into two definite classes, the self stef-
lie and the self fertile. The best that
can be done is to give list Of those
varieties which tend to be more or less
self sterile and which 1t would be IN
safe to plant alone.
Following is a conservative list OF
these risky varieties drawn both from
experimental work and from the re-
ports OF over 500 fruit growers: Pears
AEgouleme Duchess, Bartlett, Clapp,
Idaho. kieffer and Nelis. Apples
Bellfower, Primate. Sptt1eoburg. Will
low Twig and Winesap. Pfums- Coe
Golden Drop. French Prune, Italian
Prune, Kelsey, Mariana. Miner, Ogon.
Peach, Satsuma, Wild Goose and, &C
cording to Waugh and Kerr, all other
varieties Of native plums except Rob-
inson. Peach SusQuehanna. Apricot
White Nicholas. Cherries Napo3eon
Belle de Choisy and Refine Hortensa.
Most Of these varieties are self fertile
in some places, but the weight Of EVIL
dence shows them to be uncertain.
1t must not be inferred that all other
varieties are always able to set fruit
when planted alone. There are some,
however. which have exceptionally
good records for fruitfulness when
planted In solid blocks, other condi-
tons being favorable. Among these
are: Appaes-Baidwln. Ben Davis, Fal-
lawater, Janet, O4denburg, Rhode Is
land Greemng, Red Astrakhan and
Smith Cider. Hums- Burbank, Brad
shaw, DeSoto, Green Gage, Lombard,
Robinson aud some Of the common
blue Damascus.
The foregoing statements are made
by Professor Fletcher Of Cornell in dis
cussing pollination OF orchards in a
bulletin Q8l) which will find its great
est usefulness among commercial fruit
growers. Professor Fletcher further
says: Let us suppose we intend 90 plant
large block of an uncertain variety
such as Kieffer. There are two points
to be considered when selecting pol
lenizer for Kieffr or any other self
sterile variety. These are simultaneous

mon orchard practice has shown that
the European pears. as Bartlett and
the sand pear Aybrids, as Kieder, will
fertfiize each other regularly when
they bloom together.
Some varieties will not fertilize each
other, though poisoning at the same
time. Kerr has found that Whitaker
plum will not feetilize Wild Goose, nor
will Early Red help Caddo Chief.
Again. the pollen Of some varieties will
give better fruit than that of others
when used on the pistils Of self sterile
or even self fertile varieties. The first
cut shows the comparative size Of
Secakl when poilinated with Kieffer
and with Lawrence pollen. Clapp pol
linated with Kieff9 was also larger
than Clapp poalinated with Lawrence
or Louise BGnSe Bartletts crossed
with Angouieme were larger than Bart
let's crossed with Sheldon. In some
cases no difference could be noticed,
yet most Of our standard commercial
varieties wifi be likely to yield enough
better fruit when planted with some
varieties than with others to make q
study Of this point worth the while.

