LET US SELL YOU A NEW TURNOUT THIS SUMMER MMRKQER : in BROTHERS IMPORTANCE OF COWPEAS. Again we desiire to remind the far mers of the importance of planting every available, cultivated acre to cowpeas. They are valuable for the following reasons: They are a fairly good hitaian food. They are one of our most nutrition, foods for stock. They shade the soil! during the,' hot test part of the summer, thus aid ing ins the formation of valuable nirtates. If turned under, the vines add con siderable fertility to the land. The presence of decaying roots, stu'bblies and vines in the soil helps to convert mineral substance into plant food. If picked the peas alone are worth from eight to twelve dollars per., -a ere The vines that grow on an acre; a.re are worth frcfci six to ten dollars fcr stock food. Through their roots peas put into the soil! from four to six dollars wort of nitrogen) per. acre, most of our m prfitable sdls are lacking in th's substance. The vines, roots and stubble help to make the soil loose and' easily cul tivated. They also absorb and retain mois ture that wdJl aid the next crop to go through a brought easily. The roots of pea vines are good suib s oilers. They go to considerable deb th and open up the earth so that air and water can make a deep soil. Peas get their nitrogen from air free of cost to the iarmer, so that very little nitrogen is needed in their fertilizers except for very poor soils. Peas: feed strongly upon the suply of potash amid p'hospihoric acid, there fore these sub-stances should be su plied to them .M amy crops fail for lack of acid mad potash. The price of peas are high, but this dees notkeep the wise farmer from planting them. He is thiiikimig of the ten dollars fin va'lue he is to recieve later fcr every dollar inves ted in them now. Let no farmer negllect to plant ab undantly of this important crop USED UNIVERSAL.

Raleitgh ,N. iC. A Brand New Commandment. The dev;,l we are told can recite scripture for dark and devious pur poses of his own. but it wem wlli ordinary mortals to be very caire in usiaic such auotatinm Thi. for ful last week upon the mlind of Attorney Vertrees of counsel for secretary R. Achilles Ballinger, in the -hearing be fore the joint committee which is investigating the Hatter gentlmanfs little differences with Me&siera Pinchot, Glaviis, Kerby, et id. Ir. Veertres was paying his rees- pects to the press' of the country such respects being couched in lang uage siomewihat more striking thatn it was kind. In the course of his re marks he had occasion to refer to the fact that the nevvspaaper were not in the habit of exercising any undue exertion dn ascertaining the truth of statements before publica tion. Had lie contented himself with statimig that this is the fact, no great harm would have been done as the American press has survived such statements several) times dn the past and will in all human probability, be called upon to survive a few similar ones in the years to come. But Mr. Vertrees has a very pretty gift of language, and .he set off the paragraph by asserting that the only one of the ten commandments, the pa pers obey is "Give us this day our daily bread. The members of the committee and that portion of the great public then and theiir present did not seem to be much upset at thiLs statement just at first, but Representative Oljmsted of Pennsylvania, who is endowed wiithj a consuminig thirst for iuforma- Or.e of the South's greatest needs is ia:niigr-ti:oin of the right kind. Our Yvhole Srcticin is too spa.rse-ly settled. Our eleven Southern States, excluding Texas, suppo.it only 10,000, 000 people of both, races, and only 10 000,000 white psoplie, while the same area in Europe supports 160, 000,000 white peopl.e. And it mit be neme-m-bored that up to a certain point, wluich we shall not reach for centu ries yet, and other things being eq ual, prosperity depends upon density of population. Emerson wias right he said that " every man who comes into the city with any purchasable talent or skill in him gives to every man's labor a new worth," and i; amj ignorant negro sBave in the old da3"s was worth ?1,000, certaiuly we may assume that a tlrrifty and intelligent restenneir bringing! not only his self, but in most casts substantial accumilations as well, shouild be wort many times as much as an asset to the State. , Of course we dont want the lowest European immigration. If we cam get immigraion from England, Scotland Ireland, Gteraiany, Holland, Sweden, ect, the countries whose, blood has gone to make up our vigrous Amer can stock it wrould be of great heife) to us We aire aid of such immigrants ourselves or desendanas of such immi grants. PYom some countraes of South era and Eastren Europe, on the other hand, immiigration is .of a decidely lo wer cider and objectional, because of low stand;gn of initelli'gence, and. effi iea 'y On th; very saaue pv'nciple, how ever, immigration of normal or 'high standard of iintelligence and efficien cy is desirable. Such immigrationi can be had, and ought to be had in some measure perhaps from our English, Scotch, Dutch, and Irish kinsfolks a cross the sea but chiefly from our Northern and Western States. For years now hundreds' of thousands of the most enterpriseing and progress ive farmers in the -M'.ddde West have been going into Canada with its long, hard winters and bitter climate not only giving up American citizen ship, but actually paying two or thre? times as much for land in that in hospitable region- as land of the same fertility commands in the South. We ought to have brought these men to the South. They know our instutions, our language, they are industrious, thrifty -wide-awake, ard mar.y of thel-n are of Southern ancestry, who should naturally come back home. Lets bring them back. If there were no other reason for advocating such immigration frcm th( Xorh and Wetst, we should favor it as our surest deliverance from our race problem. The proportion of neg- i roes to whites is to la:rge in every Southern! State, and our hope is that ultimately the itdes of migration and immigration will equalize population until the proportion of negroes in no State will exceed 20 per cent. We must train, the negro but at best the process will be slow, and at present it would probably not be to much to say that in considering our whole population, including our great con structive lleaders and captains of industry, the average negro in econ omic worth net productiveness, and efficiency is only half as useful as the overage white man. In other wore in rating general averages of efficien cy we should put the white man at 100 and the negro at 50, so that a co try half white and half black would eor a handicap of 25 per cent, as con; pared with a county with an exclus ive white population of a aiornial de gree cf efficiency. .Whether or not the difference is as much as this, certain it is that the larger proportion' of whites, the high re the average of eficiency, the more prosperous wdll be our every industry, and the better it will be for every individual citizen, inelud ing the negroes themselves. There are just two basic and fun damental ways to build up th9 South. First and of paramount Importance is- Education, the development of the people already here; second is aimmi gnatioin, getting mere people, to come here. In the last census year- North Car olina, Virginia and Georgoa each1 had in round numbers only 1,200,000 Sout Caro'15na had less than 600,000 whites when it should have had 3,000,000. And even, th en, not one of these Sta tes, including its negro population, would be one-third as thickly settled as Massachusetts; considier for a m jment how much more important eve ry instution in the State would be; how much more variied woulld be our industries; how much easier it woulld be to get good roads in counties in which the whit epopulaticn is now too small to ma.in.ta ion them; how easy it would be to double the use fulness of our public schools. how quickly we would buisljd railroads in sections which must other wise re main dormant and back-ward fort long long years; how important our citiies should beccime; and how much more attractive would be country life in our thickly settled communities, and how much easier! it would be to get telephones and water-works and trol ley lines nad local libraries and all the advantages of twentieth century rurjal life. Let us take our motto; "Educa tion and immigration Both of the Right sort." And then; let's go after both in dead earnest. Poe in Progressive Farmer.
