Tbe Reunion at Dallas Promise to be ' Memorable Occasion. - Thinner and thinner grow the ranks of tbe old veterans of one of the most sanguinary wars the world ever knew, and the knowledge that they are steadily passing away, adds pathos and Interest to each succeeding reunion. Hence It is - but natural that religious and memorial services should become more and more , the features of recurring anniversaries, J. W. Jones, chaplain general, U. C. V. i 4 has issued a special and urgent call "to a 1 our chaplans" to be present at the coining reunion at Dallas, Texas, which promises to be one of the finest and most interesting yet held. , The hospitable people of Dallas have made great preparations for the entertainment of the "vets," and there need be no expense of living after reaching the city, as all the necessaries and many luxuries will be provided at the camp. The parade will be under the chief marshalahip of Ma. Gen. E. W. Van Zaudt, commanding Texas division, U. G V. The following ' general order concerning the memorial service will be found Interesting: " Headquarters D. C. V. - New Obleism, La.. March 29, 1902. General Orders No. 273.

It Is , One of the Moat Profitable Crop that Can be BalaedJLYleMa a High aa S1800 per Acre Opportunity Offered to Make Practical Teats in a Small Way Without Xxpenie-State Will Aid. Some time ago Tarn Fbeb Pbkbb pub lished an announcement that It was probable that the D. S. Agriculture De partment, by virtue of authority given It In a bill from congress, would assign four experts to this State to Instruct farmers in the cultivation of Sumatra nd Cuban tobacco. At that time It was stated that the e perlment was successfully tried in the Connecticut tobacco belt last year and that as high as $1,800 was realized on an acre. Tub Fbeb Press then awaited de velopments: with Interest and with a view to securing a share In the experi ments, if possible, for its friends among the tobacco farmers. As the season was growing old and no further developments came, a letter was written last week to Hon. B. W. Kilgore, state chemist, asking for Information as to the present status and further pros pects. ; Mr. Kilgore. has- promptly and f ally responded and his letter Is repro duced In full: - State Aid Can Be Had.

The etate. department of agriculture has obtained, through tbe United States department of agriculture, seed ol both Bumatran and Cuban tobaccos and have furnished these to a limited number of tobacco growers, mainly in tbe eastern part of the State for test. The depart ment nas also put out a bed oi Cuban tobacco on its test farm in Edgecombe county and will grow there this season four or five acres of Cuban tobacco, in an experimental way. This tobacco will be grown according to instructions furnished by experts in the growth of Cuban tobacco; by the first of July we hope to have one or two experts to take charge of the experiment and complete tbe growing and cure and ferment the crop. In tbis way we hope to get definite lniormatinn as to tbe suitability of tbe soil and climate of Eastern North Caro lina for this tobacco. It is proposed to continue the work with tobacco another year, and In fact, until the conditions for growing tbeee better types of tobacco are worked out, or else It Is shown that they are not adapted to our sou. Should oat experiments In" EdgecombV county prove successful 1 can see no reason why tbe section around Klnston should not also be well adapted to this tobacco, as there are types of soil in tbe two sec tions entirely alike. We know this from a caret ill examination of your soils, well as those in Edgecombe county. We are not yet 'ully assured of the assignment of experts to assist In this work this season. If the agricultural bill before congress gets reasonable sup port lor tne wort, neip will be given us, otherwise we will likely not be able to obtain it nntil another year. When the expert help Is given we shall be glad to do anything tbat we can to assist the farmers of your section in this matter, and I think arrangements can be made for an expert to visit Klnston and give instructions witn reference to tbis to bacco. I think It rather late this season for your section to do anything, as to bacco beds have been out for sometime I have a small quantity of Cuban and Sumatran tobacco seed left over from the supply furnished us from Washing ton and I send these to you tor such use as yon may see fit to make of them. I am also sending you a copy of the New England Tobacco Grower, . which is specially devoted to the growth of Suma tra tobacco in tbe Connecticut Valley, lam also writing Professor Whitney, chief of the oureau of soils, of the United States department of agriculture, to send yoo his recent publications on tobacco, ion can obtain a special bulletin on this subject by writing to the director nf the Connecticut Experiment station, at New Haven. If we can be of further service to you in this or any