COTTON, WEATHER AND WORK.
If there be truth in the old saying,
“a dry May for cotton” —then, indeed,
we have had an auspicious season dur
ing the present month. The saying
can have no application to fields on
which a stand of cotton has not been
secured, and we fear there are many
such in Georgia and also in other
States, where the planting had been
deferred or delayed later than the first
of the month. In such cases there is
no remedy. It is one of the accidents
to which a late planted crop is subject.
In our travels through the country we
observe that the method of covering
cotton with a board has been very
largely superseded—on the best man
aged farms—by the harrow or forked
plow, with favorable results in the mat
ter of securing a stand. It is well to
note the backsets our crops receive, as
we go along, comparing the results of
different methods of accomplishing the
same object, with a view to correct er
rors next time.
The work of putting cotton to a fin
al stand ought to be rapidly completed,
especially in view of the approaching
small grain harvest, which will then
demand all the energies of the farmer
during its continuance. Where favor
able seasons have occured or the work
has been delayed, the whole available
working force of the farm should be
devoted to putting the fields of corn
and cotton in clean and mellow condi
tion in anticipation of the rains which
we will probably have in June.
We are very apprehensive, however,
of a long drouth in compensation for
the excessive rains of the past winter
and spring, and the present dry spell
may be the beginning of it. The mod
erate rainfall in April and the dry
May so far (in most places) are rather
favorable than otherwise, as we may
reasonably expect an earlier termina
tion of the drouth.
Already the accounts from the oat
Crop are gloomy. The larger portion
was planted in the winter and early
t spring, and are consequently late and
greatly dependent on good seasons in
May and June for a good yield.
Whatever may be the result as to
any one crop, the farmer should not be
discouraged, but “try, try again.” There
is yet ample time to prepare for and
plant liberal crops of German millet,
forage corn, potatoes and peas j and
these crops should not be neglected.
In the southern portion of the State
the corn will soon be sufficiently ad
vanced to commence laying by. Where
seed can be had we advise the sowing
peas broadcast at the last working—
at the rate of half a bushel or more per
acre.
SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUSTS.
For two or three weeks past the
woods in certain parts of the country
have been resonant with the monoton
ous drumming of so-called locusts.
Many of our younger readers have
never before witnessed a visitation of
t.W comparatively harmless insects,
and as their history is singular, a short
account of their habits will be found
interesting to many.
In the first place they are not locusts
in the true sense, but belong to a dif
ferent order— Hemiptera while the
locust proper belongs to the order Or
thoptera. The correct name is Cicada,
of which there are several species, the
one now paying us a visit being the
Cicada septendecim or seventeen-year
Cicada, because they repeat their visits
at periods of seventeen years. In the
perfect form they only live a few weeks
during which time their chief business
is to increase and multply. In their
previous states they pass a much lon
ger time, depending in some measure
upon the nature and abundance of
their food.
The female locust is provided with a
sharp instrument with which she pier
ces the small twigs of the oak (and
sometimes of other trees) forming a
series of small holes in which the eggs
are deposited. A single female will
thus lay four or five hundred eggs,
after which exertions she languishes and
dies. The twigs in which the eggs are
deposited soon wither and die and drop
from the tree, as the locust generally
saws them partly off before leaving
them.
The eggs are about one-twelfth of an
inch long and hatch in from forty to
fifty days. The young insects, when they
burst from the shell, are about one
sixteenth of an inch long, and some
what grub like in appearance, being
furnished with six legs. They are very
lively in their movements—almost as
much so as ants. In a few minutes
they are prompted by instinct to get
to the ground, which they do by de
liberately lossing their hold and falling
to the earth. They then immediately
bury themselves in the soil, seeming to
follow the roots of plants which they
perforate with their beaks, and thus
living on the vegetable juices, which
constitute their sole nourishment. They
do not usually descend very deeply in
to the ground, but remain where the
roots are most abundant and the only
alteration to which they are subject
during the whole period of their life in
the soil, is an increase of size and grad
ual development of the wing cases. As
the time of their change into the per-
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, MAY 2,6, 1881.
feet winged insect approaches, they
gradually ascend towards the surface
and finally issue at night in great num
bers, crawl up the trunks of trees or
other objects to which they firmly fix
themselves by their claws, and prepare
to cast off their old clothes. This they
manage to do after considerable effort
by bursting the skin along the back
and withdrawing the wings and limbs
from their separate cases, leaving the
empty shells entire and attached as at
first. In a few hours the insects are
sufficiently dry and strong to fly, and
soon commence their daily serenade.
