Fnn Worl. on the Fnrm.

At this season the farmer becomes so
absorbed in the effort to save his cotton
crop that he is liable to delay or entirely
neglect the seeding of fall crops. The SOW
ing of grain crops in autumn and also
the seeding Of the grasses and clovers ac-
complish a twofold object. We add other
crops to our farm supplies, and by thus
covering the bare fields we prevent the
teaching and working that occur where
only summer crops are cultivated, says an
exchange.
Experience tells US that the fall of the
year is the best time to sow oats, from
September on, according to locality. Not
only is the yield greater and the grain of
superior qual&y, but if X SHOULD be winter
killed, which occasionally happens We
have still another chance IN the spring
sOwings.
At the south the wheat crop is uncer-
tain but each farmer should at least raise
enough to supply home wants. This crop
must be sown according to locality about
ten days before the usual killing frost,
according to southern Cultivator. The
authority quoted advises in selecting to
choose the red beared kinds of Mediter-
ranean origin. High lands and red soils
are best suited to this crop.
Our system of shallow blowing and then
turning the land out after crops are gath
cred is responsible for most of the scanned
and quilted fields of the south. Where
the sowing of clover or grass is not prac-
ticable, there is always the fall Oat crop,
and at later dates, up to December, rye
and barley. If there are difficulties in the
way of sowing these crops, we have the
alternative of deep fall blowing.
on many of the pine thickets which
disfigure our southern farms, lespediza or
Japan clover, could be sown. 1t is best
suited to stiff soils, and in such situations
fourishes. 1t is good for pasture, ami
while furnishing food for stock will grad
ually fill the worn soil with nitrogen and
humus. the two ingredients of which We
stand most in need.

Two Superior Grasses for the south


This grass is much better known to
some of our readers than many of those
we have named 1t will flourish on soils too
wet for the successful growth of some
species, and at the same time it will do
much better on poor hill tops and sides
than many other grasses.
Another common name for this grass
is Herds grass. 1t is also known as Burt
grass It is a perennial and grows from
two to three feet high and even higher
than this on very rich soil. It is adapted
to either hay or pasture. When designed
for hay it should be cut before the seeds
form, else it becomes coarse and the stock
do not relish it. In pasturing, 1t should
be kept graZed tolerably close.
Red top forms an immense quantity OF
roots, and this quality enables II to dry
off wet land on which it grows and gets
it in good condition for cultivation. II IS
a good grass to combine with others, Of
ten making a good catch where others ran
In nutritive quality, ii IS about equal 10
orchard grass and other commonly used
grasses; but as a. rule, stock do not relish
the hay as well as they do some other
grasses.
1t is a very good grass to include in mix
lures for medium land but il is not to be
grasses will thrive.
The red top is specially adapted to wet
soils-soils too wet for cultivation-or for
the successful growth of other grasses and
clOvers.
Either for hay or pasture purposes IL IS
always advisable to use a mixture, rather
than trust to one single species, and often
it will be found a profitable thing TO in
clude one or two somewhat inferior
grasses or clovers.
In old countries it is common to have
mixture of ten or fifteen, for pasture pur-
poses especially. Some of these mixtures
adapted to our section of country will be
given later. a meadow or pasture seeded

There are few crops that, when well
grown, give more satisfaction and profit

ings can be made almost every month in
the year. Though this is the case, more

which frequently proved to be worthless
from age, piowed IL on the hills, as they
would so much rye or oats, and met the
failure and disappointment that were in
evitable. This was cited as an experiment
that proved to them that such and such
glass was not suited to our soils and eli
mate. Their conclusions. altogether err
roneous, had a lasting influence in them
selves and unfortunately extended to
Others. What loss to southern agricul-
ture has been effected by these hasty
conclusions, based upon imperfect expert
ments.
The requirements of successful grass
culture may be summed up in a few
words, enlarge upon them to whatever
extent we may.
Good seed sowed in proper quantity
at the proper time on good soil that
has been properly prepared, and with
the sowing properly made. Will pro-
duce the same success in orchard grass
culture here that il does anywhere else.
The soil should be thoroughly pre-
pared by the pillow and harrows, and two
and half TO three bushels of seed sOWed
as evenly as possible. Then the soil
should be rolled. AS orchard grass
grows in tussocks like brOomsedge, il is
a good plan to mix some redtop seed and
some red clover with it, making a mix
ture in the proportion of six OF eight
pecks of orchard grass, ten or twelve
pounds of clover seed, and three or four
pounds of redtop seed.
Orchard grass makes as good a winter
pasture as blue grass. 1t grows very lux
uriantly after each rain. once well es-
tablished on good land with reasonable
care it viii endure for many years and

Did any of our readers give Sacaline a
trial this year? If so. What was the con-
cftfsion?
A great deal can be done this month to-
wards making the farm and the garden
greater success next year, than it will
be if the proper work now is left undone.
Wherever it is possible by all means DO it.
September was very dry month next
to the driest in many years. On the "a OF
the month something over quarter OF an
inch of rain fell. At this date lOct. 81 1t
is about as dry and dusty on the surface
as il could well be. A cold wave put in
its appearance in the last day of Septem-
her, but the temperature did not get be-
low 46. The wind changed promptly from
northwest to cast which affected the mass
of humanity as 1t did Mr.. Jarndyce in
Bleak House and they shlvered and shiv-
cred. The CRATES and the stoves were all
unlimbered for action. OVercoats were tax

perhaps, was the injury to pastures. The
latter, except in very low latttudes, can

The dry weather has also prevented the
establishment of the turnip crop, crop
of great value when properly priced ana
made use of. Even in Central Georgia,
we have time and again made very eX-
cellent crops of turnips sown as late as
Oct 10. When sown late do not thin out
so closely. There will be plenty of tur-
nips plenty large for table use. For spring
use it is we'll to make a sowing very late
in the fall, and if the winter is not too
severe the turnips will renew their growth
after the cold weather is over.
Sweet potatoes are more than likely TO
take fresh growth when the rain does
come, and this renders them likely to lack
the keeping qualities that they usually
possess. This is so only when the pota-
toes had come to an absolute standstill
in September.
There will be less cotton in the fields on
Nov. than has ever been the case in the
history of cotton culture. Present prices
have stimulated farmers to keep up with
the picking more closely than they ever

other plants to grow in the place OF the

they should be cut back this winter within

there are any vacancies you can set strong
plants and work in about them some good
fertilizer. At this stage you can, with a
little extra care, make them take hold and
grow off, but two or three years from
plants will grow off rapidly next year.
Some good manure should be worked in
along the hedge this winter taking pains
TO enrich all the poorer spots. Where the
growth has not been so good, give plenty
of NITROGEN but not too much. Apply
phosphate. Spread il along on each side

The new celery culture, like the new
onion culture, is the result OF intensive
gardening. 1t means larger and better
yields to the same area. The new culture
for celery consists of a system Of close
planting. by which a part. at least, OF
the stalks can blanch in the shade OF
their own foliage. Rich soil and proper
mechanical conditions of the surrounding
earth are presupposed. Plants are sci
about five inches apart and the rows ten
inches apart. Very rich soil is required
and plenty Of water for best results.
