TREE AND PROMPT DELIVERY.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1905-11-22

spend money freely at the next seS
sion of Congress to defeat the pro-
posed parcel post bill. We must meet
their attacks. Successful Farming
proposes to help its subscribers in
fighting for their rights. We want
to fight shoulder to shoulder i'm this
matter. Inform your congressman
that you expect him to do his utmost
in supporting the parcel post bill be
fore the next Congress. Study the
parcel post question from every stand
point and help to win needed
.+ervice for the country.
We found the following item on the
same subject, in an exchange simply
credited as noted in the item.
Good arguments for the parcels
post were advanced at the National
Farmers Congress. Said Hon. John
Lamb, 1.-The parcels post is a success
wherever it is put in operation. 1t
is admitted that so far as letters and
small packages are concerned the
Government service is better than
private service could be. If better on
letters and small packages why will
it not be better on large packages
The present rate on fOurth-claSs mat
ter is practically prOhibitive. A par
eel post at reasonable rates will be
of incalculable benefit to the farmer,
the gardener, the retail dealer and
even the manufacturer" SO evident
proposition admits of little dispute.
The express companies do not try to
argue openly, but they seem to have
ways of making themselves heard
more effectively at Washington than
the best affOrts of those who have the
weight of argument, but light pocket
books
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1905-11-22

Prof. w. f. Massey is not yet con-
vert to the New Horticulture This can
be seen from an article on planting
trees which he wrote for the Progress
sive Farmer. Probably he has not
tested it. His idea of fall planting
is even more applicable to Florida
than it is to North Carolina If you
have trees to put out, do so i'm the
fall if possible. We certainly advise
a trial of the method of the new hOrti-
culture. Set part of your trees by that
method and then. if your faith fails,
go back to the old way for the rest.
If you do this, Prof. Massey's direc-
lions are good and clear We omit
the list of varieties, which he recon-
mends. as being unsuited to this state.
In the South all orchard planting
should be done in the fall Our soil
does not freeze deeply in winter. and
the trees will be making new feeding
fbers before the weather is warm
enough in spring to start the tops to
swelling.
No matter how carefully tree is
dug from the nursery the feeding
roots. that is the small tibres which
are alone concerned in getting food
from the soil, are all dried up and
destroyed. Hence in planting we
should prune the roots rather closely,
say to six inches all around. for the
new fbreS will start more readily
from clean-cut surface than from
the old dried up rOOtlets. But when
a tree is set in spring our hot weather

The Parcel Post.


says:
One OF the great needs of the
American farmer today is the parcels
post. The present rate charges on
parcels of merchandise sent through
the mails is one cent per ounce on
parcels weighing not more than four
pounds. In previous issues of Success
full Farming we have shown the great
convenience and saving that would
come through the inauguratiO of the
parcel post whereby articles of mer-
chandiSe weighing as high as eleven
pounds could be delivered through
the mails at a charge not to exceed
% cents. AS it is now merchandise
weighing over four pounds, must be
sent through express companies who
charge an enormous rate. 1t is claim
ed by those in position to know that
these companies are making annual
dividends of from 100 to $50 per cent,
simply getting rich at the expense of
the farmer and common people. when
the government could carry packages
of greater weight than they do at
present at a much lower cost. There
are many articles of merchandise that
the rate of postage for sending them
was reduced to a rate as is charged
by other countries where the parcel
post system is practiced.
Twenty-Five countries, including
Great Britain. Germany. Austria and
Switzerland have the parcel post and
their Post Office department are max
ing money out of the system. In
England a IL lib. pacqage is carried
for % cents. in Germany the same
weight package is carried for II cents.
while i'm Switzerland a package weigh
ing as high as 10 lbs. is carried six
tytwO miles for 60 cents.
The United States conforms to the
parcel post system of Britain and
Germany in sending parcels to those
countries. Successful Farming read
ers can send Il parcel weighing four
pounds to Great Britain for 4S cents.
but to send the same parcel through
the mails ten miles distant will cost
them "a cents. If the post office de-
partments of the foreign countries we
have mentioned can make annual pro-
fits through their parcel post system.
why cannot the United States do the
same thing?
The large deficit last year seen in
the post office department came large
ly through the expense incurred i'm
operating our splendid system of r. F.
ID. The average rural carrier making
drive of twenty-five miles carries a
light load, requiring but little service.
1t would not necessitate any additional
expense on the part of the government
for the same carrier to take parcels
for delivery. Such a system would
mean an increased revenue for the
post Office department and a great
saving to the farmers pOcket-bOOk.
AS it is now, the express companies
charge rates altogether too high. with
special rates granted to large shippers.
thus taking the bulk of the profits
out of the common people that in the
main could be served cheaper and
better through parcel post system,
where parcels would be delivered at
the farmers door without additional
charges.

Therefore we advise fall planting
Buy Direct From the Nursery.-DO
not deal with a travelling salesman,
no matter if he represents reliable
nursery, for by dealing directly with
the nursery you can always get bet
ter trees and at lower prices Do
not let any one persuade you that far
fetched trees are better than home
grown ones Get the trees from the
nearest reliable nursery. Send the
nurseryman Tor more than one of
ihem) list of what you want to
plant, and ask him to put his lowest
prices on the list for cash, and tell
him that anything on the list that
he has not. must not have something
else substituted for it, but that you
want just what you order and moth
ing else.
Plant Year-Old Trees-Never plant
any tree older than one year from
the graft or bud.
OF course no one ever plants peach
trees older than this, but when it
comes to apples and pears. etc, peO-
PIE want big trees. Now if you buy
the ordinary three or fOhr-year-Old
apple trees it will be utterly impos-
Sible to get them into the shape you
should. The nurseryman knows that
people buy trees, as a rule, by height,
and he grows them as tall as posi-
BILE. At the end of the first year he
heads them back slightly, and i'm the
crowded nursery rows they start I'M
symmetrical heads and too high from
the ground, and when you plant these
old trees you have got to accept the
nursery head and the tall stem.
But if you plant a yearling tree
it is a mere switch full of live buds
all ready to start. Then you can cut
it so as to form the head of the tree
where the head always should be in
the South, only a few inches from
the ground. AS Mr.. Hales, the great
Georgia peach grower, said last win
ter at the meeting of the Virginia
Horticultural Society: "What do you
want with a trunk to fruit tree
more than enough to hold the head?
In my big orchard in Georgia l
have no such thing as a step-ladder
and do not need any. Last summer
a man sat on the ground under one
of my trees and gathered half the
crop on the tree before getting on
his feet
Pruning the Sprouts. Therefore I'm
planting a tree / would select one
year tree, would prune the roots care
fully, and would then set it, if posi-
BILE, when the earth is not wet. |
would put the top soil in the bottom
of the hole, but never anything like
manure i'm contact with the roots. l
would ram every inch of soil as put
in as tightly as setting a gate post.
ard would never allow the earth to
be settled by pouring water i'm the
hole. Then when the tree is set cut
the top off about eighteen to twenty
inches from the ground. 1t is very
common to see tall Stemmed trees here
with the bark killed by sun scald on
the southwest side. With the short
stem one can easily stick a single on
that side to keep the sun off till the
top spreads to shade it. as it will in
one season with such short stem.
Peach trees we would head not over
eight or ten inches from the ground.
Not only does the low head soon pro-
