Judge Rhydon M. Cali has granted the
restraining order asked for preventing the

so far as to say this: Il see nothing in

SO soon as saturating rains occur il will
be in order to do much of the work that
has been set back by protracted dry
weather. This dry weather has prevailed
pretty much all over the South from the
Atlantic to the Rio Grande. e'
Small gTain--so far as small grain is
concerned, IL il can be gotten in the
ground any time in October and the soil
is moist enough to bring Il up promptly.
there is plenty of time for the grain 10
make sufficient growth before freezing
weather occurs to enable II to go through
the winter safely. Even in Middle Georgia
many farmers every year wait until No
Vember before sowing either oats or rye
and three years out of four it is not Sc
riousEy' injured by January cold.
Deep blowing is not at all necessary for
fall sown grain of any kind, but The sur
face soil to the depth of or inches
should be thoroughly broken and pulver-
lied Very few of our small farmers are
supplied with that most necessary imp!e-
ment for putting in grain just right, the
rorler and so ii happens that much of the
grain sown IN the fall especially, lies in
the ground an unreasonable time before
terminating. Alter the grain is narrowed
in, or even plowed in, with II scooter, il
the ground can be trmed with a heavy
roller, two-horse roller say, Il will not be
many days before the green sprouts will
appear There need be but very little
moisture in the surface soil to produce in
slant germination when roller Is used. 1t
is almost Impossible TO obtain the best re-
suits in Southern farming without the
use of a good harrow and a good roller.
Even TO the smallest farmer these imple-
ments are worth every dollar that they
cost. In grain growing espec ally they are
almost Indispensable but of the two, the
roller is the most serviceable for produce
ing prompt growth.
In Middle Georgia and we presume ii is
the case lower down. there is little pros
pect for turnip crop this season. All the
sowngs made before Oct. l failed.
1t is still possible to have turnips though
they may not reach the large size that
they would have attained If started in
August or September.
As we write, oct s. a slow rain from
the east is coming down. and IL is more
than likely to continue until the ground
is saturate This rain s doubtless very
general and should be utilized for It's very
best Turnip and other seed sown imme-
diately after the rain Will come right up,
and there will be plenty of time TO make
a very good sized root before severe cold
weather sets In.
For more than two weeks before this
rain occurred the grass on uplands was as
dead as il usually is some weeks after a
severe frost. Only on rich, moist lands
was any v4stige of green TO be seen. The
gardens were as dry and burnt up in Sep
tember as they usually appear in Novem-
Ter. In many respects 10 has proved the
most destructive drought that has ever
been experienced in Georgia and from All
accounts II has proved likewise In many
other sections.

A recent issue of the Country Gentleman
contains letter from T. A. Stewart de-
scribing the tea farm of Dr. Charles y.
Shepherd in Berkeley county, sou,h Caro-
lima. The tea farm consists now Of fifty
acres of growing plants, and 1t Is claimed
that the venture has proved success
both economic and agricultural
DR.. Shepherd began his experiments
about ten years ago and has been aided
somewhat by the department Of agricnl-
ture at Washington. The seeds brought
from India and China are sown in nursery
beds and when the plants are large enough
are set out in The open ground at dis
lance apart of by feet. There Is no
difficulty whatever in making the plants
grow after they are set out. From . TO
90 per cent of the seeds terminate and
are large enough to sci out, attaining a
hight of four TO six inches in few months
White Asiatic authorities claim that the
best climatic conditions for tea growing Is
where the annual rainfall is not less man
eighty or one hundred inches and win a
temperature not falling much below 40 de-
grees, DR.. Shepherd has demonstrated
that fifty-six inches of rainfall Ohe aver
age fall in South Carolina), is suf1clent tor
normal development, and his tea plants
have stood thus far temperature OF 10
degrees and even less.
During the twelve months cosing with
1898 the production of tea amounted 70
/. 200 pounds, which was an average of five
ounces of tea to the bush
1t is not stated a. what price the product
was sold and how il was classed. We
hope to secure at an early day some addi-
ton information relative to this Tea cul-
ture If we are not mistaken a lady some
v,yhara i'm Southern Georgia or florida Is
producing excellent tea, but We are not in
formed as 10 her name or address.
BY the way. are there any coffee plants
in Southern Georgia or Florida? S. A.C.

