CHEAP.. #WAY TO GROW PEA
VINE HAY.
Only a Peck Of Peas Needed To Plant
an Acre, And One Cultivation
Does the Work.
On account of the high price of
peas, the question of how best to
get the most land in peavine hay,
with the least expense, is one
which now interests the farmers,
more than at any previons season
in the hißtory of peavine hay mak
ing-
By adopting the plan which I
will outline, the seed peas will be
as cheap at four dollars per bush
el, as they were in previous years
at one dollar.
DROP PEAS IN EVEHY POURTH
FURROW.
One of the best farmers in the
county, near my place, used the
following plan a year or so ago,
and was highly pleased with re
sults, making the finest crop of
hay he ever raised, and used only
one peck of peas per acre. He rau
i otf his lands, just as if oats were
to be sown, and in every fourth
furrow, he step-dropped peas, and
by not plowing across ends of the
lands, they were practioally in
rows,' After the peas were up, he
ran in between'them one time with
a cotton plow with nothing on but
the point and sweep. This gave
the peas a start ahead of the grass,
and when ready to cut, it was
waist high, the finest crab-grass
and peavine hay ever seen to grow
in that neighborhood.
7 TO MAKE A BLESSING OF PEA SHORT
AGE.
' Owing to the scarcity of peas,
this is the plan we will adopt on
Onk Glen Farm this year, using
a Cole planter behind the fourth
plow, and cultivating one time,
and we expect better results than
the old way of sowing broadcast.
If this plan is universally success
ful, and I have no doubt but that
it will be, the loss of last year's
crop of peas will prove a bleasing
in disguise to the farmers, showing
them that while making two blades
of grass grow where one grew be
fore, they can also make one pea
ariswer where four were used be
fore. This is a valuable lesson in
fanm economy, which is as essen
tial to agricultural success as
abundant crops, and even more so,
as it is not what we make, but
what we save, that counts for so
much in making the farmer com
fortable and independent.
MUCH MONEY IN SMALL ECONOMIES.
Instead of using, then, all the
peas we and in many cases
buying more in order to have an
abundant hay crop, we can save
three bushels in every four, to
fee lto the old cow which the
March winds failed to blow away,
and be richly rewarded with an
extra flow of milk, and decided
improvement in looks and weight
of "B'issie." Just so, the farmers
are leamiug to chink many littla
leuks around the farm, which have
been unheeded heretofore, and
I which will swell the ledger antil
1 eventually they will fully enjoy
I that degree of financial prosperity,
| whi*h an all-wise Providence
i intende I for them.
I With the present demands for
I products of cottonseed, the South
has wasted barrels of money in
, towing its crop, and chopping
out nine-tenths of it, and no
doubt in a few years just as good,
or a better stand, will be obtained
by planters that will drop the
seer! at the proper distance
thereby saving thousands of
bushels of seed for the mills. But
necesfyty, perhaps, will force this
ta »:v>n the farmers as it has
j use of peas this year and con
evince them that a thoroughly pre-
P pared seed bed, for any crop, and
stood qunlity of sesrt, 'is more es-
I "tial than quantity.
However, we Irope to 800 iesults
of experience, from different
farmers on the hay question dis
cussed in your most exoellent
paper, from now until harvest,
"In a multitude of counsel there
is wisdom."—Will B. Crawford, in
Progressive Farmer.

Applications Made for the Pardon of
Pleas Head and Robt. Odell.
Friends of Charles Prioe, who
was convicted for killing Robert
Odell, on the farm of Mr. J. M.
Gallaway, Jr., have made applica
tion to the Governor for his
pardon. The petition is signed
by a large number of persons
who heard the trial,Jthe prosecut
ing attorney and others.
The Farmer and Co-Operator,
of Stoneville, has suspended pub
lication and the editor, Mr. T. J.
Lowry, has returned to Mt. Airy
to reside.
The foundation for the court
house at Wentworth is about
oompleted. It goes into the
ground six or eight feet, and was
quite an undertaking. Messrs. W.
T. Wootted and W. 8. Thomas
are in charge of this work, which
is of concrete.
Application has been made to
Governor Glenn for the pardon of
H. P. Head who was convicted on
the charge of killing a man named
Roberts at Mayodan in 1904.
Roberts had gone to Head's home
and was advancing on him with a
knife wheu the fatal 'shot was
fired. The jury convicted Head
and he was sentenced to the pen
itentiary, but there were many at
the time who thought the hom
icide justifiable.
Senator F. M. Simmons, chair
man of the Democratic State
Executive committee has issued a
call fer a meeting of the com
mittee in Raleigh on Monday
night, July 8. Senator Simmons
gave notice some time ago that
he would resign the chairmanship
and this meeting called by him is
that he may tender his resignation
and that his successor may be
elected.

