plants break ground they seem to come 
through in good condition. 
Millet grows very fast after germina¬ 
tion, and as a result from seeding made 
the last of July the plants will just 
begin to head by the last of Sep¬ 
tember in this latitude. At this time 
there is a very thick stand of plants, 
often reaching 4 ft. in height, and rarely 
less than ft. The stand approaches that 
of rye in its denseness, but. at the above 
stage it. is more succulent. With lands 
not subject to wash, this crop is turned 
under ill the Fall, after the vines have 
dropped their leaves. Under hilly con¬ 
ditions it is plowed under in the Spring. 
A crop of millet of the above growth will 
give a xontiuuous cover of straw of con¬ 
siderable thickness when left over Winter. 
It is excellent to hold the fallen leaves. 
The seeding in this section is usually 
made during the last week of July, and 
just after rain. We have used it. at the 
rate of 15 quarts per acre, though pos¬ 
sibly a little less might be used.

Chicory as a Coffee Substitute 
Can you tell me bow chicory is. pre¬ 
pared for coffee use? What is the best 
way to get the besl results? Which root 
is the best to use, and where can they be 
bought? v. L. 
Ramsey, N. V, 
The chicory root is first dried, then 
roasted, just like the coffee bean. Coffee 
roasting is a specialized trade, and it is 
possible that experience would be re¬ 
quired to get best results. After roasting 
the root is ground or pulverized. In Eu¬ 
rope, where chicory is very largely used, 
coffee roasters purchase the dried from 
the middleman, roasting and preparing as 
they do coffee, While it is probable that 
some of the peasants grow and prepare 
their own chicory, this is not the common 
practice. Chicory is very easily grown 
from seed, and most seedsmen can sup¬ 
ply it. The plant has escaped from gar¬ 
dens and become a roadside weed in many 
parts of the East.
