What the Vetch Promises
• To Georgia Farmers
PAKT I.
The vetch is now grown moie or less
extensively throughout the southern
States, but not one-thousandth part of the
land is devoted to its cultivation which
th* merit of the crop justifies. In fact.
, the cotton farmer has never utilized win-
1 ter cover crops as he should and as he
will be forced to do in the future by
reason of the rapid depletion of our soils
in fertility There is probably no crop
which can be grown more advantageously
during the winter than the vetch, eithei
alone or in combination with some of the
cereals. If the proper varieties of vetch
are selected and combined with any of the
careals. pasture may be had during the
fall, winter and early spring equal in
quality to Bermuda, and not far short ol
blue grass, and owing to the mildness of
the climate of the gulf states, the farm
animals will be able to gather their living
for the greater part of the time out of
door* In fact, at the State College of
Agriculture last year hogs were maintain
ed at a modicum of coat for grain and at
tention on a mixture of rye and vetch
and oat* and vetch. Quite a large num
ber of heifer*, retained for the building
up of the dairy herd. were carried
through the winter without a mouthful
of feed other than they gathered for
themselves on pastures similar to those
mentioned above. The dairy cows were
frequently turned out on these pastures
and did remarkably well whenever given
some fresh feed Any of these combina
tion* will prove efficient on those dairy
farms where silos have not be*n built
and even on those boasting a silo thbre
win always be times when soiling will be
necessary, and there are few crons that
x will be ready for soiling <n advance of
the vetch cereal combination, and cer- I
tainly none of superior merit for feed
ing to dairy cows. Moreover, the cron
mar be pastured during the fall, winter
and early imring. and then if the animals
are withheld for a counle of months a
• Choice cron of hav will be obtained. This
hay will be eoual in feeding value and
quality to that which can be made from
almost any other cron successfully raised
In the south, and a yield of from one to
two tons per acre may be anticipated on
land of only fair fertility. In fact, aftei
the severe pasturage to which a crop
of oats and rye and vetdh was subjected
a yield of at least a ton and a half of ,
cured hay per acre was ha-vested on a
red clay hillside that any who have seen
It would certainly not call rich. More
over. this crop was raised after the land
had produced a yield of about six tons
of corn and sorghum for silage, and no
special fertilizer of any sort was used

The one advantage which the win
ter drop enjoyed was the fact that »t
was seeded shortly after the first of
September and made a strong growth
before cold weather set in. Os course,
the vetch may be sown much later
than this, but early seeding whenever
practicable will be found the meat de
sirable. We also believe'it will pay

I Just a word as to varieties of vetch.
The hairy or winter vetch is by all
odds the hardiest and most vigorous;
I variety with which we are acquainted. !
■ It is slow-growing, however, and makes !
but little development in the fall, and j
i does not come on as rapidly in the
early spring as many see mto think It
i should. The fact that it is hardy, how
’ ever, and will withstand the winter
j freezes is a strong point in its favor.
The English vetch, Vlcia sativa, the
I same as the Oregon vetch so much
' talked about recently, grows off much
more rapidly than the hairy vetch and
• makes a good growth in the late fall j
' and early winter. It is not nearly so
‘ hardy, however, as the hairy or win
-1 ter vetch, and is therefore not to be
i depended on like the latter. It is prob”
. ably better to combine the two rather
j than to rely on one. To quote from
j our own experience: Last winter cer-
I tain sections of land were sown to ry»
; and the hairy vetch. True to its char
• acteristic, the vetch did not develop to !
( any appreciable extent until February,
j The Oregon vetch, however, seeded with
I rye alongside the hairy vetch grew off
I very well in the early fall, provided
considerable pasturage before Christmas
and an abundance thereafter until the
freeze of January 29. To the uninf
: tlated the Oregon vetch looked like a
! winner and one would have been la
i dined to give scant consideration to
the hairy vetch had they seen the two |
grown side by side. Hogs and calves i
• also appreciated the vigor and preco-1
I city of the English vetch and ate it I
with avidity, but this did not seem to
Injure it. However, when the unex
i pected and unusually severe freeze re
-1 ferred to occurred, the Oregon vetch
was completely destroyed, not a sprig
of it being left to tell the story. The
hairy vetch was not injured in the
least and immediately after the freeze
began a vigorous development which
It continued until harvested In May,

