watchman came out and helped them and then

where it is used moderately and judi
ciously it is a splendid food, than
which there is no better.
Now in reference to the chance
for country boy to get position
in dairy work where he has prepared
himself. I can reply to this part of
our correspondents letter without
hesitation. It has been our expe-
rience here that there is a constant
demand for trained young men in
dairy work. In this connection I
would call the attention of the read
er to the winter course in agricul-
ture and dairying at the A. & M.
College, which begins January 2nd
and closes March 10th. It is a prac-
tical farmers course, intended to
touch on the practical sides of agri-
cultural life. The good this course
is doing is evidenced by a hundred
or more young men who have com
pleted it, and are now on farms or in
dairy workin this and other States.
If any reader has any questions to
ask about this course, they will be
cheerfully answered.

September Crop Report.

Raleigh Post, 3rd: State Commits
sioner of Agriculture S. L. Patterson
yesterday issued the September re-
port on crop conditions in North
Carolina. The report is made up
from the returns of 1000 blanks sent
out to all parts ofthe State. The
most notable feature in the report is
the cotton average-71, while in
August it was 83. This decline is due
to the continued dry weather causing
the bolls not to develop. The Sep
tember report is as follows:
1. What is the present condition
of cotton? II.
2. What is the present condition
of corn? IS.

(Answer by DR.. Chas. W. Burkett,
Professor of AgricuIture.)
There has been a great deal said
in recent years about the feeding
value of cotton seed products. The
use of cotton-seed meal and hulls for
both the dairy farm and the beef
farm IS not fully appreciated. The
proper relation of cotton-seed meal
to young stock is not yet fully an
derStOOd. Where it has been fed to
pigs and calves, some trials have
shown that it was not safe to use, or
at least there was certain limits in
which it was necessary to use meal
am not able to say just how far the
feeding of cotton-seed meal to young
stock should go. I believe, however,
mat where injury has resulted from
It's use, it was due to too constant
ana to too great a quantity in the
ualIy ratiOns. We should realize that
cotton-seed meal is a very concen-
trated feeding stuff, hence for young
ANIMALS but small quantity should
De led. Where cotton-seed meal has
Oeen fed to poultry, horses, and
calves in moderation, I do not know
VI any injury that has followed.
Where is was fed to sheep, pigs and
colts likewise in moderation, and at
periods of no great duration, no Ill
results have followed. Where cot
.on-seed meal is used constantly and
Ia large quantities, making it the
Oulk of the ration, injury oftimes
results. 1 believe that the present
state of our knowledge about the use

Apple Experiments at the Ohio Station.
@. W. Waid, of the Ohio Expert
ment Station gave at the recent
meeting of the Ohio Horticultural
Society, some of the results of exper-
iments with varieties of apples at
the station. Only such varieties as
had been given sufficient trial to give
some idea of their value were spoken
of. Some of the varieties shown and
discussed we're:
Yellow Transparent, a well-known
Russian variety, which has been gen
orally considered to be the same as
Cherlotten Thaler; at the station the
Thaler has made a better, growth and
the trees have been more prolific.
In comparing the Duchess of Oh
denburg with the Tetovka or Titus,
we find the latter to be a slower
grower, but with fruit of higher col
or, more conical and less acid, max
ing a very desirable apple for retail
ing.
The Keswick Goblin is a well
known variety but little grown; it is
prolific, ripens about middle of Au-
gust, valuable for culinary purposes.
Duling, a little known variety;
tree a good grower; season second
week in August, but lasting some
time; fruit good form, very dark red
color, especially when fully ripe;
flavor peculiar in that it is hard to
tell whether it is sweet or sub-acid; ;
probably would have to be placed in
the sweet class. Good for eating and
excellent for baking.
McMahon, Seeding of Alexander;
origin Wisconsin; tree good grower,
blights on rich soil, hardy; fruit
large, handsome, white; resembles
North Western Greening some; sea-
son middle September; keeps well if
picked early and placed in good eel
lar; a good show apple, excellent
cooker, fair eating apple, but season
not good for this section.
Haas (Horse or Fall Queen), orr
gin Missouri. Tree strong grower,
has tendency to blight; fruit not
good quality and poor keeper.
Mann; with us the Mann does not
have root system enough to be able
to stand the steady force of the
wind, and soon begins to lean, and
in a few years it falls entirely over;
fruit poor color; not valuable here.
Huntsman, a low spreading tree,
with very slender branches, allowing
the fruit to hang very close to the
ground; fruit good size, yellow, with
blush; season last of September; falls
early; not good season.
White Pippin, a well-known varie-
ty, but spoken Of because of it's mer-
its; tree an excellent upright grower,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-10-06
Number IS.

free from blight; fruit quality excel
lent, good keeper; one of the best
white varieties especially for culi-
nary purposes.
Northwestern Greening: tree very
fine, largest of same age in orchard;
fruit handsome a fine show apple;
good keeper, but not Of good quality;
has not borne very heavily on the
station ground as yet. Would be an
excellent tree for top-working.
Bortz: not widely known; tree
good grower, tendency to blight;
fruit good size, symmetrical, slightly
fattened; color dull red; flavor good;
good keeper; seems promising.
Wolf River, origin Wisconsin: a
Seeding of Alexander; bore the first
fruit this year, nine years old; tree
large, spreading, open; fruit very
large, the largest in the orchard;
attracted much attention wherever
shown; said to be prolific in alternate
years.
Stark: some trees grow very well
with us, others did not do so well;
on an average did not grow as well
as Ben Davis, which is contrary to
some reports.
Gano has done very well at the
station, the trees have grown more
thrifty and larger than Ben Davis,
and the fruit has been much larger
and much better colored. Quality
about the same as Ben Davis. Where
the Ben Davis will not color we'll, the
Gano is better to raise.
Bismarck: This is a Russian varie-
ty, introduced from New Zealand;
the claim for early bearing has not
been sustained with us, as the Ben
Davis and Gano both bore before the
Bismarck. The apple is larger than
Gano, and if possible more hand
some, but of poor quality and does
not seem to keep well. Tree is
dwarfsh with tendency to blight.
Not promising.
There have been four blocks of ap-
pies, each containing 40 trees, set at
the station for the purpose of deter
mining the difference between the
different methods of cultivation now
in practice. First system is cultiva-
tion and crop first few years; Sec
ond, cultivation and no crop; third,
spading and dirt mulch; fourth,
spading and straw mulch. The trees
we're planted in the spring of 1900,
and the only difference to be noted
as yet is between the straw mulched
trees and the others, the former be-
ing a little more thrifty than any of
the rest.
