Disease Infecting Tomatoea and !*ota tom— Insects Threaten Crops Every where—Hurrovrl nic Corn—Soy next ns as a Forage Crop—Do Soils Wear On#? Watching New Or chards—The Great Southern Soli Improver. The great orange crop of California for the year 1900 has about been marketed. The total output amounted to nearly 15.- 000 carloads —about 4.500,000 boxes. The value of the crop to the was about $4,600,000. In Kansas just now there is such a. de mand for farm laborers at $2 per day a great many railroad laborers are giving up their positions and seeking the wo-rk on the farm. Railroad work paid only $1.25 per day. Grasshoppers, It is reported, have ap peared In destructive numbers in portions of Tennessee and the farmers are fearful that their cotton and other crops will he destroyed by them. Some have purchased large flocks of turkeys any put them in their fields In the hope that they will keep the hoppers in check. Both tomatoes and Irish potatoes are so much infested with disease nowadays it wiil not lx worth the while attempt ing to grow* either profitably unless one prepare** to take all necessary precautions to ward off the disease In time. The potato is subject to several diseases, one of which Is the scab, that while it renders the potho unsalable, does not ex hibit any sign of its presence on the foli age as is the case when blight is the trou ble. The vines may appear normally healthy up to the last, hut when the crop •; dug it will be found that the tubers are so scabby consumers will reject them. To guard against this disease one must not plant scabby potatoes, and besides', the seed potato must be treated either with the corrosive sublimate solution (two ounces to fifteen gallons of water) on for malin (eight ounces to fifteen gallons of wo ter). Th#* potatoes are soaked in this solution two hours or longer before being cut and planted. Asa preventive of blight, the vines will have to be sprayed with the well-known Bordeaux mixture (bluestono and lime solution) spraying several times if neces sary. For blight and rot in tomatoes the treat ment is the same as for potatoes. From the way disease and insects have infested tomatoes and potatoes in the South, the past year or two, it is evident that these crops will not he grown suc cessfully in the future where there is neglect to provide In due time the neces sary remedies that have been found suit able for the puriose. This is so. and -houM be pondered by our careless farm ers and truckers and fruit growers. Tlte Sxvarm of Insect*. Apropos of insect enemies of farm and garden crops, the New York Times, In a re cent ediiorial sounds a noie of warning that it would be well to heed. It very truly remarks that “Sixty years (year ’10) ago noxious insects (and it might nave added diseases) were comparatively few in this country and it was only in certain years that there wait anything like an organized effort to destroy them. But they have been steadily spreading and in creasing until they form a gigamic evil and danger which even modern science to day stands in awe of. If science had not kept pace with the growth of the danger the farmers of the United States would not reap a crop of grains, fruits or other farm produce sufficient to keep one-tenth of our population supplied with food and clothing. The famine in India would be nothing in comparison to such a catastro phe. The chief reason for the remarkable increase in noxious insects in this country is that our birds have been ruthlessly de stroyed, croi>s have been massed in lim ited areas and forests have been destroyed and prairies cultivated. In addition to these causes, abandoned farms and or chards have been scattered over the coun try where the insects find favorable cul tural grounds and transportation lines from all parts of the world *iavo Introduc ed rev.' and dangerous insects that thrive mightily In their new homes. Scores of Insects have been introduced here from Kurope. South America, Asia and Africa and they have contributed to make the burden of the American farmer twice what it was formerly. Insect fighting has con sequently developed into a science and most elaborate preparations, costing hun dreds of thousands of dollars, have been devised for the warfare. Twenty ago little was known about poisons and sprays to control the insect foes, but to day the remedies ore sure and effective— if applied in due time. But this truth holds: The farmer or gar dener. or trucker, that falls to he pre pared to contend with these Insects ard diseases will find that the chances of suc cess are against him to such an extent that he might as well sell out and quit be fore he proceeds any further. As the Times suggests there is not a crop grown that is not subject to disease and insects sufficient to destroy them al together any one year, and R is quite pos sible for famine and pestilence to loom up In sections where nothing but security has been felt heretofore. The question of pro tection Is a very vital one, and should he considered by every one engaged In tilling the soli. Subscribers* WnfNa.

