Our Southern notion that O~nc-hOrSe
turning plows are good either to break
the soil or to tend the crop comes
from the days of Southern poverty.
when we had a super-abundance or
labor and little of anything else. Those
DAYS of X nave passed. Let
the methods OF darkness pass with
them. We should be ashamed to con-
tinue longer to plant little one or
two acre patches of corn and to de-
pend on commercial fertilizers to make
the crop on these, little patches. Let
us plant corn enough. at least to feed
our stock-thouSh we must not make
the equally great mistake Of trying
to feed this stock on corn alOne-and
then let us get enough humus in our
soils to-make a decent crop OF corn
at a reasonable cost.

Now is the Time to Sow Cowpeas.

June is the best time to SOW peas
for hay. They will make more vine
than soWn later. Then do not expect
to eat your cake and keep it, too.
That is. do not expect that sowing
peas on poo land and taking the crop
off and returning no manure to the
land is going to improve it, because it
will. on the other hand. run it down.
Peas. while they Will get nitrogen
from the air, are greedy of
the phOsphoric acid and potash in the
soil, and YOU cannot get these from
the air. The value of the pea crop
consists in its ability to save you the
purchase Of nitrogen and to give you
valuable feed to return to the soil and
increase the humus content. There
fore, If the Improvement of the soil
is the main object as it should be,
YOU should feed the crop with acid
phosphate and potash and thus en-
able it to do more nitrogen-fiXing for
YOU.
1t is a good plan to mix cowpeas
and SOW bons half and half. The
more erect character of the beans will
help to hold up the peas and the
crop Will De more easily harvested.
Try sowing a brush variety Of peas
among the corn. and when the leaves
begin to fan SOW crimson clover
among them, and o Will nave a fine
crop to turn under for cotton the next
season. Also SOW rimsO clover
among the cotton and nave the crop
to turn for corn. But where peas
are soNn dome among corn the best
plan is to cut the corn off and shock
1t and then disk the peas down and
SOW oats in September to be followed
by peas for hay and crimson clover
Tor cotton. and then crimson clover
among cotton for corn.

The Right Way to Cultivate Corn.

What l have said about the early
WOrn in the cotton field applies also
to the corn field. The harrow should
run over it before the corn is up and
after that the Weeder viii get over
the corn very rapidly and should be
run both WAYS as in the cotton field.
Hoe WORK in the cotton and corn
fields is the most expensive sort OF
labor, and we shoul use every effort
to have as little as practicable. Some
must be done in the cotton field, but
it mas been many a long year since
s., :: noe l"Jo a corn Held. with
the carly narrowing and wedding by
horse power before he weeds and
grass get Il strong hold, we car. do
away with az need for a hoe in the
corn fed.
A wear or so ago 4 man in Ba'ti-
more county, Maryland, cult waited a
corn field entirely with the Weeder
With rows RAINING straight across
the field. he took out two teeth that
hit two rows after the corn got too
tall to run al the teeth. and thus
~sIraddled he rows. The shallow
scratc ling of the Weedcr destroyed all
the weeds in reach of the surface
near enough to terminate, and by
the time the cultivation was finished
all these had been destroyed and no
fresh ones brought up to the surface,
and the corn field at maturity was
perfectly clean.
We ,ouIu not do this around our
Southern hills, but il shoWed very
well that shallow and level culr.va-
ton will keep n land so clear or

avoided. DO not put a turning ploW

ALFALFA AND ITS NEEDS.
Editor Southern Planter:

Editor Southern Planter:
There is no one crop that las Of
late years attracted more attention
among farmers all over the country
than alfalfa. The varying success md
failure has shown the fickleness of he
plant as to conditions needed, and
methods that succeed in one section
often fail in another.
Among the many letters / ave re-
ceived in regard to the cultivation Of
alfalfa is the following from a Mary
land farmer: Il have some alfalfa
sown in August. 1907. 1t seems to be
weak and ~Spindling and has a yellow
ish cast. I used some lime on the
land. but l fear not enough. and would
like to know if it-would be we'll to
apply more this winter. 1t came up
thin. but gradually thickened. and this
summer ! moved it four times and
could have moved it five times
There is a widespread misunder-
tandln among farmers in regard to
the effect of leSumes on the soil.
They are apt to imagine that they al
grow a lesume crop, NOV the hay and
still that crop will improve the soil.
The legumes have the power to get
nitrogen from the air. but at the same
time they Will exhaust the p]hosporic
acid and potash in the soil faster thar
any other crops.
Here IS q farmer who does not say
NletneT ne applled anything to the
land IN the way Of manure or fertili-
ger. He is in q district where the soil
is peculiarly deficient III potash espe-
cially. He applied lime. and one of
the effects of lime is to release potash
that may be in the soil. He moved
four crops Of hay, and now wonders
that the alfalfa is spindling and vel
low.
l found the same results in another
farm which is now under my direc-
ton. There is on this farm a field
that years G made a splendid growth
or alfalfa. 1t was moved several
tlmeS a year Tor a number of years.
and then plowed and put in corn. The
corn was followed by wheat, and then
the owner tried to get it back in
alfalfa and has largely failed. On my
last visit to the place this fall, I found

sort, and blown on with a powder
gun. The dry mixture OF / part Paris
green to so parts of the flour Will be
as effective as the pure Paris green.
The correspondent l refer to said
that the Paris green they have been
getting is adulterated and worthless.
The State Entomologist should make
an examination of the brands on the
market and inform the farmers. But
YOU can make a simple test. Place q
little of the Paris green on a clean
dry pane of window glass. Hold it in
a SlODing position and gently jar the
pane so that the material Will slip
owe the glass. Ii it leaves a distinct
green trail behind, it is pretty pure,
but if it slides over the glass and
leaves no trail, it is probably adulter-
ated with chrome green. Then re-
m that in all our fight against
insects We must have the poison there
before they get there.

June is q busy month on a cotton

Notes on TolpaccO Culture.

| noticed last summer. when travel
ing 1T the North Carolina Institutes,
thu in the tobacco section of the up
per iedmOn Nh" m had very
largely adopted level culture in lay
ing by their corn. But these same
men were still hill ne up their to-
baccO. and doing it With a great deal
of hoe work. Now, shallow and level
culture is just rs good for a as
for corn. Try it.
a tobacco grower recently wrote
to me asking about using ar
senate OF lead in a dry shape
for the Warding off of the to-
bacco worms, for. he said, we canot
spray for this but have been
using Paris green perfectly dry. 1t
appears that he had been using Paris
green without any MIXTURE. inst as
the potato grower about Norfolk use
it alone IN water, both being WasteIul
practices.
Some years ago / saw a tobacco
grower in SoutI. Carolina curj"g to-

Paris green, Il practice that seemed
to me almost criminal. There is no
