RESULTS OF T~OP-DRESSING.
Best Times to Apply Nitrate of Soda
to Corn and Cotton.

By L. e. Keitt, Chemist, S. c.. Expert
ment Station, Clemson College.
Results obtained at the South Caro-
ma Experiment Station show that q
top-dressing with nitrate Of soda gives
good results on cotton, corn and small
grains. The increase is most marked
during a wet year, because his nitro
gen Is already in an immediately
available form, while the rotting Of
the organic sources does not proceed
as rapidly as usual on account Of the
excess OF moisture in the soil. The
amount to apply per acre varies with
the fertility of the sol and the pre-
nous fertiliZation, but we would sug-
Best from fifty pounds per acre on
poor land up, according to the fertil-
ity of the soil.
Early applications are coming into
taVor. We recommend that the soda
be applied to corn when 1t Is between
knee and waist high, to cotton Just as
the shapes begin to form, and to
small grain in March. Care should
be taken not to SOW nitrate Of soda
on wet plants, because it is likely to
scald them. 1t is best to apply 1t Just
after a rain, when the moisture has
dried off Of the leaves of the plants,
then cultivate with q mulch forming
implement as DOR as the ground Is
dry enough to pillow.

FIGHTING THE HOUSE Fly.
Use OF Ely Trap, Screens and Spray
Against Dangerous Pest.
by a. T.. Conrad, State Entomologist
and Head of chronological Divi-
sion, Clemson College.

The house iy breeds mainly in moist
horse and sow anu and privy
closets. Unlike the stable fly it can
not bite. Before thundorstorms and
on sultry days the stable fly molests
man with its bites and his leads to
the erroneous conclusion that the
house fly bites.
n eggs of the house fly are laid on
the manure and hatch the same day.
In i've days the maggot transforms to
the pupa or resting stage and in ten
days from the time the egg is laid the
full grown insect appears. It's first
impulse is to find something to eat,
and with the fresh filth Of its putre-
factive breeding place covering every
part of it's body, it goes to the kitchen
Where 1t samples the meat, bathes in
the milk, trails yer the butter, ticks
up the Jelly, crawls over the baby's
face and hands and then goes back to
the manure pile to lay eggs and return
to the house for more food.
BESIDES a general carrier Of disease
ana NTH, the house fly is known to
carry several of u most dangerous
diseases.
The campaign against the fly should
begin at the breeding ground.
Use the fly trap judiciously about
the barns, privy closets, kitchen door,
hog pens and other breeding places.
Circular 23 OF Clemson College gives
directions for making traps and one
trap is in the hands Of each of the
county demonstration agents where
it can be examined.
Avoid filth or any other ny-attract-
ing material about the premises, such
as garbage or Stops. Garbage and
Kitchen refuse should be kept in
tightly covered vessels. Never throw
1t on the ground. 1t is sure to attract
flies.
Screen privy closets. Have every
closet provided with a keg or barrel
OF air slaked lime and use freely to
dry up h closet material.
Screen the house.

GROWING COWPEAS THE SOUTH'S
WONDERFUL LEGUMINOUS CROP
BY j N. Harper, Director, s. c. Ex-

by j N. Harper, Director, s c. Ex-
pertinent Station.
The coWpea is the best leguminous
crop for the South. 1t produces hay
fully equal to red clover. 1t resists
drouth and a stand is easily secured.
1t is well adapted to nearly every type
of soil in the South, and has few dis
eases and insect pests, and is a won
derful soil improver, is it not only
adds large amounts of nitrogen to
the soil, but also puts the soil in the
best physical condition.. This crop
has been grown for a great number of
years in the South, but it's full i'm
portance to Southern agriculture has
not yet been fully realized.
The seed ear either be sown broad
cast or in rows. If wanted for seed,
they should be planted in rows three
feet apart and cultivated. When
sown broadcast no cultivation is re-
quired. However,, more seed must be
used. h coWpea SHOULD not be
planted in the spring until the ground
is thoroughly warm and all danger
of frost is passed. While the cowpea
plant is we'll adapted to all kinds of
soils, it Is best suited to a warm,
sandy soil. The hay from cowpeas is
fully equal to that of red clover and
the best varieties for hay purposes
are the Unknown, Wonderful, Iron
Clay, W~hippOorwill, Re- Ripper, Red
Crowder, Calico and the New Era.

