The announcement thtt Bam Jordan, the Mir
sourl corn man,, will bo at the eoavoatioa f farm
er ia Baleigh Augwrt t7, calls ap a subject thtt It
vital on. Th current issue of th Frofreaalv
Farmer alludes to A cornfield that will aot yield
over four bushel of torn, a fact the editor de
plores. Be is justified. Korth Carolina to cultivat
ing too many acre of torn that de not give A big
enough yield, and too maay teres of tetto tad
ef everything else that to planted ia tbl State.
Tho maa who make four buikela of sort ta th
ter waat to make mere. Ha ia jutt aa eager to
make eight time that much a th man wha make
tho bigger rop. Hi trouble 1 that ha doea aot
kaew wkat is kit failing. Ant every maa who
makes a crop of anything would like' to increase
that crop, but he also doe aot know what stands
ia his way. Maybe Sam Jordan knows why a ma
will get only four bushels of corn on an af la
North Carolina. If be does and will tell it will
be worth the while of any farmer ia the State to
there and hear hjm. Any of aa aaa say .that
ii because land that does aot produce morq thaa
four bushel is jutt naturally poor land and will
not make any more corn, but that ia net the can.
Ther i aot an acre ef land in North Carolina that
somebody cannot compel to yield more thaa four
bushel of corn unlets it is a aelid reek surface
some place on the mountain rid or below the level
that will admit of drainage.
It ia well enough known that aa a State wo ti
tivate too many acre that do aot bring big enough
return. Ferhsp some OT the acre should be
abandoned. Or it may be that they could bo made
to yield a profitable return by proper and Intel
ligent handling. Haw to connect (he owner ef
such land with tho proper method ia what aome
Sam Jordan is wanted to tell. Practical knowl
edge it a great thing, but gout fslk Manet pick
np practical knowledge for .themselve tad by
themselves half aa wall at if they hav some other
practical fellow to help them ge ova the sitsatiea
and hunt out the efiffieultUa. And aay way it ia t
waste pf time to depend on the elow acquisition
of praetieal knowledge when the other fellow has
dug it up and eta pass it-tlong in words. That
far convention promises so well that it ought to
bring out a big crowd from everywhere. North
Carolina to t right progressive farming State, but
there ja a lot of atuff the farmers can learn from
other farmerf nd It ia all of value.

If tbi is to be the case it to a plain declaration
of war, and th country can understand just where
it tnds. Either a presidential aurrender to the
refractory Seaate or a dtt of the treaty. Bur
