In our orchards ls being moro fully appreciated each year, yet in some of the prim 'pal fruit districts of tho South wo lind many large or chards whore no cover crops have hoon planted. The remit ls tho soil in these orchards ls becoming more Impoverished each year by the leach ing of soluble fertilizers, by surface washing and for want of lumms. In most cases the orchards are located on tho more elevated land, which ls rolling, with sandy soil and clay subsoil. On such soil lt ls hard to prevent surface washing entirely, bul lt could be reduced to tho minimum by the propOr uso of cover crops. Not only clo those cover crops prevent surface washing, but they utilise tho soluble fertilizers which would other wise leach out of tho soil. When tho crop is turned under, it adds consid erable humus to the soil and tho fertilizers required to produce lt ho lcome available for the use of the trees. Tho plants used as cover crops arc Of two distinct types-leguminous and non-leguminous plants. Thc I legumes, such as clover, cow peas and vetch, in addition to furnishing hu mus, have the power of collecting nitrogen from the air and adding this valuable fertilizer to Hie soil for tilt uso of other plants. The non-logu ruinous plants, such as rye. nata am turnips, do not collect nitrogen fron tbi? air, but when sown In tho earlj fall consume soluble plant food dur lng their growth, which would other wiso be lost by leaching, and whlcl ls returned to the soil when tin cover crop ls plowed under in tin spring Most soils where orchards ari planted are deficient in both bunni and nitrogen, and, therefore, a legu minons cover crop should be selected If the (rees make suflicicnt growl 1 without the use of nitrogenous fori I lizers then a non-leguminous cove 'crop may be planted. I think I am safe In saying, how ever, that there are few com mercie orchards In the South that are not I need ol' both nitrogen and bunni! To accomplish our purpose of adc lng nitrogen and humus to the soi and to prevent surface washing, \v should have both a winter and sun mer cover crop. Rye followed h cowpeas will give bes! results 0 poor soil. Tho rye should be sow in the early fall In order that lt mn cover tin; ground as soon as possib and prevent surface washing. Tl rye should bo turned under not lat? than the last of March. This may 1 accomplished by double harrowli ?with the ?Use harrow and this met od is preferable to plowing, as I avoids the danger of plowing tc ?deep near the trees. A strip of lat six to ten feet wide between the vo\ of trees should be prepared and tl peas sown broadcast about the iii of May. Early In Septem bor tl pea vines should be worked into tl soil by means of a disc harrow ai the land can be seeded to rye crimson clover. After one or two crops of rye ai peas have been wOrkqd Into the so crimson clover or hairy vetch tn be sown instead of rye. Crimsi clover makes an excellent cover cr from Se plo in ber to May. As soon enough seed have ripened to rose itself, the clover should be work into the soil with a dise harrow, the clover Is allowed to occupy all the space between thc rows of trc during the months of March a April, lt will retard the growth trees to some extent, and, therefo I think It best to turn under t clover early in March. My plan to fertilize and cultivate the tn early In March, leaving a narr strip ol' clover in the middle to rest Itself. A strip two to three fi wide will produce enough seed the entire middle. After the st have ripened the clover is wo ri Into the soil with a disc harrow n the land may be smoothed and 1 seed scattered over the entire mid by means of a tooth harrow. Ila vetch ls an excellent cover crop, ? may be treated in the same way crimson clover. The seed are so in August or September and the e t worked Into the soil In tho spring If crimson clover or hairy ve tel to be planted on land where neit of these crops has grown before will be necessary to inoculate Held by securing soil from li where vetch and clover have pr* ously grown. This soil may be si I tered over the land in tho same 1 as fertilizer, Immediately after s ing tho seed, and then mixed v the soil and seed by means of a tc harrow. Wheat, oats and ba make good cover crops, but they not thrive on poor land as well rye. In no case should grain be alto to mat un? in the orchard, as lt WC rob the trees of moisture and p I food the very Hine they nee them most. When a good crop cowpeas, vetch or crimson clove added to the soil, we nre at the s; time greatly enriching the suppl; nitrogen, which is our most 0x1 sive fertilizer. Prof. C. C. Newman. S. C.

Negro (Bri Thinks thnt She was Miulo to Kat "Snake Dust." Leila Davis, a colored girl at Dur- | hain, N. OY, has been very 111 under ! the belief that she has been conjured | by her rival.

She found I out that her rlvol had conjured her. Thereupon she went for Silas liam llton, au old conjure breaker of Hal- ! olgh, a negro with forty years of experience, His diagnosis was that the girl had eaten snake dust which I her enemy must have powdered up and given her in liquid form. Dr. , Silas says that snake dust will inva riably evolve Itself into live reptiles as soon as il finds moisture in the human anatomy, and that unless one gets lt out quickly he must die. ? I le bas ii red thousands, he says, 1 and he thinks the Davis girl will re- j cover. The "snake dust" ls made by '. powdering the dried hide of the ser pent fine.
