Thursday, January 3, 1907.1- PROGRESSIVE ffA&ilER AND COTTON PLANT. 1 in Eastern that Eastern North Carolina' Farmers Hope for Better Things in 1007. Messrs. Editors: Notwithstanding the great depression from crop fail ures in our. Eastern section, the farm ers have gone to work in good earn est to retrieve their losses in the making of a 1907 crop. Fall oats are doing well and prepa rations for truck, especially cabbage,! peas and potatoes, seem to be onthe usual scale in our county. - v There are more corn buyers in Craven, this year than for a. long time, and all need peas; none, of im portance were picked, - -a- . m JNortn uaronna. The cotton gin nearest me usually gins nearly 300 bales will not reach 100 of the 1906 crop, as all is ginned. A farm with 400 acres clear ed land and with eighty acres in cot ton has only made twenty-three bales this year, and that is about the av- Y.orc rf Vi o rmmtv with nf-ftniirse. XCLSJf JM.H.S wv - M some few exceptions where small areas have, done better. Our farmers are encouraged with the conclusion, however, that we never have two years together like 1906. So they are preparing with a will to make' due preparations lor 1907 and find in Nature's abundant soil resources, coupled with the sci ence ot enriching and cultivating, that will enable the tiller of the soil to reioice in an abundant harvest. More Door hogs have been killed around here than ever before, and some who usually sell one) or two thousand pounds of fresh jprk, have only enough for 1907 mat. Sweet potatoes, field peas and ground-peas being scarce, hogs could not be fat tened on corn. D. LANE. Craven Co., N, C. A successful effort is now being made to advance agriculture from the old system of unending routine work, to its deserved recognition as a profession, and to educate the far mer in the direct- line of his future work. .- Trappers Have you ever seen the Hunter - Trader -Trapper, an lllus trated monthly magazine about steel traps, snares, fvurs. etc.?

Editors: We wish we had time and you space to tell you all about another nice trip to Lenoir County But suffice it to say that on the morning of December 11, 1906, we were met at Falling Creek and driven out to the good home and farm of Pres. Geo. F. Parrott. Here we viewed the crop, stock, provision on hand for winter, consisting of horses, mules, cattle, chickens, tur keys and more than one hundred guinea-fowls all hollering "pot-rack" at one time. We soon left that racket and made our way over to Holy Inno cents, and that same night in the church here we met a goodly number - of armers, including the ladies, and had a splendid Alliance meeting." One man said he laughed and cried," and cried and laughed, and was going ; home feting like he wanted to be and do better. ' We visited most of the old Alliances and reorganized at Deep Run, Woodington and Parrott's school-house, the last one being named "Parrott- Alliance," in honor of our State President. ' K We are much indebted to Oscar Hardy, Elder Henry Cunningham, Sam Parish, E. K. Davis, E. H. Wal ler. Henrv Edwards. Dr. Wooten. R. I.
