CHEAPER FARM LAND.
Southwest Offers Best Oppor-
tunities for Securing
Homes.

Many farmers in the northern
and eastern states are selling their
high priced lands and locating in
the southwest. Many who have
been unable to own their homes in
the older country are buying land
in the new country.
Unusual opportunities exist along
the lines of the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain Route. The rich,
alluvial, delta lands and river bot
toms lands of Southeast Missouri,
Eastern Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas, capable of producing 90
bushels of corn, a bale of Gotten,
4 to 6 tons of alfalfa, so bushels of
potatoes, and other grains, vege-
tables and hay crops, can be bought
for $50 to $500 per acre. When
cleared and slightly improved will
rent for $4.00to 5000 per acre cash.
Uplands more rolling, lighter soil,
adapted to fruit growing-peaches,
pears, plums, grapes, berries-also
melons, tomatoes and other vege
tables, can be bought for $500 to
$1,000 per acre in unimproved state.
Many places with small clearings
and some Improvements can be
bought very cheap.
This if a fine stock country. No

psusuallyv Troublesome the Past Sea-
son-How 10 Prevent Them.
BY +. ii. cHITTENDEN.

BY +. III. CHITTENDEN.
Three kinds of root maggots have
been extremely injurious during recent
years-the cabbage maggot, the inn
ported onion maggot and the seed corn
maggot. The last named is nearly ON
nipresent and omnivorous.
Vegetable growers frequently find
that planted seed fails 10 develop and,
OH looking for the cause, discover a
small white maggot, which, from early
observed occurrence on seed corn, has
been termed the seed corn maggot. In
more recent years II has often been as
ISOLATED with injury to beans, whence
another name, "bean fly" Many other
vegetables are subject to damage, cab
bage. turnip. radish, peas, onions, beets
and seed potatoes being often much af-
fected. This insect is generally dis
tributed In the United States. 1t re-
sembles the common house fly.
Preventive Measures.
Owing TO the difficulty of destroying
root maggots and other subterranean
pests and the cost OF chemicals for the
purpose growers depend largely upon
methods of prevention. To be thor
oughly effective these methods should
be employed before the insects eggs
are laid.
Sand and Kerosene. "A common
method for lettering the parent flies
from depositing their eggs consists in
placing sand soaked in kerosene-a
cupful to bucket of dry sandal the
base of the plants along the rows This
mixture will also kill young maggots
that might attempt to work through il.
Carbolic Acid Emulsion.-For all three
forms OF root maggots which we are
considering a carbolized form of kero-
sene emulsion is effective. This is pre-
pared by adding TO one pound OF soap
boiled in one gallon of water one-half
gallon Of crude carbolic acid and dilut-
ing the whole with from thlrty-fve to
fifty parts of water. This mixture is
applied about the stalks of the plants
affected. II is best TO use 1t day or
two after the plants are up or are
transplanted. and repeat every week or
ten days until about the third week In
May in the north. Farther south these
applications must be made earlier in
the season.
The Use Of Mineral Fertilizers.-Min-
eral fertilizers are useful as deterrents,
particularly when employed just before
or after shower has thoroughly wet
the ground. The principal fertilizers
for this purpose are kainit, nitrate of
soda and sulphate or chloride of potash.
They may be used as top dressings be-
fore planting. or. if not employed until
afterward, they should be applied as
nearly as possible TO the roots, the
earth being turned away from the
plants for this purpose.
