Another letter from w. G. M, Of
Mabton, made inquiry concerning the
culture of English walnuts in that
region. Professor Thornber's reply
follows:
1.-THE selection OF proper varieties
is very important, and up to the pres
ent time l have found only two va
rieties that are hardy enough to
thrive well under the conditions of
your locality. These two are the
Fayette and the Mayette. They are
not English walnuts, strictly speak
ing, but are the same species, and
are commonly spoken of as Per
sian,' or English walnuts.' 1t will
be impossible for you to grow in
commercial way grated trees of
these varieties, simply because the
operation of grating is so difficult
that only few are secured, and the
price of grating stock Is very high.
A better way is to secure good first
or second generation trees from re-
liable nurserymen. Theses second
generation trees are grown from
nuts of first generation trees, usually
In Oregon and California. From my
personal experience, l should judge
that you will succeed remarkably
well If you secure good varieties.
Almost any of our soils, If the sea-
sons are not too severe, will grow
English walnuts, providing there is
not a shale, or hardpan. nearer than
three or four feet to the surface of
the ground. understand that we
are obliged to watch these conditions
very closely in this section. | do not
recommend that English walnuts be
sown in your region, Yeti believe by
careful selection of varieties and of
the orchard grounds that they will
succeed in many places"

The experiment station has received
j., letter from J. A. b., of Everett, ask
inc how to exterminate the Canadian
thistle Professor w. s. Thornber,
borticulturist, replied as follows;
"The Canadian thistle is hard
ntant TO fght. but by judicious cut
ting and cultivation you can eradl~
cate It. The plant must be kept from
forming a growth above the surface
of the ground for at least one year
In order that your efforts for It's ex-
termination may be successful. The
plant spreads by underground stems,
or roots, which are thrown up at dis
tances OF from three to six feet from
the parent plant, so merely destroy
ing the mother plant Will not XIII
the weed. A good cutting during
the month of June, followed by other
cuttings in the latter part OF July
and on through August Will cheek
the thistle materially, and may de-
stroy 1t entirely. 1t Is generally
ouite difficult to eradicate the plant
in pastures and fence corners, since
a small residue will be left unde-
stroyed, which will grow during the
following year. There Is no spray
that will kill it. Sometimes II Is
helpful to cut the thistle off about
three inches below the surface OF
the ground, which causes the root
to rot by drying out. In cultivated
fields 1t is advisable to rake out the
underground stems, and allow them
to dry thoroughly before blowing
again.

while not heavy were we'll patronized,
the goods bringing fair prices. The
sale was conducted by an experienced

The sale proved the benefit TO be de-

enabled the farmers to sell goods they
had no use for and afforded medium
OF exchange not to be secured in any

The Shriners Punch.

From the Savannah Morning News.
The lid certainly mustbe on, fol-
the Shriners couldn't get wine in
Savannah to make punch for their
traditional banquet which will be
held at Fitzgerald next Friday.
Try hard though the Refresh
ment Committee did, it could find
no CataWba wine in Savannah, and
for a time it looked very much as
if the dinner given by ALICE Temple
would be "dry." Then the COM
mittee turned it's back on Georgia
and finally made arrangements in
New York for the wine.

the prohibition law is prohibiting

the committee yesterday. eve

it possible to get the liquid for our

With us this pouch is an import
ant part of our menu. 1t is not a

take all she wanted and still not
feel its effects. "
Alec Temple has made every
preparation for a big time at the
Fitzgerald ceremonial session. Po-
tentate QUITS anticipates a splen-
did pilgrimage and Shriners from
all over the state will be on hand.
1t is expected there will be 500
visiting Shriners in Fitzgerald and
a class of fifty novices will be
marched across the burning sands.
There will be the usual street
parade and the Fitzgerald commit
tee is said to have prepared an
interesting program. The Lee
