box containing 1900 cubic inches as a
special box. All we ask is to be let
alone in what so vitality concerns us.
1t is now believed that Congress will
heed the voice of the West in this
matter.
The one question now uppermost in
the minds of the apple growers is,
What can I get for my apples this fall?
1 am not going to try to answer that
question but I can throw some light
on the solution of this matter. There
is no question in the mind of any well
informed person but the condition and
size of the apple crop have very i'm
portant bearings on the question of
price. If the apple crop is large and
the condition good the price will be
low; but on the other hand, if the crop
Is light and the condition in many To-
calities is bad, prices will rule high.
1t goes without saying that the buyers
would like to make the impression
that the crop is large and in fine con-
dition-if they could but this cannot
be done unless by 'the violent aid of
art, invention and allegory." After the
meeting of the International Apple
Shippers Association in Buffalo early
in August, the Fruit Trade Journal of
New York in it's issue of August IA,
has this to say editorially about the
condition of the apple crop: "The sig

off the big limbs and keep my trees
low-headed. In doing this we do not
split the big limbs over two inches in
diameter but use what we call bark
crafts. In this method we have the
scions only on one side and then by
splitting the bark with a sharp knife
we put four CRAFTS around the outer
edge of the stock, they must be tied
and then the waxing must be done as
before described One of these CRAFTS
may be all that is needed in giving
the tree a good top but put in the
gratis as here directed and l will tell
you what to do little later.
If the grating is done as here di-
rected nearly every scion will grow.
Let them grow without molestation
during the first summer. But many
sprouts will grow out from the stock
near where the CRAFTS are inserted and
along down the stub for foot or more.
These sprouts are called robbers" for
a very good reason-they rob the
scions that have been inserted by US
ing up the elaborated sap and thus
hinder the growth of the scions and
also the healing process. This healing
is done by the use of what Is called
"baste," which is prepared in the
leaves and carried there by the down
ward and outward flow Of the elabo
rated sap. Any one by careful obser-
walton will see that at the junction OF
the scion and the stock the healed
over limb will be larger in few years
than at any other part of the limb
The haste thus gathered about the
wound is longer in it's fibers than any
where else in the limb, hence, the limb
is larger and stronger at the point Of
union than anywhere else. Hence, the
limbs of top-grafted tree will usually
break anywhere else easier than at
the point of union after the healing
process is completed. A tree is not
like a mans leg which is weaker
where it is broken after the healing
process is completed but tree may
have a limb entirely cut off and new
top started and be stronger at the
point of union than anywhere else.
In the case of cleft grating, If all
the scions grow, the top will be too
thick. So the next spring, or at the
longest. the second spring after the
grating is done, the extra gratis must
be cut out. But do not cut too close
to the original wound but just above
the enlarged part Which of the gratis
to cut out, If both grow, can only be
determined by the shape of the tree
after this thinning is done. In the
case of the bark CRAFTS usually we cut
off all but one. The robbers must be
kept off for period of four or five
years when they will cease to make
their appearance. Any fruit grower
who expects to make success of his
work must be a CRATER in horticul-
tural sense but it is to be hoped never
in political sense. My sons are
grafters in a good sense but God for
bid that they should even be in the
bad sense.

to the fact that President Dumas and

The better plan is to select the ideal

brush to the stigma of the half opened

What Southern Soils Can Do.

A farmer writes that he expects
two and one-half bales of cotton per
acre. Now, nine cotton farmers out
of ten in the South, after getting their
land to do that. would want to plant
that land in cotton again. and would
say that they could not afford to grow
corn on 1t. But this man wisely says
that that land goes into corn the COM
ing year. and he hopes to make 100
bushels per acre with his carefully Sc
lected seed. for he has improved his
cotton and corn both by selection.
And yet hundreds of farmers write
asking fSr fertilizer formulas for
making land that only makes ten
bushels OF corn produce fifty bushels.

cotton by improving the land gradu-
ally and selecting their seed in an in

Storing Cabbage.

Various methods of storing winter
cabbage are used with good success.
The late fiat Dutch is the best keeper
that can be grown, and it can be kept
in a great variety of ways without
material losses. When cabbages are
grown on large scale storage houses
are. designed and built especially for
the purpose. These houses are usual
ly constructed with double walls, with
sawdust in between them. Many
growers store them in cellars, barns
or dig trenches into the ground and
cove them up with oak leaves or
straw. Burying Is the best plan with
some, and there is no better way to
preserve cabbage in a fresh, crisp con-
dition. When burying. an excellent
plan is to line up on the surface of
the ground three rows of heads.
turned upside down, either pulling or
cutting the heads close to the ground.
I prefer the latter method. as it is
much more pleasant to handle the
croD when there is no dirt to contend
with. After lining up the rows, plac-
ing the heads close together. with n
team and plow draw two burrows,
throwing the soil as much as possible
on the cabbage. Then give them the
finishing touch with shovels. placing
about six to eight inches of soil on
the heads
After the ground is frozen to the
depth of an inch or two, cover with
straw or leaves to the depth of eight
inches or more. We have followed
this plan with good success. If the
ground is we'll drained and the cab
bage are sound when buried, not a
head will be lost. And the fat Dutch
will require very little trimming
when dug up. The cabbages which
are sold early in the winter are stored
in the cellar and barns. When stored
in building ventilation must be CIV
en-, and it is best not to store too many
In one bulk. 1t is a mistake to delay
harvesting the winter crop until the
leaves have been frozen hard several
times, and when there is danger OF
unbroken winter weather. In our
latitude we do not consider it safe to
postpone harvesting later than the
first week in November. One thing
that 1 will add is, that if few rats
happen to get into trench filled with
cabbages they can do lot of damage
between the time the cabbage are
stored until they are dug up again.
So this must be guarded against. 9th
erwise the grower will be the loser.
Five years ago we lost about $50
worth of cabbages by the rats being
in the trench all winter. and when we
were ready to dig up the cabbages we
found nothing hut leaves all rotted.

Field Selection OF Seed Cor, and To
bacco Seed

Selecting seed corn in the field is
1ar better than selecting simply the
best ears in the bin in spring, provid-
Ing the selection is wisely done. The
difficulty in the general field crop is
that the plants that we ind there
which come near our ideal Of what a
corn plant should be, will have had
most OF their grain set by the pollen
from inferior stalks all around them.
and the resulting crop will rarely fol-
low the type of the plants the seed
came from. Still, by selecting seed
from prolific plants that have ears
hanging down from a short but slen-
der stem, we will be more apt to get
prolific corn than by taking the big
snowy ears in the bin, for they are
the single ears on the plant and usu-
ally borne high up from the ground,
and you will get a far better yield
from ears selected from ideal plants,
even II the ears are not SO snowy as
those you would take in the bin.
But now is the time to determine
that another season you will plant
patch by itself for seed, and will see
that no barren stalk, or ungainly
plant with an ear out of reach. shall
ripen pollen. Then by taking seed
from the best plants you will have
them set by the best pollen only.
Practice this for a few years, taking
the very best for a new seed patch
and the next best for the crop, and
