TO PROTECT THE ORANGE CROP.
GOLIAD PLANTERS ARE SETTING
OUT CAMPHOR TREES.
Not Only Act ae a Windbreak, But
Will Be Profitable Investment
for Other Purposes.
Goliad, Tex.—As the result of the
late freeze in this section, the orange
growers have been striving to discov-
er a profitable protection for their or-
chards, and several have planted cam-
phor trees cn the north of their lands.
They were shipped from Georgia, and
the- supposition is that they will not
only act as a windbreak, but will
prove a profitable investment for oth-
er purposes. Several hundred young
orange trees have been planted in this
county since the freeze last month,
proving in a substantial manner that
the industry can be made profitable,
and that the climate is adapted to the
raising of citrus fruits.
Natural Gas Explosion.
Houston, Tex.—P. W. Guane of Katy
was in Houston Monday and told of a
remarkable phenomena on his farm
half a mile from that place. Mr. Guane
states that Sunday he1 was burning off
his pasture, when suddenly as the
flames reached a swag there was an
explosion of natural gas and a column
of flame and smoke jumped upward,
while there was a roaring noise which
was to be heard for some distance.
This flame and smoke area covered a
space probably 400 yards long by 100
wide, and the gas continued to burn
for upward of half an hour, the roar-
ing noise continuing during most of
the time.
Boy's Feet Shot Off.
Omaha; Tex.—Monday, while Mrs.
T. E. Batson was attending to her du-
ties about the house, the two little
sons of T. E. Batson were playing with
an automatic gun, which was lying un-
der the bed and supposed not to be
loaded. It seems the young boy,
Hugh, was just in front of the gun,
and young T. S. Batson, about 7 years
old, was playing with the "safety" on
the gun, when it was discharged,
shooting both of little Hugh's feet
completely off at the ankle. The phy-
sicians have just taken both feet off,
and the child has recovered from the
effects of the chloroform. Hopes arts
entertained for the child's recovery.
Mrs. Batson, the mother, is prostrated.
Struck Oil.
Cameron, Tex.—Oil has been struck
on the Dink White farm on Jones Prai-
rie, Milam county, Texas. Mr. White,
Jn boring a well with a drop augur at
a depth of seventy feet got the augur
fastened and had to stop work and
make grabs to get it out. When he
secured the augur he found there was
about five feet of crude oil in the well.
Samples taken from the well show it
to be of good quality and very similar
to the Corsicana oil.
Postoffice Nearly Burned.
Beeville, Tex.-^Beeville's fine two-
story postoffice building and club
room narrowly escaped a conagratlon
Monday afternoon. An employe of the
postoffice had taken out the ashes
from a stove in the wooden box and
placed them on top of a barrel filled
with waste paper. In course of time
the coals in the ashes burned through
the .box and ignited the paper.
Bend of Mack Gossett $5,000.
Galveston, Tex.—Judge E. R. Camp-
bell in the Criminal District Court
Monday evening fixed the bond of
Mack D. Gossett at $5,000 to insure his
appearance before the grand jury to
answer to the charges brought against
him. He is charged with the murder
of his twin beys by throwing them
into the grade raising canal. He has
been in jail here for several days, hav-
ing been committed without bail by
Justice Fontaine, following an exam-
ining trial.
Beardlsey Interests Sold.
Mineral Wells, Tex.—The Beardsley
interests, consisting of an electric
light and power plant and a street
railway, besides some very "valuable
real estate in Mineral Wells, was sold
Monday to the highest bidder under
the hammer. The property was bought
in by D. T. Bomar of Fort Worth for
$75,000. The total valuation of the
property Is about $175,000.
F. Mecklenberg a Suicide.
Sealy, Tex.—F. Mecklenberg, assist-
ant cashier of the Sealy National bank,
committed suicide at his home Mon-
day morning. The officials of the
bank state that his work for the bank
has always beeji pleasant, carefully at-
tended to and that his accounts are
absolutely correct. No reason for the
act can be assigned.
Cotton Cargo Was Damaged.
Galveston, Tex.—Further details 01
the fire in the hold of the British
steamship Rowanmoore, which caught
late Monday night, and it Is started
that the fire damaged about 400 bales
of cotton.
Farmers Up With Work.
Warrenton, Tex.—Farmers are well
up with their work, but unless It rains
soon plowing will have to stop in
places, as the ground is getting too
hard. As yet no planting has been
done, and beyond plowing and fertil-
izing no gardening has been done.
