under after ripe, so that the fertilizing value of the whole plant is retained in the soil. The proportionate part of the total value vines is. of course, dependent upon the growth of the and no fixed ratio can be given. bulletin which describes experiments with peas preceding wheat.

W. C. M. N. C. Answered by W. F. Massey, Horticulturist, N. C. Experiment Your peach trees are in the worst place you could put them. In this climate peach trees should never planted on a southern or eastern slope, out always on a northern or western. On the warm sunny slope they are ex- cited too early and the blossoms nearly always The crest and upper part of the north slope of a high ridge are the best places here for peaches. Peaches may do the upper part of your western slope, and apples ought to do well on the lower part. Fire Blight of Apple Tree.

The one point of agreement between them in State politics is opposition to the present election law. What article of faith of either in politics both are to unite upon, is yet to be discovered. Who has not heard the can orators of North Carolina declaim excitedly for a protective tariff and gold. who has not seen the Populist orators of the State foam at the mouth and grow red in the face in arguing for the of all tariff restrictions and for wildcat money The North Carolina Democracy will go forth joyfully to meet them on the issue which they raise as to State politics, the election law; and while we are divided among on some pending questions, all united upon the doctrines of party, while there no differ- among us as to the tariff and none as to currency that we cannot either reconcile or waive- It will be an unequally yoked team and a very funny one.

We have given but a brief equate synopsis of this sermon, and wish everybody in town could have heard it- Mr. Lam- berth has the confidence of every one and his preaching is to do much for those who an fortunate enough to hear him. The has re- to the matter of paying a higher tax Greenville and using the money to make some permanent improvements i a the town. It has always been the policy of this paper to improvements, but those cannot be made with the present low tax levy. As the Board of Councilmen are soon to meet for the purpose of making the levy for another year, we have lately thrown out several suggestions that there should be a of these matters BO that the may learn what is the will of the people. The Councilmen will hardly increase the tax unless there is some general expression of sentiment in favor of it, and the best war to create a sentiment is by full discussion. It would be wise if the people interested would first concentrate upon some specific improvement the streets, tor fully what should be done and then go be- fore the Board asking them to levy a tax that this one improve- may be Every thing cannot be accomplished at once, but if there is a concert of action to secure one thing at the time many needed improvements will be seen coming along in their turn. Now talk the matter, let the Board of Councilmen know the sentiment of people as . Borne Populists cannot stand for the truth to told about their public utterances. The as sault made on this writer the day, subsequent threats, is evidence of the spirit that is rife among them, and that hole to the idea of pursuing their claims the bullet if they can't be by the as some speakers wore charged with asserting in the last campaign. It is a sorry political cause, in- deed, that calls to its advocacy a resort to violence lawlessness. No better evidence could be given that such a cause does not stand upon principle. The assault threats alluded to were both made within the of the Court, then in and to which an application summary punishment could have been successfully made, as it was in contempt of the Court. But we as an editor of a Democratic paper to resort to especially as the punishment that would follow the wife children have suffered more than the real offender. thought had u jug.

Skinner is an effective speaker and very popular with his party. If he can arouse get the vote he will be elected. Tho Republicans on a straight fight carried the district in 1882.

Three years ago we were in Wilson and in speaking of the future of Greenville as a tobacco market a gentleman prominently connected with the tobacco trade of that place remarked that Greenville not amount to much because there was no friendly concerted action on the part of tho citizens and besides Greenville was too far east. A few days were told by re- liable authority that same gentleman was trying to make to come to Greenville. What changes time docs bring. We informed that Messrs. Ola Forbes and E. A. are going to build another tobacco warehouse here during the sum- mer. If we can get four more prize houses now the third ware- house will prove quite an manures. manures for tobacco are all much improved by com- posting ; for the compost heap pulverizes them and puts them in the best condition to afford nourishment to the plants. Coarse bulky, dry, manures are unsuited to tobacco, and on some soils do more harm than good, especially should the growing season prove dry and tho soil be naturally thirsty. COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS. The component elements of fer- for tobacco should be adapted to the wants of the plant, the character of the soil and the class or type to be produced. That is, they should be such as to promote tho growth and de- of that type, and to meet the needs of the soil in sup- thereto what best con tributes to produce the largest product of tho finest quality- elements most needed in tobacco fertilizers are soluble phosphoric acid, nitrogen to this market. under- and potash.

