Rotation of Plants.

Vegetables which are being vigor-
OuSly attacked on one size of the gar
den this spring, should be planted on
the other side next spring, or removed
as far as possible from where they are
now located, says the Atlanta Jour
nal. The dead plants should be pulled
up and burned in the fall Of the year
The insects which go into the ground
this fall, will, in one form or another,
commence their attack on such vege
tables as are planted and growing
moth lays it's eggs on plant not suit
ed to the growth Of the young cater
pillar. as a matter of course, it dies,
and what might have resulted in dis
astrous injury is nipped in the bud.
On the other hand, if, for instance, to-
matoes or cabbage are followed by the
same plant, all the conditions remain
favorable for the work of the moth
and it's progeny. Bear these Sugges
tons we'll in mind, for they are not
only reasonable but are true beyond
question of doubt. These are proven
tive measures, which can only be util7
lied in the future, but when the time
comes do not neglect or put off or half
do the work. 1t is only the man who
looks ahead and acts at the proper
time, preparing for war in the time

however, with many of the gardeners
at this time, it is more a question of
how to get rid of present troubles than
what may be best to do later. We

Pecans.

Pecan seedlings are grown in the
same manner as seedlings from acOrnS
chestnuts or peach-seed. The nuts
should be wintered over in a cool,
moist place, free from extremes Of
heat or cold, until after the frost peri
Cd i'll the spring. Prepare a fertile
spot, and plant the nuts two or three
inches deep, and keep the soil moist
but not wet. The nuts if sound or
not destroyed by some enemy, should
sprOut in the course Of a few weeks.
Keep the soil free from weeds and the
ground in good filth after the sprouts
are up.
1t would be well, especially in cold
climate, to protect the young trees the
first season. Set the trees where de
sired when young as the pecan does
not stand tranSplanting well. It would
be we'll to plant the nut where the tree
is desired if convenient to do so.
Texas is the banner state of the I'm
ion for pecans. Nearly every stream in
Texas has on it's banks a great mum
Der of native pecan trees. The pecan
loves the loan soil of creek and river
bottoms, where the roots can penetrate
into the moist earth. The pecan does
best in sandy SOIL but does well any
yyrhD 4h,,
belongs to the same family as the hick-
DRY tree does, and they are both very
similar in shape, size and habit Of
growth
Very little attention is paid to pecan
culture. The nuts are obtained almost
exclusively from native wild trees.
Cultivation, however, improves both
the tree and nut. Little attention is
paid to varieties. There are, neverthe-
less, a great many different kinds of
pecanS among native trees. There has
been imported of late years the paper
shell pecan. The nuts are larger than
native varieties, of excellent flavor,
and the shell so thin that it can be
easily crushed between ones fingers.
Pecan trees begin to bear at about
twelve years of age. Large trees fire.
Quently yield as much as fifteen bush
els in one season. They do not bear
full crops every year and are barren
some years. Some trees never bear.

The Dark Side of Southern California


My friend lis home now, and 1 learn
from him that he took endless pains Ito
discover for himself the inWardness of
the section where he spent the winter.
He is a retired farmer, and has rela.
tiVeS on farms both here and in the
part of California that he visited. Be
ing Of AN fnquiring turn of mind, he
stopped in all the places known to
tourists, from Sam Diego nOrthWard.
1t was his plan to take "a horse and
drive leiSurely through the whole dis
MiCt before leaving it, and he declares
every one in the open country THAT he

Here are two ins stances: A horse
was to be shod, and he asked the priv
ilege of taking it to the blacksmi tn.
After making the mans acquaintance
and nnding THAT he was from Vermont,

speak of the wonderful climate. "But

The feeling of discouragemen APP
pears to be general. My friend found
"a man who was feeding his crop of
raisins to his horses and pigs. He had
not been able to make them of first
quality, and could sell them for only
$50 a ton-that is, a cent "a pound. He
was Obliged to pay $21 for barley hay,
and concluded that raisins were cheap

i Was much surprised to hear that
practically none of the oranges we get
from California, so far als my friend
could learn, were raised on land that
was paying an income. They come
from ranches owned by some rich man
who merely sells his surplus. The best
naval orange grove produces four
grades of oranges, of which only the
best two are shipped East. The fourth
grade sells on the spot at 80 cents "a
bushel, and if the buyer cares for so
many, he can get two bushels for the
price of one. 1t is not proper to allow
them to decay ON the ground, as they
produce and acid state of soil that is
not favorable to future crops.
