The Tobacco Situation.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Reports from Reidsville tobacco
market say it is selling for very lit
tie, hardly enough to pay expense of
marketing it,-low grades one cent
per pound; good mahogany wrappers
from 8 to 9 cents per pound, or about
five times less than warehousemen
call good average.
Before the American Tobacco
Company put in it's work the Dan
vile warehouse men reported yearly
averages of from II to 13 cents per
pound A few days ago a salesman
of the American Tobacco Company
visited one of our leading country
merchants. The merchant answered
him thus: "You wish me to buy your
tobacco and give you mine" The
merchant did not buy.
Tobacco curing is progressing
finely. Quality good; worms unus-
ually numerous; some are using Paris
green. think it dangerous to use it
this late in the season.
AS it requires the experience of
half a life time to learn how to han
die, order and bulk down tobacco so
as to keep it sound and sweet, I do
not think that farmers can success
fully compete with trusts even in
the local trade. The only thing that
can ever effectually help the tobacco
farmers is to repeal the tobacco tax
OF plug and one-pound packages of
smoking tobacco.
President Arthur in one of his
messages recommended the repeal of
the tobacco tax. President Cleve-
land in his message opposed its re-
peal. The last combine has simply
left the farmers Gin a hole"

Aside from the school roms de-
voted to ordinary common school
work, there will be some equipment
for teaching of wood working and
other work of value to farmers, and
it is expected to have a room for
teaching domestic science in a prac-
tical way.
The plan is being worked out by
President Dabney of the University
of Tennessee, and the work will be
given by r. W. Clark and wife, of the
University of Minnesota, Mr.. Clark
taking the work in agriculture and
Mrs. Clark that in domestic science.
The general plan of the work is
good and suggests the sentiment that
is arising regarding the need for ag-
ricultura1 instruction in every State.
If the scheme proves successful,
which it undoubtedly will, if for no
other reason that the mere consoli-
dation of the school, it will be an
example for many schools to follow
with proft.-Rural Voice.

Tennessee Country Agricultural School.


The Dunn County, Wisconsin,
School of Agriculture was, so far
as we know, the first attempt at
uniting a county in teaching prac
tical agriculture. From the Agri-
cultural Student we learn of some
what similar idea just now being
put into practice in a country dis
trict near Knoxville, Tenn.
Several country schools have been
consolidated and ten acres of land
purchased for a demonstration farm,
parts of which will be devoted to or
namental shrubs, to an experimental
orchard, to a vegetable garden,
fruit garden, forest and ornamental
trees, and a part will be used for
farm crops, in illustrating methods
of tillage, rotation of crops, fer
tilizing, etc.

A Texas Man on Texas Cotton.

"I note your inquiry about crops
here. The Texas crop three weeks
ago was very promising, and bid fair
to be one of the largest crops ever
made in the history of the State; but
the crop was backward and late and
therefore more subject to insect dam
age, and we have no doubt in the
world that the boil weevil and boil
worm have done very material dam
age to the prospects of three weeks
ago. However, at the same time, we
have not the least doubt that the
Texas crop will be the largest we
have had since the crop of 1900. We
do not believe that any well-posted
cotton man gives the State less than
100000 bales. Of course, continued
work of insect through September
and an early frost will further reduce
the crop, and there is a chance of
present prospects being still more re-
duced."

