At a recent convention OF nursery
men Professor l.. H. Bailey said;
quote from memory and may not
be oulte accurate in figures in every
instance. Only one tree Ia FIVE lives to
Weld any fruit Only one tree IN 10y
that lives gives anything like good
results. The loss Of seeds is equally as
great. These facts indicate great care
tessness. or lack OF experience In plant
ing trees or seeds. yet the loss Is no
greater than that which seems to oc-
cur to the usual forces OF nature,
though In nature there is no waste
Of substance. The robin matches, say
five young birds each season. II ali
the young lived in ten years the IN
crease from one pair Of birds would
amount to $4,000 birds thus the world
would be overrun with robins. In ma
ture not one seed in one thousand lives
10 make a plant or tree and OF those
that live not one in 100 ever reach2s

of 1000 matches, and but few that
hatch survive long enough 70 reach
mature size. II all the fish eggs
hatched and an young fishes lived the

Il Is not the fault OF nurserymen
that more trees sold and planted do
not live to produce abundant harvests
Of fine fruit. Many planters do not do
as well as they know how 70 do In
planting trees. If every planter made
an Of his trees live and produce. as
they might the markets would be food

AT the Illinois State Fair last week
we noticed one modern corn planter
that was in charge OF a man who had
sufficient information on the science OF
corn planting TO know how a machine
OF that kind should work and also
knew how to impart hk n-.srmaton.
In one discussion with hystander ne
quoted the words Of a speaker at tne
Peoria corn carnival last year, In
which ae said, "The corn you bring
here to exhibit Is not the corn that
grew on stalks where several stalks
stand together IN q hill; i is from
stalks that stand one Or two IN hill
then why not have more hills Of corn
and fewer stalks In a hillgH There is
fin this remark much truth but also an
element Of error. The science Of corn
planting is one that requires much
careful study The proximity Of stalks
has very much TO do with the yield Of
corn. both seed and stalk.
The corr planters now on the mar
ket are perfssted 70 such an extent
that they viii drop IS many kernels IN
a place as is necessary. and this places
the solution OF the problem largely iD
the hands Of the man doing the plant
ing. Some OF the machines will dro1
two kernels ia one place and three iD
the next and continue the alienation
indefinitely This arrangement ls ver1
good for rich ground.

The young man sprang away obe-

bruising himself against them when he

face, but the bitter cold unnotieed in

heard the rush and roar OF turbulent
waters. and presently came to the bank
of a stream. thirty or forty feet wide,
whose current was broken into white
