THE SENATORIAL RACE

Judge Jones promises to become a
candidate for the democratic nominal
ion for the United States senate. Judge
Jones is strong man, good debater
and full of fire and energy.
If Judge Jones desires TO go to the
senate he should go into the primary,
and so should any other democrat in
the state. The road is open an the
running is good.
The democrats should name the next
United States senator from Tennessee.
The office should not be longer a mat
ter of legislative politics and legislative
fighting.
The democratic national platform de-
mands the election of senators by the
people. The best way the expression
of the people can be secured is thaough

1t will generally pay to put large
part of the orchard into reliable Win
ter varieties. For home use apples
are appreciated more along toward
spring and will bring higher price.
An important point to consider In
selecting varieties is quality. This IS
especially important in those grown
for home use. When the fruit Is to
be shipped any considerable distance,
shipping and keeping qualities are Of
first Importance, and the eating and
cooking qualities take secondary
place, Yield is also important.
Buy at the Home Nursery.
In buying fruit trees it is best to
steer clear Of agents with plausible
stories of wonderful quality and yie.d.
Some nursery agents are honest and
conscientious, but so many are not
that it is difficult to separate the sheep
from the goats. The best way is to
make your selection Of varieties and
then get the trees Of some reliable nurs-
eryman in your own locality. If you
can go to the nursery and buy them of
the nurseryman himself so much the
better. In that case you can select the
trees yourself and be sure of getting
good ones Thrifty one or two year
old trees, with well developed root sys-
tens. stand transplanting better and
are cheaper than larger ones.
AS soon as the trees are received
from the nursery they should be "herl-
ed ill.," This is done by digging a
| trench and covering the roots I'd
about half of the tops with dirt. When
the trees have been shipped for so 4e
distance it sometimes happens that
they are frozen when received. In
this case they should be placed in
some outbuilding, covered with straw
and left to thaw out gradually. In
this way little harm will be done.

soon as the land can be worked in the
spring it should be plowed, unless this
has been done the fall before. After
blowing the disk or spring tooth har
row very effectively breaks up tho
clods and fines the surface \ final
narrowing will complete the process Of
getting the soil in shape.
Cultivation.
There are two principal objects III
c,lltivating the orchard. In the first
place, cultivation, as explained in ar
ticIe No. 2, iiberates plant food and so
enables the plant to make faster
growth. 1t is wasteful practice to
apply fertilizers to the orchard until
you have made the fertility that is al,
ready there available by cultivation.
The second reason for tiIlage is to
conserve moisture and promote deep
roofing. The upper layer Of a cultivat
ed soil is dry, and in consequence the
roots will turn downward to seek a
layer in which there is more moisture
| At the same time the upward rise Of
water by capillarity is checked just at
| the dry layer, so that little is lost BY
| evaporation. 1t IS very important TO
| make the soil vast storebouSe Of
| moisture for orchard trees, since they
must have large quantities if they are

Locating and Plant

~VERY farm should have at
least a few fruit trees to pro
vide fruit for home use Where
soil and climate are favorable
and good market can be secured
fruit growing for market is very
profitable business.
The most important point In plan
hing an orchard is selecting the loca-
ton. The land should be naturally
well drained if possible If not, arti-
fetal drainage should be resorted to-
A moderate northeast slope is the most
desirable. Trees on a north slope do
not start as quickly i'll the spring, and
the danger of having the fruit buds
nipped by an untimely frost is les,
ened. An orchard on such slope
also suffers less from sun scald and
drought.
If the hill on which the farm build
ings are placed is large enough the
orchard can be located on the ncrth
slope and the buildings on the south
y windbreak of double row of ever
greens on the west and north will stop
the SNOW in winter and help to keep
the fruit from being blown off in SUM
mer To complete this protection the
windbreak will have to be extended all
the way around, since in summer many
| Of the heavy winds come from south
| erly direction.
Air Drainage.
The question of air drainage is fully
as important as that of water drainage.
Cold air is heavy and drains rapidly
into the hollows, while the air on the
slopes is warm and dry. The differ
ence of few feet in elevation ofte,,
makes q difference Of several degrees
| in temperature An orchard located on
rise Of land will escape many Of the
frosts that cut down the profits in an
orchard less favorably located. Trees
on a hill are also less likely to he trou
bled with fungous diseases, since dry
air is not favorable to them.
A soil too rich in nitrogen promotes
leaf and wood growth ut the expense
of fruit. For this reason black prairie
soil is not 80 well adapted to fruit
growing as some other lands. Loan,
clay soil underlaid with porous sub
soil makes an ideal foundation fer ii
orchard. Cleared timberland Is alsf
very good.
You cannot expect success with al
orchard if you plant the trees in ;
hole in the sod The land should b;
put in to some cultivated crop for a
least a year before setting out tin
trees. This gets the soil in good tilth
and the trees will have fair chance
from the start.
What to Plant.
Having decided on the location fo
the orchard. the next step is to selec
the kinds and varieties of fruit to b
grown The apple is the most widel
grown tree fruit in this country
has hardy varieties that can be grow
well up into the northern sections
