could not give the name. After con-
siderable work and postage he found
it was the Cole planter advertised
in The Progressive Farmer. If
when you hear of one and find it to
be just what you need, when men
tioning it, just say the Cole Planter,
Red Ripper Press, Wilson's Bone
Mill, etc. The manager of The Pro
gressive Farmer can get the manu-
facturers to advertise the goods so
that it will be easy for the farmers
to get them. In this hustling age
when labor is so scarce every one is
anxious to get all the labor saving
tools to be had if the cost is not too
great. Not only that, but you will
be helping the manufacturer, the
paper and your brother farmer. It
will give the worker in the shop more
to do and he in turn will buy more
of the farmers potatoes, apples,
pork, etc. Then it will help to make
the paper better.

Corn has not all been planted; a
good deal was brought up by the
rainfall this week, and that up grew
nicely; most of the early corn has
received first blowing; in counties
suffering from drought much re-
planting will have to be done. The
rains caused cotton to come up nice
ly, though all is not yet up; planting
is practically finished; cotton plants
are very small, but have improved,
stands are better and chopping is
underway. The weather was excel
lent for the work of transplanting
tobacco in the northern counties
where it progressed rapidly, while
the crop shows some improvement.
A number of crop correspondents
state that wheat is better than ex-
pected, though the yield will be
short; harvesting early wheat and
oats has just begun in a few places;

Planting peanuts is well advanced

for fruit of all kinds continues fair

S. P. GENTRY.
Person Co., N. G.

We thank Mr.. Gentry for his kind
words. We shall be glad to have our
friends who have studied the matter
discuss the effect of cowpeas on to-
bacco. Here are the views of Prof.
W. F. Massey, of the North Carolina
Agricultural Experiment Station:
Il think that the trouble arises
from the fact that tobacco growers
fail to realize the amount of nitro
gen the peas get for them, and after
growing the peas they put the same
fertilizer on the ground that they
would have applied without the peas
and there is an excess of nitrogen,
causing a rank and late growth.
Then, too, they sow the peas the year
before on thin land with no fertilizer
and cut the peas off, and this of
course reduces the amount of phos-
phoric acid and potash in the land in
an available form, since peas will
use these up as fast as any crop that
can be planted. Now, if instead of
merely sowing the peas they would
give them a good dressing of acid
phosphate and potash they would not
only get a heavier crop of peas but
would gather more nitrogen from the
air into the soil. Then the following
season, when the land is put in to-
bacco, use no nitrogen of an organic
character, but only a small amount,
say 100 pounds per acre of nitrate
of soda to give the crop a good send
off, and then depend upon the or
ganic nitrogen the peas have furnish
ed for the completion of the crop.
I feel sure that by the proper course
of culture I could not only grow to-
bacco after peas, but could grow 8
high grade of leaf. [ know that the
general opinion among tobacco grow
ers is that peas injure the quality of
the tobacco the following season, but
I believe that it is not the fault of

Sowing Peas on Tobacco Lands.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Enclosed find money order for
which continue to send me The Pro
gressive Farmer. I do not see how
I could do without The Farmer. It
is good paper to have in any home
and is doing a great work.
We in this part of the country have
been sowing cowpeas on tobacco
land, and the tobacco does not grow
well after peas. Will you please tell
me through The Progressive Farmer
what it is about peas that hinders
the land from growing good tobacco ?
Hoping to see something on this sub
ject soon, I remain

AGRICULTURE
HARRY FARMERS TALKS.
CXXII.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
AS the weather grows warmer flies
increase. Horses and cattle suffer
2 great deal from the bites of these
insects. Cattle should have some
thing like fish oil, coal tar mixed with
grease. carbolic acid mixed with oil,
and lots of other things that can be
used to keep the flies away.
KEEPING FLIES OFF STOCK.
1t will richly pay any farmer to
try it. When mich COWS have to fight
flies all day you may expect the milk
supply to decrease. A very little of
the above-named articles will keep
flies off horses and mules. Too much
applied to a horse will some times
make him sick. We can but feel for
the dumb brute that is so harnessed
that he can not defend himself when
the flies are piercing his sensitive
skin and great drops of blood trickle
from the wound the fly has made. No
one who cares for dumb animals will
let them suffer when it is so easy to
prevent it. The extra feed required
to keep the animals in fair condition
when bitten by flies will cost a great
deal more than the small amount paid
for oils. etc, to keep the insects off.
GOOD TEACHERS FOR COUNTRY
SCHOOLS.
Do you want the best school teach
ers! Now is the time to begin to
look after one. Many committees
put off employing until all the best
ones are engaged. Good teachers,

ING advance the children faster than
old ones. The improvements are as
great in teaching as in farming tools.

vldual stars are in the number The team
includes Yerxa a nd fowler in the hurdles.
Hunter IN the dashes, fowler in the
jumps. and many other good athletes who
are expected to take seconds and thirds if
not firsts. 1t is we'll known that seconds
and thirds are the points which throw the
balance one way or the other in track
meets, rather than firsts, and Central has
always neen strong In athletes of good
enough class to score in this manner
East high counts largely on Shedd, the
Splinter who is counted on for first in the
40 and 44o-yard dashes. North high ex-
poets Morrill, to win the high jump and
button the broad jump, while Barnes
should get place in the mile run.
The South high team won the indoor
nigh school meet at the university arrnory
this winter, but since that time Myrick,
the great standby of South high for years
past. in both football and track meets. has
left school, and South high has practically
only two point-winners, Bang and Ca

st. Paul Central expects to make a
strong fight for first honors. Mcdonald,
who broke the high school record for the
high jump in the trial meet, is expected to
carry off first place in this event. Boxall

points In both events. Corrigan will make
