Deans FREY'S VERMFUfiE Mil in iwuen Mr. St, ion was here recently, after discussing with the editor of Uiia paper the wonderful development going on and to soon come in the South, we urged him, a native of this county, who ceuld see the Southern trend of the coun try's growth, to not only tell the Southerner readers, very many of whom lifelong friend, of this develofamont, its causes but the duty of th citizens In respect there Co. It Is with pleasure that we chron icle hi compliance and give con tribution No. 5.) (V. The Landowner.) If anybody thinks he can make a great Improvement in cotton produc tion by working in all directions at uce he is mistaken. The motto of bis newspaper is "Be sure you are iSshi; tires, go ahead." Chooee the j apor direction and work steadily a long that line. Every Edgceombe landowner has Jne or more types of the soil describ id la last week's issue. Before he in know how to manage it he must no;- what type he has. He can as 2 :rtain ihis by classifying It from ils own examination. He should then rite to the State Department of VgricuJure', giving them the location af the farm and the physical cotr po rtion of He soil. It would be a mat Cir of small expense to send on to t laigh samples. The Department wil ell him the kind of soil, its pbys ical and chemical .composition and to what production it is adapted. It will ?o further. It will send him literature showing the result of expert ments al ready made with similar soil in Edgecombe county, it will toll him the standard soil for cotton in Edgo cambe couny. From tJiis information ae can readily ascertain the defects aad the unnecessary elements lack ing in his own. In February, 1909, the Department punish ad Bulletin Number 2. Vo'.nait 30.

One hundred of the choicest boils from the beat plants should be selected for maintaining a- permanent plot or experiments and Improvement The seed plot should be made large enough to permit of rotation in crops upon its different parts with cot ton upon some part of it each year while the other parts are planted in cow peas, oats, wheat, clover or al falfa. Cowneas clover and alfalfa fur nish nitrogen and humus to the soil. They are the best legumes known and al3o prevent the fertility of the soil from being washed away.
