A NEW MEXICO QUERY.

A lady reader of these notes living

ing II strawberries will grow and do
well In the rich chocolate soil OF that
section aud II they will need covering
during the winter While the writer
is not acquainted personally with the
section In question. two or three gen.
eral statements may be made which
viii be helpful. ln the first place. choc
olate soil is usually as rich In fertiliz-
ing elements as any other and would
seem TO be all right for the straw
berry A more important considera-
ton would be sufficient moisture 10 In
sure the growth Of the plants and the
maturing OF the fruit. and this would
have 10 be supplied by ditch at needed
times II the rainfall were not sufficient.
Cultivation should be given often
enough 10 keep the soil mellow aud TO
conserve the moisture. II during the
months when the plants were dormant
the mercury did not 20 lower than 10
above zero. the bed would hardly need
covering However. In this connection
II Is well 10 keep In mind the fact that
II is not degrees OF cold that kill berry
vines. but alternate thawing and freez-
Ing. and local conditions would deter

NO GROUND FOR DISCOURAGE.
MENT

Just because the Missouri. Michigan
or New York orchardist reads OF fruit
returns from the mountain and Pacific
coast states far surprising any he has
been able TO secure il no reason why
he should throw up the sponge. II he
feels Inclined 10 do so. and grub out
his trees. Rather should he take nc.
count of the careful methods by which
the western fruit rnnchman Is able to
secure such high returns-namely.
paInstaking handling Of the soil. great
care In pruning and spraying. costly
thinning. which insures fruit of prop.
er size. and lastly. and as important as
any factor. cooperation In the matter
Of packing and marketing. Many a
New England orchard has been reju-
venated aud made immensely profit
able by the employment OF scientific
methods IN caring for II. and many an
other may be made large source Of
revenue II handled In the same way.
Nearness TO market Is another factor
decidedly 10 the advantage Of the east
ern apple grower. as II costs about 90
cents bushe to land the bushel box
Of fancy fruit from the Pacific coast
In New York or Boston. Let eastern
orchard owners make their orchards
primary instead Of n second or third
rate consideration and give them the
attention that the western ranchman
does his and they will be surprised at
the results.

BLOOD TOLD.

That blood will tell. even In the rails
ing OF corn. was nicely illustrated In
the case OF an Iowa grower who paid
S5.35 per bushel for his seed AZ the
time OF the corn contest at the State
Agricultural college. To prove TO his
own satisfaction the value OF pure
bred seed over the best seed selected
from common corn. he planted the
pure bred seed Reds Yellow Dent-in
rows alongside the other corn. Both
plots had the same stand and received
the same cultivation and care. At
hrsking time the pure bred corn yield
ed at the rate OF seventy one aud
half bushels per acre. while the scrub
corn gave return OF tfty-nine bush
els. difference OF eleven aud half
bushels per acre. Since bushel Of
corn will plant seven acres II In quite
clear that this amount OF seed would
produce an increased yield equal 10
seven times that OH one acre. or eighty
and n half bushels. n this corn was
worth 80 cents a bushel. the hushel OF
seed was worth In crop returns S40.25
more than the common corn. II would
be we'll for the corn grower 10 have
instances Of this IN mind when he pays
q long price for good seed corn next
spring.

As with child. the time for doing
most effective work In shaping the
character aud type Of n tree Is at the
start. For this reason II Is better to
purchase fruit trees that are year
old rather than two or three years.
The low head. which Is so highly priced
by most orchardists. Is best secured by
cutting the young tree back TO from
eighteen inches 10 two feet the same
season II II set. This induces the
growth Of sturdy lateral branches and
gives the trunk stocky character
that Is OF great value IN succeeding
years. Whether the tree should be
given the vase shaped open top or the
round and more close growing top

J. G. imboden. a leading Illinois cat
tie feeder. In recent address before
the Corn Belt Meat Producers asso-
citation advised his hearers as feeders
OF cattle to buy the common kinds Of
steers rather than high grades. as they
would be able to get them nj about
their own prices since In the case OF
the grades the owner had too much to
say about the price he received. While
not intended as such. there seems to
be very excellent argument here for
the cattle raiser TO produce the grade
and high grade steers rather than the
scrub. as the call for them IL so strong
on the part Of buyers that there are
never enough to supply the demand.
This means that the price for this class
OF steers will always range high.
