east rain when the wind blows the bloom
Off makes the smut OF scab one On the
Robarts Farm OH this road an average
crop ID made. Nosmut. The Borton y
wheat. Soaked ii in blaestonc-- .dways
do--never havcit Old Pleasant Chand-
Ter once told Mr.. Robarts he soaked all his
seed wheat Ia blue stone save one half
bushei. This he planted to ITSELF Where
the wheat come up there was not sign OF
smut except from that bushel that
wasn't soaked. He believed smut to come
from cracked grains. Mr.. Pinchback I'VE
miles from Yanceyville- regard as one
Of the best farmers III the county. He has
made more than an average crop Of wheat
this year. No smut. Never had any.
Always soaked in bluestone. He says mo-
body ever heard Of smut In wheat till ma
chimes come in fashion that SO long as
they tread and frailed the wheat there was
no smut. He believes smut to come from
cracked grains from thrashing machine.
And another thing farmers don't let
their wheat get as ripe as 1t ought to--be-
cause not so ripe 1t makes whittier flour.
Mr.. Pinchback certainly has curiosity in
the way ola
STACK OF WHEAT.
This Is Just one OF HIS stacks. Twenty
bushels to stack ii a right good pack.
But this stack holds hundred bushels.
He used5 hands to do the hauling and
stacking. Three hands ON the stack.
Two In the wagon throwing out the wheat.
The third hand on the stack stays there
and carries the outside course around and
keeps the heads high enough so as for the
water to drain ofi'and allow for the wheat
sinking next to the pole. This hand also
throws to the two who are stacking while
the two in the wagon throw TO him. This
wheat stack Is monster
II THE CORN.
Everybody has good crop OF corn.
Mr.. Pinchback's corn is fine. His plan Of
cultivating Is this:
No good crop Of corn can be made with
out strong team. A man should go to
mill for his horses as he would for himself.
keep hogshead In my cutting room.
And always barrels Of meal In it-meal-
or brand--or ofiil Of some sort. plow IA
inchs deep. When you get through weed
ing corn and commence blowing IL the Sc
cond time You should drop the guano in
the furrow YOU run next 10 the corn. The
next fnrrow covers mp the guano. This
pays better than TO put the guano with the
corn: for this makes only the stalk ;
whereas my plan makes the ear.
TOBACCO.
Mr.. Pinchback raises good tobacco. lie
has this year 80 10 100 thousand hills Of
fine tobacco. He uses Peruvian Gnano
and Stable Manure. IL red land he puts
ashes in 80 as TO change the quality Of the
tobacco.
GAPS IN CHICKENS.
