PROF. w. II. PANCOAST.
One of Americas DISTINGUISHED Physi-
cians and Surgeons.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan 5.-Prof- William
n. Pancoast, the distinguished physician
| and surgeon, died here last night.
William H. Pancoast was born in Phila-
| delphia October. 1885. He was the son OF
DIR. Joseph Pancoast. emeritus professor
of anatomy i'm Jefferson Medical College.
| Young Pancoast graduated from the Hav-
| erford College, Pennsylvania, when he was
| eighteen years old and graduated from JEFF
ferson Medical College three years later,
in 1856. For nearly three years he was In
Europe. visiting the great hospitals In
London. Berlin, Paris. Edinburgh and
Vienna. and pursuing the study of special
courses in the direct line of surgery. While
in Paris he was a special student under the
great French surgeon, Civiale, surgeon to
both Louis Napoleon and Leopold. King of
the BelgianS. Civiale offered the young
American a position as his assistant and
Promised to provide for his future. put the
offer was not accepted. Returning TO Amer
lea he began the practice OF Surger! III ms
native city. and advanced in his profession
as few i'm the East had ever done up 10
that time. His clinics became famous and
i'm this line he became celebrated for his
investigation into the anture of the con-
nection Of the Siamese wins he was en-
abled TO hold a post-mortem on tEe Twins
i'm 1874 in North Carolina, being accom-
| nanied from Philadelphia by "a number of
we'll known physicians. His examination
disclosed the fact that the twins could
never have been separated without fatal re-
suits. unless possibly in their early infancy:
DR.. Pancoast WAS am active member OF
many medical societies and OF the inter
national medical congress, held In Phila-
delphia i'm 1876. His contributions TO med
icai literature consist mostly in papers on
special subjects and his clinical lectures
He was elected a member or the l-ovaI i1e-
gion for volunteer surgical services on the
battlefield during the civil war. he was
connected with Jefferson Medical college, IN
1s7s first as an assistant to his father, and
after the ~latter's resignation he became

Richmond, and 16x16 feet for the more
bushy Morellos.
Propagating the Varieties.-Chepry
trees are usually set two years after
budding. The trees are budded III the
nursery as yearlings, the sour cherries
mainly on the Mahaleb, and less on
the Mazzard, and the sweet varieties
almost entirely on the Mazzard. If
the grower contemplates the cherry
business on large scale, the writer
believes it of great Importance that he
select buds from trees with uniformly
heavy bearing tendencies, and send
them to nurseryman to be budded for
the future orchard. Every fruit grow
er appreciates the fact that some trees
OF his orchard always bear, others oc-
casionally bear, while still others new
er bear. 1t is universally known that
the tendencies in bud are transmitted
to the plant resulting from it's propaga-
ton. The present system of propagat-
ing fruits from bearing trees, non
bearing trees, and nursery rows must
tend to deteriorate varieties, which can
be maintained and improved only by
selecting buds from trees whose fruit
is superior to that of the entire or
chard. The subject of the maintenance
and improvement of varieties through
bud selection will be treated in a sub
sequent bulletin.
Pruning.-The pruning of the cherry
orchard should be done during the first
two or three years of it's existence,
after which only the dead and interlac-
ing branches will need to be removed.
In general, the sweet cherry should be
so formed as to give it a spreading
habit. When the sweet cherry is allow
ed to grow without paying attention to
it's form, it assumes spire-like shape,
but if the head is started 3 to 31a feet
from the ground, and the three or four
main arms are pruned in for two or
three years, the tree assumes more of
the spreading apple tree form. The
spreading form of tree has many essen
tial advantages; it facilitates the opera
ton of spraying, materially reduces
the cost of gathering the fruit, and of
greater importance, it shades the trunk
and lessons the danger to it from sun
scald and from the bursting of the
bark.

The Cherry Orchard.

Bulletin 35, of the Delaware expert
ment station treats of the cherry. In
part 1t says:
Soil.-The cherry will thrive in va
riety of soils, but it reaches its high
est development in one naturally light,
dry and loamy; in soil retentive OF
moisture, but which never "sours." The
sweet cherry will flourish on soils too
dry for other fruits. but the sour va
rieties require more moisture to devel-
Old their best cherries. The orchardist
must have recourse to undertaking
IL the soil Is not naturally dry, but on
light dry knobs, otherwise favorable
to cherry culture, the moisture content
and the notwithstanding capacity of
the soil can be increased by the adj
dition Of vegetable matter, and by jul
dicious surface cultivation. The writ
er has in mind knoll in eastern New
York, ideal for the sweet cherry, but
which was too dry and thin for the
growth of the trees. The mechanical
condition of the soil has been changed
by turning under crimson clover, and
by frequent cultivation to a deep re-
tentive loan, adapted to the highest
DEVELOPMENT of the fruit in the dryest
seasons.
Location.-It is probable that in
northern Delaware the best results
with the cherry will follow location
that retards the period of blooming, a
slope to the west or northwest, as an
exposure to the south would hasten the
~ ho hrId n
endanger the crop from the late white
frosts. The selection Of depression
or the base of hill is likely to be fol-
lowed by late frosts in these locations.
In the central and southern part of the
state. where the country is nearly lev
Ell or gently undulating, slight eleva-
ton is preferable since 1t insures good
drainage of the land, and circulation
of air. 1t should be said, however,
that the more hardy sour cherry will
thrive on lower levels than the sweet
varieties.
Distance of Trees.-In thirty years
the vigorous varieties of sweet cher
ries may attain a height of from 40
to so feet, with arms spreading on
either side from Is to 20 feet. The
varieties of sweet cherries should stand
not less than 80 feet apart each way
Closer distances result in interlacing
branches, difficult picking and spraying
and larger amount Of decayed fruit.
In western New York, the sour va
rieties are set at various distances,
ranging from 12x12 to 1Sx18 feet. Later
paintings place the trees 1Sx1S feet for

