Mississippi State News

If so it will be worth thousands of
dollars TO our State.
There are other insects in the
State that need constant attention
and experimentation TO discover the
best means of preventing their raw
ages. Work along this line is being
most vigorously pushed both by the
Mississippi Agricultural and Me-
chanical College and the experiment
station. What We need most, how
ever, at this time, is strict inspec-
ton and quarantine law, by which
We NAV exclude these notorious pests
from the State.

Making High Grade Cider vinegar

Making High Grade Cider Vinegar.
In making cider for vinegar it is my
plan to use all varieties of apples, those
ripening in October being preferable,
as they contain more sugar, cOnse-
quently the resulting cider and vinegar
will be of a higher grade than when
made from early ripening kinds. If
you have plenty of room, put the cider
away in barrels in some airy building,
leaving the bung out. Keep the build
ing moderately warm during the win
ter, using a little fire during the cold
est days. This heat will retain the
vinegar making process. In year and
a half from the time the cider was put
in the barrels you should have excel
lent vinegar. When the vinegar is as
strong as you want It, rack out into
other vessels, then rinse the barrels
and they can be used again. The de
mand for cider vinegar is good now
as a number of states have pure fooC
laws regulating the sale of vinegar a:
well as other food products.-COr New
England Homestead.

HAIRY VETCH.

Seed Growing PrOlitable-Necessit
of InOcuIatiOn on Some Lands.
The following information relating to
the growing of the hairy vetch for seed
is furnished by the bureau Of plant in
dustry of the United States department
of agriculture, through its seed labOra-
tory, in response to numerous inquiries
on the subject:
The cultivation of hairy vetch has in
and would be much more common if
the seed was raised in this country, and
especially ON the farms where it is to
be soWn.
Practically all of the seed now used
in the United States is imported from
Europe. During the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1903, over $4,000 pounds of
this seed was brought in.
Experiments have been carried on by
the seed laboratory of the bureau for
two years in St. Mary's county, Md,
and the past year in Wayne county, o.,
to determine the practicability of grow
ing the seed in this country. From the
results of these trials it is evident that
the seed can be produced at a profit
over a wide area of the United States.
Great difficulty has been experienced
in harvesting the seed when grown
alone. 1t ripens very unevenly and if
left until most of the seed is mature il
becomes matted on the ground and
shells and mOlds badly. 1t was found
that by sowing with rye a sufficient
support was furnished to keep it off the
ground and allow it to be cut easily
with moving machine. Rye seems
best adapted as a supporting crop OIL
account of the time of ripening and the
stiff straw.
The best results were obtained will
seeding from One-half to three-fOurth'
bushels of vetch and One-half bushel Of
rye to the acre, sowing from the middle
to the last of September
The crop should be cut about tn
time the last pods are formed and tn
vines are getting dry. The cutting i
done with an ordinary moving ma
chine, after which the vines and straw
should be put in piles and allowed t
dry. The thrashing can be done wit
an ordinary grain thrashing machine.
The four acres in Ohio yielded
bushels of vetch and 81 bushels of rye
In Maryland the storms knocked tn
/ rye down so it did rot fill well, but tn
four acres yielded Is bushels of veto
and bushels of rye. Reports froI
Mississippi show a yield of from
J { bushels per acre in that state.
In many instances hairy vetch ha
been sOwn and proved a failure unde
ordinary cultivation. AS it is adapte
to a considerable variety of soils an
wide area it is certain that the failuI
in most instances is due to the absenC
of the organism which produces tt
root tubercles and has the property
fixing the free nitrogen in the air, maj
ing it available for plant food.
Unless hairy vetch has already bee
grown successfully on a piece
ground it should be inOculated to i
sure success. Inoculating material w
be furnished by, and all inquiries co
cerning it should be addressed to, Il
bureau of plant industry, United Stat
department of agriculture, WashingtO
The department has no seed of hai
vetch for distribution.
