One of our friends from Colorado
recently visited a 3O0-acre apple or
chard in western Illinois and saw
something worth mentioning. The
trees were progagated and trained on
a somewhat new fashioned plan. The
story of their growth is something
like this: Northern Spy scions we're
root-grafted on ardinary apple seed
lings, using short piece roots. The
gratis were planted in nursery row.
taking care to set them deep. The
gratis were grown one or two years
in nursery row, according to the vigor
of the tree. II at the end of one
year they develop decided vigor. they
were taken up. IL the tree was rather
weak. 1t was allowed to remain for
another year. When taken up, the
original seeding root was cut away.
and the tree was then reset in
nursery row. 1t may not be generally
understood outside the nursery craft
that in root-grafting apples con-
siderable part of the gratis will throw
out roots from the scion quite above
the original root. Now, when these
were replanted. they we're set back
practically on their own roots and
represented a rooted cutting. In
due time the trees were taken from
the nursery row and set in orchard
They were then good sized standards.
After being established in orchard
they were then top budded. This
work was done either the autumn Of
the same season or the year following
depending again on the growth which
the trees made. The buds we're in
serted in the branches and not in
the stem. so that the forks of the
tree were OF the Northern Spy var
iety. In inserting these buds. care
was taken to set them so that a de-
sirable framework would be develop

None of our Scientific fellows have
yet succeeded in discovering the cause
of tomato blight and the means for
preventing its ravages. 1t has been
found however that where plants are
afforded a certain amount of shade
during the heat of the day there is a
considerable decrease in the tenden-
cy to blight. Persons engaged in the
culture of tomatoes may be able to
save a very large per centage of
their crop by purchasing burlap or
cheese cloth and shading their to-
mato rows. This method of preven-
ton has been successfully carried out
in some places and there is much in
favor of the plan. One peculiarity of
tomato blight is that it is never
known until the plants are ready to
blossom whether or not the crop is
to be effected. About the time the
first blossoms appear the growth of
the plants first stricken with blight
ceases. With the cessation Of growth
the leaves appear to roll, turning
their lower surfaces uppermost. At
the same time the veins in many of
the leaves take on a purplish cast
and this is followed by a gradual
yellowing of the foliage, until the
leaves begin to die, and In the course
of few weeks the entire plant is
dead.

OF INTEREST TO FRUIT GROWERS

within bounds and thus aid in the
cultivation. A friend of ours has a
rather unique system. In addition to
the posts and cross-pieces two poles
and an extra wire are used. One of
these poles is nailed from post to
post directly above the cross-piece.
1t serves to separate the old from the
new wood, thus greatly facilitating
the pruning and harvesting. An ex-
ira wire is strung from the top of
the posts and directly above this is
fastened the second pole. This is
placed on the opposite side of the
post from the first named pole and
serves as a protection for the canes.
Otherwise considerable breakage
would take place over the wire and
this would destroy much of the en-
suing crop and is not profitable bus
mess.

A good many settlers in southern
Colorado are making a great success
of bean culture by growing the Mex
lean pintos or the California pink
frijoles. One of our subscribers
raised one hundred acres Of these
beans last season. He threshed one
thousand pounds to the acre and re-
ceived four cents a pound for the
beans on the cars. Another man at
Fountain, Ell Paso county sold the
product of one acre in pintos for 1927.
The bean crop requires comparative
little moisture. one flooding of the
ground before the seeding and two
while the plants are growing. be-
ing all that Is necessary. The bean
crop gets along with as little water as
anything else grown in this country
and 1t is certainly dry enough this
season to come through without
mould.

LINCOLN, oct. 1.-At the conclusion Of
the republican state committee meeting
last night Chairman Husenetter made a
vigorous appeal for funds. After telling OF
the work the committee was doing he said
in substance:
our only available funds so far have
come from the few candidates at the state
house. Those who composed the majority
OF our convention and placed a county op-
ton plank in thet platform have neglected
so far TO contribute any part OF the ex-
pense money with which to prosecute the
campaign.
You realize this campaign has been par
ticularly heavy and difficult on account Of
large number OF voters having been
alienated by the adoption Of the county
option plank and II has increased our ex-
penses in the prosecution OF the cam
paign."
