Mr. Wharton visited the pureau of entomology, of the nited States department >f ..griculture, and learned that the • ireau has really discovered a lemical that will destroy the •' idle it is still in the egg or mag . t f-rm, in its principal breed g i ace. »ra de manure.

Combined with the cheapness . tlv borax is the mure impoi t fact that it will not destroy the bacteria or reduce the fertil ing value of the manure. It takes very little of the chemical ■. do the work, too. Morax costs .nout •" cents a pound, while the •rude mineral costs less. The treatment of the manure by this aethod is a simple one. It is - npiy sifted around the outer ' edges of the manure with a com mon flour sifter, and then water s poured over to dissolve it and -.IT;- it through the manure. l»r. . h Howard, the government •-•ntomolngist. stat.-s that it re res abo ,t .o_' ut a pound for o "ibic t »..*t of manure, which - proximat y eight bushels, v hen the borax is sifted over lons ( att r sho .1 be h too i■ ra \> i .un, 1 f ie ggs are already hatched, the v: .tare will Kill the maggots. It « estimated that, in a treatment ike that recommended, at least per cent, of the eggs and maggots will lie destroyed. The . rincipal precaution necessary is to add more borax each time an addition is made to the manure pile. Eggs hatch within a day, but the maggots remain fori several days, so that the solution has plenty of time to doits work. This method of killing the flies will be put into use here at once, although several other precau tions against them will not be abandoned. The campaign against them will be carried on in just as strenuous manner as has been contemplated and as is now being put into effect. Greensboro , .News. KEEPING UP THE HUMUS SUPPLY IN TOBACCO SOILS: Too Much Ammonia Must Be Guarded Against, and Non -legumes Are the Chief Dependence. The prospective success of a tobacco crop depends quite as much on the condition of the soil when it is planted in tobacco, that is. how it has been cropped and handled in the interval be tween the successive tobacco crops, as on any other factor. If cropped or managed indiscrimi nately, it is almost certain soon to be ruined for tobacco. This is so because both the kind and quantity of the soil's hums supply is of great importance in tobacco culture. Kxhaustion of the hu- 1 mus means a slow, dead soil, while the requirements are for a live, responsive, quick soil on j which the newly set plants will start off quickly and make a rapid growth. The friable, mellow condition necessary to secure this, quick responsiveness is possible; only when the soil is well supplied with decaying vegetable matter. Not only should the humus sup- h ply be liberal, but it must be of the right kind or the quality of i the tobacco produced may be I very inferior. Excessive quanti-! tie? of slow-acting organic am- s moniates is ruinous to quality in tubacco. making it coarse, strong, 1 and bad color. For this reason the clovers, cowpoas and other legumes cannot be used to any great extent in the tobacco rota tion. A moderate quantity of am monia is of course necessary, or else the tobacco will be undersized and lacking in body and richness. On some of the much run down light sandy soils s :ch as prevalent in parts of the i ...sta!

It is well known that the or ganic matter of freshly cleared or broom straw fields is a kind well suited to tobacco. It con sists of dead leaves, twigs, roots, pine tags, or broom straw and roots. Such vegetable matter, while poor in ammonia, by its ample volume makes the soil very mellow ami friable and of good water-holding capacity. The weed growth that comes spontaneously on the so-called rested fields is also generally of a kind suited to tobacco. Supplying the necessary humus in this way perhaps may he con sidered satisfactory from the standpoint of the tobacco itself. In sewral other respects, how ev i; i- very unsatisfactory.

It represents an antiquated and crude style of farming from which we are trying hard to get away. Among the more satisfactory sources of vegetable matter for tobacco soils supplied by cultivat ed crops may be noted the rye fallow. Rye is in every respect satisfactory in regard to its effect on the quality of the tobacco. It is well thought of by tobacco growers throughout the entire flue district, and should be made much greater use of than it is. But it is open to one very serious objection. When used, it of necessity requires spring plowing of the land at a time when the teams are always rushed, and' THE DANBURY REPORTER YJU+C attention is re epectfully called t to an important point not generally known, that a laxative should have a tonic element to success fully meet constipation. Mr. John B. Capers, of CIO Peoaa St., Port Worth, Texas, had a sig nificant experience in tills particular. 1 lie was atilicti d with a severe case of constipation and bowel trouble. He spent a pood deal of money in trying to find a remedy. To his astonish ment. I'eruna very iulckly relieved him of his bad Mr. Capers states J that lie lias had 1 of could like water It no good. As for i salts, they were of no use. Physics of I nil kinds and classes were used, but ; we iiad to cull on the fountain syringe : for help."#l'eruna was able to cor rect this condition completely in Mr. Cullers' case, and there is every rea i son to believe that it was the tonic i qualities of Peruna. added to the iaxa ! live qualities, that procured this very desirable result * often the land will be too wet or too drv, or some other cause will too frequently prevent the proper fitting of the land early enough or well enough for the best re sults. Herdsgrass is another humus giving crop of perhaps greater value on the whole and worthy of very careful consideration as a crop for general use throughout the Old Belt section of the State, perhaps also on some of the soils of the New Belt. Aside from its value as humus-giving, soil-improving crop, suited to the tobacco rotation, herdsgrass is a very valuable hay grass. It is suited to our conditions and will •five a good yield ot splendid hay which r.ia\ be used as secondary s i irce of money ncome ■ the farm, cither directly or through livestock products. For the best results with hordsgi ~ss the seed should be sown fr the middle to the last of Aug;- - in the Old Melt and from two e >ur weeks later in the New belt Coastal Plain section. The Oder method of seeding the g.u- with wheat is not recommended. The place of gras- in the rota tion generally will be after wheat, which has in turn probably fol lowed tobacco; that is the grass ; will be seeded on wheat stubble; after the soil has been fitted dur : ing July and August by disking, j Generally the grass should be allowed to stand for at least two years, when the sod may be l turned down in the fall or winter: in preparation for tobacco the next year. This fall plowing is very important, especially in the 1 Md Melt, as it practically assures that the soil will be well fitted and early enough to c : \e the to bacco the best chance to do well. In the Xew Melt section there is a greater diversity of money crops available for u- • n the to bacco rotation. Tohi.vo does well after either cot ■ .. peanuts or sweet potatoes. .me.-, are also much less ob cv'. lonable on i the light Coastal Plain - iils. and . in many instances a le. .me could be introduced into the rotation 1 with benefit. In most cases cow peas would probably be most _ I satisfactory for this purpose, or i on the stiller soiis where it will r hold through the winter, crimson clover might be used to advan • tage. When used, these legumes t • should come in the rotation close . ly succeeding the tobacco, so that . any excess of ammonia could be ; used up by the crops intervening ; before the field comes in tobacco ; again. On some of the very > lightest, much run-down soils to . bacco might even give good re : suits if closely following a turned-1 i under leguminous crop such as : cowpeas. Peas are quite generally sown in tobacco in the New Belt sec tion, which isgood practice there. ! ■ The next year the field might be 1 put in cotton or sweet potatoes and then back in tobacco again the following year. The rotation could be extended by using pea nuts or sweet potatoes after cot ton before it again came in to bacco. I Any number of variations will suggest themselves to the thoughtful farmer, but the im portance of an adequate supply | of vegetable matter of a kind not too rich in ammonia should be kept constantly in rnird when planting the rotation. —E.
