TALKS ON INSECT PESTS.
Destroy Remnants After Crop is OFF.

rs. Editors:-In two preceding articles we
rongly advocated the immediate and com
estruction of all remnants of tobacco and
ants after crop is gathered. We wish
repeat that advice and follow it with the
psuggestion as to. cotton. After the last of
App is gathered, pull up, or pillow up, pile
70 all the old stalks. There are many in
d disease germs or spores that multiply
bare for winter on the green remaining

BIS more, species of caterpillars that bore
the stem of the cotton rlant in this State,

be present.
""MP is likely that sooner or later we Will have
cotton boil weevil in this State, and for it,
of the most important measures is to destroy
plants as early in the fall as possible, not by
liking them up and leaving them on the
gund, but by pulling up bodily and burning.
will be a most excellent plan for us to get in
habit of destroying the old stalks, for they

INFANTS Immediately, pillow the land deeply and
to rye, wheat or winter oats. If you do not
want to pillow the field at least burn the remnants,
no put a check to the insects. But I might re-
bark here that the concensus of opinion among
lhe best modern farmers is that it is best to keep
3 green growing crop on all land, all the time.
Turn under some of these crops if they are need
led for humus or as a fertilizer, but never allow
old remnants and fragments of crops to remain.
They are veritable nurseries, breeding beds, and
propagation places for diseases and insect pests.

Take Care of the Ditch Banks.

Some farmers will pillow dirt into their dikes and
pillow the embankments down and occasionally run
three or four deep burrows in each dixie to pillow
them out and repair as they think the damage
they have done.
There is no excuse for a plowman to damage
a dixie or the embellishments below it. However, if
a dixie needs attention, let the embankment be
plowed up instead of blowing out the dixie. After
a dixie is made there should be no blowing in it
unless it gets filed with dirt Or unless it is too
narrow and needs a furrow thrown from each
side to make it wider. To pillow up an en-
bankment, a ridge should be made on top with two
burrows leaving an unbroken space between these
burrows about the width of a furrow. Then put
two, three or four burrows more to the ridge
making from four to six burrows in all according
to the width of the embankment. Four burrows
will usually be enough. By following this plan
you raise and strengthen the embankment and
destroy the weeds and grass. M. Beatty, in
Smithfeld Herald.
L. A. Lowder, a well known farmer, who lives
two and one-half miles south of Albemarle. be-
heves that partridges ought to be stritcly pro-
tected by law. He remembers an incident told
by a once prominent doctor in the county. that the
doctor referred to became suspicious that part
ridges were cutting down his young corn. With
gun IN hand, he followed the birds to the end
OF a long row and killed both at one shot. Upon
examining the craws Of the birds he found them
hlled with cut worms and chinch-bugs. Mr.. Low
der says that before the sports commenced killins
out the cartridges so much such a thing as q
wheat crop being damaged by these bugs wasl
hardly known. If true, then these birds shoul
be protected.-Stanly Enterprise.