Austin, Tex.—Albert Calhoun of
Howth has brought his two small sons,

I FARMER AND f
PLANTER
COVER CROPS ON COTTON LAND.
Winter Legumes, Such as Bur and
Crimson Clover and Hairy Vetch
Are Very Good.
(By A. D. McNair, Office of Farm
Management, Bureau of Plant In-
dustry, Washington, D. C.)
The need for winter cover crops in
the cotton region is most pressing.
During the long winter months the
soil of the cotton fields, especially in
the hilly regions, is washed into the
streams, leaving the hillsides gullied,
and impoverished. From the first of
October until the first of the follow-
ing April, a period of six months,
something should be grown between
the cotton rows which would prevent
this washing. Another benefit of
such a cover crop and one not usually
understood, is that the growing plant
will utilize whatever nitrates may be
in the soil. Nitrates are formed in
all soils to a greater or less extent
and when rains come these nitrates,
being very soluble, are washed otit
unless some growing crop is present
to utilize them. Another advantage
of winter cover crops is that they
furnish pasture for domestic animals.
Still another advantage is that they
furnish vegetable matters to the soil,
thus building up its fertility. This
period of time, from October 1 to
April 1, constitutes half of the whole
year and should certainly be utilized
in which to grow something of bene-
fit to the soil and to increase the
farmer's income. There are those
who object to pasturing animals in
the cotton fields in the winter, and
these objections are sometimes valid.
Farmers must be their own judges as
to what soils can be pastured and
under what conditions this can be
done. But even if no pasturing is
done, a winter cover crop should be
there just the same, for it is very
advantageous in other ways.
Some experiments have been made
with certain winter legumes as cover
crops, with a view to increasing the
fertility of the soil. , At the North
Carolina Experiment Station bur clov-
er was sowed between the rows of
cotton when the crop was laid by
and was plowed down the following
spring as a fertilizer for the cotton
crop the next year. They report that
the value of the cotton grown where
bur clover was plowed under was $18
more per acre than where no cover
crop was used. This increase of
value is so great that it ought to in-
terest every farmer In the idea of
sowing a cover crop in his cotton
field. Even if the increase had been
only half what it actually was it
would have paid a larger per cent on
the investment:
In the fall of 1907 Mr. L. M. Cook,
Grand Cane, La., sowed 20 pounds of
the seed of hairy vetch on one and
one-half acres of his cotton field. He
grazed sheep on It during the winter,
but much of it reached a height of
a foot or more in the early spring
before the land was plowed. Cotton
was planted on the same land in the
spring of 1908, and when the writer
saw it on September 11 it looked as
if the yield would be 20 per cent bet-
ter where the vetch was plowed under
than where no cover crop was used.
Best Crop For Winter Cover.
Probably the winter legumes, such
as bur clover, crimson clover and
hairy vetch, are better for use as a
winter cover, especially for the pur-
pose of improving the soil, than the
winter grains. However, the winter
grains, especially oats and barley, are
much surer than the legumes and are
equally good to hold the soil from
washing away and as winter pasture,
but so far as they will grow it is
much better for the farmer to sow
the winter legumes, for they gather
nitrogen from the air and enrich the
soil. It is an open question what win-
ter legume is the best.- In some sec-
tions crimson clover, red clover, and
the vetches may be used, but one
disadvantage of these is that in so
many instances the soil is not natur-
ally inoculated for rhem and the first
sowing of these crops is a failure.
Thfe second sowing on the same land
is usually a success, but many farm-
ers are discouraged with their first
■failure and do not pursue the matter
any further. Bur clover has the ad-
vantage that when sowed in the bur
it carries Its own inoculation and is
a success from the start. It is true
that some times it does not seem to
germinate well, but if the seed is
good and it is sowed early, say when
the cotton crop is laid by, it is rea-
sonably sure to come and is one of
the best plants in the South to enrich
the soil. It is believed by those who
have had the most experience with
bur clover and the vetches that eith-
er of them is quite as good for en-
riching the soil as cowpea.s and these
have the habit of growing in the fall,
winter and spring when the ground
is not occupied with other crops,
whereas cowpeas grow in the sum-
mer.
The Time to Plant.
