Notes from a Southern Plantation 
For two years we had almost incessant 
rains, and the crops of all kinds were a 
failure. This year started off badly. 
There were frequent frosts and rains, and 
we had to plant our corn and cotton over 
three different times. We finally got 
good .stands; the weather has been bright 
and propitious for three weeks, and I 
never saw crops looking better than in 
this immediate neighborhood, though in 
other portions of the country they are 
still looking in a sad condition. There 
has been very little cotton planted this 
year, and what has been planted is not 
doing well. This is the first year I ever 
remember when the planters planted more 
land in food crops than they did in cot¬ 
ton. If this is kept up long enough it 
will spell prosperity for the whole South. 
But the moment that the price of cotton 
goes up our farmers will plant all cotton 
again, and run into disaster. They never 
seem to learn their lesson. 
Our first peaches ripened on May 7. 
I try to grow enough to supply the local 
market. It pays me well to do so. I 
also grow other varieties of fruit for the 
local trade. I always lose when I try to 
ship fruit and sell it at a distance.' It 
gets harder and harder every year to 
grow good fruit, and very few people have 
the patience to grow it. 
There is going to be a very large crop 
of fine pecans this year, and prices are 
going to be lower than for four years. 
There is nothing finer to eat than'these 
fine pecans, and the world is rapidly find¬ 
ing it out. 
Deer are very abundant in our Louis¬ 
iana swamps, and we have difficulty in 
keeping them from eating our corn and 
peas. We have the finest hunting grounds 
back of our place in the United States, 
and hunters from all over the country 
come here to hunt. My manager has a 
pack of fine hounds for hunting deer, and 
he is one of the best shots in the country. 
His hounds all took distemper a few days 
ago, and he saw in Tiie It. N.-Y. where 
it was good to give them eggnog, so he 
made up an eggnog and gave them all a 
big drink. They all got excited, and the 
next he heard of them they were back 
in the swamp chasing deer with a ven¬ 
geance. 
I have a beautiful flower garden in 
front of my house, where I have the 
finest strains of all the leading flowers. 
For CO years I have been passionately 
fond of trees and flowers, and this year 
has been the first time in a long period 
when I have been well enough to attend 
to them. I have perhaps the finest col¬ 
lection of trees in the South. I have 
bearing on my plantation nearly every 
known variety 1 of native American per¬ 
simmon grown from buds sent me by the 
Department of Agriculture at Washing¬ 
ton ; these are large trees in full bearing. 
I make no attempt to sell the fruit. The 
negroes love to eat them, so they are free 
to all who wish them. 
I had my first roasting ears today, 
May 21. They tasted good.

Seeding Rape in Oats 
A recent issue of Tiie It. N.-Y. referred 
to the practice in some sections of seeding 
rape in oats. While this practice is not 
very general, it is an excellent one. The 
plan does not, as a rule, fit in very well 
with the average rotation. Then there 
are other features that render this prac¬ 
tice less common than it might otherwise 
be. If the early part of the season is 
wet or the soil is quite rich, the rape 
grows so tall that it is almost impossible 
to cut the oats high enough to prevent 
having the butts of the sheaves full of the 
snappy rape leaves. Ordinarily, however, 
the rape does not make a strong growth 
till after the oats are cut. Another draw¬ 
back to sowing the rape with the oats is 
the delay caused in plowing the stubble 
ground when on e wishes to follow the 
oats with Winter wheat. The plowing 
must be put off till the rape has made 
sufficient growth to make it profitable to 
pasture, and during this time the rape 
has been pumping the moisture out of the 
ground, and unless timely rains come the 
farmer will find his rape pasture has cost 
him a lot in the way of horseflesh or 
tractor fuel. 
Many, like the writer, ha.’e found the 
most profitable time to dispose of the 
lamb crop is at weaning time. Turning 
the lambs with their mothers onto a rape 
pasture for two or three weeks just before 
selling puts them in excellent condition 
for market. Rape in the oat stubble 
makes an excellent place to turn hogs, as 
this comes at a time when other pasture 
is apt to be pretty well dried up ; besides, 
the. hogs will pick up much scattered 
grain. With the coming of the tractor 
where the.plowing may be done quickly, 
and in spite of the hard ground 1 during 
a dry season, the practice of sowing rape 
among the oats should become more gen-

Lime for Lettuce 
. I note on page 07”, in discussing grow¬ 
ing head lettuce, the writer has left out 
what I consider most essential, and that 
is a heavy application of ground lime- 
stone. I can never get good heads on 
acid soil, no matter how rich. s. j. g

One-piece 
Rings 
reduce oil 
consumption 
because they don’t permit oil to enter 
the combustion chamber where it will be 
burned up without accomplishing any - 
thing. They keep oil down in the crank 
case and on the cylinder walls where it 
belongs. And at the same time Gill Piston 
Rings hold all of the gas in the firing 
chamber. None of it escapes past them. 
None of it condenses, and works down into 
the crank case where it thins the lubricat¬ 
ing oil and makes it worse than useless. 
Gill Rings prevent that.
