Prices of Broom Corn.
JAMES MOTT.

Facts sufficient to base fair estim ate
of this years broom corn crop are now
obtainable. The yield of the Central
Illinois district, comprising the counties
of Coles, Douglas, Edgar and Moultrie,
will reach 10000 tons. This is. perhaps,
half of the entire crop of the country.
1t is thought that seven-eighths of this
years crop is already sold. The quality
is not up to an average, the growth hav-
ing been retarded by drouth and the
brush damaged by rain and insects. The
yield fell fully 20 per cent short of the
estimate by the growers. The price
this year has run from $40 to $12O, and
the average has been about 800 per ton.
Last years crop was one of the best ever
raised in point of quality, and yet sold
for $40 to $65. Whenever the price falls
below $50 the farmer loses money, for
the expense of harvesting and putting it
on the market is very great.

Why Send Abroad ?

I made a note of Mr.. Baldwin s timely
suggestion of warning against our anna
teur nurserymen sending abroad for
buds to make up for our loss at home
from the recent great cold The facts
are, there is no other country that pro-
duces better varieties of oranges than
we do We have oranges that we gather
from the trees every month in the year,
and is that not enough Why should
we look to other sections for something
strange or new ? There has been too
much already done in importing trees
from those old, insect infested lands, and
I wish it might stop. There is plenty
of such wood left, only hunt for it. as
diligently as we have heretofore hunted
for something new to import.
I don't want any other varieties than
those | had in nursery, and hope | am
cleaned out as nicely as anyone else in
Florida, but can follow up the many
trees I haYe sold and find plenty not
killed for all the buds will want, and
likely some to spare.
| have already found enough and en-
gagged them.
I would hope the insect pests that we
have been so eager to import for the past
decade could be frozen to death, but |
am afraid they will die hard, and that
few years will see the same old lot on
us again; but, with Mr. Baldwin, | say let
us not import any more.

have been watching the outcome of my
venture in the Rowell Bud.
Little did l think it would be put to
the test so soon and in my own grove.
Now this bud is some two inches under
the ground alive and sound. Will it send
up new top? believe it will, but time
alone Can tell. Ii it does by next fall the
top will be of nice size, and wood firm,
and in no danger hereafter. But had
this bud been above the ground the trees
would have been dead beyond question.
My figs are injured but little and quite

melon papaw plants, and, strange to say,
few tomato plants were untouched.
[ also Investigated one hill of the Ot-
ahiti yam (this is something more should
have growlng) and found the potatoes
unharmed in the least, and as was
longing for some good Irish potatoes or
what was just as good I took this potato
to the house and. TO- it weighed just
twenty-five pounds. 1t would take a
chapter to tell of the good things to be
said of this vegetable, so desist for this
time, but in the future may have some
thing-to say.
The above is about as things are at
this point.
So after all had something left me
by the cold besides the rheumatism.
And now the Avon Park tram road is to
be built, and that soon, by this place and
on to Heines City. The excellence of
our pines, tomatoes and other tender
fruits and vegeta bles and our immunity
from injurious frosts as general thing
will soon become known as it has never

Weevil in Cow Peas and Corn.

W66V1l IN OOW foaS ana UOrn.
Concerning this subject, beg you to
permit me to say few words to your
readers. / read very often in the AGRI
CULTURl ST and other papers inquiries as
to how to destroy weevils in cow peas
and in corn.
That is an impossibility.
Let me ask first at what time the in
sect takes possession of the grain, what
are it's habits and how it passes the
winter.
If examine the roots of COW peas. I
find nodules on them which, when
opened, contain little white grub. So
the grub hibernates in the ro IT'S in the
ground. If l open green pea, find
the same grub in each pea. Gathering
the crop, the roots remain in the soil and
the peas are put in barrels or bags.
Now, after time, the white grub in
the pea tranforms itself into weevll a
perfect form of the insect, and then it
perforates t e skin of the pea and flies
out to procreate and perpetuata it's kind,
and lay It's eggs, probably in some rub
bish or in some roots, where you will
find it in the ground.
If use any substance strong enough
to produce the asphyxy Of the grub or
the weevil, the result is that instead of
it's escaping it dies there, and in cooking
the pea I eat the dead weevil! Thanks!
I do not like that. If | eat dry COW pes,
I prefer them when the insect is gone.
True, eat it in the green pea. but it
does not then seem so disgusting.
Now, how to destroy the weevil, or the
curculio of the plums and, perhaps, the
insect which forms the nodules in the
roots of the peach trees (anguilula), but
this last is only supposition. For the
rest, weevil and curculio, it is a certain
remedy, the only obstacle being that the
insect can come from the neighbors.
Here is the recipe:
bushels air Stacked lime
bushels hardwood ashes
600 grammes Orpiment.
The mixture being narrowed into the
soil, the white grub at the roots is killed

What the Freeze Left.


What the Freeze Left.
I thought it about time to crawl out of
my shell as the days are now somewhat
more balmy than those wot of.
Oh, me! it does make me feel tired
and feeble, too. when | come to look
around and see how much a northern
blizzard could accomplish in one night
and undo all the work I have done in
two long years, and then to have man
with good eyes say, why. didn't the
freeze leave you anything? When a
blind man could see it left me the rheu-
matism, and plenty of it. AS the last
few days have been more spring-like,
thought would venture out and see
what else was left me.
| found after careful observation that
out of nearly $4,000 pines on my place
there is not single one dead from the
cold The leaves on top are cut on most
of them, bus the lower leaves are all
green and of the old plants NUM- bers of
young fruit buds are showing out al
ready, and from actual count | found
but about two per cent of the hearts of
the old plants injured Thence | went
to a plantation of nearly 10000 young
pines planted last fall These feared
for the most, for had kept them grow
ing up to the day the cold struck them;
butt was surprised to find hem looking
decidedly Of a green color, and upon eX-
animation failed to find a single plant
that showed any signs of giving up the
ghost from the effects of the cold. True,
few had the hearts injured, about five
per cent, but then the lower leaves were
all green and by next June or July no
one will know that any of the surplus
energy of the far north had been to see
them at all.
From here went to my vineyard to
see how things looked and soon found
everything all O. k. not vine hurt in the
least.
Thence | examined my orange buds
and trees But here | did not find things
as could have wished them. | had a

After the roof had been successfully
ascended, they heard great noise by
the chimney, as though Santa had just
alighted, and then they heard him de-
scend the interior of the chimney; low
er and lower he came, until finally his
legs were in the room. and they kicked
ina very human and prosaic way. After
they had kicked for awhile, and no more
OF the visitors body appeared, it be-
gan to dawn upon everybody that Santa
was in difficulties. The children and
the older visitors sat staring at the legs
for few minutes, and then Mr.. Moon,
who was a man for an emergency, gall
lantly rushed to the rescue. He. seized
Santa's ankles and pulled with all the
force of pair of gymnasium-educated
arms, but he didn't seem to make any
leadway, for Santa yelled in voice
that sounded like a doleful cry from the
tomb that he was being wedged in
tighter than ever, and he implored the
company to do something for his relief.
The elders held council of war. Mr.
Brewster mildly suggested that it
would be good plan to send in a fire
alarm, but his wife crushed him with
look. and said that the only way she
saw was to take the bricks out of the
chimney; and she added: This comes
