OF the past. The area upon which

trees when not in fruit, forgetting
that the fruit buds are formed in
June and July for the following

the strawberry and still some people
allow their fowls to pasture their
strawberry beds all winter and then
wonder why they have no fruit the
next year. The man to grow ap-
pies is the man who loves them.
Don't be stingy of your land, spray
and smudge and handle the fruit like
eggs. A man near Topeka paid $500

states that the spring OF the present

As a matter OF course portion
of the yearly apple crop must be put

state of Idaho has law placing a
penalty Of $500 on the shipper who
sends a carload of wormy apples out
of the state. This congress discussed
the matter of a similar law for other
states.
There seemed to be some fear that
the railroads will not always grant
proper transportation privileges and
an instance was given where one
shipper could not obtain cars for
shipping his holding and thereby lost
$4,000. The speaker said 1t was
Just pure cussedness. A multitude
of interesting facts were given by the
various speakers. dealing with loca-
ton Of orchards. quality and slope

the various markets and seasons and
manner of handling. packing and
marketing. Women are the best
fruit packers because they are more
gentle. Cold storage plants in tran
sit are a necessity. A dollars worth
OF apples is better than dollars
worth OF beef steak. There should
be more direct buying and selling
and the middleman must be cut out.
Mr. Richardson stated that he con-
sidered the following the best apples
for commercial purposes: black Ben
Davis. Winesap. Jonathan. Deliciou,
apple and Grimes Golden. MIR. Bu-
chanan suggested that orchardists
should raise more Bartlett pears as
they give much better returns than
apples. His suggestion OF a better

CORN BULLETINS ISSUED.

The United States Department of

specialists in agricultural education
and are entitled School Lessons on
Corn" and School Exercises in Plant
Production" These bulletins are based
on the sensible assumption that the
child is primarily interested in the
practical and experimental side of any
science and that any general interest
In agriculture will be the result of
some special agricultural experiment
in which lie may be engaged.
Three thousands boys i'm South Car
olina this year raised an acre of corn.
Many of them will receive the diploma
awarded by the State board of educa-
ton for producing seventy-five bushels
per acre. We confidently expect five
thousand boys to take part in the corn
contest next year. the air is full of
corn talk. The teachers of South Caro-
lima should have a part i'm extending
this movement and should use this
acute special interest as means of
teaching general agriculture.
Through the kindness of the depart
ment of agriculture and the courtesy
of Senator Tillman, Mr.. w. *. Tate.
State supervisor of elementary rural
schools, has 5000 copies of these bulle-
tins for distribution A supply has
been sent by him to each county sup

may have copies of these bulletins by
