sary for seed corn to protect it from
weevil damage?
Answer: Small amounts of corn tt
be saved for seed can he protected
by mixing thoroughly about one par!
of lead arsenate with 1000 part by
weight of corn. This corn must be pro
perly handled and safeguarded to pre-
vent it's use for food. Larger amount.
of corn would have to be fumigatce
with carbon disulphide. This chemica
must be handled with care as tn.
fumes are explosive after mixing witt
ar. The room or bins should be tight
or if the floor is tight, the pile o.
grain may te covered with canva!
after adding the funigant.

Reduction Necessary in Tobacco
Acreage.

North Carolina tobacco growers will
have to take a sizeable gouge from
their 1888 acreage to offset the bum
per crop produced in 1887, w. G. Finn
of the AAA, told farmers attending
the second annual tobacco short
course at State College last week.
In producing a 5000 100000 crop,
flue-cured growers of the Nation piled
up a 100000 pound carry-over
which may affect prices this year,
Finn, who is assistant administrator
of the East Central region, declared.
Although marketing the largest flue
cured crop on record, North Carolina
producers averaged about % cents a
pound for their offerings. This spec
taco of bumper crop bringing high
prices was caused by an increased
foreign and domestic demand, Finn
said.
However, he said, domestic demand
will not increase more than five per
cent in 1888, and the foreign demand
may even drop off because of unset
tied conditions in the Orient and be-
cause many countries now importing
United States flue-cured leaf are be-
| ginning to grow more of their own
tobacco.
1.-THE high prices received for the
| large 1887 crop may cause growers
everywhere to plant more tobacco this
year unless suitable control measures
are put into effect" Finn said
pending legislation in Congress
will aid in equalizing the supply and
demand of tobacco" the AAA repre-
sentative told the farmers IF passed.
growers will have a chance to accept
or reject the legislation through a re-
ferendum. A two-thirds majority Will
be needed for the act to become law.
The referendum would take ABOUT
thirty days for completion, FINN sale.
Question: When is the best time to
root scuppernong and muscadlne
grape vines?
Answer: Scuppernong the musca-
dine grape vines should be rooted
during the fall or early spring. The
vines should be laid flat on the ground
mr. nlaced in a shallow trench and COW
erred with soil several feet from the
end of the vine The roofing vine, of
course. should be left connected with
the parent vine until roofing has
taken place. If the vines are very long
soil may be placed on the canes at
intervals of every three feet. In this
way several roots are secured from
one cane. The vines will be ready for
planting after they have remained
covered for one season.

can teach his son to have a deep re-

GOLF.

CATONSVILLE, Mo, Aug. l.
Washington's simon-pure linksterS,
hand-picked by the Districts golf
ing writer's, cleaned up, II to z,
against the Oriole City'S best
amateur golfers yesterday at Roll
ing Road Club. Roger Peacock,
playing in the No. l position, with
stood Baltimore's favored Spencer
Overton, 4 and 2.
Billy Shea, District champion,
teamed with Peacock, was unable
to stand up against Otto Greiner,
Middle Atlantic champion. The
only other District golfers to drop
points to Baltimore we're Claude
Rippey and Billy Dettweiler, of
Congressional, Eddie Bean of
Beaver Dam and Dick Meyer, Dis
trict junior champion.
Both M. Parker holland of Con-
greSsional and Buddy Sharkey of
Indian Spring shot par 70's to
trounce their Baltimore oppo-
nentS.
The days spotlight played full
on Roger Peacock, with Overton
willing under his barrage of pars
and Greiner and Shea failing to
play golf of equal caliber to their
past performances.
Two up at the seventh hole,
Roger plunked his pitch shot two
feet from the pin, with a good
prospect of increasing his lead.
Before a gallery of Baltimoreans
and Washingtonians hush-hush-
ing on the fringe of the green,
Overton addressed his 40-foot putt
and holed it for half.
Again OVerton played Hagen
golf on the ninth, when Peacock
came to rest next door to the pin,
only to have Overton sink a 30
footer.
On the twelfth, Peacock three
putted and lost hole, but stiff
ened up and closed the match on
the seventeenth.
Billy Shea contributed three
holes to the Peacock-Shea beSt-ball
score against Greiner and Over
ton, to make the score for the
top-fIight foursome two points to
one in favor of the District team.
