For several years the Patron and Gleaner has been urging the farmers to sow small grain We have been glad to note that the acreage in this valuable crop ncreases each year. This year he small grain crop was almost a failure in this section; but that s no reason the farmers sl ould abandon the idea of raising home supplies. Now is the time to begin prep arations for next year's crop of small grain. The following arti cle, which appeared in the Pro gressive Farmer of August 1 contains vaiuable suggestions: Wheat, oats, rye and barlov are usually called small grain Thov all belong to the grass familv They constitute the chief article of food for the human familv as wftll as the domestic animals Wheat and rye are sources of bread, and barlev is useful in many wavs. Oats furnish thp best grain food for horses, as well as some vorv nourishing dishes for man. In this couritrr, wheat stands easily at the head of bread stuffs Tndiay corn being next in rank fn this article wc? shall sppak of wheat mainly, for as a rule the same treatment will hold srood for the others There is no good reason whv the Southern farm ers should buv any of the small grain or their products. It is much more economical to grow them. We lay it down as a safp farm maxim, "That it is not good business for a farmer to buv what his soil will produce." There are some exceptionsjgrow- ingout of the farmer's capacity If he does not know how to grow any particular crop, he rnd bet ter pay the penalty of his ignor ance by hiring somebody who does know to grow tht particu lar crop for him. But we can crown wheat almost anywhere. and we should do so. HOW TO PREPARE FOR IT. We say emphatically. break the soil deep, and the subsoil ton, if it is hard and d rv. - Wheat roots will"' grow four 7 and a half feet down into the earth, if given a chance to do so Thus vou see vou furnish so much more feed ing room for the p'ants by plow ing deep. Soil broken 12 inches furnishes about ten times the, feeding space it does when bro ken onlv four. You ask how this is done. Just this way: When you plow only four inches, there is a hard- laver of earth, called hard-pan, which practically pre vents the roots from growing through and limits them to four inches. But when the plow breaks twelve inches, it gets be low this "hard -pan. and permits the roots to reach the porous earth below, and go on down a deeply as they wish to go. As we have stated above, in such cases they will grow about fou r feet or forty eight inches. Four divides into forty eight twelv times. Thus we see the impor tance of deep breaking. But there is another great gain Plar ts arr largely water, and nnnotgrow without yat?r Tin; deep preparation euables the roots toQ reach' the earth water, almost always, abundant a few fee' below. The four inch pre para tion does not do this- Hence, every littledrouth injures the shallow plowing, but not the deer soil. Thus we have great gan. both in the food and water sup ply by deep preparation.. CLOVER AND PEAS- But the mechanical and chemi eal condition of the soil, for grow ing the small grain can be g rem ly improved by --having grown a cro ) of p-a vines or clove r befr he small -grain. . Either of tl'Ves; crops ga:H uitrogtvf rom thf atmosphere, and store it in avail able form in the soi'. Thev a!o penetrate the soil deeply in al directions with roots which, rot quickly, and leave the earth loose and tilled humus, just in the best possible condition for small grain to do its best. The shading the decaying stubble, the joroussoil and moisture cons quent gives a warm ro ' b ur the cold winter. Tnus winter killing is largely prevented, and vigorous growth promoted. Repeated vig orour harrowing wih now com plete the mechanical condition SEEDING AND FERTILIZING. Select some good sound seed, already acclimated, clear of for- igu pests of all kinds. Soak well :u a solution of bluestone so as to kill fungi spores and microbes how one bushel pr acre- If put in the proper depth about one and a half inches this will give as many plants as an acre should have. Sow with a d rill if you can. If you cannot, then by hand, and p ow iu as above, one and a half to two inches. Use through the drili or spread broadcast four hundred or more pounds per acre of acid phosphate and muri ate of potash (or, kainit) mixed thus. 400 j ounds acid phosphate, muriate of potash 130 pounds (or kainit 400 pounds). This is needed to give health to the plants and fullness to the gram, lne clover and pea vines wil have furnished all the need ed ammonia now roll the soil j tirm. and ihen run over with a smoothing harrow so as to pre vent crusting, and you are ready to await results. - And the results will not disappoint you. Particu arly will this be true, if you have selected the right time to sow. Here in the South, this time is from the 20th of September to 1st of November. Later will not make the largest yields or the heaviest grains. Wheat is a biennial, needing the fall season of one year to make the roots, and the spring season of the next year to produce the tops and the grain. If the root ing season has been cut short, spring yield wUl be cut short. J. B. Hunnicutt His Mother's Picture. The following touching story concerning Admiral Dewey has just been published. J ust before the battle of Manila, when the order was given to strip for action, the smallest powder boy the flag ship dropped his coat overboard. He asked permission to jump after it, but was refused. He went to the other side of the ship, dropped overboard, recovered his coat, and was promptly arrested for disobe dienca. After the battle he was tried and found guilty. When the sentence was submitted to Com inodore Dewey for his approval, he became interested in the case as he could not understand why the boy should risk his life for a coat just before the battle. He had the boy brought to him.. He spoke kindly to the youngster, who broke down and told the Commodore that the coat conr t lined his mother's picture, which he had just kissed, and he could not bare to see it lost. Dewey's eyes tilled with tears, he fairly embraced the boy and ordered him to be released, say "Boys who love their mothers enough to risk their lives for her picture cannot be kept in irons' on this fleet. "Evan gal ist. Of lice of. the Treacher. There is atendency in man minds and in many churches to subordinate the sermon toother parts of the service.

