Chicago, Dec. 16.-Seems to be an
idea the government will increase its
1912 crop winter wheat estimate at
lis p. m, Chicago time today.
Not much change expected in corn
and oats. Wheat visible increase of
two or more millions expected today.
Commercial west and Inter-Ocean say
wheat should now be at low levels of

Southern mills write me of an i'm

spring wheat mills meanwhile appear
to have fulfilled everyone up.
Question as to a congested wheat
situation for next 60 days is not set

LAND OF GREAT ADVENTURE

'Unkempt, disreputable, vast,' was
the best that poet of empire could
find to say of us not SO many years
ago. To his eye, as to others, America
was the mongrel among the thorough
bred races of the world, says the New
York Evening Sun. The blood of a
score of nations was in our veins and
no one faith in our hearts. We were
everything and nothing. Like children,
we built to tear down and sought we
knew not what.
Nor is that point of view wanting
here. What we have accomplished is
often ignored. Our failures fly on the
four winds. The finger of scorn is
pointed at the crudities, the waste, the
ugliness of beginnings out of which, ss
matter of fact, every strong stock
has sprung. The magnifcence of the
moment, as a new race, at play with a
continent, forms swiftly to take its
place among the peoples of the earth,
is utterly unseen.
The opinions of poets a-visit may
not be important. But our own trust
in ourselves is everything. We do not
suggest an insufferable conceit or a
bumptious arrogance-nor yet the
youthful content peculiar to Americans
in years gone by. The thing to cherish
and foster is faith in our nation and
race, belief that out of the mingling
of adventurous blood of many races
there is arising new and great peo
pie.
We can surely count as one more
thing upon which to build our faith the
quality of the men who died at sea a
week ago today. There were many
nations upon the ship that never made
port; the others are doubtless able
to care for their honor. We speak now
of the representative Americsns-an
oddly assorted lot, as it happened. Yet
they were fairly typical of our strange
fusion. And they were put to test
harder than the hardest English
courage has set the "Birkephsad drill'

time of the second spraying some Il
or II days later.
1t is not the bloom the spraying is
for. Spraying is to kill the eggs sf
the codling moth that are laid and
Matched after the bloom falls and the
fruit is set. Ignorance of the time of
the laying of the eggs of these moths
has heretofore caused people to spray
too early. and has resulted in wormy
fruit, to say nothing of the loss of
time and money involved. Mr.. Macy
of Chaves county, N. NJ, who is well
known fruit grower, never sprays trees
while in bloom. Those in bloom when
he sprays first, are not sprayed till the
time of the second spraying. He has
secured large number of bees for his
orchard during the blooming season.
In this he has followed the example Of
the largest and most successful orchard
lists of the country. Be up-to-date! Do
not waste your money and time in
spraying too early.

HOW TO PLANT SHADE TREES

Fort Collins, May l.-As this is the
best time of year for setting out shade
trees, Prof w. w. Robbins of the agri-
cultural college has issued a bulletin of
instructions which will materially as
sist those interested
He gives the following pointers
1t is better to use stock that has
been grown under climatic conditions
similar to those where the tree is to
be planted.
Trees two inches in diameter are
large enough.
Root system should be compact and
trunk straight.
Watch for shipment. Do not allow
trees to dry out on depot platform.
Plant the trees as soon as possible
after they come from the nursery
However, if the grower is not ready to
plant, the trees must be properly cared
for. unpack large bundles of stock,
dig trench in a shady place and heel
the trees in until ready to plant. In
| any event do not expose roots to air
any longer than absolutely necessary.
Trim the lower branches to a height
| of six or seven feet from the ground.
Remove about one-half of the previous
year growth in order to maintain tn ,
balance between root and stem sys-
tens.
Trim off all torn or broken roots be-
fore planting
Plant with as large root system as
possible.
The hole should be larger than the
root system.
Do not put fresh manure in the hole;
it will burn the roots.
Set trees an inch or two deeper than
they stood in the nursery.
Arrange the roots to spread natural
ly.
See to it that the soil is firm about
| the roots.
| Do not leave a depression about
the stem in which water will stand ::
standing water at the base of young
| trees causes sun -scald,
Water young trees freely. Two good
soakings week are better than a
small amount of water each day.
| Cultivate about the trees. Do not
allow sod or weeds to grow about
young trees.
Place guard about the tree.
Support the young tree SO that its
growth will be erect, not leaning in
the direction of the prevailing wind
Do not allow any part of the tree to
rub against supporting stake or guard.
The Glenwood post., 1912-05-04
WHEN TO SPRAY

The only up-to- date method of fight
ing the cod1ing moth is by spraying.
Our government authorities are in
structing growers that they must gov
ern their methods of spraying accord
ing to the habits of the insect. In the
winter season the codling moth lives
in sifken cocoon and in no other Goa
dition. 1t changes to chrysalis in
the spring and matches out in time to
lay eggs on the newly formed apples.
Prof. Gillette SAYS .'That while the
moths begin to appear about the time
of full bloom, they do not begin to lay
eggs until the majority of the apples
in the orchard are one half inch in iii
meter. when they are three-fourths Of
an inch in size they are laid freely.
AS soon as the little apples lose their
fuzzy covering the moths lay their
eggs very largely upon the cheek of the
apple, but NEVER IN THE BLOSSOM.
Later it finds its hiding place in the
blossom end of the apple. After the
blossoms have fallen and the apples
have attained little size, is THE
TIME TO SPRAY AND NOT Be
FORE Prof. Gillette, who wrote the
above, has raised these moths in great
numbers at the government experiment
al station, and is considered the best
authority on this subject in the west.
lie further says, lit takes seven
days for the eggs to hatch, and about
10 per cent of the worms enter the
apple at the blossom end" In Bullet
in No. SO from the state of New York
experimental station we find the fol
lowing statement: 1.-The trees should
not be sprayed while in bloom for the
spray may injure the delicate part of
the aower.'' The Missouri State Bull
letin No. SO says: '.Never spray a
fruit tree while in bloom. You not
only injure the delicate stigma AMI
prevent polarization, but you are in
danger of killing bees.' Bees aid
largely in pollenizing all fruit trees
and with other insect life are of great
service to the fruit growers at this
time of the year.
Greene's Fruit Grower advises orch
ardists as follows. 1t is a positive
injury TO spray for the codling moth
when the trees are in bloom. The
Vermont station prints the following
advice: Spraying when trees are in
bloom is entirely useless; it is waste
of time and spraying material. There
is everything against it and nothing
in its favor. Never spray when the
blossoms are open. The U. S. agr-
cultural department at Washington
sends out the following: "Pomolo-
gists may we'll join law making it a
grave misdemeanor to spray trees
while they are in full bloom"
Canada has strict law against
spraying while fruit trees are in
bloom. Several of our states have
passed similar laws.
Spray only when blossoms have fall
len. Those trees that have blossoms
on them at the time Of the first spray
ing should not be sprayed until the
