TIE START IN ALFALFA.

4 reader of these notes. living at Petersburg. H.. writes asking where he can secure pure and reliable alfalfa seed. In reply to this direct question we would say that the Payne Alfalfa company Of Omaha. Neb., is recom- mended by the Iowa experiment stn- ton us one of the most reliable firms dealing in alfalfa seed. Seed which the writer gdt from 1t last fall gave most excellent stand. In starting a patch of alfalfa only the best seed should be used. and this will come at about So per bushel, which Is the price of red clover seed. Our corre- spondent also wishes to know where he can get red clover bacteria with which to inoculate his soil. In view of the fact that such rank frauds have been perpetrated under the guise of furnishing cultures for the different legaminous crops, we would repeat what appeared in these notes short time ago relative to this subject. In order to clear up good deal of fiction concerning the matter. as we'll as to show up n number of firms that were swindling the public with bogus and worthless bacteria cultures, the agri- cultural department issued a bulletin which states that experiments conduct ed show that no beneficial results can be expected for particular crop if the bacteria of that plant are already in the soil; that but little benefit can be expected If the ground Is decidedly in need of other fertilizers. such as phos- plates. potash or lime, and that prac- tically no benefit can be derived from inoculation of the soil If 1t Is already rich in nitrogen. Experiments carried on at the Iowa station under the super vision of Professor Holden show that very satisfactory results can be ob- tained by thoroughly fertilizing the plot to be used for alfalfa with barn. yard manure and putting 1t in the best of tilth before sowing the seed, har- rowing in as with clover. It is con ceded that there may be distinct ad- vantage in taking soil from a field in which the plant has obtained a foot hold and scattering 1t on the new land at the time the seed is sown, but the importation of nitro cultures from any firm which does not have the O K of the department of agriculture or ones own state experiment station is, as ex- perience of many has proved, a very precarious speculation. Fit the land as you would to produce a bumper crop of corn and SOW seed not later than Aug. 15.

SHADE ABOUT THE HOME.

As between a treeless, sun beaten yard and one covered with a surplus of shade there are few people but would prefer the latter condition, and yet from the standpoint of home sani- tc ction and individual health the former Is far the more desirable. It Is but nat E-al that there should be a prejudice against taking out any of the shade trees about the home which for years have furnished nesting places for feath- cred friends, provided refreshing and cool retreat from summer sun and served to break the force of winter winds. We come to look upon these mute friends with real affection, and no wonder that as a result of such at tachment formed through long years of association we are loath A.cut them out. root and branch. They have al- ways served us well. and 1t is with real twinges of the heart that the day arrives when it is necessary to thin them out and let in the C~rm destroy ing. wholesome sunshine, whose mis- sion as a preserver and restorer of health was never realized in so large measure as today. If the house is completely wrapped in shade, moss clings to the roof and little or no grass grows beneath the trees the time Is ripe for action. Shade Is good and pleasant but from the standpoint Of health too much Is worse than none aI all

CONTROL OF, GRAZING LANDS.

In consequence of the successful op- eration of the grazing policy of the government as applied to the national forest reserves those having supervi- sion of the open grazing lands, which outside of the forest reserves amount to about 40O,0OO.000 acres, are contem- plating the application of the same general policy of regulation and over sight to this enormous area. At pres ent grazing on these lands is wholly unrcstrained by law. Commercial in- tereSts have competed for its use, with the result that millions of acres have been overgrazeI and practically ruined. In his last message to congress Presi- dent Roosevelt said: Tt Is probable that the present grazing value of the open public range is scarcely more than half what 1t once was or might easily be again under careful supervision. The wide open policy which has pre- vailed has resulted In q few of the more powerful stockmen seizing con- trol of the more valuable portions of the public grazing land. including streams. springs and other sources of water supply, with the result that great injustice has been done to other citi zens who under the law are entitled to just as good chance. Not only this, but there have been numerous in- stances of fraudulent entry, illegal fencing. those responsible for the of fense often going so far as to defend their unjust claims by force of arms. An extension of the general forest re- serve policy to the open grazing lands, as is contemplated, will tend to rem edy the evils mentioned and will pro vide a careful examination and classi- fication of the lands with view to giving each settler land enough to SUD- port his family and no more" The pas sage of a law giving the control con- templated promises definite and prac- tical results.

ORANGE CULTURE.

