P rof'. Newman Gives IDireeions as to
Proper Sol1, '7tti frC seciitling, Va
riotics anvi Fertilizinig.
The Spartanburg correspondent of
thbe News and Courior furnishes the
following inforiation of much valuo to
the farmers, especially in the Ple'd
mont reg Ion :
Wheat conventions, th'o odYer of prizes
and the desire on the part of farmers
to make their own flour is directing
their attention to wheat growing. Ilar
vio Jordan, of Georgia, announced that
South Carolina raised about one mil
lion bushels of wheat and Ii ported the
hlour of livo millions. laine wheat may
be raised on one-half Llbo arable land
of Soutlh Carolina. Tuoso counties
whoro it will grow should rais'e their
own Supply, leaving only three mnillion
bushels to be imported. That is drain
enough on the peoplo.
l'rof. J. S. Newman, at the head of
tio agricultural department of Clem
son College, combines theory and prac
tice in his instruction In tile College
and at farmers' institutes. lli speaks
with authority, for his informiation has
been secured by actual Work in tho
tiolds combined with such facs as
science can furnish. Knowing the Ili
torest he was taking in the condition
of the farmers and the success of the
farmers of the State, your correSpon
dent auked him to give soeic instrue
tion to the people on the subject of
sowiig wheat.
Wishing to give tho valuablo infor
ination the widost, circulation possible,
your corresunlOnnt, sends it to Tho
News and Courier that tie farmers of
every county may havo the beneit of
l'rol. Newman's suggestious :
C L;MSON COLL.. Pi-, Sept. 15, 1900.
Mr. Chas. e'tty, Spartanburg, S. C.
-Dear Sir : ltplying to your favor of
the 11th in regard to tile preparation
of the land and sowing wheat in tho
ICdmont suctioI of this State, I sub
mit the following suggestions
(1) Wheat delights in a comparia
Lively still oll, or one containing
enodgh clay to give it the proper Con
sistenCy. if this soil Is iled with small
gravel the drainage will be good. ''h is
is very important to prevent freezing
out in winter.
Tbc land sliould he ploughled, har
rowcd an(] rolled until tihe surface is
thoroighly pulverize.d before sowinL!
the seed. Not one acre in a thousand
is properly prepared for wheat. If
there is a clay sulboil it will pay to
follow in the turn plough furrow in
breaking with a long bull tongue to
break the subsoil withiout turning it up.
(b) Tine for Seeding : The sced
should be sown just bof . - or just aft.-r
the first frost. If sown ear-ly there is
risk of injury from thbe -lttack of the
Lleesian fly il the fall, and of destrue
tion by frost in spring if It joints too
early.
If sown too late the risk of wititer
killing is incretased, and ripeing late
increases the rih-k of rust, smut and
bleaching. Wheat should ripen before
excessive lical prevails.
(c) Varieties : A-i a rule varieties
which iave Ibieo acciliated i i thim
section in which they are to be IlLntLed
are more likely to stuceed than thboso
e rown unitder- enti-ely ditforent ,oil and
climatic conditions. Varieties known i
as Alabana, I0d May, Geo-gia hint,,
Blue stem or Puirple straw. The secd,
to prevent the attack of stinking smut,
should be either scalded or treated
with blue stone. (Onfu po lnd dissolved
in wate will t:reat i v bushels.) Caro
in the use of thle bluc stone is nee~sar-y
ton pr1event injury to the germn of t.hu
neced.
(di) D~epthi to over seed :Ixei
tmsntLs have shiowvn thbat wvheat, dloes not,
veett satisfactor-ily if covered mio'e
than three inches in dth.t - If tbc recd
at-c put ini withi a torn plou11gh miiany
at-e cover-ed deeper than Lbhis and coin
si riuently ai full stand is not, securied.
On the contr-ary, where the wvheat,
dr iill is used u Pen pr~operly pL ireare
land, thbe seed arec covered u n ifotrmly
at a depth less thtan tiwo i nes, and
hence less seed aire i- qpuiredl to secuire
ai staind.
