1ARR1CULTUR&
Necesslay for Drainage.
If thero wns eve: n year when the
advantages of good dralnago wen
'Manifest it Is this year, oEpcclnlly In
tho territory bordering on tho Great
Lakes, where rains havo been very
-opIouB during tho past two months
tu tho vicinity of Chicago many of
tho mar t gnrdens nro this year
tnndo unprofitable by reason of lack
if drainage. Most plantB cannot grow
with their rooto Immersed In water
Tho plants that aro cultivated for
food nro nt a standstill in growth
whllo the water stands nt tho level of
tho ground. Not Mil tho water has
settled in tho soil to some distance
below them Is It possible for them toM
resumo their normal condition of
growth. Around Chicago, on tho level
lands devoted to truck growing, the
wntcr has been standing for a month
past. The vast fields of gn den vege
tables seen on them nro to a large ex
tent spoiled. An Immense amount of
work nnd mnnuro Las been expended
on t'.ie fields, but no returns nre pos
sible. Yet proper dralnago would
make the rains a blessing. lncil
should bo so well drained that water
will not stand at all, but will leave
the soil In a usablo condition a fe
hours after even the heaviest rains.
When lands aro not drained not only
do tho plants stop growing whllo the
toll Is water logged, but the fields
cannot be tilled for days afterward.
Tho soil remains soft and eoggy so
long that no crop can bo properly
tended. The land needs attention,
especially nfter the surface has been
packed by heavy rains. If tho land
Is In a condition to pass the surplus
water Into underground drains the
surfaco can be cultivated In n com
paratively short time after the rains
have fallen. We have no doubt that
tho water-covered fields near Chicago
represent tho condition of thousands
of planted fields in the states border
ing the lakes.
It seems strange tha. after so long
campaign In favor of draining there
should exist such large areas still un
drained, especially arcr.3 that aro de
voted to tho growing of expensive and
profitable crops. The writer lus yeai
after year noticed the fields on one
farm where water works l.voc.
Sometimes tho fields of this farm nre
planted In corn and sometimes In po
tatoes, but during every year there
aro seasons when the crops stand in
tho water for weeks nt n time. The
natural inference is that even when
tho water drains from the Hirfacc It
remains so near the surface that little
can be oxpectcd in the way of crops.
And little is realized in the way of
crops. Tho wonder is that any man
should continue tO( plant on such
land. Dralnago helps in both rainy
and dry weather, but Is especially nec
essary In rainy weather.
Hill or Level Culture.
Under perfect conditions of soil as
relates to dralnago lcvol cuture is
best. But thero is so little land v.hero
tho conditions of drainage are perfect
that some hilling Is necessary. So
our forefathers were not far wrong
when they hilled up everything. In
their day dralnago of any kind was
unusual excopt such as was given by
surfaco ditches. When the corn was
hilled up a natural drain was left by
tho removal of the dirt. This condi
tion helped matters every time there
was a freshet. The man that has a
heavy soil that has no artificial drain
age must hill or ridge up to save his
crop in the case of n heavy fall of
water. Even though the land be high
or rolling n heavy soil needs somo
treatment of th's kind. Clayey hill
sides hold water to such an extent
that crops arc often lost from too
much water. The usual Inference Is
that tho drainage Is good because
thero is n slope. This is n mistake,
as heavy clay holds water for a very
lorjg period unless thero he means for
drawing it nwny from beneath. In
case of heavy clay on a hillside being
underlaid with rravel or sand we havo
u condition that may be counted as an
exception. Whtre the land is sandy
of course level culture may bo fol
lowed, unless there are obstructions
to tho draining away of the water.
Some Wheat Tests.
At the Pennsylvania station some
tests with wheat gave results that
were summarized as follows:
1. The yield of grain from tho dif
ferent varieties of wheat varied great
ly. 2. The bearded varieties gave the
largest yield of grain and of straw,
and the grain per measured bushel
was heavier than that produced by
the beardless or smooth varieties.
3. In general, the Emooth chaff va
rieties were Injured more by tho Hes
sian fly than the bearded chaff varie
ties. A. Late sown wheat was injured loss
by tho Hessian fly than that sown
early.
5. Tho difference in tho yield of the
varieties may bo accounted for In part
by the difference In the severity of at
tack by the Heslnn fly.
Water In Wood.
Green wood contains fully 45 per
cent of water, and thorough season
ing usually expels but 3C per cent of
this fluid.
Anything you get for nothing usu
ally is not worth that much.
Clay soil to do Its best must bo
thoroughly pulverized.

