AGING TREES BEFORE PLANTING.

In my orchard / started to test a
plan that l am working out much more
extensively on my own farm, that of
growing the orchard before l plant it
out, says A. Sulley. Of Connecticut
This is, instead of planting three or
four-year-old trees in the orchard. put
them in nursery row about two feet
apart and trim about the same as if
planted in the orchard. Grow them
two years, pull up, trim again, and
again plant them, giving them more
space, and at the end of tvo more
years take to the orchard 1 have
taken this experiment far enough to
feel sure that l can grow 1000 trees
on a quarter of an acre at less ex-
pense than in the field and have the
latter clear to improve or crop in full.
Do not confound this work with the
old idea of bearing age trees. They
must be handled on or near the farm
where they are to be used, as the
bulk will prevent shipping them. 1t
is exactly the sAnre process as is used
by many ornamental stock growers.

ERRORS ABOUT THE wH,rs
HOUSE.

To the Editor:
l noticed somewhere recently
would not say positively that it was In
your columns-an article on the White
House which contained several mis-
statements.
In the first place it was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909 and that it's first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is, its
hTst occupant was President Adams,
who took up his residence there in
1900.
The original mansion was begun in
1892. In 1914 it was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1918.
Another of the errors in the article
referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House to make it beautifully
white
l noticed this especially because
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.

House, because had just read book.
ret published by firm of ready-mixed
paint manufacturers who also manu-.
facture pure white lead. In that book
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but "the
best and purest of paint could be
used" and said that their pure white
lead had been selected

have been better situated. Out of IS
varieties of grapes that 1 am fruiting,

for commercial purposes. The others
are only good for exhibition or for ex-
pertinent stations. This will hold good
in nearly all kinds of small fruits.

that they are very greatly Influenced

soils may not thrive on the heavy soils.

RIiaht on strawherrie..

Leaf blight, or rust, of the straw
berry is familiar to everyone. The
disease occurs throughout the entire
country, making it's appearance in
early spring in the form of whitish or
purplish spots on the leaves. Event
ually the entire leaf dries up into
a brown mass. 1t is controlled by the
familiar mentioned formula. If attack
has been pronounced the preceding
year the spraying needs to be done
early. After fruit is of clean up beds,

WELL-FED TREES.
They Come Into Bearing Later, But
Last Longer Than Those Underfed.

1t is matter of common observa-
ton that fruit trees on thin soils come
into bearing early, exhibit a strong
tendency toward fruitfulness, for a
comparatively short Ame, and die, and
that trees on good, strong land come
into bearing as rule somewhat later,
grow to much greater size, and live
for very much greater number of
years, says H. j. Waters, director of
the Wisconsin experiment station. 1t
is safe to say that well fed trees may
have more than double the number of
productive years than those which are
underfed usually have.
The fact is Strikingly shown by the
results OF an experiment conducted by
the New Jersey experiment station
with peaches, in which it was OBJ
served that on the unmanured land
the crops secured at the end of eight
years were so small as to very mate
rally reduce the average for the
whole productive period, while in the
case of the MANFRED land the average
for the entire period was not only not
reduced, but very materially increased.
Thus, the crops secured from the ma
nured trees, after those receiving no
manure had practically ceased to bear,
were greater proportionately than
those secured previous to that time.
That is to say, that the properly fed
trees were at their very height of pro-
ductiveness at the time when the I'M
MANFRED trees had practically ceased
to bear