(c) I'ertilizing :if a legum.iniouis
ct-up (nlitrogetn collet~Ot ) precedes the
whle-at it, is net, nec:-ssar-y to apply a
futi si-e containing nittrogen or am-~
moia l. Upjoni elay landis upon1 wivi en
the forest grow th wvas of har-d wvood
trees acid phosph ate will usual 1ly be
sullicient. If (xCetsdve tiuantities (of
nitroege nous mtanurei-s are u -Ld ther i-cts
danger oft too mnuch griow th of straw,
caubI rg tisk of z-ust, and lodging.
Caution :If eottoin seed meial is one1
of the comnpenet pat ts of a comple11to
fer-tilIi- appiled to the whe(at,, or if it,
used as such, euro must he exeieiedl
to prevent it, from comning in c(Intact

Scientific A merican.
Tihe qiostion of tiho bet site for i
naval station on the Atlantic conlts ho
t,woon Norfolic and I'onsacola is now
beintg Ilado th subject, of investigat.
tion by ai pecial comin ilission, w hose ro
port to the Socretary of tho Navy wil
probably be mado public within tht
next fow weeks. Theru is already h
existonco at Port lyal a naval statlor
which was selected and approved by
various comlisions which, after ar
examination of tho locality, protloulnc
od emnphatically in favor of tiliS site at
being the best atlaptud to muout thu ro
quirument s of thu caso. Ono of thoict
conmissions was presided over by Ad
miral Porter, who was strongly In
favor of thu, sito, and a lator coum.s
sion authorized by Congress in 1888
aid presidud over by Commodore Mc
Cann, recommended the establishuionl
att lort, Royal of a dry dock, a depot o
naval suppihijiUs, and a coaling! station.
In the spring of tho present yoar, the
Naval A ppiopriation Bil), as passt
by the House of It -prosoutatives, con
tained an appropriation of $100,000 to
ward the rebuilding of the dry dock al
this station in concreto or stone. The
bill went tO the Senate and was ro
ferred to the Committeu on Naval
All'airs. While under consideration
by this commaitteU, the Secretary of
tile Navy stibiitted a letter from Ad
miral l'hicott, Chief of the iurcau of
Yards and Dotks, in which hl strongly
uieprecated the carrying out of any
further work of improvement or exten
sion of facili tics at I'ort I toyal, and
critivisou tWi situ of the dock as being
unlsuited, for var in1us1opeciliud reatoils,
to tile purposes of a naval st(ttiol, the
specilied grounds of objuection st,rAnge
to say, being tile very grounds which
hal been quoted in all previous investi
gationis at. being favoranle for a station.
In tile courte of his letter he said ;
" During tWle yeatr the Mayor of the
city of Uharleotol btugget.Ud tibo pro
priety of transferring Llt: ilaval station
to that city from 'ort Royal, statIng
a imoiL ter Litngs the faciitLies for
transportat.ion to tile interitor, the
pioximity of at large comiorcial city,
the convenionco of obtiaining at all
times skilied labor of all classos, an
abundance of fresh water, etc., advant
ages which are lacking at, 'ort ltuyal.'
While the trtsfer would uudo ubtedly
resullt in the loss of a great deal of
money whi1ch has been expended at
Port lRtyal, Admiral i'ndicot.t canbid
ers the present is the proper tite to
consider the suggestion of thc Miyor.
[1he Admir al was eo much iiLlpreLstsCd
with the wisuom of the Mayor's sug
ge-,tion, that ho gave it hearty en
dorsenent and able advocacy through
o01 his whole letter. le recotileild
ed that tile matter be brought to th
attention of the Senate Committee on
Naval A fairs, and that a board of of.
licers he appointud to " exaiiln into
tli lo.ld itions ex ittilg at I 'ort, I oyal,
and the varions iquesttions involved in
tihe proposition to remove tihis station
to Ch1-arietoti lHarbor.
Acting upon this letr, the Navy
Coimmnit teco amnICIded 1tl bill by au
tilorizing the Secretary of tile Naval
to tuttuire into'Ihe adVisahility of llov
ing tile naval station from Port Itoyal to
Chiarieston, and if lie deemed it advis.
able to do so, eilpowering hill to ust
