IL is frequently stated We just
can't raise fruit in this part OF the
South like we used to and as for APP
pies. We are told they just will not
grow in this climate.
The editor has received two bas-
kets of fruit this summer from Mr..
j. X. Storment. that was raised this
year just in the outskirts OF Stark
vile. Peaches. plums and apples OF
several varieties. each and all large,
smooth. clean and free from blemish
or worms. Mr. Storment's orchard
looks vigorous and healthy and his
fruit Is OF first-class quality. The
reason? Why. he takes intelligent
care of the orchard as you do of
your cotton crop and he prevents
fungus and insect damages by spray
ing.

Sluer kraut.

A mistake made by most people in
making kraut is the use of too much
salt. The vessel used should be a
six or eight-gallon jar, for a wooden
vessel does not preserve the kraut so

flow fails we may expect few or no
swarms. Last spring the cold, wet

later, cut off nearly all our nectar

colonies.
So the late swarming possibly
comes from belated inclination to
make up for the spring failure, for
swarming may come with any honey
flow. In the North they have what
they call "buckwheat swarms" which
come out with the flowing of that
crop.
And yet. | am more disposed to ex-

an empty hive in which there are

them in the usual way, and when |

nothing to eat and came out. If I

wish to put out few straw
berries this fall, and want you
to write me when to set them
out, how to prepare the land,

The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-09-10

tAnswer by Prof. w. F. Massey.)
The best time to set straw berry
plants will be in November. The
land should be well prepared, and
the plants set in rows 4 feet apart
and l. inches in the rows, setting
them not too deep and not too shall
low. but with the roots we'll covered,
and the buds well above ground. A
mixture of 9 parts acid phosphate, /
part nitrate of soda, 6 parts cotton
seed meal and parts sulphate of
potash used at rate of 1000 pounds
per acre will make good strawber-
ries. Lady Thompson is good early
berry, and Chesapeake is the best
main crop.

The national banks Of San Francisco in their
reports to the comptroller of the currency un-
der date of January y showed Individual de-
posits Of $5l,ose.0o0-a gain Of $I0.50o. coo over

loss Of about So, 900. 900. A like condition
was observed in Los Angeles, Seattle and other
cities of the coast and In many Of the eastern
cities. Doubtless the large requirements for tax
paying purposes since November may be held
accountable for the decrease iD deposits dur
ing the past three months.
Despite the decrease in deposits. however
the item Of loans and discounts shows very
slight diminufion, evidencing the ability of San
Francisco national banks 70 repay consider
able sum of their liabilities without calling on
borrowers for payment. The demand for loans
for commercial purposes continues strong, and
interest rates, whatever the conditions may be
elsewhere, show no signs of weakening here.

STOCK MARKET
CONTINUES DULL.

NEW YORK. Feb. 24.-Dealings
in stocks today were scarcely
larger than yesterday. The thin
ness of the market was as marked
on the selling side as on the buy
ing side and it required but a
small absorption to lift prices. The
timidity OF the bears is aggra
waited by such demonstration as
that of last week in Reading and
that of today in the southern
group of railroad stocks.
The movement today lacked au-
thoritative explanation. A sup
position naturally arose that some
financial project was working out
designed to change the relation
between these properties, already
very close by reason of the control
Of Louisville and Nashville held
by Atlantic Coast line and a mu-
tual control of other properties
held by Louisville and Nashville
and Southern Railway.
Until the movement in these
stocks stimulated some vitality
in the rest of the market, it was
practically lifeless. An early at
tempt TO depress prices met with
little success and this. as much as
any definite news of conditions,
prompted the later upward move
ment The quieting down of af-
fairs in Philadelphia was accepted
as good news.
