According to recent decision of the department of agriculture the name Rocky Ford muskmelons can hereafter only be used in advertising melons pro- duced in the celebrated Colorado melon district. while similarly the phrase In dian River as applied to oranges may only be commercially applied to those raised along this particular river in Florida. Heretofore these terms have been very freely and generally used. The decision of the department will mean an added value in these terms or trademarks to those who are legally entitled to use them. ..

The Danish Cooperative Egg Ex- port association awards annually pre- miums for tbe best managed and most profitable poultry flocks Last season the flock winning first prize consisted of sixty-three Brown Italians. Their feed consisted of wheat. oats. bran ground bone. beets. hay sweepings and a small amount of barley meal. oat- meal and biscuits. The hens averaged 158 eggs each for the year. and the re ceipts from all sources were such as to give a net profit per hen of $1.93. Be sides a yard and garden. the hens had the range of pasture and were given liberal feeds of chopped greens.

The other day we saw pear or chard which its owner had started to head close to four feet high. the trees having the appearance of slender whip stocks with tufts of feathers at the tip. In a section where the prevailing summer winds are from one quarter this will mean that all of the tree will have to be staked up to be kept in an upright position. and this at best will
 be boggled up job. Later on as they come into bearing 1t is questionable if there will be sufficient strength of trunk to bear the fruit without break ing down. In this instance the situa- tion is aggravated because all the low CT buds on the trees have been shipped off, so that the growing of lower headed tree is well nigh impossible.

Not satisfied with working off on unsuspecting patrons trees that are not true to name, some fruit tree represent atives will even go so far as to substi- tute seedlings for the variety ordered. The seedling tree. the shoot from a root which has not been root grafted, budded or top worked, is usually dis tinguished by its finer leaf with rough CT edge, its tendency to send out ire quent shoots at right angles to the main stem or branches and its disposi- tion to revert to the original thorny crab stage. Such seedlings in an or chard plot are. absolutely worthless and should be top grafted with some known and valuable variety.

The chestnut blight. a fungous growth known as the black knot va- riety, threatens the ultimate destruc- tion of virtually all the groves of na- tive chestnut trees in the north Allan tic states unless methods can be adopt ed to hold in check or eradicate the pest. This particular blight spreads by means of spores. these being car ried by birds, by squirrels and some times by the wind. The spores or seeds get foothold and develop in the cambium layer. which is located just beneath the outer bark. So far no effective means has been discovered for checking the disease, though it has been suggested by those making a study of the question that felling all of the chestnut trees in a five mile zone encircling the affected area might prove a barrier to the spread of the disease. as it would give the fungus nothing on which to subsist. So far as known. the chestnut is the only tree affected by this particular pest.

While sour soil may be indicated by a refusal of the clover family to grow thereon. the question may be easily and accurately determined by making a test with blue litmus paper This may be got at any drug store and is inexpensive. A boring should be made with two inch auger in the part of the field which shows most evi- dence of sourness and two good sized balls made of the earth ohbtained near the surface and Of that ten or twelve inches down. These balls should be split and strips of the litmus paper laid between and kept there about if teen minutes. If the paper is turned pink in color the evidence is conclu- sive that the soil is sour and needs sweetening with an application of lime. which. may be applied in the shape of the raw ground stone or the pulverized burned product. there being little choice between the two. The chances are that if the soil is sour it is also run down and would be benefited by an application of stable manure. which will greatly increase its pro- ductiVity.

While the mistletoe occupies a sort of poetic place in peoples estimation and is the cause of interesting trans actions at the holiday season and on sundry social occasions. it is produced at a fearful cost in tree life. particu- larly of few varieties of oaks, on which it sponges for its existence. White oaks three feet and more in diameter and solid to the core are done to death by this parasitic pest. While the seeds of the mistletoe are depos- ited by birds on fences. buildings and even on the trunk and limbs of fruit trees, they seem to take root only on rough surfaces. the limbs of the oak being especially favorable in this par ticular. Once the root of the little plant gets a foothold it grows vigor- ously. it's tissue becoming closely unit ed with that of the limb on which it grows. In sections where it is found it is often gathered at holiday time and shipped to the larger markets. where from $8 to $1O per ton is paid for it.

Experiments which have been con- ducted by a number of state expert ment stations i'll the matter of smudg- ing fruit trees to prevent frost dam- age would seem to indicate that it is not the heat generated by the smudge or fire that keeps the fruit from freez- ing, but that the smoke generated forms a blanket which keeps cold air from penetrating the smoke zone and holds down the heat radiating from the earth. The smudge. according to this view. is a means of heat conserva- tion rather than heat production. It also further serves the purpose of ob- scuring the light of the sun in the early morning hours, thus preventing a rapid thawing of blossoms that may have been frostbitten.

As result of experiments which were conducted at the Colorado horti- cultural station last season by Pro- lessor Weldon, field entomologist, it was found that flowers of sulphur, one pound to three gallons of water. with enough soap so that the sulphur would mix with the water. was a very eff fective insecticide when used as a summer spray. for the brown aphis. Apple, peach. plum. cherry. pear and almond trees were found more or less affected by the pest. Tobacco prepara- tions were found effective in killing the mites, but not the eggs, several treatments being required to dispose of the mites. Oil sprays penetrated and killed many of the eggs. but were found unsafe to use with waters strongly impregnated with alkali.

Of today's stock market from that of

Their interruption mex week in Lon
don and this prospect has its usual
effect of d-iscouraging speculative ac-
tivity. The clause of the railroad bill
which is tot along lines expected, had
no influence in prompting new mar
ket action. The advance in the Can
adam group continued. with no news
to account for it. The report OF the
sale of the Clark copper properties
in Montana to the Amalgamated Cop
per interest was strengthening effect
the stock of the latter company.
The dull stock market is attribut-
ed largely to the conservative Views
of banking interests regarding the

banded loan position of the banks -

of state banks and trust companies
controlled by the same directors or
stockholders as a national bank have,
been allowed TO take over the deposits
Of the National bank to be loaned in
land purchases, mortgages on land
bought at high prices.
The local money position is effected
by the question of the policy to be
pursued by a bank of England in face
Of the added control of the exchange

The News notes with interest that
Supt. Kratz of the Calumet Public
schools has arranged for a general
spelling contest between. correspond
ing grades in the different schools in
grades four to eight inclusive. Both
oral and written tests will be given,
the details of which are announced in
our news columns today. We believe
frequent spelling down" contests in
the grades are most valuable mas
much as the rivalry they create is
conducive to study, and results in ac-
curate spoilers. Unless his interest
is stirred the average pupil disliKes
to study long lists of dry words ana
the outcome is deficiency wmeh
may severely handicap him in later
years. The teaching of spelling is
an art, and 1t should be given close
attention throughout the grades ana
in high schools as well. Spelling
is too often neglected in many
schools because its Importance is UNI
der-estimated. e':-a- 81.

makes 1t more than ever TO be de-
sired that the move to settle all mat

would the strike be disastrous i'm the

VIII all get back. The locomotives will
be manned by other men, and the
ultimate status of those who obey the

alton of the trouble and the terms OF
the settlement. 1t will be hoped that
the railroad managers and the officials
of the union will approach the question
of arbitration in the spirit of arbi-

cession. The disturbance they may
