THE HISTORIC SHENANDOAH VALLEY.
Work Of the United States Department Of Agriculture.
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

will give so and 60 bushels. / noticed
large acreages Of poorly cared for corn
which would not make half a crop,
even where the land was apparently
fairly good.
1t seems singular that so many
farmers, not only in Virginia, but in
every State, will plough a field, harrow
it, fertilize it, and lay it off and plant
it, cultivate it once or twice and then
through neglect to give it two or more
civilizations at the proper time reduce
their yield from 20 TO 40 per cent. I
noticed many corn fields on this trip
and they can be seen in every farm
ing district in Nirginia-where h corn
had gotten Il good start and grown
well, up to its first cultivation; then
work had ceased on it and the wire
grass and weeds were gathering as
much fertility as the corn itself.
Corn in Virginia appears to be the
favorite crop for planting in young
orchards. 1t is, in fact, believed by

Free Farm Bulletin.

The Department of Agriculture has
just printed n small bulletin which will
be sent free to any farmers applying
for it. 1t outlines the results of a num-
'ber of farmers experiments made at
the various State Experiment Stations
in cooperation with the Department at
Washington. 1t includes such questions
as the top dressing of grass land, pea
nuts as forage crops; winter killing OF
fruit trees; cranberry culture lime-sul-
phur-salt wash for scale insects; clean
mix; poultry houses, etc. The bulletin
is one of a series known as Expert
ment Station Work" Four or five of
these particular bulletins are issued by
the Department during the course of
each year, each n containing from
six to a dozen short articles on practi-
cal farm matters. These publications
are of the most popular and useful
little documents issued by the Depart

Japanese Paper Plant.

Secretary Wilson'S men are working
to introduce Il sort of vegetable
leather. 1t is in reality a paper plant,
as much so as the papyruS plant of
ancient Egypt, but its uses are mani
fold, ranging all the way from dainty
note paper to waterproof garments
and which are really waterproof
under the severest tests-and leather
pocketbooks which Outwear real
leather. The plant is a pretty little
shrub called in Japanese ''mitsumata,"
and it is its inner bark which is
converted to use. The plant grows in
the mountains of Japan, and Explorer
Fairchild, of the Department of Ag-
riculture, believes that it will thrive
over a large part of the Appalachian
range and other similar sections of the
United States.
In Japan pipe cases and tobacco
pouches are manufactured from the
material, as well as a kind of wall
paper, which is already becoming fash
ionable in America. Such wall papers
of vegetable leather are turned out in
bautiful designs for wall and ceiling
decorations. being stamped and mod
eled by hand in the most artistic pat
terms. 1t would seem that Americans
have a great deal to learn from the
japanese about paper-making. Already
large quantities of another kind of
paper obtained from the same plant
are imported for use as legal docu-
ments, diplomas, deeds and bonds.
There are at least eight other plants
from which the subjects of the Mi
kado. obtain paper stuff, while this
country depends for such material up
on linen. Mr.. Fairchild, who has made
a special study of this subject, says
that it is not pleasant to think that the
brilliant white note paper which a wo-
nan uses may have nm it part of the
filthy garment of some Egyptian fellah
saved by a ragpicker from the gutter,
yet it is a fact hat hundreds of tons
of Egyptian rag are fetched every
year to the United States to supply
the paper mills. At Mannheim on the
Rhine the American importers have
rag-picking houses, where rags are col
lected from all owe Europe dhe
disease infected levant not excepted,
and where women and children work
with wet sponges tied over their
mouths sorting the filthy scraps for
shipment to New York. The best
papers are made of these vile rags.
Papers made from the inner bark of
plants, like the ''mitsumata," are a ere
alton of the Orient. They are softer,
silkier, tougher and lighter than Amer
ican-made papers. If wet they lose
their strength, like tissue paper, but
on drying regain it.
