Some weeks ago we referred 10 the

somewhat, are not injured seriously.
Also for the first time in our experience
the arlichoke has been affected with this

only name TO apply to 1t so far as we
know.
We We're amazed to find this fail that
| fully 80 per cent. of the artichoke plants
in our small plat were dead and not a tu-
Der found on any of the plants. The
plants were well grown, having attained
hight of four to six feet before there
was any sign Of the disease. The disease
spread so rapidly it was only a few weeks
before every affected plant was black from
top TO bottom. The few plants that es-
capped the disease produced the usual crop
of tubers. Affected plants fully as large
as these showed no sign Of tubers forming

different from artichoke rot, kindred dis
ease TO potato rot, and is almost Identical
with potato blight" There is this d.f-
ference, however the potato plant does
form tubers to a considerable extent after
the blight has attacked the vines.
Enough of our economic plants are al

our Southern farms still there was good
evidence that It would be more extens vely

that covers the hands with Wilderness in

favored hot water into the bucket Of bran
and oats, cover over and let soak aud

the hens while still warm. Do this once

VIII doubtless result in much good 10 all
participants.
Cassava is a product that has been
known and talked of Ia Florida for neary
a quarter Of a century, but IL has never
been given fair trial. Eighteen or
twenty years ago Gov. Sinciaire Of Or
laudO est a blished cassava starch factory
at little station on the Chem South Flor
ida Railroad. Opera lions were Continued
but a short time. The people of that SEC
ton were too busy making orange groves
to grow eassava or anything else.
The next step in this direction was the
establishment Of the factory al Stetson,
near DeLand. Orange growers in the Vi
entity of the factory, being guaranteed IS
per ton for the roots, planted several nun
dred acres. The season was "a bad one,
seed was difficult 10 get, and as q result
the growers were discouraged and failed
to plant the following season. Messrs.
Mcbride and Stetson. however, planted sew
eral hundred acres, and as the crop prom
ises well. The yield will be larger than
last year. The success Of these gentle
men may encourage the growers to plant
again next season.
A factory IS being erected at Lake Helen,
and a considerable acreage is under Gull
tivation there The owners of the Stet-
son factory have purchased a large tract
of land near Spring Garden, and will plant
several hundred acres this winter and
build another factory. We also hear of
other factories projected In other sections
of the state.
We think there is no general crop that
promises so well as cassava. By general
crop we mean a crop that can be grown
in every section of he state, and that
can be used not only as a money bring
err" when sold to the starch factories, but
also for home use as stock feed We are
pleased to note the interest that Is being
revived in its cultivation.

ran Planting of orchard Trees.

1t used TO be the sule TO plant all trees
in the spring, and to those not much in
the way of tree planting it is still believed
to be the best time; but those actually
engaged in the business know that early
fall is an excellent time for the purpose
says Joseph Meehan in the Practical
Farmer. Not only does It appear to be
the best time for the trees, but there is
TO be considered that early fall is a pc
Rod of much more leisure to the farmer
than is spring. There win always be many
who will continue to plant in spring
Winter is a dreaTy time to many, and
when spring comes garden work comes
uppermost in their thoughts, and tree
planting follows with other garden work.
But thinking of the run of orchard trees,
early fall is better for the trees than
spring. Most every one that has had expe-
rlence knows that spring planted fruit
trees rarely make much growth the first
season. The reason is because the heat
of spring and summer comes on to them
before they have a good roothold. In many
cases the trial is 50 severe that the trees
die In summer after having shot out fair
ly in spring. Early fall planting usually
results in the reverse of this. What Is
meant by early fall is about a month or
so before the natural fall of the leaf With
us IN this part OF pennsylvania TINS Tune
is about the close of September and not
later than the first week in October. Trees
planted at an early time like this must
have their leaves taken off, stripped off
if they will come, cut off If they are
too persistent to strip. Apples, pears
plums and cherries are certainly the bet
ter planted at this time. but I think in
my own case l would let the peaches be
till spring, for the reason that winter
seems to damage newly set peach trees
But the other trees mentioned should be
planted. Usually at the time mentioned
the soil is quite dry and warm. This is
no hindrance whatever; rather an advan-
| tage, as will be seen.
The soil being dry can be broken UP
| finely and gotten In well around the roots
This soil should be tramped or pounded in
! around the roots until compacted as close
| ly as possible Then when the hole IL
| nearly full pour in enough water to well
saturate the soil. When this has beer
| soaked away the hole should be filed VI
| level. Trees planted this way find theil
| roots in soil warm and moist, and almost
! at once commence to make new roots
! They are firmly established before winter
| comes, and when spring returns they make
| a nice growth, almost the equal of trees
never moved and very much better thar
| those set In spring.