An Asparagus Pest
A bulletin of tho Gcnev.W,tat!on
says: In 1SDG many nspara;fw plants
were found to contain, Jii3t below tho
surface of tho ground tho llttlo llnx-
sceiMllco bodies which form one stage
In the life history of some of the files,
like the Hessian fly. Adults have now
been raised from these "flaxseeds"
aud found to bo small, inutalllc-hlack
files about one-sixth of nn Inch In
length. They arc found to bo qtilto
common on the flowers and branch
lets of tho asparagus, especially on
plants that havo been eaten Into by
the asparagus beetle. The maggots,
or larvae, of these Hies aro about one
fifth of an Inch in length, somewhat
flattened nnd of a transparent-white
color. They aro found In mines in the
asparagus stems, just beneath tho epl- "
dermis, the mines usually beginning
near tho surface of the ground and ex
tending diagonally downward about
tho stem below ground for a distance
of three or four inches. On seedling
beds and newly set beds, tho mining
of theso maggots has caused some In
Jury, especially during 1900; but no
serious trouble has been observed on
cutting beds, though they ate prob
ably numerous enough to cause some
weakening of the plants. The seed
lings turned yellow and died much
earlier than thoy would naturally do. T
The maggots changed to puparla tho
"flaxseed" stage In the fall and
show on tho infested stems a3 small,
oblong, dark-brown, raised spots be
neath the epidermis of tho stalks near
tho base. Though the insect is not
yet a serious pest, it will be well to
adopt somo repressive measures should
It appear upon a bed. The eggs of
the first brood are probably deposited
early In Juno, so no smull shoots
should be allowed to grow on tho cut
ting beds to receive those eggs. Pull- .
lng the old stalks in the fall and
burning them when dry will destroy
many of the puparin.
Harvesting Potatoes.
Tho time for harvesting pot 003 is
indicated by tho dylnj of tho vines.
The ripening process in tho tubers
goes on up to thl. time, and It Is
therefore not wise to attempt to har
vest beforo that time. If dug whllo
immature tho quality will not bo so
good as it will be If tho tubers are
left In tho ground till mature. On
the 'ther hand, If left too leug In tho
ground decay is likely to set In. Wo A
have known potatoes lctt In the fields
too long till ho ground frozo too
hard to permit of digging. This is
not likely to occur, but has occurred
some yeara when winter came very
early. Tho man with a small patch
ol potatoes will dig his by hand but
the man that has a largo quantity to
bo harvested cannot afford to do it In
the old-fa:hioned way. He must de
pend on somo of tho first-class pota
to diggers that aro on tho market.
Plowing out tho tubers 1b practiced by
some farmors, but thU la hardly a de
sirable method, as by It a great many f
potatoes aro Injured. It is better to
invest in a tool mado expressly for
the work.
American Packing Dad.
The Stato Department has published
tho following report from Richard
Wcstacott, nctlng consul general nt
London: "I have recently received a
communication from W. E. Boyes, of
Leicester, chairman of tho conference
of tho National Federation of Fruit
erers, at Cardiff, May 12 and 13, 1902, m
transmitting a copy of a resolution
adopted by tho federation, which
reads: 'This federation wishes to call
your attention to tho unsatisfactory
way In which American apples aro
packed, and asks if it 1b not possiblu
for you to adopt the samo system ni
Canada, nnd havo all tho apples graded
nnd stamped with tho government
stamp. By eo doing, you will largely
Increase tho demand for best quality,
p.ud, consequently, tho price of Ameri
can fruit.' Canadian apples are now
graded and stamped with tho govern
ment stamp, nnd for all barrels sent
out without tho stamp tho sender is lia-
ble to a flno of $1 for each barrel."
A Government Date Orchard.
A dispatch from Phoenix, Arizona,
to tho Chicago Packer says: Tho gov
ernment Is going into the business of
dato culturo on a largo scale. At the
experimental station near hero has
just been planted tho Inrgcst dato or
chard In America, and perhaps In the
world. Flvo ncres havo boon planted

The Department of Agrl

the dato palm will ultimately solve
tho problem of what to do with tho
arid and alkali lands of Arizona and
other parts of tho Wost. Experiments
