Valuable Information That WINS Civ
en- About the President OF the Unit
ed States. .9 y. Is
certain literary man is engaged in
writing an article On President Roose-
sssslelt. A few days ago he happened to
mention this circumstance to New
York publisher. and the latter re-
marked that It might be interesting to
state that the president invariably car
ried copy Of Plutarch in his pocket.
The suggestion was accepted and the
note incorporated in the article.
Two days later. the writer met an
other publisher. and informed him also,
or the article that was being prepared
The publisher said:
We'll, now, Til tell you something
that ought to be of use to you. I'm
told by one of his most intimate friends
that Mr.. Fsooseveltsa always has vol
ume of Thucydides with him."
The same evening the literary man
was dining at hotel uptown. and,
while smoking a post-prandial cigar,
was accosted by, an employee Of one of
the federal departments at Washing
ton. The latter had heard that his
friend was endeavoring to obtain copy
about the president, and proceeded to
furnish him with some. In the course
of his remarks he said:

The Glover Root rorer.

One OF the greatest obstacles to thu
growing Of clover is the clover root
borer, an immigrant from Europe. De.
structive as has been this pest in the
United States, in Europe 1t is an in.
sect Of no consequence. Indeed the
Europeans are not at all certain thai
it ever feeds on the rc5ts Of the clover
plants. In this country it not onl,
feeds extensively on the clover plant
but multiplies beyond anything evel

So destructive has this insect be.

states some years half of the clover
fields have been ruined. White clover
seems to be free from the attacks OF
this insect, while Mammoth clover
suffers most severely. Common Rec

clover is attacked to some extent
The root borer prefers the large, sue.

have given little reason for trusting
in that method. The only method that
seems to promise anything is to aban.

The value Of any variety OF corn
must be determined by a number Of
things other than the yield. per acre.
It has generally been supposed that
the relative value of two kinds Of corn
could be determined at harvest time.
Thus, IL one variety gave so bushels
per acre end another IS bushels 1t
seemed an easy arithmetical problem
to determine which corn was the best
Old corn raisers, however. know that
this does rot prove the case unless the
corn is to be sold Immediately after
harvest. The fall weighings of corn
and the spring weighings differ enor-
mously. The difference runs from to
Is per cent OF the whole weight Of
corn harvested. Even greater differ
ences have been noted, especially IN
prize crops to be harvested at q certain
time. In such a case il was only nat
ural that the grower should plant his
corn as late as possible and have it get
sufficiently ripe to harvest at the ap-
pointed time. In such case the corn
ts certain to contain al unusual
amount Of water and to weigh the
maximum. II that same corn could be
seen about the end Of the following
/ March, every kernel on the cobs would
be seen standing by itself. The shrink
age would then be well up to IS per
cept.
!. In relation to the shrinkage we must
consider tho size OF the cob. The cob
in one variety Of corn may be 10 per
cent of the whole and OF another va
riety 20 per cent. Yet the corn on the
larger cob may shrink SO little in
comparison with the corn on the small
er cob that the large-cobbed corn may
be the most economical to raise. Espe-
cially may this be so if the corn Is to
be held over six months or year. We
do not assert that this Is true as rule,
but it has been found to be so in some
cases. What all are aiming to do is to
secure or develop variety of corn
that will have small cob and that
will shrink little in thoroughly dry
ing.
1t has seemed to the writer that
prizes awarded for acre yields Of corn
should be for total weight of dry mat
ter The shrinkage Of corn in drying
and the variableness of such shrink
ing constitute very large problem
as to the real yields of corn grown
under stimulation If money prize
awards. It will also be understood that
the farmer that has corn to sell in the
fall can afford to let it go at several
cents less per bushel than he Gun get
for it six months after.

Orchard Planting

From, the Farmers Review: One OF
the questions often asked and as often
answered is: When shall plant my
orc--ard and what varieties are most
profitable? My method Of planting
trees is simple and has always proved
to be good. My advice to the would
be orchardist is: don't plant your trees
too early in the spring when the
ground is wet and cold. Wait instead
until corn planting time. The roots
Of your trees will need pruning with
a sharp knife. All broken and split
roots should be cut OF. leaving them.
however, as long as possible. Then
cut back the top and limbs in proper
ton to the root pruning. When your
tree Is ready for setting put it into a
grout hole "a hole flied with thin
mud and water). Leave it in the
grout hole for three to twelve hours,
according to the dryness OF the roots
and weather. This we'll done is the
life of the tree. The next step is to
have your orchard well ploH,ed and the
distance between rows marked on.
Then dig hole for each tree large
enough 80 that the roots will not be
cramped; fill in fine dirt around the
roots, tramp 1t down lightly. then add
more and tramp again, and 80 on un-
til the tree stands perfectly solid. l
