The proper time for the transplant
ing of shrubs. fruit or shade trees de-
ponds largely upon the time of the
rainy season. In the large territory
east of longitude 100 degrees, where
abundant moisture may be counted on
from March to July. the early part of
this period is the best season for
transplanting. depending a bit upon
the latitude. On the Pacific slope and
south Of central Oregon from Novem-
Der till the latter part of February is
considered the best time for this work
as the ground does not freeze to pre-
vent blowing. while the interval
named is the wet season. which in

A lesson that many a corn grower
seems slow to learn is that it is the
freezing Of corn while the kernels con-
tain moisture which is fatal to the
germ. Dried thoroughly, seed corn
will stand almost any low tempera-
lures. On this account every effort
should be put forth to dry the ears be-
fore a freeze strikes them and to store
them for the winter where they will
not gather moisture. As a rule. seed
corn is done for and worthless by
February.

show that there has been an increase

cane product exceeded the beet by

In sections where rodents-rabbits
and mice-abound and are likely TO
damage the young fruit trees by gnaw-
ing during the winter months it is
none too early to be safeguarding them
against such attacks. This may be
done cheapy by wrapping the young
trees at least two feet up from the
ground with several ply of old news
papers. Tar paper and strips of wood
veneer are used. but the newspaper
properly fastened will answer the pur-
pose nicely. In localities where the
snow is likely to be deep and drift
into the branches such wrapping as
described will not furnish protection
except to portions of the trunk Gov
cred; hence an effective warfare by
means of shotgun. ferret. traps and
poison should be waged continuously
against these orchard enemies. To dis
courage the mice shocks of corn and
other litter in which they may nest
should be removed from the orchard.