We believe that quite every publication in this Stale comes to the Morning 'Post. Id reading them oer. vhich we do always with iuterest and -piofit, we art struck with a few things which. are ooth interesting and pleasing Without any pretense to su perannuation we cau say we re member the papers rf the State thirty-odd years ago, and hav kept in close touch with thfiu during the period intervening The changes are as great, and for the better, too, as they are g rati fying. J Twenty- seven years ago, when the State Press Association was organized at Goldsboro. we do not think there were fifty publi cations in all the StBte, We be lieve there were five dailies in the Sfate, twoat Wilmington, two at Raleigh, one at Charlotte. The others were all weeklies or month lies. Now there are two dailies in Asheville, two in Charlotte, one each in Concord and Salisbury twe each in Greensboro, Winston and Durham, three in Raleisrh. three in Wiimington; one each iu Fayetteville. Goldsboro, Wilson, Newbern, Kinston, Greenville, Washington, with weeklies, semi weeklies and monthlies reaching an a-'gregate of nearly three hun dred publications. Nearly every county has a paper, some several. And then to compare the pa pers of today with those even of twenty years ago. In appear ance, which means press work and general make up, the Worst of today is better than the best oi ?he other period, indeed we have but very few that will not sur pass anything in that particular of two decades ago, The general matter is incociparahly superior, while the editorial work and newspaper capacity generally ex hibited in local and other depart ments is as much in advance of pastas the improvements in the mechanical departments are ad mitted to be. Not that there were not editorial writ rs then of as much ability as now, and pos sibly of greater public influence in some respects, but the style and quantity of their labors by no means equal that required to viay. There have been some very able men connected with editor-al work in this Slate, b I compared with the rush and push and what is understoo.l to be the popular demand for "N. ws" and the dis cussion of the current incidents of V.i day. the editor of the past enjoyed a most peaceful rest com pared with that which is requir ed of the editor now. And our brethren of today are keeping well up with ihe demands of a people themselves improv ing in intelligence and multiply rug in all things that o to make up a prosperous community, which leads us to say that our people need not go out of the State away from home to get excellent newspaper service They certainly can not get any so faithful to them and their in terests. In matters of religion, politics, the trades, agriculture, even the sciences and higher liter iture, the7 can be well served at home, by home products.

He was a stranger and Mr. Coutler, by way of com mencing a conversation.. fuid ti him "My friend, lam not asking to guy you, but I would like to know how it comes that so young a man is so bald." "It was in this way," be replied. When my time to get hair came they said there was none left but red; so I told them I didn't be iieve I cared for any ."

