4 LETTER FROM B. F. STEELE

settled where I now live in the year 1878. 1 opened up and fenced a farm, opened ditches, planted, cultivated and harvest ed crops. and in the meantime have tried different kinds of cot ton and corn, grasses and clovers, perhaps ass much so as any man in Nevada County.
 And this is my observation: That an early prolific, big boil cotton under poll weavel condit- ions is about the best that 1 have found. am trying the pull-knot of this type that has met our ex- pectations. It is early cluster 60 bolls to the pound, 40 to A per cent lint. It fruits rapidly, opens out full, picks easily and stands the drought reasonably we'll. prefer a deep-grained g. ear corn with good root sys- tenn. This:enables it to stand a drought and from blowing down so badly when there is high wind.
 But for a stock corn. 1 find the Texas Strawberry the best that l have ever had. Who has it pure? l would like to exchange for some of it.
 l have tried quite number of kinds of grasses and have decid- ed upon three kinds, bermuda, which Surpasses all others for grazing, and will grow anywhere the water will let it. Then, Herds Grass is fine on damp land where it is too wet to grow other crops profitable. Rich bottom lands are adapted to it's growth. This grass should be sown in ear ly fall. It grows through win ter and spring. It will last from 3 to 5 years. 1 have had it to last s years. It is fine for stock men to have.something to graze winter and early spring. It is a fine combination. Besides. it makes an excellent hay, when the land is good enough, and if cut while the bloom is in right time.
 Then, Lespedeza, sown on oats in February. 12 to Is pounds to the acre. and will cost $2 25 per bu. This will grow on until Oct,

when it is ready to harvest for hay, of which there is none bet ter on good land. It makes from 1 to 2 tons per acre, owing to seasons, and will reseed itself and make another crop.
 It is best to disk the land in winter, cutting it fine it will grow better and stand the hot, dry summer better and make a more abundant yield. This is the one crop to redeem our lands and old starved fields with. If the land is too poor to get hay crop, after one or two years, turn it under in Oct. and seed it to winter oats or black rye.

When the same process should be repeated again.
 am highly in favor of win ter cover crop. It keeps the soil from washing away and it gives us in return something to blow under in spring, that gives life to the soil and puts the bact- eria to work which enables the crop to take up plant food that is stored away in the soil. This, or a similar process is much need ed and will have to be practiced more in the future. 1 have been saving and hauling, manure and have bought and used commer- cal fertilizer ana after all, l am convinced that to grow some thing during winter is the thing to do.
