The Question Box.


Aari. Editor, MiLIedgeuilIe, Ga: DEAR
SIR-Can you, or some of the farmers in
communication with you, help me out of
my trouble, by telling me through the
Agricultural Department of the WEEKLY
NEWS how to stop the ravages Of a little
burrowing pest, called, by some persons,
''salamanders." and by others ''sand-min-
ers" They have teeth like beaver, and
bite off pecan trees 4 or 5 years old, and
peach trees four or five inches in diamter.
Holt, Fla, Dec. IL. c. R w.
We hope some of our readers in the
''land of the salamander" will come to the
help of &C. R W." Any one who has had
a practical success in DISCRIMINATING the So
called 'salamander," which we assume can
only be done satisfactorily with the aid of
poison. is invited to give his experience. 1t
is not common to Middle Georgia, but is
very abundant in the thin pine soils Of
lower Georgia and Florida
Has &C. R. w." made any effort to poison
them!
"B. T. r." asks if the "Bush Butter Tor
Lima bean is a catch penny novelty or is
really valuable addition to our list of
garden vegetables"
We have no hesitation in saying that it
will doubtless prove the latter in every par
ticular. 1t may be several years before
Their dwarf habit is so well established that
there will be few or no sports from its
dwarf feature. OF the two varieties now
generally catalogued by the Scotsman
we have only tested the Henderson dwarf,
which is certainly very desirable variety.
The Burpee dwarf lima is said to be superior
TO the Henderson by those who have given
both a trial. The bean is much larger, and
the plant is said to be more productive.
Thus far the seeds have been so high it has
prevented the extensive trials that these
dwarf beans will get hereafter. The cat
alogue price Of the Burpee for the past year
was IS cents package -four seed to the
PACKAGE. AS the season was not favorable,
and many seeds failed to grow, the crop
was not what it was hoped it would be, and
seeds will still be very high. Our old run
Mug butter bean will continue to be the
preference of many, however successful the
new dwarf kinds prove. their value and
success being already established.
