The Soil Problem in Nebraska.

The annual report of the Nebraska
Experiment Station says: Without
doubt the greatest problem in Nebras-
ka agriculture is to determine the prop
er methods of soil tillage. The condi-
tions affecting plant growth in the
Trans-Missouri region are totally diff
ferent from any heretofore encounter
ed by the Agriculturist in any portion
of this country. With an annual rain
fall of % inches and loss by evapora-
tioh from plane water surface of SO
inches IN the course of year, it is not
difficult to see that the end and aim of
soil tillage in this region must be to
conserve, In SO far as possible, mois-
ture in the soil. Not only are the cli-
matte conditions very different from
those found elsewhere, but the soil of
this state is generally quite different in
its physical structure, from that COW
ering other portions of the country east
of the Missouri river. The result Is
that the Nebraska farmer must work
out an entirely new practice in the
treatment of his soil.
Bogus Seed charlottesville World
Seed Co., of Boston Mass, has made a
target of itself for the division of seed
investigation of the agriculture de-
partment. This company has been en-
deavoring to defraud farmers by send
ing out packages bearing the captivat-
ing legend Beauties Flower Garden, +"
ETC., and purporting to contain mix
ture of three hundred varieties of
choice flower seeds which would pro-
duce perpetual blooming flower gar
den. All this was offered for five
cents. In addition to this farmers
were solicited to sell packages of these
seeds on commission and under various
arrangements. The seed division made
an examination of the seeds contained
in a package and found them composed
of about rs per cent of red top, tim
othy and chat, about 20 per cent of
such common seeds as sunf1ower, sweet
peas. morning glory, etc., and five per
cent of other varieties. The various
departments of the government are on
the watchout for these fellows who try
to stick people for even small amounts,
Spraying Mixtures.-At the Canadian
experiment farms spraying was done
last year with Bordeaux mixture and
paris green. and as result it was diff
cult at harvest time to find an imperfect
specimen Of fruit. Different formulas
Of Bordeaux mixture were compared,
one containing six pounds and the 9TH
er four pounds Of copper sulphate
(blue-stone). When applied to crab
apple trees the weaker solution was
found to be equally as efficient as the
stronger. and did not injure the foliage.

Most Of the complaint about manure

Many varieties of peaches last year

The conditions were not so favorable
for this disease this year. 1t has not
been noticed so much either on ac-

enough spraying has been done to
demonstrate whether or no this dis
ease can be controlled by spraying.
Strange Fatality Among White Ash Trees
From Farmers Review: While the
past winter was unprecedented in con-
tinued severe cold weather. some
strange results are being made mani
fest as the season advances. In this
locality we have always considered the
American white ash as one of the most
beautiful as we'll as the most hardy
for street or lawn planting, but entire
rows of trees of that variety in our
city are dead. Some of these are more
than twenty years old, and have al
ways presented healthy and vigorous
appearance. The precise locality of
the tree has cut no figure in this fatal
ity, whether on high or low ground.
In the High School grounds we had
some splendid specimens on good,
strong soil, that look now at this writ
ing, May 20, like bare trunks and life
less limbs, while now and then one
shows a feeble attempt at leafng out.
A beautiful Seeding crab in one corner
of my lawn, which has borne fruit for
two years, put out leaves and bios
SONS, but is now dying. Is the natural
surface-root system of the white ash
the cause of this sudden fatality with
apparently healthy trees or the ex-
IRENE cold? I shall be glad to hear
from others.-R. S. Hoxie, Rock Coun-
ty,>Wis.
