The secretary was accompanied

Equity and Farmers Union.

a. joint convention of the Farmers
Union and the American Society OF
Equity Is to be held in st. Louis, be-
ginning May and continuing till May
Is. The Farmers Union has extended
the invitation which has been accept
ed by the directors of the Equity So
ciety. 1t is hoped to make the con-
vention one of the largest gatherings
of the kind ever held anywhere In the
United States, and farmers from all
parts of the country will be invited to
attend, including those who are not
members of either association.
In numerical strength these two
bodies represent the principal farmers
organizations now in existence. The
membership of the Society of Equity
Is mainly in the North while that of
the Farmers Union is largely in the
South. Both are working along prac-
tically the same lines, the chief end
being an effective cooperation among
the farm. The advisability and the
possibility of amalgamation will be
considered at the st. Louis meeting.
If merger should not be effected, it is
likely that efforts will be made to

tending the power of the respective
bodies.
In the event of consolidation, the
resultant organization would be well
nigh nationwide. Should there be
obstacles to a combination of forces
an amicable division of territory prob
ably would be the advantage of both
bodies. The Society of Equity has
had a State organization in Kentucky
for number of years, with large
membership. The Farmers Union is
of more recent establishment in the
State, but has made material progress
i'm some localities.
The pooling idea appears to have
come to stay. In one form or anoth-
er, 1t IL in practice in various parts Of
the United States. AS an economical
method of handling the products of
farm, orchard, garden and vineyard,
and as a means of procuring the best
returns, it appeals strongly to pro-
ducers. The joint meeting of two
large organizations devoted to the
pooling plan will be of interest as in
dicating the progress that has been
made, or is likely to be made, toward

A CORN BREEDING PLOT.

- SOnN -R@@DllNG ~
IL would be well IL every farmer who
is seriously engaged in the growing Of
corn had few acres of the best soil
on the place as q corn breeding plot.
On such plot could be raised the
seed needed for the general crop, while
valuable tests in determining the pro-
ductivity of various types Of corn
could be carried on and would not
only give q new interest to the farm
operations. but would have direct
bearing on the financial consideration.
The field set apart for this purpose
should be by itself and separated from
THE main field of corn by twenty or
thirty rods, which would reduce to a
minimum pollination of the breeding
plot from the main field. IL Ii Is de-
sirable to produce seed of especial
vigor by cross. rather than self fertil-
ization Of the stalks in the breeding
pilot, this may be done by detasseling
ALTERNATE rows and selecting the seed
for the ensuing year from those stalks
from which the blossoms (stamens)
have been removed. Another instruc-
N tive experiment IL planting given
number Of hills with kernels from
several desirable types of ears, the
seed from each ear being in a row by
itself When the corn from such ear
rows il measured at harvest time a

Demonstration WOOdlOt Forests.

In order to promote by object les
sons the practice Of forestry through
out the State, the Board Of Forestry
makes an offer to woodlot owners
that should meet with general ap-
proval. Under the plan proposed any
one interested may apply to the State
Forester, Baltimore, Maryland, for an
examination of his woodlot with a view
of making it one of the model demon
stration forests. The State Forester
will then examine it and If found suit
able for the purpose, a plan of man
agement will be submitted to the own
CT for his acceptance or rejection.
There is no expense to the landowner
on account of the examination. If the
plan l. mutually satisfactory, work
begins. The general scheme is indi-
Gated by the following extract from a
circular that has just been issued
"Since the object of this work is to
demonstrate practical forestry in all of
its phases, the aim will be to treat
each woodlot in the most approved
manner to secure its greatest pro-
thereby meeting the needs
Of the owner and showing his neigh
bors, who may be similarly situated,

general plan will be for the forester
TO outline the work IN detail and to
organize and superintend it, when pos
sible. Where Trimmings and improve
ment cuttings are to be made he will
mark the trees to be cut; where fire
lines are to be constructed ne will lay
them out; where plenting is to be un-
dertaken he will locate the acres to
be planted and recommend the species
of trees to be used and show how the
planting is to be done and 50 with all
parts of the work that may be agreed
upon. The owner will be required to
furnish al the labor that may BE-
needed and he will have full control
of the disposal of the products from
the wood1ot, and receive all revenues
derived therefrom. In consideration
of the advice and assistance given and
In order that the woodlot may serve
its full purpose as demonstration
forest, the owner shall agree TO carry
out iii good faith the plans agreed up
on and to permit the State Forester
to give public demonstrations Of prac-
teal forest operations, while the i'm
provement work is in progress and to
publish such results OF the work from
time to time as he may think proper"

