neggar Weed as a Hnr Plant

There is no question as to the value of
beggar weed for Southern ATTITUDES. Analy-
SIS made by the department of agriculture
showed that the hay cut and cured when
it was in bloom contained q per cent. of
crude protein and over Go per cent. of, car
bohydrates. For enrching our worn sandy
soils it IS, we believe, one of the best
plants we can make use of. 1t is a
handy" plant. With our Cow peas"
sofa beans and beggar weed we need never
lie al a loss for something TO plant in mid
summer 10 furnish shade and humus for
any soil that happens TO be vacant in June
or July.
For hay purposes it should be sown thick
enough as to make small stems that are
easily cured, In orchards that need vege-
table matter 1t can be sowed broadcast. bur
ordinarily il is better 10 sow in drills 21S or
feet apart, and give one or two cultivat-
ngs. on very Door soil we would prefer
TO have the drills not more than IS 10 q
inches apart so as to get as much stem
as possible 10 turn under after the stem

Tending to the Grape Vines.

Very few vines or trees give better salts
faction than the grapes Culuvaung them
on a large commercial scale has been re-
duced 10 a science that takes away good
deal Of the sentiment which attached to
the old family grape arbor. Grapes
are so cheap now that many farmers
are giving up growing them for home
use, depending upon the markets for
all their families consume. For a fruit that
is 50 easily raised this is a mistake.
Enough grapes should be raised on trellises
or arbors to provide eating for the whole
family from early fail TO the middle of
winter. There should be on abundance on
the table all the time, for there is no
healthier fruit raised, and p-enty should
be left over for canning.
The mistake is often made on farm
houses TO let old out-of-date vines Chamber
over the arbor This should be torn down
ana some of the best varieties planted
Select one variety each of the early,
medium and late grapes Then let them
grow in a thrifty condition, stirring
and enriching the soil about their roots
when they need IL, and pruning them
back every fail. About all the care grapes
raised for home consumption need in this
way is to loosen the soil occasionally, and
prune them back. More depends upon
tiS ~ uillliS IMAM ilOSl growers lI0dSllC.
This has more TO do with the bearing
of the vines than anything else. Very
often it is better to prune them back 20
the main stem, leaving only one joint on
each branch Then let this joint produce
one branch that can be trained TO the trei-
lis. By repeating this operation the ar
Dor can be covered with branches and
stems that have been carefully selected
with a view to their special fitness There
will be no abundant vine growth then,
and every branch will produce it's quota
of grapes
Grapes to riDen well must have air In
the first pace the arbor should be so To-
Gated that the air can circulate evenly
through it. If put away in some corner
where no wind can blow through the vines.
the fruits will not ripen well, and moulds
and fungi will be more apt to attack them.
As there are some 200 insect pests that
attack the grapes now it is quite essen
tai TO give them the best location to COM
bat their enemies Then by pruning care
fully the punches of grapes are given the
opportunity to get more air. and this is
OF vital importance TO them. With proper
pruning, good location, fair soil an oc-
caslonal stirring of the soil, and p.enty of
air clusters of good grapes should he had
in abundance. S w Chambers

Peas Versus Beans-HumuS Crops.

ii. M. c., Ware County: The field peas
that you see referred 10 in the Northern
agricultural journals are not our field
peas, but are what are known in this
country as English" peas They are only
grown in the South for table use and must
be sown very early in the season-Decem-
Der 10 February. Unlike our ield or COW
peas, they viii not thrive at all after the
weather becomes dry and hot These
English peas are grown very extensively
in Canada, and are known to us as Can
ada peas. They are sowu along with
small grain frequently, and make the
earliest Dasturage or hay that can be
grown in Northern ATTITUDES. Our field
or COW peas are really not peas, but beans

The sofa bean is altogether another spe-

tensive species of beans is that Of phase

Insects Injurious to Corn-Protect

Inquirer" Baldwin county: There are
at least three different insects that in

small beetle and the other two are
moths. They do the damage to the corn
stalks while In the larva or caterpillar
form They bore into the stalks both

to weaken the stalks so that thew are

insects. 1t would be OF no service 10
YOU to describe these insects now or give
their scientific name. the important
question is can anything pe done to pro-
tect the corn from their attacks, and we
are sorry 10 say that little or nothing
can be done in this direction. The moths
lay their eggs on the stalks while they
are young and tender and the Young

the stalk and bores it's way along the
stalk until It gets fun grown when il
