inferior Nursery Stock.


Says state Horticulturist Albert X.
Gardner in his annual report, in
speaking of nursery stock: although
during the past season the amount
of cheap and inferior nursery stock
introduced into the State has been
greatly reduced in comparison with
former seasons. we still are paying
good money lin purchasing practically
worthless stock. For many of us are
willing to buy whatever the agent
has to sell, without looking into the
standing of his firm.
As ar appeal to the buyer, would
say-flrst inform yourself, through
your neighbours experience, secure
catalogues with the accompanying
price lists, in order to get a check ON
the agent. write the nursery firms
ana ask questions, ask information
fromSthe editor of your paper; and
secondly. use common sense.
Some of the growers that have had
little experience in buying stock have
been held mp for exorbitant prices.
others have paid 10 cents per tree and
obtained stuGted stock, as might be
expected.

Modern Sugar Planter further says:
prof. E. w. Kerr of the Louisiana
State University, Baton Rouge, whose
varied experimental labors toward the
solution of many of the unsettled
problems of the sugar factory have
gone far toward aiding the cane sugar
manufacturing industry, both locally
and in foreign fields, has in course of
publication in this journal series of
papers under the heading of Cane
Milling
"The opening paper of the new Sc
ries carefully covered the ground in
a preparatory way, putting the gen.
eral character of the subject in such
state as to aid in proper grasp Of
the arguments presented in succeed
ing papers; number two presented a
large amount of carefully prepared
data regarding the various degrees of
multiple milling, variable degrees Of
saturation, the values of increased ex-
traction due to liberal saturation and
multiple milling, and evaporative cost
of the excess due to saturation; and
the third of the series will be found
of especial interest as dealing with
varying degrees of saturation at the
mill, the calculations being carefully
and clearly carried out and results
graphically charted.
"The tables and charts already pre-
scented, with the arguments and data
leading thereto, will be found of i'm
mense value to all interested in really
scientific cane milling. 1t has been
suggested to us by an experienced
sugar mill man that the series so far
exhibited well be entitled Extraction
as An Exact Science also those APP
preciating the authors clear methods
of illustration and ability to handle
the various elements of the problem,
are led to believe there will be little
of importance to escape careful treat
ment.
Sugar men are tolerably familiar
with the general elements contribut-
ing toward high mill extraction, those
of multiple milling and it's necessary
handmaiden, saturation; but only by
such careful comparative data as
Professor Kerr offers can the eco
nomic limitation of these factors be
found.
Professor Kerr brings to this work
a talent of the very highest order,
tireless industry, the intelligent
analytical spirit, and singular free
dom from the bias of preconceived
notions. When we add to these the
vast amount of data and critical OBJ
from which his conclusions
are drawn, together with a most thor
ough comprehension of his subject,
much may be expected"

Carnegie commission has provided a

the marrying again of the widows.

First, that Mr. Colquitt may resign
