chase has been made In Kansas of 45O
bushels Of this seed, including g varieties
OF the highest type of sweet sorghum.
TIE sorghum crop Of the South and

by correspondent Guy e. Mitchell as
saying, ''has become in the lasG ten
years one Of remarkable importance.
The breeding Of pedigree sorghum cane
Of the sRccharine kinds has reached q

cnange from narrow tires to wide tires
than it does to have to use roads which
have been cut TO pieces by the narro "
tires. Wealthy couD tries can afford to
macadamizs their roads repidIy and to
remacadamize them when they are
worn out. A poor mans country can
hardly afford to do this. But what he
can aftord to do, and what he cannot
afford to leave undone. is to properly
grade and drain the public roads and
throw out the rocks, and where there
IS too much clay, spread little eand
and gravel or broken stone over the
surface, which, where wide tires are
used, will generally prevent it's being
cut up into ruts and mudholes, even
during bad winter weather.
Wealthy communities can afford to
macadamize their highways; but in
agricultural communities such as we
have all ever the South the practicable,
cheap and sensible solution of this all
important public roads problem lies in
the use OF convicts Supplemented by
other labor when necessary to i'm
prove the grade and surface of our
earth roads in the simple way, and
then to use on these roads only wide
tired wagons. Let US get cut of the
ruts; and quit mUdhoIes and begin the
new century with new life, and new
determination to have better roads,
and build up our State.

WASTE OF MANURE.

An Oklahoma correspondent asks:
Is there not great less by evaporation
in hauling manure and spreading it on
the surface of the land and thus ex-
posing it to the sun and strong winds :"
Wecan answer, none whatever. Con
sider a moment what the sun and wind
can do. It can evaporate the water
which the FIST rain will restore. The
wind can carry away more or less am
monia which has been generated IN the
pile, but once generated it is lost,
whether exposed on the surface or i'm.
mediately plowed under, There will
be waste, if instead of scattering it on
the sur ACE, it is thrown eff in large
piles, because in thi5 case fermentation
will continue, ammonia will be gen
Grated al d lost of course. The way to
do it is to haul it out and scatter it at
once. IL you have a good manure
spreader, happy you are.
Neither Is there any loss to speak of
in the was hing, even when the ground
ia covered with snow and ice. On
very stecp hillsides and under peculiar
circumstances there may be some less,
but Is is not to be spoken Of In the same
way with the loss which occurs on the
farm where it lies in the barnyaTd.
Get all the manure out that is possible
from the exposed yard. Get it on the
land SONS where. The best place to
put it is on the % eadoW or pasture.
We do not advise putting coarse ma
nure in the western section on land in
tended for corn, end plo wing it under,
because should a dry season intervene
before it is fully rotted, there is danger
of drying cut the land by having coarse
manure lying between the furrows and
the subscil.
Get out all the manure pc ssible. Get
it somewhere. Under no circumstances
can it waste as much as it will in the
barnyard. Where it is covered and
closely packed by the treading of cat
tie, the loss will be but trifling during
the summer season, for the reason that
the covering prevents bleaching and
the compression by the treadiDg OF the
cattle exc udes the air, and arrests, to
a great extent, fermentation. But,
even under theee circumstances the
manure should, if possible, be gotten
cut on the field AID Get to work. What
is the use of the farmer working all
summer while LOT of manure that
should be working for him is lying idle
In the shed, or worse still, being
0ieached away or losing its strength
by fermentation in the open yards
We know perfectly well it is not
possible for the average farmer TO get
out all the manure, even il he has to
lose. But reduce the loss as much as
possible.-Walis ca's Farmer.

POINTS OF sUCcE IS IN FRutT
CULTURE.
Practical Fruit Grower Gives Some
Points Worth Remembering,

Points Worth Remembering.
Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
There is general concensus Of opin
ION among good fruit growers that
there is profit in the business if con.
Quoted properly, bat not more than
every other man really follows the
business with just conception OF lie
needs. While local differences may
make rules and facts concerning
crops and methods Of culture inappli-
cable for all sections there are never
theless certain advice that will be Of
service all over the country. To 90
into these points Of success in detail IL
is necessary in the first place to give
not only good tillsge to the fruit trees
and bushes during the growing season,
but intelligent and methodical cult
vasion. Let the e2 peEie1ce Of one year
teach something that will make the
work Of the next more satisfactory.
Good cultivation means also good fer
til:zation, which can best be done BY
planting forage crops in the late sum
mer and covering them undeg in the
apring. Such green crops help to keep
the land warm in winter, and improve
the mechanical conditions OF il. Trees
and tender vines and bushes need
mulching in winter, and this should
be done after some system that will
make it simple but effective. A grower
of large quantities Of fruits must have
work Of this kind so systematizsd that
it can be done with the regularity and
swifEness of q machine.
When the growing season comes the
orchard must be protected from the
worms, bliRhts, mildeWs and other
pests. There is no half hearted work
that will do this, but every ounce Of
poison used in spraying should be for
purpose and intelligently applied. A
good deal of money is wasted in spray.
ing the same as considerable lie thrown
away in applying fertilizers. II you
do not know what the spray ing is for
it is better to leave it alone until you
DO. Study and observe the work OF
others. There is no question more i'm.
portant to fruit growers than that OF
thinning cut the fruit. It is hard for
some people to pull off fruit that might
be sold at profit. But the era Of poor
fruits has gone by forever, ard to
secure first class fruits it is necessary
to thin out many from every tree. By
rigidly apply ing such system one is
bound to get fancy fruits that will
command the highest market prices
These fancy fruits are the ones that
make the profits in the best markets.
If we spend as much time in raising
fancy fruits as we do In cultivating in.
fefior kinds we will surely find way
to make something more than a living.
Fancy fruit packed and marketed
properly will always dnd purchasers
even when other fruit ia drug in the
market Sometimes it is necessary to
6nd special markets for such products,
but in the end our reward will more
than repay for the energy given to the
work. O. L. BAoKUs.
