A Curious Experiment.

The results of some experiments
made at the New Jersey Agricultural
Experiment Station indicate that
there is no way in which it would be
possible to delay the starting into
growth of orange trees, as has been
proposed at times, by various meth
DDS. If it was possible to keep the
soil around and over the tree roots
very cold, by some artificial means,
still if the air was warm the tree
would come into bloom just as early
as though the cooling material was
not there. The report of the station
says:
When the top Of tree is bent into
a greenhouse it will blossom in mid
winter, when the roots are buried in
snow. Other tests have been made
by piling ice around a tree, and cover
ing it with straw, so as to keep the
roots frozen, but the buds opened at
the proper season. These expert
ments have shown that keeping the
soil cold has no effect ON the time
of blossoming In order to deter
mine the effect of warming the soil
while the top is kept cold, the follow
ing test was made last winter: On
January 22, a peach tree, planted in
box, was so arranged that the box
and roots were in a greenhouse that
was growing tomatoes, while the top
was out DOORS That part of the
trunk that was in the greenhouse
threw out a number of sprouts. On
February g. the tree was moved into
the house, and on March IS 1.-TWO
weeks later) it was in blossom The
roots had been kept in summer tenn
perature, while the top was exposed
to winter; but the buds were not
damaged. Evidently the temperature
of the top, rather than that of the
roots, seems to determine the time
when the buds open

Growing Oranges Forty Years.

Orange growers are usually inter
ested in knowing all that can be
learned about the business in other
places and the prospects. Mr. H. NJ
Stringfellow, writing to Farm and
Ranch, says:
In view Of the deep interest now
taken in the orange and its apparent
success in South Texas, as shown by
the recent illustration of Mr.. Stock

of business if you advertise long
enough to show that you are in the
business to stay Too much cannot
be said Of the value of cumulative
advertising.
Zone must also be sure the breeds
they advertise are popular, such as
the Plymouth Rocks, Leghorns, Mi
norcas and Wyandottes, and as it SO
often happens that customer wants
different kinds of eggs at the same
time, it is more profitable to keep
two or more breeds of different
classes if one can keep them separate
without combining them too closely
as the real profit comes from good,
healthy stock, and not from varl-
ETY. of unhealthy birds crowded into
small yards.
"Beginning in September, eggs are
wanted for broiler raising and Ply
mouth Rock and Wyandotte eggs in
large incubator lots are wanted at
this time. A few months later the
regular Matching season begins and
all kinds of eggs are in demand then
AS there is more profit in selling large
quantities the year around at lncu-
bator prices for pure bred stock than
in selling a limited number of eggs
by the sitting at usual rates, if one
attempts to carry too many breeds
he will find himself unable to supply
eggs from any one breed in sufficient
quantity and will lose much of the
profit. If, however, two or more par
ties are interested in the same enter
prise and fowls are kept on separate
farms, then the matter of supplying
eggs in incubator lots from variety
of breeds becomes entirely possible
1t is disappointing to prepare to sell
eggs by the sitting and receive in
quiries for eggs by the hundred and
be unable to supply them; therefore,
if one intends to make living from
their poultry they will find it far more
profitable to be prepared to sell eggs
in incubator lots as we'll as by the
sitting
Eggs should be carefully packed
for Shipment We know of one man
who went on the theory that the more
lightly eggs were packed the more
carefully they were handled by the
express company The result was a
good many broken eggs We have
received them packed in different
ways. When shipped in the regular
paper egg boxes sometimes nearly
half of them would be broken We
packed them in sp1int baskets, with
excelsior in the bottom, each egg
wrapped with paper and excelsior be-
tween the layers of eggs and on top,
with a cloth sewed firmly around the
top of the basket, and not more than
one or two eggs out of several hum
dred would get broken
IF the seller of breeding stock
and eggs having high grade stock ad-
vertises what he has attractively and
is honest in his dealings, buyers will
be attracted to him instead of sending
outside the state for what they want;
some of hem have already learned
that distance and exorbitant prices do
not guarantee superior quality"

