what an Acre viii DO.

In cattle production an acre OF lahu
in Inc middle South in Bermuda grass
Ndll probably carry one animal ior
ebout seven months; an acre OF Due
grass in the North will 90 this, Lana
I'm the South is much cheaper than IN
tKe North, and hence taxes ana the
necessary investments are less Inc
Southern farmer on his acre OF land
can produce two crops a year II need
be. A cereal crop. for example, fof
grain production; this may be barley
oats or rye, to be followed the same
year BY cowpeas or soy beans for nay
br grain, For this crop he can obtain
possibly twenty or twenty-five bushels
OF grain and two or more tons OF nay
quite as rich and valuable as alfalfa.
He may follow his cereal crop win
sorghum and cowpeas or corn and peas
for siage with the expectation OF get
ting ten to twelve tons of the latter
per acre. If he chooses he may have
n pasture Of rye through part of the
winter and early spring after the Ber'
muda grass is gone. He can also have
succession Of forage crops laid down
as pastures through about seven
months Of the year, provided he has
not Bermuda grass and cannot have
tie tame grasses. By coupling Texas
blue grass with Bermuda he can have
q permanent pasture through pract
caly all the year, The great draw
back to this plant, Of course, is the
Texas blue grass roots, but the South
ern farmer who is patient and indus
trious, can start with n few Of thes'
which he can afford to purchase, and IL
a short, time establish quite n large
area of this pasture. Bermuda grass
for pasture, will grow on almost any
type Of soil, and can be easily ant
cheaply established; more so probably
than blue grass.
OF course Southern soils, in order tc
get the results indicated above, mus
b. well treated, but no more so than il
Illinois or Indiana. They will also re
spond to good treatment as quickly
and as surely as soils in those States

There are thousands of acres In the
South which, when first cleared, were
in an unproductive, condition, by rea-
son Of lack Of humus. The red clay
uplands of the South have naturally
less humus than similar lands in the
North, for in our open woodlands the
leaves are blown away to the hollows
and bottoms in winter, while in the
North they are packed down by snow
and held to rot where they fell, and
thus a larger amount Of humus or veg.
etable decay is found there. But when
these are stored with humus-maklng
matter they rapidly increase in pro-
ductiveness because Of their improved
mechanical condition. / once re-
marked to friend, a good farmer, in

Tho Granville Tobacco wilt.

The North Carolina Agricultural ES.,
pertinent Station has issued a special
bulletin no. 1881 on "The Granville
Tobacco Wilt,H the destructive dis
ease which played such havoc In
Granville last summer The authoH
are Professors f. L. Stevens and W.
G. Sackett. All interested Tobacco
growers should obtain and read the
bulletin in full, but for the benefit Of
the general public we reprint here
the general conclusions Of MessrS
Stevens and Sackett.
"The tobacco wilt is a very serious
enemy which not only Injuries The
crop. but also depreclates the value
of the land Effected, inasmuch as It
prohibits the growing Of tobacco in
the affected soils.
"It is a contagious disease spread.
ing largely through infected soil.
"There is little hope of restoring
land that is once affected. The Ut
most care should be taken therefore
to prevent the spreading Of the germ
by means OF infected tools or by any
means.
"The number of germs should b
diminished by cleaning up old fed
and by burning all diseased plants i
slightly affected fields as soon as the
are discovered,
"The greatest hope for the redemp
ton of land now affected lies In the De
velopment Of q variety Of tobacco tia
can resist the disease"
