ABOUT CHUFAS.
Variety—Methods of Culture—How to
Gather, Store, Etc.
There is only one kind of chufas.
The yield per acre has never Been set
tled and never will be. So much de
pends upon the soil and culture that it
is impossible to ascertain -the exact
yield than can be produced. We have
had tbesn anywhere from 50 to 100
bushels per acre. The weight of a
bushel depends on how they are clean
ed and dried. They should weigh 4S
pounds.
A sandy loam is the best soil, and
stable manure is-best, about four tons
per acre.
Commercial fertilizers should contain
about f! per cent ammonia. 10 per cent
phosphoric acid and 3 per cent potash.
Six hundred to 1,000 pounds per acre
should be used.
The soil should he plowed very deep
and pulverized very line by going over
five’ or six times with a good harrow.
The rows should be three feet apart
and the chufas put IS inches in drill.
Stir often and keep all grass and weeds
out. They should be plauted in April
and gathered when fully matured.
They will not keep in bulk, but must
be washed, dried and kept in small par
cels or in bags holding one bushel each
and not allowed to touch. Kept dry
they will keep for years.
The most economical way of gather
ing and keeping them is to turn the
hogs in and let them do the gathering.
This is the great drawback to grow
ing chufas. No economical method has
ever been found for gathering. The
work is slow and tedious and expen
sive.
We quit growing them, concludes
The Southern Cultivator, because they
cost too much to gather.

BIG INDUSTRIAL MOVEMENT.
31. P. Walsh Doing 3Iueh For the De
velopment of Augusta.
Augusta, Ga., May 28.—The indus
trial movement on here is quite marked.
There are in projection a dozen ventures
that are nearing successful issue. On
especially is a project that will attract
atteutiou the south over. Others are
more local in their nature, but signifi
cant to Augusta, in that they mean de
velopment on an extensive scale.
Tiie fact that the hand of M. P. Walsh
is seen in many of these movements is
attracting much attention to that gen
tleman. I^e recently became-promiuent
in politics in eastern Georgia, but it is
evident that his time and attention are
not to ’,*3 given to political matters.
Like his uncle, Hon. Patrick Walsh,
he is a firm believer in the south.

A Derrick For Stacking, Loading'
From Stack to Wagon, Etc.
The arrangement illustrated is in
tended for stacking liay, fodder, etc.,
out of doors and is also useful, if of
convenient size, for loading shocks of
fodder on to a wagon in the field, one
team being used to haul the derrick
from shock to shock. It can also be
used to advantage in loading hay from
A HOMEMADE HAY STACKER.
a stack on to a wagon. A telegraph
pole is best for the center pole, which
turns in any direction. It is made with
a shoulder to fit in the hole in the
cross plank at the bottom. The bottom
frame should be about one-half the
height of the entire device. It is made
principally of scantlings 4 by 4 and 2
by G, as occasion requires. Three pul
leys are necessary to operate the der
rick and the crane can he swung
around wherever wanted. Another il
lustration shows the device at work in
the bayfield and it also shows a'shift
ing of the pulleys instead of having
them as in the first illustration. This
stacker can be built on runners and
Cotton Rust.
This disease is primarily due to phys
iological causes which reduce the vital
ity of the plant so as to admit of the
active growth of various fungi. It is
largely confined to the older cotton
growing states and prevails over con
siderable portions of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi. It is usually worse ou old,
worn, sandy lands, but may appear on
any soil in which the humus has be
come exhausted. Plants on low, wet
lands and seepy hillsides are also sub
ject to the disease, while sporadic cases
may be found in almost any soil under
favorable conditions.
Experiments with this disease have
been conducted at the Alabama station
farm and also in co-operation with a
number of planters, in which the effi
cacy of improving the soil by means of
potash fertilizers has been tested with
good results. It seems that by giving
better drainage, incorporating more
vegetable matter in the soil and sup
plying abundant plant food in complete
fertilizers, especially those rich in pot
ash, the disease may be almost wholly
prevented. It is believed that by a
greater diversification, so that the
crops will be grown in rotation, the
condition of the soil will be improved
to such an extent that the disease will
be no longer troublesome.
AT WORK IX THE FIELD,
may be hauled from place to place. A
correspondent, describing this derrick
in an exchange, says one of the kind
will pay for itself several times over
in convenience in handling many
heavy articles and will last a long
time if well taken care of.
Club Root of Cabliage, Etc.
The curious malformation called club
root is seen in cabbage, turnips and al
lied plants and is caused by a parasite
of so low an organization that the sci
entists are in doubt whether to call it a
plant or an animal. If this organism is
once introduced into the soil, it is al-
niost impossible to eradicate it totally,
as it is capable of developing and of
living there for some years at least in
dependently of the cabbage or other
host plants.
The progress of the disease is so rap
id that seedling cabbages grown in in
fested soil will often be badly clubbed
before they are large enough to trans
plant. Four or five weeks is ample
time for the clubbing of evey root in a
bed.
The germs may be disseminated in
manure fi’orn feeding clubbed roots to
Bermuda Pastures.
Bermuda is one of the finest pastures
you can possibly have for your cattle.
It grows spontaneously and makes the
best of hay. Cattle eat it raveuously
and fatten on it. I think Bermuda is
not generally appreciated as a pasture
grass. It is so hardy and grows so well
on our soils that it would pay every
farmer to have a patch of it for pas
ture purposes or for hay. I have a
small lot of Bermuda on which I have
pastured a lot of hogs and cows all the
year, and they cannot keep it down. It
is a magnificent grass, says Louisiana
Farmer.

compost pile. It is also clear that club
bed roots should not be allowed to re
main to decay on the surface of the
soil.
Remedial measures include destroy
ing clubbed roots by burning or deeply
burying them or boiling before feeding
to stock. Deep plowing in autumn, ror
tation of crops and liming are other
preventions. An important measure ia
the suppression of cruciferous weeds,
such as shepherd’s purse, kale, wild
mustard, pepper grass, false flax, etc,,
Which serve as hosts for the club root
