Farmers onnose Higher salaries.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
ANDERSON, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE farmers
institute in Anderson received the following
resolutions with a great demonstration and
passed them without division:
Believing in an honest and economical
administration of all public affairs, and es-
pecialy in knowing how the money is used
which we pay as taxes be it
Resolved, That township and county OFF,
GERS be required to make reports as required
by law.
Whereas, A persistent effort is being
made by some of our interested citizens to
have a bill passed by the state Legislature
to largely increase the salaries of five of
our county officers, and
Whereas, 1t is our opinion that such Off
GERS are we'll remunerated for their services
under existing laws. therefore,
Resolved, That we, farmers of Madi-
son county in institute assembled, do declare
our opposition to any bill that will increase
the salaries of county officers at this time,
and we request our representatives, Mani
fold. Morrison and Altman. and Senator
Johnson to do all in their power to defeat
such bill. -

The past winter, spring and summer
have given US an object lesson as 10 cause
and effect In the treatment of orchards
says the Fruit Journal. But If we were
to shape our course In the light of the
effects Of the last winter on the trees we
would be making a great mistake. The
last winter was so severe that the very
conditions that would have been fayora-
bic TO the orchards In ordinary years
proved the reverse the last season. For
once the best cultivated orchards suffer-
ed the most. Some believe that this was
due to the fact that the ground above
the roots of the trees being in a loose
condition, permitted the frost to go much
deeper than in orchards where there was
a firm sod. In many cases this was the
cause of the loss of trees and vines. 1t
IS well known fact that frost goes
deeper In land that Is TILED than in land
that is untitled. If we were to continue
20 have winters like the last we would
perhaps be compelled TO give up .cultivat-
ing our orchards and vineyards or confine
ourselves to a few exceptionally hardy va
rieties. But as we do not expect such win
tefs we are certainly justified in contin-
ulng 10 cultivate, knowing that cultivation
not only gives US better crops and strong
er trees, but the trees 90 taken care of
are more likely than others to survive or
binary winters. 1t has also been noted
that the older orchards in clover and
grass give the best crops this year, while
the younger orchards, even when in clo-
yer and grass, seem to have sustained
great injury. A possible explanation is
that the older trees are deeper rooted
and We're able to get down below the frost
line wherever the land was in some kind
of crop that had allowed the soil to re-
main undisturbed for a number of years.
The last winter must not be made the
standard by which to judge future posi-

southern Ralsed Tea.

We ore indebted to DR.. Charles u. Shep-
herd of South Carolina for liberal sam
ple of the tea raised by him on his cele-
brated tea farm at "Pinehurst." near Sum
merville, S. G.
We are not an expert in judging tea,
and therefore cannot say how such tea
would be classed on the Tea Exchange
of New York or London, but from a
practical point of view we find it produe-
ing a cup of tea pleasant to the taste and
in a way to the Imagination also in that
we have the assurance that it is not di-
luted nor adulterated. 1t is a pure tea,
raised and cured under the Southern sky
of South Carolina, and we should much
prefer TO pay 81 per pound for 1t than for
the questionable article bought at that
price in the ordinary grocery store Of our
Southern towns.
Report No. 81 of the United States de-
partment of agriculture Is a beautifully
illustrated pamphlet of twenty-five pages
devoted to this experiment of tea culture
in South Carolina. 1t is exceedingly in
teresting and may tempt others to make
something of an experiment in growing
tea for home use. If no more.
If we mistake not, several years ago we
saw 1t stated that lady, either in South
ern Georgia or Florida, was successfully
raising tea. Can any of our readers in
form us as to whether this is a fact or
not? 1t would seem that from the expert
ments made already that 1t is not i'm
probable that tea may be considerably
grown in the extreme South before very

The nurr Artichoke.

The agricultural department mas i'm
ported a number of fine artlchoke plants
from Europe, and viii try to introduce
them in Florida and other Southern states.
On the subject, Secretary Wilson says:
The name artichoke is commonly APP
pied in America to tuber resembling the
potato, now grown extensively in. some
localities fer stock feed and for distining
alcohol but not generally as food for hui
man beings. These are properly the Jeru-
salem artichokes, while the real arlichokes
are the unopened heads of a ,histle-llke-
plant. These are a delicious Vege' a bic priz-
ed by the rich and poor alike in Europe
and produced by millions in France and
Italy. The plant is a Perennial, and the
fine varieties are opagated by suckers
from the roots Of the Old plants, as are
pineapples, and do not come true from
seed.
In order 10 introduce the culture of this

The Mninstny of the World.

