Teachers III Agriculture.

Secretary Wilson, OF the Department
of Agriculture, made an instructive adj
dress yesterday before the Commission
ers' convention! lie Is n very practical
man, and he easily impresses one with
the fact that his work thoroughly ab-
serbs him, and that he is in love with it.
Mr.. Wilson says that the South need
rot be afraid OF being overrun by foreign
Immigrants as she will get practically
all the settlers she needs from the North
ern States. He feels sure that the North
erners will come along, because the South
leads all sections In the abundance CT
cheap lands. and has the advantage of
all other sections In climate and in
climatic conditions suited to all branches
Of industry.
The Secretary spoke with much earnest
ness OF the need of instruction for our
young men in the art of farming decIar-
Ing that Virginia should now have ut
least 1--WE thousand youths in training
for agricultural pursuits. It is u wise
saying If wa want to make of a bow
a lawyer, or doctor, we send him TO
school and then to college, and give him
the hest preliminary training before put
ting him to study law or medicine. II
we want to mako mechanic OF him, VIC
give him common school education. We
| send him to q technical college, and we
! then put him through a course OF prac-
tical training In the shop. But If we

sort of disadvantage for the farmer,,
how can We expect agriculture to keen

most of it's damage in the latter part
of the winter season. This disease is
particularly bad in sections where
clover has been grown for long time;
in fact, it is so prevalent in the clover
growing sections of this country that
clover has come to be regarded as
practically a biennial. The writer
knows of farms in the western part
of the state of Washington where this
disease has apparently not yet gotten
a foothold on which there are clover
fields fifteen years old that are still
making very good crops. The trouble
is, therefore, probably not due to win
ter killing, but to the work of a fungus.
A careful examination of the old clov-
er plants in February or March will
show on the lower part of the stems
and on the crown, hard, blackish-cOl-
ored Jumps which apparently have
burst through from the inside of the
plant, and it is the fungus which pro-
duces these that kills the clover. In
some parts of Pennsylvania and New
FORK the most progressive farmers
have adopted a very different method
of starting their clover, that enables
them to get full crop the first year
and in most cases good crop the
second year. They do not, however,
sow the clover in the spring. They
put the land in the finest possible filth
and SOW clover or clover and timothy
together, the latter part of August
without nurse crop. The next year
they get large crops of hay. Whether
it would be possible for your CORE
SpOndent to succeed with this meth
cd, on his soil, would of course, have
to be ascertained by experiment 1t
may be that the young clover would
not live through the first winter in
his section. The experiment is GER
tainly worth trying because of the I'M
questioned success with which this
method has met in the states men
toned"

THE FIELD
The Winter Killing of Glover.

In many sections where the raising
of clover is carried on extensively
farmers often find, after a winter has
passed, that their clover has died
through what is known as winter
killing" In some parts of the mid
die west the cause was generally
attributed to the severity of the win
ter, acting upon the soil in freezing
and destroying the llfe of the clover
roots. This matter came to the atten-
ton of Prof. w. J. Spillman, agrostol-
ogist of the department of agriculture,
through an inquiry in Wallace's Farm
er, of Des MOines, Iowa, and he took
it upon himself to give the readers of
that paper some information which
was not generally known in connec-
ton with the winter killing of clover.
Prof. Spillman's article is reproduced
below, and The Ranch would suggest
that those who have clover patches
which do not seem to be doing we'll at
this time should examine them and
see if the fungus mentioned by the
professor exists in their fields. Prof.
Spillman wrote
con page SO of your issue of jan
uary 81 correspondent speaks of his
clover winter killing, and asks for a
method of securing crop of clover
the same year from spring seeding.
While | am not sure that | can help
your correspondent, l have a sugges-
ton to make which I think is worth
trying under his conditions. 1t is
pretty we'll settled in my mind that
the apparent winter killing of clover is
due to a fungus disease which does

Beans.

Select the warmest soil in the gar
den for the planting of beans. Do not
plant until the soil is thoroughly warm
and weather conditions are settled, as
you will find that late paintings will
produce more and better beans than
where planted too early. Beans re-
quire rich soil and will stand heavy
fertilization. Bush beans should be
planted about four feet apart in hills
and one and a half inches deep. Bush
varieties are mostly grown in the
Northwest, although many of the pole
varieties make excellent beans if prop
erly staked up.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-04-15
Pumpkins.

This vegetable thrives best in a
warm, sandy loan, but should not be
planted until all danger of frost is
over, and on the west coast until the
land is thoroughly warm. In grow
ing table pumpkins, if there is dan
ger of their not maturing, they may
be benefited by pruning. Confine the
vines to about three runners and when
the fruit is set cut off the tops of
the vines. This throws all the energy
of the plant into producing fruit, AMI
at the same time allows the sunlight
to penetrate through the vines.

Onions.

For young onions sets are generally
planted in rows about II or IA inches
apart and about one and half inches
apart in the row. This will give very
early green onions. For dried onions
seed is of course sown, and it re-
quires a rich, well-drained loan. No
other soil should be used if it can pos
sibly be avoided. The land should be
very rich and it is absolutely neces
sary that it should have raised hoed
crop the previous season. 1t is a mis-
take to attempt to grow onions on
weedy or rundown land. To get the
best results a top dressing of we'll
rotted barnyard manure should be
used, at the rate of 20 wagon loads per
acre, and well worked into the soil.
