for the eight rowed early varie-ties
is about 100 days, but the gourd
seed varieties require from ISO to 160
days from the time of planting to full
maturity. The different varieties give
different results in their analysis. The
most starch is found in the Tusearora
corn, the most oil in the Popcorn, and
the most gluten in King Philip corn.

food, but the soft varieties are

vanced some strong and original ideas
and urged many most excellent reasons
why the road should be built. He
spoke of the Dan River coal flelds in
terms of high commendatiou and of the
iron ore in close juxtaposition—and
beiug himself a professed mineralogist
he has a right to speak according to
the '• testimony of the Rocks" to use it
favorite phrase of his own. The people
seemed all to be of one opinion—that
we must have something done in the
way of Railroads for this border coon
try both in Va. and N. C. or else we
would continue to retrograde as we
have been doing now several years.—
We are now too weak to rise of our
own help. We must have assistance.
But we must show a disposition to help
ourselves. It is idle to suppose that
we shall have Railroads built without
making some sacrifice—either in the
way oftaxatinn orcontribution of lands.
Nobody will build these invaluable

allow us to reap the profit. We must
put "our shoulder to the wheel in some
way or other. Times will continue to

deepening—briers spreading wider- -
lands impoverishing. —It requires cood
liiiul to yield a profit with hired labor.
Our people are leaving. There is no
life—no spirit of improvement— apathy
and dejection in a large |tortion of
what was one a most magnificent por-tion
of the South. I allude to the
country between Danville Va. and Mt.
Airy, X. C. including the coal field
country on DM River. The best talent
is required now to devise ways and
means for recuperation. Says one:
'•Turn out the Radical Party and put
us in/' Very well. If it can be done.

situation |Militicnlly at present and it
may require some time.—But in the
mean time what shall we do—iierish J

not give undue inqiortituce to politics.
