I could not advise you from per-
sonal experience and observation as
TO the success which might attend
your efforts in the cultivation or
wheat in Florida. Wheat does fairly
well in middle Georgia and in some
sections of what might properly be
denominated south Georgia. In those
localities in which 1t grows it gives
best results on our heavier soils,
such as the Triton sandy loan, which
contains a good deal of red pebbles.
One of our troubles in this state is
due to wheat ruSting, owing 10 Gil
matte conditions which pertain oc-
casionally about harvest time. rms
causes the wheat berry to be small
and shriveled, therefore not very sat
isfactory for flour production. 1t also
makes a very light wheat. You, OF
course, understand that this state
ment only applied to certain locali-
ties, as we are able to raise each
year in Georgia several million bush
els of a very good grade of wheat.
We think, therefore. that the eli
matte factor is likely to be the gov
erning one in your state, ana Whlie
you may succeed well. we would
hardly think you would secure as
good results with wheat as some
other crops which you might grow.
However, it will be an interesting ex-
pertinent for you to grow a small
area and see what success attends
your efforts. We suggest that you
try an acre, as 1T will be a worthy
and patriotic thing for you to seed
this much land to wheat.
We would advise that you fertil-
ize at the rate of 500 pounds per
acre, using any carrier of nitrogen
which will supply not less than to
4 per cent of available organic nitro
gen and at the same time contain
per cent available phosphoric acid.
The fertilizer should be scattered
over the soil and we'll mixed in with
II at or before the time of planting
the wheat. sow a bushel and peck
per acre.
We believe you will find the Geor-
gia Red, Leaps Prolific, Red May,
Mediterranean or Fulcaster as sat
isfactory varieties of wheat to plant
in your section as any you can OBJ
tain. We would think the seeding
of wheat in Florida might with pro-
priety be done about the 18th of No
vember.

Handling velvet Beans at Harvest
Time
L. W. b., Parler, S. c., writes: What
will keep velvet beans from singing
the hands while picking them?


L. W. b., Parler, S. c., writes: What
will keep velvet beans from singing
the hands while picking them?
The method of handling velvet
beans to prevent them from sting
ing the hands depends a good deal
on the nature of the operation you
are conducting in your field. If you
only have a small amount of beans
to harvest we would suggest that
you use a heavy pair of buckskln
gloves or something similar there
to to wear on the hands when the
work is being done. In fact, this
the crop under any condition. Where
the beans are extensively grown ana
they have climbed well up on the
stalks of corn the stalks of corn
may be cut down and the beans and
corn bound together in sheaves by
corn harvester, or even an oral
nary reaper, though the corn har~
vester will prove much more salts
factory for this purpose. The stalks
and beans can then be secured IN
shocks.
Another good practice is to cut
off the masses of velvet beans with
the sickle and gathered up with a
fork having several tines and thrown
directly into the wagon bed.
The use of one of the methods sug

them should enable you to handle the
crop in question satisfactorily with"

Treating a Sore on the Eyehd
d. L. j., Wausau, Fla, writes:

q running sore on tile lower eyeGd. 1t
first looked like a wart but has turned
into running sore. The eyeball is all
right, and tin ecOw is in good shape
otherwise. Please give me remedy.
In treating a sore of the charac-
ter you mention it is first important
to see that the eye is not injured
by the use of too Strong a medicine.
There is not much danger of the
medicine entering the eye in the case
of your cow, because the sore is On
the lower lid. 1t will be necessary
to cleanse this fostering sore very
thoroughly, and to that end we sug-
gest that you wash it out thorough