Their music (only the males sing) is
made by little kettle drums— one under
each wing—plainly visible and formed
of parchment stretched over cavities.
So far as observed, they eat nothing
solid, but are provided with a proboscis
for sucking, similar to that of the
honey-bee, and probably live during
their brief honey-moon on vegetable
juices as do other insects of this order.
Os course, the idea that the appear
ance of the locust forebades war, fam
ine or other dire calamity, is only su
perstition. The Won the extremity
of each wing may stand as well for
wine, women, or whiskey, as for war.
The Cicada sometimes lays its eggs in
the twigs of apple and pear trees, and
in this way causes considerable injury,
as such twigs invariably wither and
die. But as they appear only at inter
vals of seventeen years, they may be
considered, on the whole, as harmless
insects.
BERMUDA GRASS—ENQUIRY.
A farmer in South Georgia presents
the following questions which he
“wants answered”:
1. “Does Bermuda grass ever get be
yond the control of the farmers?
2. “Has it ever taken possess of
plantations in Georgia, and forced the
owners to give them up?
3. “If it is as bad as sometimes re
presented, what is the best means of
destroying it where there is a small
quantity ?”
The first two questions are of matters
of fact which we are not prepared to
answer. It has been currently stated
that plantations in lower Middle Geor
gia have been abandoned on account
of Bermuda grass, but now-a-days we
hear no complaints of it,and rarely an in
quiry for a method of destroying it, ex
cept from one who likes our querist,
has had but little or no experience
with it. During a recent visit to Mon
roe and Bibb counties, we saw several
fields ( notably some just aboveForsyth)
in which the Bermuda had either had
complete possession of them at one
time and been subdued, or it had been
successfully confined to the hillside
ditches—for the latter were firmly sod
ded with it from end to end —the til
lable land was in a young and growing
crop of cotton.
Several years ago Dr. Janes—then
Commissioner of Agriculture—sent out
questions to the crop correspondents
of the Department on the subject of
the present enqueries, and on the in
formation elicited based the September
Crop Report of 1878.
Among the questions submitted in
that report was this: “Can Bermuda
be exterminated or subdued so as to
admit of cultivating the land in other
crops? Give the best method of ac
complishing this.” The Commissioner
in reference to it said : “This was the
most important question submitted,
and it is remarkable with what unan
imity those who have had experience
with Bermuda, answer the first part of
it affirmatively, referring to ordinary
uplands. In low, rich bottoms it is
generally considered very difficult, if
not unpracticable to subdue it.”
We send a copy of the circular from
which we have been quoting to our
correspondent, and in the mean time
would be glad to hear from our readers
who have had valuable experience with
Bermuda. Give accounts of its value
for grazing, its effects as a restorer or
improver of the soil, and the method
of subduing it for cultivating the land
in other crops. We have for years
been impressed with the importance
of utilizing to the fullest extent the
valuable qualities it is known to pos
ses. Those who have had abundance
practical experience of its value, and
are satisfied that it indeed may be
made a great blessing to Southern far
mers cannot do a greater service to the
country than to convince others of its
value and thereby induce its extensive
culture.
How to Manure Lands in the
South. —I never read of using barn
yard manure in the South, but what I
think that ’tie all buncombe. I have
never seen enough barn yard manure
made in the South, on any one farm,
to manure ten acres land ; probably not
five. And I have always believed that
the pea crop, if raised and fed off by
stock, would enrich any lands in the
South. If all farms were divided into
four fields: one for grass, one for peas,
one for corn, one for cotton, and the
peas, when ripe, fed to hogs by letting
the hogs eat them in the field, and
then all the cotton-seed from the cotton
fed on the pea field to sheep, there
would soon be no use to purchase fer
tilizers.
The fact is, brother farmers, it is
more stock and less cotton in the South
or it is ruin. Sheep manure your land,
destroy weeds and briars, make farm
ing easier, and pay more money than
raising cotton. If dogs annoy you,
then get up a raid on dogs; carry saus
ages with a little strychnine with you,
and feed liberally; force your Legis
lature to pass a dog law, or build barb
wire fence.— Cor. S. Cultivator.
