$500 wheat next Year.
The South Should Double its Fall Grain
Acreage.

Inc South Should Double its Fall Grain
Acreage.
With a practical certainty that
wheat next year will sell for 81 a
bushel or better, and with prices
of other grain crops almost GER
tain to be corresponding high, we
believe the South may very pro-
tltably double its small grain
acreage this fall.
Wheat promises to pay excep~
t~lonally we'll, especially in the
upper half of the Cotton Belt.
But that we may be assured of
profitable yields, it is essential
that certain precautions be taken.
First, a rather strong clay or
clay loan soil. we'll drained and
we'll filled with humus, should be
selected. A crop of cowpeas or
velvet beans disked to pieces and
plowed under five or six weeks
before planting will help greatly,
particularly if supplemented with
200 to 300 pounds per acre of acid
phosphate. Then about two
months before harvest time. if
the plants do not shows a healthy
green color, an application of IS
to 100 pounds per acre of nitrate
OF soda or ~sulphate ammonia
should be made.
There is even greater need for
increasing our oat acreage
because CD practically all parts
of the Cotton Belt are suited to
oats, and (2) more oats will re-
lease a larger portion of our crop
tor human consumption. What
we have said IN regard to pre-
paratlon and fertilization of
wheat applies also to the oat
crop. 1t should be added that to
avoid wiuter-killing oats should
be planted early-in September in
the upper half of the Cotton Bel,
and IN October in the lower half
Finally, every farmer in the
South should plant one or more
acres Of Abruzzi rye for fall
winter and spring grazing. For
cattle, hogs and chickens we be-
lleve it has no equal, and it i:
we'll suited to all parts of tho
South. Planted in September

BLUFFS AND "PLAYS DEAD"
But There's q Fatal Flaw In the Hog
Nosed Snakes Acting.

When you find hog nOSed snake
flattened out upon the soil in his
anxiety to absorb all the sunshine
that he can he Immediately adopts
a policy of "bluff." He first initiates
his body by a deep draft of air.
Then he fattens his head and ex-
pands his neck to three times its
proper width. Next he strikes an
grily toward the intruder and Kisses
with malignant fury. The average
pedestrian naturally retreats with a
feeling of gratitude for the danger
signals so unmistakably imprinted
by a kindly Providence upon the
deadly members of the reptile race.
A good field naturalist will quiet
ly advance his bare hand to the rep
tiles head, because he knows that
this snake can neither be induced to
give a poisonous bite nor a bite of
any kind. Seeing that the-observer
cannot be intimidated, the snake
then opens his jaws and acts as if
he had been injured. Convulsive
spasms ripple down his spine. He
writhes and twists as if transport
ed by the agonies of death, and,
turning over on his back, the last
convulsion dies away along the tail.
Now, nothing in nature looks more
dead than a snake lying with the
ivory white of his belly plates turn
ed upward to the sky, and the hog
nosed snake will simulate death so
patiently that you may carry him
by the tail or hang his body on a
fence and he will swing in the wind
and give no sign of life for an hour
or more.
But this clever acting has one ia
tai flaw. If you place him on the
ground with the belly downward he
will twist over on his back again.
He has such a fixed idea that "belly
plates skyward" is the correct pose
for a serpent'S corpse that, although
supposed to be lifeless, he will turn
over on his back a dozen times if
you as perseveringly persist in lay
ing him on his crawling surface. His
zeal for the perfection of mimicry
blinds him to the obvious truth that
dead snakes stay where they are
put.
