HORTICULTURE IN MAGAZINES

If a number of correspondents had not
written the editor of this department con-
corning magazine articles on nitro-cul-
ture, space would not be given to the mat
ter here blu, the inquiries denote that
many farmers are giving serious attention
to such articles which. as a rule. have
little in them to comme them of a pric-
teal nature. Generally speaking these
articles are put together by men who
know nothing of the subject of which
they write: they have gathered some facts
which are interesting and are able to put
them together in an interesting manner
but often making a sad mess of them from
a practical standpoint. Some years ago Il
brilliant writer had an article on Belgian
hareS In a prominent magazine and this
article was really the beginning of the
boom in this industry in which thousands
lost all they owned. Writers for the agri-
cultural press may not be very brilliant
in their writings but at least they are sim
cere and practical. Don't look to popular
magazines for accurate information on ag-
riculture or allied subjects for you won'.
