WINTER COVER CROPS. p Every farmer owes it to him self, to his family and to poster ity, to take the beat care of his l%nd thai he possibly can; to maintain its fertility and to keep it from washing away^ Investigators, Whether scien tists or practical farmers, have found that winter cover crops of any kind prevent land, in a large measure, from washing, and when turned nnderthe following sprifig make it more productive than if no crop had grown on it. An experiment covering a num ber of years, in one of ihe North Western States, showed that more * plant food food was lost from the land during the months when no crops were grown on it than was Uken off in the regular summer crops. If this was true in that State where they have long and cold winters when leaching is im possible for weeks at a time, how vjnuch more would it be in North Carolina with her open winters when plant food can be leached from our soils almost any week during our winter months. A ton of green rye contains, ac cording to good authorities, about 6.6 pounds nitrogen, 3 pounds phosphoric acid, and 14.6 pounds potash. A ton of green wheat contains 10.8 pounds nitrogen, 3 pounds phosphoric acid, and 14 pounds potash. Green oats con tain just a ltttle less plant food than does green wheat. A ton of green crimson clover contains 8.6 pounds nitrogen, 2.6 phosphoric acid, and 9.8 pounds potash. Red clover, Bur clover and the vetches contain more plant food in their green state than crimson clover does. The wheat and rye m«n tloned above was probably grown on fertile laud 'which explains their high percentage of nltrogpn, for it is an established fact that crops grown on rich land contain ;• more than when grown on poor land. For that reason grain grown on rich land his a • higher feeding value than thai grown On poor land. It may be fwell for as to remember this when growing grain for our own own feeding purposes, p Rye, wheat and oats take nitro- gen from the soil and store it in . " the plant, thus saviug much of > - this costly element of plant food ■ '* 6 would otherwise be leached land by our winter rains, or bunches and thslr f cs and leaves retard the flow oi water and act as brakes which will prevent to a large degree the [ washing of our rolling lands. The clovers save the land from wash- ing in the same way and in ad dition to this are beneficial by being able to take nitrogen from the air through the agoncy of baeteria which adds to the fertili k ty of tho soil. But to grow these k latter crops successfully the soil R must oontain the bacteria peculiar ■J to the particular crop grown. H It has been the experience of T many of onr farmers that any , crop grown after a wlnter-oover crop, when turned under at the proper time in the spring, and K" -. disked well before and after turn- I ing, will produce a groat dsal || moro, often as muoh as 00 par lent, more, than if no winter over crop had been grown. Ths sod for a oover .crop will coat om one to -five dollars an aore tofdlng to kind and quantity of *1 ussd. This should save to i soil and aid to the next year's Sp more than twioe the cost of Sow at the rate of 10to»O | pounds crimson clover sesd per I aero and oover lightly with har raw or cultivator.

Milner, one of the most scholarly Alabamians of his day, expected the increase of white population and a decrease of ne gro population to wipe out the so called race problem within 30 years, the Montgomery Adver tiser finds cause for astonishment in the vital statistics of the recent census on racial lines. While the negro population still increases, the increase is smaller every year, and removal to Northern States makes the increase in the South smaller than elsewhere. Twenty years ago, aa the Ad vertiser notes, there were f6nr Southern States which contained more negroes than whites, as against only two—South(Carolina and Mississippi—today. Louisiana and Florida have become white. "Both Louisiana and Florida," remarks our contemporary, "are enterprising States in which en ergetic and successful efforts have been made to secure white immigrants from other States, In 1890 Florida had a large excess of negroes over whites. In 1900 the white population had so increased that it was 67,000 in excess of the negro population. In 1010 its ex cess of white amounted to 140,000. Louisiana, which also had a ne gro majority in population in 1890, showed an excess of whites of 67,000 in 1000, which has been increased to 150,000 or 160,000 by the count which has just been completed. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says the negro population in Louisiana has been decreased by the ravages of the boll weevil, and the inabili ty of the negroes to meet new agricultural conditions. The Times-Democrat thinks that when the census figures relating to Mississippi are made public there will be shown a large proportion ate increase of the white popula tion of Mississippi and a probable decrease of the negro population which showed the large excess of 260,000 in 1900."

