Philadelphia. Mr. Argo called on

A Process Of soil Wasting.

l.. G. Burnett in an address at the
University of Nebraska, said:
II has been roughly estimated that
there is an annual loss of 269 square
miles Of soil, one foot in depth, from
the great Mississippi basin, and
very large per cent of this enormous
loss comes from the Missouri river
and its tributaries. This loss OF 269
miles includes the whole drainage
system of those great rivers, but we
must bear in mind that large areas,
such as our semi.arid regions, all Of
the lower levels and much of the
prairie lands lose but small per cent
OF the whole. Hence this great loss
must come from our rolling lands,
and none suffer more than eastern
Nebraska and Kansas. To the above
amount Of soil that is lost to the
Gulf of Mexico, we should add like
amount that Is transported from roll
ing lands to all lower levels. Imag

While the loss OF this soil represents
untold values to our farms. the gov
eminent and the states bordering the
lower Mississippi river, are spending
millions Of dollars to get rid OF our
soil. Then again, the torrential rush
Of these waters causes other losses OF
great magnitude.
Some idea of the vast destruction
Of property due to floods may be
gathered from the statement that the
floods Of 1SS1.18S2 caused loss Of not
less than Is million dollars TO the
property interest Of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi valleys alone. In 1884 the
region about Cincinnati alone suf-
fered a loss OF $10,000,000. Well may

Picking Small Fruits.

In the first place be sure you have
everything In readiness before the
picking time arrives. Your crates and
boxes should be all made up, and be
sure TO have them made properly: do
not use any dirty, ill-shaped piece Of
material in them. The appearance Of
the package has much to do with the
sale of the article. Never use crates
or boxes more than once. The neat

even II the fruit is inferior Your pick
ers should be supplied with a stand To
hold not more than six quarts. and
these should be covered, especially II

will not shine upon the fruit. In
cane fruit these can be removed and
the pickers' stands be left in the

Cultivation Of spelt In Germany,


The Bulletin des Halles (Paris)
contains the following statement con.
corning the cultivation Of spelt in
Germany: The southwest of the Ger
man Empire has it's own peculiar
grain, spelt, while in the north, the
center, and In Bavaria wheat is the
special object of cultivation. Spelt
(Triticum spelta L.) Is extensively
cultivated especially in Wurtemberg,
in the regions bordering on the Grand
Duchy Of Baden. in Alsace. in Swift
erland. and in Bavarian Suabia. In
Wurtemburg especially spelt (speltz,
dinkel. finkorn) is used almost ex.
clusively In the making OF bread
Spelt Is very much like wheat and its
-four Is placed in the same rank with
wheat -four. II differs from wheat,
however, in that the operation Of
thrashing fails to remove the outer
covering from the grains. Spelt
must, therefore, necessarily be hulled
In special mills before being mar.
keted. 1t is a rather curious and In.
tsresting fact that in France. as in
the other Latin countries, and In
England, wheat occupies first place
among cereals used for breadmaking.
but that the cultivation of spelt as
the predominant cereal is confined to
the clearly limited region specified
above.

Poiiination OF the Martha.

There has been rather extensive
planting of the Martha Crab through.
out the northwest. and, since the trees
have got into bearing age, an almost
equally general complaint that while
II blossoms freely IL is a shy bearer.
| was told few days ago of one case
where Minnesota man had been in
duced to plant large orchard OF the
Martha and was now considering the
project to cut them all down or top
work them entirely to other sorts. He
told me that they would come out full
of bloom and then have little or no
fruit. Mr.. ID. G. Hazelton of Nichols,
Aitkin Co., Mimi, north of ST. Paul.
came before the Minnesota Horticul'
meeting with a statement OF his ex-
perience with the Martha that seems
to demonstrate that all this variety
requires to convert II into a good crop
per Is to be neighbored closely by
other varieties to pollenize it, and 1t
confirms what many of us suspected
for many years. and perhaps some
have known that we have other varie-
ties that may be benefited by the use
Of pollen, not their own. Mr.. Hazel
ton is man of excellent standing in
the Minnesota society and any state
ment of facts he makes on his own
knowledge can be relied upon. His
statement as to the Martha is as fol

BUILDER OF GREAT SHIPS.
c. 3. circuit Manages Mammoth Yards
at Newport News.


For many years the late Coils p.
Huntington cherished the idea Of es-
tablishing a great American shipyard
where could be built the greatest of
battleships. and equipped with NAM
moth dry docks which could take in
for repairs the leviathans of the deep.
His work was taken up at his death by
his widow, Mrs. Arabella Huntington;
his nephew, Henry e. Huntington, and
the president of the company, C. b.
Orcutt The result is the Newport
News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock com
pany's great shipyard at Newport
News, Va, the greatest and most per-
fectly equipped yards in the United
States.
A great feature of the yard is the
dry docks. Whenever a ship on the
Atlantic coast from Jersey to the gulf
needs repairs she makes for the great
dry docks at Hampton Roads; one is
600 feet in length, the other 1927 feet
long. 1852 feet wide and depth OF 80
feet. Two battleships can be locked
in 1t at one time. II is the largest
dry dock in the world and cost over a
million dollars.
