SOME TmHLY SUGGESTIONS. How to P, oduce a Profitable Crop of , Wheat. The Charlotte Oil & Fertilizer Company and the President of the Company, Mr. Fred Oliver, of Charlotte, N. C., have again demonstrated on their I farms what can be done towards prohty able wheat raiting. The 250 acres which they had in wheat thiaveaf gave an av- j rage yield of 30 bushels j*r acre; one field of 30 acres crave an average yield i of 34 bushels, another held of 90 acres , gave an average yield of 38 bushels per , acre. A held of 60 acres that was id wheat a year ago, sown by the former owner of the laud, and which last year yielded only eight bushels per acre, this year gave an average yield of 24 bushels to the acre. With such an lilustration of what can be done by progressive farmiug, why will the majority of farmers continue to be satisfied, or, if not satisfied, continue to curse their luck when their crop of wbeatturnsout only five to tea bushels per acre? There is uo reason, aud in fact, it is a crime for any farmer to throw away his time and land by growing such a poor crop, 1 as me most 01 meui UUH imoo WUCU they could treble ami quadruple the yield by intelligent and progressive farming. They must use better mules and ploughs to prepare the soil, using ! the best disc grain drills, having fertil- j izer distributors attached to plant and fertilize the wheat, using the best seed wheat even if it does cost a few cents per bushel more money, using not less than 4QJ lbs. high grade complete fertilizer per acre instead of 100 lbs. of low grade acid and acid potash goods. Seed wheat that is free from brokeD and de- J fective wheat, and above all almost nb- ' solutely free from cockle seed ib worth twice as much for seeding as the seed wheat usually used. Still more important is the fact that seed wheat from a crop that gave a yield of 30 to 30 bushels per acre is superior to seed wheat from a crop that gave only five to ten bushels per acre. No farmer will at- ' tempt to raise mules and horses to weigh 1,400 to 1,600 lbs. each and expect to sncceed if he uses for breeding, ] stock that weighs from 500 to 300 lbs. ; j no breeder of high grade milch cows will expect to succeed except by using high grade stock. Last, but not least, they must use high grade fertilizer if j the farmers expect to receive proper return* from lanrl and labor. Why be satisfied by using ILK) lbs. per acre of cheap, low grade fettilizer when 400 lbs. of high grade fertilizer will give an increase of 15 to 25 bu-bels per acre? It costa do more, or very little more, to prepare the land for a good crop thau for a poor one; it costs no more to drill j in good need wheat, and400 lbs,of high | grade fertilizer, per acre, thaQ to drill < in poor seed wheat and 1(H) lbs. of poor, cheap fertilizer per acre; it costs no more to cat an acre of good wheat with ta reaping machine than it does to ran { the machine over an acre of poor wheat, and the reaping machine leaves less wheat in the field ungathered if the crop is a good one than it does if the crop is a poor one. The farmers of the aonth have the best market for their ; wheat, corn and hay of any section in the United States, as they can obtaiu the same prices as the western farmer pins the freight that is charged from the west to the south. Why not then farm on a profitable plan and not au unprofitable one? Use {rood stock ami tools, good 6eed and fertilizer, good judgment and skill in handling labor and machinery, and above alt work yourself as an example to yonr hired help, and you will find profitable *100 Reward. tlOO.

PoVrtson, President of the Borough School Board, said: "The regular buildings will again, as heretofore, fail to take in all children of school age. and we have been considering every possible expedient to prevent, the old resort to half-day classes. Nothing suggested appears so promising as the portable structures, which will cost little and can be easily erected, and as easily removed when desired. Plans are now under way for thorn. The minuter 01 me | buildings will depend upon the report now in preparation by Superintendent Ward, who will inform the Hoard where the structures are most needed and where it is possible to erect them.' Japan and Camphor. Within a year tin: camphor trade cf the world has become a monopoly. The trees which yield this fragrant ami useful guui are to be found all over Asia and the East Indies, hut the principal production from them is confined to the Island of Formosa, which belongs to Japan. China was never able to furnish more than lXHi.000 pounds a year, and Japan now produces about 300,000. Formosa's annual output for several years past has been between U.OOO.OOO and 7.000.00O pounds. Little Is to be had at present from any other source, and there is no prospect of any change in the situation for a long time to come. In deciding to exercise control over the production of ecuiphor, Japan lias been actuated by two motives, in tiie tirst place, she wants to obtuin revenue therefrom, as France does from the match and cigar industries. But she also seeks to avert the killing of the goose which lays the golden eggs for her. Ill other words, she has undertaken to protect the camphor forests, which were in danger of extinction.
