It uaed to be the case that a farmer ' laid by oa a certain date of the month regardless of weather or crop condi tions, almost, but of courts that is an absurd practice and is mostly discon tinaed now. Bat this has been an un sually late Seaaon and to get best re sults from crops we must cultivate pro prtionally lata. It has been found by Experiment Statons that it pays to cultivate Cotton until open bolls bo gin to appaar and to cultivate corn until it is well along toward maturity. Of course late cultivation must nac saaarOy ha shallnw or you Will do ai re damage by tearing up roots tan go od, by cultivating. Do not fail to atir again the top aoil of any crop you may have laid by, when the rains let up, rr you yill have a baked surface there and a much reduced crop. If you have not already applied your soda to cotton it should be done early as poe> ible before t takes the plant on an av erage 8 weeks to get all the value of it and 8 weeks from now eotton will be msde.

THE CHINAMAN WILL GET YOUR PEANUT BUSINESS YOU GET HIS 0 H American Farmers are Betas Run Out of a Profitable Business by Foreign Raised Peanuts ?Tariff Needed *' ? ? . *: ? , ? ,? ? -.. ?' "*? " " 1 a The proposition that U up to the ; South (or immediate action is, /'Do j we want to do away with on* of the greatest American (arm products," one that has helped to lift the South ern farmers out of the dutches of poverty and want, caused by the ad rent of the boll-wevil, which has ren dered the raising of cotto n hazardous undertaking? If you do want to preserve this great industry in its swadling clothes to to speak, as it is today, then you ihould exert every endeavor to pro tect this industry against the destroy ing competition of the' Chinese. This can only be done by placing a tariff an imported peanuts that will equal ize the cost of production. The South has sufficient suitable pe nut land to raise every pound of pea* nuts that the United States will re<} uire. It gives the Southern fanner one more profitable crop. It employs thousands of people in the local pea nut shelters and crushing plants, in fact it can be made one of our big gest industries. American labor is protected by the exclusion act which prohibits China men from entering the United States Now -why permit the Chinamen to ship his farm prducts, the result of his labor to our American Markets in competition with American Farm er*? ' It its right to protect the American laborer against the competition of the cheap labor of the Orient, it ia by the uupe analysis, right and proper to protect our American farmers from the compettion of hia crops ralaed at home ami shipped to oar markets. And the American farmer is respon sible for the fact that he ia not pro tected. What to sauce for the gooee is sauce fer the gander. The American Orga nised laborer may be the gooae and la getting all the sauce, bat the farm er who may be the gander, is not get ting a look-in on the sauce. It is going to require organi ration of the American farmer to ir->t-ict the peanut industry snd othjr |uw tries threatened by the unei rif "*-r petition of the Chinese farmer. ?? peanut powers in Hertford County are going to be asked to partifipate in the local organisation of a peanut association, which irill have as Its ma in o&ject the securing - u U riff on imported peanuts and each . ne i: ter ested is requested to see Mr. S.