In the garden as well a in the poultry yard clay dust is a valuable material to have on hand in abundant $. We save several barrels of it about twice a year and keep it in a dry place. A shallow box of it placed in the poultry house where it will keep dry is the very best thing for the fowls’ duet bath to keep mites and lice in check. So in the garden it is fine for sprinkling on the cabbage, collards. turnips etc., to drive off many insects. Taint it with kerosene or carbolic acid. Save it when fine and dry. Harroning Jurn, Some kinds of corn will do better than others on certain soils, says F. E. Brad ley. I have been experimenting with seed corn for six years and have a va riety that I plant on thin soil that will o ttvi kl any corn I ever saw, while I plan a different variety on strong land. In .’electing seed corn, I take my wagon and drive out to the field before there is any frost. Take a basket, go through the field and pick the medium-sized and well developed ears from the best stalks. When I ge: four or five bushels I tie the ears, together with twine and hang them up where they can dry out before a freeze comes. In <h‘.s way I have never missed a good stand of corn. Corn followed by oats, and oats or some other uma!’ grain by corn, is the proper way to raise a good corn crop, unless it should be to plant on sod. Where so many make a mistake Is to plant the same field to corn three or four years in succession, and of course always plow the ground in the spring. Corn after *orn is what wears out land, fine year small grain and <hen one year corn will never wear out land, if you will feed the ♦ and and keep it up. Stubble ground Is clear of stalks and trash and can be tended much better and wdth less labor than -stalk ground. Properly fitting die ground before planting !s the most im portant par< of corn culture. The harrow is my main tool In tending small corn. First the ground should be perfectly level, so the planter will run at a uniform depth and give an even stand of corn. I keep the harrow run ning from the breaking plow’ until the eorn gets four inches high. Then I use the eagle-claw cultivator for che first and second plowings, and for the third or last plowing take off the eagle claws and put on the gangs with the four big shovels. T like them better for laying by corn, as they cover everything up. Should ground ho rolling. I prefer the little shovels, as the ground would not w’nsh so badly. There Is something in good seed corn and something In manure, but the main point in raising a corn crop is knowing how and sticking to It. The Sorghum Poison. Science has been investigating the cause of sudden fatnlity to cattle from eating sorghum, says the Farm and Ranch. No toxic property has been found that would at all account for well-known facts. In one case of recent date a cow dropped dead on swallowing one bite; another, also, swiped a small stnik and fell dead with the stalk in her throat. This stalk was submitted to chemists, and analysis showed no poisonous properties to ac count for the death. A number of sim ilar cases have occurred, where death has been too sudden to have been caused by poison of any sort. We see a sug gestion, which at least seems reasonable, that a blade, or part of a blade, by rea son of its marginal serrations, enters and obstructs the valve of the trachea and shuts off the animal's breath. If an ani mal takes Into its mouth a piece of sor ghum glade, down-end first, it cannot prevent the piece from go.lng down, and it may sometimes go the wrong way and lodgee where It ought not to. There may be something in this, and It may be worth while to Investigate this theory. • •••••*, It has been proven in actual practice that land worn out by bad cropping until it is actually good for nothing as It is, may be restored and made better than it ever was. We know eases where farmers have made money by purchasing worn out land and redeeming it. The process takes more than one year, hut it can be done within three years, while producing crops sufficient to pay the cost of the work. When we say land Is worn out, we mean that the top soil Is exhausted. The subsoil still contains many of the elements of fertility of which the sur face has been robbed. Hut this subsoil needs something to put life into it. and It needs eowpens or clover to put nitro gen into It. and it may be. hut not In all cases, that both