2 N regard to the letter of j. F.
Bryan, of Portage, referred to


- me for answer, l take it for
granted that Mr.. Bryan has the right
kind of SOIL to start with; that is,
a deep sandy loan, with no tenacious
subsoil If he has not, his first care
should be to make it SO. Any mod
erately rich. land, hill, bottom or bench
land is good for walntits, but it must
be deep; that is, there must be no
hard subsoil that will prevent the. top
root from going down. Right here let
me impress it upon the would-be
planter that the roots of the walnuts
are by far the greatest part of the
tree and the tap root will go down
much farther than the top will reach
up, and. the subsoil must be such that
it will not interfere with it's penetra-
tion deep into the earth. Therefore,
il your subsoil is compact, first dig
the hole where the tree is to be plant
ed, then take a steel bar, an augur
or anything to punch "a hole down.
and don't be afraid it will go too deep
Put stick of dynamite down and
break up all distractions, then plant
your trees. This will help to conserve
the moisture and issa good way to do
with all fruit trees. My advice is:
Never plant tree unless you do this
1t will pay the largest returns.
Mr.. Bryan asks for the name of a
reliable man who grows nuts to SELL
There are lots of them, but very few
that have grated trees, land the only
nuts that one should plant are those
from grated trees. The Seeding nuts
will sometimes produce trees that will
bear early and just as fine a nut as
those from grated trees, but not all
of them. They are often slow to bear
the majority are. l would rather be
sure of what l planted, as fifteen to
twenty-five years is long time to
wait Trees from nuts from grated
trees generally bear in five to seven
years, and the same is the case with
grated trees, but they come high and
are hard to get at any price.
Senator A. High, of Vancouver,
Wash, has two Mayette and two Fran
quette grated trees that sometimes, he
tells me, produce 400 and more bar
rels OF nuts per tree, but none of those
are for. sale. | would give $3.50 a
pound II | could get them, but he
plants all and none other, and has
been selling the trees at % cents.
Mr.. High has also seventy-five seed
ling trees, a great many in bearing,
that produce very fine nuts, just as
good as those from grated trees, but
he does not plant them. But sells
the nuts at a considerable advance
over the market price-and l often
thought those were planted by un-
scrupulous men and sold for second
generation trees. If not, why pay
more than market price?
Mr.. Bryan may be able to get trees
from Mr. High, and he will then be
reasonably sure of success, provided
ne gives them thorough cultivation. I
advise him not to grow pears in with
nuts, but cultivate to egetables-peas,
Deans, ETC., but under no conditions
grain. Plant 40 feet each way and as
often as possible fertilize with stable
manure Always remember that care
and cultivation, with plenty of manure,

bring success with walnuts, as well as
vegetables (they respond promptly to
kindness).
My advice to those intending to
plant walnuts is to get the Franquette
The Mayette is equally as good a nut
and bearer, but does not separate as
easily from the husk and has a thinner
shell, therefore, is more easily broken
I hope Mr.. Bryan and others may
find in this all the information they
require, but | will be always pleased
to answer any questions on this
subject.

Method of Gro wing Sugar Beets.

1t is difficult to lay down general
directions and rules for growing sugar
beets applicable to all localities and
conditions. Often expert sugar-beet
growers, at public meetings and
through the agricultural press, give
minute directions covering all the de-
tails OF the intricate process. Others,
equally we'll versed in the process of
growing sugar beets, get into argu-
mentS and disputes as to the right
method. In such cases each may be
correct in measure. The occasion
for such disagreement lies in the fact
that each person has in mind the right
method for a particular locality or set
of conditions. A careful study of the
different sections of the United States
where sugar beets are grown will lead
to the conclusion that there is no
single road to success in growing sug-
ar beets. Every locality has settled
conditions which will materially modi-
fly any set of methods that might ap-
ply TO some other locality. There are
some settled rules, of course, but to
a great extent the various agricultural
districts of this country will have to
work out each for itself the right
method
There can be no general fixed rules
regarding the kinds of fertilizers and
their application. General principles
are all right when accompanied by the
reasons underlying, but must always
be modified to meet local conditions.
With the development of the indus
try in all the sections which have the
necessary conditions, and the acquire
ment of ample experience, both by
the farmers in the production of beets
and by the manufacturers in the max
ing of sugar, there will come many
improvements and eventually a cheap
ening of production, a result of great
importance to all concerned in the
success of the industry, because event
ually the beet-sugar industry of the
United States will have to meet a
sharper competition with foreign sugar
producers.
There are some things settled, how
ever, about growing sugar beets. 1t
will generally be conceded that the
ground should be plowed deep, and in
most instances sub-soiled. Before the
seed is planted the ground must be
thoroughly pulverized by narrowing
and by rolling, even if the surface has

