A Good Report on the Condition of
State Trial Orchard.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS:

To THE EDITOR OF THE News:
After making a visit to your city a
short time ago, and after giving the
State Trial Orchard thorough eX-
animation, make the following re-
marks of the condition of the same,
which will no doubt be of interest to
your readers.
1.-The trees in the Eagle River Trial
Orchard are making very satisfac-
tory growth as found on my recent
visit.
The trees set last May are alive with
few exceptions and are growing nice
| ly. Several of the native plum trees
set in the spring of 1902 are bearing
| fruit.
! The orchard now contains $40 trees
divided as follows: Cherry IL, Plum
17S, Apple $50. The cherries are
mainly Early Richmond and Mont
morency with a few Ostheim.
The plums are all native varieties
as follows: Aitkin, Brittlewood, For
est Garden, Hammer, Klondike, Miner,
Quaker, Rockford, Surprise, Wolf and
Wyant.
There are thirty-three varieties of
apple and crab as follows: Astrachan,
Duchess, Eureka, Fameuse, Fridds'
Winter, Hyslop (crab), Longfeld, Ma
linda, McMahan, Mcintosh, Miller,
Newell, Northwestern Greening. Pat
tens Greening, Perry Russell, Plumb
Cider, Scott Winter, Seek-no-further,
Summer Early, Sweet Russell, Tetof-
sky, Tolman, Transcendent (crabs),
Utter, Walbridge, Wealthy, Willow
Twig, Windsor, Wolf River, Yellow
Transparent and three Seeding as yet
yet unnamed.
1t must be understood this list of
apples is not to be taken as guide
for planting as the work so far is
purely experimental. Some will per-
ish while the hardest will survive.
1t is probable that any of the Plums
named here may be planted with ev-
cry hope of success.
Many of the apple trees that were
frozen back last year have sent out
vigorous shoots near the ground. A
number of these trees have been re-
tanned after removing the dead tops.
While thess may not make handsome
trees it may be that such low-headed
or 'trunkless" trees will be exactly
suited to Northern conditions.
In portion of the orchard grass
has been allowed to grow by way OF
forming a sod; the re-
mainder being cultivated. About |
Aug. 1st the cultivated portion will be
heavily seeded with oats in order to
provide a winter cover crop. Pro-
tectors either of lath or veneer have
been placed around the tree trunks.
These serve several purposes: 1st.
sun-scald or killing of the
bark on the South side OF trunk by |
intense sun heat: End, preventing in
Jury from field nice, rabbits, etc., in
winter: Srd, preventing injury from
whifietrees in cultivating, etc.
Readers of the News are invited to
visit the orchard on ID. L. Riordan's
farm, two miles North of the city, at
any time. The State horticultural
Society is doing pioneer work in vi
las county in fruit tree culture and
asks the corporation of every resi-
dent of the county. An active inter-
est in our work and helpful advice
will always be recognized and in re-
turn the Society pleeges itself to do
all possible for the development of
the fruit raising industry in Villas
County.

The twenty-second annual fair
of the Tyler County Exposition
and Fair association was held
last Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday. The total at
! tendance for the four days was
1900 people. The gate receipts
and other moneys received for
privileges, etc.. will amount to
about $4,000. The races were
all good, and many of the people
expressed themselves that it was
the best fair for years that they
had attended. The new track
gave satisfaction to the horse
men. The crowd was orderly
and everybody enjoyed them
selves. The rain Thursday morn
ing cut down the attendance
at least 1000 people for that day
over last year, but the first and
last day made up the deficiency
and the gate receipts were over
$7S more this year than last. Fol
lowing is the results of the var
ious races held during the week ::

MAGNITUDE OF
THE CORN CROP

5000 acres.
Corn may make a metropolis.
The marvellous expansion of Kan
sas City in the past two decades is
due largely to its position in the
center of the corn growing re-
gion. The hog, the steer and the
horse are fed by King Corn.
Time was when Cincinnati was
the great packing center Of the
country, but the hog passed west
ward to root in the bigger corn
fields, and Chicago became the
great packing town. Now Kansas
City is close second, and Cincln-
natl has practically gone out OF
the packing business.
