and while 1t is little early to plSnt 1t. earliness Is the main factor n getting the plans started so as to Si- ford late winter and early spring grazing.
 Q. I read in paper where @cherrles are ruined by pulling them off. IS this a fact and how should they be gathered? Mrs. c. S., Athens, Ala
 A. It is a fact that when cherries are pulled including the entire stem the next years bud that pro duces fruit will be injured. It IS really best to clip the stem or pull the fruit Cnly.
 Q. At this time of the year, what do you consider the best fertilizer to use for flowers and general gar den purposes? H. U.
 A. At thfs period, when hurry-up methods are indicated, it is probably best to use high grade complete fertilizer. It is supposed that the plants are already growing, when Tn such cases a side dressing Of about tablespoonful of material tC the foot would serve the purpose. Avoid application too close to the plant. SS be applied two to three inches dlI' tant from the plant and lightly co's cred with soil,
 @. have both arsenate Cf lea. and calcium arsenate carried over from last year and l now have use for this material. Is 1t all right to use? T, R., Athens, Ala. A. The arsenicals don't deteriorate with age and it would be perfectly safe to go ahead and use them ac- cording to printed directions.

ering and some protection from the hot, drying sun. When perennials are planted at this time of the year the ground should be mulched with leaves so as to conserve moisture. It Is frequently advisable to shade the seed beds with burlaps or old sack ing.
 O. We have some fine late apples and every year they become speck ed in early fall, which injures the sale cf them. Can you tell us something this? J. E., R. F. D. g.
 A. The trouble must be what is known as brown or bitter rot and trees ard fruit should have been sprayed before new, but it is possible t. correct trouble now by spraying wish .iine sulphur, using the summer spray strength and repeat at Is to 20 day intervals fer about three times.
 Q. Is it time to SOW buckwheat and should it be sown broadcast, in dr:ils and how much to the acre? J. L.. Morris, Ala.
 A. It is a good time to SOW buck wheat and plantings may be made as late as August It is generally sown broadcast but may be sown in drills like sorghum.
 c. Is it time to plant winter radish anl what variety is best? Mrs. R. T
 A. Winter radishes may be planted from now until October. Variety is largely a matter of preference. Any winter sort would answer.
 Q. We are thinking of trying tc produce some varieties of commercial
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-07-29

I bulbs. Can you tell us the best | soil that would be suited for this purpose? T. H.. Evergreen, Ala.
 A. Much would depend on the va riety of bulb you expect to under take As a general thing, the best soil for the production of bulbs is a 1 porous sandy loam, rather light, and one that is retentive of moisture. Hard clay or soils prone to bake is very unfavorable for bulb growth.
 Q. Do you advise the close cutting | of lawns when the weather is hot and dry? E. l..
 A. As a rule, lawns should be closely clipped. but in hot, dry pe- riods 1t is best to set the mower so as not to cut too near the ground surface, thus preventing excessive drying of the soil
 l e. What variety of collard is best i to plant for the Birmingham market ] and would you use seed or plants? T. NJ. Warritr, Ala.
 A. Variety makes little difference. Seed or plants may be used which ever is available.
 0. expect to inoculate crimson clover, bur clover and hairy veitch this fall. Can you tell us what brand of bacteria would be best? S. A., | Quinton, Ala.
 A. These columns could not recom- mand specific brands of commercial bacteria but practically all of them are very good and you could hardly make a mistake.
 Q. When will the new crop of seed rye be ready and how soon can it be planted? s. F., Childersburg, Ala.
 A. New seed rye Is now available

Can you suggest any treatment that would likely save the trees? J. F.
 A. In the absence of more definite information, 1t would be difficult to say definitely, but the writer Is in clined to the opinion that from your peculiar to the hickory and really nothing can be done after the pest is firmly established.
 Alabama like we did in the west? Generally, they grow only about a foot high, rust and sometimes don't head at all. It is the variety or poor soil? l.. T., Bessemer. Ala.
 A. Alabama holds the record for oat yield and it is, therefore, possible to grow as many oats to the acre in Alabama as anywhere. but as a mat ter of fact. it is not done because Alabama farmers will persist in planting oats on poor ground; also ! in planting common feed oats be- cause they save about 10 cents on the bushel. thus sacrificing an oat crop for the sake of a saving of 20 the big factor in oat production for the south.

 i A. There are sevetal types of Sa- voy cabbage but the most profitable | one for this section is probably the l American Drumhead Savoy.

