the second growth is plowed under
the next season, it is altogether
possible to distribute the ingredients
as they were before, or even one-
thousandth part this distribution.
It is very likely also that some of
that most valuable ingredient,
yen will be lost from
the second growth on standing
through the winter. Ex men
are going on in the laboratory
of the North Carolina Agricultural
Experiment Station to ascertain the
exact quantity Of minerals thus
allowed to go to by this per-
practice.
After the plant is cut for caring
the the roots should be plowed
up to effectually stop any further
growth, or else the sprouts should be
cut time to time to prevent
any perceptible growth. The former
is most advisable. Unless this is
done it is sale to say that many
thousands of dollars are yearly
thrown away in our StaVe. Often-
times a large percentage of the value
of a crop is lost by not observing the
loss attendant upon the making
the crop. It is so in this case. If
it is too late to take action about
this matter this year, we can have
all the more time to consider it, and
prevent such a loss the coming year.

The day is not far distant when
the central belt of North Carolina
will be the greatest peach growing
section of the Atlantic coast. So far
we have no yellows in Virginia or
North Carolina. This disease is
fast the orchards of Dela-
ware and Maryland, and the peach
supply must soon come from else-
whew. While the whole middle
section of North Carolina will
produce peaches to perfection I am
inclined to think that the high
rolling sandy pine land between the
and Cape Fear Rivers,
through which the Raleigh Augusta
Railroad runs, is destined to be the

should never plant a peach orchard
in a low bottom or on the east or

otherwise the trees will bloom too
soon and be caught by frosts.

Mr. Dixon said North
is one of the greatest States of
the Union. The sons of the soil are
the best people the sun ever
shined upon. My father is a far-
mer. He preaches because he is
called and farms for a living.
This is the way he used to do.
He don't live by farming now.
He has to sell a part of his land
every year and by this means he
manages to The farmer gets

gets about The average
value of land in North Carolina is
per acre. The depressed state
of affairs produced the
Alliance. The whole country is
suffering. New England and the
great West join hands and hearts
with the South in bidding the Al-
a triumphant success. I
wish to speak to yon to-day on its
moral import. The speaker ably
and feelingly discussed the follow
One cause of the hard times
is false political economy. The
farmer has to sell in the lowest
market and buy in the highest.
His crop made in ten months
must be sold in two and often in
less than days. The Alliance
aims to correct this false
my.
Class legislation has serious
operated against the sons
the soil. See the farmers leaving
j the rural districts and locating in
the towns and cities. They feel
that they can live cheaper and en-
joy benefits in cities denied them
in towns. There is one family in
New York City worth more than
the whole State of North Carolina.
It is wrong for one class of people
to be so highly favored to the in-
jury of another. George Wash-
was from the farm; the
men who fought, and died for our
independence were from the farm ;
the men who left their homes
and went into the last war were
from the farm. These are the
men struggling under the bottom.

half of the manufactures in the
United States to-day were born
on foreign soil. One eighth of
the tillers of the soil were born
on foreign soil. Don't these men

The Alliance is a benevolent

founded upon Jesus Christ. We
all want money warm grasp

was banished to St. Helena
his friends followed him and re-
to leave him, one of his sol-
remained years guarding

No doubt all of you have exercised
the highest privilege of an American
citizen and done your duty at the
polls.
Naturally your minds will now
turn to other matters importance
to yourselves and those dependent

We propose in this card to ask
your consideration some matters
which we believe of vital importance
to you.
There should be nothing of more
consideration, careful thought, and
vital importance to the business,
professional men, or farmer, than

my money and get the best returns
It is of this question that we ask
your consideration. Now we think
it is a well known fact that ninety-
per cent, of the inhabitants of
this county work and do business for
the recompense they receive for their
labor, or the profit they derive from
business.
We do not wish lo be understood
as claiming to be the one exception.
For we have a long time been trying

this act on the part of the two em-

justifiable, and the wonder is they