show the other side of the picture,
and warn intending planters not to
overdo the business. 1t has now been
eight years since the last killing
freeze, and yet while some oranges
have been sold during the past three
or four years, the present crop is
the first really paying one On many
of the trees. The present period of
exemption is the longest since 1872,
though for the orange growers en-
enlargement, there was much long
er period just previous to that date,
for when I moved to Galveston from
Houston in November, 1865, there
were quite a number of orange trees
in various yards there in bearing,
though none in Houston. There were
also many large groves along the
Louisiana coast from Sabine Pass to
New Orleans, from which schooner
loads of fruit were shipped in bulk
to Galveston, several boat loads often
lying at the wharves at the same time
All of this had started quite a boom
in orange growing, and among others
had planted 400 trees on the Island
in 1866 But just when some of these
were coming into bearing a killing
freeze occurred in February, 1872,
and though from that year until 1900
| never was without orange trees, in
all that time [ never sold a bushel of
oranges.
The second killing freeze was in
1879, followed by the one in Febru-
airy, 1886, when the temperature fell
to degrees above zero at Hitchcock
where I was then living, and the
whole of Galveston bay was frozen
over [ had at that time 10 Oonshiu
oranges set in 1884, the very first in
Texas, and now known as Satsuma,
which had. been imported from Japan
by Mr.. Amoore of San Francisco,
who had lived in Japan many years
and who wrote me that this orange
had stood a temperature of IL de-
grees in the mountains of California.
No such fall having occurred in Tex
as [ was so overj oyed that | cheer
fully paid him the SIS per tree, and
for the benefit of others wrote for
the Galveston News full and quite
an optimistic article on the Satsuma
as those now appearing in the papers.
Reading that account, Major Dugat
of Beevil1e, also sent for a tree, which
is still living, though instead of a
Satsuma it proved to be a Japanese
Seeding as he afterwards learned by
sending Mr. Amoore an orange, who
wrote him there was no such variety
in Japan
Not discouraged by the freeze of
1886, which killed my ten young Sat-
sumas, root and branch, for nobody
thought that such freeze would ever
occur again, [ sent at once for more
trees and propagated several hundred,
all of which were growing we'll and
in bearing, when in 1890 or 1901 these
were also killed, though I saved a
foot or more Of the bodies by bank
ing with soil in the fall Though get

on the main land.
For the fifth time all the orange
trees in Texas were killed to the
ground except Major Dugat's Japan
seeding, which escaped with about
two feet of it's body, though not
banked. On learning this I went
down to Beeville to see the tree and
make arrangements for getting some
budding wood later to put into sew
eral hundred Trifo1iate trees on
small place which I still owned at
Arcadia, just above Hitchcock My
idea was that if the buds were in
serted several feet above the ground
the trees would remain more dor
mant and consequently be more
hardy, SO [ top-budded about one
hundred thus, and among them six
quite large three-year-old Trifoliate
in which I placed the Dugat b1ds
over three feet above the ground Ir
the fall removed the six trees to
Galveston and planted them in my
back yard where they made a fine
growth and bore small crop of
oranges in the fall of 1893, as did
some of the trees at Arcadia Things
now looked so bright that I deter
mined to set out at Arcadia about
1000 young Dugat trees, which l had
budded, but knowing that February
had been the fatal month in the past,
concluded to wait until the first of
March, wise determination, for on
the 10th of February, 1890, the tenn
perature fell to degrees in Calves
ton, and degrees at Arcadia, kill
ing for the last time every orange
tree in Texas.
Top budding not only proved of
no advantage, but had the very oppo-
site effect anticipated, for not only
were the tops of the six trees killed,
but also the entire bodies, to the
ground, the first time [ ever saw
Trifoliate hurt by cold With that
failure [ washed my hands" of
orange culture and moved to Lam
pasas, but the old mania still haunts
me, for [ am trying the hardy cit
ranges sent out by the agricultural
department. While the immediate
Brownsville country enjoys partial
immunity from killing frosts, still
even there the sap never goes en-
tirely to rest and serious damage to
trees or fruit is caused by COM
paratively slight fall. The climate
of Corpus Christi and the balance of
Southwest Texas is no milder than
that of Galveston with it's forty miles
of water exposure to the north.
The coast country has now en-
joyed a period of mild winters for
two years above the average and it
behooves every grower to bank his
trees as high as possible with earth,
for tree with a foot or so of trunk
will renew it's head much sooner than
one that has to start from the ground
But no enthusiast need expect a
profitable crop from such a tree in
less than four or five years, for both
the Satsuma and Dugat are slow
growers and comparatively dwarfs.
But in addition to frost, the orange
grower must also expect a constant
