Selling Plant Food.

TyHO USANDS of farmers who are selling
cottonseed will be buying for their next
Il years crop far less nitrogen than they are
selling from every acre. OF course the price for
seed is good, and the temptation is to sell, and
the vast amount of plant food in the cottonseed
is carried off to enrich the lands Of the North and
Of Europe. Far better for the farm and the far
mer to exchange the seed for meal and hulls and
feed the meal on the farm, and having better
roughage, make bedding and manure absorbent
of the huls.
For the sake of immediate profit, thousands
are impoverishing their land by selling seed and
next spring the same men will be trying to restore
the waste with 200 pounds an acre Of 2-S-2
Thousands will neglect saving seed from
the best plants and will have to buy seed in the
spring or depend on the mixed seed from the gn
Good seed for planting can not be bought for s35
ton, and the man who takes pains in selecting
his seed and improving his cotton can make a
reputation for the stock and sell seed at
prices that make the oil mill price look small;
and If sells II is better to get fancy prize
than oil mill price. But even at present prices,
Il | growing cotton to-day, | would trade
the seed to the mill and try TO have stock enough
to eat the meal and make me manure that is
worth more than 2-S-2.

bought Wakefield cabbage seed from prominent
scotsman. He sowed them early in August and.
of course, had wonderfully large plants. These
were set and all to seed in the spring with
out heading. He sued the scotsman for damages
and recovered damages, though the scotsman
proved by other growers that the same lot of seed
sown at the right time gave fine crops, and every
gardener OF experience knows that cabbage seed
sown in August will get too large. and the check
of transplanting such plants will always cause
them to run to seed The seedsmen then got to-

Some Garden Notes.

II AM NOW cutting very fine headed lettuce.
The glass was not used over it till the frost
Il of October 29th came. In another line OF
frame l am starting later lettuce from seed sown
in rows foot apart. This will be thinned out
to a good stand, and l am curious to find the
difference between this and transplanting.
l sowed cabbage and cauliaower seeds at the
proper time in September, but the raids of the
neighbors chickens left me very few plants. l
sowed some later in small frame of three sashes.
which are yet very small. These | will trans
plant in the frame few inches apart to get
them strong enough to set in February.
l have taken up my dahlias 200 roots, and
have buried them in a shallow pit and covered
them with straw and then pounded the earth
over them. The Gamma beds have covered with
peanut hay and garden rubbish and believe that
they will winter in that way better than by TAX
ing them up.
l have torn down the peanut stacks and picked
out the nuts, and have stock of Jumbos that
will keep us roasting all winter. These peanuts
were planted between my early roastng-ear corn,
and did not grow much till the was taken
away. Then l sowed rows of Curled Scotch kae
between the peanut rows, and now that the pea
nuts are out, am about setting my strawberries
between the kale rows. 1t will be seen that
am keeping the garden at work. In fact, there
is little room in it that is occupied by winter
vegetables. l have spinach, kale, parsnps, oys-
ter plant, chard and onions in the open ground
and lettuce in the frames, and also have lettuce
plants that will set like the cabbages ridges
for spring heading. For this planting | use
mainly the Wonderful, also known as Sheem let
tuce. This makes the largest heads of any let
tuce, but is not good for the frames 1t is hardy
and stands the winter well and comes in at a
time in the spring when such large heads are in
demand.
Then l have planted 1000 lily bulbs of the
old-fashioned white lily. These were left over
ny scotsman and sent to me- They should
nave been planted two months ago, for this lily
makes rosette of green leaves in the fall and
do not know what they will do planted so late
But 1t will be seen that the garden is about as
nara at work as in summer, and this is the only
way to make garden pay. and mine has paid
line profit on the investment though the land
cost me at rate of $4,000 an acre
In few rows of kale the moles bothered me
ana destroyed them by pouring carbon bisul-
phlde IN the runs. Where this was used | have
remarkably better growth of kale than in the

PEACH-TREE BORERS.-There is no means
known by which the borers can be entlreIy pre-
vented in peach trees. Painting a foot OF the
base of the trunk with white lead and Oil VIII
prevent some getting in. But the only way TO
keep all out is to go the trees in June and
September and wherever the gum is seen scrape
il aWay and cut the borer out.
LOCUST BUSHES-To destroy locust bushes,
cut them off at the ground and next summer keep
them constantly cut off and the roots Will die.
Grubbing will only increase them. Locust sprouts,
persimmon and sassafras sprouts can only be de-
stroyed by not letting them make green leaves
above ground. The same is true of any peren-
nal weed like nut grass, for instance. II never

ers now planting the Austin and consider 1t
better than Lucretia l have seen them grown
in north Florida without any at all, the
whole patch being deep of vines, and |
saw them ripening there in March, but the fruit
was very inferior. 1t always pays to take care
OF these things and to get the finest fruit by lib
eral enrching of the soil and clean cultivation.
y
FLOWING SANDY LANDS.-In the sandy soils
of the upper pine belt of South Carolina 1 would
never practice very deep plowing. On such soils
l would think that six inches should be the maxi
mum depth Where the soil is clayey a deeper
breaking is desirable But l would never plow
sandy land in the fall unless l plowed it early
enough to get growth of crimson clover on it.
These soils waste more in winter when left bare
OF growth than they do in the summer cropping
1t is not enough to have dead mass of vegeta-
ton as cover, but green growing crop that
will take up and hold the nitrates that would
otherwise be washed away. Then regular ro-
tation of crops in which both the summer and
winter legumes come in will increase the humus
content of the land and render it more retentive
of moisture in dry weather as well as more fer
tile. What is needed is legume forage and feed
ing and making manure, aided by winter cover
crop between hoed crops.
y
THOMAS PHOSPHATE AGAIN-Thomas phos-
phate known as basic Stag meal, is by-product
from the basic process of steel making resulting
from the taking out of the phosphorus from the
iron ore. 1t varies in the percentage of phos-
phoric acid from Is to 23 per cent. AS it usual
ly carries 40 pounds of free lime in every 100
pounds, its tendency is to sweeten the soil. On
lands deficient in humus it will be slower in
coming into use than acid phosphate will be, but
on lands that are cultivated in a good rotation
with legume crops it is the best form in which
to get phosphoric acid. The price is determined
by the percentage of phosphoric acid, and we get
the lime practically free.
y
SWEET POTATO ROT.-Sweet potatoes rot in
winter from various causes. If there is any in
d1catlon OF the black rot disease shown by
brown Dlotches on the skin, the disease will de
velop after they stored. Then if the pota
tees get chilled when in the sweat they ALWAYS
go through after storing, they may rot The
best way to keep them is to have a house with
double deadened walls and a ventilator and E
heating apparatus to raise a high temperature