other connection we shall be glad to have you call on us. Very truly yours, B. W. KlLCOHK. - 8tate Chemist and Director. , Bi PoaalbUlUea. It will be seen by tbe letter that pro gress is making as rapidly as possible. It will also be seen, and should be fully realized, that Lenoir and adjoining counties form a part of the belt supposed to he specially adapted to raising this most profitable crop, which' if properly handled, will produce a small fortune on each acre. Thx Fbm Pbkss regards this as the most important discovery that could have been made for this district- more Important and valuable than the discovery of gold or oil, as It is some thing that even the smallest fanner can profit by. Think of It! A splendid year's income can be realised from a single acre! Ana in this case there Is no fear of overproduction as there are only here and there small strips of country where this particular tobacco can be success fully raised. . Careful examination of the soil warrants the official statement Ahat "the section around Klnston is well adapted to this tobacco." , Neither Is the Heeled Means Danger. Don't neglect biliousness and constipa tion. Your health will suffer perma nently If yon do. DeWitt's Little Early Risers cure such cases. VI. B. Smith, Butternut. Mich., says "De Witt's Little Early Risers are tbe most satisfactory pills I ever took. Never gripe or cause nausea. ' chance for failure so gnat asm any ol he crop, as the growing plants' are nnder cover and euccefsls almost entirely de. pendent upon Industry, intelligence and the liberal and judicious use of fertilisers Even the man with a small garden can make a few hundred dollars raising this tobacco. Fortunes In Store. . Therefore, in view of all this, The Free Press feels that in tbis article it is making the most important annoi ncement ever made to the farmers of this vicinity It is pointing out the way for them to lay foundations for Independent fortunes, for, as it has said, there is comparatively small chance of failure, and there scarcely a possibility oi tne supply ever exceeding the demand, as the size and fine texture of the leaf makes It the most de sirable for cigar wrappers. It has already been seen by the forego ing that Thb Fbeb Pbkbb is doing some thing more than merely "talking about this great matter. It has gone to work practically to bring about a beginning and it asks the co-operation of a few pro gressive farmers to make a practical test. As mentioned in Mr. Kilgore's letter he has kindly sent The Fbxk Pbess all he had left of packages of seeds for both Su matra cigar wrapper tobacco and Cuba fillers and wrappers. Each of these pack ages contains seed sufficient to sow eight square yards. All it will cost will be tbe expense of erecting and covering the frames and the use of. fertilizers. After that success will depend upon intelligence and unremitting attention Isn't tbe priz4 worth the effort? -How to do It. .. Full instructions will be given with each package for constructing the frame and screen and complete Instructions, for tbe care of the beds and plants after transplanting will be obtained from the state chemist. Reports on the progress of the larger tests at the state farm , will be published from time to time, and should the government experts be sent to this State this year we shall undoubtedly be able to get one here for a few days at least to give practical instructions and demonstrations. Two very valuable and profusely illustrated books, kindly fur nished ns by the D. S. Department of Ag riculture through the influence of Hon Claude Kitchid for the purpose, will also be given with each package. A careful reading of these books will give a prttty thorough theoretical knowledge of the process an 1 show by actual results the Immense profit there is In it. At the proper time, when the tests at the .State farm and those that may be started here, have reached a point where definite conclusions may be drawn, The Fbee PhkIs will issue a special tobacco edition giving full details of the progress made, facts, figures, pictures and opinions on this process and tbe tobacco business in general. Now is the Tims to Act. There Is no time to waste. The seeds should be so wn by April 1 5. Of course a few days' difference, particularly consid ering the lateness of the season, can be made up for by extra care and attention, so it is possible to make a very fair test this year. ;, There are only a lew packages at The Ffixi Pbess, and these will be given with the accessories before mentioned, to the first comers, provided they are men in whom we can have faith that the experi ments will be thoroughly and intelli gently made. , ' . ' Such men are assured that the interest of The Fbeb Pbess in their experiments will be unflagging and every help they require to make the experiment success ful will be obtained for them if possible through the State and United States de- partnuatj of arlcolta re.
