RIDDING FARM OF ALL WEEDS
Ten Good Rules to Observe to Pre-
vent Noxious Plants From Re-
seeding Themselves.

BY preventing this years crop OF
weeds from reseeding themselves n
long step will have been taken toward
Kidding the pastures and fields Of
weeds. This is the suggestion recent
ly offered to Mississippi farmers by j..
NJ. Beal of the Mississippi A. and NJ.
college, who states that by observing
the following rules many noxious
weeds, such as bitter weed, giant rag
weed, cookie burr and cypress weed
may be practically eradicated In one
or two seasons:
|. Allow no weed to ripen.
.. Kill weeds in the tender seeding
stage.
3. Induce fall sprouting by giving
a late cultivation.
4. Burn weeds bearing mature seeds
Never plow them under.
5. Thoroughly compost stable ma
nure If contaminated with seeds OF
noXiOus weeds.
6. Sow only pure seed.
7. Watch for weeds new to your 10
cality.
S. Practice rotation of crops,
8. Turn weeds into pork, beef anc
mutton by grazing them.
10. Plant smothering crops, winter
and summer.

For the farmers of the lower South
who, because of the boil weevil, are
seeking a substitute for cotton, velvet
beans and hogs offer one of the best
combinations we know of. We have
never advocated the entire elimination
of cotton, but as Il supplement to II,
corn, beans and hogs are probably
more promising than anything yet
found. In fact, we believe if the Iowa
corn and hog farmer could add velvet
beans to his combination his lands
would be worth $500 to $400 an acre,
instead of $3.50 to $500, rs they now
are.
Last year at the South Mississippi
Experiment station velvet beans, de-
spite severe July storm and eXces-
sive rains produced from $500 o3'ooo
pounds per acre of beans in the hull
1t is certainly safe to say that an acre
of land that will grow IS bushels OF
corn will, at the same time, make =
600 pounds per acre Of beans. These
beans in the hull have a feeding value
only 10 per cent less than corn, so the
ton of beans Is equal to l,SOo pouhds
of corn, or 80 bushels. This added &c

POULTRY BRING READY CASH
When Properly Managed Chickens
Are Most Dependable-Clean
Surroundings Dependable.
Clemson College RnlIetinl }

Clemson College Bulletin)
One Of the problems that confronts
the farmer, even though he be moder-
ately prosperous, is that Of securing
ready cash. The salaried man usu-
ally has more or less cash, though he
may not have much else. As a means
of providing ready cash at all seasons
of the year, the poultry yard, when
properly managed, Is perhaps the
most dependable. 1t involves little ex-
pense where the feed Is produced on
the farm, and the return from poultry
and eggs Is certain. There Is today
an almost unlimited market for such
products, and there Is no evidence that
the future demands will be less.
The essentials In raising poultry
are clean and sanitary surroundings
abundance of green feed, which can
be supplied the year round in South
Carolina, and using only good produc
tive stock.

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or

At little cost one can get small bot

the 10 bushels of corn made ON the
acre, gives us Il total feed yield equal
to 47 bushels of corn.
OF course per acre production OF
feed like this means low cost ana
especially is this the case where the
hogs harvest the crop, which they
should by all means do. Another CON
sideration that should not be lost sight
of is the fact that the bean vines add
very considerable amount of nitro
gen and humus to the soil.
With eight or ten brood sowS 40 or
so acres in corn and beans, n perma-
nent paslurc of Bermuda grass, bur
and white clover, and a succession OF
grazing crops for the spring and sum
mer, the farmer in the lower South
has an excellent supplement to his cot
ton crop. In fact he may make 1t Il
substitute instead of II supplement

ing him.

boll-weevil-ridden sections on theil

LOCATION OF ORCHARD
Soil Must Be Well Drained to OBJ
tain Superior Fruit.
Hill Top Makes Best Site, Because
Cold Air Settles In Valleys-Soll OF
Medium Fertility Is Said to
Be Best Suited.
Clemson College Bulletin0

(ClemSOn alOlleBe bulIctli'I
Unless the orchard is well located
It will not give satisfactory results.
The most important things to be
considered are soil drainage, soil
fertility and atmospheric drainage.
There is no fruit that will grow well
in wet poorly drained soil. The
subsoil of poorly drained land Is
wet and cold, which condition does
not suit the roots, so they feed In
the surface soil, where there IS
warmth and air When drouth
occurs the surface soil dries out
consequently causing the tree to suf-
fer, for during a prolonged drouth
trees depend upon their roots In the
subsoil for moisture. If the drouth
is of any length the trees die. There
fore select well-drained site for
the orchard as no other will be sauis-
factory.
BY atmospheric drainage is meant
conditions that will give circula-
ton of sir through the orchard that
reduces the danger from frost. We
know that warm air rises and cold
air settles. Applying these princi'
pies to orchard work we plant our
orchard on the hill top because the
cold air settles in the valleys and
! the warm air rises to the hill tops
therefore, frost forms first in the
valleys. Trees planted on the hill
tops are exposed to cold winds anc
growth is held in check until later
spring when frost injury is not sc
great. The opposite Is true of trees
growing in the bottoms. They are
protected from cold winds and beglr
growth early in the spring. Yer!
often their fruit is killed before
trees on the hill tops begin to bloom
To obtain atmospheric drainage OF
level land, select site that is ex
posed to the wind. That Is, plant th'
orchard on open ground instead o
having It surrounded by trees. Thi
gives a circulation Of air that pre-
vents the formation Of frost.
A soil of medium fertility is bes
suited to Orcharding. Trees vii
not give good results on poor land
The fertility Of the soil can he cor
rected, but poor soil is a grea
handicap. On very rich land tn
trees put on too much wood growt
and not enough fruit buds. The
