Estimates Which have been made
by careful students Of crop conditions
for the present season place the yield
OF wheat at the highest figure save
one in the history of the country and
the corn and oats crops as the largest
which the country has ever produced.
This has tremendous significance in
the minds of all who appreciate the
connection between bumper crops and
good times. Never before have these
three great staples reached so high a
figure in the same season. The result is
In part due to exceptionally favorable
weather conditions. including abun-
dant moisture and freedom from
blight. but also to a more intelligent
and careful type of agriculture. about
which much is being said these later
days. This latter factor is one of the
most hopeful signs of the present as
the possibilities of the American ranch
and farm wisely handled are only just
beginning to he realized.

The extent of the use of chewing
gum among the people of the United
States is illustrated by the fact that
the importation of "chicle" in 1903
chiefly for use in the manufacture OF
chewing-gum, amounted to more than
1000, 900 pounds. This article
is obtained in southern Mexico from
the trunks Of the sapodilla plum tree
and the importation of this gum during
the last decade has amounted to about

cured and thoroughly dried and cured
before heavy freezes take place. While
at the job 1t Is well to secure more
than one needs for himself, for some
hapless fellow in oil probability will
not take the necessary precautions and
next spring will be anxious to get the
surplus seed and pay a good price for
1t. The seed ears should be hung in a

exposure preferable. When thoroughly
dry 1t may be stored in u dry place. a
conventional arrangement being to tie
the ears In strings Of about twenty
ears. each being fastened at the mid
die and crisscrossin9 the one above it.
The strings Of ears should then be
hung up where the mice cannot get at
them and where they will not draw
moisture during the winter months.
To be on the safe side 1t is we'll to
store the ears where they will not be
subject to severe cold In the fall Sc
lection of seed ears not only should the

cred. but its shape. outward appear

1t should be even rOwed. and the ker-
nels should cover the tip as completely
as possible. A detailed study Of the
kernels is best delayed until next
spring at testing time. when ears hav-
ing kernels which are not plump to the
germ end may be discarded along with
those which do not show enough vital
ity. Professor Holden, the great corn
expert. holds that II all seed ears were
picked and hung up to dry by Oct Is
more would be done to increase the
yield OF corn than would be possible in
any other way.

HOW HE SAVED HIS CROP.

Last spring at blossom time, when
growers in many sections Of the west
were having the time Of their lives try
Ing to save the prospective crop Of
fruit by making smudges and burning
fire pots and pitch pots and what not
IN their orchards. fruit ranch owner
near Medford, In the Rogue river valley.
In southern Oregon, having tried all
of these plans and failed. decided that
what was needed most in his orchard
to keep the blossoms from freez-
ing was just plain heat. 80 he built
some fifty small fires Of FIR cord wood
in about nine acres nights when the
thermometer dropped to the danger
point and by this means succeeded in
keeping the temperature up some II
degrees. The fuel and labor cost per
night Of this protection was S., or
about So cents per acre. An interest
ing feature Of this case is the fact
that the fires which were kept burn
ing in this orchard saved the blossoms
in orchards on three adjoining sides
fence. That the ranchman in question
was paid for his pains is shown in the
fact that there are now hanging on his
trees fror. $500 to 1000 boxes of
choice New:owns. Spitz and Ben Da-
Wis. which will net him from 81 to S.
a box. So we'll did this simple plau
work that others should know Of it.

SOME FEEDING EXPERIMENTS.

The Illinois experiment station has
been making some exhaustive tests i'll
the feeding Of steers. While the full
details of he experiments have not
been made I,ublic. some general results
have been announced. One conclusion
arrived ut il that the quantity Of the
feed given affects materially the pro
portion of the feed digssted by the ami
mals-that IL. the more feed given the
less proport. Onately was digested, one
lot, receiving 20 per cent less Of the
same food than another. making per
cent larger gain In flesh. Another fact
demonstrated was that beeves can be
fattened upon a relatively low protein
ration. which means economical meal
production. This one point Of econonl-
ical use of feed in fattening operations
is one that should be given attention
by every feeder, who without much
extra trouble could carry out much
the same tests as those indicated abovc
and prove the value Of them from his
own experience.
