Crop Conditions in the East; A Word About Painting
Editors Progressive Farmer:

In to now we have had a most remarkable sea-
son: no rain from March 81 to June 70. Inns
drought ruined the Irish potatoes, spring oats,
clover. made pastures short and gardens late. We
are having rains now and crops are improving.
Corn, cotton and field peas are good, cotton espe-
cially. We have had no labor, but then we haven't
needed much, and now the crops are so far ad-
vanced we can take care of it with the ploughs
and cultivators. Stand of peanuts is the poorest
we ever had. From some cause they would not
come up; this is the case throughout the eastern
part of the peanut belt.
As I have had no grass to contend with, l
have acted on the advice of the lamented Harry
Farmer, and enlarged my flower yard, making
room on the south for small flowers, the shrubs
being on the north side. We have an abundant
crop of flowers this spring, of all sorts. The
magnolias are still blooming and the great bios
whole lot.
I have also availed myself of the leisure time
to paint my house. This had not been done in
eleven years, and was much needed. As soon as
crop is over I shall whitewash my fence and out
buildings.
Some farmers never paint. They build expen-
sive buildings but seem to think that painting is
a superfuity, but there is nothing more economi-
cal than a coat of well-prepared white lead and
linseed oil. To this can be added coloring to suit
the taste. Ten pounds of quick lime, 10 pounds
of -four, Is pounds salt, S pounds glue, well mixed,
and put on hot makes a good whitewash. Mix with
so gallons of water. J. ii. PARKER.

young corn. To do this I take off one disc on
each gang Git is a 1920, then spread the gangs
all the frame will allow. Take off seat and scrap
ers. Two. horses and a bright boy go over corn in
a hurry the first time as the disc cut next to the
corn, rolling dirt and trash toward the middle,
leaving it there high and loose ready to be worked
back. They finish a row at each passage, working
most of the middle both ways; efectually rolling
grass and weeds when young. Can use this until
corn is a foot high by working back with little
A frame cultivator between.
I saw my range cattle Monday. They are fat
and fine in the mountains. Pasture is good every
where.
Plenty of rain so far; rather more than we like
on grain in shock.
My colts are growing beautifully and their hard
worked mothers begin to. gain some. I hope to
give you some good sensible articles soon. This
ramble is merely to let you know that I am not
losing interest in The Progressive Farmer.

Preparation for the Wheat Crop.

Fallowing should begin in July for the wheat
crop. The earlier the green vegetable matter is
turned under the better prepared will the soil
be for the seeding of the wheat crop. The use of
disc plows is becoming very common in all the
wheat-growing sections of the South, and they
are far more satisfactory than the mold-board
turning pillow. They not only turn the green crop
under more completely, but they will turn under
sassafras and other bushes an inch in diameter.
The attention of the writer was called to this
fact last fall in seeing a farmer using the disc
pillow on a part of a bushy field and a turning
pillow on the other. Not a bush could be seen
where the disc pillow was used, but not one-haf
the bushes we're uprooted by the three-horse
turning plow.-Exchange.

Worlds Fair Special Stock Prizes.
Madison Co., N. @.

The final edition of the prize-list of the Live
Stock Department of the st. Louis Exposition
will soon be ready for distribution to intending
exhibitors. 1t will be the most complete classif-
cation ever prepared for an exhibit of live stock
and will include all breeds of domestic animals of
utility to man.
The various live stock pedigree record associ-
ations and the leading specially clubs with few
exceptions have made a very liberal provision in
the way of special prizes for the encouragement
of exhibits of the breeds in which the respective
organizations are especially interested.

provide liberal special prizes which, if sent soon to
the Chief of the Department, can be announced iii

Exposition.

Farm Notes From the Mountains.
P~erquimans Go, N. @.

Editors Progressive Farmer:
Your kind inquiry is at hand. I am not dead,
nor sleeping, nor gone on a spree, but oh! SO busy.
Since [ wrote last our commencement has taken
place. Eighty odd boys and girls have gone out
from us to their homes or to make their way in
the world-better, we hope, for having been with
us. How much better yet they might have been if
we had been more patient, faithful and efficient,
it makes us sad to think. Our Father knows that
we love them, and have tried to help them, and we
trust that His divine wisdom and power will over
rule the mistakes of our human weakness and ig-
norance.
We are laying by some very fine corn and at
the same time working some for the first time that
was planted on freshly turned rye stubble only
ten days ago. Have some oat stubble that 1 want
to turn and SOW to crimson clover. All our wheat
stubble is in grass and clover, and a fine stand.
We cut some as good wheat as this country ever
sees.
My potatoes are laid by and done blooming.
They certainly Look fine. Those drill planted
cover the ground completely; rows three and a
half feet apart.
Our alfalfa is a fine stand, and did well awhile,
but seems to be standing still and turning yellow.
1t is from six inches to a foot high. Some few
plants blooming slightly. Can't some of the breth-
rem ADVISE me What TO 40. 1nls Il NY nrsC eN-
perience with the crop. The land is sandy loan;
well MANFRED, porous, stony subsoil. Weeds are
making a strong show in one patch. Think of
cutting it and believe I should apply nitrogen in
some form. What is best?
I am trying to keep up the chore work, and
direct the boys in the field. Have just ripped out
four pillow beams this evening, two heavy turning
plows and two single stocks. I use the broken
factory beam for a pattern and cut them out very
readily with a sharp rip saw.
This morning I set the disc harrow to work
