The flay or of the nuts from the trees throughout this county aro ex cellent. though It's to be regratrod the tffees are seedHngs. Were they budded and grafted stock the auu would he consider able, larger, bring ing a much htgher price per pound. To a great extant nuta are being eaten in place of meats and win bring as much per pouad; some times more. Statistics gathered by out state horticulturist. Prof. W. M. Hutt. proree that "??r the past decade the Importation of nuta haa Increased about 91.00+ every year. Though there Is not a single Imported nut as good as bur Beaufort county pe can. Mr. H. G. Carter of Fairfield has magnificent trees which produce ex cellent crops- There are several trees throughout the state which give to tnelr owner an annual In come of $100 per tree. In planting a pecan orchard 16 trees are set to each acre, using the buded and grafted, strgk they bear in from a to 7 years or about the same time it takes an apple tree to produce a paying crop. At 10 years old grafted pecan trees prop erly cartfd for ahould produce $10.00 warUt^of. avjts..j>er >t*fia^ Increasing their yields each year thereafter for"' 100 years or more. During the time these pecan trees ( are coming into bearing and up to, 15 yearn of age. cotton and othei crops can be grown among the trees, therefore very little use of the land I is lost. In gathering truck corps days! count profit. Prices are up today: and down tomorrow. The crop! ia ripe today and ruined tomorrow. Several days rain at the time the crops should be gathered causes an almost total loss. How different with the pecan, It can rain, hail. blow. One can con ttider it too hot to go Into the field, and the planter can remain in the house, sleep and read and even put off from today until tomorrow or so, long as weather conditions or per-: eonsl feelings are not fsvorable. He can go at his leisure to his orchard gather his nuta. put them in barrels and either ship them the dsy gather ed or the next, or wait until next month. In other words, lta a conven ient crop, one might aay "a gestle man's crop." If any one who reads this wishes to go Into the paean Industry don't make the error of "going It blind." planting seedling trees nor many va rieties of the buded and grafted stock. Get none but the beat A little sddltionsl cost at the first will make thousanda of dollars for you In the end. For instance It takes a seedling tree from 12 to 20 yesra to bear and the prlce of the seedling nuts Is from 10 to 15 cents per pound, while the buded and grafted trees bears In from 5 to.? years and the price of the nuta are from 20 to 60 cents per pound. When your orchard of 16 trees to the aere produces 500 pounds of nuts to each tree, you can eaaily figure what you would lose each year by going Into the industry blind.

KNAPP, AGENT IN CHARGE OF THE DEPARTMENT ADDRESSES A COMVNICATION TO AGENTS, DEMONSTRATORS AND CO-OPERATORS. The farmer who does not try to get all he can out of hlland annu ally and yet leave It In Condition to yield more the following season has mistaken his vocation. One way to do this la to plant cowpeas In the com at the time of the last cultivation; harvest the corn In September and pasture th^ cow* peas In October. Early In November deep break and plant to rye. using about one buahel per acrd. Our rea sons for preferring rye are the fol lowing: 1. R la hardy. R will germinate and make a stand when other grains fsll. Oats and barely will winter when rye will remain practically un injured by the froet. It stands tramp lng snd gracing better than other grains. 2 It takes kindly to poor soils, which Is an Important factor on most lands. Where hairy vetch will succeed, the addition of a peck of retch seed 'to a bushel of rye Is an Improve ment. Where there Is no boll weevil In festation, rye or rye and vetch may be planted between the rows of cot ton In OOctober, and not later than the first of November. It Is better to use a narrow drill In planting, but where farmers elo not hare this the seed may be sown by hand and cultivated or harrowed In. Crimson Clover. On lands adapted to It. crimson clover sown in the corn at the last working has given excellent results. KBIiWW trtiirmli'Tu tute Scfti-ft 'III'll-' ?rally used and by the first of the following April It furnishes a rutting of 1 1-2 to 2 1-2 tons of cured hay or turned under, adds a great body of manure to the soil. The territory in which the crimson clover thrives best appears to be from the latitude of the northern portion of hte Gulf' States to the lat!tudc of the Ohio j river. Oats or barley do well some win-1 ters. When they succeed they furn-J ish a large amount of winter graz- ? lng and considerable humus for1 plowing under in the spring. 1. A winter cover crop largely pre vents loss of soli fertility by wash ing (erosion); some lands suffer greater loss than others by washing, but all lands are more or less injur ed by It. 2. Soils without cover lose consid erable fertility by evaporation dur ing the fall and winter. a winter cover crop reduces this loss to a neglibible quantity. 3. Such crops, to somo extent, prevent the seeding of the land to foul weeds. 4. They increase thc porosity of tfie soil, and add the humus so es sential to fertility. 6. They make a valuable crop while the lands would otherwise be idle* which Is a net gain to the land. We must Increase the vegetable mat ter in the soil to anamount suffi cient to enable the soil to retain a much larger propoprtlon of the rain fall than at present and to greatly Increase the mechanical conditions of the soil. ?. A very important consideration In winter cover crop is the large amount of grazing that can be secur ed from It at a time when it is es pecially valuable for young stock, and Its value is not limited altogeth er to the mere supply of food. It adds tohe health and vigor of the! Etock. On an average of from 2 to 2 1-2 months of graslng can be se curcd at a nominal cost of a little labor In preparing and seeding the( land. 8. A. KNAPP.
