Treea For State Highway..

At the recent horticultural meeting
held in Hartford, Highway Commits
sioner James III. Macdonald was one
of the speakers. He not only believed
in identifying the highways OF our
towns by planting indigenous plants
and shrubs, but he advocated, as a
matter Of economy, the planting OF
trees along the good roads. Under his
supervision the past year 1000 trees
have been planted along the State high
ways. He said it added from five to
ten years to the life Of a macadam
road to have it kept in partial shade,
and by the judicious planting OF trees
he saiG thousands of dollars might be
saved to the State. Highway Commits
sioner Macdonald is thus the father Of
a movement which must greatly d to
the beauty and attractiveness OF all
travelled roads in Connecticut. - Nor

Bad Roads Disastrous.

1t is a mistake to assume that road
conditions affect only the farming
classes, because to do so is to destroy
the always admitted fact that all
wealth and all prosperity rest and de-
pend upon agriculture. What injur-
iously affects the farmers is hurtful to
every individual and every interest in
the land. No other class of people are
real producers Of anything Of substan-
tial concern, and while bad roads prim-
arily affect in a disastrous way the
farmers, they seriously affect the
people of all towns depending on trade
with the rural population. Nor is this
all. Bad roads make it impossible for
farmers to get to town sometimes for
weeks; this in turn depresses local
trade; local dealers must reduce their
orders with wholesale trade, collec-
lions are cut off and extensions of
credit become a necessity, else bank
ruptcy in the retail trade ensues. Every
Congressman now sitting at Washing.

as he knows the way into and out or
the capitol. The highway question also

the farmers must haul their products
to the shipping points at times when
| the roads are in fairly good condition,
thus causing congestion Of traffic at
times and partial suspension at other
times. This forces the necessity OF
many more cars and engines than
| would be needed if the traffic e reg
ular and uninterrupted by impossible
roads. The bearing and influence OF
the road question on national finances,
too, is a fact of the utmost Importance
known, felt and understood in every
banking house in the land. No man is
so ignorant as not to know that a large
amount of money is needed in the fall
of the year for "the movement OF the
crops" Of course, this always causes
I more or less stringency in the money
market.

Destroying Bermuda Grass.

W. f. Mel, Omega, Ala want to
know how and the best way to exter-
inmate Bermuda grass. l have about
ten acres of sandy land, and there are
patches of this grass about in the field
eighth acre. In places it chokes out
everything I plant. Please state the
best way to kill it.
Answer-A determined, persistent
effort will be necessary to destroy Ber-
muda grass. Such places as you de-
scribe should be turned yer in winter
just deep enough to get underneath all
the pointed roots. Then run over it
several times with a cutaway or disc
harrow. Then a spring tooth harrow
that will pull the roots to the surface.
A few severe freezes will destroy the
vitality of all exposed jointed roots. If
no freeze rake the roots into piles and
haul them away to where they will do
no harm. Plant these patches in cotton
and cultivate frequently with both cul.
tivator and hand hoes until the cotton
covers and shades the ground. Very
small patches may be dug up, and the
roots pulled out with pronged hoes and
hauled away. Next year plant in cot
ton again, and with clean, frequent
cultivation you may get rid Of it.-At-
lanta Constitution.
A much simpler and more effective
way of getting rid of Bermuda grass is
to sow cowpeas broadcast, using one
of the heavy recumbent varieties like
the Red Ripper. One crop of peas will
usually smother Bermuda grass; two
crops rarely fail to accomplish the de
sired result, besides growing pea vines
for hay is a profitable operation.-Edi.

along the line of SOCIAL and moral we'll
being in the american home. 1t is q
stride of the broadcast craftsmanship,
because the proposition affects the
whole body of the people. A system OF
highways constructed as they would
be under Government supervision
would accomplish more for the people
of all classes than anything that car be
named, a fact emphasized in the strong
support given to the proposition by
some of the ablest men in public life
to-day. 1t is no longer a question that
needs to be argued. Every thinking
man knows that there must be q
change in our highway conditions. 1t
is universally admitted that good roads
are absolutely necessary for the pros
perity and happiness Of the people. It
is just rs widely conceded, because a
thousand times proven over II over,
that we cannot have good roads by To-
cal effort under local systems. And it
is Furthermore an acknowledged fact
hat the solution of the road problem
lies wholly in a great national move
ment. There are some real well mean
ing men of ability not yet in line in it's
favor, but that number is diminishing
as public sentiment in it's favor is in
creasing. A few people yet look upon
the road question as one which affects
mainly, if not wholly, the people of the
rural districts. No greater error could
gain footing. Bad roads hinder and
depress local trade by making it almost
impossible for the farmers to get to
town sometimes for weeks at a stretch.
This depression in turn affects general
trade and transportation, and every
body gets a share Of the evil conse-
quence. The good roads question is
not one susceptible of local OF class
distinction. 1t is National with a big
N, affecting the progress Of the Nation
and the welfare of all the people. Of
course, the farmers are to be benefited,
/ and what class of our people need it
more, or deserve it more? But every
body will be benefited, because every
act that promotes the general welfare
Of the country districts increases the
buying power of those districts and
stimulates the commerce that makes
the existence of cities and towns Il pos
Sibility.

chickens In the Peach Orchard.

