The New Tannin Plant.

Fora number of years much interest
has been taken in a plant discovered in
New Mexico, that's known to be extremely
rich in tannin, and is supposed to be the
coming substitute for oak and hemlock
bark in tanning leather. 1t is called by
the common name of canaigre, pro-
nounced kana-ger, accented on thesecond
syllable. A paragraph now going the
rounds Of the press says of it:
The extensive cultivation of the canal
gre plant, which is found growing without
cultivation or irrigation in many por-
tions of New Mexico, is contemplated.
The tubers produced by this plant yield a
large percentage of tannin, superior to
that extracted from hemlock bark, and
not inferior to the oak bark product
The botanical name of this plant is
Rumex hymenosepalus, and it is closely
related to our common yard dock, also
to the rhubarb or pie plant. 1t is said to
thrive in the dryest season, and on any
character of land. There is little doubt
but that it would do we'll in the lower
South, and therefore our experiment
stations might do a good work by pro-
curing it from New Mexico, and giving
it fair test. If it proves so good for
tannin purposes as represented, and
can be easily raised here, it might be
made to create great revolution in our
leather interests. We can tan leather as
we'll here as it can be done anywhere else
in the world, provided we have the ma
terial with which to perform the work.
Shipping our hides off to be tanned in
distant parts, and then shipping back
the leather, either in sides or shoes, is
certainly great loss to us.

Plant Good Rice Seed.

Plant good seed rice The difference in
the cost between good and poor seed is
but a trife compared with the difference
in what the crop may net the planter.
Place a high estimate on the difference in
cost of seed-say $500 per barrel-which
will plant three acres. This ought to net
you thirty barrels. and if the best of seed
has been used will bring you $500 to
1926 per barrel, while if Inferior seed has
been planted $500 per barrel would be
about the average, making net differ
ence OF $28 or $50 per sack between the re.
turns of the two grades of seed. Tt can
be nothing less than penny wise and
pound foolish policy to knowingly plant
anything but the best grade OF Seed

Our Sandy Soils"

VUA 0nAuy OV4AS'
1t is quite generally understood at a
distance that the soils of our coast belt
country, as about Mobile, for instance,
are s'poor sandy soils" and therefore soils
not much to be desired by the agrlcult-
urist. The idea Of what a poor sandy
soil consists OF, is gathered from a knowl-
edge OF the coast belt soils of the North
east, the State ofNew Jersey having them
represented in large area. A New Jersey
an, writing to the Country Gentleman for
information relative to some good way
for improving these soils receives, in
late issue of the paper, the following pre-
liminary to a lengthy reply:
The treatment of sandy soils will vary
with the diversity in their character
Some have heavy and wet subsOil, and
capillary attraction may bring up too
much moisture. This must be remedied
by understanding. Others have very
porous subsoil, and may carry down the
water and leave the soil too dry.
This, of course, describes the coast belt
soils of New Jersey, and any one familiar
with our soils will see at a glance that
our soils are not at all described We
may have some soil with heavy and
wet subsoil, but not much, and soils with
an open and porous subsoil arecompara-
lively scarce here.
AS a rule our soils are sandy loan
resting upon a clayey subsoil just open
enough to ensure perfect drainage, but
not open enough to rush off the moisture
to such an extent as will leave the soil
too dry. In this respect it is the best soil
like the Northern coast soils, and hence
the notion of it gained from what is
known of these Northern soils, is entire
ly erroneous.
Our coast belt soils stand the effects of
severe drouthl lmuch better than do clay
soils-we saw that fact fully demonstra-
ted last year. All through the season we
were passing back and forth between the
coast belt region and the clay regions
above, and we found the coast belt soils
suffering much less from drouth than
the clay soils, although the rainfall on
each had been the same.
Naturally our soils are not rich, but
they are far better in their natural condi
tion than are the coast soils of New Jer-
sey. 1t does not call for near the fertiliz-
ing materials to bring them up to good
standard that are necessary on the New
Jersey soils, for the reason that they are
better and it does notcost near so much to
keep them up on account of their clayey
character. Yet these New Jersey soils
are highly priced. Most of them are now
under culture. The region where they
abound ia denominated the garden spot
OF the East" The people working them

eye to see that the barks join properly
