RYE AS A FERTILIZER.

N. B. Worthington in the Maryland
Farmer" of May, says:
In the April number of Maryland
Farmer is paragraph headed Best
Tobacco Fertilizer which makes the
statement that DR.. Riggs, of Hartford,
Connecticut, recommends Rye as a
good crop to fertilize tobacco ground,
when turned under before ripening
This reminds me of having once made
very satisfactory trial to the same
effect, which having no occasion to re-
peat, however, l speak of only as in
some measure corroborative of DR..
Riggs practice of ten years.
Nothing is more sure than the fact
that for any extended and general sys-
TEN of improving our poor lands, we
must rely mainly on the growth and
direct application of suitable green
crops to the purpose of fertilizing them.
Another thing is as certain, that
great deal of the land we should i'm
prove, is below the point of which
clover alone can be proftably used
upon it. Moreover, we know, to our
sorrow, that of late years the growth
of clover has become very unsatisfac-
tory, and that on our best lands it is
rare to see really fine field of clover
Greatly and deservedly as it is valued,
therefore, there is urgent occasion for
some crop or crops to stand in meas
ure in the place of clover and to supply
its deficiencies While Rye cannot
compete with Glover in fertlizing quail
tiles, it will make very considerable
growth on ground where clover seed
would be thrown away Being a most
vigorous grower, it avails itself prompt
ly of favorable circumstances, and es-
specially responds to the use of the
heterogeneous and phosphate fertilizers.
A moderate use Of one of these is
perfect insurance almost of heavy
growth of rye on the poorest ground
That such growth turned we'll under
would add very largely to the fertiliz-
ing material of the soil, and at the
same time act chemically upon its min
eral constituents is more than probable.
A very material advantage of this
over Summer growing crops is the fact
that making it's growth in Fall and
very early Spring, it may be made so
quickly available for fertilizing pur-
poses. We wait two years for clover,
but rye sown in September is ready to
be plowed down by first of May. 1t
makes all its growth between the time
of cutting tobacco in Fall and planting
again in early Summer There is no
one of our Summer grown crops that
may not have the advantage of this
green crop.

POKE-RooT FOR DESTROYING INSECTS

DR. F. c. Renner, of Frederick Co.,
Maryland, writes to the Agricultural
Department that several years ago be
collected some poke-root (Phytolacca
decandra) for medicinal purposes, and
placed it at various places about the
house, to dry. After several days he
observed that there were many cock
reaches lying dead, and upon examina-
ton found they had been partaking
freely of the poke-root. Some of the
root was placed near their haunts, and
the result was that it rid the premises
of those insects. Since then he has
communicated the remedy to others,
who have tested it with satisfactory
results.

CoxenEss AND MS FAiLURf 3


With majority of over two-thirds
in both houses of Congress, the seven
months session rapidly approaches a
close without any likelihood, and hard
ly remaining possibility that any f.
nancial relief will be afforded the
country. Even the S26,OOO,OOO of re-
serves issued by the now degraded
Richardson have not been legalized.
Grant and his new Secretary of the
Treasury are left free to withdraw this
issue and contract the currency pro
tanto at their own sweet will. Wall
street operators are already disturbing
prices and making money off of their
dupes by predicting such contrac-
ton, which would be a perfectly
logical sequence of the Presidents lat
est memorandum concerning the fnan-
ces. Radicalism is unequal to the fnan-
cial problem, and confesses its inca
pacity, while in the full possession of
unrestrained power. So of hundred
other matters of government. 1t con-
fessed the sad need for civil service re-
form by pretending to undertake its
accomplishment, and now abandons it
In the most formal manner. Claiming
for Congress absolute power over the
transportation question, it has done
nothing whatever to remedy the loud
grievances on the subject. 1t has
reused the ridiculous conceits of the
negroes for social equality and misce-
genation without gratifying them. 1t
stands convicted before its own sup
porters, North and South, of hopeless
incompetency.

THE lack of harmony between the
President and Congress has been re-
peatedIy manifested, from the struggle
over the hief-Justiceship, at the open
ing of the session, down to their wide
divergence of financial views. There
is also an unusual amount of DISAGREE"
ment between the two Houses of Con-
gress. Bill after bill goes to a confer
ence committee, emily to be ultimately
killed in one or the other, until it seems
as though there was tacit understand
ing to divide in this manner the respon-
sibiIity of defeating measures which
they are both afraid to shoulder.

self, so to speak, into the Lebanon Her
aid, in the shape of six column speech,
delivered at Statesville, Middle Ten
nessee. Mr.. Head urges the repeal of
the ten per cent. maximum interest
law. Our people," he remarks, can
not. in their present condition, afford
to borrow capital at the rate of ten per
cent; and if they can get it at no less,
no harm Will be done if it Is driven
from among US" This sage observa-
ton. which should have been made
forty years ago, Will be accepted as suf-
ficien1 explanation Of our omission to
devote more than a single paragraph
to this gentleman, whose name Is evi-
IDENTIFY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AUd-
Idache.
And yet the AUeLanche is opposed to
paying the holders of our State bonds
more than three per cent. interest. Mr..
Head simply suggests the repeal of a
law which he regards as oppres-
sive in its operation. However
unwise, financially, his plan might
prove, it would not impair the validity
of existing contracts or have any other
retroactive effect.
The State promised in the most sol.
emn manner, when her bonds were
originally issued, to pay six per cent
interest thereon, and that pledge was
as solemnly renewed in the Funding
act of last year, but the Avalanche
now insists that the people are, as a
State, utterly unable to squeeze out
more than three per cent for the bond
holders, though it is ready enough to
laugh at Mr.. Head for suggesting that,
as individuals, they cannot afford to
borrow at ten per cent. We cannot ex-
actly see where the AudIanche'S consist
ency comes in.
