MEANS DEFEAT OF RECIPROCITY The Result of the Canadian Election Means Death to the Measure. Montreal, Sept. 21. The Laurier government and reciprocity suffered' an nvoimm, t" t - an overwhelming defeat in the Cana dian elections held to-day. By a veritable political landslide the Liberal majority of 43 was swept away and the Conservative party se cured one of the heaviest majorities, upwards of 50, that the Conservative party has ever had. Seven cabinet ministers who had served with Prem ier Laurier were among the defeated candidates. The government defeat means that the Fielding-Knox reciprocity agree ment, ratified by the American-Congress in extra session, will not be in troduced when the Twelfth Parlia ment assembles next month, and that a revised basis of trade with the United States, looking to closer com mercial relations, will not be possi ble in the immediate future. The Conservatives are committed to a policy of trade expansion within the empire and a closed door against the United States. Spurred on by appeals to patriotism and the cry that reci procity was the entering wedge for annexation, the Conservatives swept nearly everything before them. PLANS FOR RE-ORGANIZATION.

Ia a revlous chapter we gave the average chemical analysis of a large number of samples of green rye in which we found this material to con tain 10 pounds of nitrogen, 5 pounds of phosphate, and 14 pounds of pot ash per ton. All of these constitu ents are taken from the soil by the roots, built into the tissues of the plant and given out again to a tuc cedlng crop when the rye decays. A crop of green rye welghlngSelght tons to the acre is easily grownpn the average farm In North Carolina. This amount of green rye Incorporat ed with the first ten inches of a ten acre field would furnish to the soil orf this field, in a readily available form, S00 pounds of nitrogen, 400 pounds of phoephato and 1,120 pounds of potash. This is as much nitrogen as would be furnished by 20 tons, of an 8-2-2 fertilizer or 100 loads of fresh cow manure. The phosphate in this amount of green stuff is equal that contained in two and one-half tons "1 urlfJ i or lads of fre8Q nors manure. The of an 8-2-2 fertilizer or in 200 tons, potash contained in this material Is equal to that found in 28 tons of an 8-2-2 fertilizer or in 150 tons of fresh horse manure. Sufficient rye to seed the ten acres will cost around $10, whereas, it would cost $75 to haul and spread - the 150 tona of stable manure. In the above we have mentioned merely the plant food constituents rendered available by the rye and have not taken into account the vast amount of humus for holding mois ture and improving the texture of the soil. Be sure to sow quantities of rye this fall for plowing under next spring before planting. Next week we expect to discuss the use of wheat straw and green corn as manure. N J. L.

They have In curred obligations .which have to be met, and there is nothing for them to do but dispose of enough' of their "I have received several inquiries. mostly from officials of county locals tnrougnout the State, asking about tne financing of the crop. My replies to all these is to have the county locals appoint influential committees to wait upon the local banks to see if funds cannot be secured at home for the financing of the crop, the securities being the warehouse re ceipts. I have added that If Insuf ficient accommodations cannot be se cured, then to communicate with me so that I can get In touch with oth ers higher up." Dr. Alexander is assured that the warmers of the South can realize on their crop if they will only market it slowly and Judiciously. Charlotte Observer. The Murderous Hatpin. In nearly every State and in most large cities efforts have ben , made to pass laws against the use of long hatpins. The fatalities from these Instruments have been, many and se rious. They have put out eyes, scratched faces, made dangerous wounds, and added a new terror to life. The : inclination has been to ridicule any effort to regulate them, because fair woman is supposed to be allowed to do anything or to wear anything that fashion may impose upon her. But this Is a real terror, and it is to be regretted that solemn reformers have not been able to han- !4M1 T J .f f t tsove lha, afed M t w ST . rffew hall an t fnam trai aad h!l w the tuusa. iitt 7; f la wearers will W iuvi Tf u Thfti ho hate !rv H ha no U;r ta l. rr tranifrrrei to the tvfci V H It might t wn t0 &4t 4 Tin: ikxi who nn ui nn f A few years rut lied tlx miw KMitt. -.V jMlMouri. owned a tte.V, I seeded capaMe of cossV (dally taik w to tA ut f lof about one sundry ibr Mr. lie re.
