THE WHEAT CROP IN
COUNTY OF RANDOLPH
1t is Record Brcakcr-Thou~and~ cf
Bushels Being Ihrc>hcd

That the wheat crop in Randolph
is this year a record breaker and
that thousands Of bushels of the grain
are being threshed III that county
these days. * the report made hy F..
y. M2ndenhan. who returned frol
Asheboro yesterday.
one case especially referred 10 lY
Nj. Mendenhall was that OF a 11-year-
old boy. Hobart Ruth. who off Of 4 IL
tie less than 20 acres threshed Out SID
bushels Of wheat. This boy prepared
and soWed the land himself last fall
and claims the crop as entirely his.
He broke the record of boy farming
in the county this year. This bumper
crop was made on the very same
ground where young Ruth's grand
father years ago plowed with an OK
and made anywhere from To 10
bushels to the acre, what was con-
sidered a very good yield in the farm
days Of yore. Young Mr.. Ruth is
said to be an energetic farmer and S
going after it with the most modern
methods of farming. He plowed his
land for his wheat with a large dis
plow last fall and had his land thor
oughly prepared when the grain was
sowed
1t is said that the county Of Ran
dOlph grows MOI wheat than any
county in the State and has led IN
the farmers are threshing out any
where from 500 to 800 buShel., this
year and the yield is good all over
that county.
Like Chatham county. famed for its
rabbits so is Randolph famed for its
poultry ana eggs. The grocerymen Of
Greensboro are furnished with a good
deal of chickens and eggs from the
sister county. and in the words Of q
grOceryman yesterday, we will pay
just a little more for eggs from Ran
dolph county than elseW where"
Mr. Mendenhail said that the grow
| ing crops in Randolph ar good and
are in a splendid state Of cultivation.
| as is also true Of the truck patches.
| The farmers there are beginning 10
play by a large part Of the corn and
| tobacco crop The fruit crop. il Is
said, IS only ordinary and can not be
| called q record smasher by any means.

No matter on what plant the worm
has been at work, after it has com
pleted its growth it descendS to the
ground and goes beneath the surface
of the soil to transform to chrySaliS,
getting ready to issue later as an
adult moth. AS it works it's way down
into the ground the worm fills the
hole behdin it with earth. But once
at a depth of three or four inches,
it turns and makes a short, open gal
lery, part way to the surface. Then
it retireS to the bottom of this and
soon has entered the pupal stage, in
which it remains until made over into
a moth. The open gallery toward the
surface is provided SO the moth can
get out Soft bodied, tender. and
without means Of digging far, the
newly emerged adult moth needs this
provision for it's safe start in life. The
pupa remains all winter in the gallery
thus provided, emerging as a moth in
the spring.
Send a plow through the field in
late fall and the carefully made exit
galleries are destroyed. The pupa is
buried beneath solid earth, which
later is cOmpacted by winter or sprin g
rains. When the season arrives for
| the moths to come out, they are eff
fectually imprisoned and never reach
| the surface to lay eggs and start the
| life cycle once more.
| 1t does not follow that it is always
feasible or possible to fall plOw a field
| that has suffered from the rayages Of
this pest, whether the attack has cen
tired on corn, cotton, tobacco, or to-
| matoeS Weather conditions or the
demands of crop rotations may make
| it out of the question. But if it can
be done, there is much to be gained
by it,

SOME ALFALFA HELPS.
By V. SHOESMITH.


