Agricultural ] Sow Peas Now. iBi t! ' tl Progressive Farmer. i t< The cotton in our section plant 11 ed on pea stubble is looking so ; ( well?so far ahead of the other 11 cotton?that I can't resist the!" temptation to tell your readers 11 about it. Talking to a neighbor a on this subject recently, we;a agreed that we hail made a ?enous mistake in not adopting a I good system of rotation of cropsjc long ago; but we have our eyes " opened now to see the great ad-| vantage of this comparatively I new plan in our section. j11 | L. Of course where one has a large dairy, or a livery stable to ri furnish animal manure in abun ' A dance, he can make fine crop? ! ^ without much system of rotation ; j a but the ordinary farmer cannot i n attain much without it. For gene r n ?! farming in this section, a good j rotation is : (1) cotton followed P (2) by corn aud pets, followed (3) bv wheat or oats and peas aud (4) back to cotton. As I have a good deal of creek bottom land t! for corn, I vary this some on a tl large part of my farm, leaving tl out the corn and sowing to small b grain and peas two years in sue- u cession and back to cotton for f two years. This is more conven- h ient where you do not need the a corn for home use. s John McDowell. " r<. v n . r, kUrtMunuui^ v>u., 11. Kj. ' t Formula for Government Whitewash. d V a Progressive Farmer. I saw a reoipe in your paper a t few weeks ago for whitewashing \ houses, but I have misplaced it 1 and would be glad if you would i: aond me a copy of that number. 2 I want to whitewash all my ten d ant houses, lots, barns, etc., and 1 2 will appreciate any information t you can give me on this subject, t L.

The common cat lie tick 18 a familiar sight to all our people, but very lew outside of those engaged in the cattle business realize the important part it plays i ; hindering the development of the cittle iudu>try in the state The cattle tick carries the '"germ" that cuises Texas tever. a disea;e very fatal to grown cattle. Ca't e that are raised on land infested with ticks are inoculated with the germ by becoming infested with ticks immediately alter birth. At this age they suffer a very mild attack of the disease with no visible external symptoms and alter they have passed through it they are then proof against the infection .1 I. _ l . . i. I .inn can ne e> p>'-eu 'O tin.< im?'i iii lift? witnout harm. Hut it c?ttie are r;?i-5e<l on land on which there are no tick* and are after wards moved 'o tick infested lands, they will become infected with the disease. They wi'l alsci sutTer from the disease if they re. main 011 the land on which they were raised and tick-infested cattle are introduced among them. because of these facts the Fed eral Government has established a quarantine line across the conn try dividing the regions infested with ticks from those in wliicl there are no ticks. No cattle can be moved from the tick-in fested regions across this quaran tine line except when they ar< being shipped for butchering it a slaughter-house which has di reel railroad connection. Soutl Carolina is placed below thr quarantine line among the tick infested regions. Hence, catth cannot be shipped fiom this stat< to points above the quarantine line except lor immediate slaughter. Cuttle for dairy purpose*or for feeding or breeding art barred. Thus, the market f<>: the cattle produced in the stat? is considerably restricted. Some ol the stales include* within the lickinles'ed area notably Virginia, North Carolina Texas and Oklahoma, which had within their boundaries an aren in which tcks existed only on n lew larms or ranches, have sue ceeded in having such areai placed above the quarantine line, thus opening new markets f ?r the cattle raised therein This was accomplished by tin passage ol a law by the legisla ture establishing a state quaran tine dividing til? slightly infest od area from the other part of tin >tate and the < radical ion of I he ticks from the infected places in the slightly infested area.
