Questions on All Sorts of Sub
jects For the Farm.
Sfj| 1
The Cabbage Maggot.
Question.—I had a fine crop of ruta
bagas, When in September I noticed
they began to wilt and die. Upon ex
amination I found a small fly or moth
which laid the eggs on the stems of the
plants, and when they hatched the
worms or maggots ate their way down
the stems of the plants to the roots, eat
ing them also, which of course killed
the ruta-bagas. I send one of the flies.
Tell me the name, and a remedy for
them.
Answer.—The cabbage maggot (An-
thomyia brassicoe) is the name of the
pest which destroyed yW ruta-bagas.
They are a two-winged fly, and look
something like the common housefly.
The eggs, as you mention, are laiWon
the stems of the plants, and soon hatch
out small whitish maggots. These bur<
row down the stems into the earth, and
there feed on the roots of the plants. In
from 20 to 23 days after hatching the
maggots pupate, and a few days there
after appear as adult flies. There are
three or more broods each season. Many
unsatisfactory remedies have been sug
gested for this insect. Perhaps the best
is the kerosine emulsion, applied about
the roots which kills the maggots. Dr.
Riley has suggested the use of slacked
lime or ashes as a probable remedy.—
State Agricultural Department.
Cottonseed and Cottonseed Meal For Ms-
imring; Cotton,
Question.—Which is the best manure
for cotton, whole cottonseed, cottonseed
meal or crushed cottonseed?
Answer.—There is a slight difference
in favor of cottonseed meal over the
other two. The manurial value of
whole cottonseed and crushed seed is
about the same. As cottonseed is a com
plete fertilizer with an excess of nitro
gen, it is better suited forvgraln crops
than cotton, because the gYain requires a
larger amount of nitrogen, cotton
larger amount of phosphoric acid.—
State Agricultural Department.
Depth tb Apply Fertilizer For Cotton.
Question,—At what depth should
commerqyipJertilizers be applied for
cotton? and is it best, when a large
amojbnt is used^-td broadcast or put in
theririMjL.
■ Ajmswer.—The fertilizer should be ap
plied; at a depth of about 3 inohes and
tMlfMxed with the soil. The next re-
1 answers tae latter parrof your ques
tion.—State Agricultural Department.
Early Corn.
Question.—I am a new citizen of
your state, having moved from Michi
gan, and want some information. I
wish to plant a few acres in an early
Variety of corn for feed, what would you
recommend, and where can I get the
seed? For a general crop I can get some
fine seed corn from Virginia or Missouri;
would you advise me to use this, or the
corn raised around me?
Answer.—There are many varieties
of early corn and each has its advocates.
I prefer for South Georgia, the section
in Which you live—the “Golden Dent.’
You can plant it in your county from
Feb. 15 to ' 20, and on good land, or on
poor land well fertilized, yon can coupt
on its making a fair crop. Plant in
feet rows,' and 3 feet in the drill, one
stalk to the hill. This corn will mature
in time to be followed by a crop of field
peas, or sweet potatoes. You can buy
. the “Goldou Dent,” from any seed store
in oiir Cities or towns. As to planting
your general crop of corn with seed
from Missouri or Virginia, I { advise
against it. Get a good seed corn from
any of your neighbors, and with it yon
will make a better crop than with seed
brought from Missouri Afterwards,
improve your seed, annually, by passing
through your cornfield before gathering
the crop, and selecting for seed the best
ear from those stalks that have two or
more ears. By this plan youwnll soon
add materially to the yield per acre.—
State Agricultural Department.
Breaking a Colt.
Question.—In breaking a colt to har
ness Would you advise me to use a blind
bridle or not?
Answer.—Most horsemen are strongly
opposed to the use of “blinders,” as
they are called, claiming that in a great
many cases they cause disease of the
eyes, and not infrequently blindness.
