take pleasure In giving my experience
to young farmers and nyothers OF your
numerous readers.
In the spring of 1876, having an ex-
tensiye and superior selection OF choice
fruit trees, v~arionsly mixed, l con-
cluded the trees being widely set apart
and planted in virgin soil to experl,
ment In raising oats. As the ground
needed cultivation, | thought the oats
would be beneficial instead OF injurious.
Sowed them in March, and gave the
matter but little attention until June
lst, when, TO my surprise and dlssatls-
faction. | observed the trees We're very
caly, bark dry and in places scorched-
caused, as | thought then and know
now. BY the reflection of heat or rays Of
the sun. The straw was fast maturing,
and capable Of reflection. But my
neighbors frequently persisted III caus-
ing me to believe otherwise, but OF no
avail. | afterward confirmed my be-
lief. Becoming dissatisfied at the turn
things we're taking, | had the oats har-
vested. But it was no improvement,
for the stubbs seemed as forcible IN re-
turning heat as did their better half.
Finding there was no chance OF saving
them except by hard work and diligent
nursing, | resolved to adopt the two
latter methods, thereby saving more
than half Of my trees.
Young Farmer will observe by the
foregoing that the oats paid dear for
themselves, and were worthless. If he
should still feel inclined to raise a crop
in his orchard, | would suggest the
raising of corn or potatoes, or other
crops with green foliage. N. A. Stier,

TINES IN NORTH CAROLINA.

Guilford county, in which [ live, is

Greensboro, the metropolis of this
county, is a beautiful city, and contains
some of the most elegant residences in

tobacco and fine fruits are the principal
products OF Guilford and adjacent coun-
ties.
There are about LOO convicts be-
longing to the States penitentiary,

This indicates some improvement. at