The Environment of the Plants.
(J. G. BOultOn, KitSap County

~. U. BOulCOn, k1CSap county.
With the approach of spring there
is, perhaps, no question relating to the
farm that seems SO little understood,
or so misunderstood, as the spOntane-
GUS production of weeds, or rather the
determining of the plant by environ
ment. Nature may be said to abhor
nakedness, and the effort to cover even
the most barren soil is both interest
ing and Instructive The majority of
dwellers in the country have had at
some time opportunity to observe ma.
ture's rotation of crops; how, upon
the destruction of certain forests, 9th
er varieties of trees and plants i'm
mediatelys succeed, or upon the plOwing
of prairie4sod the nature of the vege-
tatiOn spontaneously changed. The
ancient solution TO the question was
that birds carried seeds from one dis
trict to another, dropping them, to re-
main until certain changes favored
their growth. The scientific men some
times explained the matter thus,
though it is question if many intel
ligeht tillers of the soil believed it,
In the first place, the majority of seeds
will not remain long in the ground
without decaying, as is the nature of
all vegetable matter How long GER
tain seeds will remain in the ground
and still retain their vitality would be
an interesting experiment, but l think
it is safe to say that only under the
most favorable circumstances Will or
dinary seeds remain for any consider
able time in the ground without de-
caying.
Again, it must have occurred TO most
people that the birds worked under
remarkable cOincident circumstances
when they invariably dropped certain
seeds and nuts in certain localities.
For instance, cut down the pine for
ests and the beech and naples grow
up; plow up the northwestern prairie
and, presto! change! there is a luxuri-
ant crop of pigweed, and yet, did any
one ever see a pigweed growing on
the virgin prairie, or a pigweed seed
in the soil? 1t matters not where You
plOw, for hundreds of miles there is
pigweed; given suitable conditions.
The birds must have been busy, sys-
tematic and careful not to miss one
foot of prairie in thousands of square
miles, and where did they get the
seed? And how did it go through their
crops undigested? Moreover, you may
take a powerful microscope and,
venture to say, you will never find
seed. You take the young plants Just
as they come through the ground, but
no seed is attached to the root From
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-02-15

"
and where is the place of their hid
ing? Where did the beech and maple
come from, which succeeded the pine
forests Of the east, or the ubiquitous
bramble which follows the path of the
fire?
Take in a box few handfuls of
earth from the vicinity of the manure
heap, where rotten manure has lain,
the richer the better for the richness
is life, or the nearest to life we can
find "protoplast." Examine your earth,
with microscope preferably, 20 be
sure no seeds exist in it, put your box
of earth in window, SOW cabbage in
it or other seeds, or SOW nothing. With
heat and moisture you will soon have
weeds enough, generally two varieties
the round leaf and the pointed leaf.
Carefully dig up your weeds and ex-
anime the roots You will find, not
seeds, but a white speck of mould.
Noticing carefully, with microscope if
possible, though it is plain to the
naked eye, you will see that in some
cases this speck of mould or proto-
plast, is attached to a grain of sand,
and sometimes to minute particle
of decayed vegetation, as wood or
straw, etc. The material to which this
mould or protoplasm adheres deter
mines the nature of the plant. That
is the vegetable or mineral environ
ment.
This is a simple experiment and one
that a child can undertake, although
the possibilities are great enough to
encourage the investigation of the
scientist. 1t is the environment which
determines the variety. The germ of
life in the grain of wheat is the same
as in the cocoanut or the potato, the
bramble seed or the seed of the pig
weed. The seed is not the life, but
the environment of the life. Life is
practically everything; the damp rock
is a favorable environment for moss,
the wheat kernel for wheat, the egg
for the chicken. The seed is the per-
feet environment for it's plant, but
apparently there are other environ
ments that are almost or quite as per-
feet as the seed itself. When this hap
pens we have a spontaneous growth
of weeds, and it happens very often. /
would trespass on your space and pa
tience to describe how the river mud
deposited on the bank Immediately
grows a round-leafed spreading plant
which the second year changes to
grass, how the rush changes as the
swamp dries, how the bluebottle fly
is produced from the eggs of the house
fly deposited on meat how the crab
like cheese mite is produced, through
two generations from the common
house fly; how trees succeed trees, and
grasses succeed grasses; how growing
oats, as well as wheat, will change un-
der peculiar changes of environment,
and, above all, how weeds, certain
local weeds, appear to spring from the
decayed manure of animals fed on
clean clover and timothy, and yet no
clover or timothy grows.
For thousands of years picture
makers on wood, stone or canvass have
depicted the horse and other animals,
