Efje fcfern Courier, PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY C. H. Horton. - Owner & Manager,' HERTFORD. N. C. PKB pOt-LAR A JEAR IN DYINCE. WEDNESDAY. - - - Mar. 27. 1895. LACK OF COURAGE. It is a little difficult to estimate the future of the "newly organized bi-metallic party. It cannot be sen as yet, by the average mind's eye, how it is to amo,untto much with its members, still pVofessing allegiance to their respective pres ent party organizations and fight ing within their parties for free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. It is not meant to say that it is not possible for the Democratic or the Republican party, or both of them, to be brought to the free silver standard ;but. if either is or can be, then where is the necessity for a new bi-metallic party? and where is the field to work in? It seems to us a palpable absurdity for these gentlemen, all bi-metalists, to form a new party and then not join themselves. The case is bad as that of the doctor who refuses to take his own medicine. Great significance would attach to this movement of those who have originated and those ?who are pushing itj and who have 'joined' it in the purely Pickwickian sense thaf -while thy believe init atd wish it well; they, for their own parts, continue in the parties to which they now severally belong great significance would attach to the movement of these and all others whom they can influence should they cut loose from their old party associations and throw them selves unreservedly into the new movement, having no other shibo leth excepting silver. The point has been made that no one-idea party has ever succeeded. We eonceive that this is not because it was a one -idea party,but because that idea did not appeal to enough of the people. Other parties have been hampered and held down by offering too many issues to the people. If they had presented one or two and presented them clean cut then they might haven gotten along better in the world. There is a great deal of free silver senti ment in this country it may be said to be the burning question. A majority of the people might endorse it were, it accompanied by other entangling questions; but it is not likely to win under a lead ership which declares it the vita! issue and which yet does not dem onstrate the courage of its con victions concerning it.

It is important in planting any farm crop, that a good stand be secured; for every missing plant reduces the yield by just so much. A wet spot here and a little place there where the soil has not been put in proper condition for plant growth .will make a difference which wonld astonish most farm ers, if they could only see it piled uf before them. Every bit of tilled land should be so wellvd rained that the longest probable et spell will not affect the crops' grown on it to any ap preciable effect. The land should be put in the best condition when being prepared for planting; (and if there are any places where it does not yield readily to ordinary methods; I extra pains should be taken fine it thoroughly. Thebpst farmer is the one who so tills his fields that every part of them shall produce a good crop. If there are thin spots,; they must be fertilized in order to stimulate a growth equal to that in the best place in the field. There is no more attract ive sight to the thorough farmer, than a field in which the crop shows exactly alike all over it. Such a crop always attracts atten tion from passers, and stamps the f owner as one who understands his business and takes delight in it. t it . Auomer element in securing a good crop is in planting sed which has retained ajl its vitality. Very frequently this is where the jfault lies; and it is a mistake to plant any kind of seed until it has been tested. I have known more than one occasion wherei seed corn failed to grow, making it necessary to replant (he whole crop, and de laying it disastrously. After such a winter as we are now having, it frequently happens that seed corn is found to have been injured by the cold weather to such an ex tent that a considerable per cent- age of it will not grow. If only ten in a hundred fail it is a ten per cent loss on the crop, and no farmer wants to loose that much. I belive that there are a great many crops of corn grown where more than ten per cent of the pos sible stand . is missincr Thi'a makes a very small showing in a growing field, but it makes a great one in the aggregate ot the crop. aj pinu ui teuiiug seeas, is to take one hundred grains from the lot to be planted, without select ing, and wrap them in common cotton batting. This kept damp and placed in a warm place, usual ly among Mrs. Carroll's flowers in the window garden, and allowed to remain two or three days. By that time tne seeds will show whether they are going to grow or no if ten per cent of them either get seed of some other. or plant enough, go as to make sure the stand will be perfect. I have not found it verv nmfifahiL replant corn, as the replant never catches up with the first planting; and the best that it ever makes is fodder at the expense of the first planting. - The only, true way is to take every precaution to get a good stand at the first.
