PESTS of Vegetable Crops and their
Treatment" and is prepared by Gerald
Mccarthy, Botanist and Entomologist of
the station. All of our garden crops are
more or less infested by destructive in
sects and subject to attacks of parasitic
fungi
Each garden crop is taken up in de-
tail, and the pests of that particular crop
described and remedies suggested. These
are given in very compact form and yet
are fuller than any heretofore published
in a station bulletin. The bulletin will
be a valuable contribution to the liter
ature of the garden and will suggest mat
tiers of practice that will be of value to
the garden cultivators of the state. 1t
will be sent to any address in north
Carolina on application to the station at
Raleigh, N. c., and we presume to farm
ers in other southern states for small
consideration. No southern gardener can
afford to be without it.

The Home Vegetable Garden and
it's Pests.

The North Carolina Experiment Sta
ton is the most practical of all the ex-
pertinent stations in it's adaptation to
the southern farmer and gardener. Prof.
Massey, it's editor, is intensely practical
and is doing a great work for the south.
He says, in bulletin on vegetable gar
dening:
Few of our people realize the advan-
tage that our long summers and sunny
autumns give us for the production of a
constant succession of crops in the gar
den, and still fewer realize that in this
climate the garden need at no season be
abandoned to weeds. One of the great
est troubles that results from the COM
mon practice of allowing the garden to
grow up in weeds after the first peas,
corn, cabbage and tomatoes are secured,
is that these weeds are the places where
the larvae of the cut worm moth hide,
and are ready to begin their destructive
work as soon as the garden plants are
set in the spring. If the garden is kept
clean and cropped continuously the year
round, as it may and should be here,
there will be no cut worms to bother the
early plants. From January to January
there is no need in this climate for there
being any space in the garden unoccu-
pied by crops. From the time when the
earliest peas go in the ground in Janu-
airy up to the time when it is necessary
to prepare for them the following year,
we can have constant succession of
fresh vegetables from the garden by the
exercise of a little forethought. And

bed sashes for the production of let

through the winter we can have celery,
kale, spinach and turnips. Then follows
a series of articles on the cultivation of
the various garden crops in detail. The
second part of the bulletin is on the

acre when so planted. No one denies
this. But since the advent of success
full corn harvesters this is no longer
valid, for all of these work better on
corn in drills and no one now thinks
of cutting corn by hand.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-06-02
Corn Raising Hills or Drills.

in hills or drills, says j. S. W., in
Practical Farmer. Only few years
ago it was almost universal to plant
in hills. This was largely from habit,
for grandfathers planted in this way
among the stumps and roots, when
the only implements for cultivation
were the 'bull-plow'' and shovel and
by having corn in rows both ways
they could root up the ground and
reduce hand labor to minimum, and
we followed along with the notion
that when so planted we could save
hand labor by the two-way cultiva-
ton. | was brought up to plant in
this way, but since the advent of the
smoothing harrow and modern tools
for cultivation I have gradually chang
ed until now all our corn is in the
drill system. My objections to hill
planting are, mainly: Less corn is
grown upon the same ground. It is
more costly in hand work to so grow
it and the ground cannot be kept so
clean. The experiments made at Cor
nell and other stations have demon
strated very clearly that when the
same number of stalks are put on an
acre, more grain and more stOver will
be produced when planted in drills.
BY Cornell's experiments the differ
ence was over 10 per cent, in favor
of drills, both in yield and feeding
value. When corn is in hills we can
not use the smoothing harrow so
quickly, nor so constantly. [ have
never gotten ground in so good order
but the harrow would now and then
find sod, lump or stone that would
shove along little way and occa-
siOnally when corn was in hills, take
out a hill. Now, if three and half or
four feet apart each way, this would
leave too large a vacant place, but
when in drills a stalk taken here and
there makes no difference in the yield
as the others fill right in, SO [ was
forced to abandon the constant use of
smoothing harrow or hill planting, and
as the harrow is the most efficient tool
l ever used for weed killing [ could
not afford to dispense with it and so
| abandoned hills.
/ now start the harrow before corn
is up and keep it going so often that
all weeds are ''killed in infancy"
when the least stirring of the soil is
"sure death" to them. And the har-
row kills weeds among the cornstalks
as well as between the rows. Now
when in hills, if we run the cultlvator
both ways and as often as we please,
unless we cultivate too deeply for the
good Of the corn, SO as to throw too
much dirt into the HILL many weeds
will be found in the hill that must be
taken out with the hand or hoe if we
would keep the field clean. There is
one very important point in the use
of the harrow on corn mat no one
should ignore. 1t must be narrowed
at least once before it comes up, so as
to fill up and level all the depressions
made by the planter, otherwise when
the harrow fills these places it will
cover up and smother much corn.

contains the essence Of truth. and
outlines the provisions Of an ideal
libel law:
1T is OF the very first importance
to the community that a malicious
publication, intended to injure. re.

should be punished, and punished
with the utmost severity Of the law
"But il verdicts Of that character
are demanded under such state oil
facts. 1t is equally true that for 9
libel not malicious but accidental.
for the publication Of false article
which occurred in q manner almos,
natural and excussble, the verdic,
should not represent more as com
Pensasion than the facts proven jus
tify.
There should be in such cases M
element Of punishment, because. i'm
portant as It 10 that the reckless and
malicious press should be punished
IL Is equally important that . care
