' An old alasc w hieli says, "That j wl::e!i is wtnih do'iip. i wor'h d j i:g well, is true in the preparation j i f hind f.irany crop and especially for a tobacco crop. The land should be put iif the verv !ost condition iHi.-sihle, by lowing, raking and liarrowing ti!l it is thoroughly p'll- j verized.

Make a lit on the siuie with one horse turning, plows, and then with hoes pass -ihrng there li.-ts am cut off pat lulls three feet apart, An excellent plan for dry sea sons is to bed tip the liiul with one hor?e turning plows and lay off io between the bed and put the fer tilizer and manure low in the ground and list as before described. Should there be gool persons at planting time, cuttiuff- off and pat ting hills will be unnecessary if large plants are used. The patting of hills is done to" cause the hills to retain moisture till the plant take root. VI.AXTISG THE CKi! Many planter?, being anxious to plant early, greatly damage their crop by drawing and setting plants that are tootmall and tender. They damage the beds from w hieh they are drawn, and planted dnring the cold rains of latter April and early May, they are an easy prey lo the Ilea bug and grasshopper. And af ter viewing the precarious situation of the little fellows, the planter goes away blaming tlie Almighty because they don't grow. Plant should not le transplanted until thev are as long as a in in hand and with ptalksor bodies as large as an ordinary lead pencil. The proper time, in this Piedmont section, foi planting tutaicco is from the 10th May to the loth of June. The plants phonld be pet into the ground leaving the bud one hslf inch above the top ot the ground for wet seasons, and if it should be drv weather, ana not extremely ory, thev will live, set anv time in May if the plants ar" placed into the ground leaving the top of the bud even with the top of the ground. The 'moisture from the subsoil will keep the bud and f talks aiivc. Wotiden pegs arc used for making the holes in w hich to set the plants, and the dirt is pressed gently to the roots. Yt hen good, tough plants are set there is no trouble in getting a "stand," so there will Ik no min ing hills. cci.TivATiXG tup: enor. Some eight or ten thiys after the plants are set, or a. s.khi as they be gin to take riot into the earth, the ground around them phould 1-e loosened or scratched gently to ad mit the heat from the sun and start the young tobacco to growing more rapidly. Harrows and hoes should be nsvtl iu the first working, and after wards larger plows and hoes may be used. Plowing and hoeing should be repeated every ten da .r-tivo weeks till the tobacco is Inge cnougb Ut top. Ho not put too much led b ihe tobacco or m.ikc the hills too ltig'win hilling I utness it liea wet season. If the land le left as 1-jvcl as possible in the l ist working the tobacco will stiller less from urolith and will not 'lire' at the liottom of the plant. It is a good plan to plow twbacco just after a good rain, when the laud gets dry enough to plow and then put in the hoes, as it is lets liable to be checked in its growth. TOI'i'lNi;. Tobacco should be topped as soon as it is largo enough, ami should not le allowed to go to sve.l or "button out." First pull eH three or four of the baby leaves a: the bottom ot the stalk, and break or I finch out the bud, leaving twelve eaves, it the tobacco be I a nre, but if small, leave ten leaves.

Theetlitor of this paper dislikes to have to beg a progressive people to appreciate HioAews. 1 ossibly it is not deserving appreciation, and possibly it is. At all events it is your home paper and you should endeavor to have it prosper. Now let us reason a little. The Yadkin Valley Xews is an all-horae-print nine, column folio printed on clean white paper and having twenty long columns of pure reading matter per week. It is pub lished in a town of some 2,00 jeo plc and ir. a county of 20,000 inha bitants. And now for the benefit of those who have never seen tit to patronize it let us say : 1st, It is as large and handsome exclusive weekly ncwsjvijer as can bo found in the State. 2nd. It is the largest, Wst circu lated and most representative dem ocratic newspaper in the Eighth Congressional District, 3rd. It is tlie largest home-print newspaper we have ever seen pub lislted in a town the size of Mount Airy. 4th. It is the least ajvj.ireci.ttcd pajer by its own town jwttple in ex istence, takinjr in consideration its claims as atiove. No one dislikes to see the fourth statement, lor it is apt to raise re I ell ion in the hearts of those it hits and sorrow in th writer's breast. - And we do not mean by this writing to say we are not prosjxr ing. Not a bit of it The New s is ever in it. It is pomp forward. and as lonp as the pood country people read it and pay for it there will ihj no mourning badge Worn by our Iraternity. Notwithstanding the fact that prosieritv is ours, we cannot help feeling lonesome when we have to ro awav to nil onr ad vertising columns and to hear kind words. One day last week wc took a trip to inston, and wo heard more of the excellencies of Mount Airv s jMijer in a uav there than we liear in a month atliotne. How ever prosperous we might le wc cannot help having a human heart in our breast. Wo have burned the mid-nipht oil to give our town a paper, and when we see Mount Airy merchants ndvertising in other pajcrs and not even patronizing their own which their jatrons most ly read, when wo meet influential men upon our streets daily who never insomuch as take tne paper, we are forced back on our human nature and cannot helj feeling that all our efforts are in vain. Only the deep love we bear for thissplen did section and a hoje that time may bring a change keeps the heart a'glow. Wc repeat it, we are prospering. By eternal hustling wo have secur ed patronage out of town that gives ns success. However we are ail hu man and when we have twice en larged the News in six months, trebled its circulation and multijled the value of its advertising columns by four we do think that it is time for us to expect some apjreciatton from our cojle. A last statement. One day but week a brother of the trijiod who runs a pajer in a neighboring town spent a while in our ofiiee. In the course of our conversation he re marked: "You have so many far mers trading here it seems like the merchants would pet a lot of sub scribers for the News. The writer replied: "There is only one mer chant in town that has ever brought in a subscrition and he has Landed in one. lie has also secuteu an ad vertisement for me. That is the extent of their work for the jiaper." Our brother replied, "in that res pect 1 beat von. Our merchants tret after every ' patron and keep af ter them until they take my pajer. One of my townsmen went olf on a trip last fall and brought me thirty six new subscriptions back with him. Our merchants know that when a farmer reads my paper his attention is naturally turned toward the town and it secures histrade.' How lonesome that made the wri ter feel we will leave our town eo- ple to imagine. as lie pivinp his town a paper like the News i No, his was a patented sheet and yet his people were apjreciative. In conclusion let us say that with our trebled circulation and improv ed paper we can secure trade for our merchants, and, while it is pos sible for us to tret ah.njj without their advertisements they can al ways lie sure that it is mighty good policy to have their business rcjre sented in their live home papir. . Our final request is, then that you appreciate your ojjotturity. 'I'IGHItOItIIOOI NOTIS. Dr. Jesse II.
