The Hardness Of Trees.

An expert nurSeryman says the hard
mess or nonhardiness of trees depends
largely upon where the seeds from
which the trees in question sprang came
from Satisfactory results are seldom
experienced by planting seed obtain
ed from the sunny south, say. BY plant
ing seeds generally farther north, how
ever, trees may be at length hardened
and acclmated until seed from such
q tree may be reasonably expected to
thrive and mature its fruits.
Trees, like people, acquire their hab-
its from the climate in which they live.
The northern tree knows instinctively
when the time has come to ripen its
fruits The southern tree follows the
same instinct, being in no hurry, as
there is little likelihood of real cold
With transplantings farther north it's
habit changes.
The great trouble with most people is
that they want to jump q tree from
south to north at one move. This same
idea is evident in the attempt to bring
various fruit trees from Russia to the
northern United States.

the great white czar have taken kindly

tarv Of Agriculture Wilson is in favor
Of the measure.
Commenting on the bill the Atlanta
Constitution says that the plan pro
posed by this bill is to levy tax OF
enc mill on every bale Of cotton gin
ned. the einner collecting the tax and
rra statistics at the same time. The
department Cf agriculture is to furnish
the einner printed forms, which he is
REQUIRED to return properly filled at
stated intervals, each form to repre-
sent one ginned bale, and bear spe-
cial stamp Of the value of one mill.
The revenue thus derived would
amount to $4,000 for an average
crop Of 10000 600 bales, and the thecry
of the tax levy is that the sum pei
bale would be SC infinitestimal that it
could not be objected to by those
most concerned in having the cotton
statistics gathered and reported in
the most direct and reliable manner
possible Under the provisions If the
bill the ginner pays the tax. but wheth-
er he is reimbursed in his dealing with
the farmer is left for conjecture. There
are safeguards provided against the
possible Juggling CT figures, which
amount to a publicity system for gin
house books.
Aside from greatly simplifying the
present rather complex and round
about method Il gathering and report
ing cotton crop statistics, it is held
that the Bureson system will save
the government round half million
dollars. which could to better advant-
age be devoted to helping the cotton
producers in other ways. The bill is
said to have considerable strength

sen1ation merits and will doubtless re-

The idea of taxing cotton. even nomi-

ing statistics of the crop, may prove
repugnant as principle, and w~'u!d
likely be regarded as an invidious dis
elimination if the system We're not eA

Be this as it may, the purpose to Pc

thoroughly commendable, and, it is
