Bird superstitIons.

In many parts of England there are
curious superstitlons about birds. The
stonechat. for instance, is believed to
be continually chatting with the evil
one. so 1t Is held in bad repute, and as
the raven commonly impersonates his
sable majesty 1t is ranked in the same
category of evil birds. Sometimes, how
eyer. the ravens appearance, so it is
held, forebodes a death,

his dealings. AS a matter of self
protection the honest, reliable nur-
seryman should always send printed
instructions about handling the trees
when received. Plain, simple rules
should be printed in large type, tell
ing the farmer what to do in any pos
sible emergency. In this way the
loss would be greatly reuced. Many
times receivers of trees hardly un-
derstand the first principles of hand
ling them, and they are just as likely
to kill them as to make them grow.

Sow Wheat Late and Escape the Fly.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Farmers throughout the Piedmont
section should take warning from
the past and SOW their wheat late
this year so as to escape injury by
the Hessian fly. We gave such
complete account of the insect in
The Progressive Farmer for June 2,
this year, that we will not repeat it
here. Let me, however, lay down a
few guiding rules for lodging the
fly this fall.
If there is no wheat up when the
fall brood of flies emerges, they must
either die without depositing eggs,
or must lay them elsewhere than on
the wheat. No eggs no fy,-and the
field in which none of the eggs are
laid will not be hurt, for the mag
gots which hatch from the eggs can
not go from one field to another. All
the fields in a community may be
seriously damaged year after year
if they be sown in September or Oc-
,tober, while the one farmer who does
not SOW until the middle of Novem-
Der will escape injury in nine years
out of ten. We should say, there
fore, that as a general rule wheat
should be sown not earlier than the
first of November in order to escape
injury.
It may be argued in objection to
this that in some sections November
is too late. In such cases, we would
advise that the sowing be delayed two
or three weeks later than is usually
done; or, if this would still throw it
too late in the season, then SOW just
as late as can be done safely.
If the Hessian fly does the usual
amount of damage this year it will
not be upon the farms of those who
follow this advice.

culture, Raleigh, N. @.

AGRICULTURE
Green Manurial Plants for the Southern
States.

States.
Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:
The great value of green manures
for the light and humus-lacking soils
of the cotton region is now general
" appreciated by all the more intel
Tgent farmers. 1t is well known
that soils lacking in humus burn
out in dry summer weather,-rarely
giving over half the crop that SINH
lar soil well stocked with humus af-
fords, when both soils get the same
amount of fertilizer and tillage.
There is an unfortunate tendency
among cotton growers to depend too
much upon commercial fertilizer for
making the crop. Commercial fer
tilizer is always profitable when ap-
piled to soil rich in humus, but
on humus-lacking, and therefore
droughty, soils neither commercial
fertilizer nor anything else can in
sure a good yield in dry seasons. Ow-
ing to the mild winters of the cotton
region, there is no reason why all
cotton fields should not carry a win
ter crop of some legumine, which
will furnish a good supply of vege-
table matter to turn under in spring
in plenty time to prepare the land
for either cotton or corn or almost
any crop grown in the Southern
States.
Of the many legumines available
for winter growth in the cotton re-
giOn, there is no reason why all cot
ton fields should not carry a winter
crop of some legumine, which will
furnish good supply of vegetable
matter to turn under in spring in
plenty time to prepare the land for
either cotton or corn or almost any
crop grown in the Southern States.
Of the many legumines available
for winter growth in the cotton re-
glon, probably the best is Crimson
CIover,-trifolium incarnatum. This
clover is perfectly hardy and adapt
ed to the soils of the cotton region.
