tates the return of those chemicals to the
soil. The plant drawing least upon the
atmosphere is best for thus holding and
returning chemicals to the soil. Crab
grass, as Mr.. Mann justly remarks, feed
ing more from the soil than the atmos-
phere, cannot be the best improver of
soils. But Mr.. Mann seems to look only
to the facts contained in the idea of the
green growth returning to the soil what
it takes from it. But we must add to this
influences [ have already mentioned, to-
gether with the fact that if properly
turned under all green crops not only re-
turn chemicals but fair amount of hui
mus, also an element very much needed
for holding chemicals and retaining mOis-
ture in all sandy soils. But let us not
Jump to the conclusion that because crab
grass is good in the middles to retard
and bring back chemicals and supply
humus it is good also under the trees
and the rows for these purposes. This is
just where the mistake of the green cult
urist comes in. The trees are doing this,
Except giving humus) and under the
trees even green crops, howeverg good, can
do but little, for they cannot be turned
under without tearing up the roots ofthe
tree, and doing more hurt than the humus
is worth Moreover we must remember
that all crops impoverish thesoilin chem
ical and moisture, consequently your
grass under the trees, supplying nothing
and being of no service in protecting the
the soil, is simply robber Danish it to
the middles and keep it there, narrowing
it's sphere year by year.

growth of grass in immediate contact
with the roots of small trees during dry
weather will be injurious to it's growth,
but | certainly think that at least the
middles, during the rainy season, should be
built up by the accumulation of vegeta-
BILE matter. By applying large quantities
of artificial fertilizers, and keeping the
soil constantly stirred, the growth of the
orange tree may be greater for few
years than where the green culture

expensive and exhaustive system, and as
far as my observation extends, groves

Curing Pea Vine Hay-The Stake Plan

A plan for curing COW peas was recently
published in the AGRICULUTRIsT. [ send
you another:
Let the vines remain until nearly all the
peas are ripe, then procure straight,
smooth poles from one and a half to two
inches in diameter, seven feet long; sharp
en- the ends, drive the poles into the
ground about one foot; then cut or
break the vines from the roots and gather
into small bundles as high as the top of
the stake and force the stake through the
bundle and press gently to the ground.
Then proceed until the stake is full to the
top, Dut do not press too hard or pack
too closely; leave them tolerably loose,
so as to give air, and do not let the stack
be over two feet through, so ais to prevent
their curing.
Peas put up this way in fair weather
will cure nicely in ten days to two weeks,
and the leaves will remain on the vine,
and you will have an excellent hay, with
grain added, far superior to any other
feed. If the vines are thick and long,
wrap them into bundleso as to form an
oblong shape. Thirty to forty stakes
will cure an acre of vines.

Our busy time has commenced. Farm
ers in this section and along the line of
the Tavares, Apopka and Gulf Railroad
are making preparations to plant largely
in vegetables this fall and winter. The
indications now are that the acreage will
double last seasons planting. 1t was
estimated that over one hundred thou
sand crates passed over the Tavares,
Apopka and Gulf Railroad line (which is
only twenty-nine miles long) last year.
This part of Lake county has large
area of fine hammock and bay land suit
able for vegetable growing of all kinds
and the pine lands are very fine and pro-
duce wonderful crops of tomatoes, and
the favorable protection from frost
around the lakes makes this section com
paratively free from injurious frosts
The tomato land is mostly plowed and
many have already planted, and some
fields of tomatoes are already up. Also,
Valentine beans have been planted for a
fall crop, and are looking fine. Some
patches are nearly ready to blossom.
