Potash for Fruit.


All kinds of fruit abound in potash,
more especially in their seeds. Lack Of
potash in available form for use is pos
sibly one reason why fruit does not per-
feet as it used to do. In growing the finest
grapes French vineyardists use no fer
tiliZer except potash made by burning
clippings from the vines and twigs cut i'm
pruning trees. 1t is probably true that a
dressing of unleached ashes applied in the
spring will make the fruit ripen earlier
and attain niger color and perfection. It
is lack of potash that causes fruit at mid
summer to remain several days without
change. This is particularly noticeable
in grapes where the vines have set more
than they can perfect. In such cases mil
dew often sets in and the fruit never fully
natures. Potash aids not only in perfect
ing the seed, but in that mysterious pro-
cess which changes the acid, astringent
green fruit to the wholesome, luscious
ness that the same fruit attains when ripe.
Whatever of sweetness the fruit has it re-
ceives through it's leay es, but it cannot do
IL unless there is soluble potash to be
taken up by It's roots from the soil.-Ex-
change.

Co-operative Fruit Marketing.

Cooperative business enterprises among
farmers have not generally been success
full, but the Farmers Guide has faith in
cooperative fruit marketing. IL says
farmers cannot possibly get the largest
profits out of fruit unless they are so stu
ated that they can get all the advantages
that there are in it's sale. Every fruit
growing locality should form an organic
ton and observe the best and most prac-
ticical business methods in the growing,
harvesting, curing, packing and market
ing of fruit. This will insure uniformity,
understandable class of fruit. Will reduce
cost of packing, shipping and selling and
result in better returns in cash to the in
diyidual grower. We advocate that all
fruit growers tributary to certain ship
ping point organize by incorporation un-
der the laws of their respective state, get
up bylaws, and elect officers, trustees
and managers. Select men who have
proper business qualifications, experience
and standing. Then the association being
ready for work, the secretary Is to pre-
pare a small book, giving each fruit
grower page or more, upon which VIII
appear the name and size of orchard, age
and number Of each variety oftrees. Also
an annual similar crop book when the
crop is about made. The secretary will
send each grower copy of leaf or the
annual crop book and the grower will fill
out the amount of crop in estimate OPP
pOsite each variety.
In this manner the manager will, by
computing the returns, find approx
mately the amount of different varieties
of fruit grown and to be markettd during
the season, and he can set to work in find
ing a market for it. The grower will lie
equested only to market the best fruit;
the association will have grading, pack
ing and shipping warehouse on the rail-
road tracks, and when the fruit is brought
to it, it will be graded, packe and marked
uniformly, then shipped in a manner to
give satisfaction to wholesaler and con-
sumner.
The benefits include cheaper freights
and better service, assurance that the
fruit is perfect, and the saving of expense
in procuring boxes and cases in large lots;
and most important Of all the establish
ing of reputation worth money.
