THE FARMING WORLD.
SETTING PEACH TREES

An Ohio FFuit-GrOwer Tells How and
When to DO IL.
One year ago last May we set 100
peach trees. Having often heard the
advice given to set small trees instead
Of the large, frst-class ones we felt that
possibly we had made mistake when
giving the order. Wishing to save the
time of one or two years growth, if
possible, we ordered the best two-year-
old trees. They we're shipped in good
condition and were set as soon as re-
ceived. They were well set, allowing
all roots their natural position. We cut
any roots off that would otherwise be
cramped OF bent up and cut off all in
jured or mangled portions of roots.
Did not dig all the holes before begin
ming to set the trees as some do, but set
stakes for the trees and then brought
the trees out to a convenient place in
the orchard, covering the roots with
quantity of wet straw and moss with
blankets over this.
1t takes very little hot sun and still
less Of drying wind directly on plant or
tree roots to affect their growth. The
spot selected for the trees had been
plowed very deep and thoroughly fitted
before the trees came. Each hole was
dug for the particular root that was to
be planted in it. After the hole was
dug the tree was placed in position,
when man No. held it there and
tramped the fine soil about the roots
MS man No. 2 shoveled the dirt in. After
the trees were planted we cut them
back or pruned them until they had
the appearance of a whipstock, and
that about 3h feet in length.
1t seems almost waste of growth
and the wrong thing to do to prune a
nice shaped tree so severely, but our
limited experience in this line has
taught us that it is the thing to do, and
that the tree will soon more than make
up in growth for this setback" Out
of the 100 we have lost one tree.
They have made a remarkable growth
and we have not regretted setting large
trees. The above trees are now we'll
filled with fruit buds, but buds on
peach tree this time of year cannot al
ways be considered buds of promise
We did not consider it necessary to
lose the use of the ground while the
trees were getting large enough to
fruit. We set strawberries for plants
in the rows Of trees and three feet from
this row on each side just half way
between the tree rows one way we set
raspberries. Trees, berry plants and
all were mulched with stable manure
one year ago, and all expressed their
thanks for it in growth the past sum-

ported proposing that the name of the
organization be the American Maize
Propaganda, which was carried unani-
mously. The further recommendation
of the committee, regarding the prov
ince of the association were also
adopted.
They provide that the body shall be COM
posed Of national executive committee, con-
ssting OF q member from each state; state
commissions, having charge Of the corn cam
paign in their respective states, and Of district
associations to be formed where expedient in
order 10 accommodate local requirements
and to be the voice for public sentiment Allied
industries. as boards OF trade, commercial
bodies, manufacturers of corn implements,
corn foods and other products of corn, dairy
and poultry associations and live stock socie
ties are to be affiliated with the movement by
representation in the stateOrgonizations The
corporation Of official departments Of agricul-
ture, national and state, is also to be sought.
Col T. w. Harrison, of Topeka, is
the executive committeeman for Kan
san; j. r. Ripley, of Columbia, for
Missouri and r, M. Allen, of Ames,
for Nebraska The following officers
were elected President, ClarhE Carr,
Illinois; vice president, John Crownie,
Iowa; secretary, Bernard w. Snow,
Illinois; treasurer, Andrew Langdon,
New York. The first annual conven-
ton of the propaganda win be held at
Omaha, Neb., next October.
If the efforts of the American Maize
Propaganda bear fruit in proportion
to the enthusiasm manifested at the
initial convention of the organization
just held, corn flour, corn meal
and their products, corn cake, johnny
cake and corn pone will figure much
more prominently in the diet of the
civilized world than they have.

It does not pay to doctor up old neg

BILE. Apple trees are very cheap. If
some old trees are desired to be kept,
prune, during mild weather, before

frost. Prune to admit air and sunshine,
also to remove limbs that cross each
other or chafe. If the pruning knife is
used with discretion from the time the
tree is young, much better tree is Sc

scabby, or of weak growth, give good
dressing of barnyard manure, but If
the wood is vigorous, and soil fairly
