AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION.
Summer Care of Orchards.

In a season of drouth like that
through which Kentucky and adj
jacent states are passing, the pro-
dnction of our orchards as well as
our field crops is subject to a very
serious reduction through lack of
sufficient soil moisture to perfect
the young orchard fruits.
The methodsof avoiding or check
ing this loss in the orchard are the
same in principle as those adopted
in producing a full crop of corn or
other field crop. The most effect
i've and usually the cheapest plan is
to keep up frequent shallow cul-
tivation of the soil with the spike
tooth, or Acme harrow, or some
other surface working implement.
The necessity of this frequent
cultivation is often not SO apparent
as in the case Of field or garden
crops, since the foliage of the tree
may continue to appear fresh and
green while it is still unable to Sc
cure enough moisture to meet the
additional demands of growing
fruit. Under these conditions
much of the fruit drops while small
and that which remains fails to
develop to normal size and quality.
Z Tn the other hand we'll authen.
ticated instance are recorded where
large and profitable peach crops
have been secured in a time of
drOuth of more than a months du-
ration, by an almost daily working
of the soil, when surrounding fruit
farms have produced no crop worth
marketing.
Under ordinary conditions the
frequent cultivation of the early
summer should be followed in July
or early August by the sowing of
some winter cover crop, such as
cowpeas. soy beans, oats or rye, to
be turned under early the following
spring.

Cash or No Service.

Owing to such unsatisfactory
collections IN the publishing of
Commissioner sales the Times
in the future will print on such
sales unless the order for the
printing is accompanied by the
cash TO pay for the same. We
have cut the rate half iDto and
fixed the charges so it will be ca
sy for any one to tell what they
will be. The rate is now but !
cent word per insertion or Ii
cent for three insertions the man,
Der of insertions required by
law. Any one can count the
number of lines in a job. If you
want your business TO appear you
must leave this amount of mon
ey with the Commissioner or the
publisher direct, otherwise there
WILL be no publication of the sale.
We regret to have to be so ex-
acting, but as it ha5 been we
have not been able to collect
more than half what we have
earned and then wait from six
months to two years to get this
much. We do not want the bus
mess with such unsatisfactory re-
turns, consequently have made
the cash in advance plan effect
i've from this date. No pay, no
work.

Tired d Saloons.

We learn an effort will be
made this fall TO get a local OPP
ton election held in this county.
The county is dry every where
except in Clay City and the
move of course is to get Clay
City dry. Personally the wet
goods in Clay City disturbs us
but little, but it seems to dis
turb some others a great deal. 1t
is for their sake and the sake of
the boys coming on that the
Times is seriously interested in
getting liquor away from this
town.

The persistent surface cnltivati u
suggested above can Of course , -
effectively carried out only whfn
the orchard has previously bet
plowed and narrowed in the s rinH
If the orchard is in grass or weeds
some relief from the effects e
drouth may be had by cutting tht
growth and spreading it under tto
trees as far as the branches extern
adding also some straw, grss
weeds or other vegetable matt'r
that may be secured from othtr
parts of the farm. This latter pla',
PERSISTED in from year to year, cor
stitutes the "sod mulch system
and has been rather widely adopted
in recent years by apple growere,
as a substitute for the s0pewhaE
more orthodox method OF surfarn
cultivation followed by the winttr
cover crop. Tt is specially saitea
to rough or hilly lands where sys-
TEN of thorough cultivation is net
practicable, but some Of its mott
enthusiastic and successful adVo-
Gates are located on comparatively
level lands in our neighboring State
of Ohio.
In apple growing districts which
have been affected with the browncr
bitter rot of the fruit, spraying with
the Bordeaux mixture should still
be continued at two weeks intervals
as a means of holding these trou
blesome diseases in check.

That the drouth is broken is no
longer a doubt. The ground has
been thoroughly wet and every.
thing growing looks well. Corn
is in unusually fine growing con
dltion. The previous dry wealth,
err afforded excellent opportunl-
ty to thoroughly work it and the
good rains are causing it to grow
faster, it seems than ever before
noticed.
