Black Walnut

Scores of old barns in Ohio have floors and managers of black walnut. put in fifty or seventy-five years ago, when the chief endeavor of the pio- neer was to clear the dense forests for crops, says the Youths Companion. So popular is black walnut for fur niture in England and France that agents buy even old barn timbers cud fence rails. One of the few walnut groves left in Ohio was recently sold for export as lumber. The largest tree, eight feet in diameter at the stump, brought twelve hundred dol lars. In view of these facts, Arbor day means much in dollars as we'll as in love of trees. Young people who have the good sense to plant walnut groves or avenues may live to reap a fortune from timber, and by plant ing an additional acre every year will bless posterity.

EUROPEAN CROPS
Spring Backward in a Large Part of
 Europe-Other Conditions Good

WASHINGTON.-Thd agricultural departments summary of crop con- ditions in Europe, just issued, is as follows:
 With only one exception of much importance, so far as is yet known,
 the condition of the winter grain crops of Europe at the end of the win ter ranged from fair to very good. The exception is the winter wheat crop in Germany, of which the con- dition was officially stated on April 15 at 3.6. figure denoting an outlook considerably below medium. More over, nearly one-fourth (22.6 Fer cent.) of the area sown was winter killed and had to be plowed up and devoted to other crops. The rinter rye crop, however, which in Germany is considerably more than twice as large as the wheat crop, has fared much better, the condition being above medium and only 2.9 per cent. of the area required to be plowed up.
 The area under winter grain fin Russia was curtailed in some parts of the country by drouth in autumn bus there is a possibility that Tn tn, case of wheat the deficiency due to :his cause may have been made TD bv the sowing of an extra breadth of that grain this spring.
 In France, on the other hand. the area under spring wheat is smaller than last year.
 In large part of Europe he spring season has been backward, out side from this circumstance, the sprlng crops appear as a rule to have been put under fairly satisfactory :oEG.- tions.

Fatal Dispute Between Mining Engineers

PRESCOTT, Ariz.-J. w. Yoho, mechanical engineer at the Empire mine, on the Groom creek, eight miles south of Prescott, was shot and instant ly killed by another engineer, named McAllister.
 Yoho had become obnoxious to the men employed at the mine, and, the manager anticipating trouble, dis charged him yesterday.
 Yoho seemed to blame McAlllster for getting the miners down on him, and for getting him discharged. He called at McAllister's room and asked him to go down the gulch Nith him and fight it out. McAllister declined, and, after abusing him, Ioho pulled a revolver at him, but missed his aim. Just as he fired second shot, NC Allister fired also. the ball from Mc- Allister's revolver taking effect ln Yohos chest, resulting in almost in stantaneous death. A coroners jury rendered a verdict of justifiable hom- icide. Yoho was a married man ana leaves a family.

WICHITA, Kan.-Winona Kilgore, Anna Peebles and Jasemine Wilhoit, three young girls, the latter daugh- ter of Lucy Wilhoit, the colleague of Mrs. Nation, smashed the Summit sa- loon here last week.
 They entered with rocks and the barkeeper did not know that an attack was threatened until the glass began to crash about his ears. Fred Wolf, the proprietor, defended his place, knocking the girls down with his fist and pitching them, one after another, into the street. In the melee the wrist of Miss Peebles was broken.
 The police made a quick run for the scene, arrested all three of the smash CTS and locked them in the city jail.

each block frontage on a road which makes ten blocks and twenty numbers to a mile.
 These block numbers are used for house numbers, and when more than one house entrance occurs in the same block, all but the first one are followed by distinguishing letters.
 This is as simple as can be. There are more than score of very strong advantages in the use of this system. Those who want to know more about the details of the ten-block system of numbering country houses, which is the name this plan goes by, should write to Dr. s. o. Barnum, sec. L. A. w., Stimson block, Los Angeles, and enclose stamp for reply. ] In the meantime let every one of progress use their influence with the Supervisors to have the committee appointed and the work move forward. The Supervisors should appoint the committee asked for by the Wheelmen and start the work forward. SubsoiI Irrigation
 The National City Record reports that the Selva ranch, of Mrs. D. Hor- ton, under the management of MT. Rhodes, is in fine condition. and will yield 5000 of fruit this season, and adds: "He has been subsoiling both ways and the effect is that in levels where before trees were inclined to gum by reason of the stagnation of water in the subsoil are now entirely free and the distribution of both air and water through the soil is ac- complished with perfection. At first lit took a six mule team to break the 'sub-soil; now it is accomplished with one"
 The Hewes Olive Ranch
 Information comes through the Or ange News that David Hewes, who at one time was one of our most enthu- siastic advocates of olive culture, and who made extensive plantings upon his fine ranch, has lately been having his trees pruned upon the open cen ter or Boronio system Some four years ago pickling plant was estab- lished upon the Hewes ranch and about seven hundred barrels were shipped as the seasons output, but since that time the outlook has not been encouraging. The causes which led to the development of good crop that year or have been detrimental to the fruit in other seasons have never been determined. It is hoped that the open-center pruning may lead to the development of more fruit.
 Tea Culture in America
 Tea culture in the South Atlantic States may eventually become prac- tical proposition. A recently-formed company has bought 4OOO acres of land near Charlestown, s. C., to eX- tend the effort to grow tea on large scale; following the successful exper- iments long conducted by Dr. Shep- pard at Summerville. If tea can be successfully grown on the Carolina coast, why not in Florida and possibly in Southern California? It is largely a question of cheap labor, and that, in fact, is what prevents growth and rapid development of the silk and flax industries of Kansas and the North wcst.-Orange Judd Farmer
 Peaches Safe in Georgia

Naming Country Roads

In Los Angeles county movement is on, led by the Wheelmen, to name the country roads and number the country houses. The Wheelmen have asked the Supervisors to appoint a committee to arrange the roads in the best lengths and suggest names for them; also to report upon the advisa- bility of blocking the roads and num- bering the houses.
 Road blocking consists of measur- ing and dividing them into blocks, ten to the mile, which gives them front age of 528 feet. A number is given to

This amounts to over 530 carloads, and indicates that Jamaica is quite factor in the orange market, in spite of the tariff. The crop was light one this year, and under normal con- ditions with a lower tariff, the islands would easily put 1000 or even 20OO carloads of oranges into New York. Naturally the California orange grow CT does not enthuse over any reciproc- ity treaty that will increase imports from Jamaica.
 The Guide reports imports of about 40, 900 boxes of Porto Rico oranges so far this season. and few Cuba or anges It predicts a largely increased importation from both these islands next season.

Green Maturing


 One fact came out in green manur ing that perhaps better be mentioned now while fresh in mind for next seasons guidance. AS has been rec commended before no seed should be sown for green manure unless at the time the ground be furrowed out so that irrigation can be kept up during the winter and until plowed under. The trouble that has been experienced has arisen mainly in sections where irrigating water is not very plenty. In all such sections seed should be sown early enough in the fall to en- able plants to be at their best before the winter rains are all over and be- fore the ground has dried out. If plowed when the ground Is dry 1t turns over in hard clods and the mass of green vegetation remains undecom- posed, rendering it impossible to fur row or cultivate. The recent rains, however, will put new phase on those belated patches and put them in fine condition to decompose. Those who got in their work in good time are we'll pleased and remark that their ground is mellower and damper than under other circumstances 1t would be. Those neighborhoods that have tried the green fertilizer are the ones most in favor of it.-California Culti- Vator.
