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 In our travels through the country we observe that the method of covering cotton with a board has been very largely superseded—on the best man aged farms—by the harrow or forked plow, with favorable results in the mat ter of securing a stand.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.
