C illivation we wish to speak of
theory which he advances that TO
our mind is important: During the
winter months all ranchmcn have
observed the tiny cracks that ap-
pear in the orchard land. Mr..
Moutray says that these extend
much deeper than most people
think and that by cultivation and
the breaking of the continuous
pore formed by the crack in the
soil evaporation is reduced to the
minimum and the ground retains
its moisture. This he claims will
hold back blooming in the spring
and remove much of the danger
of frost. He cites that those
orchards that were damp in the
soring this past wear we're held
back from blooming and without
exception escaped the frost. This
is an item that looks as If il might
be practiced with success by
others. Then again the winter cul-

but he found time to take a drive
With Us over the ranch and il is
putting il mild when We say that
ve were much surprised to see
uhat a year OF steady work has
done in cleaning up and improv-
ing this grea, orchard. To be sure
there was little fruit this year on
accoun, OF the freeze and this has
given time for little more sys-
tematie work in the way of i'm
provcment, but the whole result
is little short of the marvellous.
1t sarule tha, all large orchards
are more or less neglected on ac-
count OF their size. but this was
not the case during the past year
in the Chinn orchards. There
every loot OF ground was given
the same attention. The orchards
are absolutely clean OF weeds. and
even now the disk harrows are
going over the ground destroying
the winter growing weeds. wild
lettuce and the like.
Mr.. Moutray has started the
system of cleaning bitches by the
use of a road grader and with it
he secures the result desired in a
quarter of the time devoted to it
in the past Besides he puts the
ditch banks in shape by blowing
and narrowing to seed with grain
and thus does away with the un-
slightly growths OF sweet clover
and willows that fringe most of

kept orchards. Waste land in

We could extend this article to

1t has never had year when the
conditions point to so large and

condition. The old peach orchard
from which Col. Chinn shipped
1900 boxes OF fruit in 1904, bids
fair to eclipse all records with
the coming season. The trees are
in splendid shape and are heavily
set with fruit buds. We look Tor
some astonishing results from this
orchard the coming year.
The apple trees also have made
heavy growth of new wood. To
our mind it was not a disaster to
lose one crop. The trees have had
a good rest and are quite evil

heavily next season. Above all

works the best of any tool of the
sort we have ever seen. The fur
rows are good and the dirt thrown
out is crushed down leaving the
field perfectly smooth.
In the matter of spraying for
pests Mr.. Moutray believes in
thorough work. AS an example of
results attained he cites a small
apple orchard north of the large
peaches. Here he sprayed once
for aphis and four times for cod
ding moth. The fruit from this
orchard was SO free from worms

Commissioner Blakeslee, in order 10

they have adopted, and the results

eral questions dealing with building
roads, Commissioner Blakeslee has
also paid especial attention to the
matter Of bridges. A public road is
of no practical use unless its bridges
are in proper repair and are SO kept.
Hence the question of bridges and

The Bulletin finally deals with the
question of the various methods en-
ployed in road construction in this
state. The old overseer system is ex-

systems also come in for attention,
such as working the roads under a.

Jackson, Miss, October 3.-Hon. r..
E. Blakeslee, commissioner of agricul
ture and commerce, has issued a bull
letin on good roads problems, contain
ing much valuable data and many
splendid suggestions along this line.
The bulletin will be followed from
time to time with others on various
topics which come within the province
of Commissioner Blakeslees depart
ment.
The present bhlletiH deals with the
questions Of constructing and main
tanning the public highways in Mis-
sissippi 1t also deals with the most
modern and improved machinery for
road building which, machinery of va
rious types and kinds will be on exhi
bition here during the exposition next
month. The bulletin shows pictures
of machinery in operation and shows
also the results being accomplished
by machines as labor savers and as
road builders.
Commissioner Blakeslee will dem
onstrate the effectiveness of this ma
chinery at the exposition SO that the
people of the state may know what
they are losing In delaying the con
struction of good level highways
well drained and well built. He cites
various instances where the machin
cry has been in use, notably in Kinds
County, the home of the seat of gov
eminent of the state, and shows what
was accomplished by thirty horse

graders.
A splendid and useful feature of the
bulletin is table showing the mum
Der of miles Of public road in each
county and showing also by classified
ton, the number of miles of excellent

miles of fairly good second-class ROAD
and the number of miles of inferior

This table shows that there are

Another useful feature of the bull
