THE FALSE IDEA THAT PAsTCRAGE
is IMPROVED.
1t would seem that so common
and ancient a practice as, the burning
owe of forest land in the Southern
Appalachians in order to improve
the pasturage would long since have
been abandoned had it not proved
successful. However, apart from the
damage caused to the forest, doubt
has already arisen among some of
the farmers themselves as to whether
it is not, after all, a short-sighted
policy. The result of burning over
forest land the first time in this re-
gion is undeniably to destroy shrubs
and seedlings and to stimulate the
growth of weeds and grasses which
afford good grazing. On the other
hand, there are many localities which
owe their unftness for grazing to
repeated fires. The final result is a
sparse, unhealthy forest, entirely in
sufficient to protect from sun and
wind the hardened and impoverished
soil beneath it, which is generally
covered with a struggling growth of
broom sedge or wire grass, and is
practically bare of other heritage.
On slopes, where the admission of
light and the destruction of the vege-
table mold has been followed by more
or less excessive erosion, the mineral
soil is sometimes exposed, or even
down to the underlying rock,
where it is near the surface.-Agri-

by tourists and cattlemen. By far
the larger number, however, are the

EASY SCIENCE FOR FARMERS.
l. Why Mushrooms Have ellis.

raj Wor d.. Reprinted in The Progressive
Farmer by permissiOn.l
Not many of our readers are sup
posed to be interested in mushrooms
as growers or consumers. We be-
lieve, however, that all the members
of the "easy science" class will be in
terested in learning something of the
habits of growth of fungus plants,
and we propose to answer the above
query briefly.
As stated in the corn-blade-rolling
lesson last week, green plants grow
by -appropriating the carbon from
carbonic acid gas which is a small
constituent part of the air, and con-
verting it into woody fibre, starch,
etc. Mushrooms, on the contrary,
breathe much the same as animals /;
that is, they breathe in oxygen and
give off carbonic acid gas. AS the
air is composed by bulk of 2O.96 parts
of oxygen to 70 parts of nitrogen and
.O4 parts of carbon dioxide (carbonic
acid gas), we see that oxygen, the
life-giving element for animals and
fungus plants is about one-ffth of
the volume of the air. A large
amount of air must be inhaled in
order to acquire a small portion of
oxygen. Nature has provided the
warm-blooded animals with lungs
whose cells have an immense surface
area in order that a sufficient amount
of oxygen may be gained, yet the size
of the lungs is comparatively small.
In fishes the gills are the lungs.
They take oxygen out of the water
as it passes into the mouth and out
at the sides of the gills. Blood cir
culates through the pink gills of the
fish that take up oxygen coming in
contact with the delicate membrane
forming their surface.
It is an easy step to an understand
ing of the function of the gill plates
underneath the toad Stools" these
gills corresponding to the gills of
fishes. Fungus plants and some
bacteria forms, use oxygen to de-
compose the carbon and nitrogen
which they get from decaying or
ganic matter in the soil. In some
mushrooms like the morel, the plant
assumes an irregular club-shape, hav-
ing numerous pits or dents, thus in
creasing the amount of surface in
proportion to it's bulk. In these and
the puff-ball and other forms of fun
gus and in many parasitic plants the
breathing is done through the outer
surface, which seems to afford suffi-
cient oxygen for their needs without
the addition of gills.
One of the most important of farm
science topics is that of irrigation.
In next weeks instalment we will
tell about a system of watering crops
in dry seasons without bitches, pipes
or apparatus. 1t is just an old story
retold in a Somewhat different"
way.

For Fruit Trees that will Not Bear.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
I want to know when is the best
time to graft apple trees. [ have a
good many apple trees in>my orchard,
and have had no apples from them
in about twenty years. I am think
ing of saving off the old limbs and
grating in other fruits. [ wish to
know how to make good grating
wax, and does it pay to spray the
orchard, when and what to spray
with, and is there anything [ can do
for trees that don't bear fruit? These
trees are about twenty years old and
have never had fruit from them.

trees are about twenty years old and

J. W. II.
Rockingham Go. n. c..
answered by w. F. Massey, Horti-
culturist North Carolina Expert
ment Station.)
If. the apple trees are of good va
r%ieties, why do you want to graft
them with others? If they have Civ
en- you no fruit in twenty years is
there any reason to suppose that
grating them over will make them
bear? It seems to me that what your
orchard needs is cultivation and en-
richment of the land to get the trees
into a healthy growing state. By the
time you see this it will be too late
to graft this spring. The scions for
grating should be cut in the fall or
winter and buried in the ground till
the buds on the trees begin to swell.
Then the scions having been kept
back by being buried in the ground
will have a better chance to grow, as
the sap is active in the branches. But
with scions and stock both swelling,
the chances are against success
Then, too, as | have said, the put
ting of other varieties on your trees
will not make them prolific. PlOw
the orchard thoroughly and give it a
good coat of manur and work the
land till July. Then sow peas in it
and after the peas are dead in the fall
chop them up with a cutaWay harrow
and SOW rye as a winter cover, and
give it a dressing of acid phosphate.
In the spring pillow the rye under and
cultivate again till July and repeat.
Then when you have gotten the trees
into good growth, seed the orchard
down to grass and cut it several times
during the summer, but let it all lie
to decay on the ground. Then give
annually a dressing of acid phos-
plate and potash, and never let any
animal Craze on the orchard; and
make no hay from it, and my word
for it, you will have all the apples
the trees are capable of bearing. A
crop of apples remove more mineral
plant food from the soil than three
crops of wheat of twenty bushels per
acre, and yet men wonder why their
orchards do not bear when they are
taking hay or other crops off the land
and still expect the trees to bear
apples. In nine cases out of ten the
failure of orchards in North Caro-
lima is due to starvation and nothing
else. Then, of course, if you want
good fruit you must spray the trees
with Bordeaux mixture and arsenites
to check fungus diseases and insects.