The War Department is strag gling to make th 6 American caval ry soldier a perfect, fearless, daah ing rider—like his forefather* in the days of the Indian campaigns: With that, end in view, Captains Conrad S. Babcock and Henry R. Richmond and Lieut. Adna R. Chaffee, all of the cavalry, are abont to leave this country for a year's course of instruction in equitation in the French school at Samar. The advance of civilisation across the continent and the ad vent of the bicycle and automo bile are the causes of deterioriz ing in American horsemanship, in the opinion of army officers. In the early days, they point out, when the West and great frontiers of this country were only a wilderness, the United States possessed numberless natural riders whose daily routine of duty waa performed on horseback. With the flow of population to the West and the horse losing its hold as a means of locomotion, all this has been changed, they con tend, aud the perfect rider today is the exception and not the rule. Upon the return of the officers from France they will be appoint ed instructors in the American mounted service schools. By this process the War Department ex pects to gain all the advantages of the well equipped foreign in stitutions and thus develop the American schools of equitation.

Speaking aa the son of a Con federate soldier, the writer is sor ry to see Senator John Sharpe Williams—who is indeed feat winning recognition as about the the strongest man in either branch of Congress—falling into the er ror of asking a Federal appropri ation for a Confederate monu ment. We are sorry, too, to hear any talk of asking Federal pen sions for Confederate soldiers. It haa been fifty years now since Sumpter, and through all thia time the South has kept its self respect, asking no favors and wishing none. Let it be to the end. There is a fine paeeage in Brown's "Lower South in Ameri can History" in praise of the Southerners who, "masters so long, were maaterful to the last"; who never fell a-whimpering in the hour of defeat, hat were of the mettle of the man who "goes on with the atrong haud, and if he fights his fight to a finish, can turn his fSce to the wall and die and give no sign." We should cherish no bitterness, but we should keep our pride. It would be a tragic and pitiful anti-elimax to one of the world's mightiest dramas, It the South, after its proud reoord of a full half-cen tury, should now come a-whining for a few miserable crumbs from a pension table foul with graft and fraud. If Federal pensions are ever to be given the few re maining Confederates, or Federal money used for Confederate monuments, let the North first make the offer. But for the sake of all our dead and all our paat, let not the South humble itself at this late day by begging Federal help to take care of the few re maining heroee who once fonght our battles.

Wm. B. Davie, one of our greatest men. While they have him still upon the stage we want to say that through him North Carolina won the honor of saving the constitu tion. The fight between the large States and the small ones in the convention of 1787 had waged fu riously. The small States were opposed to having Senators as WQH as Representatives chosen according to the population., fhey threatened to disrupt the conten tion by withdrawing if this was passed. It was then that Davie, representing one of the big States, declared he would stand for the same substantial representation from all the States. The whole North Carolina delegation stood with him—Richard Dob b s Spaight, Wm. Blount, Alexander Martin and Hugh Williamson. When the vote came np on the "Connecticut compromise," Mas sachusetts, by an equal division of her delegation, stood neutral. Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina and Florida voted no. Against that four Connecticut, New Jersey, Deleware, Maryland and North Carolina voted aye. • Hon. Hannis Taylor, the great constitutional lawyer, calls this "the most brilliant and yet, also, the most unfamiliar page in the history of North Carolina"; and he adds: "If it had not been for thia Commonwealth's great act of con science in thus taking sides, against her own interest, in favor of thu Union, Washington's ad ministration might never have occurred; John Marshall might never have presided over the Su preme Court of the United States; William Gaston might never have sat in the Congress at Washing ton. How pitiful a contribution to civilization was the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava when we compare It with the act of North Carolina's immortal phalanx, which lockejl its shield and saved the constitution at Philadelphia." To Replace Foreigners in Consular Service. Washington Dlip»toh. The question of supplanting with American citizens the great number of foreigners who hold positions in the consular service of the United States will be taken up with Congress at the next ses sion, when the State Department will ask for an additional number of consular assistants to replace men owing allegiance to other countries.
