|Mr. Editor:
Please allow i
myself. I have Intended to keep my

I do not think It is tylr for my friend
Mr. B. H. Thompson to be educating
those good plow-boys of hta to serve
I only two terms In office. I tBtmlc that
[if Geo. E. Ricks and Joseph P. Tay

charge every duty to the beet Inter

have not? that tho*e boys of Mr.

for these different offices, aa be would
have them do. But let the people say
to them, "Boys, as long as you serve
the people right, by doing Justice to
aU parties, just so lopg we. apod old
Democrats of Beaufort county are
going to support you." I want ttf say
right here that there Is not a man on
what .you oall the "new ticket" but
what I personally like, but I must say
to the gentlemen, that when you come
out and say that a man shall not
serve the people as long as the people
want them to serve them. I Just think
you have gone a step too far and I
will not support It, and I do say that1
ft Is a matter every man ought to be
greatly Interested In?so much so
that you should leave the handles of
your plows and even the beds of af

Indebted to \> .?sman. Hon.
Jno. H. Smk. Indefatigable
efforts In th?yg?half. He was the
chief Instrument by. which these
meetings were conducted. There
were several experts present from the
United States Department of Agrlcul^
ture. all of whom made talks that
tore practical aud to the point. The
subjects discussed were the soli, fer
tilizers, cotton, corn snd tobacco,
and good roads. There were two ses
sions held, one In the morning and
the other In the afternoon. At both
sessions the Courthouse was packed
?sf a ad I ng room went at a premium.
It la a fine omen when the farmers

to meetings. Yeaia ago no such aa
thuslasm prevailed among then.
They today are eager to learn all the

plsnt a cover crop 6f some kind."
said the apeaker. "Every acre of
cowpeas contains 15.42 nitrogen; the
root contains 5.90 nitrogen." Mr.
Campbell said that crimson clover Is
the best cover crop for Eastern North
Carolina. It would pay better to buy I
rimson clovcr seed at $15 per bushel
than to purchase guano. About Oc
tober Is the best time to sow. About
15 to 20 pounds to the acre of the
tame amount of vetch. The beit
method of Inosculation is to take aol *
from a plat of around where crlm

as to prevent crossing with the weak
er plants. The best fertiliser for to
barco. he said, on stiff land, is
300 pounda blood. 16 per cent, of am
monla. 600 pounds of. 14 per cent
?eld phosphate; 100 pounds SO pe
cent, sulphat. This is for 1.000
pounds of the mixture, or you can
substitute 600 pounda7\fc per cent
cotton seed meal. S00 pounds 14 per
it. acid phosphate; 100 pouada M
per cent, sulphate of potash. This la
for ? 1.100 pounda mixture. Sulphat?
