- Evening Tribune. Vol. XI. 25 Cents a Month, Cash. CONCORD, N. C. WEDNESDAY, JULY 18. 1900 Single Copy 5 cents No 88 FARMERS' INSTITUTE. - Cabarrna Farmers Attend Institute Held . - la Court House Today Splendid Pro .gramme by Repreientatlves from State Department A Very Instruct' Ivc and Interestinf Discussion on Sub Jects of Interest to Farmers. The Farmers' Institute for Cabarrus county was held here today. When the meeting was called to order at 10 o'clock there were present a number farmers from every section of th county, i ne program given some T-l days ago in the Tribune was varied somewhat, principally on account o . the absence of F T Meacham, super intendent of the test farm in I rede county. Mr J P Allison presided at thi opening this morning and introduced Franklin Sherman, Jr., State Entomol ogist, who spoke of the purposes of the Institute being held in (he state. primarily to help the farmers think an improve. Mr Sherman promised - Cabarrus would fill the house and show an appreciation of the wor more than one institute a year in th county. "Our purpose," said th speaker, is to talk farming all to - gether; nothing aside from this.' 1 Tie first speaker was T B Parker Y wno talked on soil Improvement f with Alfalfa and other Leguminou J ' Crnn". Mr Parker it nii- nf th best known farmers of the State and capable or speaking to advantage on any subject that is of interest to th farmer. He is a practical farmer an . in his opening remarks stated that th institute was nt to teach farmers how - to farm, but to study many fundi men " tal principles of farming. Mr Parker began at once to interest his audience and draw every one pre? . ent into the dicussion, by asking ques tions and giving personal methods and experience. These home method .-. and experiences which came frequent and freely were the means of bringing out many practical points. Mr Parker ' emphasized the need of going deep, plowing deep, breaking clods and pul : . reiizing the soil. Well broken soil V furnishes the home for the plant food ' Next he discussed soil fertility, ;he " best of fertilizer being stable manure, and you want to save this to the best - . advantage. Soil can be made rich by commercia ' fertilizer, but it's use may not make the farmers rich. "I am an advocate " - and user of commercial fertilizer, but as a help." Again vegitation is good such plants as are absorbed and help keep soil moist. Cow peas were offered - as. a good one. "The trouble is you don't grow enough of these," said the ... speaker and passed to red clover. The ; experience of farmers present sustained ' - the contentions of the speaker to the r-alue of red' clover. Experience also . : proves that land is enriched by legum inoua crops. ' .-. , Horse Power vs. Man Power. Here the speaker gave a persona) : experience, and related by way of com parison the record of one farmer in Iowa and Vermont working four horses and making from the (oil over $400, .while in South Carolina - two men . worked one horse and made $149 North Carolina is a bit above South . Carolina,' but we are -evidently using man power instead of horsepower, which is cheaper. Wi want to get further away from this. " The subject of inoculation of 'seed came up' and one farmer gave his un i - satisfactory experience. Soil inocula- ' li J : l - non, saia ivir r inter, is oetter man seed inoculation, but" he prefers both. Here the speaker said what he wanted was to get each farmer to make ex " periments himself, and not be discour- aged by' failures, but to study and : continue to experiment' Mr Parker ; believes in the theory of inoculation, but warned against depending on this to take the place of fertilizers. ' Here the speaker took up Alfalfa A poll of the audience proved that some but not many had tried it, ' Mr Parker said , that he expected . to see. alfalfa mora generally used in North Carolina. It is rich in protien, worth almost pound for pound of wheat hran. Evi- dently alfalfa has a root that goes down, so that deep plowing is neces- sary; Mr Parker plowed 9 inches; eight hundred pounds of fertilizer to the acre. It needs the help at once, though it soon gets strong enough to stand. His own experience was that the first year it did little good; the second year much better and then it was that he realized the benefit of the plant. "My experience," said Mr Parker, "is that Cabarrus is well adopted to Alfalfa on account of the lime." Mr Parker is a very pleasing talker and he was greatly enjoyed. Stock Feed and Their Adulteration. This subject was handled by Mr C D Harris, of the State Department of Agriculture. He stated that he was no farmer and was not going to tell the audience how to farm- Mr Har us began by referring to the recent law governing the adulteration of stock food. Here he gave the chief feature of the law, the main object of which is to prevent the sale of impure feeds in the State, all adulterated feeds being prohibited in the State, only those that have the sanction of the law and prove pure and full weight. Then the speaker went into an inspection of the law. North Carotin imports ten million dollars of various feeds- in a year. The present law prohibits the sale of an adulterated feed, and ac cording to Mr Hanis the State lias the best inspection of feeds of any of the states. He advised that all feeds be bought by the analysts; law inspection requires that the bag snail contain what ti e analysis states, so that the purchaser may know what he buys. 1 he further object of this law and this inspection is to teach the farmer and stockmen to use this feed together with that he raises on his farm. Advises not buying a feed that has less than 12'.