land, from which country we received
some hops of very ordinary quality, at
prices not more than half those which
were being charged for the inferior
qualities produced in other countries.
The situation is now entirely changed,
as it is not uncommon, to-day, 10 nnu
Polish hops quoted at very hlgn rates.
1t is true that considerable plantations
have existed in Russia for long pc
riod, but their product has been little
known, and has been in small demand
because the drying and curing were far
from what was desirable. During the
past twelve years or so many I'M
prOvements have been effected. Inc
Russian government, seeing the prof.
Its which would accrue to the country
by the adoption of more rational anu
more careful system, has supported the
efforts made by the planters, with the
object of obtaining a product resem-
bling the fine qualities of Germany ana
Austria. The first Warsaw hop COM
pany, whose collection Of samples is
shown in the brewery section or our
international Exhibition, were among
the earliest to take advantage OF this
encouragement given by the support OF
the government, and have rendered I'M
Dortant service to the hop culture by
engaging experts from abroad, and by
introducing on large scale the Guilt
ration Of plants obtained from b.
aemia and Bavaria. After careful ey-
animation of the samples resulting
from these replantings, We are able to
state that they now correspond very
nearly with the actual Bohemian or
Bavarian growths. The total produc-
tion of hops in the world IN 1880
amounted to 1,650,00O quintals. Rus
alas contribution to this figure was
SO 900 quintals and her export of hops
IN 1896 to the different European states
reached $1,000 quintals, being an In
crease of $500 quinta,s upon the pre-
vious year. 1t can, therefore. be I'M
derstood that Russian hops will prob
ably attain an honorable and import
ant position in the worlds market

The sorghums in Kansas


In 1893, when the first returns OF the
non-saccharine sorghums in Kansas
were made to the State Board of Agri-
culture the area planted to milo maize
was 14,004 acres, Kafir corn 46,911
acres, and Jerusalem corn 1927 acres.
In the four years since, according to
press bulletin issued by Secretary F.
D. Coburn. milo maize has fallen 25.5
per cent in acreage, and Jerusalem
corn SO per cent, while the increase
in Kafr corn has been 692 per cent,
324,838 acres. The counties in 1893
having 1000 acres or more of Kafir
corn were Neosho, leading with 1882
acres; Clark, 2,480; Comanche, 2,405;
Haskell, zoos; Ness, 1,716; Greenwood,
1927; Dickinson, 1,549; Stanton, 1921;
Gray, 1858; Morris, 1928; Meade, 1910;
Ford LII; Grant, 1,150; Lincoln, 1,099,
and Ellis, 1,044, or fifteen counties all
told. This year there are II counties
with 1000 acres and upwards, ranging
from 1,128 acres in Graham to 22,256
in Greenwood. This years area is
81 1888 acres. The leading counties are
Greenwood, with 22,256 acres; Barber,
Fl ,54S; Dickinson, II, 731: Butler, lila,
and Reno, 11,124. So popular has this
plant become that it is grown in every
county, and, except in very few, it's
acreage is of considerable importance.
If the total increase in acreage during
the past four years was equally appor-
toned there would be 1908 acres in
crease for each county in the state.
During the four years from 1894 to
1897 inclusive, the saccharine sorghum
area increased 22O,323 acres, or 166
per cent. The total this year is 352, 528
acres. The county having the largest
planting is Barber, with 1888 acres,
followed by Finney. 1873; Ottawa,
$3.50: Reno, 9,OS2; Russell, $3.50, and
Dickinson, 5000. Sorghum is grown in
every county; the great bulk of the sac
charine sorghum now raised in the
state is for forage and grain; not at all
for sugar-making, and only in small
way for syrup. While stock growers
are pretty evenly divided as to which
sorts are of greatest value for their
purposes both the sweet and the nom
sweet are rapidly gaining in popular
ity and becoming important factors in
their business.-F. D. Coburn.
Color of Flowers.-Miss Esther
Thompson, in the ASA Gray Bulletin"
disputes the dogma that color in flow
ers is solely the product of light; and
also the dogma that color is given to
flowers for the purpose of attracting in
sects, and thus aiding in cross-fertili-
cation. In defense of her view, she
points out that there is as much varia-
ton in color in roots in the darkness
of underground life, as in the flowers
exposed to the full light above. She
refers to white and yellow carrots, pur-
pie beets, red onions, the golden fibres
of the Coptis, commonly called gold
thread; and she gives numerous other
instances. In the black, upturned mud
Of a swamp, she collected among the
network of roots, ivory white, brown,
black and yellow-tinted fibres, belong
ing to various species Of plants.
