OPINIONS DIFFER.
Authorities Cannot Agree on the
Best Age at Which to Plant
Apple Trees.

The question as to whether it is bet
ter to plant one-year-old or tSo-year-
old apple trees has been at times quite
thoroughly discussed by some of the
most prominent horticulturists of the
northwest. The question has been re-
Gently taken up by the Western Fruit
Grower of st. Joseph, Mo. 1t has OBJ
tanned and published the opinions of
many prominent fruit growers, nurs-
erymen and others on the subject. but
there is nothing like an agreement of
opinion on the question. Maj. Frank
Holsinger, of Rosedale, Kan, would,
other things being equal, plant apple
trees three or four years old. \. f.
Murray, of Oregon, Mo-, says two-year-
old apple trees do better than small
one-year-olds. but well-grown one
year-olds have many advantages and
will give satisfaction in planting new
orchards. Prof. John Craig. of the Iowa
agricultural college, is not very definite
in his statement and evidently believes
that it depends upon other conditions
whether it is better to use one-year-
old or two-year-old trees. Peter
Youngers, Jr., of Geneva, Neb.. prefers
trees two years old. J. c. Evans, of
North Kansas City, Mo-. would make no
difference, as the advantages just about
offset each other. F. Wellhouss. of To-
peka, Kan, prefers two-year-old trees.
Prof. Written, of the Missouri agricul-
tural college. ordinarily prefers to
plant trees two years old. but knows
good many successful horticulturists
who prefer first-class yearlings. Silas
Wilson, of Atlantic. Ia. says that year
ling trees are all right if the land on
which they are planted is planted in
some kind of hoed crop, but if the
ground is to be sowed with oats or
wheat or planted with corn two-year-
old trees should be used. Prof. Budd
recommends yearling trees, and so does
T. T. Lyon. H. f. Van Deman likes a
one-year-old tree. w. l.. Hall, of An
thony, Kan, would plant yearling trees
vigorous growth. II. j. Bagby prefers
trees one year old, but says the finest
are those which are cut back at the end
of the first year and then allowed to
grow another year in the nursery. Civ

expressed it was for trees one year Old

FARMERS NEED THEM.
without Good Roads Life in the
Country Is Robbed of It's Most
Cherished Attractions.

Bad roads constitute the greatest
drawback to rural life. and for the lack
of good roads the farmers suffer more
than any other class. 1t is obviously I'M
necessary, therefore, to discuss the Zen
efits to be derived by them from inn
proved roads Suffice it to say, that
those localities where good roads have
been built are becoming richer, more
prosperous and more thickiy settled.
while those which do not possess these
advantages in transportation are either
at a standstill or are becoming poorer
and more sparsely settled. If these con-
Citions continue. fruitful farms may be
abandoned and rich lands go to waste
Life on farm often becomes. as a re-
suit of ''bottomless roads," isolated and
barren of social enjoyments and pleas
ures, and country people in some COM
munities suffer such great disadvan-
tages that ambition is checked, energy
weakened and industry paralyZed.
Good roads. like good streets. make
habitation along them most desirable;
they econCmize time and force in
transportasic n of products, reduce weaI
and tear on horses, harness and We
hicles. and enhance the market value
of real estate. They raise the value
of farm lands and farm products and
tend to beautify the country through
which they pass; they facilitate rural
mail delivery and are potent aid to
education, religion and sociability
Charles Sumner once said: The road
and the schoolmaster are the two most
important agents in advancing civiliza-
ton"
The difference between good and bad
roads is often equivalent to the differ
ence between profit and loss. Good
roads have a money value TO farmers
rs well as a political and social value
and. leaving ont convenience. comfort.
social and refined influences which good
roads always enhance, and looking at
them only from the almighty dollar
side. they are found TO pay handsome
dividends each year
People generally are beginning to re-
alize that road building is a public mat
ter. and that the best interests of Amer
lean agriculture and the American peo-
pie as a whole demand the construction
of good roads. and that money wisely
expended for this purpose is sure to re-
turn.-Maurioe o. Eldridge. Asst Di-
rector Office Road Inquiry.
