ed.

We recently passed a field where
the corn stalks had been cut and
raked into wind rows. We presume
that this farmer is preparing to burn
them. There is just as much wisdom
in setting fire to houses or any other
property as setting fire to corn
stalks. 1t is worse than a waste of
labor. 1t is burning soil fertility
which lowers the labor returns. There
was time when we could afford to
put fire to our corn stalks. That was
when the land was fertile and we had
no implements with which to tear up
and turn under rank vegetation. In a
day when we have disc harrows and
heavy plows there is no greater fol-
ly committed on farm than burning
corn stalks.

Frate Lewis attended the Duroc
sale held at Jackson recently. He in
forms us that all of his farm animals
are bred to pure bred sires. Are there
any other farmers in the county that
can say as much? His hogs are Du-
roc Jerseys and his cattle are Short
horns. He believes the later will
suit his conditions best because he
does not sell milk and butter.

w. v. Barry has secured some nj

forcing early vegetables. There is
nothing that will pay better for this
purpose than this sort of fertilizer

begin to grow. Another one should
be applied before they start to head.
A little more than teaspoon full is
sufficient for each application.

C. C. Hamilton bought some nitrate

more this year.

J. A. Wadley has some land that
was in cotton last year. He expects
to put it in pasture. Instead of wait

which it will certainly do he is go

This will insure pasture for the next
year and help to prevent washing of

W. W. Rogers inquired recently
about two problems that confront
practically all farmers. The first one
is about fire blight in apple and pear
trees. There is only one way to fight
this terrible pest. Remove all infect
ed twigs far back of where the dis
ease appears to be. Sponge each cut
place Immediately with a strong BIZ
cholaric or mercury solution. The
second one was about the control of
oat smut. This may be done by treat
ing the seed with the old reliable blue
stone solution. This is done by dip
ping or wetting them in the solution
which should contain about 4 pounds
per so gallons Of water. They are

FINE FRUIT CROP IN PROJECT
AS EVIDENCED BY EXHIBITS

The Newlands project fruit crop
Is short this year insofar as guam
tity is concerned, but the quality is
wonderful, say those who have
been around among the orchards
of the project where highly colored
apples, peaches and other varieties
of fruit are much in evidence. The
apple crop is probably up to the av-
erage in yield, the shortage COM
planned Of having to do chiefly with
peaches, which were caught by the
late frosts Of last spring. Charley
Johnson who has one of the most
dependable peach orchards in the
valley, has a yield which is only a
fractional part as great as is usual.
1t has happened in past years that
he sold as many as nine tons of
peaches from his place, yet this
year he could spare his customers
only 1900 pounds.
However. Mr.. Johnson's peaches
of the 1920 crop are wonderful in
size and flavor and cannot be ex-
celled anywhere. Unfortunately.
the finest peach speciment of his
crop are not available for fair
showing, having ripened weeks
ago.
