from this LAID the same year, should

tary Wilson's row Of figures $Sooo,o ,ooo,-

| Sugar or sweet corn should follow
the pea crop. This crop has not as yet
been profitable one to the owner or
Gamer in Delaware. but there is no
reason why it should not be. So long
as the Gamers demand it early in the
season before the canning OF tomatoes
it will not be generally grown, as only
one crop can be grown on the same
land, and it is much poorer in quality
and quantity than later planting. After
a crop OF peas you are sure OF a croI
OF good sweet corn, therefore, two
profitable crops can be taken the same
season on the same land. | follow this
rotation on part of my pea ground fo1

A Suggestion For Our Farmers

The pea crop for canning purposes
has been proven by many years to b.
a very profitable crop for Delaware
There have been many farmers who
have not made it profitable for the first
or even second attempt, but hopeful
OF success by better methods OF prepar-
ing the land, sowing seed and cuti-
waiting, success has been attained
Farmers need to be reminded often
OF the right way or course to pursue.
First, select land that has been manur-
ed or heavily iertilized the year before,
and that has been cultivated in corn,
tomatoes, COW peas or potatoes, the
same land will suit for peas several
years, provided good and well-rotten
manure has been applied in the fall.
The land should be plowed in the early
winter. This allows the frost to pu-
verize the soil and manure, which will
place it in much drier condition in
the spring, ior the preparation OF the
seed.
Do not use sod land for peas. II the
land has not been plowed during the
winter and left until March or time OF
planting, better let it dry well and
plant later than to plant wet. There
IS much time gained, and the soil can be
gotten i'll much better condition for
the seed by plowing i'll winter. Then
about the first oi March | SOW 500 to
900 pounds of phosphate composed OF
900 pounds OF rock and 400 pounds ci
muriate potash, 500 dissolved bone and
500 hsh or tankage to the ton. | use
a rolling cutaway machine to cut up
the land and thoroughly mix the phos-
phate i'll the soil follow with the drag
harrow and do not stop until the soil
is III a we'll pulverized condition. Ii it
should rain before peas are sown,
then harrow well again; you will be
well paid ior preparing the soil before
peas are sown. | then mark the rows
out with a two-foot marker straight
and even i'll width | SOW with seed
drill that runs about four inches deep,
but they are not covered more than
two inches at the time OF planting.
watch an opportunity when the peas
are sprouted, to drag harrow the land
cross-wise, SO as to have it level |
| do this two OF three times If the
ground should bake before peas get
| through, this is better than two cult
| vatngs after peas are up. use 125
pounds oi dried blood OF fish in the
drill with peas. This amount OF phos-
| phate n drill is sufficient to give them
good quick start; this | consider very
important, Never sow more than two
| bushels TO the acre; any over that will
! shorten the crop.
| AS soon as peas are up two inches,
use small tooth harrow opened SO
as to meet between the rows; once in
the row is sufficient, if rows are equal
distance apart If the peas are sown
with drill, it makes narrow row
and allows the harrow to work all the
ground, SO that no place is left for the
weeis to grow. Every weed means less
peas; good cultivation insures your
crop in a dry season and will not short
en- 1t in wet season, if worked wher
ground is we'll dried off The last
working should be with a tooth culti-
vator that throws the dirt little tc

intrusion and will so be resented.
The chief fault OF the well-meaning
church meddler is assuming that all
young folks are either imbecie or
feeble minded, utterly incompetent to
think or act lor them selves. They fail
to realize that innate sense OF honor
that fine perception between right and
wrong that distinguishes manly boys
and little ladies. Suppress this; choke
OF all honorable impulses, and you will
| likely make sneaks and liars of them.
In no sense do we favor unguarded
| association Of the sexes. The old-time
| custom of sitting up nights and mid
night buggy rides IS rotten. Under
proper restrictions their mutual asso-
| cation, however, should be encour-
aged. No better influence can be
| thrown about a young man than fire.

or by church association are opposed
to dancing have a perfect right to
