Tharp# sad Sons near Har mony, in Iredell county. Mr. Stall aad County Agent R. W. Graeher iara a soil improvement demonstra tion on this farm. Lost fall they laid out end limed tear plota of land which were planted to rye. This sp.<ng the rye was mowed from two plots sail turned under an the two alternate plot# “Mr. Tharps then planted the waolo Held to corn," says Mr. Blair. "During the summer, the earn stalk borer visited the field In large num ber*.. Where the lye had basn re moved the poet did deadly werk. Over ’naif of the stalks were either dwaxftcd or injured to each an ex tant that they fell down—but where the rye was turned under, adding humus to the soil, the core was ap parently uninjured. It was a most c-.riktng demonstration to see the ten raws of healthy standing com with the' tan rows to either ride nearly ; named. The damage by the borers went Just to far as the rye was cut Io* and removed and no farther." . Mr. Blair caa give no reason foi this remarkable occerente. He thinks : possibly that the borers attacked all of the corn but that whsre the rye was turned cider the corn was vig orous enough to outgrow the lnjoiy. Such things, he says, have happened before. At any rate, the results cl aiding this humus to the land In the ‘ form of rye plowed under is shown : in th* final yields. Mr. Tharpo se cured an average of 27 1-2 bushels per acre where the rye waa turned under end just thirteen bushels per were where it was removed. "The whole thing is just one more ! argument added to the many that we I already have in faver of liming ou Und« and then supplying our soils with as much vegetable matter as j possible," says Mr. Blair. The first shipment of Siberian but ter to be received in this country in several years recently arrived at the port of New York.
