The DeKalb New Era makes the
following appeal to our solicitor:
“A void toSolicitor Kimsey: Let’*
dispose of Flanagan this time, Oolo
noi. He is a public nuisance. He
cumbers the earth, He is eostl.v,
dangerous and filthy, His con fin¬
ued presence is a bad thing for peace.
He ought, to he hung. But if you or
the jury shall conclude, that lie is
crazy or tit at for any other reason ho
nutsn’.t i >c bung, then lot’s lie rid of
him anyhow—send him somewhere,
not to the penitentiary then send
him to the asylum; hut send him
somewhere. The pooplv of DeKalb
want him gone,—and the quicker the
better. Try 1dm and try him first of
all.”
Bev. Dr. Talmnge gives tho follow¬
ing sensible reason wliv skepticism
exists among newspaper men :
* One of the greatest, trials among
the newspaper profosion is 'lint its
members are compelled to see more
of the world limn In any other pro¬
fession. Through all the newspaper
offices passe* day after day all tho
wickedness of tho world, all church
bickering, all vanities that want to
bo repaired, want to be credited;-and
ail t!i“ dull speaker* that want to he
eloquent, all tho meanness that want*
to get its name noticed grat is hi the
nows columns, in order t<rsave tho
tax of the advertising column; all
the men who want to lie set right;
*11 tho crack-brained philosopher*
with ntori*8 as long as their hair and
as gloomy as their faces. Through
the editorial and ivportorinl rooms
all I lie follies and shams of tho World
are seen day after day and the temp¬
tation is to believe in neither God,
plan ifhr woman. It is no surprise to
me that in this profession ther* are
*0 many skeptics. 1 only wonder that
Journalists believe any thing."

Sugar cane, soon after the discovery
of America, was first planted on the
island of San Domingo and from thence
it has been grown over the tropical and
semi-tropical parts of North and South
America.
It may not be generally known that
the striped or ribbon cane, which is
aow grown in Somb Georgia, was in
1825 intr duced from Savannah, Ga.,
into Louisiana. That state is now fa¬
mous for its molasses and sugar indus
ries and is is indebted to Georgia for
this fine variety of sugar cane. *
Many varieties have been tried in
Louisiana, but none have as yet, rays
Dr. Stubbs, provea worthy of supplant¬
ing the purple and striped varieties.
The purple seems to be the hardiest and
beat suited for northern latitudes.
In tropical countries the sugar cane
produces seed, but are not reliable,
rarely bearing, any resemblance to their
parents. _____
The conditions under which cane does
best, is where the mean average tem¬
perature is between 63 and 90 degrees
spring and tummor, plenty of rain and
a moderate, dry, cool fall.
SOILS ADAPTED TO CANS
Are those naturally rich and fertile.
However, upon soils of very moderate
fertility, with good preparation and
well fertilised, remunerative crops can
be grown.
Oiimate, rainfall and manures are
more important factors than soils in
cane culture. In sandy soils without
manures the cane is mall; calcarious
soils develop a suporior cano. rich in
saccharine matter. In rich a’luvial
soils, not properly drained, the canes
are poor in sugar produce, a largq quan¬
tity of syrup, but not a firstclass article.
Shall we plant the entire cane or that
portiou which, is the least fitted for
makii#; sugar?
Dr. W. O. Stnbbs of Louisiana, after
discussing this question at length, con¬
cludes up the whole matter as follows:
“It can therefore bo positively as¬
serted that, the upper third of ofir canes
can be profitably used for planting our
crop and send the lower two thirds of
our entire crop to the sugar bpusA thus
increasing largely our sugar yieMe and
diminishing oar heavy outlay annually
fdrseed."
PREPARATION OF THE LAND.
, , All sqils should bs well prepared and
properly fertilised and perfectly drained.
It is best to break or flash the land,
then bed into row* five td six feei wide,
open the bed and in thU furrow place
the cane.
PLANTING CAXR ■t
la planting the sugar cane, otjie con¬
tinuous stalk should be deposited in an
Open furrow and well covered- In the
fall this covering shc.uid, be several
inches thick. Remove the extra soil in
early spring, to secure early germina¬
tion.
FERTILISATION AND CULTIVATION.
The cultivation best for corn laud is
generally good for sugar cane. Thor¬
ough and deep preparation of tho soil,
cultivate rapidly and as shadow as the
soil will permit and “lay. by” when
oanes shade the ground. The feruliz
ers for cane should contain enough nitro¬
genous matter to insure a large growth
by Sept. 1. Phosphoric acid if very
beneficial to cane.
Potash may be demanded upon light
sandy soils.
Experiments hare shown that the
limits of profit in the use of fertilizers
ara between 24 and 48 pound# of nitro¬
gen and 40 to 80 pounds of phosphoric
acid, obtained from cotton seed meal
an4 acid phosphate 300 ponnds of cot¬
ton seed meal, 300 pounds of acid phos¬
phate. Under
favorable conditions, the above
formula used on our best cane lands in
South Georgia, w® should obtain from
20 to 30 tons of cane per acre.—State

me a borers in
corn? They bore into it whea quite
young, jnst above the grains, *cd the
stalk after it gets tip a foot hi looks
like a load of shot had passed rough
the blades.
Answer —From the description of
the trouble given In the above question,
it is quite impossible to say just what;
borer is referred to, since there are
not less than a dozen insects that have
the habit of boring into the com plant. ;
It is voty probable, however, that the
'•Southeastern Oora-root Worm*’ is the !
culprit doing the damage in this case.
This worm is about half inch in length,
elender and whitish. It is tbe larva of
a small, oVal bodied beetle with 12
black spots on its greenish yellow wing
covers.
These beetle* feed on cucumbers,
squashes, melons and a variety of other
vegetables. There are two broods of
this insect in one season and it winters
