Hence, we believe that 12 cent cotton is not at all improbable. —Georgia Agricultural Department. •' . im — tyi ; QseiUsai Answered. Is there any newly objection to layd? planting peach trees on cleared Aus. Ia my opinion nowly cleared laud should never be planted in peach tree* if other good pencil land is availa¬ ble. Land should bo cultivated at least two years after cleariug before planting it in orchard. The reason: Now laud cannot be prop* crly prepared for the reception of trees on account of the roots of the forest trees. Thorough preparation of the ground before planting is oue of thu essential factors in fruit growing. Deep preparations before plantingaud. snaitow cultivation afterwards is the rule. Furthermore, trees planted on new land are subject to the attacks of Ter¬ mites or “wood-lice,” as they are oom* monly known to the fruit grower. Those insects breed in great numbers in de¬ caying roots of forest trees and when fruit trees arc planted in now laud they fall an easy prey to these “wood-lice, " which attack the roots aud the base of the tree. The remedy for “wood-lice” is tobacco dust. The dirt should bo re¬ moved from the base of tho tree aud a band full of tobacco dust applied aud the dirt thrown back. MestvCrop In llic Peach Orchard. What are the best crops that can be g rowu j u a pencil orchard without mate* ™l i«.. J to th« trees? A n» Oottou, eiuitelonpe., sweet toos aud peas. It is not desirable to plan I corn or any ^rain crop in an orchard. Oottoe U. vetbep,. by t„ tho be.t orep to grow in an orchard. It practically insures a good cultivation for the trees almost throughout the season, just what , they need. No good farmer will fail to cult nu to Jits his cotton cotton clop, cron but but ho lie inav mat neglect his trees, When peas arc planted in an orchard they should bo planted in drills aud cultivated’ so that the trees will suffer for cultivation. Never sow peas broadcast in an orchard and thus pre vent cultivation. These crops may be profitably grown with the trees only for the first two or three years. No crop should be grown in u " orchard after the third year.— Georgia Department of Entomology.
