UNITED STATES LARGE USER
OF FINE CIRCASSIAN WALNUT

The United States, says the de-
partment of agriculture, is probably
the largest consumer of CircasSian
walnut one of the worlds best known
and most expensive cabinet woods.
The high cost of Circassian walnut
is due to the scarcity of the beauti-
fully figured variety demanded for
furniture and interior finish, for the
tree itself is more widely distribut-
ed than almost any other of COM
mercial Importance. The demand
for the best wood, however, has al
ways outrun the supply. Even in the
eighteenth century, when wars in
Europe were frequent, so much Cir
cassian walnut was used for gun
stocks that the supply was seriously
depleted. Early in the nineteenth
century the wood of $4,000 trees
were used for this purpose alone.
Single trees, containing choice burls
or fine bird s-eye figures have sold
for more than $4,000.
The tree is native of the eastern
slopes of the Caucasus and ranges
eastward to the foothills of the
Himalaya mountains, from which it
extends southwark to northern India
and the mountains Of Upper Burma.
1t has been widely planted in Europe
and the United States, in this coun-
try under the name of English wal
nut. The wood grown here, how
ever, has not the qualities demanded
by the cabinet and furniture maker.
Much of the Circassian walnut now
used comes from the Black Sea and
from other parts of Asia.
According to a circular just issued
| by the forest service the demand for
| Circassian walnut has resulted in the
substitution of other woods. Our
own red gum is often sold as Cir
cassian walnut and butternut is also
similar in general appearance to the
| less highly figured grades. Many
| good African, Asian and South Amer
! ican woods resemble Circassian wal
nut, though none possess the magni-
ficent figure, delicate tones and vel
vety texture of the latter. The cir
cular discusses the supply and uses
of Circassian walnut, and those who
wish to know how possible substi-
tutes may be distinguished can learn
from the circular the distinctive
marks which the governments ex-
perts have discovered.

corn has been introduced, and after
learning how to do it the boys are
sent out to the different school dis
tricts in the county to show the teach

tests. Each pupil tests for different
farmer.
Standard framed pictures are offer
ed by the Commercial club as prizes,
the schools making the greatest num-

glass, to exhibit the prize winners
from each district. The merchant adds
a small prize for both the man who
furnishes the seed ears and the pupil
who makes the test.

NOT IN FAVOR OF
MINIMUM WAGE BILL,
Lawmakers at Harrisburg Are
Against Jeopardizing the Inter-

Lawmakers at Harrisburg Are
Against Jeopardizing the Inter-
est of States Industries.
Harrisburg, April 1.-The adj
mission made by Lieutenant Cover
nor Barratt O'Hara, of the Illinois
vice investigating commission, that
il would be suicidal for one State to
adopt a minimum wage bill unless all
states adopted the same minimum,
has caused a good deal of discussion
at the capitol.
When the Illinois commission
visited Governor Tener on its way to
Washington last Saturday, Mr..
O'Hara said:
"You can understand, Governor,
that to have Illinois merchants and
manufacturers paying higher wages
than were paid in competing states in
similar trades would put our people
out of business"
Many legislators who, like the
Governor, favor minimum wage
bill as an abstract proposition have
been seriously disturbed by this con-
fesion that the bill now pending in
the Legislature contains a possible
bareback which may fall heaviest
upon those the measure is designed
to serve.
It has been pointed out that COM
paratively few of the States have ex-
pressed any interest in minimum
wage legislation as yet and that in
several of those where it was adopt
ed, it has been thrown out as uncon-
stitutional.
There is said to be a strong and
increasing sentiment among the law
makers here against jeoparding the
interests of the most important man.

CAN OLD LIME sULFUR BE USED?

