Keeping Hedges.

The United States department OF agri-
culture has published some excellent lit
erature on keeping hedges. 1t remarks
that one Of the principal objections urged
against the employment of live fences
or hedges is the cost Of keeping them in
efficient repair, for 1t admits of no quail
fication that unless they receive proper
attention they will prove to be of but
little value as a fence against live stock.
Unfortuna tely, our best hedge plants so
far are of strong growth, especially when
young, and consequently require TO be
trimmed two or three times during the
summer, at least for several years after
planting and this at a time when farm
crops demand attention, so that In a. vast
number Of cases the hedge is neglected
and soon ceases to be seryiceable. The
best hedge plant Is one that could be kept
by winter trimming only, because in that
season of comparative leisure II would
probably receive attention, but with such
strong growing plants as the Usage orange
and honey locust, our two popular hedge
plants, 1t Is impracticable to produce a
close fence without frequent summer trim
There is one thing. however, which
should be put to their credit that after
a few years the growth will be less pro-
fuse; the weakening effect of continued
summer pruning ultimately weakens the
plants, 50 that they become easier man
ing out their roots to great distance,
so that they do not interfere with cult
waited crops, an evil which soon becomes
visible when hedge IS neglected and
allowed to take care Of itself.
When a hedge gets into condition that
one summer trimming and one winter
trimming will keep Il In fairly good con-
dillon, the labor and cost is reduced to
a minimum. 1t will also have a tendency
to retard the exuberance OF early sum
mer growth, II the winter trimming is
delayed until after the buds begin TO push
IN spring This will make a difference
OF several weeks In regard to summer
trimming and will prove Of some impor-
lance when summer pruning is confined
to one operation.
The weakest part OF the hedge is al
ways nearest the ground. The criterion
Of well-kept hedge Is that of thickness
at the bottom. This should also be it's
widest part and II should taper upward
to a point. Unless this form Is strictly
maintained the lower branches viii grad

ing gaps which are not easily closed.

A contemporary says; In the sections Of
the south where cotton is the staple crop.
this month viii be busy one as the land
should be got ready and the crop planted
as soon as ever the weather will permit
We trust that cotton planters will pay
heed to the advice so often given and not
increase the area planted. The last crop
OF $4,000 bales or Whereabouts, is as large
a one as the demands of the market re-
quire, and any material increase Of il only
means reduced price The present price
can be made a good paying one If only
the quantity per acre is increased. The
same remarks We have made as 10 the corn
crop apply to the cotton crop. The yield
per acre is too small. The last crop was
made at the rate of about bale TO two
and One-third acres OF land. a bale per
acre can be made. and ought 10 be made;
but even assuming that last years crop
had been made on 100000 acres instead of
on A,500c9O acres (which il could easily
have BEEN the saving in cost would have
been a large profit in itself. The cost Of
Flowing, planting, fertiliz.ng and picking
the crop on $4,000 acres of land would
have been saved. and this at SO per acre.
and the cost could not well nave been less,
would have amounted TO $55.0O0O0O. Sup
posing only one-half of this sum had been
saved and the other half spent in better
preparing and fertilizing the smaller area,
we believe that not only would as large
a crop have been made but the land have
been left in much better condition for fu-
ture crops. We trust these considerations
only the best land will be planted, and
that this will receive better care and better
fertilization. If only all land to be planted
in cotton had had a crop of cow-peas plow-
ed down in the fall or winter, then with a
fertilizer made IN OF 300 pounds of acid
phosphate and 200 pounds of kainit, a good
yield might reasonably be expected. Where
peas have not been grown then cotton
seed meal must also be applied, say at the
rate OF 800 or 400 pounds to the acre, in or
der to supply the nitrogen. In applying
tn sse fertilizers, we would strongly advise
that only part should be put in the drill
with the seed, and that the remainder be
applied broadcast. There is always danger
Of firing the crop by applying too much
fertilizer in the drill. 1t has also another
disadvantage in that i'm encourages the
massing of the roots altogether In the drill
rather than generally throughout the land
and in such a case in the event of drouth
the crop is bound to suffer. Even if the
roots find little food when running over
the land, they at least find moisture and
! this supports the growth.

The scuppernong grape is a native of
North Carolina, the first vines having been
found near Lake Scuppernong, from which
it takes its name. There are several
varieties Of grapes known by this name.
many Of which are probably seedlings
of the scuppernong, following the parent
vine in manner of growth, but differing
in the size color and quality of the fruit
large trellises are called scuppernong,
while in other sections they are known
by various names. The scuppernong pro-
per is a round white grape, growing in
groups of from two to five grapes on
q stem. The skin Is thick and tough,
but when fully ripe the pulp is tender and
pleasant to the taste, except for a slight
fnusky taste. which is disliked by some
Among the best of the improved varfe-
tics are the Thomas, Flower and Tender
pulp These varieties are large, OF excel
lent flavor and comparatively thin skin
When eaten fresh from the vine they are
among the most luscious Of Florida
fruits. They are also excellent for cam
ming and for preserves, sweet pickles
marmalade and Jelly. The Juice when
heated to the boiling point and canned in
glass cans can be kept Indefinitely and
Is Invaluable in cases Of debility or for a
summer drink.
