Danger in Color

The number of soldiers slain in bat
tie depends great deal upon the color
of their uniform. The more flashy and
conspicuous the helmet and jacket the
better the target, and, consequently,
the greater the mortality. Red attracts
the eye most readily, and twelve men
wearing that color are killed to seveE
in rifle green, or six in blue, or five in
either brown, blue-gray or gray.

SMALL GRAIN.

An Experienced Farmer Makes Some
Suggestions,
Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Wheat, oats, rye and barley are
usually called small grain. They all
belong to the grass family. They con-
stitute the chief articles of food for the
human family as well as the domestic
animals.
Wheat and rye are sources Of bread,
and barley is useful in many ways.
Oats furnish the best grain food for
horses, as we'll as some very nourish.
ing dishes for man.
In this country, wheat stands easily
at the head of breadstUffs, Indian
corn being next in rank. In this ar
ticle we shall speak OF wheat mainly,
for as rule the same treatment will
hold good for the others. There is no
good reason why the Southern farmers
should buy any of the small grains or
their products. It is much more eco
nomical 10 grow them. We lay it
down as a safe farm maxim, THAT it
is not good business for a farmer to
buy what his soil will produce" There
are some exceptions growing out Of
the farmers capacity. Il he does not
know how TO grow any particular crop,
he had better pay the penalty of his
ignorance By hiring somebody who
does know to grow that particular crop
for him. But we can grow wheat al
most anywhere, and we should do 30.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR IT.
We say emphatically, break the sod
deep, and the subsoil too, If it is hard
and dry. Wheat roots will grow four
and half feet down into the earth, if
given a chance to do so. Thus you
see you furnish so much more feeding
room for the plants by plowing deep.
Soil broken - inches furnishes about
ten times the feeding space it does
when broken only four. You ask how
this is done. Just this way: When
you plow only four inches, there is
hard layer Of earth, called hard-par,

Written for The Progressive Farmer by
the Editor, and Guy z. Mitchell.
An article of unusual merit is that
which we present to cur readers this
week from the pen of Prot J III, John
son, Assistant Agriculturist Of the
North Carolina Agricultural Expert
ment Station. We are sure that by
giving it a little thought and acting
upon his best Idgment, the averege
farmer will fad this arti Gle alone worth
the price Of a years subscription to
Tne Progressive Farmer. Rad it and
think it over" Prot Johnson's sug
gestions as to rape growing will be vel
coined by those interested in this crop,
while his statement of the value Of
peas and rape when fed in connection
with corn should be carefully studied
by all who have hogs to tatten. It is
evident that the present system of
feeding corn alone is very wasteful
one.
On page s Prof. Emery answers a
number Of questions relating to live

pasture had feeding value equivalent
to2 600 pounds of the mixture by weight
OF corn two parts and wheat mid
dlings one.
The North Carolina farmer cannot
hope to get near such high feeding
value from a given area in rape. But
as land and labor costs much less here
than further North, the return from a
given cash outlay would not be against
the Southern man. Trials at the North
Carolina Experiment Station farm for
several years past and at the College
farm during the past spring show that
rape is valuable crop for both hogs
and sheep in this section.
Rape is a cool weather plant, and
therefore is of value to this State as a
mid. summer or early fall crop. Bat
il planted on we'll prepared land late in
S }ptember or early October and not
graz2d while very young or while the
ground is frozen or very wet it will
furnish good pasturage from the mid
die of November to the middle of May
or first of June.
Larger yields will be secured by
planting two or three pounds Of seed
per acre in rows from two feet to thirty
inches apart and thin the plants to
from two to three inches apart in the
row. It should be cultivated often
enough while young to keep the sur
face soil fine and free from weeds, but
as soon as the plants are large enough
to shade the ground cultivation should
cease until the crop is grazed off early
in the spring. Then the use of fine
toothed culti7ator will hasten the
growth for later spring grazing.
II a smaller yield is sufficient COM
pensasion for lees work and pains in
cultivating the soil may be prepared
in the fall just as for crop Of turnips
then SOW from three to five pounds of
rape seed per acre. Cover the seed
with rake or light drag after which
no cultivation will be required.
Rape is rank feeder requiring
rather moist, but not swampy, rich
soil for it's best development. It will
not give satisfactory yields on thin,
poor or hard soils. It consumes much
of the soil nitrogen and therefore it
had better form part Of crop rota.
ton in which peas or clover occupy
prominent place.
The D Eart Essex and the Victoria
are the only varieties at this time
which may be safely cultivated.
Our advice TO the farmer is to try
rather a small field in rape the first
year then as it's habits of growth and
uses become better known the proba
bility of loss from larger crops will not
be nearly 90 great.