Corn and Potatoes.
IN recent times there has been an I'm
mense amount written and spoken ii
favor Of shallow and late tillage Of q
crop. Discussing these points IN The
National Stockman, Alva Agee Of Ohio
says Some have insisted that cultiva-
ton an inch or an inch and half deep
was just right and that they wished
they could continue to give such cult
walton to the crop until It was ma4ured.
This probably illustrates we'll our tend
ency to run to extremes either run
the cultivators deep and cut OF the
roots that are needed OK else try to
scratch the surface so lightly that the
scratching does little good. Any depth
not over three inches Is surface cult
walton for potatoes or corn. and IL the
shovels do not run from two to three
inches deep all Of the surface soil Is not
put In condition to prevent the loss OF
moisture from below. Professor r. II.
King is always good authority on soils,
and he says that when the loose sod on
top settles down SO that moisture rises
within two inches At the surface the
water will begin to escape and that
surface soil should be stirred again.
Just as an extreme was reached in
reference to shallowness Of cultivation,
80 1t Is with continued late cultivation,
If Professor King is right. On this
point he says: .Tate in the season, es-
pecially with corn and potatoes, It is
questionable whether cultivation will
not do more harm than good, even
though the mulch has become fairly
firm. It is the habit OF most crops on
which intertillaee Is practiced to throw
up in July roots very close to the sur
face, evidently for the purpose of tax
ing advantage Of the plant food which
capillarity and evaporation tend to
concentrate at the surface and also to
take advantage Of the lighter rains,
which after the soil becomes dry sell
dom penetrate deeper than two or
three inches"
Here again seems possible evidence
that the old customs in growing a crop
fixed as result Of experience in past
&cu0IdIOuS dTe OIIeu muCu nearer
right than many would suppose. l had
supposed that it would be beneficial to
the corn to keep stirring the surface as
late as one had the nerve to start q
horse among the blades under a hot
July sun. as the cultivation would help
in drought, but Professor King tells
us that the plants want the fertility
near the surface and the light showers
and at this time send up little roots
near the surface that should be left
alone. In the black soils Of the corn
belt cultivation is stopped when the
corn begins to tassel If not before. In
our clay soils would risk the cont!n-
ued cultivation In corn and potatoes If
they were practicable and cost nothing.
On venture should prefer cover
ing Of looee soil over the roots until fall
to all the fertility the surface roots
may get out Of the surface in July
when the soil Is left undisturbed. But
it seems that the advocates Of late con-
tinued cultivation of corn may be in
the wrong.

MILLIONS OF WOMEN USE CUTTCURA SOAP exclusively
for preserving, purifying, and identifying the skin, for
cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruf, and the
stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and
healing red, rough, and sore hands, ia the form of baths
for annoying i%rritations, infammations, and chafngs, or
too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes,
for lucrative weaknesses, and for many sanative antiseptlc
purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, and
especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet,
bath, and nursery. No amount of persuasion can induce
those who have once used it to use any other, especially
for preserving and purifying the skin, scalp, and hair of
infants and children. CUTCURA SOAP combines delicate
emonient properties derived from CUTcURA, the great
skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients and the
most refreshing of flower odors. No other medicated or
toilet soap ever compounded is to be compared with it
for preserving, purifying, and identifying the skin, scalp,
hair, and hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet soap,
however expensive, is to be compared with it for all the
purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it COM

view of presenting the products of the State in the most attractive manner. Around the walls at intervals the stacks of corn, oats, wheat, rye, cotton, ears of corn, open bolls of cotton and many other farm products.
 The display itself consists of corn, cot ton, wheat, oats, rye, barley, beans, peas, watermelons, pumpkins, squashes, hay, to- matoes, potatoes, onions, clover seed corn wines grapes, apples, peaches, pears corn whiskey, preserves, canned fruits in fact every thing grown in the state
 Commissioner Poole and his assistants went to every section of the State for specimens to exhibit: to the Tennessee Valley for cereals and grapes, to the black belt for cotton and to South Alabama for fruits and vegetables. Huntsville, Gull man and Fruishurst furnished splendid ex- hibils of wines and products of the vine. South Alabama furnished vegetables, rice and canned goods
 In the Fruithurst exhibit are several bot ties of port and sherry and scuppernong wine, and pure juice of the grape. Hunts vile sent corn whiskey, both pure and un- fermented. Cullman'S exhibit consists of grapes and wines of various kinds.
 In the exhibit of hay is bale made from shredded corn stalks which is said to make as good hay as the best grasses. It came from the Tennessee Valley.
 Escambia and other counties along the Louisville and Nashville road between Montgomery and Mobile, sent two or three barrels of rice of home pro- duct. These counties grow annually over 100000 bushels of rice which is sold in the different markets of this country. The Alabama rice is as good as that grown in South Carolina or any other state. The grains compare favorably in size and quail ity with the product of any other section in the whole world.
 visit to this department will give an idea of the vast and varied products of the State and the possibilities of the soil.
 Commissioner Poole and his assistant, Jesse Adams, both stay at the State ex- hibit most of the time.
