free access. However, the hav would
cure very nicoiy in dry weather with¬
out this precaution. After the bay
has cured about five or six days, ac¬
cording to the state of the weather,
your hay will be ready for the barn.
The Unknown pea, the Clay pea and
the Black pea are probably the best
varieties. You can obtain any of those
varieties from a reliable wholesale mer¬
chant, either in Atlanta, Macon or Au¬
gusta. Mark W. Johnson of Atlanta
1 am satisfied could furnish you.
Front three pecks to one bushel and a
half of the peas should be sown to the
acre, according to the fertility of the
soil. The plan of broadcasting them in
your corn, when you lay by, is used by
many good farmers. Jf you do not get
much hay and peas, your laud will be
greatly improved, which is one of the
chief advantages to be derived by sow¬
ing your land in peas. If you wish to
enrich your soil, the Whippoorwill va¬
riety is probably the bast for this use.
Three pecks to the acre will be suffi¬
cient to plant in your corn when yon
lay by. Now, as to whether your
corn would be injured by the peas or
not, Ido not believe the injury would
be sufficient to overcome the great ben¬
efit the pea crop would be to the laud.

Forage Plant.
Question —Please toll me what, in
your opinion, would be a good forage
plant tor spring pasturing and hay.
Answek —For a good forage plant
and for spring pasturing and hay, I
would recommend the Hairy Vetch
(Vicid Villosa )
This plant is a native of Europe, but
has been grown as a forage crop in the
United States for a long time, and lies
proved very satisfactory. It is espe¬
cially adapted to the southern climate,
and is able to withstand the drouth utid
extremely hot weather. It should be
sowed either broadcast or in drills from
Sept. I to Sept. 15, and if you have
a favorable season for about six
weeks, it will tako a good start and
grow through the winter, furnishing
winter and early spring pasture. It
should be cut for fodder when tho pods
are about half matured. If proparly
cured, it makes good hay, and cau be
handled like cow peas. Tho seed is
quite expensive, costing about $4 00 per
bushel. It is also similar to the cow
poa as a soil renovator.—State Agricult¬
ural Department.
COTTON HURT BY DROUTH.
Necessary to 1J« Careful In Gathering
the Crop.
On account of the severe drouth the
groater portion of this state has been
subjected to during the past five or six
weeks, the cotton crop has boen very
badly damaged. The bolls have been
forced open prematurely, and tho lint
and seed iu tho bottom bolls have not
been perfected. It is necessary, there
j oro> tbat tbo f armer4 0 f f bo state be
very careful in gathering their crop,
not only on account of preserving the
whiteness of their cottou, in case there
should be rain, but also this bottom crop
8 j| OU j db9 picked as fast as possible, so
aR ( 0 procure these prematurely devel
oped seed in tho first- picking and use
them for feed or manorial purposes,
It is necessary to preserve the best
seed of the crop for plantiug purposes
f or another season, and, therefore, the
geed from the second picking should be
gaved for planting seed. Great care
should be taken to separate the seod
that ba «sed for manures or
feeding purposes from the seed you in
( eud to use for planting purposes, as
the crop for another season depends
U pc U the care taken in selecting the
aeed vV hich you intend to plant.
The seed from the second picking
will be more mature and have better
germinating power than the seed from
the first picking. A great many farm
trs complain of ba<l stands in the early
spring, and this is greatly caused by
the lack of cara in selecting the plant¬
ing seed.—State Agricultural Depart
