PEAS AND OTHER FARMING
MATTERS.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The farmer in StanIy county is
somewhat behind with his work owing
to continued wet weather. Scarcely
any blowing mas been done for the
spring crop, and our roads are too bad
to haul over, but the people will haul.
The fertilizer bill will be as large as
ever. Personally, have been trying
to reduce that bill, but it is d ,ffcult
task. It is impossible to make the
manure we need on the farm where
we have only work stock. II we had
dairy ing in connection with our farm
ing, we might, but it's very d. lff cult to
do Rnything at that in some sections.
It is here. The best and safest method
I have found is in planting as many
peas as we can get in every year. The
Wonderful pea is good pea for vine
and large growth for hay, but here it
does not pay for seed. The large white
pea is neither very prolific Of vine or
seed. The black does very we'll. The
Clay about the same. The best all
around for both purpose pea here is
the WhippoorwilL. 1t has a good
growth of vine and produces seed very
we'll.
Since I have been sowing peas, I
have constantly improved my land
and had plenty of good hay that will
almost keep up mules and milk COWS
without additional feed. The COW pea
is the farmers friend if wisely man
aged. The hay is as easily saved as
any hay and gives rich milk and good
butter.
There is a little speckled pea here
that we call the Oregon that is a very
good pea, though very hard. 1t is extra
early. I have had dry peas on the
vine the 2OEh of June. l expect to
plant several acres in peas this year
and manure them we'll. They pay
more than the same acreage in cotton.
But cotton will always be our money
crop here and we must raise all of that
we can. We should strive to make it
pay us to raise it by improving our
lands. It is only on the improved lands
there is any pay in it.

THE SWEET Potato CROP.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
As the time is at hand when prep
aration for this very important crop
must be made, allow me some sugges
tions from plan of setting and culti
vation that has not failed for thirty
yaars to raise remunerative crop of
this most excellent esculent. 1t used
to be custom to pull up high ridges
with hoe and set the sprouts on these
ridges. This kind of extra work has
proven worthless. I prefer land not
generally rich, especially in nitrogen,
and have raised an excellent crop with
no ammonia applied except that in
pine straw and leaves, putting the
leaves in a broad furrow and putting
on them three or four hundred pounds
of acid phosphate and muriate of pot
ash, three hundred pounds Of the
former to fifty of the latter. l throw
two burrows on this preparation and
am ready for setting the sprouts, leav-
ing the middles to be torn up with
cultivator ten days later, thus destroy
ing the weeds that would otherwise
start with the potato.
Icultivate almost as fat as cotton
and much in the same way, blowing
with cultivator right up to the plants
so that all the hoe work necessary for
an acre can be done easily by one hand
in day. At the last blowing throw
little dirt to the plants so the roots
may not be exposed to frost.
One important point for keeping
sweet potatoes in winter is to put up
for late keeping only those raised from
the vine; they keep much better, are
better to eat and can be raised cheaper,
I try to set patch of sprouts early in
May and manure this higher 90 that I
may get the vines earlier and by the
last of June or first Of July set with
vines the crop for winter use, seldom
digging any set with sprouts except
for early eating. Hogs dig the main
crop set in sprouts, putting hogs on
these early in September, thus starting
hogs early and getting potatoes eaten
before extreme cold weather. I set
half an acre in vines last ; ear between
the 8jh and 1O5h Of July and housed
from the same 100 bushels of potatoes,
leaving enough in the patch for Is hogs
two weeks.
F0r me there is no crop I raise that
pays better in proportion to cost of
raising than the sweet potato. It
makes good pork, good milk, and ex-

cellent food for the table. I have noticed
several years that the average cost Of
raising sweet potatoes with me is less
than ten cents per bushel. usually
raise them as a second crop, following
truck peas. 1t is very good success
sion, and never use any more fertili-
ger for the potato crop after peas.
As to keeping sweet potatoes, l have
very little trouble. / put them in a
long bank. small and large all together,
not taking time to scrap them out, and
one advantage of having the potatoes
hang together in punches is, they can
be piled up higher in the bank. put
on six or eight inches thick of pine
straw and dirt ten inches thick at base
but thinner at the top. leaving a ven
tilation at the top, but covering we'll
to keep out the water. In this way we
seldom lose per cent. of the crop and
the busy work of harvesting is not
hindered in sorting out the small and
large potatoes, there being more time
for this later, and the small potatoes
find a ready market in the COW stall or
pig pen. We usually take out enough
from the long bank to meet the de-
mand for two or three weeks and do
not open it in freezing weather. 1 do
not dig potatoes after the old style,
but bar off one side with turn plow,
and letting the horse walk back in that
furrow, throw out the potatoes with
the plow and pick them up. D.L.
