prove to be more satisfactory.

add Thirteenth street to the number of

APPLE VARIETY

MANY TRIED: FEW CHOSEN
Only WeII-Tested Varieties Should Be
included In the Ordinary
Orchard.

A list OF the names Of the many
varieties Of fruit that have been grown
in America in the past fifty years
would ill volume. In apples alone
this list would number nearly two
thousand names. Single collections Of
apples have contained over twelve hun
bred varieties at one time. Contin.
ually swelling this list is the annual
deluge of new varieties Offered for the
first time by the enterprising tree
agent. Each of these new sorts has
peculiar characteristics that give
promise Ton paper) of revolutionizing
the apple industry. With the majority
Of these much-heralded varieties the
greatest asset is catchy name and
an attractive Autograph.
The significant fact that stands out
in connection with this matter Is that,
although thousands have been tried,
few have been chosen. Fifty varieties
would probably cover the number OF
really desirable commercial apples
grown to-day. While the production OF
new kinds goes merrily on, the wise
fruit grower will watch proceedings
with interest, but will be chary about
dabbling with the glittering unknown.
After the experiment stations and curl
GUS growers have tested each new sort
and have discarded the worthless, the
conservative, but clear=headed, grower
selects those which are of value and
ignores the rest.

Moisture, Not Cold Injuries Corn
Germs.

The proper storage Of seed corn is
just as important as its selection" said
Prof. w. B. Kemp. Of the Colleges of
Agriculture, recently in discussing this
ever live topic. The main point is to
have every seed ear well dried before
cold freezing weather sets IN. It is the
freezing and thaWing Of excessive mois-
ture in the kernel which injuries the
germ. An that . usually necessary to
get the ears well dried is TO hang them
up or to arrange them separately in 3
dry room having good ventilation.
ANY Of the many wire contriEaness for
this purpose may be used but where q
relatively small amount Of corn i being
kept the ears might well be suspended
By the husks from nails driven in the
attic rafteFs. The storage room should
never get very warm but if tho carr
are dry. cold weather will have no effec,
upon the germs.
