discuss the labor question. The edi-
torial from the Southern Ruralist is
especially good. You cannot expect
to be able to keep good help unless
lar employment. The best and most
reliable hands are sure to go where
they can have steady work all the
year. 1t is only the trifling worthless
hands that are willing to live on,
working few days now and then
and loafing more than they work.
We know of negro labOrers who have
stayed on at one place for several
years working every day that they
were able, and willing to work. OF
course. the best of them must have
holiday occasionally. and sometimes
when it is very incOnvenient to spare
them. Still there is no doubt that
they will Co much better when as
srlred of regular employment all the
time. Therefore it pays to arrange
your work or crops so that it will
be possible for you to furnish steady
work. to a certain number of hands,
all through the year. Then it will
he possible for you to get the pick
of the labOrers. The Importance of
keeping your word with hired help
cannot be too strongly emphasized.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 1, 1905.
Alfalfa or Alsike?

If you have any use for large
supply of green feed and have not
yet tested the worth of alfalfa. We
advise you to arrange for such Il test
at once. Now is the proper time to
SOW the seed in Florida. Make the
soil as rich as possible and use as
much stable manure on the land as
is available The land should be
moist and freshly plOwed when you
SOW the seed. but it will not thrive
on land where the water level ut any
time comes nearer than within 4 or
> feet of the surface.
If your land is lower than this,
then you had better try alsike or
Swedish clover. This can be grown
on soil that is much too wet for
alfalfa. While it is not by any means
equal to alfalfa, it is still very valu-
able forage crop, and deserves TO be
more widely grown than it has been.
This week we print four accounts of
the experience of farmers at the
North. We see no reason. why it
should not do equally well or better
in this state. We do not advise put
ting out a large crop of it but only
so much as you can ensure a very
rich soil for, even if not over a
quarter of an acre. This will give you
a test of its value OH your land and
if it succeeds, it will furnish inOcu-
lated soil with which you can insure
wish it.

Velvet Beans Poisonous.

Elsewhere will be found, this week,
a letter written to the Experiment
Station, also Prof Corners answer.
While there is no doubt that this
family were poisoned by eating vel
vet beans. yet it is also true that
many other families have eaten them
without any injurious effects. Pos
sibly the method of cooking has some
thing to do with it. we know Of one
family that has used them and suf-
fered no Inconvenience. They soaked
the beans over night in soda water
and then boiled them up in the morn
ing. i'm the soda water, poured it off,
boiled them up again in a clear water,
poured that off. then cooked them and
they were good and harmless. Still,
If you have never tried them
it would be safer to let them alone.

Labor Question.

Taken i'll connection with well en-
forced vagrancy law, the suggestion
of correspondent of the Southern
tultivator seems to promise an almost
complete solution of the labor prob
ZEN. Of course, it is impossible to
e, er bring all the people to agree to
amy such thing, or if they do promise,
50 many VIII violate the agreement,
dL The nrst temptation, that it will
not amount to anything.

WISH to write Il little piece on the la
Dor question.
lie time has come when all land
iorus, big renters and OverSeers have
got 20 come under one rule. Let my

and the syrup is equal to that made
from the ribbon cane. then it will
be much more desirable for those who
wish to make syrup for market as
it can be boiled to point where there
is no danger of its fermenting the
