TALKS ON INSECT PESTS.
I1.-Spraying Where New Pests Come From.
ors Progressive Farmer:

Editors Progressive Farmer:
Sometime ago we had an article in this paper
urging that apple and pear trees be sprayed this
spring. In that article it was stated that it was
already time to be getting ready for the work if
it was to be undertaken. But we are still getting
letters from Progressive Farmer readers asking
for the circulars spraying apparatus. It is
now rather late to be ordering a spray pump if
it is intended to spray apple and pear trees be-
fore they bud out. You should have attended to
it promptly when that article appeared But.
better late than never, and if you order good
pump Immediately you may yet get it in time to
make the second and third applications, and these
should give some benefit if you do not get
in the first application at the proper time At
any rate you will have it for another season. See
advertisements of spraying apparatus ap-
pearing in The Progressive Farmer.
Thus far the season has not been very favorable
to spraying. The winter hung late and
the spring is rainy that application is apt
to be somewhat washed off, but we sprayed most
of trees last week nevertheless, and expect to
spray the remainder in day or two. Of course
if it keeps on rainy the trees are not apt to set
much fruit, but we must take our chances about
that, and if our spraying proves a failure this
year, shall not be at all shaken in our faith in
the operation for there is not the slightest doubt

THE CROPPING SYSTEM IN THE SOUTH.
Great Opportunities for Men Who Will Manage
Large Plantations
Editors Progressive Farmer:


The bar against any real development of agri
culture in the South to-day is the ruinous crop
ping system SO long as the tenants merely take
a piece of land for the purpose of growing
crop of cotton year after year, just long will
the lands of the South be run down and rendered
and more unproductive
The only way out of this is the total abolish
ment of this ruinous system-or rather lack of
any system When men with means realize the
great profit that may be made in real farming
with cotton, and adopt good system of farming
and a rational tenant system, the cotton country
may be made to blossom a
But to get real tenant farmers, the farms must
be provided with dwellings, and outbuidings suit
able for real farming, and where men of means
and intelligence will be willing to live. The little
cabins and log novels for mules are the bane of
improvement, for will occupy them but the
negro croppers men too poor and unintelgent
to be entrusted with the care of the land.
During the past winter I visited a section in
Maryland where the efforts Of one man have
changed the whole agriculture of the county
The late VIM. Mckinney of Queen Anne Coun-
ty, Md, died a few years ago with an assessment
the tax books of his county of one million dol
lars in real estate, all of which he made since the
war III farming WIN tenants. mere are now on
the Mckinney estate forty-two farms, each with
a good equipment of buildings and each occupied
by intelligent farmer. All cultivated
on share rent. The rotation is corn, wheat and
clover in a three-year rotation. The costs are
nearly possible divided between landlord
and tenant, the tenant being required to keep
stock enough to eat the roughage, for which the
landlord gets the manure as rent, the grain crops
being divided No hay roughage of any
sort is allowed to leave the farm, and all manure
belongs to the farm, and must be regularly ap
piled to the corn crop. The wheat is the great
money crop, though corn is also sold. This sys
tenn involves the getting of tenants who have
stock and means for farming. The landlord pays
for one-half the lime applied every four five
years and half th fertilizer for the wheat, which
is generally only acid phosphate
The result is that the farms have rapidly in
creased in productiveness and landlord and ten
ants have both done well, and the farms are in
constant demand by men who are able and will
ing to farm well. The system is extending
through the neighboring counties. In the ad-
joining county of Kent, Capt. Andrew Woodall
