Governor Sulzer of New. York

the Assembly yesterday and his
trial set for September 18th. He

WINTER COVER CROPS.
10,000 Fanners Waited to Form a
Cover Crap Cbh.
The Partners' Co-operative Dem
onstration Work la asking for the
namea and addreaaes of all farmers
whom It can induce to Join a
Cover Crop Club. It wanta the
nagiea of farmers who have never
grown a cover crop. There are
no fees or dues attached to the
work. Afl that la aaked in return
for the assistance rendered fa that
'the farmer give a report of bis
crop. In counties where there is
a Demonstration Agent, applica
tion ahould be made to him. In
other counties names ' should be
sent to the State Agent, Raleigh.
Be sure to state the number of
acres you propose to add and ■ the
kind of crop or cropa which you
wiah t'o grow. ' Instructions will
be aent to all who apply for them.
VALUB OP COVER CROPS.
A few of the valuable features
of a cover crop may be named aa
follows:
1. It preventa losa of aoil fertil
ity by waahing. Lands that lie
bare during the winter may lose
more plant ijfood by leaching than
ia used by the crop that grows
during the summer.
2. It furnishes gracing to atock
at a time when food of all kinds
la acarce. It also produces health
and vigor in animals, and keeps
up a good flow of milk In dairy
cows. Any aucceaaful ayatem of
live atock production ia largely
dependent upon winter aa well as
summer grazing.
S. If we ever eatabliah an endu
ring and proaperoua agriculture
in the State we ahall have to get
humus—vegetable or organic mat
ter— into our aoila. Growing a
winter cover crop Is one of the
ways of dping this. All farmed'
landa ahould grow at leaat two
crops a year—a scale crop and a
soil-Improvement crop, whether
this is left on the -land or first
fed to stock and then returned
there. A decline in aoil fertility ia
not always due to a lack of nitro
gen, potash or phosphoric acid. It
ia often due to the abaence of hu
mus.
There are ten or twelve plants
that are suitable for winter grow
ing in North Carolina. One or
more of them is adapted to the
various soil types and sections of
the State. We shall be pleaaed to
enroH all farmers who will help
carry forward thia important
movement.
Cordially yours,

Express Rates Reduced and Reforms
ArJararl
- uraerea.
——l
The Inter-State Commerce Com
mi**ion ha* not-only ordered ex
press rates reduced from 10 to 60
per cent., which will cut down the
revenues of the express people
*J>oitt $26,000,000 a year, but it
has ordered notable reforms In ex- '
press practice*.
The most important change pre- ;
scribed by the order i* by way of
modification of the present gradu
ated scale of parcels rate*. One
hundred pound rates for fliort dis
tances either have been left 'un
changed or but slightly reduced;
for long distances they have
been lowered; for 50 pounds or
less all rates have* been practl
practically reduced; for packages
more than four pounds going more
than 200 miles and less than 2,000
the new express rates are gener
ally lower than the parcels post
rates; for more than 3,000 miles
the rate* are practically the same.
By prescribing a so-called block
system, dividing the United States
into 950 blocks, averaging; 2,500
square miles, 900,000,000 different
rates now published by the ex
press companies will be reduced to
less than 650,000. The Inter-State
Commerce Commission believes
that the system points the way to
a souiution of the existing maze
of freight rates.
The- general impression in offi
cial' quarters is that the express
companies will attempt tp, test by
legal means the constitutionality
of the Commission'* orders.,
A notable feature of the new ex
press rates is how they dovetail
into the parcels post rates in order
to give the shipping public a
cheap rate for the retail package.
iFor the first 150 miles from a
shipping point the new express
rates are far in excess of Uje new
parcels post rates which will be
come effective August 15. For
distances greater than" 150 miles,
the express rates are nearer the
parcels post rate, and as the dis
tance becomes greater the ex
