year before, pillow and harrow, until you get the
land in the best condition you can, then SOW
broadcast, about eight or ten pounds to the acre,
about middle of April, and don't cut it the first
year, unless the crab grass gets into it. 1t so,
NOV it when the first blooms turn brown.
A very similar treatment suits the alfalfa. l
call it lucerne; the new name has got in, being
the Mexican for lucerne. By proper care you
can get a good stand, which will last fifty years
Or more; the red clover will need renovating after
five years. You can get two crops of hay from
the red cover, and four or five from the lucerne.
The preparation for the lucerne, is like the clover,
but you should SOW the alfalfa, or lucerne, in
drills 10 inches apart, and use four or five pounds
per acre.
You may cut the alfalfa when it gets a foot
high, and then every thirty days, until middle of
September, but never let an animal tread on it.
And there is no end to it's life and value, but
watch for the crab grass; it spreads in a mystic
rious way, but it is death to all crops. After you
begin to cut the alfalfa, it will cut back the grass.
It is very important to keep up the fertility of
the land, for you cannot keen up land and get
heavy crops without fertilizing heavily. Hoping
this may save some farmer from such error as
young ones make, with many good wishes, [ am,

a good plan to spray them thoroughly every
week or ten days, with Paris green In water at
the rate of one ounce of the green to SIX gallons
of water. If they are left standing and not
sprayed then blame yourself for the crop OF Hea-
beetles next year. All kinds of tobacco insects
will take advantage of these green sprouts to
multiply, but the fea-beetles are more dependent
upon them than the others, so we will here devote
a little special attention to them.
The tobacco fea-bettle not only feeds on the
tobacco, but also on the potato, tomato, eggplant,
and pepper, among our cultivated plants.-and
on the iimpson-weed, horse-nettle, night-shade
and h~usk-tomato among the wild plants. At this
time of year some of these plants are gone, as the
potato and tomato in many gardens. Therefore
the fea-bettles are concentrated on a few plants
and by destroying them carefully great numbers
of the insects will be starved out.
It is unfortunate that most of us do not look
ahead more than we do. Now that the crop is
harvested, tobacco growers are apt to pay no at
tention whatever to their insect pests until they
begin to be destructive next year. But right now
is the time to work againts the hea-bettles.
It would be a most excellent plan to pull up by
the roots all the tobacco stalks, pile, and burn
them. 1t is of great Importance that the roots
be destroyed as they contain eggs and larvae of
the Hea-DeeCles. linen a1Uer CneSe remnants nave
been thus disposed of, follow it up, if possible, by
destroying such other plants as may be near by
on which they feed.
The tobacco field which is thus left bare, may be
at once deeply plowed to bury any remnants which
may be left, and sowed to wheat, rye, winter oats,
or some other winter-growing crop which will
hold the soil and prevent washing and teaching.

OCTOBER COTTON CROP REPORT:
The Progressive Farmer the First Paper In the Country
to Print it In Full.

When the October cotton crop report was an
nounced some days ago, the newspapers of the
country gave only the average for all the cotton
States with no detailed report as to conditions
In any one State. All our exchanges were search
ed, but nowhere could this information be found;
whereupon the Editor of The Progressive Farmer
wrote the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington for a complete copy of the report, and
has since received the following reply:
"Mr. Clarence III. Poe, Editor, The Progressive
Farmer, Raleigh, North Carolina.
"Sir:-Replying to your request contained in
your letter of recent date, now just referred to
me, / send you herewith a mimeographed copy

pear in a few days in the Crop Reporter, a

A AND CLOVER.
Suggestions as to Best Methods of Growing by a
Farmer of 90 Years Experience.

Messrs. Editors Il see in The Progressive
Farmer and Cotton Plant of September 9th, an
article from H. M. Daniel, Hot Springs, N. c.,
in which he says: "Our alfalfa seems to have
failed entirely. I cut a clean crop of grab Grass
from the patch recently"
Now, as my experience fits his case precisely, I
feel it a duty to give it, as it may save other
failures. Ny age (S5) is my excuse for poor
penmanship and scattering ideas, but as I have
gone through Mr.. Daniels experience, I will be-
gin with red clover, as they need the same prepa-
ration, and In many respects are alike. About
sixty years ago, L began to farm, and wanted red
clover. L began sowing it after the plan at the
North and West, that is, to SOW the clover with
some grain (wheat preferred). Failure was the
consequence. After farming here for several
years. 1 sold out and moved to Cass (now Bar
tow, Georgia, where the land is fine, and well
adapted to clover if properly treated.
Feeling confident of success, I went to work
as before, sowing with some grain. After two or
three failures, l had made up nv mind to NOVA
again If L failed. Awhile before the time to SOW
wheat, a friend paid me a visit who had exne-
renee with clover, and suggested that I leave off
the wheat and SOW the clovers alone, both red and
Wnlte. My success was complete, and from that
day to this, L have not missed a stand. either IN

TALKS ON INSECT PESTS.
xIv.-Tobacco Pests: Destroy Remnants at Once.

Messrs. Editors: The tobacco crop for the
most part has been gathered and the old stalks
are standing in the field. These are sending out
sprouts which will remain green and growing
until cut down by frost. Upon these sprouts the
fea-bettles, tobacco-worms, climbing cutworms,
and grasshoppers are f~easting, growing fat, null
~tiplying and getting ready for the winter.
Wouldn't it be better to destroy all these rem
nants at once9 If that be done it will surely
lessen the number of these pests, especially the
hea-beetles, for next year. If you are going to
allow these remnants to remain, then it would be

A Revival Needed.
Mountville, S. O..

Messrs. Editors: It has lately been our privilege
to inspect many farms. The great need in this
region is crop rotation which lies at
the foundation of soil improvement. On the
farms that we saw the blowing was not over four
inches deep on nine-tenths of them. It is easy to
get a progressive farmer to SOW small grain, peas
and sorghum seed and break his soil Z to -
inches deep, but the majority of them are not
up to that yet. These are the ones that need the
missionary so as TO get up a revival in every
neighborhood. The agricultural papers and coun-
ty papers should constantly urge farmers to
adopt better methods. The agricultural papers
have to do the work, for there is not one county
paper in ten that ever has a line that helps farm
es in their daily work. The man who gets his
%neighbor to take a good agricultural paper is a
real missionary. In every county in this State
there are a few men whose farms are object les
sons to others.
But there are difficulties in the way of progress.
First, the tenant system retards real improve
ment. Most of the tenants make contracts by
the year. They are not interested in any i'm
provement of land or buildings.
In the second place, farm animals owned by
tenants are inferior. They are not able to do
good fall blowing. Hence the soil is scratched
about three to four inches deep and every crop
leaves the land poorer than it was when planted.
In the third place, land owners are to blame.
Many of them do not live on their farms. Just
SO they get their rent, they do not care how the
land is treated.
Let farmers lease for a term of years to such
tenants as have good stock. Or better still, let
them furnish stock and require the tenants to
use best implements. Small grain should be
sown literally so that peas can follow.
