How to Grow Wheat,
(Oconee Nows.)

Certainly the first thing to do wher
you mako up your mind to SOW wheat
is to select tho best land for that
purpose. Red land is without 4
doubt the best adapted to wheat in
this part Of the State. Though any
of tho uplands if properly treated
will produce wheat with tho possible
exception Of that which is too deep
in sand.
1t is of primo importance that the
land to be sown shall have boon woll
cultivated that year, and if it had
been well prepared for tho crop that
preceded tho wheat we do not advise
dcop plowing for wheat, but if there
is any kind of grass or weeds to Gro
ato a turf when plowing, then wo ad-
wise Il thorough breaking of the soil.
Wheat will perhaps follow we'll cul-
tivated pea crop to tho best advun-
tage Of any hocd crop and will do
well after peas arc sowcd broad cast
if the pea crop covers tho land suf-
iiciently to keep down grass or weeds.
Next to pcus we would prefer cotton
land to SOW in wheat and perhaps
nino tenths of tho wheat Of the cOun-
ty will be sown to cotton land. After
deciding upon tho land to be sown,
the mannor of preparing the land
will depend upon its condition II, in
dicatcd above, if had boon wclI plow-
cd tho winter or spring previous and
tho present crop kept clear of woods
and grass then yon only nccd to fur
row out tho old cotton stalks This
should bo done, thoroughly spread
what over manure you mean to use
over the land, SOW the wheat from lJ
to 90 pounds to the aero and harrow
or plow it in. We havo been using
tho disk and cutnway hurrows for ten
years and hayc not put in wheat with
any other implement in that time.
Cotton seed and horse stable manure
have given the best results on this
Farm Though any kind Of manure
has proved valuable in increasing the
yield. Tho main troubio is to got
manure enough to 60 over tho amount
Of land that should be sown in wheat.
This is ono of tho great advantages
Of cotton seed, have found that in
running the cotton seed through the
farm stables that tho manure be-
comes SO we'll mixed and pulvcrized
that it can be spread over the land
rs thinly rs desired. With the avol
age land and the average year 20
bushels of this mixture is perhaps
tho most profitable quality to be
used. Tho groat advantage in the
harrow /" reducing tho cost Of the
crop. Ono good six foot cutuway
harrow with two good largo mnlcs
and only small boy to drive will
put in from three to four acres pel
day | have in ten years tried four
distinct varieties Of wheat, the pur-
pie straw, early May, bearded wheat,
and what is known hero rs tho white
wheat. Tho latter giving the best
results. This whito wheat, it makes
a taller and larger straw than tho
purple straw wheat and tho grain is
full and plump and makes the best
of flour. The purple straw is my
next preference, tho bearded and the
May wheat | do not liko at all. The
year Of '9G, '01 and '9S | made an
averaG" Of 20 bushels to one bushol

stitutiOn stands in our way, the Con-

summary method may be adoptec by
electing and appointing Judges who
will construe these instruments &C

One OF the great political parties Of
this country has already made this
latter suggestion in a national plat
form, only to have it denounced by
the promoters Of thepeople's degrada-
ton as anarchy and revolution.
There may be those who will so
denounce me terminating that there
IS no MISUNDERSTANDING about Judges
which makes them superior to their
masters the sovereign people Lam
