Apple Trees.

1t is we'll known to pomologists that
apple trees form their fruit buds in the
early part of the growing season on wood
of the previous years growth. AS a
matter of course, in the bearing season,
these fruit buds must be grown and per-
fected while the tree is taxed to sustain
the growth of crop Of fruit. If this
crop of fruit is very large, filling every
part of the tree, there is but little chance
for the production of fruit-buds for the
next season. Sometimes, in the bearing
year, there will be section of the tree,
from some unknown cause, barren, and
that section will produces a good crop the
next year, while the portion which bore
will be barren. We have trees of this
character in our orchard. These facts
go to prove that the apple tree cannot
3 pperfect a large crop of fruit annually.
This is great misfortune. The apple is
such a wholesome luxury, such neces.
sity to good living, that it is very desira-
bic that there should be an abundant
supply every year. Is there any means
by which so desirable result can be &C.
complished?
WE know of but one way, and that is
such difficult one that we can hardly
expect it to be employed to any consid-
erable extent. 1t is to remove the bios
SONS from part of the trees on the bear
ing year, or, perhaps, it would be less
labor to cut or pick off the young fruit as
soon as formed. We think this would
be pretty certain to induce the growth of
fruit.buds for the next years crop. But
will this change be permanent, so that
the trees thus treated will continue to
bear their largest crops in the years of
scarcity? We can see but one cause that
may prevent it, and that is the following:
Every few years occurs a season when,
from some cause or other, (perhaps a
heavy frost while the trees are ir bloom,)
there is complete failure of the crop.
Then all the trees would form fruit buds
and probably bear heavy crop the suc-
ceeding year. We think this also ex-
plains why orchards planted different
years, and perhaps beginning to bear in
alternate years, after the lapse of few
years are all bearing together.-C0r.

The following affidavit reveals some of
the true inwardness of the election of j.
j.. Patterson to the Senate and the part
played by his man Friday:
JOINT INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE,
COLUMBIA, Sept. IL, 1877.
]. Fielder Meyers, Esq, being duly
sworn, deposes on oath as follows:
j. Fielder Meyers is my name, residence
in Orangeburg, S. G. was member
of the Legislature from Orangeburg
County for the sessions of 1928 and
1884.
The election of John j. Patterson to
the Office of United States Senator was
during the first of these sessions, in De-
cember, 1872. A short time before the
said election Gen. H. G. Worthington
came to me, and said that Patterson
wanted to see me, that Patterson had
some money for the boys who would vote
for him. I don't recollect positively
whether Worthington named any specific
amount or not. Worthington on several
occasions urged me to 60 and see Patter-
son.
called on Patterson at his rooms, over
where Fine used to keep, and was ushered
into Patterson's private room by Gen.
Worthington. There were several in the
room at the time; don't remember who,
except that Senator Jamison, of Orange
burg, was one. Patterson asked them to
20 out, as he desired to see me on private
business. They went out, and Patterson
and myself remained in the room.
Patterson began the conversation by
speaking of the excitement over the ap-
preaching election of United States Sen
ator, and said he had euchred Scott and
some others in some railroad transactions.
I think he mentioned the Greenville
Railroad for one, and that while they
didn't expect to be elected, they were
trying to make him spend as much money
as possible. That he was ready to spend
the money, and as the members of the
Legislature had had to spend good deal
to get here, he didn't expect them to vote
for him for nothing. He said he had
Senator Jamison, and that he thought if
he could get me he would secure the
House delegation. He then asked me if
1 WOulu VOto loi uluI, cuo sstoA0 AA1' -
had not thought over the mater yet, but
I would give him an answer before the
election. He then said that if I made up
my mind to vote for him he had FIVE hun
dred dollars for me, and to call in and
get it, and to bring the House delegation
from Orangeburg along with me if l
could. I then left him.
saw him again on the morning of the
day before the election he was in com.
pany with Worthington, I think. told
him had made up my mind not to vote
for him. He said he had the Orange
burg Senator and the balance of the
members from Orangeburg, and that l
had better come over with the rest. He
renewed the offer of FIVE hundred dollars
if I would do so. I declined the offer.
At the election l voted for R. K. Scott.
Besides the FIVE hundred dollars at the
first interview, Patterson also told me
that we, i. e., his Orangeburg supporters,
could have the control of the postofice at
Oraugeburg if he was elected.
