fall. This can be done in very sim
pie and effective manner by carefully
gathering all the parts of the aspara-
gus plants that are above ground and
burning them. 1t would be a waste
of time to stack the tops and leave
them to natural decay; and to place
them in manure heaps would be still
worse. The only safe thing to do
when a serious enemy like this is in
the asparagus field is to burn the
plants even to the last scrap that can
be gathered up. Let this be done at
once, for any delay means the break
ing up of the brittle, rusty plants and
a generous sowing of the spores up
on the ground. If the fire could go
over the whole field and burn all the
small as we'll as the large pieces, that
would be the best of all This autumn
burning should be done by every as
paragus grower, even if the rust is
not yet seen by him. This enemy
may become very serious if thorough
measures are not taken at once and
by all who are engaged in asparagus
culture.

Quality Of Vegetables

There is great difference in quality
of vegetables aside from their fresh
ness. 1t is due to their methods of
growing. All roots need to be grown
quickly, which require that the soil
be rich and moist. If the soil is poor
or dry, the roots will be stringy and
unfit either for human use or feed
ing. At the same time, it is not best
that roots of any kind should be
grown in contact with manure, which
breeds worms, and makes the roots
unstable in another way. If turnips
are grown very rapidly they will dry
out as quickly and become dry and
pithy, not good even for stock feed
ing. Rutabagas, which are planted
early, have more substance in them,
and will keep till spring, long after
the quickly grown fall turnips have
become worthless for feeding.-Amer-
lean Cultivator.

Asparagus Rust.

There are two general methods of
checking the rust, according to Scar
den and Forest" namely, by Destroy
ing the spores and by preventing
their growing upon, and getting
foothold in, the substance of healthy
asparagus plants. The rust fungi are
among the most difficult to check by
protecting the plants they feed upon
with fungicides like Bordeaux mix
ture, etc., sprayed upon them during
the growing season. While some
thing may be hoped for with the
spraying pump in July and August,
the chef method of eradication lies
in the destruction of the spores this

nearly so marked as with the cru
ciferous plants.
The leguminous plants, viz: peas
and clover, appeared to occupy pO-
sition between the cruciferous and
graminaceous plants, showing very
material increase of early develop
ment due to the water-insoluble
phosphates.
The facts so far observed suggest
that this difference in feeding power
which these plants exhibited is more
than a difference between single spe-
cies and relates to groups of species.
The ability to appropriate water
insoluble phosphoric acid appeared
with some species of plants to great
ly increase as the plants developed.
While the turnips and rutabagas
fed freely upon the crude Florida
rock even in the earlier stage of
growth, it was observed that not
until after some weeks did the clover,
lOIlld UOeS dIlu Ill OllC CoSC Cl1C COl LIS
begin to make any perceptible use of
the water-insoluble phosphates.
The clover in two stages of growth
illustrates the above statement very
clearly. This observed increase of
feeding power as the plants matured,
so that they fed upon the crude
ground rock, especially the clover,
suggests that the crude ground phos-
pilates may be made cheap and use
full source of phosphoric acid in grass
fields, and on the other hand the in
ability of several species, notably GER
tain of the gramineae and solanaceae,
to use the water-insoluble phosphates
freely in the earlier periods Of
growth, emphasizes the wisdom of
using chiefly water-soluble phosphor-
ic acid upon hoed crops, especially
where early maturity is essential.

once occurs. "When is the proper
time to sow?" The experience of
many of the most observing farmers
is that from the middle of Feb
ruary to the first of March en-
braces the most desirable period
for sowing spring oats in the lat
itude, say of Macon or Columbus
and breadth of country fifty to one
hundred miles north and fifty miles
south of that line. South of that linn
it, spring oats may be safely sown
earlier than February Is, while north
of it, say as far north as Atlanta and
Athens, the work may be more safely
done later than the 18th.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-11-11
Dat Culture.

From Bulletin No. 80 of the Geor-
gia experiment station we quote as
follows regarding the culture of oats:
Common experience teaches us
that oats sown in the fall, not later
than November l, if not killed or Sc
riously injured by cold, will usually
produce at least twice as large
yield of grain per acre as the same
land would produce if sown in the
spring. If a given area of land should
be sown in September or October for
a long period, say twenty years, and
an equal area of land precisely the
same character and quality be sown
in January or February for the same
period, it would probably be found
that the aggregate yield for the
whole period of the fall sown would
largely exceed that of the spring
sOwn.
The causes of failure in either case
are we'll known. AS rule, the fall
sown have only to risk killing by
cold, while the spring sown must take
the risks of a drouth inApril or May,
to which must be added a greater Ii
ability to injury from rust. If the
fall sown escape serious injury from
cold, the yield will invariably be
greater than that of the spring sown,
for the obvious reason that the oat
plants from fall sown seed occupy
the soil during a period of eight
months and, therefore, enjoy more
ample opportunity to forage through
the soil for their supply of plant food.
On the other hand, the spring sown
plants occupy the ground for peri
od less than half of the former.
But circumstances often require or
Justify the sowing of oats in the late
winter or spring. The question at
