Sugar and Tobacco.


The proposal being made to secure

sugar and tobacco promises to bring
on another fight similar to the sugar

Where there are hills and a clay soil
the conditions are suitable for the
raising of apples. In the southern
part of Illinois ana Indiana the land
is admirably adapted TO the raising of
apples, and as yet is but little used
for that purpose. The apple tree
seems to want air drainage. The
drainage in the soil is better on the
hills than in the valleys, and this is
an advantage that the apple tree ap-
prcciates. There is difference in
trees as to the amount of air that
must come to their roots to permit
them to grow, as Is evident In the fact
that some trees will die if their roots
are in water, while others grow best
in swamps whore the water covers
tier roots at all times. The apple
tree is never a swamp loving tree. 1t
prefers the dry land where its roots
can get air as well as water.-St
Louis Republic.
