GOOD LATE CROPS.
Buckwheat, Rye and Roots Are All SsAe

Buckwheat, Rye and Roots Are All S.S
to BE Profitable.
Buckwheat and rye for fall and win.
ter pasture, turnips. rutabagas ano
winter cabbages can be sown In many
cases after the wheat and oatk are har-
vested and yet give a good yleio a
good way to put in rye is to sow the
seed broadcast among the corn just be-
fore the last cultivation In majority
of cases, unless the corn is foul with
weed seeds. this is all that viii oe
necessary. By the time the corn Is har.
vested and hauled of the rye viii have
made such q growth as to afford con-
siderable amount of feed in the fall
and early winter.
Buckwheat is good crop to grow for
green manuring. Its quick growth, in
addition to the effect produced upon the
soil. places it next to clover to plow
under as green fertilizer
Wheat or oat stubble can be broken
up and the seed sown broadcast and
narrowed in and a sufficient growth
will be secured before frost to turn un-
der a good layer as fertilizer If de-
sired, in anything like a fair season.
good crop of grain may be secured
Buckwheat makes good Feed for win

vantage
OF the three root crops rutabagas
should be sown first, IS they require
longer time to make good growth
than the others Turnips should be
sown next, if any difference is made,
and then the radishes, although good
plan is to mix turnip and radish seeds
From the middle to the latter part of
July is considered a good time to sow
| the seed The best rule to follow Is to
sow whenever the soil Is in condition
to secure a good termination Prepare
the soil nicely and then sow the seed
| Just after a rain, sowing broadcast,
| taking pains to scatter as evenly as
possible over the ground and then
cover with a light harrow or brush
| These can often be soVn where early
crops have already matured and may
| be considered catch crops because they
occupy the ground only a short time,
and that to a considerable extent after
the first crops have made their growth
| Of course in a very dry season these
crops viii often prove failure, par
tally or wholly. but in an average sea-
son very fine as we'll as profitable yields
can be secured, and those that cannot
be marketed profitably can always be
fed to stock to an Observation-Disclosures

The War on Insect Pextx

Tint spraying is necessary to save
our fruit crops seems to have become
the accepted opinion among fruit
growers The agricultural press and
the station have distributed full infor-
nation broadcast over the land
Spraying machines have improved until
there are number that can be relied
on to do efficient work 1t Is now war
to the end But SO many viii neglect
to take any part in the warfare that
the supply Of insect pests will be kept
up from year to year There Is only
one redeeming feature about it: those
who neglect to fight viii have little
fruit to put on the market in competi-
ton with the diligent fruit grower who
saves his crop.-Farm and Fireside-
