Orchard Work In Southern Illinois.
The department of horticulture Of
the Agricultural Experiment station
at the University of Illinois Is pre-
pairing for extensive field work in
southern Illinois during the present
season. Although there are many
problems requiring Investigation, the
most important one now confronting
the fruit growers is the control of the
bitter rot Of the apple, and this has
been selected for thorough study this
year. This disease has been most dis
.astrous in its attack upon the apple
crops OF southern Illinois, and unless
some effective means can be discov-
cred to keep the fungus in check, it
will render the production of apples
a rather precarious business in many
sections of the apple growing dis
tricts. The experiments this season
>will be conducted upon practical
scale in three large orchards, por-
tiQns, Of which have been placed un-
der the immediate control 81 the de-
partment by the owners. Orchards at

port and cooperation of a number OF
growers in southern Illinois; thus a
thorough investigation of the subject
is assured. The main line of work
will consist of experimental spraying
with two points in view; early spray
ing as preventive measure will be
tested, and the efficacy of later ap-
plications for the control of the dis
ease after it makes it's appearance will
be determined. In order to facili-
tate the work headquarters will be
established at Salem, where a horti-

L. A. Goodman, secretary Of the
Missouri State Horticultural Society,
sends out the following report:
Apple prospects are fairly promising
in all parts of the state where orch
ards have been we'll cultivated, and
overload of apples last year. The
orchards showing best are the young
trees. Reports now justify about 60
per cent of crop Of apples.
Pears have withstood the drouth
better than the apple, and where the
blight has not injured the trees full
crop can be expected.
Peach prospects are good in south
west part and extreme south central
portion. The cold of last December
killed Virtually, all the peach buds
north of the Missouri river, and there
will be only a few scattering peaches
and seedlings in all that district.
South of the river and in southwest
part Of the state, we find the injury
getting less and less. We can report
from this district SO to Is per cent of
crop and at the same time some spe-
cial localities report full crop.
Plums being much more hardy IN
bud, give promise Of very fair crop
indeed.
Cherry trees are loaded with bios
SONS and the prospects now are for
at least good average crop.
Grape prospects are still good.
The strawberry plantations suffered
more last year than for many years.
From reports received, the acreage
will be less than one-half of last
year, and many Of these even will
show light crop. We can only re-
port about one-third of the usual sup
ply Of berries from Missouri.
The raspberry and blackberry also
were so badly injured by the drouth
that we can count on only one-third
to one-half the usual supply of these
berries. While the blackberry vines
did not die, yet they grew so little, be-
ing loaded with berries last year, that
we cannot expect a full crop Of them.

Poultry Points Picked Up.

In an experiment to test the loss
of moisture in incubator eggs the
West Virginia station found that the
smaller eggs lost very considerable
larger quantity of moisture than die
the larger eggs. This is as it should
be, as the relative surface on the larger
eggs is less than on the smaller eggs
The result should be that the moisture
content Of the large eggs should be
more constant than in the small eggi
and in some seasons this should give
Matching results in favor of the large
eggs.
For good many years now the ad.
visers of amateurs in poultry raising
have been advising to feed the youns
chicks on hard boiled eggs chopped
fine. Now some of the poultrymen
are declaring that the practice is not a
good one, and that the hard boiled
eggs are too hard on the young chicks
We would like to have the opinion.

Harmful Foods Hard to Prove.

The pure food bills that are based
on the discovery in them of deleterious
substances are practically impossible
of enforcement. A judge must depend
on expert testimony for the determine.
ton Of the points involved. If a scien-
tist comes on the stand and declares
that a certain drug in food is harm,
less, that testimony carries weight, nc
matter how many thousands of other
scientists declare that it is harmful
The judge is not in a position to sum-
mon all the experts in a nation. An
illustration of this is shown in the
verdict of an English judge recently.
Food preserved with borax was found
by the inspectors and the owner sum-
moned into court. He brought in wit.
nesses to testify that borax is a great
help to the digestion. The judge took
the side of the defendant in the case
The natural inference is that milk SC
adulterated would not be harmful. but
we have a great mass. of circumstan-
tial evidence to prove that the pres
ence Of boracic acid in milk has re-
suited in the death of many children
in England, where the matter has been
more fully Investigated than in this
country.

The Hessfan Fly in Kentucky.

H. B. Hersey, Director Kentucky

years sowing suffered especially, ow.

Probably very little of what was sown

This injury suffered by late-sowr

skeptical as to the advantage resulting
from late planting The skepticism is
unwarranted by the facts, when al
are known and considered. It is vel

late mistake has been to turn Alex

This was the room in which the pres
ent czar's grandfather wrote his ep-

600 of Russian serfs. He expressed a
wish that the room andall its contents
should be preserved intact as me-
mortal of his great deed. 1t has been
kept in that condition 40 years. but
the present czarina thought it could
be turned to better use as bathroom.
So she ordered all the papers, docu-
ments and furniture sent to muse
um. This has raised storm of re-
sentiment among those Russians, prob
ably the majority. who are glad OF any
excuse for attacking her majesty.

Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson
was inferred in st. Columb's Chapel,
at Jackson, last week. He was laid
in vault beneath the chancel which
he had caused to be prepared when
the chapel was built about twelve
years ago in anticipation of his own
death.
In the morning holy communion
was celebrated at St. Columb's
chapel, the family, many friends, the
visiting bishops and clergy being
present to partake Of the sacrament.
In the afternoon the funeral process
sion left Battle Hill, the bishops
residence. About twenty of the
most distinguished members of the
clergy present were designated as
honorary pallbearers. Arriving at
St. Andrews church the funeral cor
tege was met by procession COM
posed Of the choir, clergy and the
visiting bishops present, who had
formed in st. Andrews. The cas-
ket containing the remains Of the
bishop was taken into the church
and the burial service for the dead
was read.
After the service the funeral pro.
cession was then reformed with a
number of visiting delegations in the
line Of march. There was an espe-
cially large delegation from Trinity
church in New Orleans, OF which
Bishop Thompson had been rector
for many years before he became
bishop. The procession proceeded
to st. Columb's chapel, where the re-
mains of the dead were laid to rest
with the usual ceremonies. In ad-