While the mature fruit of the orange tree is a familiar sight in practically every town in the United States, the conditions under which the same is grown may not be so we'll known, and with q view to getting hold of the in- formation desired we subjected an or ange grower of kedlanGs, Cal. to series of rapid fire questions the other day and got the following results: The orchard in question is fifteen years old and contains some GOO orange trees, as well as olives, apricotS and other fruit. The trees are set in the orchard twenty feet apart each way, thus allowing criSScroSs cultivation. The orchard is given thorough blowing in February, later handling of the soil being with disks and cultivGtorS. As soon as the land is ready cowpeas are sown. and when they have attained n good growth they are diSked under. this serving not only to keep the weeds in check. but also to supply nitrogen to the soil. Wa ter rights are bought with the land. the supply for irrigation purposes costing
 
 Eually. The orchard is irrigated every thirty-five days during the dry season. the water being turned on gradually and allowed to run for about four days. At the end O, this time the ground is thoroughly soaked so that one will sink to his shoe tops anywhere in the orchard. AS soon as the surface of the land is sufficiently dry after irrigating it is given Il thorough har- rowing. which pulverizes the surface of the soil and tends to conserve the moisture. The chief enemy of this or chard Is the gopher, which often bur rows near the trunk of the tree and girdles the main roots, resulting in se- rious damage If not the death of the tree. The chief weed pest is the marsh mallow, which seems to thrive remark ably under the conditions which pre- vail in the orchard. While fruit is pick cd in some orchards in the southern part of the state in December, 1t is not ripe. the bulk of the picking being done during January and February. Some of the fruit is so large as to run only ninety oranges to the box, but the most popular size ana that which brings the best price runs much small CT, about 225 to the box. As a rule there is good money in an orange crop, but occasionally us a result of an un- usually large crop 1t pays to pick only the best of the fruit. and instances are known where 1t has taken more than the price received for the orange crop to pay the transportation charges, Or ange groves of the above description are worth from $1.000 an acre up to $1 500.

THE PRICE roo HIGH.

z In few weeks now the great public school system of the country will be in operation again. We would say word to the parents of many a bright and ambitious pupil. It Is that rather than be encouraged to take up extra bur dens of school work during the years between twelve and sixteen the pupil and this applies more particularly to the daughter in the home-should be al- lowed to take but the regular work. and less than this If the condition Of health requires 1t. The cases are of all too frequent occurrence where an ambitious son or daughter has been urged beyond the limit of physical and nervous endurance simply to satisfy the shallow vanity of an unwiSe and shortsighted parent in the desire to see the child at the head of the class. A weakened vitality, ruined eyesight and a nervous breakdown are considera- tions which prove beyond question that the game doesn't begin to pay the can dle. The boy possessing a somewhat larger endowment of animal spirits and having less ambition and pride than his sister will fire his books into the corner when the point of nervous tension is reached and go out of doors and refresh his tired spirits. It is only the ''tomboy" girl who will imi- tace her brother in this respect, and fortunate she is If endowed with his feelings. There's not high school, college or university Tn the country but has Its quota of human sacri- fees due to this abominable system of examining. stuffing and overstudy. As the children in the home grow to ma turity every care possible should be exercised with view to giving them strong and robust bodies, their intel lectual attainments being of entirely secondary consideration when got at a sacrifice of health. IL is of mighty lit tie satisfaction to the student when he finishes his school or college course to realize that In return for a store of more or less useless book knowledge be is doomed to lifelong invalidism and incapacity. Education is a valuable asset. but it is dearly acquired at an expense of physical bankruptcy.

DAMAGE FROM rURNIP ROT.

A reader of these notes living at Ot- tumwa. la, writes asking information relative to blight or disease that has attacked his turnip crop for the past two years. Our correspondent states that he sowed his turnip seeds early in August In rows two feet apart and thfns with hoe to six inches apart in, the row. He keeps them free from weeds and says they seem to do nicely. until about the size of a teacup, when the tops turn yellow and the whole tur- nip rots In a short time. While our friends letter gives practically no data relative to conditions of soil or location, the trouble would not seem to be found in them. X reference of the query to the plant specialists at the state expert ment station elicits a reply which states that the disease which has attacked the turnips Is due to species of bacteria and Is the same which sometimes at Jacks rutabagas and cabbages. The only suggestion made fin the way of preventing the trouble Is to SOW fresh seeds grown in another locality upon clean soil not previously used for tur- nip culture, and keep them away from cabbages as far as possible. Care is urged in the matter of securing clean turnip seed. as the disease has been known to be conveyed through the spores of the bacteria being attached to the seed of the turnip. If our cor respondent cannot secure a new piece of land handily it would be well for him to raise some other crop on the plot which he has hitherto had in tur- nipS.

Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture lately expressed surprise that some of the farmers of the coun- try had not gone into drug plant culti- vation. The United States last year bought $64,0OO,OO0 worth of drugs and dyes, and he states that nearly every dollars worth of 1t could have been secured from plants and weeds grown in the United States. Camphor, which is now SIPS per pound and gives prom ise of being S2 next year. Is controlled exclusively by Japan. Camphor trees STOW and will do we'll in the warmer sections of the south. Licorice, which is imported to the value of S500.000 to S1.O00,000 will grow as far north as Pennsylvania, while paprika pepper, a native of Hungary; belladonna, wormseed. poke root, goldes seal and 2 number of other native weeds may he cultivated with greater profit than many of the staple farm crops. as the demand for them is steady and con- stautly increasing. -.