HOW TO MAKE PEA-VINE HAY.
J. R. 1., Milledgeville, Ga., writes: I
have a fine lot of pea-vine hay. but have
had no experience in saving it. I want
to cut at a period when I can save the
leaves. I have heard of people cutting
and shocking in the field by means of
poles with two pieces nailed crosswise,
and the hay piled around these In a cone
shape so as to shed water. I have been
informed that by this method you car,
shock just behind the mower, and save it
successfully even In rainy weather. 1
would like to have your opinion of this or
any other method you may suggest, for
I do not want to make a misaae. Your
plan suggested for shocking and curing
corn was a perfect success.
, We have been quite successful In curing
pea-vine hay after the following method:
Go to the woods and get some sapplings
about three inches in diameter. Cut them
in pieces about four feet long and sharper,
one end. Drive three of these into the
ground so as to form a triangle. Some
times it is well to secure with a nail or
two where they cross so the weight of
green pea vines put over them will not
bend tl.« m down and deieat the purpose
for which they are used. The idea of
using these three pieces of sapplings, as
suggested, is to form a ventilator under
the mass of green vines and let the air
circulate freely througn the pile Vines
that are quite green can be cured suc
cessfully in this way. We know of no
method of curing which is simpler or
costs less than the one suggested. A
large pole, such ns you have described, to
which cross arms are nailed has been
used by many with satisfaction, but we
believe our method is simpler, and cer
tainly quite as effective.
Os coui re. it is a difficult matter to cure
pea vines when the weather is wet> no
matter what precautions are taken, but
you will be more likely to succeed by
following the plan suggested than in any
other manner which we have yet tr ei.
For ourselves, we always like to cut
the peae and allow them to wilt partly
before piling up, and after they are
stacked up if the weather is wet. you
can cap with a little grass or something
that will shed the water. Where hay
caps are used pea vines can be success
fully cured in bid wenther and «fn *e et
vine hay is a staple product In Georgia,
it would seem advisable on large plan
tations to secure a supply of these caps
which cost comparatively little.
Pea vines are best cut for hay when
'he lower -nd the maio’-lty o' ’h<»
pods are beginning to turn yellow. If left
longer than this the grain will shatter out
and more or less of the leaves will be
lost in the curing process. We have
cured much pea-vine hay successfully
this year after the plan suggested.
i lam glad that you found me method of
[ shocking and curing corn aa outlined in a
former letter so satisfactory.

[ I FERTILIZING OATS.
, J F. W. D. W.. Mount Vernon, Ga., writes;
I want to use 500 pounds of a 10-3-3 fertilizer
' under my oats this fall. Is it well to put
the fertilizer and the grain in with a
grain drill at the same time, or will the
fertilizer kill the seed?
11 ’
, The suitability of a 10-3-3 fertilizer so:
! oats depends somewhat on the nature o£
the land. Where cowpeas or other le
gumes have not been grown on the land
during the summer, and a heavy crop
. such as corn or millet has been harvest
jed, 3 per cent of nitrogen is not too
I much to use on oats. If the land is sandy
•the fertilizer would be improved somt-
I what by the use of more potash, say 4 to
5 per cent. Five hundred pounds of your
mixture with 100 pounds of kainit added,
making 600 pounds in all, would give you
the needed increase in potash for such
soils. The amount of fertilizer you pro
pose to use is not too much for this crop,
i and there is no objection in the world
|to using a 10-3-3 fertilizer at this season
■ of the year as the phosphates and potash
are not easily lost by leaching or wash
ing from the soil, and the nitrogen is
likely to be utilized by the crop during
the fall season and held In such form
during the winter as to prevent its loss.
We have drilled oats and fertilizer to
gether as suggested by you, and in a
mild winter tlie plan Is as good as any
with which we are familiar, but owing
to the fact that we generally have one
or more severe freezes during the winter
which often kills the oat crop, we think
it better to sow in the open furrow. There
is a drill now on the market which sowj
jfour rows at a time and applies the fer
itflizer aS well. F'e believe it is a good
Investment whew considerable areas are
Ito be devoted tu the oat crop. It is of
'course better to apply the fertilizer and
grain so they will not come directly in
I contact, and especially is this true when
the source of nitrogen is cotton seed meal,
as for some reason this material seems
to affect germination unfavorably. The
ordinary grain drill may as a rule be so
, adjusted as to prevent the two from com
ling in contact with each other.