the same time as ether fertilizers or sta
bic manure. The fall is the best dime for
the application of any form, caustic lime
in particular
Calcium sulphate, commonly called gyp-
sum or land plaster, is another form of
lime which IS much used. While of val
ne. it is not so highly thought of as the
quick lime. It's chief merit seems to be
TO make availa bic certain insoluble forms
of potash already in the soil. In this way
its superior effect when applied TO clover
is accounted for. 1t is best TO apply it
some months before planting, or as a top
dressing. 1t is frequently used at the
rate Of 200 10 800 pounds to the acre. As a
rule, It docs not pay on very poor land,
and Is not advised where high farming IS
practiced.
Often the effects of lime can be seen
for years, while a fresh application every
five or six years is frequently profitable
The present tendency is to lime oflener
and 10 apply less at a time

Pruning and TranspInnting Trees.

A large proportion of the trees that are
lost in resetting die because they have
been injured when they were taken up,
says Farm and Home. Without a good
root or stem a tree can make but little
progress IN growth. In digging up trees
the surface soil should be removed to the
root system, then a trench dug around
the tree outside the mass of roots; then
by cutting under the roots with sharp
spade on each side, the tree may be loos-
ened from the soil with a good supply
of young growing roots. If the tree IS
large the trench must be made around the
roots to the depth of the lowest, and the
roots gradually loosened and freed from
the soil
No matter how carefully a tree Is dug,
many of the young feeding roots Will be
injured or destroyed. Thus only a small
amount of sap can be supplied to the
branches and buds. which nevertheless
continue to evaporate a large amount OF
water; thus the tree often starts very
slowly, and sometimes fails entirely. By
removing the branches and buds in pro-
portion to the injury of the roots, a BAL
ance is maintained. All injured roots
should be cut off clean with a knife and
the wounds of large roots should be paint
ed over with some waterproof covering.
When trees are planted the roots should
have a fine mellow bed of soil, which
should be pressed firmly in contact with
every fiber. leaving no air space around
them, and all should be spread out in
natural position. The soil should be press
ed very firmly around the roots
so that the new roots will
be encouraged to make rapid
growth If the soil in which the tree is
planted is the same as the one from which
It was taken, the tree should be set the
same depth as il was before it was re-
moved. If the soil Is heavier, the tree
should be shallower; if lighter, il should
be placed deeper. The surface of the soil
which is over the roots should be fine
and light, because the capillarity is then
broken up and the moisture cannot es-
cape.

TELEPHONE EXTENSION.
The Frederick Company Will
Soon Have All County
Towns on Exchange.

Since the business of the Inter.
State Telephone and Telegraph
Company has been transferred
into the hands of the Frederick
capitalists, the affairs of the con.
Germ are being put into perfect
order and an "eXranSion." policy
pursued. The directors mention
ed in last weeks CITIZEN have
organized by electing James f.
Walker, president; Daniel Il. Or
deman. secretary; DR.. Franklin
Il. Smith, treasurer, and John j..
Murray, superintendent.
Already the company have
wires well strung, connecting the
county towns, and the advan-
tageS of instant communication
with Frederick are manifold and
greatly appreciated by those who
enjoy them.
Not satisfied with a partial
county exchange, arrangements
have been perfected and opera
lions are under way to connect
Brunswick and intermediate
points with this city. Last Sat
urday, Braddock, about three
miles west of town, was reached
by the linemen and connection
made. The line will run through
Jefferson to Brunswick and then
branches out to take in the upper
end of the county, Creagerstown,
LewiStOwn and Thurmont.
Another advantage will be
shortly realized when connection
is made at Urbana with the Boyd,
Montgomery County Circuit.
Poles are erected as far as Ur-
bana now by that company and
the two counties will soon be in
speaking relationship.
The Frederick Company have
many orders ahead for phones and
so pressed were they that another
line will be strung to Walkers
vile.
