Panicum sanguinale. There is demand
for some forage plant that is more rapid
in growth than red clover, that will be
self sowing, and that will thrive on light
er soils. 1t is, at least, worth while try
i ng the Mexican clover to ascertain
whether it will not fill this want. A
wheat field plowed directly after reaping
this plant could give crop of hay by
the time frost came Such crOwding
could not be done north of the Ohio and
the Potomac, and only on light, quick
soils CT the Gulf region.

Clipping Oranges Injurious.


Many approved methods are practiced
until found injurious. Clipping the pc
dun;les, or fruit stems cf the orange il
one of them.
Reasons :-ObservatiCn shows that
the orange tree, heavy laden with fruit,
has, in the course of twelve months
after clipping, many dead terminal
branches, from which the fruit was
clipped. Contra: Trees, bearing heavy
crops, from which the fruit was pulled,
have few dead branches Trees bearing
light crops, or none, standing next to
the heavy bearers, preserve their termi
nal branches in tact.
One of my neighbors has made the
experiment, VIZ: clipping the oranges
from one side Of the tree, and pulling
the other. Result The clipped side,
the next season, had numerous dead
branches-the very branches clipped
aud bt r. no fruit; the other half pulled,
bore good crop. Why should those
branches, clipped one side, die, and
those growing on the opposite side OF
the same tree retain vigorous growth 4?
Why should now hearing branches
live by the side of dead ones on the
same limb"
Before the clipping process was intro
duced, very few were The dead branches
OF our trees: Since, they multiply to
Encouragement. True, the healthy con-
dition of the tree, proper fertilizing and
cultivation. have much to do in prevent
ing blight; and so Of the opposite in pro-
ducing it. But the healthy condition
pres the blighted state of the ter
minal branches. yea, the stunted tree,
proves something has done it. Investi-
eating the cause, logic says, that which
is apparent is the source-an effect fol-
lowing the apparent cause.
It is a we'll known fact, that to cut all
re branches from the trunk of tree,
and keep the shoots off, is a certain
method OF destroying it. Cut the fin
gers and toes from the human limbs, at
once, and surgery is taxed to reproduce
a normal condition, yea, to save life.
Inflict one thousand to three thousand
wounds on the branches of trees, and
leave them to recuperate. Does not
physiology say, there is necessarily a
forced effort to restore the former condi.
tion? Does not experience prove that
injury follows in every instance? Fer
mentation set in: hence a poisoned
st tie Of the sap is generated. Apply the
facts to the mutilated orange tree-one
of the hardest of the semi Tropical Or
der-and little remains to force the con-
viction that clipping is irjnr;ous-se-
verely so.
Let natures law be studied Most
fruits and berries are formed on stems.
All are appropriately arranged to leave,
or fall from their stems at the proper
place, leaving as does the orange,
glntnous substance, which acts as as
paste to protect the part exposed TO at
mo,pheric action. Right preservation
of the stem is the result. Violate that
provision, and injury follows to trees as
we'll as t. other departments of physical
life.
May not clipping be one of the causes,

port of the foregoing, bring to the no.
tice Of the reader effects of the freeze Of
1886, which has been another cause OF
Maldigoma, as clippings one, both pro-
ducing the same results, though inflicted
by different agencies.
Within the last six years this des-
tructive blight has increased manifold.
There is some cause for it. While there
are various sources whence the disease
obtained it's virus, there is one most
productive of it, viz the freeze of 1886.
There stood orange trees holding from
1000 to 1000 frozen Oranges-so many
ice balls, few days. Thawing and
consequent fermentation ensued. Here
the virus began. BY the law of the cir
culation of Surprising through the stem
CT trunk and descending through the
bark and contiguous albumen-this poi
son generated in the terminal branches
and conveyed to parts near the ground,
concentrated, as in the case of ulcers
and boils in animal flesh. Here above
ground, on the body Of the tree, gum
exudes, and shows first symptoms OF the
disease-not in the root, but on the
body above, and near the ground. The
virus accommodating is spent upon the
roots by natural process. Effects of
freeze on the Guaya tree is demonstra-
ton. At first the leaves show blight,
then the twigs and ORANGES, and, gradu-
ally descending, the poisoned fluid, gen
Grated by process of fermentation, dns-
troys the whole trunk to the ground.
The process is slow but sure. Various
forest growths show the same results.
Other natural or chemical agencies may
have been at work-such as too much
water, or too little excess Of ammonia,
etc. yet similar results-fungi is the in
evitable issue.
jections-Pulling is attended by
loss i'll plugging.
Answer-As many are lost in the lip
ping by careless gatherers.
They do not keep we'll: This must
be tested before verdict is rendered.
Writer has kept them pulled, six months
in good condition, spread on wood floor.
They will not sell for as much as the
clipped. A united shipment of growers
will get as much for them pulled as
clipped-consumers will ask no ques-
tons.
How distinguish them from "drops ~
Apply the same rule to oranges as to
apples, peaches, berries, c.--judge
them by their market value.
The facts herein alluded TO are forced
on the observation Of experienced grow
ers in this section-too palpable not to
be noticed. Twenty years ago Hon.
Arth ur Gin-whOse rame is precious
souvenir to old Floridians-would not al
low an orange clipped. offered fabulous
prices for large clusters by visitors, he
replied: 81 will pick them and give
them TO you; but you cannot cut them"
Having neither heard nor read any
satisfactory explanation of the cause and
cure of Maldigoma, and little of the in"
jury OF clipping, may be spared criti-
cism of my opinion. l write this article
not to appear to "knoW it ALL" but to
bring, whatI regard facts, to the notice
of orange growers. do not offer them
an invaluable proof, but simply the re-
suit of observation and thought.
Hoping these suggestions may attract
the notice OF orange growers, and wise
and more pxDerienCod minds will favor