- protein; th higher the better result, further it goes, fat and ptoatein should be high, th fiber low. Here Mr Harris showed samples of feeds that had been confis cated by the State. One showed 38 per cent of corn cob. The speaker paid his respect to patent foods tha claim to do and cure all. These were stated to be of no value. Mr Harri concluded by the dinner hour Insect Pests. When the institute re convened a 1:30 in the afternoon Franklin Sher man, Jr, State Entomologist, spoke on insect pests. The Hessian fly was discussed. Mr Sherman advised ate sowing of wheat, and a burning of stubble in July as the two principal ways of preventing this pest. Frost will ptqbabjy kill the fly out, but not while it is in the flax seed stage. ' The chinch bug was next discussed. They mature about the time the stubble is made and from this they Crowd into the neighboring corn. Two ways of stopping one to not have trash piles and stuble about in which they breed- This calls for their destruction before they reach the corn, by burning stuble or plowing up; a small strip of tar around field .will check them; so much easier than after ' they get into corn, The experience of the Cabarrus farm ers was that the insect of the fall did the most damage, which led to the speaker' stating that this is unusual and that three broods a year is very unusual. ; Corn insects were nexf dis cussed, the wire worm, the cut worm, the white grub, the stock borer, the ear worm, the bud worm, the grain weevil and others that do injury to the corn. - Methods for prevention given as" follows: 1st, " rotation of Crops; the practice of cutting the stalk at the ground removes the stalk from the field as a breeder for bugs, j Next the insects on fruit trees were discussed. The apray pump , was" recommended in treating fruits and vegetables. . . - ; .Com Culture.".' . 'J' The next topic was "Corn Culture," by Mr Parker. .'Statistics show that in Cabrrus the average is 10 1 7 bushels to the acre, while some counties go to an average of 18, Much stress was laid upon good seed, and to Seed Mr Parker gave much of his talk. It is proper to select the seed corn in the field, where the stalk as well as the ear will enter into the count. The greater portion of Mr Parker's discussion was devoted to the selection of seed, the breeding of seed. THE WADESBORO LYNCHERS. Prosecution at Standstill and Indictment May Be Squashed Supreme" Court to Decide. Monroe, July 17 When court ad journed for the day this afternoon the trial of the twenty citizens of Anson county, charged with lynching J V Johnson, was nearer a focus than it was yesterday. The expected decision of the court on the motion entertained Monday af ternoon was not rendered owing to the desire of the state to amend the bill of indictment. The unexpected move halted the proceedings and puts the case back where it was yesterday morn ing with the motion of the defense to quash the indictment under the res ervation of the court. Judge Shaw will pass on that motion this morning as soon as the grand jury has complet ed the formality of presenting the de fendants under the revised indictment and the jury will finish its work this morning, I hough the counsel for the state hold to the opinioii that the revisal of the bill of indictment puts a new com plexion on the case, it is understood that Judge Shaw holds a anrary view, and further that he will, this morning, allow the motion of" the de fense to quash the indictments on the ground of improper venue. From this' ruling the state will appeal to the Su preme Court, and give .that trihuna an opportunity to'pass upon the statu tes of the revised code bearing upon this case. It is not expected that any new motion will be made in the cases tomorrow and the quashilng of the in dictments will end the matter for some time to come, as it will . be some months before the tedious legal chan nels ahead can be threatened. There are those here who venture the opinion that that it will never come to tria again. As is generally known, the Anson citizens were indicted undr an act of 1893, which makes it a felony to "at tempt to lynch," and provides punish ment thereor of from 2 to 15 years. In the revised code important sections of the act are omitted either inten iionauy or inadvertently, it was on ,1 -I I this rock that the ship of state struck The prosecuting counsel's plans were all upset and unless something unfore seen occurs in the morning further pro gress in the prosecution for the alleged lynching of John V Johnson is barred until the Supreme Court has interpre ted the revised statutes bearing upon the case.