So little has been done in this mat-
ter of growing winter cover crops be-
tween the rows of cotton that we are
not entirely sure when is the best
time to plant each of the various
crops that may be used. There is a
mechanical difficulty, too, in many
cotton fields by reason of the fact
that many of the branches of the cot-
ton plant reach across the row and
intermingle so that it seems quite
impossible to drive a horse through
the row to cover seed that may be
sowed in the fall months. On poor
upland soil where the growth of the
cotton stalk is very small it is quite
easy to do this and it is really these
soils that need winter legumes. To
sow the winter grains in the cotton
field at the time the crop is laid by
seems to be too early, but if not done
at that time the only other desirable
time seems to be immediately after
the first picking, for at that time the
seed could be sowed and covered with
a one-horse cultivator without knock-
ing off any of the cotton. The ad-
vantage of the bur clover in the mat-
ter of time of sowing is that it may
be sowed when the cotton is laid by
or even earlier, and it will not get
too large during the f^l. The seeds
are slow in starting ana are not like-
ly to show much before October, even
though the seed are sowed in July.
Winter Cover Crops and all Plowing.
There has been much said about
the advantage of plowing the land in
the fal,l in preparing for cotton and
corn the following year. The writer
is a believer in the advantage of fall
plowing and he is also a believer ftl
the advantage of winter cover crops
in the fall, and these ideas, in a meas-
ure, conflict. For instance, if the
land is plowed in the fall it is nearly
impossible to have a legume for a
winter crop, although it is possible
to use winter grains for that purpose.
Oats, barley, wheat, or rye can be
sowed after the fall plowing is done
and these will prevent the washing
of the soil during the winter months
and will add some humus to the soil.
The farmer must be his own judge
as to what plan to follow. It is good
to plow in the fall and to have a
cover of winter grain which can be
plowed down in the spring for the
next crop of cotton or corn. It is
also good to have a wintr cover of the
clovers or vetches, even though this
negatives the idea of fall plowign.
In some circumstances perhaps one
plan is the better, and in other cir-
cumstances the opposite plan should
be followed. Indeed, one could alter-
nate these plans, plowing in the fall
one year and having a cover of win-
ter legumes the following year. If
the fall plowing could be done in Oc-
tober there might still be time to sow
winter vetches, but the changes are
against their success when sowed so
late.
An Old Boy Says So.
How many of our boys are thinking
of the great things that they would
do if they only had a chance? Now,
boys, don't always wait for this
chance to come.
Do not dream and chafe at the com-
monplace surroundings that the farm
affords you, but strive to make your
own chance.
Do not neglect the homely duties
that are crowding about you in your
every-day life and always be waiting
for something to turn up so that you
may show that you are made of a
little better stuff than ordinary boys.
It is all in the boy and not in the
chance, and the boy with the right
kind of stuff in him will seize the
first chance that comes to him. Op-
portunity seldom knocks at a boy's
door, and when it does he should be
ready to grasp it.
Above all, do not feel above the
occupation and calling of your pa-
rents. Perhaps the old farm home
does not have the charm for you that
it should, but do not be discouraged
and think of leaving father and moth-
er, but stop and think how you can
make it better and how you can make
it more pleasant and attractive and
how you can improve your chances
of finding some profitable occupation.
Above all, do something to improve
your leisure time.
The boys who are spending their
idle time about town are doing it be-
cause they have nothing to interest
them at home. They become lone-
some and go to town to find company,
not at first to acquire bad habits, al-
though these soon follow.
Try to find some occupation at
home that will prove pleasant and
profitable before you form a desire to
spend your time in town. Take the
word of an old boy for this.—Samuel
Franklin.
Gardening and truck farming as a
business require unceasing attention
and a plenty of hard work and more
or less exposure to the vicissitudes
of the weather.
Start the incubators this month for
the early spring broilers.
No two poultry keepers have the
very same mehods of caring for their
stock. One is successful with his
flock in quite a different way of feed-
ing and care. If you are one of those
who have not been so very successful
with your own mode of care, switch
over to some one's methods which
seem to be best suited to your way
of handling yet which has proven a
success in the other fellow's hands.
In other words, is experience has
failed to lead you into proper chan-
nels, make it a point to adopt the
other fellow's methods.
The roosts for all the large breeds,
such as the American class, viz:
Rocks, Wyandottes, Reds, Brahmas,
Cochins and the like, should be made
low, and especially should this be the
case where you have board floors.
Many a valuable fowl has been se-
riously injured in the feet and legs
by flying down from high perches.
This seldom occurs in the light or
laying breeds, but with them there Is
no real virtue In having the roosts in
the top of the house, except for the
satisfaction the chicken derives in
seeing how high he can mount.
