THE SOUTH THE BULWARK OF
PROTESTANISM.

In an article dealing with popula-
ton changes and religious beliefs,
based on the recently issued church
census Of the country, writer in the
American Review of Reviews points
out that in addition to being the most
American section of the United States.
that is, the section where the blood
is of the purest Anglo-Saxon type. and
but little influenced by the flood of
immigration that has poured into the
country during the last half of the
century, the South is also the great
Protestant stronghold. In the South
ern states Professionalism is overwheIm-
1ngly predominant, whereas in the
New England states Catholicism has
more adherents, a condition also true
OF some Of the western states. But
crossing the line into Dixie the pro-
portion of Catholics to Pedestrians ia
exceedingly small. In every section.

adjustment of religious beliefs and

this section has been influenced, ex-
cept in slight degree, by it. Says the
writer in question:

The main crop of watermelons and

home use and nearby markets. Use
mostly commercial fertilizer for the
melon crop Plant only Southern
melons, the Northern varieties are not
as good

crop of sweet potatoes. They always
sell we'll, and no other crop comes any
where near it in value for home sup

do we'll in your particular locality.
Horse manure is very good for a sweet
potato crop.
If not already planted put in Irish
potatoes the first of this month. A
moist, rich spot is best for this crop.
Plant the rows about three feet apart,
and twenty inches in the row. A good
compost of COW and horse manure is

June. Cut the seed to about two eyes

inches deep and cover six inches. Try
to keep the rows little below level,
so that the rains will run to the plants,
rather than from them.
Continue to thin the onions, turnips,
beets, etc. The onion and beet plants
can be transplanted Fertilize the onion
crop again, and keep them growing.
Set out tomato plants after the mid
die of this month. Prepare the ground
about as for Irish potatoes, only plant
wider both as to rows and also in the
rows, say about three by four feet for
the larger-growing kinds. The Dwarf
Champion may stand closer in the row.
Sweet corn requires richer ground, or
more fertilizer, than common field corn.
The best sweet corn for the pine woods

small extra early varieties do not
amount to much here.

An attractive placard, headed with a
picture of four horses and the words:
"Please be kind to us-We work hard
for you," is being circulated in Cincin-
natl by the Ohio Humane Society. It
reads as follows:
Please give us water often.
Please give us a moments rest on the
way up the hill.
Please do not overload u.s. We are
doing Our best.
Please don't use the whip It is sell
dom necessary.
Please remember that we will respond
to a word as quickly as to blow.
Please look out for Our health and
don't work us when we are sick.
Please see that we are properly shod.
Please be sure that we have enough
to eat and that we are fed regularly.
Please keep us in such good condition
that you'll be proud to drive us.
Please see that the harness fits and
does not chafe sore and tender spots.
Please remember that two weeks va

Remember we work hard for you and

MARCH IN FLORIDA
By w. H. HASKELL

Therefore the best time is after growth
starts.
Don't trim up any fruit tree for the
purpose of working under it with the
horse, rather let the branches grow low
enough to shade the body of the tree,
especially on the south and west Sides
If this is not done, and the tree is
trimmed up, it is liable to become SUM-
scalded and stunted Young trees re-
quire little pruning, but old bearing
trees need but little attention in this
line
The amount of fertilizer that should
be applied to a tree depends on the kind
of fruit, size of the tree and whether a
crop of fruit is expected If for
young, growing tree, less quantity and
of different ingredients is needed than
for fruit. crop. Much more ammonia,
and fertilizer of lower grade is re-
quired for tree to make wood growth
only Consult the State chemists
monthly report, and the fertilizer manu-
facturers' catalogues for information
along these lines.
A fru1t1ng pear or pers1mmon tree re-
quires less fertilizer than larger fruit
ing orange tree. From twenty to
twenty-five pounds or more during the
season can be used to advantage for
such orange trees. One-third that
amount would do for the other trees.
Fertilize the pecan trees about as you
would the orange.
Harrow in the fertilizer with a spad-
ing harrow, or Cutaway or if the
ground is clean with an Acme, but do
not under any circumstances plow it in.
No large fruiting tree should have its
roots disturbed, much less torn to pieces
and out of the ground by the plow, or
any other tool 1t causes blight in the
pear, too much and too tender growth
and coarse fruit on the orange. Work
the fertilizer in with the prong hoe
where the harrow can not go. Spread
the fertilizer over all the ground be-
tween the rows and among large orange
trees.
Look over the peach orchard and re-
move dead wood and look for borers in
the stem and roots. Dig them out with
an old knife and wire.
This is the month to top graft any
tree you may wish to change to other
varieties. 1t is we'll to have some late
pears, and graft all wild persimmon
trees to the best kinds. Especially. graft
all HICKORY and undesirable pecan trees
to choice kinds.
Cleft graft all large stocks If more
than two or three inches in diameter
treat the stock, after saving off, as
though you were going to square it, that
is make small clefts around the sides of
the stock, and not through the center.
Well-matured scions about as thick as
your little finger are about the size to
use. See that the bark of stock and
scion unite and cover with wax and
shade with newspaper till they start
to grow.

In the farm work bear in mind that

great service at a time when succulent
feed is sometimes scarce. We know it's
power to thrive on poor soils under the
most adverse circumstances, and it is one
of those crops which takes the place of
a fallow, with distinct gain to the soil,
between two main crops.
Plant cat-tail millet, Kaffir corn and
sorghum, and try popcorn for the poul-
try. Also sow some beggarweed seed
for summer and fall feed.
Plant Japanese cane, and if you have
not already done so plant the ordinary
sugar cane for making the most delicious
syrup you ever ate.
In the Grove and Orchard.
The latter part of March and the early
part of April, when growth on the or
ange has fully begun, is the best time to
do what pruning is necessary-that is to
cut out dead wood and remove water
sprouts.
The principle in pruning, as I see it,
is this: Remove live branches only near
the time for the sap to flow, so as to be
healed over in the quickest time, as
otherwise dry stub remains, and may
never be covered with new growth.
This principle applies to dry branches
also, as they should be cut off in the
green wood.
Now, as to the application of this to
the orange. If these trees were pruned
in January wound was made that can
not heal over till growth in the spring.