The contract for tho of factory for the American To- Co., at this place, has just been signed. Messrs. S- T. Hooker and C M. Bernard will build the house which is to feet, four high with floors. This building will re order during the season be tween six and seven hundred thousand pounds of tobacco and will be the of giving em- to at least twenty hands more than is now employed. Give two more prize houses of smaller dimensions and with the warehouse already under way Greenville will start upon the nest tobacco year under tho most favorable of any market in the State of North Carolina. For the past three years Greenville has been moving slowly but surely and now her citizens are beginning to realize the advantage the tobacco market has been to the town and in tho future will not be slow to add any new feature that may be needed. Tobacco men keep eye on Greenville. Receipts this week have been good. The cold wave will check receipts until there is an open season for handling. Prices con- good for all desirable class- es, while and scripts are low and neglected. ASHEVILLE- last week were right heavy during tho entire week, but on the night of the 24th the seem- universal cold wave struck us which has cut our breaks down to a great extent. The bulk of our crop, especially the brights, has been but sales will continue till up in Juno. The larger part of our breaks now consist of common stock. Prices remain about the same on all grades. WINSTON- Small sales on the loose market was the rule this week, due to the unfavorable weather. Prices on all grades are firm. The demand for good stock keeps active, tho common grades are selling about as usual. Probably half or a more than half of the crop has been marketed. Tho offerings thus far have shown a comparatively small proportion of good tobacco, no improvement in this re- may be expected for the rest of the season. Much interest is manifested in the condition of the plant beds. The news that has been received from the farmers as yet has not and is not to affect prices. Rich soils rarely produce to- of fine quality and high color, but of body and yield; and the demand in- creases for tobaccos of substance and elasticity. The general practice of North Carolina and Virginia over the old belt is to use far too little fertilizers. It is not up North for planters to ply to pounds per acre, and harvest from 1,200 to pounds per acre product. It is true, however, that cigar tobacco requires heavier fertilizing than bright yellow. Planters in Eastern North Car- are using heavier and with results decidedly beneficial.

You never hear him other Atlanta concerns- Everybody unites in praising tho city. The result is that Atlanta moves steadily and progressively ahead and accomplishes things that no other city in the South seems to be to do. The speaker pointed out the good work that could be done in any city by such a spirit of to its best interests. gave several illustrations of how out- side people had been influenced by talk against local interests.

This doesn't speak very- well for Democrats, for it would seem that they, above all others, should take their county Demo- paper instead of beating off a Republican who it and pays for it. But it is really wonderful how many people sponge on the Land- j mark's subscribers the Land- marks publishers in this way- There hundreds of people Iredell county who are abundant- able to tho but don't take it simply because they can beat some too-indulgent sub- scriber out of tho reading of it- Many of them would take the paper bat for the fact that they get to read it for nothing. We know this to be true, because time and again we have hod men to tell us that they would take the paper but they get to read it every week any way- Now we appeal to our to protect themselves and us from these habitual beats. A subscriber has a perfect right to do what he pleases with his own I t copy of tho paper. It is his prop- and he can give it to whom ho will. But we know that few of them don't want to lend their paper, had many of thorn to tell how nut h they wore harassed and about it; we have actually lost subscribers because a man's neighbors would go to the office get the paper and pass it around the neighborhood until it was worn out before it got to the rightful owner, and sometimes a man patience and deprives himself of the paper order to head off the beats. Now the proper way to do is to shut down on the boats. let those habitual spongers even look at the If you have a neigh- is really too poor to take it, or whose politics are awry and yon think you can got him right by furnishing him the straight gospel; or one who is a Stranger to the paper and may become a patron by reading a few copies of if you choose.
