From Farmers Review: The De-
partment OF Horticulture has for sew
eral years been cooperating with tho
division OF forestry OF the Department
OF Agriculture to test the hardness
OF trees produced from seeds sent from
various sections OF the country. north
and south, east and west The seeds
were planted In plats having the same
SOIL and exposure and have been sub
1ected to the same conditions. On
March 7. 1898, notes were made on the
effects OF the winter upon the trees,
and some striking facts we're revealed.
AS rule no injury was to be noted
from the winter on trees grown from
seed sent from states either north or
west OF this point On the other hand,
trees from seed sent In from points
southeast OF this were very generally
injured from the cold. The injury
varied with both the species of trees
and the location. Black walnut show
ed the greatest injury of any species
and was most affected when the seed
had come from the southeastern coast
reglon-Georgia and Alabama. This
point, besides being OF scientific inter-
est in showing the decided effect of
climate on the constitutionality OF
plants. has also a practical value for
the tree planter. 1t shows that trees
from seed grown at southeastern points
must suffer more or less when subject
ed to this climate, and suggests that
young trees transplanted from the
same regions would be even more
seriously affected. Further expert
ments along the same line are ip prog
ress under direction Of the depart
ment.

fruit droWinK IN northern mtcni8hns
AT a farmers institute held recently
at Gand Traverse, Mich, A. P. Gray
gave his ideas upon Fruit Growing
In Northern Michigan" He said he
would not present his remarks as a
lawyer does. from one side only, but
would give both the advantages and
disadvantages. Said he: "One adj
vantage we have In northern Michigan
Is that we have one hour more sun
light than Ohio and Indiana. Some
OF the disadvantages are the cold ell
mate. long winters and dry soil. Loca-
ton is a great subject to be consider
ed. High ground is important for
fruit trees; the cold sinks into the
valleys. and the heat from the valleys
rises and keeps the trees from freez-
ing. The years we have had the least
rain we have had the best fruit, and
the grain those years was OF the very
best quality. 1t takes a long drouth
to affect tree. Fruit trees do not
yield much real profit under ten years
OF age. Slow growth. however. is our
salvation. for when trees mature early
they decay early. The farther north
fruit will mature. the better its quail
ity. Fruit growing Is being pushed
farther north each year. We are
gaining in this respect"
