Texas Experiment station, writes as
follows to Farm and Home: Il.
A disease known asroot-rot of cotton
extends over a considerable area of
Texas. THIS disease is shown some
times by only a few plants dying here
and there in a cotton field, but when
severe nearly the whole crop will be
taken. On land affected by this cotton
root-rot, apple and pear trees die, sweet
potatoes rot, and a few other plants be-
come diseased. Whether it is the same
disease that affects all these plants or
not is not yet determined. The past
year we have been studying the root-rot
in cotton, and our Investigations lead us

issued by this station, which will be sent

How to Prune the Peach.

how TO frun0 the feacn.
There are two special objects to consid-
er in pruning the peach; one is to obtain
wood only and the other for fruit and
enough wood to produce the propernum-
Der OF leaves to sustain ard mature the
fruit that season and cause plenty of
fruit buds to set for the following season.
The first OF. these objects is sought in
pruning the young tree the first and
second, and often the third seasons.
better if it consists of only single
straight, branches stem with good leaf
buds. If such a tree, cut the top to
within twelve or sixteen inches of the
ground, leaving four or better five buds
near the top to grow out for limbs. If
the young tree has branches that are
within eighteen inches of the ground it
would do to let the third or fourth bud
from the base grow on five of the
branches symmetrically arranged about
the stem, cuttingthe stem off close above

leading branch. If, however, the tree is
but one summers growth from the bud
and the branches are too far from the
ground cut the whole top off to within
eighteen inches of the ground. This
pruning ia done at time of setting out in
winter or just before the growing season
begins. No one OF the five branches
should be allowed during the summer to
outgrow the rest. Keep them all with
about the same amount of leaf surface
and the trees by fall will be well branched.
The following winter prune each branch
back to WITH II twelve to sixteen inches
OF the stem aving the lowest branches
some longe han the topmost one. AL
low but two buds to grow from each of
the FIVE branches giving preference to
those that spring from the sides OF the
branches. During the summer it will
surely pay to go over the orchard and
pinch back any that is outgrowing the
rest to keep the trees symmetrical. Tire
second winter will find each tree with ten
main branches for foundation on which
can be grown fruiting branches. :. Some
of them no doubt will have small twigs
with fruit buds on. From fourth to
half of the wood of these twigs should be
taken OF, beyond them eutthemain part
back from One-fourth to- one half and al.
low but two binds to grow into the wood.
All of these wood branches should be
summer pinched when from twelve to
fourteen inches long, that they may send
out fruiting twigs from near their bases.
1t is best during this summer to go over
the orchard second tine to pinch back
twigs that may be growing too long rom
near the end of the previously pinched
branch. If they are allowed to grow too
long, the twigs near the base will conse-
quently be too stunted in their growth.

The Enterprise of Popular Railroad
COMPANY


The Georgia Southern & Florida Rail-
road is having such great success withits
experimental farm at Cycloneta, in Geor-
gia, that it thinks of locating a similar
farm in Florida. A letter written by Mr..
j. Lane, general manager of the Georgia
Southern & Florida Railroad, to the
Florida farmers and fruit growers, gives
some grounds for belief that Florida will
have all experimental farm at no distant
day. He says: Replying to yours of
January 22d: The Georgia Southern &
Florida Railroad which. is constructed
through the fine belt of long-leaf pine be-
tween Macon and Palatka, realized from
the small farms along the line of that
road, in addition to it's being fine tim
her country, it is also well adapted to
agriculture and horticulture. But mas
much as the impression was abroad that
these lands, after being denuded of the
timber, was practically worthless, we de-
cided that we would open up a small por-
outside world that they would produce
any and everything that could be grown
in any part of the State. We hogan last
fall the clearing Of a thousand acres OF
original pine forests, with the view as
stated, and from which we anticipate the
very best results. We are now planting
To- in oil L. ind IS
etables, melons and other crops, grasses,
ETC., and have purchased some fine stock
OF sheep, cattle, hogs, horses and jacks.
We, of course, look for very satisfact DRY
results from all sources, and We hope to
demonstrate to the outside world that
the garden spot of he United States is in
Georgia and Florida. When We get this
we'll under way, we contemplate the es-
Enlistment of a similar farm somewhere
on the line of road in your State with
the same purpose in view. "-Metropolis.
All OF the railroads of Florida could az
ford to follow theexample of the Georgia
Southern & Florida. Certainly we believe
it would pay them we'll In the first place
nearly every road in the State has thous-
ands of acres of land on the market. By
showing the people the capabilities of
these lands they could more easily find
purchasers and settlers. Besides this the
future profits of the railroad business in
the State depends upon the development
of the country, and by practically dem
ontrating by the means of experimental
farms, to the prospectors what the
country and the land can do, they would
help secure settlers and add to the pres
ent and future profits of their business.