One of the subjects of many letters
of inquiry now reaching the office of
State Zoologist H. A. Surface, at Har-
risburg, is that pertaining to the use
of old lime sulfur solution. Writers
state that they have some of this So
luton, which was left over from the
previous season, and ask if it can be
used with good effect. To this in
quiry Professor Surface replies as
follows, in accordance with the re-
suits of his practical experience ex-
tending through several years:
The lime-sulfur solution can
safely be used for the destruction of
the San Jose scale and other insects
and plant diseases, without regard to
its age, if it is thoroughly applied
and used strong enough. After it has
crystallized, there is partial deter
ioration in its efficiency, but as long
as any of the solution is left, it is all
right to use for either the dormant
spray or for summer spray when
properly diluted. 1t is important,
however, that it be tested with hy-
drometer at the time of dilution.
An instrument for testing lime-sul-
fur solution, with full directions, can
be obtained from the manufacturers
for less than one dollar, and is sim
pie, easily used and understood. /
do not recommend any person to at
tempt to use any lime-sulfur solu-
tion, neither homemade nor CONNER
cial, fresh nor old, without testing
1t with a hydrometer at the time OF
its application.
The specific gravity hydrometer is
coming into universal use for this
purpose. The material can be
stronger for dormant spray than di-
rected in the hydrometer test, but il
made weaker, it will not be satisfac.
tory on dormant trees. When spray.
ing trees in leaf as, for example with
the Curculio or Cooling moth, arsen.
ate OF lead must be added to the
lime-sulfur solution, which at that
time acts as fungicide preventing
plant diseases, instead of entirely an
insecticide, although 1t has recently
been proven that spraying Just after
the blossoms fall with dilute lime,
sulfur solution destroys the Codline
moth and has the same effect al
though poison were added, without
the expense and possible danger tc
livestock from adding or carelessly
using the arsenate of lead.

Why It Pays to Grade Your Corn to
Uniform Size.
lRY Manson campbeII.l

Some farmers will raise anywhere
from 100 to 1875 bushels of corn per
acre while their neighbors who have
just as good land will produce only
from 20 to 30 bushels per acre.
why is this?"
The man who raised the 100 bushels
per acre graded his corn and tested
it before planting, and the man who
raised 20 bushels per acre is the man
who planted any old seed that he
could get holo of. He will go out to
his crib along about the first of May,
and take out some fairly good looking
ears that have been frozen all win
ter, shell them and go and plant them.
Any person who follows this slip
shod method Of farming does not de-
serve as good crop as the man who
raises from 100 to 125 bushels, and
who can be seen in the early husking-
time going through his field of corn
and taking out the very best ears to
usefor his next seasons seed. These
ears are taken to the house or some
other good warm building and thor
onghly cured or prepared for seed,
then during the winter the seed is
tested or terminated to prove that
1t Is of good quality, and the ears
that show good strong termination

TEST ALL SEED GRAIN
No Grain Should Be Planted Which
Tests Less Than 95 per Cent.
Strong-very Simple Method for
Winter Evenings or for School
Work.
BY Prof. A. L. Stone.

National Crop Improvement service]
Every grower should test his seed
before sowing. Age lowers its vital
ity. A determination of the seeds
power to grow, is therefore absolutely
necessary for the success of the fu-
ture crop. Samples for the germina-
ton test, should be selected from
grain which has been previously
cleaned and graded. Cleaned to re-
move light and immatured kernels,
weedy seeds and foreign material.
Graded to secure the plumpest and
largest seed, uniformity in size and
maturity of the grain, will insure an
even growth and maturity Of the
crop.
A tester for testing the samples can
be easily made by using two tin
plates, one slightly smaller than the
other. Cotton flannel or blotting pa
per pads are cut of the same size as
the inside of the under plate. The
pads are soaked in water and squeez-
ed to remove surplus moisture. A pad
is put in bottom of larger plate and
100 kernels are counted and distr1b-
uted over it. Another pad is placed
upon the seed and the smaller plate
inverted and used as cover to pre-
vent evaporation. This tester should
be placed in a convenient place where
the temperature is between IA and
80 degrees f. Water can be added to
pads when they become somewhat
dry. Count sprouted seeds after one
week.
There are number Of good COM
mercial seed testers on the market.
No grain should give a termination
of less than 95 per cent. for the best
results. The higher the percentage
of termination the better. That all
the grain terminates Is not sufficient,
however. The termination should be
strong and vigorous resulting in a
strong, rapidly growing young plant.
AS the success or failure of the crop
depends upon it this is an important
point.
Any child ten years old can
make this test. Why not get your
school interested at once?
