Notes and Comments.

The velvet bean seldom natures
seed north of the southeastern part
of North Carolina In the section
alon the Atlantic Coast Lin Railroad
from Mount Olive southwark, | am
of the opinion hat the velvet bean
can be made a very profitable crop.
At MagOlia, [ have seen immense
growths of it. and even at Selma. |
saw a vine trained on q porch that
promised to mature seed. One great
advantage of the velvet bean is that
it takes so few seed to plant a large
area. At the Florida Station it was
found that when planted in rows four
feet apart and 10 to Is inches i'll the
rows, one bushel planted four acres
and made 22.5 buselS of Shelled beans
an acre. and when planted III rows
eight feet apart, alternating with
rows of corn, the yield Of beans was
200 bushels and a crop Of corn. I'm
fortified plots made greater increase
than fortified ones, and fertilizing
was done at q loss. It is interesting.
therefore, to note VIVA Mr.. T. E. Nc
Farland. of Alabama, says about corn
after velvet beans. Evidently they
have the same effect that is observed
here with corn On a buried crimson
clover sod; that is, there is no firing.
Here, | have not seen a fired field OF
corn that was planted after crimson
clover was turned under, While | have
seen badly fired fields where there
was no dover. Southern farmers are
gradually learning the value Of the
humus-making character of the leg
ume crops. But why should any one
want to turn under q great growth
of the velvet bean when he can make
hay of the crop and the larger
part of it's manurial value in better
shape for manure after making a
profit from the feeding? The feed is
worth too much to use as a manure
direct.

Methods of Cutting Corn.

What Mr.. J. w. Bunch avs about
cutting corn reminds me that this is
the common practice in the fertile
lands of southern Pennsylvania, where
[ saw field after field from which the
corn had been cut and the stufnpS
left were two feet or more hlgh. ms
practice w very We'll there, lol
they follow the corn with spring oats
and during the winter, when the
ground is hard frozen they hitch a
horse to each end of q piece OF heaVy
railroad rail and drag it across the
field to snap off the stunps so thal
they al be plowed under easily IN
the spring.
But where a fall grain crop is to
follow the corn, the tall stunps are
to breed the corn to a better stature,
and that car be done without dinin-
fishing the crop, for [ have bred a tall
corr down nearly two feet in average
height by using the ear next the
ground for seed. The same result
has found at the Illinois station
For cutting corn by hand / would
not use the corn knife, which cuts TOO
high and is apt to cut the cutter >
shins. The best corn cutter IS a short
handled steel hoe set in an eye a snort
angles to the handle. A sharp hoe
Of this sort Will cut the butts off right
at the ground, and the land Will be IN
much better shape for putting III d 1all
crop of small grain. 4.
The most expeditions method is. OF
course, to use the corn binder tina
leaves the corn in lunches that are
easy to shock wide apart to make an
open ventilated shock.

O @ oats.

Sow oats Of the Southern winter
varieties in the early fall, of course,
and if YOU are ever compelled TO SOY"
oats in spring, still SOW southern
winter oats, for even hen soWn ~
spring they will make heavier oats
than he spring oats. The editor OF
one Of the Northern farm papers,
some years ago replied to q CORE
sDonGent hat oats are oats. ana tllat
the Northern spring oats were just as
good for fair sowing as the southern
winter oats. If this correspondent
had acted on that advice he Would
have found tina winter oats ana
spring are very different. A friend
of mine at Hampton, Va, once came
to this conclusion, and having a lot
Of spring oats in his store where ne
sold feed, ne sowed them in the tai
and had Il fine growth till nara Ifeez-
ing weather came. and then he had
dead oats. In Virginia and Maryland,
the Gray Turf oats are the most mar

Proof and other varieties make a bet

Where Oats PAY Better Than Whoa:

Where ] live the land is generally
of q sandy character, and not good
wheat soil, though farmers keep SOW
ing wheat here. Last fall, we SOWed
q crop of Virginia turf oats in Septefn-
Der. late. Side by side, with these
oats, was wheat on the same farm.
The wheat made about one-tnird the
NIB Of bushe hat the oats made.
IN the northern part Of the Maryland
Delaware peninsula, they make great
crops of wheat, for they ave the clay
loan for wheat, and it is rather cold
for winter oats. But in the sandy
soils of the southern end Of the pen
insula. the oats will beat wheat every
time, and the same is true further
South. and more So, for in the humid
climate of the South Atlantic coast
country rust will always damage the
wheat and shrive1 the grain, while
winter oats thrive there and produce
crops on improved soils that would be
the envy of the Northern
On the reclaimed swamp lands oats
viii grow. while wheat will not do
anything there. I saw not long ago,
a fjeld Of oats on swamp lane near
Norfolk, Va, hat promised to make
fully seVeEty-five bushels an acre.
Then after winter oats one can grow
a heavy crop of pea hay, and the two
crops will beat a cotton crop, some

UNCLE JOE CANNON
HE ALSO SPEAKS WELL OF CAN.
ADA.

No matter what may be the opinion
of Mr.. Joseph Cannon, no matter if
he may be looked upon by some as
a car, and by others as big warm.
rearted man, with many of the in
stincts that make humanity very bear
able, all will admit that he is man
who has been advertised more than
any other man in the United States
What he may have to say therefore
on any subject, will have weight. OBJ
servant, he speaks his mind freely.
He was interviewed the other day by
the correspondent of Canadian
newspaper. He spoke of his admiration
FOR Canada, and he is quoted in a way
that pictures fairly well the personal
of the man. The correspondent says
he launched out into personal bi.
ography, proverbial philosophy, politi-
cal comment, cynical scorn, broad pro.
family and sentimental poetry such as
one rarely hears in the space of an
hour. He discussed the Canadian ia
riff, and then said: people say !
break the Ten Commandments, all OF
them. But 1 don't, at least not often.
I did break one of them up in Canada
two or three years ago. AS l rode
from Winnipeg to the Rockies over
your great West and saw the finest
wheatfields in the world, thc,:ght OF
Virginia and a lot of our States, and
I smashed the Tenth Commandment

bia, take up their homestead of 100
acres, and probably pre-empt another
100 acres, or it may be they do not
care for pioneering twenty or thirty
miles from an existing railway, and
purchase farm. Then they settle
upon it and, having no clearing away
of timber they begin at once to cul.
tivate it, and make money. That they
make money and much more than
they could possibly make on the high.
priced farms they have left, is the
evidence of hundreds of thousands.
They do not leave civilized life, they
but remove from one sphere to an.
other. They have splendid social con.
ditions, churches, schools, rural tele.
phones, splendid roads, railways, con.
venient just the same as what they
left, and what is more, they get much
greater returns from their crops,
which give abundant yield. The eli.
mate is perfect, and it is no wonder
that most flattering reports are sent
back to their friends in the States.
and it is no wonder that Joe Cannon
was tempted to speak as he did. He

WILL PIPE OIL
NINETY MILES
TO CARS

II is reported today that a company
is being organized among capitalists
of the state, for the promotion of a
$4,000 proposition, In which local
men are interested. 1t Is one of the
largest engineering projects of the
West, and although 1t is common to
the East, in their large oil fields, II
will be an innovation to the West and
particularly Colorado. If the pro-
posed plans are carried out pipe
line over ninety miles in length in the
White mountains will be laid from
the rich oil fields of Rangely, Colo
rado, to the city of Fruita. for the
transportation of oil to the railroad
James w. Rector, of Rangely, is
promoting the project from that dis
trict and he has secured the co-opera-
tion of Eastern capital with whose
aid the company viii be financed
Rangely, Colorado, is believed to be
one of the coming oil districts of the
world having already in operation 10
oil wells and the field practically un-
developed In the history of the new
field it is said that only one well has
been sunk which has not yielded oil
and that dry wells so far are un-
known with this one exception.
Attorney Henry r. Rhone. who is
largely interested in rich gilsonite
mines in the Uintah country, is inter-
ested in the new project and is at