Ed ) For the past few years Wakt Forest College has weilnigh quit putting D. D. to preachers names Mary people of common sens thought this a tendency in the right direction. It was fondlj hoped by many that this college would set the example of entirely quitting this foolish practice. D. D. means a doctor, or teach or of divinity. Divinity mean the divine power, justice, good ness and mercy of God i"be Fath er, Son, and Holy Ghost. Every God called preacner and every faithful Sabbath schoo! teacher, who teaches these divim attributes of the triune God is u teacher of divinity. Therefore ii is making a foolish, unnecessary, unscriptural and invidious dis tinction to single out a few ana call them teachers of divinity. If such a title ought to be con ferred on any one, it ought to be done, not by a literary institution but by a church, the only po'wet that can ordain to tho gospel min istry. If any man ought to hav such a title, who is more worthy of it, than our beloved brother. W. C. Tyree. of Durham. N. C As a Christian and a preacher hr ranks among the best. But m m felt sa 1 when they saw that Wak Forest College had marred his lovely name by putting D. D. to it. I am sure ihat the brother does not believe in scch a titk acd that he did not want it. The Roman Catholics have pu; "St." for saint to the names ol Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. "St." ought to be left out of ouj Bible, and ought never to be call ed. But D. D has no more script u ral a u tho r i ty t ha q "S t, " ; I?. is rediculous even to think of saying Dr. Jesus, Dr Matthew Dr. John, Dr. Paul. it would have greatly belittled Spurgeon to have called him Dr Spurgeo-.. He repudiated all such titles as uuscriptural Rev. foi reverend is a Roman Catholic ti tie and ought to be repudiated by all who take the Bible as theii guide. Why cannot Christian minis ters be satisfied with scriptura titles: Elder, Overseer, Bishop. Evangelist? Elder J. B. Gambrel, of Texas. thaD whom there lives no bettei or more useful man, was give! some years ago the title of D. D He does not believe in it. He was troubled becauseit wras confer red on him. Ho told his wife oi his trouble. -She, like a sensibh woman, tried to comfort him. saying "Well, husband, don'i worry over that, it is just a little ornament to your name, like th curIof a pig's tail." Elder Gambrel, in exposing and repudiating unscriptural ti tles, closed his article with th most sensible suggestion I hav ever heard in regard to titles. H said; Let tiUes represent th kind of work Christian workers are doing." Here is his idea:Sa Pastor W. C. Tyree, Evangelisi J. E. Hudson, President C. E. Taj lor. Professor W. B. Royal, Edil or J. W. Bailey. Superintendent J. B. Boon, Secretary R. J. Wil lingham, etc. With all of what little influence I have. I want to stand unyieid idgly against all unscriptural ti tles, teachings and institution-, and firmly for the simplicity ano purity of Bible truth. J. A. Stradlev, Oxford. X. C.

The Southern Farm Magazice for August, has upon the front jpage of its cover an excellent picture of Prof Joseph A. Holme s, of Ncrth Carolina, and in its lead- article "Workers for the South" it gives a sketch of the life of Prof. Holmes, with some notes of his work, to which re ference below is made. If the entire State should be gone over, it would be difficult to find another North Carolinian ii the same class as Prof. Holmes, namely, one who wassoiudefo tigueable in his efforts toadvancr the material interestsof the Stab-, aud who was actually accomplish iug so much, and with it all, with out ostentation. While-just now Prof. Holmes is specially indentified with tin one interest, almost important one, in which he has given his best talents and time. In all geological matters per taining to the State, Prof. Holmes has been a leader, and in the mat ter of good water, notable for Eastern Carolina, he has worked splendid results by his study ol soil conditions, and by his ad vice ou the matter of wells. The Southern Farm MagaziLe has the following on Prof. Holmes' road work: "His latest product for the encouragement of the practical campaign was a rc ad-builders' institute held for several day last month at Charlotte. This insi tute was the outcome of the cor: viction that the inclination of road building will be greatly enhanced by their knowledge that the money so paid will be expended judiciously. Accordingly, undr the direction of Professor Holme assisted by Gen. Roy Stone, director of the government ofher of road engineering; Mr D. P Hutcherson, manager of the Char lotte township road work; Mr. C A Spratt, engineer for the cit aud county road work, road su pervisors and other persons in terested in good roads weie given practical instruction in methods ofy constructing high ways on t basis suited to the con ditions in the two Carolinas. " While not a native of this State, being born in South, Carolina, i is a matter of State congratula tion that such a man as Prof.J. A Holmes has become a citizen of this commonwealth, and the honors which have Veen showi him, , by appointments, indicate in some degree the high esteem in which he is held by our people If there wore morn such work ers North Carolina would indeed be blessed.
