Bermuda Grass

More abuse has been heaped upon Bermuda grass than all other sos called pests found growing in the south, and yet it is the greatest bene- factor to mankind we have.
 It Is an admitted pest when distrib- uted over land to be cultivated, but when isolated and kept under proper control, and this is not so difficult, no other grass that will grow in the southern climate begins to approach its equal. A hundred years ago Ber- muda was growing promiscuously in Alabama; and it would seem that if sit was the terrible menace some writers claim, that the entire south by now would be entirely overcome.
 The best evidence that only small per cent of the southern farmers fail to appreciate the value of Bermuda is shown by an ever increasing demand for the seed. few years ago seed had to be imported from Australia. but our own government found after many years of experiment and research that seed of strong vitality could be pro. duced in certain hot sections of Ari- zona, and this is now a world source for the bert seed

EffIcient PIowing

Every farmer knows the value of efficient blowing, but many seem to forget about 1t syhen planting their crops, which is really the proper time to take the necessary steps to make cultivation with the blow easy.
 The most important thing to con- slider is the proper distance of the rows, which should always be the same width apart; and inasmuch as most rows must be crooked on ac- count of the contour of the land, it becomes difficult to lay off by eye sight so as to secure uniform width, The only safe plan is to use a marker to lay out the rows before opening the furrow or making the beds. A home made marker is easily made by using a beam of sufficient length and weight, boring holes at different dis tances throughout the length and in- serting wooded pegs or iron teeth. The distance of pegs when once ct for the width required will mark the dis tance for the succeeding row. and If necessary to make the rows crooked all of them will be the same distance apart, making 1t easy to cultivate every row alike.
