WINTER KILLING.


Observations ON LOSSES In the Peach
Belt OF Lake Erie.
In the Lake Erie peach belt of Ohio,
which suffered great losses during the
prolonged cold Of the winter Of 1908 OK,
it was observed by horticulturists in
vestigating the matter that there was
marked contrast In the extent of the
winter injury on bare soils soils given
clean cultivation and on covered soils.
The bare soils froze deeper, and the
injury was much greater than on soils
covered with a mulch or other mate
rial.
Benefits of Ranking.
A simple, easy and very effective
method of preventing winter killing of
peach trees was observed In the or
chard of one grower. Just before win
ter SET in this grower hauled manure
to the orchard, but instead Of scatter
ing it beneath the trees in the usual
way he banked very few forkfuls
Immediately around the stem of the
tree. When the supply of manure ran
out peat or earth was hauled into the
orchard and banked around the stem
of the tree in the same manner. The
results from the use of these materials
were uniform, and, surprising at it may
seem, every tree that received this sim
pie trea tment survived the winter with
out the least injury from cold, while
the few trees and sections of rows left
here and there ylnbanked and serving
as checks in the experiment died al
most to tree.
Trees In sod.
On the same farm trees on a piece
of ground which was SO stony that it
could not be cultivated and which was
kept in blue grass sod, with a heavy
mulch of coarse material, such as corn
stalks, barnyard manure, etc, about
the stems, according TO the true sod
and mulch method, came through the
winter without injury

CROP ROUND UP.

Excellent Prospect For Corn--Hcavy
Yields of Wheat and Grass.
It seems quite safe to say that there
is a promise for corn crop little, if
any, below the highest record ever
made.
The yield of winter wheat at the
thrasher is decidedly heavier than even
the highest indications which could
have been deduced from the figures Of
condition reported through the season.
With the exception of Texas and Okla
homa, where the yields were moderate
II lower than normal, and Tennessee
and parts of Kentucky, where too
much rain injured the vitality of the
crop, the yield is not only heavier than
expected, but is above the normal for a
series of years. In addition to the
bumper rate of yield, the quality of
the crop is reported remarkably high
from practically every important dis
trict. 1t may not be too much to hope
for a crop of 10000 900 bushels of win
ter wheat.
Spring wheat.
The season opened very early, and
spring wheat seeding was accomplish
ed much sooner than usual After 4
large part Of the seeding was done
there was a return of wintry condi-
tons. 50 that the crop made small
growth in its early history. In the lat
ter part Of June red or leaf rust was
present throughout the northwest to
an extent probably never before equal
ed. Early in July black rust was found
to be prevalent in many of the most
important distri, 5 OF Minnesota and
the Dalzotas With very limited excep-
tons black rust nowhere developed be-
You'd the first infection. and the result
is that it has done no material dam
age to the crop. The final rate of yield
viii be fully up to the average. and up
on the acreage planted will give a
spring wheat crop Of probably not less
than 100000 bushels and possibly
somewhat above that figure.
Heavy Growth of Grass.
The grass crop both in the east and
west is heavy. This includes both
meadows and pastures. the tame hays
and clovers ana the natural grasses.
In the west an unusually heavy yield
was secured. There was too much rain
over large part Of the central valleys
at tine of haying, and considerable
percentage of hay was lost and the
quality of part of the crop was low
cred. In spite Of this the crop will be
fully as large as last year and ample
for all requirements. Orange Judd

We are asked what 1t was that de
ternined the growth Of trees along
the margins of all streams in the
prairie regions Of the country, why
there and not elsewhere. We think the
reasons viii be found as follows: The
alluyial soils of the river bottoms are
more congenial to tree growth than the
upland prairie soils. Then such soils
command more dependable supply Of
moisture something Indispensable to
tree growth. Then the periodical
foods kept the banks Of such streams
constantly well supplied with tree
leeds brought down by the water,
while the river offered permanent
snd effective barrier to the prairie fires,
which of themselves made tree growth
on the uplands next to impossible.

A writer on poultry matters says
that more attention should be paid to
developing a breed OF fowls which
would combine greater meat producing
qualities; no need to develop other
breeds than those which we now have.
Any Of the larger breeds if caponized
will improve both in weight, quality
and selling price at least 100 per cent.
1t seems strange that treatment
which all recognize as absolutely in
dispensable with the males of all other
of our domestic animals should be so
reluctantly adopted with reference to
our domestic fowls.

The pleasantest feeling which comes
TO the up to date farmer in the north
country is to feel as winter comes on
that he has everything in good shape
for the long siege. 1t is pleasant to
feel that the fall blowing was all done
early in August. that the big barn IS
full Of well cured hay. that the corn
was all gathered before the SHOWS
came, that the cellar is well stored
with the best things of garden and or
chard, that there is a good big pile of
dry wood in the shed and plenty Of
warm shelter for all domestic animals.
When things are this way he does not
dread, but rather welcomes, the winter
season.

OF Dewitt county, who is the only
man TO announce so far from South
Texas.
There is another feature of this
triangular race which Is interesting.
Senator Davidson, so 1t is generally
understood, is the candidate of the
senate, while Mr.. Hill, 1t is under
stood, was the candidate of the house.
If, therefore, only these two had been
allowed to make the race for this
exalted office of pure and unmixed
honor, 1t would have been a pure
and unmixed passage of arms be-
tween the senate and the house.
Mr.. Alderdice was Just as popular
in the house as Mr., Hill, and will
command the following of just as
many members; IL. therefore, he con-
cIudes to enter the arena. the house
and all the influence tDe members
can exert over the people will be di-
gided. which as a m2tter of course
ntensifies the complicated coH-
ditions.
