Small Fruit Industry Of the State.

address delivered by Professor E. +. Bitchings
at Farmers Week Course. University of
Maine, March 5.)
A brief resume of the present status OF
the small fruit industry will be given in
order to more fully demonstrate the pos
sibilities of the future-when 1t will take
it's place as one of the leading agri-
cultural Industries of the state. Its
great Importance cannot be gainsaid
1t is q business where health and pleas
ure may be combined with brains and
capital. 1t is an intensive business
where success means an intimate knOwl-
edge of the different fruits to be grown
associated with an intense desire to pro-
duce and the best OF the choice varieties
adapted TO special locality.
Failures may occasionally occur due to
the following: First, climatic conditions
(a) such as lots which will affect expand
ing buds. Spring frosts. 10y Cool rainy
period to hinder fertilization. During
pollination. (c) A hot, dry season,
especially during the crucial period OF
fruit maturity (d) A too open winter
when an ice blanket may be formed and
smother plants.
Second, an epidemic OF disease, or
third, sudden insect invasion either one
or both of which may sweep over q
plantation and spread disaster in its
course. Under the following are briefly
summarized the different phases of the
subject matter to be presented and
elaborated upon: First, certain facts
must be recognized as to the best loca-
ton, soil adsptability and climatic con
ditiOns. Second, the necessary capital
and equipment must be carefully consid-
cred and decided upon. Following
these:-The question of stock selection
is vital one, and will be fully answered
only when We consider the nursery
proposition, the varieties desired, and
adaptation to location. Planting plans
must be considered as important factors
in the success Of the undertaking. The
questions of nutrition, methods of prOpa-
CATION, correct systems of cultivation and
general soil management, will be care
fully gone over and discussed.
The insect and disease problem, TO-.
gethsr with protection from mice and
other winter injury will be fully dealt
with, as it Is highly essential to the sue
cess of the undertaking. Important
features of the industry are the picking,
shipping and marketing of the fruit.
These deserve more than passing notice,
and sufficient time will be given to fully
outline the most successful methods.
Finally q brief statement will be made
regarding the profits of we'll conducted
business and the desirability of combin-
ing IL with other lines of work as asso-
ciate industries.

Is the Farmers Right.

never could understand why farmer
did not and could not have anything that
will grow in a northern climate for the
supplying of bis table, In season and
sometimes out of season. The farmer
and the farmers family like good things
to eat, and there are of course q great
many who live splendidly upon the fat OF
the land, but there are also many Others
who do not seem to realize the great and
splendid advantages for living which
should accrue to those who live In the
country. I have been In the homes OF
farmers in seasons of the year when they
should be having . variety Of the good
things that can be gathered from the
garden of an enterprising man, and
found only last years potatoes, meat
from the store, and -four bread, with
perhaps some pAkles from last years
cucumbers. These are all good things,
but at the time Of the year when peas,
corn, beans, cucumbers and tomatoes, to
say nothing of lettuce and variety OF
other possibilities should be available
within q few steps of the farm kitchen,
they seem to lack good deal of satisfy
ing the desire of the real lover OF the
farm and its living.
The farmer has certainly been meek
enough, but ~ yet he has failed to take
advantage of his inheritsnce; he has
fallen far short of iuheriting as much OF
the earth a. has been offered to him.

NO DELAY IN SUIT
Annexation Proceedings Will be
Commenced on September 18th.
as Arranged

Despite the illness of Corporation
Attorney Samuel P. Fisher and the re-
quest of Ex-Governor Montague, of
Richmond and Captain Crandall Mac
key, Commonwealth Attorney of
Alexandria county, the suit of the City
of Alexandria to annex part of the ter
ritory of Alexandria and Fairfax
counties will be commenced on Septemr
Der 18th, which was the date agreed
upon some months ago.
Several days ago Governor Monta-
cue and Captain Mackey wrote the
attorneys for Alexandria asking that
the suit be postponed until November,
on account of personal reasons, and as
Mr.. Fisher who has undertaken large
part of the preliminary work in con-
nection with the suit, was confined to
his home by illness, there was some
probability of the request being grant
ed, but upon consultation it was de-
cided to adhere to the date as previ-
ously arranged.
1t is hoped that Mr. Fisher will be
sufficiently recovered by the 18th to
take part in the proceedings but II
he is unable to do so, Alexandria will
be represented by its other two attor-
neys, John NJ. Johnson and Samuel G.
Brent
Judge Gordon, who has been desig-
mated by Governor Mann to sit in the
case has not yet rendered mis- opinion
on the demurrers which were present
ed by the attorneys of Alexandria and
Fairfax counties.
