trees properly grown. Much land may
be saved by the elimination of varie-
ties that have no utility. Waste lands,
good for nothing else, may be planted
in trees. Desert regions have been re-
claimed by such means. Very rough
land and the margins of streams may
be utilized for the purpose. The edges
of roadways and the lines between
farms and fields may likewise be en-
ployed. The timber is not only orna-
mental, but is a weather break as wen
as a future source Of profit. Nothing
will so beautify the landscape and no
one factor will so modify the extremes
of climate and increase the rainfall.
The forest service constantly issues
reports that may be had free by any
one applying to the agricultural depart
ment at Washington. All interested in
the subject-and who should not be in
terested? - by availing themselves of
this opportunity may thus become post
ed on the scientific method of planting
and preserving trees. Moreover, Mr..
Pinchot advises young men to fit them
selves to become expert foresters,
There are several schools for the pur-
pose-one in Cornell university at Itha-
ca, n Y, another in Yale and others In
other parts Of the country. The forest
service itself takes young men at
small salary and lets them learn the
work. The demand for every young
man so fitted exceeds the supply.
Mr.. Pinchot is warm friend of the
president, with whom he goes on tree
chopping expeditions. He is man Of
considerable wealth. so that the salary
of his office is no object He works for
the love of the work, and in days to
come it well may be that the name Of
Clifford Pinchot will be enrolled among
the benefactors of mankind

BARNS

A queer tale in agriculture comes by
way OF Chicago. 1t is stated that q
half-bushel of sawdust, dash Of
chemical solution and fifteen potatoes
carefully enveloped with the sawdust
will enable the average householder to
grow a bushel of tubers on his house
top or in his cellar within sixty days.
This process has been discovered and
elaborated by w. ID. Darst, of Great
Falls, Mont. Moreover, the grower
will have no potato bugs to contend
with, no turning over of the soil at
certain intervals, and no contest with
worms.
Is termed the "vineless potato from
the fact that, grown under these APP
parently unnatural conditions, there is
no surface vegetation, because OF
which, each potato buried in the saw
dust is enabled to produce at least
twelve normal-sized tubers.
Recently at the Oakland Plaza, in
the rear Of the Oakland Hotel, Mr..
Darst disclosed the methods of grow
ing potatoes by his system. Operating
on the theory that the presence of sur
face vegetation was only q method of
securing nourishment and in reality
Slapped the vitality of the tuber, Mr..
Darst experimental more than six
years and found he could overcome
this seemingly natural course on the
part of the plant by supplying it arti-
ficially with it's needs.
By employing sawdust, peat, straw,
or any other earth product that would
permit of the circulation of air, moist
ure and heat, and by applying solutions
of various fertilizers, discovered
that a single potato would multiply
itself by attaching to itself from
twelve to sixteen other potatoes Of
approximately the same dimensions
without throwing off any of its energy
above ground.

hitting the free access of air and ar

The amount Of space allowed for
the various purposes named on the

Tomatoes For the Cannery..
Raising tomatoes for the canneries
has grown to be quite an industry in
number of States. Maryland leads
the list with about two million cases
per annum; Indiana, with her million
cases, second; followed, in turn, by
New Jersey, California, Delaware and
Ohio. The canneries are permanent
institutions, the demand is increasing,
and there is no reason why the grow
Ing OF tomatoes will not continue to be
q profitable business with many.
Growing tomatoes for a cannery diff
fers from raising them for the market.
In the former case, first of all, large
yield is sought. Early maturity IS of
less Importance since the grower con-
tracts to sell the whole crop 1T fixed
price. 1t is said that good corn land
Is rich enough for tomatoes, although
medium clay loan is preferred ~
many.
Splendid results follow fell or winter
blowing. At any rate land should he
plowed as early in the spring as pos
sible. Plow deep and follow with
earth mulching, that is, maintain a
thin layer Of fine earth on the surface
by shallow cultivation, which will be
Of great value in saving the moisture.
The variety should be such as the
canneries prefer. They will generally
provide the plants at nominal price
to those who grow tomat S for them.
In case it is preferred to grow the
plants near where they are to be set,
they should be started in a cold frame
or on the south sid of board fence
In rich warm soil. The plants will
increase to proper size in four or five
weeks, and should be set out in the
lield in rows about four feet apart, for
ease Of cultivation. Start the cultiva-
ton early, but be careful not to bark
the plants. as that will kill them.
When they begin to branch do not
cultivate closer than the ends Of II
branches. Continue stirring the soil

matter of fact. what are commonly re-
garded as the petals Of the dogwood
are no part Of the floral structure at
all, but merely four large white leaves,
which, during the winter. served as
protective wrappers to the flower buds.
The real tiowe;s are about the size or
shoe-pegs, of greenish color and are
punched several together in small
cluster in the midst Of the four white
leaves, and if observed at all by the
average wild flower gatherers, are

GROWN IN THE GOOD oLD-FAsHIoNED WAY.

until the stalk has grown so heavy as
to fall upon the ground, then cease.
For heavy yields it is essential that
strong land or heavy fertilization be
used. While it is true that on many
Of the soils in the Middle States a re-
munerative crop may be produced with
little fertilization, it is also true thai
on nearly all of these soils a liberal
use OF fertilizers will be profitable.
The tomato plant is a gross feeder,
and especially requires an abundant
supply Of potash. Prof Voorhees,, of
New Jersey, who is authority on such
subjects, estimates that ten tons of
fruit, with the accompanying vines,
would contain fifty-seven poun,.s Of
nitrogen, sixteen pounds Of phosphoric
acid, and ninety-four pounds of potash.
On many of our clay lands phosphoric
acid Is relatively low, and the applica-
ton Of potash is needle to pre- uce the
most profitable crops. The nitrogen
supply is more variable, and can often
be secured by turning under legumi-
nous crop. On Eastern lands, which
have been devote to last years toma-
toes, nitrate Of soda can be used With
a profit. In the Central States, manu-
facturers Of fertilizers have not offered
goods specially prepared for this vege-
table because of lack of demand, due
largely to the ignorance Of same, and
from lack Of knowledge of the require
ments of the soil. But of late both the
growers and the Gamers are asking for
advice regarding fertilizers to be used
on tomatoes A mixture that has been
officially recommended contains:
Nitrogen ........ per cent.
Phosphoric acid... Z per cent.
Potash ..........12 per cent.
using about 500 pounds of this mixture
per acre.
Some experiments Of early tomatoes
seem to indicate that sulphate Of
potash gives them a better quality.
A properly made tobacco fertilizer is
also suited for this crop, and the
potash in it is derived from sulphate.