The two principal causes of failure
In growing alfalfa have been poor
preparation of the seed bed and the
lack of inoculation. decided inn
proyement, however. is noticeable in
the cultural methods practiced by
farmers at the present time. and in
practically all cases where new seed
ingS are being made, some means are
taken of securing an inoculation of
nitrogen fixing bacteria. Among other
important causes of failure are acid
soils, light infertile soils, poorly
drained soils. the use of nurse crops,
and in case of late seedlings, winter
killing.
The particular type of soil does not
appear to be of much Importance, but
soils that are shallow by reason of
the water table or rock formation
near the surface and very light infer
tile soils should be avoided. Farmers
OF light sandy soils should seed on
their best land and many seed to take
some special means Of building up
the fertility Of the soil Farmers in
the better agricultural sections should
seed on their higher land because this
land is most in need of Improvement;
because the alfalfa as a rule of pro-
tluctiVe on high land and because the
soil most productive with corn and
other crops is left for the growing of
Alfalfa should not be seeded after
a grass sod but may follow cult
Sated or small grain crop. The prep
aration Of the seed bed should be
thorough and extend over a period
OF several weeks, SO as to secure a
irm and finely pulveriZed seed bed
~ which the weeds and wee dSeedS
have been as completely eradicated as
possible.
The presence of nitrogen fixing bac-
terra is Of utmost importance in the
growing of alfalfa. Both the soil and
pure culture methods Of inoculation
have given good results and one or
both should always be used whenever
alfaufa is being seeded for the first
time ia a field.
The use of a nurse crop is not ad-
yisable except on fields that are apt
to blow or wash and on seed beds that
Sre poorly prepared and are apt tc
become weedy.

at least 2 single nozzles and main
tanned at constant pressure
taclllues for regulating pressure
should always be demanded by the
buyer as he may wish to use the
machine early in the season for paris
bordeaux under high pressure.
Too great emphasis cannot be laid
upon the precaution of carefully
spraying with spray mixture All
machines should be provided with
facilities for spraying. including a
guaze strainer over the large opening
to the tank.
GauZe strainers. which can Der e.
placed when desired, should be fast
ened over all suction pipes leading to
the pump. In machines where the
pump is mounted outside the tank
gauze strainer should be placed
over the pipe, feeding the pump.
The mixture should never feed to
large opening Of the pump without
passing through a strainer. This Is
especially true of a machine which
has check valves, as paris green and
| other grist will lodge under the seat
Of the valves. consequently releasing
! the pressure.
When potatoes are gre a
| large scale it is a waste Of
| spray bordeaux mixture with 4
| Of less than loo gallons. Where ma
| chimes are bought however. merely
for applying the poison. 80 gallon
tanks are more available as they can
| be drawn with one horse.
| The nOzZles of the pump should be
! made of brass or other material which
| cannot be COrroded The spray nozzle
| should be SO constructed that the in
| terror is accessible III case OF Cloggine.
They should also have two sets of
| caps so that the mixture applied to
| the vines may be partially regulated
| through the nOZZleS.
The acting principle of the bor-
deaux mixture is copper sulphate
| which prevents the development OIL
| growth of the blight fungus or thu
| parasitic plant which lives on the
| potato vine. The lime is added to the
| copper sulphate solution for the pur
pose Of preventing the mixture from
injuring the foliage.
The lime has no fungicidale valu,
but it increases the efficiency of tn.
mixture by causing it to stick to tn
foliage.

Although very often the boreaux
may be combined. this method can
not always be relied upon
1t will be noted that the destructive
season Of the beetles upon late pota-
toes lies between July 1st and Aug
ust 10th.
It must be noted also that the sea-
son of greatest destruction from blight
upon late potatoes usually comes be
tween August 18th and September
goth.
Therefore, 1t is necessary to guard
against the claims of some men that
special dust machines which are
adaptable to applying poiSons may
also be used in combination with dust
sprays for the blight. However, the
same machine sometimes can be used
for both purposes.
To successfully control the beetles
the poison must be applied imme-
diately or soon after the eggs hatch
For this reason. when potatoes are
raised on a large scale, 1t is necessary
TO have machinery which covers a
wide area in a days time
Weak bordeaux mixture is made by

TO KILL BLIGHT AND BEETLE
By F.. STANDSTEN.

The rapid development of spraying
among orchardists and gardeners has
created demand for specialized
spraying machines and there are sew
eral machines adapted to potato
spraying now on the market.
The best machines have tank or air
chambers with safety valves for reg
ulating the pressure by which the mix
ture is returned automatically to the
tank when an excess of pressure Is
reaChed