Besides this, a horse is more easily
frightened when he has on a blind bri
dle, because of the fact that he gets a
distorted view of objects by the road
side, when without the “blinders” he
would see clearly every passing object,
and find no: cause for fright. Loud,
startling noises are also apt to frighten
the animal whose eyes are covered with
blinds. Hearing the noise, but not be
ing able to see what makes it, he nat
urally imagines something terrible is
after him, and just as naturally runs to
get away from it. No one can give any
good reason for using blind bridles, and
my advice is, never put one on your
colt, and you are more apt to make a
gentle animal of him than by use of the
“blinders.”—State Agricultural Depart
ment ~
News and Notes.
It is an undoubted fact that cattle are
scarcer than a year ago, while feed is
abundant.
The practice is gaining of cooking food
for stock.
You lose a most valuable fertilizer
when you permit the droppings of the
hennery to go to waste.
Watering the stock regularly is an im
portant item in winter.
When there is plenty of straw, use it
as a lining for the walls of wood sheds
for stock. It will exclude the cold
winds.—Exchange.
Harrowing' Oats to Loosen Up Soil.
Question.—I have a field of volunteer
oats, very thick, would it do any good
to run through them with a cutaway
harrow to loosen up the soil?. If yes,
when? I wont to manure them with
acid phosphate and cottonseed meal,
what proportion of each shall I use?
Should I mix any potash with the meal
and acid?
Answer.—I would advise against us
ing a cutaway harrow oh your oats, as I
think it would cut them up too much.
It would be an advantage to the oats to
cross and recross them with a plain
smoothing or straight tooth harrow,
which would loosen the soil to some ex
tent and slightly thin out the oats,
which would probably benefit them. Do
this as soon as the ground is sufficiently
dry.
A liberal top dressing of cottonseed
meal, say 800 pounds to the acre, applied
just before harrowing, would probably
insure you a good yield of Oats. ' As,
however, you doubtless expect to follow
your oat crop with peas, I suggest that
you add 160 pounds of phosphoric acid
and 50 pounds of kainit to the cotton
seed meal. In that case yon might ex
pect a fine pea crop after taking off the
oats without any further fertilizing.—

The Kind of Phosphoric, Aoid Best Suited
to Cotton.
Question.—Does it make any differ
ence what kind of phosphoric acid is
used for cotton, or are all equally good?
Answer.—The value of phosphoric
acid for cotton is in proportion to its
solubility; hence acid phosphates which
run high in soluble phosphoric acid
should be preferred. Insoluble phos
phoric acid, such as is found in marl,
floats, slag, etc., are of little - direct
value to the crop, though they may ben
efit the land for future crops. These,
to be profitable, should be applied to
leguminous crops, and when the stubble
and roots of these _crops are turned un
der and the land is then planted in cot
ton, the indirect value of the marl,
floats or slag, as the case may be, be
comes at once apparent in the increased
yield of the cotton.—State Agricultural
Department.
Time to Apply Fertilizers For Cotton.
Question.—If I should decide to fer-
tilta^-my-e«itoii vetyrireavfiy"'wITri t be
best to apply all the fertilizer at one
time or at different periods, say a part
at planting, a second application at the,
first plowing, and another later on ?
Answer.—The answer to your ques
tion depends very much on the kind of
fertilizer you will use. If the elements
are readily available and highly ammo-
mated we have found that to divide a
large amount into two and even three
parts and apply at different periods of
crop development has a marked 'effect
for good. But in the slower acting for
mulas it is more profitable to make one
application at time of planting, dividing
it between the planting and the two ad
joining furrows,—State Agricultural
Department.
Kainit For Bust In Cotton.
Question. —Is kainit a certain pre
ventive for rust in cotton ? On some of
my land the cotton rusts badly, but I
have not found that kainit prevents it.
I thought perhaps there was some par
ticular way of applying it, as I have
seen it very highly recommended.
Answer.—Kainit has been recom
mended as a specific for blight or rust
in cotton, but further experiment is re
quired to settle this as an undispnted
fact. It is best always to apply it in
connection with the other two elements,
nitrogen and phosphoric acid, and seems
to have the best effect When used in
conjunction with cottonseed or cotton
seed meal rather than other forms of
nitrogenous manures.—State Agricul
tural Department.
