Orchard Wisdom.

Here are few short remarks by
Professor Bailey, of the Cornell Uni
versity. on orchards Read them and
profit thereby:
If orchards are to be made protita-
BILE. they must receive as good care as
other crops.
Good drainage, natural or artificial,
is essential to success. Trees are I'M
patient of wet feet.
Good tillage increases the aVMlaole
food supply of the soil and also con-
serves it's moisture.
Tillage should be begun just as soon
as the ground is dry enough IN the
spring. and should be repeated as Of
ten as once in ten days throughout
the growing season, which extends
from spring until July or August
ONLY cultivated crops should be al
lowed in orchards early in the season
Grain and hay should never be grown
Even hoed or cultivated crops may
rob the trees of moisture and fertility
if they are allowed to stand above the
tree roots.
Watch a sod orchard. 1t will begin
to fail before you know it.
Probably nine-tenths OF the apple
orchards are in sod, and many OF
them are meadows. Of course they
are failing.
The remedy for these apple failures
is to cut down many of the orchards.
For the remainder, the treatment is
cultivation, fertilization, spraying

advice of the Texas Commissioner of
Agriculture says:
The triumph of agriculture rests
ON diversifcation of interests. Mix
ed farming is the only system by
which fertility may be maintained
and permanent prosperity achieved.
Truly the southern farmer who
grows four cent cotton and buys his
food supplies has a sorry outlook for
himself and family. The remarks
along this line are not confined in
their application to the cotton grower
alone. They are just as true as the
follower of the one crop system of any
kind or in any locality, but at pres
ent the cotton grower seems to be the
one that needs the most urging to get
out of the ruts-SOuthern Ruralist.

The Parting of the Ways.

Diversiication Of crops-grOwing
what the farmers family and stock
consume abandoning the one crop
system in part for cereals, beef, pork,
mutton, poultry, and fodder and grain
to feed them on has been the key note
of the Ruralist's efforts with the
southern farmer for years past in Or
der that the drain of hundred mill
ions of dollars for these supplies may
be stopped and southern agriculture
take it's proper place in the country.
In letter to the Memphis CONNER
cialAppeal, Jefferson johnson, COM
missioner of agriculture for Texas,
gives his views concerning the unsatis-
factory condition of the cotton indus
try and suggests d remedy. Mr.. john
son says: Just as long as the cotton
grower continues to purchase food
stuffs for man and beast to make cot
ton. present conditions will remain.
Those conditions are illustrated as
follows: The crop Of 1862 was s.
49, G4 bales, and sold for 1924, S34 ,
or $3G.76 per bale, while the crop Of
1897-98 was II, 1894 bales, and sold
for $32O,552, 6O6, or $28.62 per bale.
Here we have for the crop Of 1928
2,442, O3O more bales than 1861 and
the values $1,372,22S less money.
"The foregoing figures, it strikes
me, suggest the remedy with so much
force that it appears irresistible, and
that is, to make every farm self-sus-
tanning and let the cotton be surplus
and the money crop. If this were done
the money for the cotton crop would
remain in the country and all would
realize that change had been
wrought. Every good farmer ought
to make himself able to spare his I'M
roverished neighbor Il pig, beef or
load of corn, and when that time
comes prosperity will come and come
to stay as long as that rule is MAIN

stuff for man and beast at any price,
make cotton at present prices and re-
ceive any profit for his labor
These conclusions, from so high an
authority ought to get Judgment in
every cotton growers brain and set
him to thinking. He needs to divest
himself of the idea that the trouble is
in too little money and place it where
it belongs-too much cotton and too
little beef, pork, mutton, poultry,
grain, fodder and family garden. The

The Spanish Peanut.


One of the most valuable crops that
can be raised on the farm and ought
to largely supersede the corn crop, is
peanuts. There are many varieties of
the peanut, but they may be classed
under two heads; one is a bunch paa-
nut bearing it's peas close above the
tap root. They are a small nut, bear
ing but one and two peas to the pod.
They adhere close to the vine and do
not shatter off in harvesting and in
curing. They are much richer and
sweeter than the larger varieties, but
on account of their small size are not
much used for roasting, but if the pea
nut vendors would put them on the
market they would soon win the pub
lie favor. For stock feed they are
simply wonderful, and it is truly sur
prising that farmers are so slow in
taking hold of them. They stand the
drOuth nearly as well as cane or katfir,
and can always be relied upon to
produce a large crop. Mine the past
year made me at least seventy-fve
bushels per acre, and about two tons
of the finest hay I ever saw. They are
no more trouble to grow and cultivate
than corn and just aus easy to harvest.
and will make fuzzy three times the
stock feed Of any corn on the same
ground and season. These bunch
peanuts have come to be known as til"
''Spanish peanut" and are by all odds
my favorite.
The other peanuts, four or five vari
cites, are the running peanut, such as
have been grown for years in all The
Southern States under the general
name of "goobers," "peanuts' and
''ground peas" These do we'll only in
light sandy soil. The vines spread
over considerable space, from the I'M
der surface of which they throw down
into the soil little roots that swell out
into peanuts and bury themselves into
the ground. They are much larger
than the Spanish variety; have often
three peas to the pod, rarely less than
two; are fine for all kinds of stock,
and the hay is also fine for stock feed
but they do not stand our drOuths
we'll; are more difficult to cultivate,
and shatter off badlyin gathering, but

fence you can turn in your hogs and
they will gather every one of them.
I shall write only about the Spanish
peanut, and while they do best on
sandy soil they will make good crops
on any kind of land that will grow
corn. Peanuts and peas will make
fair crops on soil that is too poor to
grow corn, yet they respond finely to
richer soils and manuring, hence if
your land is poor, manuring will pay
for any kind of crop.
Peanuts are tender to frosts, and
hence should not be planted until all
danger of frost is past, about as you
would cotton. The land should be
