Lice on Oats.

Last spring our oats we're BADLY
infested with green lice. In some
spots they entirely destroyed the
crop. l sowed COW peas after the
oats, breaking deep and using about
$50 pounds Of cotton seed meal and
acid phosphate an acre. Will it do to
SOW this same land in oats again this
fan?"
1t is far better to adopt syste-
matte rotation of crops and stick to
it and not repeat the same crop on
the land two years in succession. But
II 1T is necessary to put that land in
oats you live in a section where to-
bacco stems can be had at easona-
bic price. Cut the peas for hay and
then spead tobacco stems on the
land and disk them down, and keep
the disk going till the surface soil is
fine and well settled, and then put in
the oats with disk drill. The stems
will make all the fertilizer needed
and do not think the green lice will
come out with the tobacco in the
land

Bermuda grass do? Can it easily be

Lespedeza dies with the coming of
frost, but reseeds the land and will
make a good pasture the following
year. But if you want to put the
land in hoed crops the lespedeza will
make no difficulty, since it is easily
killed. 1t may not have spread in
your coast region, but is plentiful all