potash and phosphoric acid are needed. The writer took a piece of clean Galveston beach sand, on which nothing grew, secured a few tons of spoiled hay. spread It on, plowed It un der. added a large amount of wood nshes and the clennings of a large poultry house and yard and the vegetables grown thereon the following year were as fine as any one should wish to see. Sometimes the process of restoration is slow, hut this is generally from lack of knowledge of the best method adapted to the par ticular case. The Krral Soil anil Forage Plant. The Farm and Ranch says; Our farm ers have for years been expei Imenting with various kind* of forage plants, such as cat-toll millet. German millet, teoslnte and oil the weeds that have of late been sent out as forage plants, while all the while they have had In the pea a plant of surpassing excellence for all the pur pose of forage, while at the same time it returns to the land more than It takes away from It. The wonder Is not that the pea Is being more extensively grown In the South, but that It has aver been neglected. But U j , „ M, STRAW MATTINGS. W> have put on sale all remnants, and will sell same at less than coat for cash only. Our regular line has .ust had M 0 rolls added to it. Awnings and Mosquito Nets Should be what you want Just now. Iron Beds and Perfection Mattresses Are a great specialty with us. Read’s Odorless Refrigerators Are what the name implies. The only one that you can get a written guarantee with. Baby Carriages and Go-Carts in a very large variety, $4.00 and up. The Puritan Blue Flame Stove, As advertised by the Standard Oil Company, is on sale at our store, and it is a dandy. Come and see it end you will buy It. will not do to assume that the pea wil. make any soil permanently feitile. It gives nitrogen-making humus, but in order to do this it needs feeding, for it l. j a greedy consumer of phosphoric acid and potash. We have for years urge! upon the farmer the fact that by feeding the pea w e can more rapidly increase the pro ductiveness of our land, than by the short sighted policy of applying fertilizers to the sale crop direct, and buying the nitro gen we could have gotten Without co>t and even at a pro it. Applying the cheaper forms cf plant food to pet we get a large increase in the for age crop that is going to stay on me farm to be fed to anima's. It is easy to see that the heavier the forage crop, the more animals can be fed. The more stock we feed,and feed well, the more ma nure we make at heme and make he used for nitrogenous fertilizers still less. Raising the richest ot forage and feeding it. we will constantly be Increasing oi.r ability to feed as the productiveness ol the toil increases. An increase in the pea crop must inva riably be followed by an increase In the crop that succeeds it. whether it be wheat, corn or cotton. Hence the feeding of the pens and the increase of the forage crop starts the increase all around, from the manure pile to the granary or store houses, and year by year it will go on in an increasing ratio simply because you feed the crop that feeds the land. There has been a notion that it is necessary to go to great de3l of trouble to cure peas into hay. Tho fact is that there is no hay more easily cured. Then when the first i**ls turn yellow, mow the peas and after they have wilted during the day, rake them into windrows before night. Turn the winlrows over the next day. The next clay, if you take a bunch of the bay and give it a hard twist and can see. to sap run to the twist, put the hay away under sh-iter. A close barn is best, but it will cure well anywhere under shelter, or even in a stack, if the stack is capped by straw or grass that will shed the rain. The wilted vines will heat after storing, rind if you go to opening them to cool them off, you will certainly make mouldy hay. but if left strictly alone, they will cure into beautiful hay. Some have failed in this curing, but hundreds have succeeded. My own horses have been feeding all win ter on bright colored pea hay made in Ibis way. and have kept in fine order. Where the, hay is very heavy it will have to be left out a little longer than where light, but get it in while the leaves are still limp or you may lose the best part of the hay. Hatching %'eiv Orchards in Summer. The first summer's life of a transplant ed tree is usually the most critical one. If a young orchard be brought through this one season safely much anxiety may ire dispensed with, writes Joseph Meehan. A great deal of attention should be given the trees until the summer is well ad vanced. If the foliage be maintained to this time the success of the transplanting may be relied on, even though the leaves be but few. Those who have watched