MONROE SENDS MAYOR MEMENTo

There is a present of some unknown
character and quantity on the road
somewhere between New Orleans and
Monroe, La, for Mayor Behrman,
which is plodding its way through in
the parcel post, and for which the
city's chief executive is waiting with
the utmost interest and curiosity. He
has been unable thus far to figure out
whether it is a million bushels of corn,
a house and lot, or just what. That
it is en- route, however, is evidenced by
the following communication which
was received by Mayor Behrman from
Secretary Luther Ellison, of the Cham
Der of Commerce, of Monroe, recently.
Il am to-day forwarding by parcel
post to you a small token of appreci-
alton, presented by fifty leading bust
ness men of the "Rich Monroe Dis
trict," for the valuable assistance rem
dered by you in making famous the
Holden Agricultural Tour" of the
state, during the month of April, which
was such a grand success, and trust
the same will reach you in safety. No
treatment could exceed in cordially
that which We received from your gen.
erous hands on that most memorable
occasion, and we sincerely trust that
in the near future we may have the
honor and pleasure of entertaining you
in the fair city of Monroe on a similar
mission of prosperity-building for the
fair state of Louisiana"
The memento is sure to arrive short
ly.

SOW a cover crop. Twenty pounds of
hairy vetch and one bushel of rye
make a good cover crop for orchards
on poor soil. This cover crop should
be allowed to grow all the fall and be
tuned under the following spring.
An orchard may be Intercepted
with cotton, corn or any other clean
cultivated crop, provided enough room
isleft for the growth of the trees and
the inter-cropping is stopped as soon
as the orchard comes into bearing.
Never allow small grain to mature in
an orchard A cover crop should al
Why's be sown, even if the orchard is
inter-cropped.
A good fertilizer for bearing orch
am is composed of 100 pounds of cot
t0seed meal, 300 pounds of acid phos
plate, 16 per cent. and 100 pounds of
rTuriate of potash. A bearing orchard
aould receive 600 pounds broad

however, that pruning in the winter
bsters wood production, while prun-
hg in the summer tends to retard the
rowth of the plant. Weak and poor
growing trees should be heavily prun-
I'd in the fall and winter. Scupper
hongs, If pruned, should be worked
over before New Years. Grapes
should be prunned as soon after
Christmas as possible.
Spraying should also be practiced
in the orchard. Every orchard should
be sprayed with concentrated lime ana
sulphur during the winter as pre-
tentative and a cure for San Jose
scale, peach leaf curl, and shot-hole
fungus. After the little fruits are set
they should also receive an applica-
ton of self-boiled lime and sulphur
and arsenate of lead, and in three
weeks or a month later it is well to
make an application of self-boiled lime
and sulphur. On the grapes and small
fruits the early spray of concentrated
lime and sulphur can be substituted
by copper sulphate.
A sharp lookout should be kept at
all times for the appearance of vari-
Gus insects and diseases. The trees
should be wormed once or twice a
year: when a tree is knocked over 1t
