KANSAS Is ALWAYS
INTERESTING

Prosperity sometimes manifests itself
IN unexpected ways. A Kansas news
paper records it as a suggestive fact
that the town where it is Published
many thousand dollars have been ex-
pended during the last year for monu-
ments TO the dead There may be
something novel in the thought that
a towns prosperity, or the reverse, may
be disclosed by glance over a grave
yard fence; but the fact reported sug-
gests something more and better. 1t
shows that in hard times the dead had
not been forgotten, and that many a
last resting place remains unmarked
not from lack OF affection, but from
lack of means on the part of those who
are left behind.-Youth's Companion.

Nothing seems Impossible with thor

saw cauliAowers eight inches across
and leaves touching the body of cherry
trees on which there were no less than
six bushels to the tree. Forty-eight
hours after the caulihower was cut and
the cherries picked the soil under the
tree was planted to another crop!
How they can do this is a mystery
and as my French 10 limited to about
forty words. could not ask many
questions. Tho gardens between Rouen
and Paris are probably the finest In
the world and the neatness Of the
homes beyond compare; stone houses
with red-tiled roofs, no weeds, no
waste material lying anywhere. Pears
of all colors loaded the trees, and
trees trimmed in fantastic shapes,
cherries bending with fruit and. east
OF Paris few miles, SO many that
they fairly colored the landscape.
In Paris l saw oleanders that l could
climb and at Treves tree roses, ditto.
At the latter place, in the great rose
garden of Europe. as late as Aug. /,
thousands Of roses were still in bloom.
What must 1t have been in June! For
shade trees they have no elm equal to
ours; their linden is. not to be COM
pared with ours, and we can beat the
oaks Of old England. The sycamore is
the great ornamental tree of Europe,
and you are never out of sight Of them
in any town from the Mediterranean
to Rotterdam.
OF grapes l saw no end, thousands OF
acres; the terraced banks of the
Moselle and the Rhine are one continu-
GUS vineyard. In France If you fur
nished two casks they would fill one

How to avoid the Hessian ny is one
Of the great problems that confronts
the wheat culturist. From time to
time discoveries are being made that
may make 1t possible to in the future
greatly lessen the violence Of the at
tacks. It now seems probable that
where wheat Is lacking in thriftiness
1t is more injured by Hessian hy at
lacks than where 1t is vigorous. This
is principle quite generally accepted
as to fruit tree insects. Prof. Andrew
NJ. soule of Tennessee says: Wheat
On thin and impoverished land suffered
most from attacks OF the Hessian fy.
From the results obtained In sowing
wheat on different dates, 1t IL apparent

The government summary of the
work Of the Missouri Fruit Expert

Prof John T. stinson, says: During
the first years operation of this sta
tion about forty acres Of land were
brought under cultivation, twenty Of
which were planted in test orchards.
Experiments In, crossing strawberries
have been undertaken, and some
spraying experiments ON . commercial
scale for the control Of apple scab and
bitter rot carried out in a neighbor-
ing orchard. Eighty varieties Of ap-
pies. 1os peaches. II grapes and Sc
strawberries were set out. Apple scab
on the varieties Ben Davis and Hunts
man. was almost entirely prevented by
spraying with Bordeaux mixture. Bit
ter rot was more difficult to control
with Bordeaux mixture. In one ex-
pertinent on Ben Davis sprayed five
times. 60 per cent Of the fruit was
free from bitter lot, while on control
trees only IN per cent was free from
1t. In another part of the orchard rs
per cent Of the fruit sprayed -four
times was free from the rot. while on
unsprayed trees all but IA per cent
was affected. The variety Huntsman,
which was sprayed three times during
the season gave SO per cent free from
bitter rot and 90 per cent free from
apple scab. while on unsprayed trees
but 4S per cent was free from bitter
rot and 6s per cent free from apple

Tho summ.r ra.lox.

The good old advice to summer fal-
low is NO longer passed on from father
to son. The plan originated in the
days Of the Hebrew patriarchs,, and,
we doubt not has had something to do
with the barrenness that is now said to
be the state of many of the hills on
which 1t was practiced. When SCI
ence took up the matter 1t found that
no fertility was conserved by permit
ting the land to remain idle. 1t was
even discovered that a crop Of weeds
was far superior to crop of nothing.
Summer fallow-plowing up the land
and leaving it bare for a season
causes losses in several ways. The up
per layer of soil becomes dust under
the fierce rays of the sun. In this
dry dust chemical action sets in and
annihilates every vestige of organic
matter-the humus. This humus was
the great factor in the retaining Of
moisture and Of nitrogen. A crop
would have shaded the ground and
prevented chemical action of the ma
ture mentioned. The loss of humus
changes the physical properties of the
soil. causes 1t to be less reteAtive of
moisture. lighter in color and heavier
in weight per cubic foot. Rotation of
crops. including the legumes, is better
than summer fallow.

Losing Hunu. and Fertility.

Growing wheat continuously on land
depletes the nitrogen and humus In 1t
In addition to what is taken up by
the crops themselves. Just how this
depletion takes place we do not know,
but 1t does take place to surprising
degree. This fact largely accounts for
the rapid deterioration of lands de-
voted exclusively to wheat growing
and to summer fallow. This latter
practice. though hoary in age, IL a
greater waster of nitrogen and Of hu-
mus than Is even wheat growing. At
st. Anthony's Park, Minnesota, q plat
Of ground that was used In the grow
Ing of wheat continuously for eight
years lost 100 pounds of nitrogen.
OF this only 800 pounds was taken up
by the wheat crop. -Four times as
much nitrogen was lost by soil and air
as was used by the wheat. That
meant a loss of 1,400 pounds. which
was more than one-fifth Of all the nj
trogen In the soil at the time the wheat
was first grown. What then would be
the result in five times as many years
forty years? The land would GER
tainly become useless for the growing
OF wheat and would reach q condition
In which the recovery Of Its nitrogen
would be extremely difdcult. In ad-
dition to the loss Of nitrogen there
was yearly loss Of 1000 pounds Of
humus. through chemical action.
