DAMAGE FROM TURN1P ROT.

A reader of these notes living at Ot- 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 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 a teacup, when the tops turn yellow and the whole tur- nip rots in 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
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-09-15
in them. A 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 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 well for him raise some other crop on the plot which he has hitherto had in tur- nips.

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 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: Tt 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 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 a 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 a view to giving each settler land enough to sup port his family and no mOre." The pas sage of a law giving the control con- templated promises definite and prac- tical results.

BUTTER STORAGE EXPERIMENTS.

A bulletin recently issued by the dairy division of the bureau of animal industry at Washington gives some in- teresting data relative to the expert ments which have been conducted dur ing the past year in the making aIi1 storage of butter. Last summer 6.O00 pounds of butter made in Kansas and Iowa were placed in cold storage in Chicago. Some of the questions as to which these experiments were expected to give results were (D the effect of pasteurization, @ the amount of salt to be used, (3) temperature of the stor- age rooms, (4) the use of cans hermeti- cally sealed for storing butter, (5) the keeping qualities of good compared with poor butter, and (6) the action of air in contact with butter in storage. The butter was made from five lots of cream, three of which were sour when received at the creamery and two sweet. From each lot of cream two lots of butter were made, one pasteuriZed and the other not. and part of each lot of butter was lightly salted and part heavily salted. The butter was packed in tubs and cans, some of the cans be- ing only partly filled, so as to test the effect of air, A part of each lot of butter was stored at different tempera- lures, and the whole lot remained in storage eight months. The results showed that the butter containing a low percentage of salt kept better than that heavily salted, that butter in full cans kept better than in cans only partly full. and, lastly, that butter made from cream received sweet kept better both in storage and after re moval than butter made from the sour cream.

MONEY IN TIMBER LOTS.

With the very poorest of soft wood boards and strips costing all the way from $25 to $30 per thousand and with the prospect that the next few years will see a decided advance on these prices, the problem of future lumber supply should receive serious and gen eral attention. In this connection we wish to emphasize the recommenda- tiOn of a reader of these notes, whose suggestion as to the planting of cotton wood trees with a view to furnishing a future lumber supply was comment ed upon in this department not long ago. We are led to do so by noting the case of 6 central Iowa farmer who has an acre of cottonwoods planted twenty-five or thirty years, the lumber value of which is today estimated at from $1 GOO to $1 200, and 1t is quite safe to say that inside of twenty-five years more similar tract would be worth a half more than the amount named. For all rougher uses on the farm we see no good reason why cot purposes served by the poorer grades Of soft pine lumber sold today. Higher prices of all kinds of lumber are dead certainty for the future, and now is the proper time for the exercise of horticultural faith and the planting of generous areas for the use of fu- ture generations.

ORANGE CuLTTRE-

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 a 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 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, lateT 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 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 g in the neighborhood of $5 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 irr1gating it is given a 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 ed in some orchards in the southern part of the state in December, it 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 and 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 as a result of an un- 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 tc pay the transportation charges. Or ange groves of the above description are worth from $1,000 an acre up to 1900