WHY JAP BABIES ARE HEALTHY.
They Escape the Ordeal of Wearing
Uncomfortable Clothing.

Americans wonder at the amiable
temper Of our Japanese babies; the
real marvel is the measure of good
nature which the American baby man
ages to retain after all he is called
upon to 20 through In dressing. How
on earth can the most perfect Of
saints. let alone a baby, be. expected
to retain his Christian virtues His
legs and neck are twisted into all
sorts of double knots three or four
times day, that they may be squeezed
through a tight-fitting shirt. Our
baby clothes are certainly simpler.
Incidentally; they are wide-minded and
wide-sleeved enough to let a baby
grow in them without its putting up
a ring fight.
Baby dresses are cut, along general
lines, the same as the kimono Of the
grown-ups. Only for the babies the
sleeves and skirts are longer and wide
in proportion, so that they will cover
the bare feet; besides protecting the
bare hands, the long sleeves save faces
from heartless scratchings.
After the firt bath the nurse takes
out an undergarment, fits it into the
inner side of the outer garment, and
then lays the dresses, thus fitted, UP
on the soft-padded mat floor and simp-
ly and naturally puts the baby into the
open folds. No screams. What ex-
cuse can the baby have to yell ?
Simply a matter of dress nothing
more. But see what a difference 1t

the Japanese mother perhaps, the

SETTING FRUIT TREES.


Since trees in crooked rows are IN
slightly and make trouble in blowing
and cultivation Of any crop put in
rows it is just rs well to set them
straight While there il more than
one way of doing this, there is no bet
ter method than the running of three
rows of sighting stakes both ways
across the area to be set. Of course
If the tract is very large or the sur
face quite rolling more rows of stakes
should be set. lit l. well to begin at
one side. measuring off the distances
for the stakes and at the same time
sighting them, SO that they Will set
true and straight A row should then
be run i'm the same way on one of the
other sides at right angles to the one
already set. Two rows should then be
set near the middle Of the tract paral-
lei to the rows already set, and, lastly.
two other rows should be run through
ion the two edges of the field not al
ready staked. These last rows may
be quickly set by sighting those al
ready in. From this point on no meas
Iuring stick IL needed, it being possible
to quickly determine the location Of
all the rest of the trees to be set by
sighting from the rows Of stakes al
ready placed. While the work Of
planting 1s expedited IL two work to-
gether. one person can sight both ways
alone and do very good work. Anoth-
er aid in setting the trees true is a
board about four inches wide and four
feet long. in the middle of both ends
Of which notches have been cut about
an inch square and third cut in one
edge at the middle and extending half
am inch beyond the exact center of the
board, so as to make an opening about
an inch square at the center. A long
straight stake should be used for the
center-the one which will mark the
location of the tree-while two pegs
considerably shorter should be used
for the ends.
When the tree stake has been prop
slipped on to it 30 that the stake will
be at the middle. The end pegs should
then be put in the notches referred to,
when the middle stake may be pulled
and the board removed while the dig
ging Of the hole is in progress. When
the hole is ready the frame should be
adjusted over the end pegs and the
tree held III place in the notch ut the
center of the board. where the long
peg was. This equipment will work
best If the three pegs used are rounded
somewhat and are made n tride less
than an inch in diameter. so that they
will not stick III the notchcs of the
board. If this method is followed care
fully straight trees can be set so true
that IL rifle ball shot from the ED row
would strike more than half of the
trees
