ABOUT ROTATION.

If you are going TO follow your
corn with oats or wheat the long.
er you keep up the shallow and
Level cultivation the better. But
if you sow crimson clover among
the corn and get a good stand,
you can proftably repeat corn
on the land one more season by
turning the clover under.
The crimson clover crop is the
only one I would habituaIly turn
under for corn or cotton, for it is
the hardest Of all clovers to make
into good hay, as it comes at a
bad season for haymaking, and
being a catch crop among the
corn, it can profitsbly be used to

This is the last call tor the
cowpea crop. The man who al
lows 1.-THE price of pea seed to de-
ter him from keeping up regu-
lar amount of land in peas for
his rotation is filing at the
spile and wasting from the
bung-hole.
Especially should large
amount of peas be sown this
season, for it is probable that in
almost every neighborhood some
one will get a pea thresher and
go around the VIII Die section
threshing peas next winter.
But sow peas, sow peas among
your corn, unless you sow GRIM
son clover there. / believe that
crimson clover is better to sow
among corn, but 1t needs expert
ment to determine " neither in
the South it can be sown so early
as the last working of the corn.
WHAT SORT OF CATTLE WILL YOU
FEED THIS WINTER?
But do not imagine that you
can make as much money feed
ing scrub cattle as you can from
good beef bred animals. They
may increase in actual weight as
fast as the beef breeds, but the
chances are that they will put
the increase into parts that do
not bring the money lie the
animals that lay the fat on the
loins.
There is no better beef breed,
for the South especially, than the
Polled Angus. In fact, 1t has
always seemed strange, but true,
that a black animal is better
suited to the South than a white
one. The black hogs are always
the survival of the fittest in the
South, and you never find a
white piney woods rooter.
This does not mean that you
should buy STOCK OF full blood |
animals, but that you can breed |
good beef stock through the use
of full blood Angus bull, for no
matter what sort of dam Won
have that bull will get you black
calves nearly every time, and
calves that will tatten better
than any pure scrub.
SAVE GOOD, CLEAN GRAIN FOR
SEED.
If your oats and wheat had cheat
in them this year, do not make
the mistake OF supposing tn at
the wheat or oats turned to cheat,
for they did nothing OF the sort.
The cheat was there because you
sowed foul seed. Then deter
mine another fall 10 SOW clean
seed.

If you are going to follow your
corn with oats or wheat the long.

ton.
But if you follow corn with
small grain the best thing to sow
is cowpeas. If the peas grow
rankly, you can NOW them after
cutting the corn, and if not too
rank, you can chop them up with
the disc harrow and make the
surface fine and have the best
possible chance for winter grain
if scwn with a disc drill, for the
trash will be mainly on top and
act as mulch for the grain crop
In winter.
LAYING BY YOUR CORN.
In laying by your corn deter
mine ouce for all to keep the
turning pillow out of the field.
n that time on the corn will

and if the cultivator has been
run shallow and a dust blanket
made over the surface, there will
be moisture Tor the corn roots,
and if you put in a pillow and
turn this up you will simply
make a ridge to dry out direct
ly and starve the roots even if
you by some chance do not cut
off must OF them.
Remember that the only part
of the root that is getting back
food from the soil is that part
just back Of the advancing root
lets that is covered with fine
hairs, and that if that tip is cut
off these roots cannot get food
from the soil till more rootlets
form, and by that time the corn
will be so far exhausted that the
crop will be largely reduced.
Do not imagine that piling
earth to the base of the stalks
will prevent the corn blowing
down. 1t will blow down worse,
for you will soften the brace
roots by covering them, and the
cutting OF the roots will make !
the corn weaker to withstand |
the wind. But with hard and |
tough brace roots, we'll set on
level ground, corn will resist far
more wind
BIGIN NOW TO SELECT YOUR SEED
CORN.
Then start at once to select

stature, for stalk that is very
tall and has the ears far above

worse than corn of fair stature
that makes ears half way between

of this forest is that, though thelr
