DOES NUT GRASS PROPAGATE FROM
SEED?

*x*
DOES NUT GRASS PROPAGATE IRON
SEED?
I have recently read Mr.. Till
mans article on destruction Of
"Nut Grass" and agree with hit
opinion in some particulars. His
policy of making a hard fight fol
it's determination ought to succeed
and if a sufficient amount of per.
severence is exercised, it will sue.
ceed.
He believes in making the con.
test in the summer time.
I am sure it is much easier to
exterminate in the winter. Nut
grass enjoys the sun, but cannot
stand freeze. I have tried both
plans, and have ceased trying to
destroy it in summer more than
the damage which occurs in fire.
quent working of the crops, which
is considerable.
Turn the land in the winter, after
severe freezes, light at first and
getting deeper at each turning, and
the large numbers of dead nuts on
the surface after the first rain sue
ceeding lhe freeze will prove that
this severe usage will soon make q
complete destruction of the nui-
sance.
Another difference in opinion is,
I think this grass does not propa-
gate from the seed. I thought so
until Prof. Newman, then the main
stay of Clemson College. declared
it was a mistake. 7 did not accept
his theory readily, but gathered
some seeds and mixed them thor
oughly with a quantity of soil, and
placed the soil in a box am ongst
my wife's flowers, where it was
cared for regularly, receiving wa
ter, proper temperature and light
for several months, and not a sign
of nut grass appeared. Other grass
seeds and weed seeds, which hap
pened to be mixed with the soil,
came up and grew until destroyed.
I then examined the seed with a
microscope, and upon opening the
soeas-with knife, found no Kernel
in them.
If Mr.. Tillman will make some
experiments, I think he will be
convinced that it will not propa-
gate from the seed. I will be glad
to learn the result of his test.

The longer the fattening hogs
are kept after they are in condition
for pork, the greater the loss. The
plan is to push them now to be
ready for the first cold spell in this
month or December, which is con-

and curing. See that their food is
in sufficient quantity without

WEEVILS IN PEAS.

When peas or beans are stored
over winter to be planted the fol-
lowing season, they become infest-
ed with weevils of O. similar nature
to the ones which are found in corn
and other grain. While the weevils
in peas and beans are of different
species scientifically from the wee
wills in corn, yet to all intents and
purposes, they are the same SO far
as their destructive influences are
concerned. The species which
works in our cow peas is very SIM
liar to those that infest the beans,
and as a rule the peas are infested
with weevils when they are gath
cred from the field. The weevils
continue their growth and propa-
gate in the peas when stored, and
in many cases by the time spring
opens, the peas will be destroyed.
REMEDY FOR THESE INSECTS.
There is no occasion for any loss
by these insects, for the simple
remedy given last month for the
corn weevils, is also applicable to
these pea weevils. So the remedy
is simply this: Pour a small
amount of bisulphide of carbon
over the infested peas. This is best
done by placing the peas in a box
or grain bin, SO that the fumes

Georgia has turned out a 49,
pound pumpkin. It grew upon a
vine that covered one and one
fourth acres and had 113 pumpkins
that weighed 7,435 pounds. MIR.
John A. Tomberlin, Of Irwin
county, grew it in 1898. At least
the Atlanta Constitution says 30.
South Carolina grows some large
pumpkins itself and can probably
beat Georgia. But it cannot beat

On that bright Spring morning 1
strolled into my library and heard the
telegraph instrument ticking away
noisily in the corner. Mechanically
walked over to the table and picked
up the tape. With startled gaze l
read: Sugar, S225." Ihad bought my

and wrote this telegram to my brokers':
