CROPS THAT NAY BE PLANTED IN JUNE.

CROPS THAT NAY BE PLANTED IN JUNE.
II matter Of deep importance TO the consumer ana
should be one Of the first consideration to the farmer 10
the productions of the earth this year to the ut
most extent for il is matter OF certainty now tha' e
demands for human food will be such a. to keep up nsh
prices another year. There is scarcity oil al knus
grain and beefca.le and muon-sheep or ere 'e pse'
nces are mos, unaecounabe. The spring has been an
rrvo,h one for planting the usual spring crops and
tho winter wheat in several sections Is not likely TO pro-
aco fair average CROP In Virginia the chnch-oug the
;ontxorn and the fly have destroyed many fne prom
;ioc fields The Gy we hear, is also working oadiy IN
Indiana.
wp,e-ked In the south generally, corn has been kept
bsek by the cold We; spring and the prospect OF gTea
rars nowhere fai;erng. Under this state Of things the
duty and interest OF the farmer is plain. Plant more
grain. Ii If not YET TOO late.
y,d;cn Corn PLANTED before the tenth of June in the
latitude Of New York in favorable season, Will mature
But if II docs not it will arrive at state that will afford
most excellent food for attenng pork beef or mutton or
rcrcasuc the milk Of cows thus aiding materially in the
amount Of human iood.
l,f thous but little used for bread in this country
yet does afford good food and is very productive u
also an excellent grain for all kinds of stock particularly
monthly This grain may be sown in the fore part OF june
Eeoas of the small white field variety, VIII rIpen
PLANTED before the middle Of june # the season IL al al
favorable These afford more nutrment than any oInef
oa,ebe thing for the same cost and should be more largely
r,oduced and consumed than they are in this country
The only objection we ever heard TO raising beans as
field crop is the difficulty Of preserving them from damage
after they are pulled that curing the stalks and leaves
and immature pods This the easiest thing in the world
Set stake four or five feet high, and lay few stones
sticks or brush on the ground and then pile up the beans
around the stake in circle the roots in, and top Of by
,hrarc large bunch Of green vines over the top OF the
stake and no matter how green vet they were when
nut No. they will cure and keep well stack of hay
Peas are the next most important crop and though TOO
late 10 sow in June to do WELL there several varieties
,e, will get rpe if sowed before the middle OF the month
No better crop can be planted early or late for feeding
swine in the fields than peashat is such as we grow at
the North.
Brekrleot however, is the most important crop for
planting late in the Of any OF the substitutes for
bread 1t may be late as the first OF July though
the tenth Of June the proper time for sowing buckwhea'
II does not produce large yield probably 1t over tTen
r. or twenty-five bushels acre for an average Hall
tushel of seed upon good land Will be sufficient as the
more branches the productive Will be the crop. IL
is profitable crop as it easily cut and threshed upon the
field or il may be stacked and kept till winter Contrary
TO the generally received opinion buckwheai straw not
a bad substitute for hay.
As Ia the grain nobody will deny the good qualities OF
that as substitute for bread, because everybody loves
buckwheat cakes The only difficulty in the use OF as
food is the foolish notion that the flour must be ne and
very white n is ten times better when ground ana boted
go AZ TO leave portion of the hull with the Hour We
have doubt that if the huls were reground and boted
and the fine portions mixed with the -four notwithstanding
il would make il black, 1t would be one OF the greatest
improv ements Of the quality.
Farmers we beg of You to sow great crop OF buck
wheat The grain, besides its use for human food Is one
of the most valuable for poultry feeding and to i up
horse quick with sleek coat there is grain equal to
buckwhea For ordinary stock feed is not as valuable
as corn barley rye, wheat peas Indian corn shoald
never be planted upon buckwheat tubbe. We are not
aware that il Injuries any other crop
Turnips are, at all times of the most valuable
crops grown by the farmer. The beauty of it is that
urnips can be sown at any time from Februayto Novem-
beq; though according 10 Poor Richards Almanac,
The twenty fifth day Of July,
Sow your urniIs wet or dry"
There but little nutriment in the common white tur-
piIs vet they fill up with meat-eaters They are
good for that purpose with vegeable-edters Tor II Is not
good to live upon bread alone man may live upon TOO
strong diet without eating meat So all turnips
healthy if not very nutritious food And they can be
grown upon any rich land with dressing of super phos
rbae of lime if the seed is any time before the MD
die of August good crop of turnps upon mix pro-
ducing farm is of the most profitable that can be
raised and adds greatly 10 the amount of human food IN
the increased quantity Of milk Farmers GO not fail 10
SOW turnips
Beets may yet be planted and produce good crop. II
is no, too late TO retrieve the disasters of bad spring
Plant some Of the crops have Indicated and you will
reap greater harvest than you would by the most sue
cessu early planting Of any Of the common spring crops
No matter what you grow; everything that is eatable
will sell at high prices No, that there any prospect Of
a famine but that prices up, and it will take most
overwhelming supply to bring them down again this
season
The armies Of Europe will consume all the surplus
,bo,e md leave large vacuum TO be filed from this
country.
Al home we have an army of ralroadbuilders who
crea, consumers and who would al be producers if not
engaged and then have one constant stream OF mml-
Grants TO the number of three thousand day, all with
mouths ss open nest OF young robins Very few oil
those produce their own food the first year yet al must
be fed.
These are some of the of high prices and reasons
why they Will CONTINUE high and altogether sufficient rec
sons why the farmer shoud nue 10 prepare his land
for the seed and put it in the ground all the month OF June
and, in the case OF turnps, all July and August.
Remember this advice earnestly given for your good
and if you fail adopt H. you viii repent when II Is TOO
late.