Ihere are two principal methods of
preventing hog cholera; one by the
use OF serum, and the other by taking
care to avoid the methods of spread

should be destroyed in communities
where they are not protected by law.
In communities where these scaven-
gers are thus protected, the law
SHOULD be repealed and the birds de-
Stroyed.
Anothe very common method of
spreading hog cholera is walking
through yards or fields where sick
nogs are Kept and carrying the infec-
tion on shoes and clothing to other
premises where healthy hogs are con-
fined. 1t should be remembered that
dlscharges from hogs infected with
cholera are very infectious, and the
owners should not go or allow any of
tnelr help to go on premises where
mere are sick hogs. Neither should
they allow neiShDors to go among
their hogs when cholera exists in the
community. Healthy hogs should be
cared Tor by persons who have not
been where the disease exists, and no
one else should be allowed near the
healthy drove.
cholera may be spread by streams
receiving drainage from infected
premises, by buying hogs from prem
Uses where the disease exists, or from
public stock yards, or by failure to
ISOLATE newly purchased hogs until
.neir freedom from disease has been
ascertained. These three matters de-
serve careful attention.
When cholera exists in q neighbour
hood every hog owner should estab-
llSn a strict quarantine on his in
dlVldual premises. N,nen the disease
exists on adjoining farm! hogs should
be protected by injectiCl with anti
hog cholera serum.
The sudden death OF one or two
hogs should lead the owner t. suspect
cholera. If upon examination Of the
cholera LESSONS are found.
all healthy hogs should be moved at
once to new lots or pens until they
can be injected with serum.
"A farmer finding cholera among his
hogs should at nee apply to the
veterinary Division, Clemson College,
Tor serum, which is to be had at act
cost of manufacture, and should
secure n services of his county farm
demonstration agent, who has been
in the use of serum.
1t is the duty of all citizens to see
mat the State law relative to prompt
disposal of c~arcasses is strictly en-
forced.

roots it requires UttIe ammonia In the
fertilizer.
When intended Ior hay, cowpeas
should be planted broadcast with
some other forage crop. German
millet and sorghum are probably the
best crops for this purpose. This sta
ton has obtained as much as seven
'ons of well cured hay from sorghum
and peas, two and one-half tons from
peas II crab grass, and three and
one-quartcr tons from peas and mil
let.
The most valuable part Of the pea
plant is the leaves, and the hay
should be cured in such a manner
that the largest amount of leaves Dos
sible should be retained with the hay.
For that reason the pea should not
remain long in the Swath, but as soon
as the leaves are dry sufficiently. the
khay should be raked in windows for
a day or so, then it should be dried
out III cocks. ~ splendid way to cure
cowpea hay is to take it from the
and stack it on a pole about
six feet long. driven in the ground
with crossarms nailed horizontally,
from the ground.
The practical place of the cowpea
III rotation Is after small grain. AS
soon as oats or wheat are cut, tho
land should be disked and planted in
peas, soWn broadcast, from four to
SIX peckS per acre. This crop of peas
Will shade the ground and improve
the physical condition of the soil, will
ada nitrogen to the soil and prepare
The land for the succeeding grain
crop.
AS cOWpca hay is u most valuable
FOOD, 1t should always be cut for hay,
however, IL the object is to improve
the land the pea vines can be turned
under. If the succeeding crop. how
ever, is to be Il small grain, it is bet
ter TO cut the vines off as the pea
vines Will form a kind of mulch which
VIII make the soil very loose and pre-
vent the proper rise of capillary
moisture TO the small grain. Small
grain prefers a soil rather
than Il loose, porous soil.
1t always pays to plant cowpeas in
corn at the last blowing. If an early
maturing variety is planted at this
lime, such as the Whippoorwill, New
ERA, or Taylor, the seed obtained will
far offset the expense and trouble of
planting, and the peas growing in the
corn, instead of hindering the growth
OF corn, will increase the yield
slightly, II Will put the land in bet
ter condition for the succeeding grain
crop. Small one-horse drills now be-
ing for the purpose of
drilling cowpcas in corn do the work
better than it can be done by hand.
IL always pays to plant a patch of
peas mixed with soy beans as a hog
grazing crop. No machine has vet
been manufactured that will s~atisfac-
torlly pick peas. The thrashing,
however, can be accomplished by a
pea huller. which is far less eXpen-
siVe than thrashing out with fail.