The men and the peach tree are
friends to each other, md will yield
double profit to the acre if cuItiva ID
together. The roost houses should be
only large enough for one brood, say
twelve or fifteen hens, and one male,
and should be dotted all over the or
chard in regular order. Have 1t so
the hens with broods forage all parts
Of the orchard, and you will have no
wormy peaches. The curculiO is a
beetle the size C a small wheat grain
of a reddish brown color. 1t a fly,
but it is clumsy and prefers to crawl.
1t cuts a crescent moon-shap ID scar
on the young fruit, in which it deposits
an egg. The egg remains dormant
until the fruit approaches the ripen-
ing stage, when it matches a worm.
The worm subsists on the pulp of
the fruit until it natures, when it
drops out and burrows into the ground
and there remains until the next
spring, when it comes forth transformed
the perfect beetle and proceeds 80 re-
new its work of reproduction. 1t
craWls up the trees and remains there
until the cool of the evening, when it
droLs to the ground and seeks shelter
under leaves, grass or anything to
protect it from the cold during the
night, and is an easy prey for Miss
Hen fth her hungry brood in the early
morning, and she Keeps on from tree
to tree until she cleans them up, and
she keeps down the borer to a con-
siderable extent by devouring the
moth. She is also valuable in the ap-
pie orchard and under all fruit bearing
trees. and there is no other ground so
well adapted to chickens as the or
chard. They find a greater variety
of insects and feed largely On the
waste fruit. IT. E. Shelton, Fayette-

TOPICS or INTEREST TO The RI ANTER, AM0 TRUCK GROWER,

Getting Peaches From Picker to Packer
Two years ago 1 was confronted
with the problem of getting q crop of
peaches from pickerS ana packers.
This problem had never been solved
in this region, but onlT bungled
through by the use of ordinary III
horse wagons.
Although it was my first crop, bung-
ling methods did not meet my ideas,
so / set out to find a better method
and I solved the problem so perfectly
that I want tc report results, after two
years experience, to my fellow grow
ers.
I communicated with the makere Of
steel wheeled low down handy wagons,
and had them make ma a gear light
enough to be handled by n horse.
1t should be built with three-inch
tires, twenty-four-inch front and
thirty-four-inch rear diai 1eter, with
holsters mortised or with yokts for
standards forty-five inches apart. Then
with ordinary humber one inGh for
bottom and three-fourths inch for
sides build box to fit ten inches deep
and ten feet two inches long inside.
This will hold three rows of eight
pick baskets each, and where the pack
house is properly located will handle a
car load of peaches a day with one
good horse and maA.
The wagon is lew enough to pass
readily under the trees, and with the
front bolste built up a little the
wheels will cut under and it will turn
anywhere. No springs will be needed
if the orchard be not rough or rocky
and the soil be mellow. It is so low
that it is very easily and quickly
loaded
1 got my wagon at a very low figure,
and it more than paid for itself by
cash saved in the one crop in addition
to the great convenience and salts
factory service given.
Moreover, I built a pole for it, and
with two horses it has proved itself
so much superior to any other wagon
for all ordinary farm hauling that it
more than pays for itself again be-
tween fruit seasons. Especially for
hauling manure, hay, cornstalks, rails,
rock, etc., it is so convenient that we
never think Of using the ordinary
wagon for that purpose. If the farmer
has no fruit he still needs a handy
wagon.-Dr. +. G. Freeman, Chelsea

Where the South Ia Too Careless.

The South at n time vas conspicu-
Gus for its beautiful gardening; but
since the War of the States the
changed conditions of labor, the neces-
sary curtailment of premises and ex-
penses. and the new absorption in elab-
crate interior decoration of homes have
tended to the abandonment Of old-time
gardening. But the rebound is at hand.
The renaissance is near It accom-
panies prosperity ana is a sign of set
tied citizenship. People plant only
where they expect to abide, and every
tree creates a local attachment. Love
of ones home is but the first leSsur,in
the larger love of ones country, To
make both beautiful should be. not only
the privilege but the patriotic duty Of
each Individual. Our country Is now
old enough to begin to wear the look
of fully developed beauty. and to strive
to rival those lands already renowned.
