DAMAGE FROM rURN1p ROT.


A reader Of these notes living at OF
tumWa, Ia, 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
thins 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 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. A reference Of the query to
the plant specialists at the state expert
ment station ELECTS reply which states
that the disease which has attacked the
turnips is due to a species of bacteria
and is the same which sometimes at
tacks rutabagas and cabbages. The
only suggestion made in 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 We'll for
him to raise some other crop on the
plot which he has hitherto had in tur-
nips.

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 well known, and
with view to getting hold of the in
formation desired we subjected an or
ange grower of Redlands, 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 600 orange trees, as
we'll as olives, apricots and other fruit.
The trees are set in the QSchard twenty
feet apart each way, thus allowing
crisscross cultivation. The orchard is
given a thorough blowing in February,
later handling Of the soil being with
disks and cultiVators. AS soon as the
land is ready coWpeas are sown, and
when they have attained a good growth
they are disked under, this sewing 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
in the neighborhood of SIS per acre an
nually The orchard is irrigated every
thirty-fve days during the dry season,
the water being turned on gradually
and allowed to run for about four
days. At the end Of 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 q 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 Sc
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
ed in some orchards in the southern
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 and that which
brings the best price. runs much small
err, about 225 to the box. AS rule
there is good money in an orange crop,
but occasionally as a result Of an I'M
usually large crop it pays to pick only
the best of the fruit, and instances are
known where it 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
$500.

CONTROL OF GRAZING LANDS.

In consequence of the successful OPP
Grafton 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 4OOO0O,O0O 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
unrestrained by law. Commercial in
terests have competed for it's use, with
the result that millions of acres have
been overgrazed and practically ruined
In his last message to congress Presi-
dent Roosevelt said: 1T is probable
that the present grazing value of the
open public range is scarcely more than
half what it once was or might easily
be again under careful supervision.
The wide open policy which has pre-
vailed has resulted in a few of the
more powerful stOckmen Selling con-
troll 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
Tense 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 careful examination and CLASH
fcation of the lands with view to
giving each settler land enough to sup
port his family and no more" The pas
sage Of law giving the control con-
templated promises definite and prac
teal results.

in 1883 but ninety -one farmers in the

were using the silo as an adjunct to
their agricultural operations. Now
they number nearly 100000. While the
first silos were only used by men en-
