Mr. G. A. Barkley fwho lives
just a few miles from town lost
his home and practically the en

between thehoure of twelve and
one o'clock. It seems that the
rats had made a nest of old paper
between the mantle and chimney
and Mrs. Barkley in cleaning a
room had thrown a bunch of
paper in the fireplace setting a
match thereto. She then went
out into the yard for soma pur
pose and in glancing up a few
minutes afterward noticed the
flames creeping through the roof.
The alarm was given quickly but
it was too late, the flames gained
such a headway that they were
beyond control. The loss was

The Need of Lime in the Soils of
the Piedmont Section,
Lime is one of the greatest
factors in the establishment of a
permanent agriculture in this
part of North Carolina, Lime
in soils means the successful
growth of clovers. By plowing
under clovers, pasturing them,
or feeding the hay to live stock,
returning the " manure to the
land, with the addition of ground
raw phosphate rock, an economi
cal system of farming can be
brought about in this section.
All of the essential elements of
fertility cari be manufactured on
the farm, with the exception of
the lime and phosphorus and
these two elements are the
cheapest of all. Hardly any of
the soils in this section need
potash if that element is liberat
ed by deep plowing, filling the
soil with decaying vegetable
matter resulting from plowing
under the clovers, or the manure
resulting from pasturing or
feeding them. The writer re
gards cowpeas as valuable as a
stare in the right direction on all
warm and depleted soils. But
in the Piedmont section with a
climate and soil well adapted to
the clovers, lacking only in lime
for a most vigorous growth,
is his belief that the
safest and generally the cheapest
Pennsylvania station the experi
ments showed that the burned
lime bad destroyed at the end of
sixteen years 4.7 tons of humus
and had dissipated 375 pounds

Cornfield Peas Bring
Bushel.
Greensboro, Feb. 6. Thehieh
pric e of cornfield peas, or the
cowpea, on the local market is
causing some concern to farmers
who have been in the habit of
using these peas for feed and
land-enriching, purposes. The
trpnornlltr rnnai1crprl rrnn mrn ' M
pea is selling on the loual mar
ket for more than $4.50 a bushel
and a little investigation has
developed the rather startling
conclusion, that this high price

limestone is found, should get
grinding outfits and go to crush
ing the rock for farm use. How
ever, finely crround limestone
rock can now be obtained in
several places in the state at
very reasonable prices, The ex
periments with ground limestone
and burned lime at the Illinois
and Pennsylvania Experiment
Station show plainly that the
ground limestone rock is the
form to use. The ground lime
stone rock tfhen applied at the
rate of about two tons per acre
every two or three years at eyery
experiment Station where tried
gave very much better results
than the burned lime. At the
first year'
billion packages.
j Prom the more remote sections
of the country, postmasters re
port merchants are nreparing to
extend their fields to the rural
districts, through the new sys
tem and farmers are preparing
to send products to cities and
towns upon the opening of the
Spring season. r'
The preliminary appropriation
for the establishment of the
parcel post has been exhausted
and Postmaster General Hitch
cock today asked for an addi
tional appropriation of $750,000,
peas in carload lots from Califor
nia growers, who sell through
San Francisco houses. .
One local wholesale grain and
feed man yesterday received a
carload shipment of the "black
eye" and "pink" species. His
invoice for the lot was $1,468.83
and the freight charges were
$452 28. The rate from San
Francisco to Greensboro on peas
is 66 cents a bushel.
This merchant stated that he
had exhaused every effort to find
a market nearer home, but t'-at
he was unable to get the peas
without ordering from a house
on the other side of the Conti
nent. He stated that few far
mers of this section saved peas
for seed, rather using the vines
for feeding or fertilizing pur
poses. That a vast profit could be
realized in saving the seed and
marketing at as much as $3 a
bushel is admitted even by farm
ers. A city belief is that there
are thousands of acres of land in
the House to amend the law fix
ing the pensions for Confederate
veterans. Asked about the effect
of the bill, Mr. Gaither yesterday
said:
"Under my bill first grade
pensions includes only the needy,
who received a wound which
renders them incompetent to
perform ordinary labor. The
second gra'de includes those who
lost a leg above the knee or an
arm above the elbow, and a'so
the destitute who are totally
incapacitated to perform any
kind of ordinary labor. The
third grade includes those who
lost a leg below the knee or an
arm below the elbow, or haye a
leg or arm utterly useless by
reason of pimanent injary, and
also those who are unable to
perform manual labor in ordinary
vocations. No change in the
fourth grade. A fifth grade is
added which includes all other
soldiers at $12.00, The disquali
fication of ownership of property
does not apply to fifth grade.
'This bill recognizes the
services of practically all Con
federate soldiers and puts the
destitute and totally incapacitat
ed to labor in the higher grades,
in other words favors absolute
need of the veterans." Raleigh
