Sour Cherries For Profit.

My early paintings of cherries were
OF both sweet and sour varieties, but
1 would be much better Off in money
IL I had set ont nothing but the sour
kinds like the Richmond. Such kinds
bear very young and seldom fail of 2
good crop. If starting again. l would
plant nothing but Richmond, Mont
morency and Morrello, which keep up
the season from early to late and sup
ply sure crops OF marketable cherries
which net more per tree than other
kinds, taking one year with another.
After five years I reckon the income
OF an acre would be eight or ten per
cent. on $500. Cherries require less
cultivation and pruning than other
tree fruits, producing as we'll in sod
land OF good fertility as elsewhere.
The fertilizer most needed seems to
be potash. 1 plant them on high, dry
land. They do we'll in poultry yards.

Grain Smuts.

A dangerous parasite of many of
the cereal plants is the fungus that
produces in the grain or head what is
known as smut. There are several
well known kinds of smut, each of
which Is caused by a distinct species
of the fungus.
The greatest foes from smuts in
this country Is from the sinking
smut OF wheat and the loose smut of
oats. A considerable loss is also due
to the loose smut of barley and wheat.
which are more difficult to control
and prevent. They are widely dis
tributed, and though they occur usu-
ally In small quantities the damage
In the aggregate is large. They often
are entirely unnoticed on account of
their earliness and the absence of
any conspicuous sign Of them at har-
vest time.
The sinking smut Of wheat trans
forms only the kernels into smut
balls. which do not break until the
wheat Is threshed, and often remain
intact In the threshed grain. The
loose smuts of barley, on the other
hand, early discharge their spores.
which are blown OF by the wind as
soon as the smutted head comes ont
OF the leaf sheath; they infect the
plant In the towering stage and enter
the embryo inside the ovary before
the latter ripens into seed. An in
fected seed develops a smutted plant
the following year.
The most successful method th,.
far found for preventing these smuts
Is hot water treatment of the seed.
This treatment is described in Bureau
OF Plant Industry Bulletin 152, enti-
tied The Loose SHUTS of Barley and
Wheat" recently issue by the U. 8.
Department of Agriculture. The bull
letin is a report of recent researches
into the life histories of these smuts
and the determination of methods for
their prevention, and is intended for
seed growers and scientific farmers.

Good Roads For south.

The Sun takes a reasonable but
| we hope not vainglorious pride in
seeing its arguments and admonitions
OF two years ago reproduced with en-
| ergy and originality in most OF the
Southern newspapers to-day. The
word now is good roads," and in
most cases the means to that sudden
ly much desired end Is convict labor.
; Georgia, for example, has revoked
her convict leases to private contrac-
. tors, and has become a much more
civilized Commonwealth in conse-
quence. In Alabama the peniten-
tiary Is still a dominating factor in
politics, and We shall perhaps have
TO wait while for wholesome and
practical results. The eyes of most
OF Alabama's Representatives are
turned upon the National Treasury
, as a stimulation of the work of Her
cules, to say nothing Of it's captivat-
ing illumination of themselves, but
In a general way the whole South has
walked up to the importance Of good
country roads, ard little by little the
: leaders OF popular thought are COM
Ing around to convict labor as the
only means to the consummction.
: Already we see in Southern newspa-
pers or consequence grave disserta-
tions on the advantages to prisoners
OF open-air occupations under SUPER
, vision by the State; likewise reminis-
cent regrets over the former dispen-
sation.
1t is easy to see that in many
southern communities they do not
, take kindly to boulevards constructed
, chiefly for the benefit of tourists in
. automobiles. We note in all quarters
, an almost affectionate solicitude for
neighborhood roads that will bring
the farmers into close touch with
their natural markets, but when 1t
comes to mapping out a straight way
from New York to Atlanta or Sayau.
nan or Jacksonville, our observation
Is to the effect that the communities
along the route develop a certain LAM
guor. This sentiment expressed itself
In South Carolina two or three years
ago when the farmers and property
holders refused to tax themselves for
good roads, although they confessed
! they needed them, on the ground that
automobiles would be the chief bene-
, hclaries of the arrangement. The
, authorities were very free to say that
they didn't want to invite automo-
| piles into their territory. The Do
pie were we'll acquainted with the
possibilities Of the shotgun and the
rifle, but they preferred a quiet if a
Doggy life. The road tax may have
been reinstated since, but that was
their feeling at the time, and it IS
conceivable that public opinion may