CORN YIELDS

How many people know that the average yield of corn per acre in the Unites States for the past ten years is only a fraction above 27 bushels The lowest yield Is shown by Florida with a little less than 15 bushels to the acre while the highest average is AZ bushels In Connecticut, one of the poorest states in the union. Ala bama is near the tail end, although she holds several records as the greatest producer per acre of any section. When it is known that all Alabama can produce more than a hunlred bushes of corn to an acre, why is the average yield so pitifu? The answer is that farmers persist in planting corn on land that is too poor to profitably produce corn and again
 they will not use sufficient fertilizer to produce corn; neither will some of them rotate their crop sanl employ the legumes to build up their lands.

SNAP BEANS

A certain Jefferson County farmer came to the writers office this morn ing and showed sales ticket of six ty dollars for the first picking from the planting of one peck of pole beans. There will, of course. be more to sell and the profits from this one peck of beans will run well over a hundred dollars. The reason for this Is, that the farmer exercised proven methods of control for the bean beetle and by spending two dollars for a dust sprayer and less than three dol lars for material, he conserved a crop that will bring him three to four hun dred lollars per acre. The req son for the high price of snap beans this year is lue to the fact that the home gardner will not spend a cent for a sprayer or dust gun and the necessary material to control the bean beetle. It is sim gular fact that most garlners are not willing to spend cent towards bug insurance.

ent they seem to be dying. Can anything be done for them to make them bloom this fall? Mrs. k.
 A About the only chance would be to cut them down to the Brould and burn all the cuttings, then spray with limesulphur at the rate of three tablespoonsful of dry limesulphur to the gallon of water and repeat at ID to Is day intervals until new sRoots grow vigorously. The chances are the new shoots would produce How CTS late in the fall.
 Q. In putting up pickles, people use certain spices and other things for flavoring Can you tell us the best things to use? N. C., Sylacauga, Ala.
 A. This is largely Il matter of taste. The chief spices used are white mustard, cinnamon, aDspice, black and red pepper, cloves cori- ander, anise and tumeric.
 Q. Is there danger in putting car bonate of lime on flower beds and material? Mrs. S., Tuscumbia, Ala A. The best form of caronate of lime to use is either powdered lime marble or marble dust Neither of
 these have any caustic properties, i such as ordinary lime and will not cause injury
 Q. read your articles in The Age Herald and I see that flower jour- nals confirm your information about planting perennials, but l cannot get 1 the seed to come up. What is the real trouble? Mrs. S., Florence, Ala. | A, The main factor in getting per ennials up is suitable soil, light cov-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. What grain can we now SOW for our chicken-runs that would af- ford grazing by Christmas? s. Lin coin, Ala.
 A. About the only available grain would be rye, the new seed of which is now available. It may be sown alone or in connection with rape or thousand headed kale.
 Q. When can we purchase for inn mediate shipment the new crop of crimson clover? J. M, Gadsden, Ala.
 A. The Tennesse crop of crimson clover is available now or will be in few days but the great bulk of crim- son clover comes from France and Germany and these seed won't reach this country before sometime in Au- gust.
 Q. What is the cause of so many watermelons this season being white hearted and don't seem to ripen up as usual? w. B.. Brookside. Ala.

AGRICULTURE AS A BUSINESS

It might be interesting to know that one-half the world is engaged In agricultural pursuits. The United State Department of Agriculture after a careful survey of world con- ditions makes this announcements: The largest number of agricultural workers was found in India where Il million males and 34 million fe- males are so employed and comprise about 72 per cent of the total number of workers. Strange to say, the Un- ited States is second with II million macs anl ? million females or 29 per cent of all employed persons. It is only fair to say however that these figures do not include such large agricultural populations contained in Russia, China, Serbia, Hungary, Ar gentina, and Brazil, where definite figures are not available, The object of the survey was to determine as far as possible just how many agricul- tural workers were necessary to SUD- port those engaged in all other en- deavor,
