Creamery picnics are now being held
in some parts Of the northwest. par
ticularly Minnesota. These picnics
are held under the direction of the
creamery managers in some cases and
in other under the auspices of an as
ISOLATION of the creamery patrons. The
people that attend the picnics include
the patrons and their families and
other farmers who wish to come. The
result must be beneficial. as the cream
cry business is then talked over most
thoroughly. This getting together is

Useful ora..e, and cIovers.

Prof. Andrew N. Souie: II Is also
we'll to remember that there are but
comparatively few grasses and clo-
vers adapted for general culture IN
any one section OF tho country. and
when one or more Is discovered OF
general excellence tho farmers Of.
forts should be concentrated on the
successful culture Of these. Too fire.
Quently we are ready to run after
false gods: to take up with the glow.
Ing and marvellous advertisement put
forth by the resourccful scotsman As
bait for the unwary. II Is my desire
to emphasize the fact that there arc
comparatively few well established
varieties Of either grass or clover
adapted to general culture in tho mid.
die south and that from these we
must make our selection whether tho
varieties are always to our liking or
not. In the meantime let the man
with the novelty exploit It to his en-.
tire satisfaction and after he has
demonstrated Its value and utility be-
yond all question. there will still be
time enough for the farmer to com.
menee its culture. Some OF the
primary lessons to learn concerning
the successful culture OF grasses and
clovers are therefore clear. namely.
that they are not all adapted to tho
same Kind of soil; that they vary in
their characteristics; that they give
their very best results under certain
environments: that tho number to
choose from is comparatively limited:
and that in order to be successful il
is essential that care and study be
given to the selection of varieties
and their adaptability to tho respec.
tive soils of the middle south.

How Many Trees Live7

II all the orchard trees that arc
planted lived. the country would soon
DC well supplied with fruit. Unfortn'
nately q very large number Of all the
trees that are planted die before they
come to a fruiting age. and OF the re-
mainder comparatively few ever
amount to much ms fruit bearers. One
eastern horticultural estimates that
only one tree In hundred planted
out really proves to be good bearer
OF fruit. The Missouri state Hortl'
cultural Society estimates that only
one tree In twenty planted In that
state ever comes into bearing and that
only one tree In nifty proves TO be
fruitful for q number OF years. The
estimate Is made on tho total numbe:
OF trees planted In the state. not only
by tho professional growers. but by
farmers and others that want trees
about their houses. Doubtless the
professional aud skiifui growers Of
trees have fairly good success with
the trees they plant. The loss evil
IDENTIFY is among those that are plant
ed by unskilfui growers. This shows
the great necessity for the eSistencs
Of horticultural societies. The regre:
Is that the membership OF such So
CLOTHES Is not more general. The
people need instruction In the matter
OF handling trees so as to make them
grow. The great lack OF skill In this
matter is the cause Of tho lack OF
orchards on many OF our farms. After
so many years Of tree-plnntins VIC
should to-day have better orchards
and more OF them than We have. \