AMBROSE FLIPPIN'S GRAVE. >
I
Interesting Letter From R. T. Joyce, t
Of Mt. Airy, Who Is Traveling In
Oklahoma. f
Oklahoma City, Okla., June 10. f
—Since leaving the state of Geor
gia about tan days ago, my bus- {
iuess has carried me through the
Indian Territory again, and about
the third stop I made, having
noticed in your paper some time
since that our good old friend,
Ambrose Flippin was buried at
Wagner, I saw at once the cem
etery and obtained information as
to the location of his grave. He I
has a beautiful monument, and
after I deposited some flowers and 1
read the dates I went away up
above to a beautiful spot in the 1
shade where I could think of
home and the better land. If there 1
is aAy prettier place on earth than f
this cemetery I have never seen it.
It's about fifty feet above the sur
rounding country, which is n val-
ley about fifty miles long by i
thirty miles wide, with but few
trees and some beautiful knolls
like potato hills and covered with
grass, which is decorated with cat-
tie and horses as far as the eye can
see. The valley is surrounded by
a beautiful fringe of low moun
tains that seem to reach the clouds
and hold them like a canopy over
all that the valley contains.
My next stop was at Putsa, a
little city of 1»,000, just on the
line between the Territories. If
there is any place on earth that
has more natural advantages than
this, I have never seen it. They
have coal at $2.50 per ton, natural
gas at 3to 5 cents per foot, which
means enough heat and light for a
family of eight people at a cost of
about $1.25 to $1.50 per month in
the winter and 35 cents in the j
summer. There are about 500 oil j
producing mills and a cement fac-1
tory going up at a co9t of one j
million dollars, and just below
there I saw a corn buyer and ele
vator man who told me that last
fall he saw 450,000 bushels of corn
out on the ground besides all the
houses and elevators would hold.
Onu man told me ho had ItiO acres
of land in potatoes and that they
would bring him something over
SIO,OOO at the price they were sell
ing at.
Labor is scarce and high. The
cheapest man you can get is $1.75
per day. Carpenters are $3.50,
brick masons SO.OO, tenders $2.50,
farm hands $20.00 per month and
up including board,
No land can be bought now out
side of the towns, but can be leas-!
Ed at from 50 cents to $5.00 per
acre, owing to the distance from !
town. Horses are high but nice
ponies or scrubs can bo bought for
S4O. :o st>o. Lumber is about three i
times as high as with us but brick
are less expensive and much bet
ter. There are railroads in every
direction but the dirt roads are
very poor as a rule. Here you find j
any kind of society you want, but j
mora of the good than bad. There
are comparatively few Indians and
in many places no negroes at all.
There is no whiskey sold in In
dian Territory and the law is very
rigidly enforced. In some places
but littla attention is paid to the
sabbath, while others are exceed
ingly moral and religious. The
general opinion is that they will
get statehood and then the re
strictions will be removed and the
land opened for sale.
The election for the adoption of
the constitution will take place in
August. The two Territories com
posing the State to be called Ok
lahoma is largely Democratic. Ok
lahoma is the land of now and of
tomorrow. It is new and not in
i Hated by pride of the past and
may enter unfettered upon the
glorious duty of accomplishment.
A virgin block it stands before the
sculptor. What the accomplish
ment will be remains for the peo
ple of the budding commonwealth
to determine. V
The wheat crop hero is a total
faijure while corn and cotton are
about thirty days late. f
I expect to be home in a few ;
days.
Very respectfully, ],
R. T. JOYCE.

Pinnacle Mt. Airy Ball Game. 1
In its issue of last week the
Mount Airy Leader has the follow- ,
ing in regard to the ball game
played between Pinnacle and Mt.
Airy a few days ago:
On last Saturday the Mount (
Airy baseball team, accompanied
by quite a number of rooters, ,
went down to Piunacle to try ;
conclusions with the boys of that |
place, and while only six innings
were played Mount Airy had nine
runs to her six, The game was I
characterized by much kicking
on the part of Pinnacle, and the i
rank decisions of the umpire of 1
that team.
The game from start to finish
was slow and uninteresting, while
at times both teams played good
ball, Mount Airy scored in the
first, fifth and sixth innings, while
Pinnacle scored her runs in the
first third and fifth. The con
clusion of the umpire caHsed the
Mount Airy boys to retire from
the field, and it is hardly probable
that they will ever go down there
again.

FOLDING MACHINE ARRIVES.
The Second Piece Of the Reporter's
New Machinery Equipment Arrives.
Since last week the Reporter
has received its new folding ma
chine. It is a No. G Double-feed
Eclipse and is the simplest and best
newspaper folder on the market.
It is cSpable of folding 4, 6, 8, 10
12 or 16 page papers at the rate of
2,500 per hour. This machine will
fill a long felt need in the office,
taking the place of three or four
hands in folding papers and will
do the work much more quickly
and better than hand labor. The
friends of the paper are invited to
come in and see it work when in
stalled. It weighs 1,100 pounds
and came from Sidney, O. The
next piece of machinery to arrive
will be our Babcoek press, which
will come in about the last of
August. It is not yet even made
by the manufacturers, who advise
us that shipment will be made
just as soon as it can be com
pleted.
The new job press will be added
the first of the fall months.
The North Carolina Bar Asso
iation will hold its ninth annual
