Plant Rape.

| notice several experiences with rape
in a season of drought will add my
mite to the list As many of your read
ers are aware. | have been an advocate
Of the use of rape as a forage crop for
several years, accompanying my faith
by my works. Last season was one of
the most satisfactory to US in the grow
ing and use of this crop. The first piece
was sown in drills about May l and
was used early in August, being only Of
medium growth. About May Is two
acres Of old sod ground were plowed,
rolled down and pulverized with.,a disk
harrow, after which it was worked over
once each week either with disk or
Acme harrow until June Is, when
about five pounds of rape seed per acre
was sown broadcast with a seeder, har-
rowed with light harrow and rolled
down in dust bed. One light shower on
this dust started the rape, and on Aug.
20 we began cutting this piece to haul
out to our lambs. 1t was all the green
feed we had OH the farm From a care
full estimate believe that 10 to IL tons
per acre was taken off, and on Oct 20
there was second growth, almost equal
to the first being fed off.
About June 10 another piece of five
acres of sod was plowed and worked
the same as the first and sowed in the
same way on July 10, which, owing to
the excessive drought did not come up
until the middle of August, when a
shower started it, and from that time
to this Inever saw more rapid growth.
This believe would have yielded nearly
20 tons per acre when the sheep were put
on it about the 9TH of October. One of
my men who was reared in Shropshire,
England, and was used to handling the
rape crop there on the best sheep farms,
says he never saw better crop. | have
only seen one piece equal to this, and
that was an early sown piece this season
at the Wisconsin experiment station.
Let me say to every owner of sheep:
Set aside piece of land for rape
Ii you have rich piece that raises
a crop of early potatoes or barley or
even winter wheat, if plowed immedi-
ately after removing the crop and well
worked, give it trial with rape. Do
not sow your whole farm to it, but try
small piece. George McKerrow of
Wisconsin in Breeder Gazette.

The squash Vine Borer,

OF late years the squash vine borer
has become an unusually we'll known
pest in all parts of New York state and
especially on Long Island and in the
vicinity of New York city. Although
not feeding above ground, it's presence
is plainly indicated by the appearance of
the affected vines, which at first turn to
very light Shade of green and then
suddenly wilt and finally wither and
die. AS the larvae live within the vines,
except for II short time Immediately
after coming from the egg, the applica-
ton of insecticides, however, efficient in
other cases, would be of little or no val
ne here.
In small gardens the practice of cut
ting the borers out as soon as the vines
begin TO show signs of injury has been
found to be n thorough and practical
remedy, If the part is Immediately COW
cred with moist earth the vines do not
seem to suffer injury from the wound.
Some growers practice covering the base
of the vine as far as the third or fourth
joint to strengthen the growth. Many
farmers delay planting their late squash
es us long as possible without endanger-
ing the crop The field should be ferti-
lied heavily 90 give the vines vigor-
Gus growth From all appearances those
farmers on Long Island who have had
the best success in combating this insect
are those who have watched for and de-
stroyed eggs, larvae and moths. -Bul

Cutting Potato Seed.

We do not approve of using small po-
tatoes for seed. Neither do we approve
of using one eye pieces 1t seems to us
that what is needed is to give the start
ing shoots sufficient nou1ishment from
the seed pieces until the shoots, through
their own rootlets, can support them
selves. Just why we oppose the use of
small potatoes for seed we cannot say,
further than that we have uniformly OBJ
tanned smaller crops from their use than
from large potatoes cut to two Or three
eyes or more. Rural New Yorker.