Our farmers have an idea that they
can't afford to raise grass on high priced
land. In some countries the farmers think
they cannot afford to grow anything but
grass on their best land, says Farm and
Stock. Holland Is a vast checker-board of
meadows, and whoever thinks the Dutch
don't know how to farm should take an
early opportunity to post themselves. The
best farming regions of Europe-are COW
cred with grass and kline. Our Southern
farmers found their anti-grass opinions
upon the down-trodden natural pastures
that take a COW to ten or twenty acres
Many of them are totally unacquainted
with the idea of preparing, fertilizing, top
dressing and planting grass. Grass, being
a natural product of the soil, they imagine
supplied, and that If weeds spring up and
choke 1t out, 1t cannot be helped. Then,
II they have grass, IL is plowed up and
planted In cotton or corn, which Is carted
away and sold, leaving the farmer and
the farm poorer than they were before
The best farmers, from the most ancient
times of which we have history to the
present, believed in grass, nourished 1t
and prospered, while everywhere where
grass has been a neglected feature or no
feature at all of the farming, agriculture
has nor prospered. The province of grass
IS to make food for man and power for his
plows and wagons, and 1t is at once the
best and cheapest crop that can be grown
for these purposes.

that pays better for good culture. Gays a
writer in southe-n cultlvator.
Ii has been thought that we cou'd not
keep good SEED in the South. And that if
kept, Southern grown seed were not as
good as Northern end partlcu arly East
ern seed. This is all mistake. Southern
are not only as good, but in some res
pecls, te,ter Than any other pctato seed.
This, we have proven by many years trial
But we are constantly met with the in
CURRY How can we keep our II sh pota-
toes?'
The potato grows in The ground in the
dark. It's nature, therefore, requires two
things: Keep cOcl and heep In the dark.
These two things accomplished and you
are safe. How she'll we do these? If you
have a cellar that is well ventilated you
keep them there. If you have no cellar
and your house is elevated a few feet
you can easily cut off a place so thet it
will be dark and not 100 warm
II this does not suit YOU, you can build
a small room, at any convenient spot. Or
you can keep them in hills just as sweet
potatoes are banked, only you must not
cover them so warmly.
The Irish potato is very hard to freeze
before The sap begins to ferment prepar-
atory to sproutng. After that fermenta-
ton begins, they will freeze easily
How to Prevent This.-Now light and
heat cause this fermentation. Hence we
must keep them in the dark and keep
them cool.
When you dig be careful not to bruise
them any more than you can help. Then
place them away and about two weeks af-
terWard go over them carefully and take
out every one that is beginning to decay
In all warm weather see that they are
not kept too close.
If the weather should be very severe,

and cover with anything convenient.
For convenience it Is well to have shelves
or floors about two feet above each other
and place the potatoes about one foot
deep on each floor.
The first or spring crop Is one more
difficult to keep than the second or fall
crop. Hence it is well to let these re-
main In the ground until they are thor
oughly mature
The very best seed are obtained from
the second crop. And as we can grow this
with more certainty than anywhere else,
so we can grow the very best Irish DO
tato seed.
Practical Lesson.-The lesson we should
get from these facts is this: We should
grow our own potato seed; and further
than this, we should be sellers of Irish
potatoes for planting. instead of buyers
Each year We pay out immense sums of
money for Irish potatoes to plant We
should stop this leak. We should reverse
this process and receive large sums OF
money for our superior Southern-raised
second crop seed.
We do not think of buying sweet pota-
toes for spring planting or bedding but
they are much more difficult to keep than
Irish potatoes. This is one of the CHROME
GUS practices of the past that should be
| corrected at once. Let every farmer and
trucker save his own seed potatoes.

Kiefser and other Winter Pears.

II is not unusual In the midwinter holi-
day season to see Kieffer pears wrapped
carefully in tissue paper exhibited on
stands in the cities and sold as fine new
California fruit. This imposition upon the
consumer may not be the work of repu-
table dealers. but 1t shows how a name
will often sell fruits, says S. w. Cham
bers in Farmers Review. These social
ed California pears retail at cents and
more apiece. The profit on them can well
be imagined, even though they have been
stored for months in expensive cold stor-
age ware houses. The fact that consumers
do not detect the difference between them
and the California pears speaks well for
the Kieffer as winter fruit. In fact,
I think 1t is by all odds the most salts
factory winter pear we have when raised
satisfactorily. To me there Is no other
winter pear that equals it, and it is far
juicier and finer In flavor than most Cali
fornia pears. The Bartlett and Seckel
pears, kept al great expense in cold stor-
age until late in the season, are not to
be included in this comparison, for Meth
er is a winter pear, but simply artifcially
preserved late in the season to take ad-
vantage of the high prices.
The Kieffer is quite variable in its quail
ity and ripening period, and these two I'M

should not long be tolerated In the orch-
ard. They cannot be redeemed. The best
thing to do is either 10 graft them or dig
them up to make room for better trees.
Then with fair culture, trees that will pro-
duce uniform fruit can be planted. The
next danger is that the fruit will rlpen
too early in the season. This is not a de-
slrable quality in winter pears, and many
make the mistake of their life IN shipping
these pears to market too early.
Let others send their Kleffers in Octo-
Der and November If they wish; but pre-
fer 10 send mine to the December and
January markets. There is no pear that
can be kept in cold storage on the farm

can be used for canning or for selling
around home. But the bulk Of them should
be kept until late, and then shipped TO

cy pears, and bring prices that will more
than repay one for the trouble.
The Kieffer, with good care, can be kept
In cold storage nearly all winter, and up
to a certain time It improves in flavor and
juiciness. People In the cities are just be-
ginning to appreciate winter pears; but
they have been taught to like them
through the popularity of the California
fruit and now they eat nearby winter
pears under the delusion of eating those
from the Pacific coast.
