Fios to Become a Standard Crop


During a recent visit to the Mis-
souri, Experiment station the writer
noticed a number of fig trees In
thrifty condition Here and there
we're partly grown figs. Prof How
ard, who accompanied the writer, ex-
planned that these figs are borne on
the second year wood. and as mucn
OF the new wood froze last winter the
crop of fruit was small The surpris
ing thing about it is that the h2 can
stand any cold at all These fg trees
at the Missouri station have 10 De
bent down and covered up every WIN
ter. Hay and rubbish is used for that
purpose. Otherwise the trees freeze
back to the ground. In case oil SO
freezing back they make very lux
uriant growth the next spring Inc
writer saw some that had been lett
uncovered and had been frozen BACK
Yet they had made a growth OF al
least six feet and had developed
very large amount of foliage How
ever, they bore no fruit The trees
that had been covered had height
Of perhaps eight feet and were very
oushy and supplied with great
wealth OF foliage.
We have looked upon the fig as
tree belonging to the fire-parched des-
srts Of Africa and Asia We have
never suspected that it could be grown
out of doors even in the temperate
zone. If it can be made to grow as
far north as Columbia, Missouri, what
can We look for in the great region
lying to the south of Missouri Ger
tainly that vast stretch OF country

magnificent region in which TO de-
yelop orchards of this oriental fruit
Southwest are still greater possible
titles. Southern Arizona and New
Mexico should prove to be the regions
best adapted to the development OF the
figs, and we may be sure the people
Of those regions will not be slow to
find out the possibilities that slumber
in the combination OF those warm val
leys and the fruit food OF the Arabs
In California already the growing
of these orchards has become ousi-
ness of itself Trees are coming into
bearing by the thousands. and the
shipment of fresh figs is to begin this
season The present outlook for this
crop around Fresno. California, Is SAID
to be very encouraging. The yield Is
larger than it was last year, and the
quality is better Preparations are
being made to ship these figs by ex-
press to Chicago and New York, where
a good market awaits them Few peo-
pie in this country have ever tasted

Building Fruit Houses.

A fruit house should be SO construct
sd as to preserve an even tempera-
ture, says a bulletin of the Cornell
types: First, those which modify but
do not regulate extremes Of tempera-
ture, and second, those which furnish
definite low temperatures Houses OF
the first class are generally within the
means of the commercial fruit grow
er. Those of the second belong to the
equipment of the fruit dealer. The
ordinary storage house Is probably a
frame building provided with well
drained cellar and having perfectly
insulated walls and double doors In
sulation is secured by providing two
OF more air spaces in the walls These
air spaces should be separated by pa
per-covered partitions. Comparatively
low temperatures in these buildings
may be secured in fall by keeping
them tightly closed during the warm
part of the day and ventilated on cool
nights. Fruit houses OF this eharac-
ter will keep out frost so that the
grower may hold his fruit till favor
able opportunity for selling occurs
Dry air prevents the growth of fungi,
but causes the fruit TO shrivel; a
moist atmosphere on the other pre-
serves the plumpness OF the fruit but
encourages the development OF para
site plants. Extremes should be
avoided. The principal thoughts for
the fruit grower to keep in mind In
handling his fruit are that il is a per-
ishable article, that its keeping sea
son may be heightened by careful
handling and by low. even tempera-
ture, and that profits may be In
creased by placing it on the market
in an attractive form.

According to Beerbohm's estimates
the worlds wheat crop this year IS

1901, a difference of 60 .O0o.O 900 bushels

est crop since that of 1898, which
Beerbohm puts down at 1882, 4OO,o v0
bushels of so pounds The crop OF
the Southern hemisphere included IN
these figures is in each case that OF
the harvest following the European

innate is given. Thus the estimate
for 1902 includes the estimated crops
to be harvested in the Southern hemi-
sphere a few months hence The crop
of Argentina to be harvested in No

is put down at s0.000.0so bushels,

Canada Thistle.

In all the history OF weeds in Amer
lea none has been more complained OF
than the Canada thistle. A century
ago it was regarded by the farmers Of
New England as the greatest pest OF
their fields. When the sons Of these
farmers moved West the Canada this
tie went with them. 1t grows vigor-
ously, sometimes spreads rapidly, and
is always difficult to kill by ordinary
cultivation. 1t forms dense patches,
sometimes to the complete exclusion
of other plants. and its abundant sharp
spines make 1t disagreeable to handle.
To these characters are due its tradi-
tional reputation in the Northeastern
United States as the worst of all
weeds with little doubt. however. it
causes in the aggregate less real in
jury to farm products than does bull
thistle, ragweed, or pigeon grass, and
its distribution is confined to smaller
area than that of any OF these weeds

Roots in Hoo Feed.

in them. Ii takes from six 10 eight
pounds of roots TO equal in feeding
value one pound Of mixed grain But
the feeding of roots keeps the animals
In good condition. which in turn helps
them use TO advantage the grains they
receive They prevent young and
growing pigs from getting too fat
Hogs as well as other animals seem
to want some bulky feed and the roots
supply that need. In fact the snout
of the hog was given him TO permit
him TO dig into the earth after roots.
and we can well imagine that they
are therefore OF unusual value to him.
There is little doubt that roots are
not fed to hogs in America as freely
