Grape Rot Prevention.

The Ohio Experiment Station has

of grape rot prevention by spraying.
and to Soda Bordeaux mixture as well
as to the source where caustic soda
may be obtained for making the Soda
Bordeaux mixture. These press bulle-
tins will be sent to those who apply.
Warning is now given that spraying
at six-day intervals is imperative
while weather Is SO favorable for
grape rot; also, that 1t is no longer
safe to use the regular Bordeaux mix
ture except perhaps once on Catawba
grapes. Upon Concords, and other va
rieties ripening with the Concords or
earlier. ammoniacal copper carbonate
or Soda Bordeaux mixture, preferably
the latter, should be substituted, since
the ordinary Bordeaux mixture will
coat the grapes too much. Grape grow
ers are urged to substitute one Of the
last named sprays, by preference the
Soda Bordeaux mixture, and to persist
in the spraying until August 15 upon
Catawbas one application should be
made after that tate.-A. ID. Seloy,

Useful Grasses and cloxsrs.

Prof. Andrew M. Soule: 1t is also
well to remember that there are but
comparatively few grasses and clio
vers adapted for general culture IN
any one section Of the country, and
when one or more is discovered OF
general excellence the farmers eff.
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 resourceful scotsman as
bait for the unwary. 1t is my desire
to emphasize the fact that there are
comparatively few well established
varieties of either grass or clover
adapted to general culture in the mid.
die south and that from these we
must make our selection whether the
varieties are always to our liking or
not. In the meantime let the man
with the novelty exploit 1t 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
mence 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 the
same kind of soil; that they vary in
their characteristics; that they give
their very best results under certain
environments; that the number to
choose from is comparatively limited;
and that in order to be successful it
is essential that care and study be
given to the selection of varieties
and their adaptability to the respec.
tive soils of the middle south.

How Many Trees Liver


II all the orchard trees that are
planted lived, the country would soon
De well supplied with fruit. Unfortu.
nately very large number of all the
trees that are planted die before they
come to fruiting age, and of the re
mainder comparatively few ever
amount to much as fruit bearers. One
eastern horticulturist estimates that
only one tree in a hundred planted
out really proves to be a good bearer
Of fruit The Missouri state Horti-
cultural Society estimates that only
one tree in twenty planted in that
state ever comes into bearing and that
only one tree in fifty proves to be
fruitful for number of years. The
estimate is made on the total number
Of trees planted in the state. not only
by the professional growers, but by
farmers and others that want trees
about their houses. Doubtless the
professional and skilful growers Of
trees have fairly good success with
the trees they plant. The loss EVIL
IDENTIFY is among those that are plant
ed by unskilful growers. This shows
the great necessity for the existence
of horticultural societies. The regret
is that the membership of such So
cieties 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 the lack Of
orchards on many Of our farms. After
so many years of tree-planting we
should to-day have better orchards
and more Of them than we have. A
campaign of education is needed In
the manner of planting and caring for
trees.

Fires and Forests.


The greatest damage done by the
lumberman is not in cutting the for
est. The main purpose OF the forest
is to yield timber, and most OF the
wood cut in the past has been over
ripe. He has left the ground covered
with slash, so that destructive fires
have followed in his wake. This has
prevented natural regeneration. II the
destruction due to these fires could
have been prevented, Nature would
have replenished these cut-over areas
long ago. The more the lumberman
cuts and the fire burns. the fewer
become the seed trees, and the more
difficult becomes the natural regen.

One Man Averaged $1,000 Year for
Twenty Years.
In some restaurants in New York
the walters put all their tips in a
box and divide equally. That is a
very general plan in Paris. AS a rule,
in this country, however, what each
gets is his own. In one cafe, with
three distinct sets of patrons the tip
ping is so constant that the walters
serving there pay handsomely for the
privilege. There is, however, only
one such place.
At another well patronized place
some of the walters have served many
years. One of these the other day
said he had kept account of his tip,
for twenty years. The lowest on rec.
ord was $500, the highest $500, while
the average was $1,000. This means
that in tips this worthy man had
taken in $3.50 a day during twenty
years.

HOW SLEEP MAY BE WooED
Position in Which a Person Should

Position in Which a Person Should
Lie to Induce Somnolence.
Few persons in an ordinary assem-
blage can tell offhand what positions
they assume to induce sleep and yet
there is not an individual in the
world who has not some trick of dis
tributing limbs and trunk to insure
slumber's blissful spell which he
practices unconsciously. This is a
night habit as perpetual and immuta-
BILE under normal conditions as the
succession of the seasons. No sooner
are we really off to the land of nod
than the night habit asserts itself.
Our hands and arms seek the same
parts of the bed or the same portions
of our bodies upon which they have
nightly rested since infancy; our feet
and legs stretch at the same angles
or loosely entwine in comfortable re.
Taxation as commanded by unconscious
will.
1t is seldom of our own deliberate
volition that we place our bodies in
position for sleep, as you will find
tonight on going to bed if you re-
member these words. In truth, if you
do not seek to combat the instincts
you will be surprised at the disposi-
lions of the various members involun-
tarily made. If you endeayor to go
to sleep by a new arrangement of the
body you will also be surprised by
the revolt against slumber which will
surely ensue, but even before the
struggle is well begun you will prob
ably surrender and permit the all
masterful night habit to reinstats
those little details of position which
long practice has made necessary to
your comfort.

Adversely Does Not Make Trees
Hardy.

John Clifford says: One often hears
the argument that trees or any other
living thing which has survived ad
verse conditions are stronger and
harder than they would have been
without this struggle. An animal OF
plant that has been deprived of every
thing except the minimum require
ments for existence can never com
pete with the well-fed organism. A
tree can never completely recover
from the effects Of suppression and
adversely. The common practice OF
hardening plants by growing them in
a poor soil is mistake. Grow them
from good seed in good soil, and then
II they are planted in bad soil they
will grow all the better from their
good start in early youth. One might
without doubt produce hardness by a
long period Of selection, extending in
the case Of trees over a period OF
hundreds Of centuries, but the hard.
ening effect on the individual for a
couple Of years in the nursery is prob
ably very slight.

Do Sugar seets Exhaust the Soil?

Generally speaking the above ques-
ton may be answered in the affirma.
tive. But by rotating the sugar beet
crop with other crops and applying
fertilizer as needed the drain on the
land may be reduced to a minimum.
Growing sugar beets on the same land
year after year is certainly not good
practice. In Germany experiments
have been carried on to determine the
effect Of rotating beets with other
crops. Two pieces of land were put
in rotation of four years. On one
plot beets were grown and on the
other not. All other conditions of the
land and treatment were the same.
The beets were planted on the land
one year in four. The experimenters
claimed that the results were very
much in favor of the beets. On the
land on which sugar beets were grown
once In every four years there was
the following increase of yields over
the other plot. Wheat 16 per cent,
rye per cent, barley 20 per cent,
oats 40 per cent, peas So per cent and
potatoes 7 per cent. Unfortunately
we do not know what the yields of
other crops were or what the yield
of the beets was. We presume, how.
ever, that the hand work put on the
beet crop throughout the growing
seasons developed more plant food In
the soil than would otherwise have
been the case.
