THE alluvial soils of Louisiana uare the cac'u- quality mulation here of ages of the erosion of the for the lands far up in the West and to the Rocky in the o Mountains, and the lands th'ere. Here we have to buy : learnedl that our hunlds, although of extr.aord(i nary fertility in the beginning, will g a iua'lY lose a part of that fertility and to get 1 h hspt H results the tillers of the soil must conservc as h best they can what natural fertility the soil now theiy e possesses and supplement that with as such ar- rations tificial fertilization as shall re;tore any lost fer- orange tility. Nebraska is one of the typical states in clagnse the great plain that lies between the Alleghany class it Mountains and the Rockies, known as the Mis- cpartn: sissippi Valley. The Missourri River separates colgniz the state from Iowa, lying on its east side, and bulleti the state has various water courses leading into try, in the Missouri. From the erosion of the lands of nre of Nebraska and of such lands as these our own mang country here has been built up and we prize oraeng" highly the alluvial soil thus brought to us dur- the trn ing the age past. orang That the soil is excellent is demonstrated by rcenw the fact that Nebraska has about eight million and J; acres of it in corn and produces nearly two It is hundred million bushels of that cereal, or four ltnds, times as much as Louisiana. Illinois is the ban- lands, ner state in corn production, Iowa comling next, aon th with Missouri, Indiana and Nebraska following oi th in the order given. They are all states of this tmie great plain and the erosion of their soils has given us the wonderful country that we now to. 1' possess. he w A complaint now comes from Nebraska that on he the soil of that state is losing its great fertility bill a and the inquiry has arisen as to why this loss is linge occurring? Nebraska is a comparatively new as state and its soils have been in cultivation woul scarcely sufficiently long to have become im- of A poverished, and yet complaints are now making in that direction, which has led tio) an inveestiga tion of the matter by the University of Nebras ka." Under the auspices of this University, I Prof: F. J. Mway has made a study of the mgt- the i ter from the Nebraska point of 'view. ait pub- ;ati lished it in bulletin No. 111 of the State Agri- reat cultural Experiment Station,. It is found that and tihe soils of Nebraska give an analysis from cam which they would be rated very fertile and like- mu< ly to long maintain their capacity if kept in shol good physical condition and if supplied with by 1 , nitrogen and organic matter. These two items. to or elements, in the soil fertility seem to be the am: ones that are becoming exhausted. Nhebraska ; is exposed to severe winds and it is thought cal S that the organic matter in the top soil may be sev , lost largely by being blown away and the nitro- It i . gen of the soil will be exhausted by repeated do S cropping without growing thereon any lagumin- wi S ous crops, wi The loss of fertility of the lands does not is seem to be one of diminished phosphoric acid, mi " potash, or lime, but it is caused by the. loss of on . nitrogen and humus in the older fields, this loss fa, being directly due to the washing or blowing mi S away of the surface soil. Prof. Alway urges bu upon the farmers of that state that in order to th prevent erosion by water and by wind, the dt burning of stalks and straw should be avoided sc and all barnyard manure should be returned to fi the land. These precautions being taken, then hi the cultivated fields should be rotated with 01 leguminous plants, such as clover or alfalfa, it with which culture he believes that the soils of c; Nebraska, now depreciating, will be restored to n their original fertility. Our experience here f w? ith the soils that we have borrowed in a large part from Nebraska would lead us to the same conclusions. . On the other hand, we have such aggressive ·i ~n t life in the way of cotton boll weevils. e. .an borers and other forms, that we are led to bern off our lands to defend ourselves against these destructive insects. Somewhere between the two methods doubtless lies our proper line Sof action. SThe Lafayette Truck Growers' Asso ciation. S THE Acadians of Lafayette parish are not to be outdone in the matter of intensive agricul . ture by' the Italians and others of the river par ishes, or by the red necked natives and yankees of the Tahgipahoa country, or even by the web footed tillers of the soil in the parish of Plaque TInines. They have organized the Lafayette Truck Growers' Association and are determined . to learn what they can do in their parish to the - best advantage and to offer their produce of . such quality, in such packages and in such quan tities as buyers may desire it and to thus brifg buyers right into their own market. The par ulah of Iberia has already set the pace and its truck growing organization is already at work. The French people are the best gardeners in S the world. The laws of France for the division .of.property have resulted in cutting the whole :.--ntry up into one vast series of gardens. 4 i~.: r'hese small holdings have led necessarily to a tical imm hi-rýh degree of cultivation in order to recure an danger. I adOequa e supjp)ot for those interested and the more. the natural tendency of such culture is also to pro- Franklin's ,iuce compctitive results.

The U. S. De- from lid plartmentment of Agriculture has been taking , cognizance of this fact lately and has issued a p Ld bulletin, No. 46, of the Bureau of Plant Indus to try, in which the reasons are given for the fail pf ure of this orange to give satisfaction in very The mr n many instances. It is said that the satsuma gcovered !e orange is worthless unless grafted or budded on Mr. Jc ir- the trifoliate orange stock. Sour orange or sweet Mr.at his h orange have been generally used as stocks by Mr. M b growers of citrus fruits in the South, but during was the recent years the hardy trifoliate orange of China the wee no and Japan has come into prominence as a stock.
