Doubtful Pediqreed plan+e

We hear great deal at the nresent
time about pedigreed. seed corn and
pedigreed giants. On Investigation II
will be found that the so-called nedi.
grees are entirely lacking and what
the people mean is corn that has heen
selected for a number of years. mo
term pedigreed is a misnomer unlecs
it comes as a result of developing new
varieties from the seed, by CROSSING
with some other variety.
The term should be dropped whore
Incorrectly applied. Selecting plants
is one thing and breeding plants 10
another. 1t may be that when ono
variety Of corn is planted the resu1t.

but we are not in the habit of 50 re'
garding it. We plant Leaning corn
and get from it what we call Loan.
ing, unless it has been planted 81 noar
another variety that cross pol1en;1a.
ton results
We have seen great Improvement IN
the corn plant as result of selection
but as yet little or no pedigreed work
has been done.

Foreign Demand for American Apples
Ina recent address William A. Tay-
Tor Of WASHINGTON said: THE rea-
sons for the increased demand for
American apples in foreign markets
are varied. One of the most i'm
portant Of these is, unquestionably, the
rapid growth of the large cities OF
europe in recent years and the rela'
tive stagnation of fruit culture in
many portions of that continent. Bet
ter transportation facilities in this
country and on the ocean, at lower
cost, have made possible theilanding
OF American fruit in certain European
seaports at less cost and in better
condition than that shipped only a
short distance from their home or
chards. The development of refriger-
ated storage in the United States has
greatly steadied the export apple trade
by. prolonging the shipping season un-
I'll Australasian fruit of the new crop
comes forward in considerable guam
titles.
Five years ago it was practically
impossible for a shipper with less than
i've carloads of fruit (the approx
mate capacity of most of the refrig-
Grated COMPARTMENTS to secure space
for his shipment, while at the present
time space to several ports can be
had for single carloads at almost any
time during the shipping season by
arranging in advance.
Other causes of the increased de-
mand are undoubtedly the gradual i'm
p"ovement in methods Of packing and
handling the fruit of our commercial
orchards and a gradual approach to-
ward standard grades and standard
| sizes of barrels and boxes which is in
progress and along which line there is
still room for great Improvement.
with all the gratifying features Of
the apple export trade, there are still
| some difficulties to be overcome if the
export outlet is to be sufficiently en-.
larged to carry the prospective sur.
plus fruit from the 200,000,000 apple
trees now in our orchards. First
among these is better handling and
packing of the fruit While there has
been marked improvement in this re.
spect in recent years, there is still
need for emphasis on this point. Re.
CARELESS of trade or quality, apples
destined for export shipment must be
snugly and tightly packed"

Chemical Value of Humus,

strictly chemical value of humus is
probably not due to it's function to anv

indirectly. The view of plant nutri.
ton newly accepted a half century
ago, regarded soil constituents as val.

Do Not Forget Rape.

This coming season small field
of rape should be put in if the farmer
keeps almost any kind of live stock,
especially sheep or hogs. This plant
is becoming very popular in the parts
OF the country where it has been
longest grown. It is scientifically
known as brassica napus, and is OF
the same family as cabbage and tur-
nip. 1t will grow wherever potatoes,
corn, turnips and cabbage will grow.
1t needs especially a soil rich in the
mineral elements and in humus.
1t is very good crop to rotate with
clover, COW peas, soy beans, white
beans, peas and the leguminous plants
generally, as it takes from the soil
very different elements from those
taken by the plants named. It is
above all a soiling crop, and when
treated as such will yield from ten to
twenty tons per acre. 1t is, however,
used also as pasturage, but when so
used must be carefully handled or the
stock will eat it down too close to
the ground to permit it to give the
largest yield per acre.
About three pounds of seed is re-
CURED per acre, and the seed is drilled
IN, the rows being "a or 80 inches
apart. Cultivation should be given rs
soon as the plants appear above the
ground, to keep down the weeds and
the cultivation should be repeated
often. The keeping down of the weeds
is the important thing in the caring
Tor the rape, but when it has obtained
good development it's spreading
leaves will shade the ground and the
weeds will thenceforth make very
little growth.
II the rains are good and weather
warm, the rape will make a good
growth. in six weeks and by that time
may be cut and fed to some extent. If
it is to be pastured the stock may be
turned onto it at that time. If it is
cut down to the ground, new seed must
be soWn at once, and this process
may be continued till late summer
The crop will keep on growing till
| the heavy frosts kill it in the late
fall. It will stand good deal OF
frost, as will turnips, and now and
then roots and plants will live over
| winter. # the plant is pastured but
lightly the hogs or sheep will eat but
the tops and the sides of the leaves
leaving the stalks and some of the
mid-veins. These at once send Out
new verdure and will continue to re
new themselves all through the sea
son.

Symmetry in the Orchard Tree.

If an orchard tree is handled as it
should be, it will grow up symmetrical.
ly. This does not mean that it will
have the thickset branches like q
shade tree or a tree for ornament
only. The fruit tree must be kept
thinned out in it's branches so that
the sunlight can get at the fruit. But
the branches should be so directed by
pruning that they will form about the
same bulk on all sides of the tree and
will have about the same amount OF
space between them all around. This
increases the beauty of the tree and
increases also it's power of producing
good fruit. An orchard of symmetri
cal trees will produce more fruit than
an orchard of lopsided trees; as the
space on one side of the tree left
empty is just so much space that
might be filled with branches and
fruit. The lop-sided tree has it's limbs
packed closely and the fruit is of Door
color and low in flavor.

THE MAN WITH FAITH IN HIS
TOWN.

What manner of man makes the best
citizen? asks the Albany Herald and
proceeds to answer the question pretty
completely, as follows:
To begin with, such a man must be
law-abiding. He must have respect for
the institution we call government,
and hardly less regard for those nu-
merous unwritten laws of society which
are indissolubly welded with our Gus
toms and institutions.
Furthermore, he must be industrious.
Laziness is not part of the man who
helps build cities and states. He must
count that day lost which has not seen
his hand turned to the creation or i'm
provement of something, somewhere,
somehow. He must be man of integ-
rity-just, honorable, square.
He must have respect for the opin-
ions of his neighbors, and not.feel that
those who do not agree with him on
public questions are brakes on the
wheels of progress.
But man may be all these-may be
good citizen"-and still lack one
thing which his neighbor possesses and
which makes the latter more useful
member of the community with which
his lot is cast.
This man is the one who has an
abiding faith in his town.
He, it is, above all others, who is al
ways pulling for better things. He is
always on the front seat of the COM
muity band wagon. He is the first
resident to greet the stranger and tell
him that he is visiting the best town III
the state. He is ready to fight, at the
drop of hat the fellow who willingly
runs down the community best along
with its worst, and there is something
inspiring IN his cordial invitation to
the chronic croaker to "move some
where else.".
He is always ready to give, according
to his means, to community enter
prises He takes stock in them all,
and doesn't lose his faith if occasional
venture proves bad. He Is not afraid
to buy real estate and to pay what it is
worth. He talks up his town at home
and abroad, thinks it is the healthiest
place on earth, believes it to be destin-
ed to be the biggest city in it's section
and wants to be buried there when he
dies.
And he's worth a whole regiment OF
the luke-warm kind. n