freshly planted trees will know that no matter how few the leaves or how small they be, if they are maintained in a healthy suite until the close of summer, the trees bearing them is safe. Apples and pears with anything like a fair show are tolerably safe trees to transplant, so is the plum. But the cherry must be planted in good season. Should the buds lie pretty well out when moved the tree is not so apt to do well. A leading nur seryman once told the writer that he had more complaints from his customers be- Jause of (he loss of cherry trees than from any other fruit tree he sold. The cherry should be planted either in earl}’ fall or early spring, if the buds have made a good push toward expending they are not apt to‘do as well. A tree to do well must have its roots In very close contact with the soil. If, when planting it, it has been well rammed, the work lias been well done. Looseness of soil does not often occur when a bucket of water is poured in on planting. There is nothing like water for settling the soil about the roots. Wit ness a gang of laborers on a street laying water pipes or gas pipes, and desiring that the earth which they refill the trench with should settle at once. They flood the trench with water, which compacts the soil at once, and little or no settling oc curs afterwards. Very often when trees have not had the soil compndted about the roots at planting and no rains have done it, it will pay to inspect the trees In late spring and tramp or pound in the soil while dry, and then pour in some water. Keep In mind that water roots must have, and that close contact with soil Is what nature calls for. and what to do should suggest itself. Sometimes rites w’ill start witli but little vitality and bear but few leaves, and these near the base of the branches. It will be beneficial to those trees to prune away tsome of the tops, but do not cut oft branches of* twigs bearing leaves. It is to the few leaves borne that we look lo pull the tree through the sum mer, securing its establishments perma nently. See also to straightening up those out of line, mulching the roots lo keep the soil cool and moist, and also that a record of the sorts he made before the la liels arc lost. Of course, weeds will be kept down, that the substance will not be eaten from the soil by vegetation which Is useless. Useful csops may be grown, If food enough for all be provided. Soy tlcmiN ns n Forage Crop. The soy bean may be grown for the grain, for soiling food, for ensilage, for pas'ure and for green manuring, says I’rof. Shaw, in American Agriculturist. Its greatest value, however, will probably be found In furnishing soiling foot! for dairy cows, as it Is in the proper condition for being thus fed at that season of the year when but few plants arc available for such a use; that Is to say, during the lat ter part of the summer. The soy bean is a hot weather plant, but Is ab'.e to stand more drought thun the cowpea. When once well rooted, hot winds that would wilt and wl.her many other forma of veg etal lon will not seriously Injure ih# soy bean. In appearance It resembles a common bean, but the foliage Is larger and much more luxuriant, and the habit of growth la more upright. With all the conditions favorable this plant In some of its varie ties will grow to the hight of at least four feet, and it produces a large yield of green fod. Sotne of the early varieties, as the medium or green, can be grown success fully further north than the cow pea. The claim, however, that they will flourish a-* ar north as corn is not quite correct. And since it will stand drought better than the eowpea. it has special adaptation for some of the states west of the Mississippi and south of Minnesota, as. for instance.. Ka nsas, Nebraska. Arkansas and Oklahoma. Its province as a catch crop is more cir cumscribed than that of the cow*pea, since in many of its varieties it takes longer to mature. Nevertheless, there are many • .; s which it may be made to follow the same season, as, for instance, w’lnter rye* winter wheat, grain forage eaten 4own. or an early crop of potatoes. A warm, rich vegetable soil wdth a porous subsoil is best adapted to til growth of the soy bean. The soils of the fertile prairie, therefore, are a natural home for it. On poor, sandy soils it wi l not make a large growth unless these are first fertilized. The preparation of he soil should b such as to make a deep, fine, firm ard moist seed bed. When the soy bean is planted after a grain crop which has just matured, a free use of the harrow ind roller should bo made in a normal season to conserve moisture. When sown for the grain, for ensilage, for soiling food or for hay the seeds are put In with the gra'n drill. But they may also be planned with a corn planter or a bean planter. It ,is customary to make the rows about thirty inches apart. If the crop were grow’n for pasture the rows could be nude considerably closer under some condit ions, but not so close as to preclude cultivation, except such as may be given with the harrow. When the rows are thirty apart, from two to four pecks of seed will suffice per acre. At no time should ihe -ieed be sown earlier than the corn plant ing season, and north of the fortieth par allel of latitude, it ought to be planted la er. In the north, early varieties only should be sown, and even In the south very late varieties ought not to be us.