I have seen farmers in the South sowing wheat broadcast aud plow ing it in with a one-horse plow . No such work can -make a eood wheat crop, or oat crop either. Others plow the laud and sow the seed broadcast and then harrow it in with an old spike harrow. This is almost as bad, for the seed are covered all sorts of depths, and some hardly covered at at all, and a poor, growth is the result. . The making ofa wheat -or ,oat crop de peud more on the previous pre paration of thesoil than anything else. Sowing small grain after corn, or on a pea stubble, I would never re-plow the land deeply, butv would run the disk harrow lightly over it time and again till the soil is perfectly fine, for win ter grain needs to have the lower soil well compacted and tramped over. Then always use a drill for sewing the seed so that it will be put in at a uniform depth and will grow uniformly. The harrow is one of the most important imple ments on the farm.Wi F -Mas-sey, in Raleigh Progressive larm er and Gazette. , :A Man of Iron Nerve, indomitable will and tremens dous energy are never found where- stomach, liver, kidneys and bow eig are out oi oraer. it you want these qualities aud th saccess they britfg,uEe Dr.King's Ifaw Life pills, the matchless regulator for keen brain find strong body. 25o. at all druggists. - SALISBURY AM( OTHplEWS MATTERS.

Raleign Pro gressive Ftfrmerjmd Gazette . - - Tfct Cist ItiKslshllL Nearly two-thirds of our cotton is shipped to Europe, and Euro pean spinners allow 6 per "cent tare, pay for cotton with the idea of including thirty pounds of tare with each five hundred pound bale. As Europe is the dominat ing factor in ootton buying, tak ing nearly two-thirds of pox crop, the world' o:tton prices are fixed with a view to 6 per cant tare, and the farmer is . cheated when he doesn't use it. That is all there is to it. So. long as cotton was five or six cents a pound, not much more valuable than the bagging of ties, it did'nt make much -difference, nut with cotton at 15 cents a pound, it isc.up to the farmers-to insist on Jhia riights. -Raleigh (N.- C.)

Of sr Oiio-foBrth of oor eitizeisilp FirtlgD Bori. English Pespja CcaB South. Washington, September 8. We Americans do not boastXao much tfaesa'dayB about bur Anglo-Saxon raoe strain. We are- becoming the most mixed people on the globe. The census of 1910 'rhow a littld brer 10,006,000 people : in the United States of foreign birth, not to mention ' some millions with one or both parents Vforeiii born. The census of this year should show a considerable in crease in this foreign element. The Bureau of ImmigratiosK of the department of Commerce and L Labor-in its Jul v bulletin'-sbowsH the number of immigrants - com ing to the United States for every yuar since 1820, when the govern ment first began to gather immi gration statistics. The aggregate of the immigration to this.' coun try since tn last census, . inolud- in the arrivals for the month, of July, was 8,868,589. Of these but 910851, or 10.2 per cent, came from English speaking coun tries, England, . Ireland, Scotland and Wales, about twice as manv Italians, or 1,824, 1D9 , have immi grated to. th-rUuited JBtatetin the last ten years. ' The Beb'rewt are next, with 886,539; followed, in order by the Poles, witS 885,- 847 ; Germans, 708,754; and Scan dinavians, with 588,794. English speaking immigrants come from' the Bristish Isles as follows: ; England, 888,125; -Ireland, 378,f94; Scotland, 134,911, aud Wales. The Italians came, 292.471 and 1,531,638 from south ern Italy. The mixed.- races that inhabit Russia. andsouth eastern Europe sent of Russians, Rusni-. aks, Slovaks, Roumanians, J Croa tions, .SlavanianjancLJlikbuau iaus an aggregate of 1,524.255. France, of -all the greater . Et rp pean countries has been the most niggardly in her donation in her donations to our composite citi zenship, sending in the last ten years but little over 10 Spain, with 48,912, and Gr, with 81,992,. contributed to the tide of immigration from " south ern Europe. Most ail of this im migration Sftttled in the inorthern. and western states, and most of this great bulk has contributed to the swollen population, as the pending census will show, of the larger cities of the east and middle west. "As far as , people of the English speaking races are con cerned, the completed census' of this year wilt show a greater pro portion of . them than ever, as compared with the rest; of the country, make their abiding places in the southern states. The tola! immigration to this country since 1820 is 27 894,293. The average for the first decade was 12,000; for the second, 58000; the third, 152,000; fourth 804,- 000; fifth, 209,000; sixth, 496,000; seventh? 525,000 ; eighth, 859,000 ; ninth,-886,000. The immigral in the last ten years waB 8,500 000 greater than, for all the years prior to thi civil war, or forty yeats of immigration. The tide was high est. in 1907, when . it reaohed :' 1, 285,849. Notwithstanding the civil war, during the four years of bloody strife over 800,000 immi grants landed on our shores. No suoh movement of human beiups toward a common destination i& reoorded in any history. . - The reiterated determination of Senator Aldrich to retire from the Senate . at the expiration' of his term next March, with the elimi- s ... nation of others will - make the most remarkable change in the peieonel of the Sena finance com mittee it haahad iri a quarter of a century; Six membejrsof this great committee which had charge of the Payne tariff Jbill will not be-mem-beis when the committee under takes the beginning of the gradual reduction recommended by Presi dent Taft.

This is about ; ten days or two weeks after the stage of;, develop ment at which the fodder is usu ally pulled. The oonTshould hot he cut . and shocked until the shucks and the blades:-below the;? ears, have turned browns If cuf a early as some people pull fodder this will reduce the yield as much ' as pulling the foddef . If cut too early, it will not be, as good for seed, but we have, never- advised cutting the corn until it is ma ture ; x . ,. .-. ". - Th results of a" test made tat the Georgia; Experiment. Station indicate that when oorn is cut at ' the right time and cured in '.the shock, as many pounds of shelled . corn are obtained as when the plants are not touched until late in the fall. That is, the corn cut and cured in the shock is equal or superior to that left on the stalks from which the; leaves . have not been: pulled, to take the weather until the usual time ot gatherinsr in Ootober or November.