COTTON MEN PLAN
10 CUBTAILOUTPUT
i
Gigantic Movement, Brought
About by High Price of Raw
Material snd Small Sales, Be
gun for General Decrease,
I
l
BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 9.—A gigantic
movement born of unrest of long standing
is in progress throughout the leading cot
ton textile districts of the world, looking
towards a general curtailment of produc
tion during the remaining months of this
year and in 1910. The principal reasons
advanced for the movement are the grad
ual Increase in the cost of raw material
and the failure of the dry goods markets
to respond in away which would assure
continued profit to manufacturers during
the next 12 months.
RUN ON SHORT TIME.
In Lancashire, the yarn spinners have
been running their mills on short time for
two months and recently many other
English mill owners voted to shut down
two days each week until November S.
On September 15, the Arkwright club, of
Boston, representing 14,000,000 out of 17,-
000,000 spindles In New England, sent out
to all the cotton mills In this district,
i which is second In the Industry to Lan- .
| eash ire, forms of an agreement for signa- ;
■ tures for a curtailment. The investiga-j
tions of the executive committee of this |
club convinced it that no difficulty would i
be experienced in securing the signatures
representing 7.000,000 spindles.
The proposition calls for the suspension
of work for 224 working hours between the
date of the agreement and August 1, 1910,
to become effective when no less than
7,060,000 spindles have been signed up.
REPORTS FAVOR DECREASE.
Reports from different sections of New
England indicate that the proposition of
the Arkwright club is meeting with an j
encouraging response. Such a curtail-j
ment, however, is not likely to become
effective in this state in the immediate
future, as many of the mills that will
sign an agreement will be unable to fill
pre lent orders without steady running un
til z’ell into January.
1 le Rhode Island and Fall River man
ufacturers are, as a rule, willing to cur
tail prdduction, providing that they are
not called upon to withhold goods while
outside centers continue to run in full.
The curtail movement is of great inter
est In New Bedford and other places :
where the operatives have been refused a
restoration of a 19 per cent cut in wages i
made In 1908. It is suggested that If the .
New Bedford manufacturers are in sym- |
pathy with the 30 day closing movement, |
the effect of a strike In that city would
be partially nullified. •
SOUTH PROBES PLAN.
The curtailment has also been taken up
by the southern cotton mill owners. Yes
terday the board of governors of the
American Cotton Manufacturers’ associa
tion, at a meeting in Charlotte, N. C.,
adopted resolutions setting forth their
claim that the present disparity between
the price of cotton and cotton goods pre
cludes the possibility of the successful;
operation of southern mills. A committee
was appointed to formulate a curtailment
agreement which every mill in the south
will be urged to signe.
In certain cotton producing and selling
centers the claim is made that the present
curtailment movement is largely an at
tempt to hold down the price of the sta
ple. The officials of the operatives' un
ion in several New England cities profess
to see In the campaign an attempt to
avoid an advance in wages, but the of
ficials of the Arkwright club deny that
the wage question has anything to do
with their existing plans.
The cotton mills of New England, In
cluding yarn mills, employ upwards of
200,000 hands.
FIND REMEDY FOR
SAN JOSE SCALE
In the accidental discovery of the black ;
fungus, peach growers believe they have •
at last found a successful remedy for the I
San Jose scale, one of the worst foes of!
the orchard.
This fungus was first discovered In i
Florida, where orange growers used it !
in combating a certain infection in their
groves. It grows on the limbs of trees,
and produces a light feathery growth
which the wind blows to other trees. This
growth, thus blown by the wind, lands |
on the scale-infected trees and kills the ,
scale.
Hitherto orchardmen have depended on
sprays to kill the scale. This method Is I
nut infallible, and is very expensive. The I
fungus eliminates expense and works Its :
own cure without aid.
Recognizing the great value of this fun-1
gus, if it accomplishes the results ciaim-1
ed to Georgia orchardmen, President H. 1
C. Bagley, of the Georgia fruit exchange,
has written various people who have
tried It, for their opinion of its practical
value. W. H. Harris, of Fort Valley, In |
reply to one of these letters, says that;
the fungus was put in the old Dietzen or- ,
chard there three years ago. This orchard •
was badly infected with scale, but now,
with little cultivation, the scale has prac-1
tically disappeared.
C. M. Griffing, of Jacksonville, a nur
seryman, In his reply, says that the fun
fus has done away with spraying in one
orchard he knows of. He says the run- j
gus thrives best where there is plenty of
humidity.