*d. In cultivation, a harrow with the teeth aslant can be used with advantage before the beans are up, and also in some in stances at a later period. The cultivation should be prompt and generous, more es pecially when the plants are young. For making hay, the soy bean should be cut when the beans in the pod are fully half grown, or before the lower leaves begin to fall freely.and the aim should be to han dle it but little during the curing process, lest many of the leaves should be lost. When mixed w’irh corn in the silo ity of the ensilage is thereby considerably improved. Do Noils Wear Oat? It is common to hear men say in all harts of the country that a certain soil is "worn out,’’ says the Practical Farmer But is this really ever the case with a good loam soli that was originally fertile nd which has a strong subsoil? We do not believe in the wearing out of soils that had in them originally conditions fa vorable to fertility. The really worn out soils are those that had in the first place a small store of plant food, and having a leachy subsoil of sand, are soon ex hausted. But the strong* clayey loam all over the country, while they may become unproductive through bod management, are never really worn out. All over the South we have evidence of this fact. Lot an old exhausted fled lie out a little while and the broom sedge starts to grow on it, and among the sedge the young pines start and send their long tnp roo*s down into the unused subsoil, and year after year bring up to the surface the matter they get below', and spread them to de cay on the surface, and after years of this recuperation, with no help from the fer tilizer mixer, the land has renewed itself# some one comes along and clears the pines and finds a fresh and fertile soil for him to go to work in the old way and deplete, or for him to use in a ra tional way and increasing its product Ive ness. Why cannot our farmers get a hint from what nature does so easily? of c ourse we cannot take the time which na ture takes to do these things, but canr.o we do the same thing in a more rapid manner by deep subooiiing and allowing the deep-rooted legumes a chance to do for us in a little while what it takes the pines a lifetime to do. We fully believe that it is possible to fully restore the productivity of any soil originally good by good culture and the use of legumes in a judicious way.without the use of on ounce of commercial fertil izer. We say It is possible to do so, hut tile demands of modern agriculture forbid that we should use so slow n practice. True farm economy calls for the judicious use of every menns in our power which can be economically applied. Not that the reck less use of fertilizer simply for the pur pose of growing big crops is advisable, for H Is not the biggest crops that are n|- ways the test of the farmer's skill, but the crops that are grotvn at the largest profit over expenses. Knowing as we do that we can secure by good farming all the nitrogen we need for any ordinary farm crop, the man who buys nitrogen on a grain farm is simply behind the times and Is wasting his money. The Important thing to know Is where the mineral fer tilizer which we should buy for the rapid development of our land, should be ap plied to produce the greatest profit to the farm and farmer alike. The dribbling of a hundred or [wo pounds of fertilizer mere ly to get a little more crop to sell at once from the land is not a judicious use of the fertilizer, but ta really more extrava* gant than a more liberal application m the right place. In no part of a farm ro. tatlon con fertilizer or manure be used to better advantage than on the crops that are feeding the aoli. You have cut your clover. Then see to It that the stubb'e gets a dressing of some kind, either from the barnyard or in the shape of commer cial fertilizer, for when you feed the clover you are feeding all future crops Now Is the time to help the clover and through the clover to get not only more feed but more fertility for the succeeding Ocean SteamsniD Gd. -FOR- WewYork,Boston —AND— THE EAST.
