the 01l is still a little drier than It was
a week ago Too dry to plant or sow or
plow. There ha* been no fr*t yet, still
the gras* I* turning brown, very brown i
Only In th# bottoms Is there any green
or succulent vegetation.
Wh r# the her mu da grass has not been
cut recently th# accumulated growth Is
not green ami Inviting to stock, but heavy
rains noon would have a tendency to re-
viv* the gras, .md even long after frost— i
perhaps n* late a* January, theie would
be considerable nutriment in It. We fre- '

age to the cattle.
Probab.y It Is a very limited sec
tion where the w#her ha* been such
a* to (M'lmii of making any grazing of
any kind from fall sowing.* of gra‘n or
clover. When Ihe pasturage afforded by
the corn and p#a field* (and cotton fields,
too) Is used up, there will b# little or no
pasturage other than the Bermuda graes
a fiords.
The turnip crop doubtkss l* about as
complete a failure In this section ns It
ever gets to be. ami it is something of a
os*, to Appreciated at half ite worth,
ih# tun,lp 1* a very valuable crop In the
South, but ther< are many w'ho do not
recognise It* value
Worse than all, however, the sweet po
tato crop U rooie of i failure than It his
been In many years. Thl* Is the case in
Middle Georgia, and It must b# th# case
In ail oth#r sections where Ilk# c<*uJitio4is
of weather hav# prevailed. It &* a real
misfortune when our royal tuber falls
*hort of a fair'’ crop, and It Is byv no
nunn- a fnlr crop this year The outcome
will hardly amount to one-third of an
average crop.
Comparing the two potatoes—our yam*
olid the white or Irish—no doubt many
f our readers who have had experience,
have observtd how great the difference
between them In respect to their de
mand* s to sol!. Thin, sandy soil that,
with 'he best culture, will not produce
thirty bushel* of first-class merchantable
Irish potatoes, can easily be made to pro
hue 150 to 200 bushels of **swe#t“ pota
toes with the aid of $2 or $3 worth of
commercial ferllliiors. Till* kind of fer
t Idler will rot enable such soil to pro
duce Irish potatf es profitably.
Not counting their great value as hu
man food, the sweet potato is as good,
if not better, for stock feeding than the
• Irish.*'
Th# Intensive grower would not b# sat
isfied with less than 2W> bushels of sweet
potatoes per acre, and it 1* not a w hard
matter fr such growers to make four
or five hundred bushel* on real good
|M>tat. soil. There ar# few crop* that
* an b# made with less labor than sweet
potatoes.
Early t nlil.nirea.
In those nectiuns where cabbages ore
grown for a spring crop—to mature In
April or May—there Is still good time for
starting the crop Well-grown, stocky
plants may be had In time to set out
l.y the middle of November. It Is rarely
the case that damaging freeses occur be
fore January In fact. In recent years
It Is the late freesra—those occurring In
February or March —that have worked
the most damage to such vegetable crops
as are grown through the winter.
Of all these crops there I* not one that
can he made more or a money crop than
cabbage. It finds a ready sale In the
si ring, especially when headed to per

Taproot* *>f Trees,
The taproot is one of the vital factors
of a tree and Is probab*y understood
least of all by growers generally. Any
one who has closely observed th* growth
of th# roots of trees, from the aged up
to full maturity, 1* aw are that there I*
a material change In all of them. Th#
first thing that start* is what the bot
anist call* n redid#. If b a little tap
root whktt starts dewuiward. Branch* *
soon begin to grow out on th sides.
With some species they grow much
larger and mor# abundantly than in
others. In th# nut trees th# t a pro# 4 is
predominant to th# *nd as anyone
knows by tiresome ex|M*rlence who has
tried to dip up un oak or walnut stump
The taproot of th# one-year seedling
apple is very much larger than all the
other root* comhtnexl. It is about all of
th# root the seedling has, and this is
what nurserymen cut Into pies* for
grafting Th- second year it I* lees prom
inent, the branches having developed
mor# In proportion than th# first year
and so on from year to year, th< lateral
root* soon developing much fi*!#r than
the taproot, until it is almost unobserv
able. it I* so with the peach, cherry and
all other kind*, but In various degrees of
prominence the p*ar maintaining the in
dividuality of the taproot more than any
other of th# ordinary fruit
Forest treew ar# much the same. Tak*
th#'* pines, for Instant#, th# litti* seed

but old pin# stump* are usually such a
mas* of lateral* that they ar# turned up
in som# section* and locked together mak
ing excellent fences. The n##d of the tap
root decreases as the tr## g#-t* older. It*

the soli, especially at first. With fruit
trees the same principle hold* true, al
though ther# are numerous variations or
degrees of depth of the taproot If the
proportions did not change w# should hav#
roots fifty or more feet deep under oil
maple trees. If the orchard tree has a
good start, it does not need much tap

A* civilization advances it is always
accompanied by closer settlement and