grass. He goes in the field with his
harrow and simply discs up the sur
face, going over it again and again
until it is perfectly fined and mellow
to depth of from four to six inches.
Now this is our idea of preparing
land for wheat. We have a field that
was in oats last year. After the oats
were cut in June we turned the land
with a disc plow, breaking it from
nine to ten inches deep. This land
we sowed in COW peas, and we have
now a fine crop prospect for a heavy
crop of peavine hay. We shall cut
these peas the last of September and
Immediately begin the preparation of
this land for wheat by working it up
with a cutaway harrow. We shall
then apply our fertilizer, which will
analyze about 10 per cent phosphoric
acid and 6 per cent potash, at the
rate of 600 pounds per acre and work
it in with the harrow. We expect to
work this land over five or six times
with the cutaway before drilling in
our seed, which we shall plant the last
of October. No nitrogen is used in
the fertilizer for wheat because in
this particular case COW peas pre-
cede the wheat containing in their
roots enough of it for the wheat crop
that is to follow. If this were not so
we should add about 4 per cent of
ammonia.
Now if you have no cutaway har-
row, you surely have one of those
muchly despised scooter plows, or
better still, double stock with two
4 inch scuoters on it. 1t will take
you longer to prepare your land, but
if you keep at it you can do very good
work indeed. First break your land
broadcast with the double stock, then
drag it down level with a log or
plank drag. Let it stand few days,
then cross break; apply your fertili-
ger broadcast and drag again. Let
this stand a week or ten days then
SOW your wheat, plow in with double
stock and drag level. If you use a
grain drill, run your seeder after
blowing and dragging the last time.
Do not try to turn under trash. 1t
is better to work it up and leave it
on the surface.
Use from one-half bushel to 2 bush
els per acre according to size of the
grain. The Fultz, Blue Stem and
Curls Prolific are good varieties for
us in this section of country. If you
live in a section where wheat is likely
to be killed by the cold, it will be ad-
visable for II to plant by the open
furrow syste,n using one of the
planters made especially for that
purpose.

Whv and How to Grow Wheat.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Mr.. W. L. Williamson, of Harmony
Grove. Ca, says that he grows wheat
for the straw. Mr.. Williamson prob
ably owns the most successful dairy
in Georgia and he wants wheat straw
TO balance his cattle ration, with en-
silage and cotton-seed meal. He re-
CARDS chopped wheat straw as much
superior to cottOn-seed hulls fer his
COWS, and will not feed any hulls so
long as his straw lasts. Of course
he has no objection to the 90 bushels
of nice wheat he makes to the acre,
but he regards the straw as one of
the most valuable parts of the crop,
to him. And yet there are hundreds
of farmers who let the straw decay
in the field and some of these farm
ers have to buy hay, and complain
about hard times and short crops.
However, there is not as much
complaint as there used to be. Our
farmers are getting ahead; they are
doing better. But the thing for us
to consider now, is how to keep
ahead. And this is another reason
why we should plant a crop of wheat
this fall. 1t will come in next sum-
mer just when we most need it to
carry us through the season, and help
US own what cotton we make. We
will then be in a position to market
our cotton more slowly, and get all
there is in it. Furthermore, we can
do the work this fall. 1t will keep
our stock employed and will, in a
measure, prevent our planting too
much cotton next year, which will be
better for us, and better for our land.
Now, if you are going to plant
wheat, by all means prepare your
land and fertilize it properly so you
Will make a good crop. Don't try to
run over a lot of ground and plant
land only half prepared. 1t won't
pay and you will lose half the bene-
nt from the fertilizer you apply. In
preparing land for wheat it is not
necessary to turn the ground upside
uo|n with big two-horse plow. You
can throw away a great deal of time
ahd labor at that kind of thing and
De none the better off. Remember
nat wheat is a surface rooted plant
Ike grass. 1t wants the first four
inches of top soil made very fine, and
good firm soil below that.
Mr.. Geo. M. Clark, who holds the
worlds record for the largest hay
crop, prepares his land principally

LiltIeIon. During the next summer
Mr.. Kendrick will devote considerable
attention to the breeding of pheasants,
so that he will be able in the fall to
make present of 100 to the, free air OF
Colorado, continuing this practice from
year to year until Colorado is as well
acquainted with the pheasant as is the
native of England. Years ago pleas
ants were imported into Oregon, and
now that state seems to be as much the
natural home of the pheasant as Eng
land or China. Edward o. Wolcott
brought in few to Wolhurst several
years ago, but his impOrtations We're
not extensive enough to produce any
noticeable effect upon the bird popula-
ton of Colorado.
The pheasant is a bird too well
known to the readers of classic Eng
lish literature to require any descrip-
ton. Its plumage is brilliant and it's
flesh is regarded as a delicacy, 1t is
one of the chief sports of King Ed
ward and the English noblemen, who
slaughter these beautiful birds by the
thousands. In Colorado it will need
only the protection of the law to guar
antee the rapid breeding of this spe-
cies of fowl, and it should prove of
benefit to the state to have them
brought in.
