1t is pleasure to know that you find
the agricultural department of SO much
interest and benefit to you in the prac-
tical operation of your farm. One Of
the best ways to make land profitable
under cultivation is to build up its con-
tent of vegetable matter Unless you
have a large number of stock on your
farm and can depend on securing and
making large amount of yard manure,
green crops must be depended on to
supply the needed vegetable matter. OF
the cereals none is better for soil inn
provement than rye. The crop should
be seeded early in your section of the
state, say about the 18th of Septem-
Der. This will enable you to pasture it
during the fall and winter. 1t should
be turned under about the first to fif-
teenth of March or before it becomes
very large. If left too long it dries
the soil out too much and it is diff
cult to turn under.
The holes for the trees in question
should be of a considerable size, though
II depends somewhat on the age and
variety of the trees to be set. A hole
two to two and a half feet deep and
three to four feet in diameter is not
too large for the average tree. A stick
of dynamite may be used to advantage
in blasting out hole. We have found
this method fairly satisfactory. Dyna-
mite, of course, is somewhat costly at
the present time, but still you can prob
ably use it to advantage compared with
the employment of labor to dig holes
1t is just as we'll to dig the holes a
little time before setting the trees. This
will permit the water which falls as
rain to settle the soil and help to mel
low the subsoil
Purple straw wheat should be sown in
your section of the state about October
Is. According to the tests made here
this is the best time to SOW wheat in
north Georgia. OF course, seeding may
be done considerably later, but the
chances are you will not make so good
a crop. 1t would not be a difficult mat
ter for you to test your oat seed and
ascertain whether 1t will terminate or
not. If you will count out 100 grains
and place between two sheets of blot
ting paper and place the plotting paper
on a plate and keep ii moist for several
days in the temperature of the living
room, you can easily tell whether the
oats are viable or not and what per
cent will terminate. Your oats prob
ably suffered from damage by smut
This can be controlled through the
use of formalin or copper sulphate You
should make it point to treat your oats
with one of the materials mentioned
before planting them.

II situated as you are we would not
pillow the cotton when the ground is so
wet that you are likely to puddle the
soil through working it. This will do
infinitely more harm to the cotton than
to help II along. Cotton which has been
plowed four times would be in fair
condition to lay by but for the danger
of grass taking It. We have exactly the
same problem to meet as you have and
our policy will be to walt until the
ground is dry enough to permit of shall
low cultivation and then use a one
horse cultivator to destroy the weeds
and grass. Shallow surface cultivation
If persisted in will enable us to do
this and we can cultivate big cotton by
such an arrangement without injur-
ing II.
While this is an unusually wet and
difficult season in which to handle and
cultivate cotton. it is not the only wet
season which has ever occurred and
our experience covering a number Of
years shows US that the shallow per
sistent cultivation in the method sug-
gested has proven the most effective
and desirable in the long run;

the land had been dry but a short time
and only one man and woman inhab-

was a dense growth of Jungle which

Now the Bobo's wife made fine pie,
and the 2obo, though he dressed in
skins and lived in a cave. was just as
fond of pie as a farm boy in Maine.
She had all kinds of luscious fruits
to put in them, so that they leaked
their sweetness at the edges. These
pies were so good she never had to
complain of her husband going away
in the evening-at least. this woman
thought her pies were the reason-but
it may have also been the fact that
around in the forest lurked all kinds
of ferocious beasts, the worst Of
which was a huge tiger.
