Buekwheat as a Green Crop.

j. E. Hartley, Kennedyville, Md,
writes s& AAs
1 sometimes read of buckwheat being
sown and then turned under to act as fer
tilizer for the permanent improvement of
worn-out lands. Is there any virtue in it?
If so, at what stage Of growth should it be
'plowed under How much should be
sown to the acre, &C.. =? Some of our seeds
men advertise pea-vine Tor saplin) for the
same purpose Do you know anything of
it? By noticing this through the columns
of your paper you will greatly oblige me.
I Ans,Oer.-In the actual amount of ferti-
LIKING matter contained the buckwheat
ranks fifth, but in its adaptability to poor
soils it ranks second throughout the South
and first in the North. We say this be-
cause in the South the cow-pea can be
grown, and it has no superior as a green
crop for fertilizing poor soils, clover alone
excepted, but it will flourish on lands
where clover will not take root. If you
can get the true Southern cow-pea from
any friends in North Carolina it will grow
on the sandy lands of Maryland IF the
Southern people properly appreciated the
value of this plant, which nature has given
specially to them, they might make it a
mine of wealth. If this is the pea you
mean by all means try it.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The President,
Secretary of the Interior and General Sher-
man, had a consultation to-day on the Mo-
doc question. This was the first formal
consultation of the subject by the officers
of the Government and preliminary steps
were taken to determine the point at issue
namely: "What shall be done with the
Modoc prisoners
In the first place it seems to be the un-
Outstanding that the Secretary of the In
terror has no power of direction in the
present action. The Indians having vio-
lated their treaty obligations by resorting
to hostilities and thus placed themselves
beyond the care and superv ision of the
Department.
Secondly, the United States troops, hay
ing conducted operations against them,
then their custody belong to the military,
the same as prisoners of war, captured
or.surrendered, or other persons taken in
arms against the authority of the United
States and guilty of atrocious acts
Third. These premises being settled, the
question as to what shall be done with the
Modoc prisoners, whether they shall be
tried by military commission or remit
ted to the civil courts, will be submitted to
the Attorney General by the military au-
thorlty lor ms opinion, which will govern
Ihe law In the case, and in this cause. the
PRESIDENT, Secretary, of the Interior and
General Sherman are in session.
