Making Trces Eat.

In the Crimca scientists have been
making queer experiments with fruit
trees. Instead OF trying to Increase
their growth and yield by heapirg fer
tilizers around their roots. they have
been cutting tiny holes into their
trunks and inserting salts of iron in
both solid and liquid form. An ac-
count OF these curious experiments has
been read before the Imperial society
recently and 1t was declared by the
men who have been thus feeding the
trees that the method has proved itself
TO be highly successful. Photographs
were shown of nine hundred trees that
had been thus treated. and the pic.
lures appeared to prove the truth OF
tho allegations. for all the trees were
