2 Agricultural <10 ' ^ Department Suggestions For August Farm Work. Prof W. F. Massey in Progressive Farmer. The cotton crop will row be * generally laid by. In the upper BUUllUllO W lltfl f 13 glUWU lit is thought best to lay by the crop rather earlier than in the more southern parts of the belt, as late working alter blooming is thought to teep up a growth that makes tlie crop late But iu the more southern sections, if cultivation is as shallow as it should be, there will 1)3 benefit by keeping the cultivator going till there is danger of injuring the young bolls. In passing around the country it is graiilyiug to note that our farmers are more and more abandoning the practice of laying by corn and cotton with a big furrow and thus not only injuring the roots but exposing the soil to drying out, while shal low and level cultivation would retainQ the moist u.*e where the roots need it. SOW CRIMSON CLOVER IN YOl'R COTTON. In laying by cotton there is the best chance to get a stand of crimson clover by sowing the seed while the soil is iresh from the cultivation. It this was not done it would be well to follow the sowing with a weeder that ' can be closed up like a cultivator and thus give the seed a . light cover. Yes. sow while the soil is Iresh J ? from the last working, and while rains are more frequent than in 1 September. There is every year a greal deal of complaint aboul tlie failure of crimson clover, ' mainly because of delaying the ' sowing till September when we ' are apt to have very dry weath-1 ' er. The partial shade of t he | 1 cotton will be just what the clo-, ver needs, and 1 had radier take( 1 the chance now than wait till' September. Where I now iive ' it is commonly sown among corn 1 at last working, and in many ' fields it is now up, though somej* fields have tailed because of the ( exceedingly dry weather lor a month past. But these still have the chance to sow and this \ is the great advantage of sowing rather early. SOWING T! Rl Il'S. j Of the vegetable crops, turnips will now be needing atten tion. The early flat strap-leav-1 ed sorts sown in August will be fine 'or tall use on the table, hut they get pithy so quickly that it I wanted for winte- they shoul 1 not be so a n till September. Tur nips intended to winter over lor j spring greens will always do better bv no* being sown too ' w t j early. Sow in rows and not broadcast, and when the weather gets cold, throw a inrrow each side to cover the roots. r.KTTl CIO. I'KAS. AND OTHKK VKOKT-1 ' A lil.K , The truck grow-rs will now I be sowing lettuce seed tor tliei, fall crop, The variety common- j ly grown is 'lie Big Boslon, > but I liave had very g >od resultfrom tiie California Cream Bul-j! ter lutfuce. It makes good six , ed heads and can he planted in I THE L the frames closer than the Big Boston. For the winter and early spring crop of lettuce, September is early enough for sowing. I scatter lettuce seed thiuly broadcast in the bed, as in this way I avoid he crowding that is almost in evil able when seed .are sown in rows, and 1 get stout plants that have grown singly and transplant more easily. Sow some early garden peas such as Alaska and Premium Gem in deep iurrows and cover lightly at first, working she soil to them as they grow. You can, in this way, h.?ve a fine crop of peas tor the table in the fall. Then you can still sow some rows of Early Valentine beans for table use or for keeping for winter, for the snaps picked in good condition and packed down in brine will be ready for use all winter by soaking over night in clear water. Then, too, these late vegetable crops will enable you to keep fho nanlen clean, and it the garden is kept clean all the time you will not be bothered by nut grass and will not have so many cut-worms in the spring, for the eggs from which these are hatchen are laid iu the fall on grass and weeds.

Sets of potato onions which make no seed are planted later. The last of August is early enough to set celery plants in North Carolina, and further South still laier. The selthlanching varieties of celery make handsome stalks, but are never of as cood quality as that which js blanched by earthing! up with oil, and for family use' I would never plant the sell-; blanching sorts. But celery i must not 1 e earthed ap in warm weather, and later I will tell all! >bout the final treatment of the j 'rop. OLLOWINO COWI'KAS WITH (iKA IX. It you have a field of cowpeas which you intend to follow with winter grain, do not imagine hat von can get hotter wheat by flowing the whole under. Vou will generally get less than on lie stubble and will lose the j italue of the feed the hay will1 urnish. Wheat needs a soil well compacted and fined, and where it follows peas or corn or obacco. I would never use plow i tor these crops are off, hut would make tho surface as fine as possible by going over repeatedly with the cutaway harrow AVISO VOllR COWI'KAS AND OTMKR HAY.

Ccwpens intended for seed should be allowed to get more mature. These will unavoidably lose mo9t of the leaves, but these will still be good feed alter the peas are threshed. Soy beans should be cut at the proper stage or beforo the stems get hard and the pods are inclined to ripen. Cut later, there is a great wa6te of hard stems. Crab grass that has been al lowed to grow lor liay in fertile truck soils will make excellent hay if cut as soon as the heads develop, but lett later, this grass loses value rapidly.