GOT CLOTHES, DIAMONDS,
FOB, PIN, SI2S—ALL FOR S2O
Do you know of any one who has ever
had th* good luck to buy for 120 a ready
made suit of clothes with 1127 In cash, a
diamond ring, gold watch fob and Shrin
ers pin thrown Into boot?
Well, whether you have or not. a well
known resident of Baltimore, Md., made
this large purchase at the store of A. E-
Marcus company, on Peachtree street
Saturday. And now he Is making an ef
fort to locate the owner of the money,
ring, fob and pin in an effort to return
them all.
The finder of the valuables was a visi
tor to Atlanta last week and on Saturday
entered the establishment of E. A. Mar
cus to buy a suit of clothes. After look
ing over the stock he picked out a nice
looking suit and tried it on. As it fit him
well he ordered It sent to th* Piedmont
hotel, where he was stopping. When he
tried on the clothes he did not look in
the pockets and for this reason did not
then discover the money.
He had no cause to wear th* new suit
before leaving Atlanta and did not put
it on until Wednesday when he reached
Baltimore. Immediately after changing
clothes he began changing his pocket
book and papers from his old clothes to
the new and then it was that h* discov
ered the pocket book containing th*
money, the ring and watch fob. He was
very much surprised at pulling so many
valuables from h new suit and wa* at a
loss to explain just how they had got
ten there.
On Saturday morning a resident of Sa
vannah, Ga., visited the Marcus store to
buy a suit of clothes and in trying to
get fitted tried on the same suit in which

the money was later found. It is believed
that when the Savannah resident was try
ing on the clothes he changed his money
from his old suit upon leaving the dress
ing room to go out to the mirror. Patrons
often do this rather than leave their mon
ey in their suit of clothes in a diffrent
part of the house, and this is given as the
explanation in this mysterious case.
No one has complained to the clothing
store about losing their money, and they
are at a loss as to who lost it. Probably
the loser has complained to his hotel pro
prietor and reported the matter to the po
lice, but naturally did not think of leav
ing his pocketbook in a suit of clothes at
a clothing store.
The finder of the valuables is a member
of Acca Temple, Mystic Shrine, and upon
finding the shrine pin in the suit with the
money he at once set about to locate the
proper owner. Immediately after finding
them he wrote the Atlanta firm and told
them just what he had found in the
clothes and requested them to aid him in
the search for the proper owner. He fur
nished the clothing company with hie
name and address and stated that he
would gladly turn money, ring, fob, pock
etbook and pin over to the proper owner
without any reward whatever.
